A86423 A treatise containing three things. Viz. [3 braces] 1. A discovery of the unsupportable burthen of sinne, to a heart that is saint-like sensible of sin. 2. The restlesse resolution of a soule to returne to God, who is saint-like sensible of his withdrawings. 3. A discovery of the sweet and unexpected entertainment that wandring hearts meet with in their returnes to God. / Written by Lieutenant Collonel Paul Hobson. Hobson, Paul. 1653 (1653) Wing H2276; Thomason E1479_3; ESTC R208731 63,513 154

to_o other_o but_o no_o more_o of_o the_o first_o reason_n why_o the_o best_a of_o saint_n be_v apt_a sometime_o to_o withdraw_v from_o their_o rest_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o god_n god_n be_v please_v sometime_o not_o to_o throw_v down_o but_o to_o suffer_v saint_n to_o fall_v that_o they_o may_v stand_v more_o firm_o in_o god_n power_n and_o live_v less_o upon_o themselves_o god_n in_o this_o deal_v like_o a_o wise_a father_n who_o be_v please_v sometime_o not_o to_o hold_v the_o child_n but_o to_o let_v it_o slip_v that_o it_o may_v see_v itself_o to_o be_v weak_a and_o to_o know_v that_o his_o power_n of_o stand_v be_v from_o the_o father_n i_o fear_v many_o people_n look_v upon_o this_o truth_n with_o a_o wrong_a eye_n and_o do_v conceive_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o only_o permit_v but_o cause_v by_o god_n and_o they_o form_n their_o reason_n thus_o all_o power_n be_v of_o god_n in_o he_o we_o act_n move_v and_o have_v our_o 11.26_o our_o act._n 17.28_o rom._n 11.26_o be_v if_o so_o then_o the_o very_a act_n of_o sin_n must_v needs_o be_v of_o god_n but_o as_o to_o these_o people_n i_o shall_v only_o say_v thus_o much_o they_o err_v not_o know_v the_o truth_n for_o the_o action_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o pollution_n of_o the_o act_n be_v another_o thing_n sin_n be_v the_o variation_n from_o a_o rule_n in_o a_o act_n and_o though_o action_n be_v cause_v by_o god_n yet_o the_o pollution_n of_o the_o act_n flow_v from_o the_o sickness_n and_o soar_v which_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n but_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o that_o but_o beg_v of_o you_o to_o be_v tender_a and_o careful_a to_o avoid_v the_o embrace_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o to_o lay_v fin_n upon_o 17._o upon_o james_n 1.13_o 14_o 15_o 16_o 17._o god_n for_o he_o be_v light_a in_o who_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n and_o purity_n in_o who_o be_v no_o pollution_n and_o you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o noisome_a stink_v of_o a_o dunghill_n do_v flow_v from_o the_o sun_n because_o it_o smell_v when_o the_o sun_n shine_v upon_o it_o as_o to_o say_v the_o sinfullnesse_n of_o a_o act_n flow_v from_o god_n because_o the_o act_n flow_v from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n but_o i_o be_o confident_a those_o heart_n who_o be_v saintlike_o sensible_a of_o sin_n will_v not_o lay_v sin_n upon_o the_o father_n though_o he_o do_v sometime_o suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v that_o they_o may_v stand_v the_o fast_o when_o he_o be_v please_v to_o raise_v they_o but_o no_o more_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n nor_o yet_o to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o conclusion_n but_o a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o use_n and_o to_o conclude_v the_o first_o use_n if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v apt_a to_o withdraw_v from_o their_o rest_n in_o this_o sense_n which_o we_o have_v before_o discover_v o_o then_o what_o cause_n have_v all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n not_o only_o to_o walk_v humble_o before_o god_n but_o with_o care_n and_o watchfullnesse_n endeavour_v to_o avoid_v all_o occasion_n that_o may_v occasion_v their_o stumble_a and_o withdraw_v from_o 4.7_o from_o 2_o tim._n 2.22_o 23._o 1_o thes_n 5.22_o mark_n 13.33.35_o 1_o pet._n 4.7_o god_n we_o may_v use_v many_o argument_n but_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v sufficient_a know_v that_o the_o estate_n of_o withdraw_a be_v a_o restless_a estate_n and_o the_o further_o we_o go_v in_o that_o tract_n the_o way_n to_o return_v will_v be_v the_o large_a and_o without_o return_n there_o be_v no_o rest_n the_o second_o use_n be_v to_o exhort_v the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o to_o watch_v over_o themselves_o so_o to_o watch_v over_o each_o other_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o apostle_n word_n in_o heb._n 10.25_o 1_o pet._n 4.7_o if_o thy_o brother_n

endeavour_v to_o restore_v he_o but_o dear_a friend_n i_o beg_v of_o you_o to_o avoid_v such_o employment_n and_o rather_o mind_n what_o a_o gospel-spirit_n be_v and_o with_o kindness_n and_o care_n watch_v over_o each_o other_o and_o if_o you_o see_v weakness_n want_n or_o fayling_n endeavour_v to_o heal_v restore_v and_o return_v such_o heart_n this_o use_n in_o the_o second_o place_n be_v to_o

you_o and_o if_o they_o fall_v and_o you_o stand_v it_o be_v not_o you_o but_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n in_o you_o and_o therefore_o this_o shall_v exhort_v you_o to_o humbleness_n and_o meekness_n towards_o they_o and_o with_o humbleness_n and_o meekness_n endeavour_v to_o disslave_v they_o by_o mourn_v over_o they_o see_v yourselves_o in_o they_o and_o say_v when_o you_o see_v they_o commit_v iniquity_n that_o sin_n shall_v i_o commit_v be_v it_o not_o from_o love_n and_o grace_n which_o be_v not_o i_o but_o another_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o will_v not_o only_o cause_v we_o to_o walk_v meek_o and_o humble_o towards_o other_o but_o thankful_o before_o god_n who_o have_v be_v please_v only_o through_o grace_n to_o make_v a_o difference_n the_o three_o use_n be_v to_o comfort_v those_o poor_a heart_n who_o lie_v under_o the_o sorrow_n of_o their_o withdrawing_n from_o rest_n and_o be_v apt_a to_o conclude_v they_o belong_v not_o to_o it_o because_o they_o run_v so_o often_o from_o it_o dear_a heart_n consider_v that_o the_o best_a of_o saint_n sometime_o be_v apt_a to_o withdraw_v from_o their_o rest_n therefore_o if_o 24._o if_o psal_n 51.4_o 5._o rom._n 7.23_o 24._o

this_o conclusion_n we_o shall_v brief_o speak_v to_o these_o three_o thing_n first_o prove_v it_o to_o you_o by_o scripture_n second_o show_v you_o the_o reason_n and_o ground_n why_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v make_v sensible_a of_o his_o withdraw_n from_o rest_n be_v restless_a till_o he_o do_v return_v three_o a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o use_n for_o the_o first_o the_o scripture_n be_v very_o clear_a the_o very_a text_n itself_o show_v how_o restless_a david_n spirit_n be_v for_o he_o cry_v out_o say_v return_v unto_o thy_o rest_n o_o my_o soul_n you_o may_v see_v he_o in_o the_o same_o posture_n in_o the_o 63_o psalm_n and_o the_o first_o verse_n where_o he_o cry_v out_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o want_n of_o god_n say_v his_o soul_n thirst_v for_o god_n and_o his_o flesh_n long_v in_o a_o dry_a and_o thirsty_a land_n where_o no_o water_n war_n the_o word_n import_n much_o more_o for_o they_o imply_v as_o much_o as_o this_o that_o his_o heart_n break_v in_o longing_n and_o that_o he_o look_v upon_o his_o condition_n without_o a_o sensible_a view_n of_o god_n to_o be_v without_o any_o satisfaction_n like_o a_o fish_n
that_o which_o be_v at_o this_o time_n most_o sensible_a in_o my_o heart_n to_o speak_v to_o you_o from_o what_o god_n have_v speak_v to_o i_o in_o my_o present_a condition_n be_v three_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v a_o discovery_n of_o the_o unsupportable_a burden_n of_o sin_n when_o discover_v by_o the_o light_n of_o god_n love_n second_o the_o restless_a resolution_n of_o a_o saint_n when_o he_o be_v saintlike_a sensible_a of_o his_o withdraw_n from_o god_n to_o turn_v to_o god_n three_o the_o gracious_a and_o sweet_a entertainment_n the_o soul_n find_v with_o god_n when_o that_o he_o be_v bring_v home_o and_o i_o shall_v declare_v it_o from_o three_o portion_n of_o scripture_n the_o first_o from_o psalm_n the_o 38._o and_o the_o 4_o verse_n the_o second_o from_o psalm_n the_o 11_o

verse_n for_o my_o iniquity_n be_v go_v over_o my_o head_n as_o a_o heavy_a burden_n they_o be_v too_o heavy_a for_o i_o dear_a friend_n this_o scripture_n i_o have_v former_o view_v and_o have_v former_o speak_v something_o from_o it_o but_o i_o be_o now_o constrain_v to_o declare_v what_o god_n have_v preach_v to_o i_o for_o he_o have_v be_v please_v through_o a_o discovery_n of_o my_o unsutablenes_n and_o my_o unkindness_n by_o which_o he_o have_v not_o only_o break_v my_o bone_n but_o he_o have_v leave_v no_o soundness_n in_o my_o flesh_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v by_o flesh_n fleshly_a nature_n but_o all_o the_o fleshline_v of_o my_o own_o righteousness_n by_o which_o former_o i_o refresh_v myself_o with_o the_o spark_n of_o my_o own_o performance_n and_o refresh_v myself_o with_o the_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n i_o gather_v from_o thence_o but_o now_o my_o wound_n be_v too_o large_a to_o be_v heal_v with_o such_o a_o salve_n but_o no_o more_o of_o that_o but_o to_o the_o word_n and_o in_o they_o you_o may_v consider_v in_o general_a a_o affirmation_n wherein_o you_o may_v first_o consider_v the_o partic_a affirm_v that_o be_v david_n second_o the_o

consider_v the_o time_n when_o it_o be_v when_o god_n have_v show_v he_o so_o much_o of_o his_o own_o nothingnes_n that_o he_o have_v nothing_o leave_v to_o live_v upon_o beside_o free_a love_n there_o be_v no_o rest_n in_o his_o bone_n nor_o no_o soundness_n in_o his_o flesh_n by_o bone_n and_o flesh_n we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v it_o natural_o but_o spiritual_o and_o by_o flesh_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o in_o a_o double_a sense_n according_a to_o these_o scripture_n galatian_n the_o 5._o and_o the_o 19_o verse_n gal._n the_o 6._o and_o the_o 12_o verse_n philippian_n the_o 3._o and_o the_o 3_o and_o 4_o verse_n dear_a friend_n we_o may_v observe_v a_o conclusion_n from_o the_o party_n affirm_v the_o affirmation_n itself_o and_o the_o time_n when_o and_o the_o

in_o the_o prosecution_n the_o conclusion_n observe_v these_o four_o thing_n first_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o by_o scripture_n second_o consider_v what_o sin_n be_v three_o what_o a_o saintlike_a

out_o as_o a_o restless_a man_n under_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n you_o may_v further_o see_v psal_n 51._o the_o 1_o 2_o 3._o and_o 4_o verse_n jeremiah_n the_o 3._o and_o the_o 25_o verse_n lamentation_n the_o 5._o the_o 15_o 16_o 17_o verse_n all_o which_o do_v discover_v how_o unsupportable_a the_o burden_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o a_o heart_n that_o be_v saintlike_a sensible_a of_o sin_n dear_a friend_n we_o need_v not_o much_o proof_n to_o he_o that_o know_v it_o as_o i_o be_o confident_a every_o heart_n that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o god_n have_v sufficient_a experience_n of_o this_o to_o confirm_v it_o the_o daily_a heart-breaking_n in_o that_o soul_n who_o be_v sensible_a of_o his_o own_o unkindness_n by_o read_v god_n kindness_n do_v demonstrate_v it_o but_o i_o shall_v add_v

sin_n and_o three_o the_o effect_n first_o what_o be_v sin_n the_o apostle_n tell_v you_o in_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o john_n the_o 3_o chap._n and_o the_o 4_o verse_n that_o sin_n be_v the_o

as_o impossible_a as_o to_o speak_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n for_o sin_n in_o all_o thing_n be_v contrary_a to_o god_n whatsoever_o you_o can_v say_v of_o darkness_n of_o death_n of_o hell_n and_o devil_n you_o may_v say_v of_o sin_n sin_n comprehend_v all_o and_o be_v one_o with_o either_o john_n in_o the_o revelation_n tell_v we_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o satan_n temptation_n 2.24_o

sin_n be_v not_o able_a to_o speak_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n but_o i_o know_v that_o that_o heart_n which_o be_v saintlike_a sensible_a of_o sin_n and_o do_v see_v sin_n to_o present_v himself_o as_o it_o do_v so_o ugly_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n think_v sin_n can_v never_o be_v present_v ugly_a enough_o and_o especial_o because_o they_o see_v that_o in_o sin_v they_o do_v not_o

15.16_o jud._n 24._o 1_o john_n 4.10_o second_o it_o be_v god_n way_n many_o time_n to_o leave_v his_o people_n without_o the_o sensitive_a part_n of_o their_o comfort_n and_o though_o they_o do_v

the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v hinder_v in_o apply_v christ_n and_o promise_n because_o they_o look_v upon_o they_o through_o a_o wrong_a glass_n viz._n through_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o

not_o touch_v a_o promise_n without_o holy_a hand_n and_o holy_a heart_n whereas_o we_o be_v not_o to_o believe_v because_o we_o be_v holy_a but_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v be_v unholy_a that_o we_o may_v be_v holy_a i_o now_o remember_v what_o mr_n hocker_n say_v in_o the_o same_o case_n concern_v the_o hindrance_n that_o christian_n meet_v with_o in_o apply_v promise_n it_o be_v with_o they_o say_v he_o as_o with_o a_o man_n that_o go_v to_o take_v a_o staff_n in_o his_o hand_n if_o he_o put_v the_o back_n of_o his_o hand_n to_o the_o staff_n he_o can_v hold_v it_o till_o he_o put_v it_o in_o the_o palm_n of_o his_o hand_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n when_o they_o go_v to_o a_o promise_n they_o go_v to_o lay_v hold_n on_o it_o with_o the_o back_n side_n of_o the_o

in_o christ_n in_o themselves_o they_o be_v altogether_o unworthy_a in_o christ_n they_o be_v worthy_a in_o themselves_o they_o be_v black_a in_o christ_n they_o 5.27_o they_o can._n 1.8_o eph._n 5.27_o be_v comely_a second_o so_o they_o also_o do_v when_o they_o endeavour_v to_o go_v to_o christ_n through_o a_o promise_n and_o not_o to_o a_o promise_n through_o christ_n wherein_o they_o

if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o a_o promise_n be_v i_o shall_v discover_v my_o thought_n in_o this_o general_a term_n that_o include_v all_o a_o promise_n be_v the_o declaration_n of_o god_n good_a

in_o he_o three_o we_o be_v say_v to_o go_v with_o the_o backside_n of_o the_o hand_n to_o a_o promise_n when_o we_o so_o look_v upon_o corruption_n in_o we_o that_o we_o dare_v not_o apply_v

therefore_o belove_a friend_n let_v i_o beg_v of_o you_o to_o be_v very_o serious_a in_o weigh_v the_o worth_n of_o god_n tender_n and_o also_o the_o way_n of_o god_n tender_n and_o know_v this_o as_o it_o be_v dangerous_a for_o man_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o believe_v free_a grace_n to_o give_v way_n to_o sin_n so_o it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o stay_v from_o believe_a grace_n till_o we_o
