bethesda_n wherein_o lie_v many_o sick_a and_o disease_a there_o be_v wait_v on_o every_o side_n 4.5_o and_o happy_a be_v he_o that_o can_v step_v in_o first_o for_o he_o that_o step_v in_o first_o after_o the_o stir_v of_o the_o water_n be_v heal_v of_o what_o disease_n soever_o he_o have_v we_o have_v a_o better_a pool_n they_o the_o pool_n of_o bethesda_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v water_n of_o life_n and_o able_a to_o cleanse_v the_o soul_n &_o body_n too_o if_o we_o step_v into_o it_o when_o it_o be_v stir_v by_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n how_o often_o have_v y_o e_o lord_n by_o his_o minister_n stir_v up_o this_o water_n that_o we_o may_v be_v heal_v by_o it_o no_o small_a favour_n no_o doubt_n but_o who_o wait_v for_o it_o who_o step_v into_o it_o nay_o who_o step_v not_o from_o it_o rather_o who_o be_v cleanse_v by_o it_o and_o yet_o who_o have_v not_o need_n of_o it_o for_o none_o can_v say_v his_o hart_n be_v clean_o now_o if_o we_o make_v no_o more_o reckon_n of_o god_n love_n and_o his_o love_n token_n then_o thus_o shall_v not_o those_o sick_a and_o disease_a man_n of_o bethesda_n rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o we_o no_o doubt_v they_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o whatsoever_o we_o want_v yet_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n do_v love_v we_o &_o never_o make_v any_o reckon_n of_o his_o love_n token_n but_o we_o may_v be_v deceive_v david_n be_v not_o always_o so_o sure_o for_o sometime_o he_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v forget_v he_o sometime_o he_o think_v that_o god_n have_v give_fw-ge he_o over_o to_o himself_o hereupon_o he_o cry_v out_o at_o one_o time_n 51.11.12_o how_o long_o shall_v thy_o wrath_n burn_v like_o fire_n for_o ever_o at_o another_o time_n he_o pray_v o_o take_v not_o thy_o spirit_n from_o i_o restore_v unto_o i_o the_o joy_n of_o my_o salvation_n by_o which_o pitiful_a cry_n it_o may_v appear_v that_o he_o be_v half_o afraid_a therefore_o he_o be_v glad_a to_o take_v a_o love_n token_n when_o it_o be_v offer_v he_o for_o when_o he_o be_v not_o sure_a of_o god_n love_n towards_o he_o he_o think_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o he_o and_o that_o be_v of_o all_o thing_n most_o terrible_a unto_o he_o and_o intolerable_a so_o must_v we_o if_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n be_v not_o angry_a with_o we_o we_o must_v be_v sure_a that_o he_o favour_v us._n if_o god_n people_n must_v be_v sure_a of_o god_n favour_n towards_o they_o in_o christ_n as_o david_n teach_v than_o we_o must_v not_o stand_v in_o doubt_n of_o it_o as_o papist_n do_v teach_v we_o have_v no_o reason_n so_o to_o do_v for_o do_v he_o call_v we_o his_o son_n and_o we_o call_v he_o our_o father_n that_o we_o shall_v doubt_v of_o his_o love_n do_v he_o call_v we_o his_o friend_n his_o brethren_n his_o spouse_n his_o love_n his_o dove_n and_o by_o all_o the_o name_n of_o love_n that_o we_o shall_v doubt_v of_o his_o love_n have_v he_o kiss_v we_o with_o so_o many_o kiss_n of_o his_o mouth_n have_v he_o send_v we_o so_o many_o pledge_n of_o his_o love_n have_v he_o renew_v his_o covenant_n so_o often_o have_v he_o seal_v it_o with_o the_o sacrament_n and_o bind_v it_o with_o a_o oath_n and_o all_o this_o that_o we_o may_v doubt_v whether_o he_o do_v love_v we_o or_o no_o thus_o you_o see_v one_o point_n of_o popery_n ready_a to_o son_n at_o the_o hear_n of_o this_o doctrine_n if_o there_o be_v any_o papist_n here_o that_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o it_o let_v he_o take_v it_o up_o &_o make_v much_o of_o it_o for_o god_n people_n you_o see_v care_v not_o for_o it_o they_o have_v rather_o know_v for_o a_o certainty_n that_o god_n do_v favour_v they_o then_o to_o stand_v in_o doubt_n thereof_o to_o love_n god_n and_o to_o be_v love_v of_o god_n be_v all_o that_o god_n require_v of_o we_o and_o all_o that_o we_o desire_v of_o god_n for_o if_o we_o love_v he_o than_o we_o fear_v he_o we_o worship_v he_o we_o trust_v in_o he_o we_o hear_v he_o we_o obey_v he_o etc._n etc._n if_o he_o love_v we_o than_o he_o provide_v for_o we_o all_o good_a thing_n and_o preserve_v we_o from_o all_o that_o may_v hurt_v we_o etc._n etc._n our_o love_n to_o he_o have_v mark_n and_o so_o have_v he_o to_o us._n god_n do_v not_o love_v we_o and_o keep_v it_o from_o we_o but_o he_o make_v it_o know_v that_o he_o love_v we_o as_o jonathan_n make_v his_o love_n know_v to_o david_n and_o as_o the_o father_n of_o the_o prodigal_a child_n make_v his_o love_n manifest_a to_o his_o son_n when_o his_o affection_n be_v towards_o he_o by_o this_o i_o know_v that_o thou_o favore_a i_o say_v david_n because_o my_o enemy_n have_v ●ot_n triumph_v against_o i_o when_o god_n do_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n or_o any_o trouble_n else_o we_o may_v persuade_v ourselves_o thereby_o that_o he_o have_v a_o favour_n unto_o we_o as_o david_n do_v but_o than_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v if_o god_n do_v love_v his_o church_n why_o do_v he_o suffer_v his_o church_n to_o be_v trouble_v and_o molest_v with_o enemy_n the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o by_o this_o mean_v his_o love_n may_v be_v make_v more_o manifest_a in_o save_v and_o deliver_v they_o for_o as_o a_o sure_a friend_n be_v not_o know_v but_o in_o time_n of_o need_n so_o god_n goodness_n and_o love_n be_v never_o so_o well_o perceive_v as_o it_o be_v in_o help_v of_o we_o when_o we_o can_v help_v ourselves_o as_o adam_n fall_n do_v serve_v to_o manifest_v god_n justice_n &_o mercy_n 23._o the_o one_o in_o punish_v the_o other_o in_o pardon_v of_o sin_n which_o otherwise_o we_o have_v never_o know_v so_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o church_n serve_v to_o manifest_v 1._o our_o desert_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n 2._o our_o weakness_n and_o inability_n to_o help_v ourselves_o and_o 3._o the_o love_a kindness_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n in_o save_v and_o defend_v that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v true_o thankful_a &_o return_v all_o the_o praise_n and_o glory_n to_o god_n and_o none_o to_o ourselves_o so_o that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n may_v have_v enemy_n and_o yet_o be_v still_o the_o belove_a of_o god_n as_o lazarus_n be_v belove_v of_o christ_n although_o he_o be_v sick_a for_o who_o the_o lord_n love_v he_o correct_v and_o therefore_o he_o correctech_v they_o because_o he_o love_v they_o now_o some_o man_n will_v say_v oh_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o be_o in_o prosperity_n and_o i_o live_v well_o out_o of_o all_o danger_n and_o trouble_v and_o i_o want_v nothing_o therefore_o i_o be_o sure_a god_n love_v i_o again_o such_o a_o one_o serve_v god_n well_o i_o warrant_v you_o for_o you_o see_v how_o he_o do_v thrive_v and_o prosper_v in_o the_o world_n he_o be_v come_v up_o of_o northing_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o no_o doubt_n god_n do_v lou●_n he_o this_o be_v the_o corrupt_a judgement_n of_o blind_a worldling_n which_o take_v all_o for_o gold_n that_o gli●stereth_v and_o think_v there_o be_v no_o other_o hea●uen_n but_o earth_n but_o these_o man_n

and_o let_v we_o have_v what_o we_o lust_n for_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o &_o then_o we_o be_v near_o to_o our_o destruction_n for_o as_o the_o ox_n that_o be_v
