can_v live_v more_o by_o faith_n in_o this_o try_v affliction_n i_o endeavour_v to_o impress_v upon_o my_o soul_n those_o argument_n which_o the_o scripture_n afford_v for_o patience_n and_o long-suffering_a with_o joyfulness_n but_o this_o will_v not_o do_v the_o work_n unless_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n and_o patience_n be_v give_v from_o he_o from_o who_o come_v down_o every_o good_a and_o perfect_a gift_n i_o pray_v i_o cry_v to_o my_o father_n that_o he_o will_v give_v i_o the_o holy_a spirit_n according_a to_o his_o gracious_a promise_n that_o i_o may_v show_v forth_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o dishonour_v he_o nor_o discourage_v his_o child_n nor_o reproach_n religion_n by_o my_o weakness_n and_o in_o my_o bear_n of_o it_o well_o my_o

my_o father_n and_o shall_v i_o not_o honour_v my_o father_n and_o give_v he_o reverence_n when_o i_o be_o chasten_v of_o he_o the_o lord_n be_v my_o portion_n say_v my_o soul_n therefore_o will_v i_o hope_v in_o he_o i_o will_v wait_v for_o the_o lord_n who_o hide_v his_o face_n i_o will_v look_v after_o he_o he_o retain_v not_o his_o anger_n for_o ever_o because_o he_o delight_v in_o mercy_n therefore_o he_o will_v turn_v again_o and_o have_v compassion_n upon_o i_o if_o he_o kill_v i_o i_o will_v put_v my_o trust_n in_o he_o for_o he_o will_v not_o cast_v i_o off_o for_o ever_o if_o i_o cleave_v to_o he_o with_o faith_n unseign_v but_o even_o through_o death_n itself_o will_v he_o save_v i_o he_o will_v bring_v i_o forth_o to_o the_o light_n and_o i_o shall_v behold_v his_o

tempt_v above_o what_o we_o be_v able_a but_o will_v with_o the_o temptation_n open_v a_o way_n for_o we_o to_o escape_v nevertheless_o i_o find_v that_o i_o do_v much_o offend_v by_o too_o great_a a_o vehemence_n of_o desire_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o this_o grievous_a burden_n without_o due_a submission_n also_o by_o too_o much_o disquietness_n and_o dejection_n when_o after_o some_o expectation_n of_o a_o benefit_n by_o that_o mean_n i_o perceive_v that_o my_o hope_n thereof_o be_v like_a to_o be_v frustrate_v the_o lord_n help_v i_o to_o carry_v it_o better_o and_o as_o i_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o keep_v my_o mind_n in_o its_o right_a frame_n my_o business_n under_o this_o affliction_n be_v to_o be_v careful_a about_o my_o own_o part_n and_o to_o leave_v god_n part_n to_o his_o care_n my_o part_n be_v to_o do_v my_o duty_n and_o to_o get_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o affliction_n but_o to_o remove_v it_o be_v god_n part_n let_v i_o perform_v what_o belong_v to_o i_o and_o what_o belong_v to_o god_n he_o will_v certain_o perform_v in_o his_o own_o time_n and_o way_n the_o sum_n of_o my_o duty_n be_v gracious_o to_o comply_v with_o the_o dispensation_n and_o to_o behave_v myself_o suitable_o to_o it_o and_o to_o please_v and_o honour_n god_n under_o it_o according_o in_o this_o i_o labour_v and_o in_o this_o way_n i_o seek_v for_o comfort_n and_o first_o i_o justify_v god_n and_o judge_n myself_o god_n exercise_v his_o own_o holiness_n and_o justice_n in_o this_o castigation_n his_o justice_n and_o holiness_n i_o approve_v and_o accept_v the_o punishment_n of_o my_o iniquity_n and_o exercise_v a_o hatred_n of_o the_o sin_n for_o which_o i_o now_o smart_a i_o will_v bear_v the_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o and_o i_o repent_v with_o a_o self-abhorrence_a and_o i_o lie_v in_o the_o dust_n at_o his_o foot_n and_o wait_v on_o he_o until_o that_o he_o have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o and_o i_o be_o glad_a to_o receive_v mercy_n upon_o his_o term_n i_o have_v flee_v for_o refuge_n to_o lay_v hold_n on_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v set_v before_o i_o i_o do_v most_o hearty_o take_v god_n for_o my_o portion_n and_o i_o have_v rather_o live_v the_o divine_a life_n in_o conformity_n to_o he_o and_o fellowship_n with_o he_o here_o in_o the_o first-fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o hereafter_o in_o the_o fullness_n of_o glory_n than_o live_v in_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o delight_n and_o contentment_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o natural_a life_n upon_o earth_n in_o a_o way_n of_o sin_n and_o allienation_n from_o the_o life_n of_o god_n i_o do_v most_o hearty_o take_v christ_n according_a to_o the_o offer_n of_o the_o gospel_n not_o only_o to_o be_v justify_v from_o my_o sin_n and_o deliver_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v by_o his_o merit_n but_o also_o to_o be_v sanctify_v by_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n and_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o his_o law_n and_o to_o be_v bring_v by_o he_o unto_o the_o aforesaid_a fellowship_n with_o god_n and_o my_o life_n and_o practice_n in_o the_o main_a bent_n and_o ordinary_a course_n thereof_o be_v according_a to_o this_o choice_n in_o a_o daily_a walking_z not_o by_o sight_n and_o sense_n but_o by_o faith_n not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n in_o set_v my_o heart_n not_o on_o earthly_a but_o on_o heavenly_a thing_n i_o cast_v off_o vain_a desire_n and_o hope_n and_o my_o expectation_n of_o good_a be_v from_o god_n according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o his_o promise_n when_o i_o walk_v in_o darkness_n and_o see_v no_o light_n of_o outward_a comfort_n humane_a help_n and_o visible_a mean_n i_o will_v trust_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o stay_v myself_o upon_o my_o god_n i_o strive_v with_o

in_o this_o present_a distress_n i_o look_v upon_o myself_o as_o be_v upon_o my_o trial_n and_o therefore_o i_o look_v more_o diligent_o to_o my_o behaviour_n in_o it_o now_o a_o price_n be_v put_v
