out_o saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o when_o a_o man_n tread_v upon_o another_o man_n little_a toe_n the_o tongue_n complain_v why_o do_v you_o hurt_v i_o jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n he_o complain_v of_o himself_o be_v persecute_v in_o his_o member_n he_o have_v such_o a_o sympathy_n with_o they_o that_o be_v the_o first_o quaery_n second_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v how_o do_v jesus_n christ_n succour_n and_o relieve_v his_o servant_n in_o their_o temptation_n i_o answer_v he_o succour_v and_o relieve_v they_o these_o five_o way_n first_o by_o discover_v to_o they_o that_o it_o be_v a_o temptation_n for_o many_o there_o be_v that_o misliste_n their_o temptation_n some_o take_v temptation_n for_o the_o impulsess_v or_o impress_n of_o god_n spirit_n not_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v tempt_a providence_n as_o well_o as_o approve_v providence_n such_o a_o providence_n be_v that_o which_o you_o read_v of_o when_o david_n have_v saul_n at_o a_o advantage_n 1_o sam._n 26.8_o when_o saul_n lie_v sleep_v in_o his_o trench_n and_o his_o spear_n stick_v in_o the_o ground_n at_o his_o bolster_n than_o say_v abishai_n to_o david_n god_n have_v deliver_v thy_o enemy_n into_o thy_o hand_n this_o day_n now_o therefore_o let_v i_o smite_v he_o i_o pray_v thou_o with_o the_o spear_n even_o to_o the_o earth_n at_o once_o and_o i_o will_v not_o smite_v he_o the_o second_o time_n abishai_n think_v that_o this_o be_v a_o approve_v medicine_n that_o god_n have_v deliver_v saul_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o david_n and_o now_o he_o may_v be_v avenge_v upon_o he_o and_o cut_v his_o throat_n and_o smite_v he_o present_o nay_o nay_o say_v david_n to_o abishai_n destroy_v he_o not_o for_o who_o can_v stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n against_o the_o lord_n anoint_v and_o be_v guiltless_a david_n see_v it_o be_v a_o tempting-providence_n not_o a_o approving-providence_n he_o will_v not_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o his_o blood_n he_o will_v not_o slay_v the_o lord_n anoint_v though_o his_o enemy_n though_o a_o wicked_a man_n though_o a_o man_n guilty_a of_o blood_n for_o he_o have_v slay_v fourscore_o of_o the_o lord_n priest_n at_o one_o time_n command_v doeg_n to_o fall_v upon_o they_o and_o destroy_v they_o but_o say_v david_n i_o will_v not_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n anoint_v though_o he_o have_v deliver_v he_o into_o my_o hand_n this_o be_v but_o a_o tempting-providence_n not_o a_o approving-providence_n this_o be_v a_o certain_a rule_n that_o there_o be_v tempt_a providence_n as_o well_o as_o approving-providences_a to_o follow_v providence_n without_o the_o word_n be_v dangerous_a to_o follow_v providence_n against_o the_o word_n be_v damnable_a but_o to_o follow_v providence_n with_o the_o word_n that_o only_o be_v safe_a and_o comfortable_a now_o david_n he_o have_v a_o providence_n here_o but_o he_o have_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n go_v along_o with_o that_o providence_n and_o therefore_o he_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o tempting-providence_n now_o jesus_n christ_n succour_v his_o people_n by_o discover_v to_o they_o which_o be_v a_o tempting-providence_n and_o which_o be_v a_o approving-providence_n second_o the_o lord_n christ_n succour_n and_o relieve_v they_o by_o his_o gracious_a supportation_n he_o do_v support_v they_o under_o their_o trial_n that_o be_v a_o precious_a scripture_n that_o tempt_v one_o shall_v be_v continual_o meditate_v upon_o 1_o cor._n 10.13_o there_o have_v no_o temptation_n take_v you_o but_o such_o as_o be_v common_a to_o man_n but_o god_n be_v faithful_a who_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o that_o you_o be_v able_a but_o will_v with_o the_o temptation_n also_o make_v a_o way_n to_o escape_v that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o god_n sometime_o draw_v the_o bow_n to_o the_o arrow_n head_n but_o he_o will_v not_o break_v the_o bow_n if_o god_n lay_v heavy_a load_n on_o poor_a tempt_v one_o than_o he_o will_v make_v their_o shoulder_n so_o much_o the_o strong_a by_o his_o gracious_a manutency_n or_o hold_v they_o by_o the_o hand_n psal_n 73.23_o nevertheless_o i_o be_o continual_o with_o thou_o thou_o have_v hold_v i_o by_o my_o right_a hand_n and_o when_o god_n hold_v a_o poor_a tempt_v soul_n by_o the_o right_a hand_n though_o he_o fall_v he_o shall_v not_o utter_o be_v cast_v down_o because_o the_o lord_n uphold_v he_o psal_n 37.24_o three_o jesus_n christ_n relieve_v and_o succour_v tempt_v once_o by_o his_o gracious_a intercession_n for_o he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n to_o make_v intercession_n for_o they_o heb._n 7.25_o and_o if_o so_o be_v thou_o be_v but_o one_o that_o do_v but_o desire_n to_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o take_v hold_v of_o he_o though_o it_o be_v but_o with_o a_o tremble_a hand_n know_v thus_o much_o for_o thy_o comfort_n in_o every_o temptation_n that_o thou_o meet_v with_o jesus_n christ_n do_v nominate_v thou_o to_o his_o father_n he_o nominate_v thou_o in_o particular_a and_o he_o say_v to_o thou_o as_o he_o do_v to_o peter_n i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v not_o luke_n 22.32_o four_o jesus_n christ_n do_v succour_n and_o relieve_v tempt_v once_o by_o make_v a_o diversion_n some_o way_n or_o other_o of_o they_o by_o a_o less_o temptation_n sometime_o he_o prevent_v a_o great_a that_o will_v even_o crush_v a_o poor_a soul_n to_o piece_n sometime_o by_o a_o outward_a affliction_n upon_o the_o body_n he_o prevent_v a_o great_a affliction_n and_o trouble_n that_o will_v lie_v upon_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v better_a a_o thousand_o time_n to_o be_v afflict_v in_o the_o body_n than_o afflict_v in_o the_o mind_n five_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v succour_n tempt_v once_o by_o a_o gracious_a abolition_n as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o by_o a_o total_a removal_n of_o the_o temptation_n when_o he_o tread_v satan_n under_o our_o foot_n as_o he_o have_v promise_v rom._n 16.20_o and_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n shall_v bruise_v satan_n under_o your_o foot_n short_o and_o when_o he_o give_v charge_n to_o satan_n as_o he_o do_v to_o he_o concern_v the_o poor_a child_n that_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o dumb_a and_o deaf_a spirit_n i_o charge_v thou_o that_o thou_o come_v out_o of_o he_o and_o that_o thou_o enter_v into_o he_o no_o more_o mark_n 9.25_o thus_o you_o have_v the_o point_n open_v now_o brief_o to_o apply_v it_o two_o use_v i_o shall_v make_v of_o it_o first_o for_o information_n second_o for_o consolation_n first_o for_o information_n you_o may_v learn_v this_o lesson_n by_o way_n of_o inference_n that_o god_n own_o people_n his_o elect_n true_a believer_n must_v look_v for_o temptation_n nay_o they_o must_v look_v for_o divers_a temptation_n jam._n 1.12_o my_o brethren_n count_v it_o all_o joy_n when_o you_o fall_v into_o divers_a temptation_n in_o 1_o pet._n 6_o wherein_o you_o great_o rejoice_v though_o now_o for_o a_o season_n if_o need_v be_v you_o be_v in_o heaviness_n through_o manifold_a temptation_n they_o must_v look_v for_o temptation_n of_o all_o sort_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o like_a case_n all_z that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n must_v suffer_v persecution_n so_o all_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a must_v look_v for_o temptation_n god_n people_n may_v be_v tempt_v these_o four_o way_n first_o sometime_o they_o may_v be_v tempt_v by_o their_o godly_a friend_n so_o be_v st._n paul_n act_v 11.12_o when_o the_o prophet_n agabus_n foretell_v that_o paul_n shall_v be_v bind_v at_o jerusalem_n and_o suffer_v so_o many_o thing_n of_o the_o jew_n paul_n godly_a friend_n dissuade_v he_o from_o go_v thither_o but_o paul_n look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o temptation_n for_o say_v he_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n what_o mean_v you_o to_o weep_v and_o to_o break_v my_o heart_n for_o i_o be_o ready_a not_o to_o be_v bind_v only_o but_o also_o to_o die_v at_o jerusalem_n for_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n act_v 21.13_o second_o god_n people_n be_v sometime_o tempt_v by_o wicked_a man_n as_o joseph_n be_v by_o his_o wanton_a and_o lascivious_a mistress_n three_o god_n people_n be_v tempt_v sometime_o by_o satan_n they_o be_v tempt_v to_o presumption_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o to_o desperation_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n for_o these_o be_v two_o great_a rock_n upon_o which_o thousand_o of_o soul_n suffer_v shipwreck_n but_o there_o be_v more_o that_o perish_v on_o the_o rock_n of_o presumption_n than_o of_o desperation_n four_o god_n child_n be_v sometime_o tempt_v by_o god_n himself_o it_o be_v say_v god_n tempt_v abraham_n to_o try_v he_o gen._n 22.1_o and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v after_o these_o thing_n that_o god_n do_v tempt_v abraham_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o abraham_n and_o he_o say_v behold_v here_o i_o

eph._n 2.8_o and_o you_o can_v of_o yourselves_o believe_v so_o saint_n peter_n he_o bid_v simon_n magus_n pray_v that_o his_o sin_n may_v be_v forgive_v he_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o no_o man_n be_v able_a of_o himself_o to_o pray_v in_o a_o acceptable_a manner_n say_v the_o apostle_n we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v but_o the_o spirit_n help_v our_o infirmity_n rom._n 28.6_o but_o the_o arminian_o they_o stretch_v the_o objection_n yet_o a_o little_a further_o and_o argue_v thus_o object_n if_o god_n command_v we_o to_o do_v what_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v than_o this_o be_v cruelty_n in_o god_n and_o they_o give_v you_o a_o instance_n for_o example_n say_v they_o if_o you_o tie_v a_o man_n hand_n and_o bid_v he_o work_v or_o cut_v off_o his_o leg_n ard_n bid_v he_o walk_v this_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o cruelty_n so_o say_v they_o if_o god_n bid_v we_o do_v his_o will_n and_o we_o have_v no_o freedom_n nor_o ability_n to_o do_v his_o will_n than_o this_o be_v cruelty_n in_o god_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o if_o god_n shall_v tie_v our_o hand_n or_o cut_v off_o our_o leg_n than_o this_o objection_n will_v be_v of_o some_o weight_n but_o god_n do_v not_o do_v so_o god_n at_o first_o make_v man_n upright_o he_o give_v we_o ability_n to_o do_v his_o will_n but_o if_o we_o have_v lose_v that_o ability_n we_o can_v blame_v god_n but_o ourselves_o our_o destruction_n be_v from_o ourselves_o our_o inability_n to_o do_v duty_n be_v from_o ourselves_o second_o i_o answer_v natural_a and_o unregenerate_a man_n though_o they_o can_v work_v grace_n in_o their_o own_o heart_n yet_o they_o may_v do_v something_o in_o a_o tendency_n to_o grace_n they_o may_v wait_v on_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n they_o may_v hear_v as_o they_o be_v able_a and_o pray_v as_o they_o be_v able_a and_o do_v duty_n as_o they_o be_v able_a they_o may_v wait_v upon_o god_n as_o they_o do_v in_o act_n 2_o when_o they_o cry_v out_o man_n and_o brethren_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o be_v save_v 1_o cor._n 14.24_o 25._o they_o may_v come_v to_o the_o assembly_n of_o god_n saint_n as_o that_o ignorant_a and_o unbeliever_n do_v though_o for_o the_o present_a he_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n yet_o by_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v he_o be_v convince_v and_o convert_v man_n be_v not_o damn_v for_o cannot_n but_o for_o will-not_n man_n be_v not_o damn_v because_o they_o can_v do_v no_o better_o but_o because_o they_o will_v do_v no_o better_o three_o i_o answer_v though_o we_o do_v not_o work_v with_o god_n yet_o god_n will_v not_o work_v without_o we_o god_n save_v no_o man_n against_o his_o will_n god_n carry_v no_o man_n to_o heaven_n as_o a_o sack_n be_v carry_v to_o the_o market_n on_o horseback_n but_o god_n save_v a_o man_n by_o bow_v and_o bend_v his_o will_n and_o of_o unwilling_a make_v he_o willing_a saint_n austin_n say_v qui_fw-la sine_fw-la auxilio_fw-la tuo_fw-la te_fw-la creavit_fw-la contra_fw-la voluntatem_fw-la tuam_fw-la te_fw-la non_fw-la salvabit_fw-la he_o that_o make_v thou_o without_o thou_o will_v not_o save_v thou_o without_o thou_o four_o i_o answer_v this_o objection_n of_o the_o arminian_o thus_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v he_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o my_o father_n he_o shall_v know_v of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o he_o suppose_v that_o such_o a_o man_n have_v grace_n in_o his_o heart_n that_o do_v enable_v he_o to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n though_o it_o be_v true_a a_o unregenerate_a man_n have_v no_o freedom_n of_o will_n to_o do_v good_a yet_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o the_o regenerate_v so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v regenerate_v have_v freedom_n of_o will_n to_o do_v good_a now_o for_o the_o use_n and_o application_n of_o this_o point_n brief_o first_o by_o way_n of_o information_n if_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v or_o shall_v be_v doer_n of_o god_n will_n than_o it_o follow_v he_o that_o will_v be_v a_o true_a disciple_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v a_o self-denying_a christian_a it_o be_v that_o i_o prove_v to_o you_o at_o large_a in_o many_o sermon_n upon_o luke_n 9.23_o he_o that_o will_v be_v a_o true_a christian_a must_v be_v a_o self-deny_a but_o why_o so_o it_o appear_v plain_o if_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v a_o doer_n of_o god_n will_n then_o first_o he_o must_v not_o do_v his_o own_o will_n but_o he_o must_v deny_v himself_o in_o that_o he_o must_v not_o walk_v in_o his_o own_o way_n he_o must_v not_o live_v by_o his_o own_o rule_n he_o must_v not_o prosecute_v his_o own_o end_n but_o he_o must_v do_v all_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o his_o lord_n and_o master_n second_o if_o he_o must_v do_v god_n will_n then_o he_o must_v not_o fulfil_v the_o will_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o of_o the_o mind_n ephes_n 2.3_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n disciple_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n together_o with_o the_o affection_n and_o lust_n of_o it_o gal._n 5.24_o three_o if_o he_o must_v do_v god_n will_n than_o he_o must_v not_o do_v the_o will_n of_o man_n he_o must_v not_o seek_v to_o please_v man_n gal._n 1.10_o or_o do_v i_o seek_v to_o please_v man_n for_o if_o i_o yet_o please_v man_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o christ_n four_o if_o he_o must_v make_v the_o will_n of_o god_n his_o rule_n than_o he_o must_v not_o make_v providence_n his_o rule_n nor_o the_o impulse_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o they_o be_v usual_o call_v first_o he_o must_v not_o make_v providence_n his_o rule_n 1_o sam._n 26.7_o 8_o 9_o david_n he_o have_v opportunity_n of_o kill_a saul_n who_o be_v his_o deadly_a enemy_n saul_n be_v now_o asleep_a in_o the_o cave_n he_o may_v have_v say_v sure_o here_o be_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n he_o have_v put_v my_o enemy_n into_o my_o hand_n but_o david_n will_v not_o make_v providence_n his_o rule_n because_o he_o have_v not_o a_o warrant_n from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o do_v any_o such_o thing_n i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o remember_v this_o rule_n to_o follow_v providence_n without_o the_o word_n be_v dangerous_a to_o follow_v it_o against_o the_o word_n be_v damnable_a but_o to_o follow_v providence_n with_o the_o word_n that_o be_v safe_a and_o warrantable_a neither_o must_v the_o impulse_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o your_o walk_n david_n have_v so_o strong_a impulse_n on_o his_o spirit_n to_o destroy_v nabal_n and_o his_o family_n for_o his_o churlishness_n to_o his_o soldier_n be_v in_o distress_n because_o he_o will_v not_o spare_v they_o necessary_n when_o he_o send_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o say_v god_n do_v so_o to_o i_o and_o more_o also_o if_o i_o leave_v any_o of_o nabals_n family_n and_o not_o cut_v off_o all_o that_o piss_v against_o the_o wall_n 1_o sam._n 25._o but_o upon_o the_o good_a counsel_n of_o abigail_n nabals_n wife_n he_o recollect_v himself_o and_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v do_v so_o but_o he_o bless_a god_n that_o he_o have_v divert_v he_o from_o his_o purpose_n second_o learn_v another_o lesson_n by_o way_n of_o inserence_n and_o that_o be_v this_o the_o life_n of_o true_a religion_n consist_v not_o in_o say_v but_o in_o do_v it_o consist_v not_o in_o profession_n but_o in_o practice_n when_o a_o man_n have_v the_o word_n of_o life_n in_o his_o mouth_n and_o the_o life_n of_o the_o word_n in_o his_o conversation_n than_o he_o be_v a_o christian_a indeed_o it_o be_v not_o the_o talk_n but_o the_o walk_a christian_a not_o he_o that_o talk_v of_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n and_o that_o talk_v of_o christianity_n but_o he_o that_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n that_o lead_v to_o eternal_a life_n this_o will_v prove_v you_o to_o be_v christian_n of_o a_o right_a stamp_n three_o learn_v this_o lesson_n that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o perfect_a rule_n of_o righteousness_n a_o thing_n be_v therefore_o good_a because_o god_n will_v it_o for_o god_n can_v will_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o good_a all_o his_o way_n be_v equal_a though_o our_o way_n be_v unequal_a all_o his_o path_n be_v righteousness_n therefore_o whatever_o god_n command_v it_o must_v therefore_o needs_o be_v good_a because_o he_o will_v it_o four_o learn_v this_o lesson_n if_o christian_n must_v be_v doer_n of_o god_n will_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o whosoever_o be_v proud_a stubborn_a and_o disobedient_a willing_o resist_v the_o command_n of_o god_n such_o certain_o can_v be_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n they_o that_o fulfil_v their_o own_o will_n and_o they_o that_o walk_v in_o their_o own_o way_n and_o after_o their_o own_o will_n
