soul_n after_o god_n security_n do_v again_o patience_n make_v the_o soul_n more_o cautious_a of_o its_o walking_n to_o take_v heed_n of_o offend_a god_n security_n do_v not_o let_v a_o man_n therefore_o in_o his_o wait_a seek_v for_o a_o holy_a restlessness_n of_o soul_n after_o god_n i_o find_v it_o in_o my_o practice_n hard_a to_o distinguish_v betwixt_o these_o two_o case_n 1650._o xxxv_o man_n go_v to_o ordinance_n as_o read_v hear_v pray_v etc._n etc._n and_o meet_v not_o god_n in_o they_o the_o reason_n of_o which_o distemper_n be_v 1._o because_o of_o the_o distraction_n of_o their_o thought_n in_o they_o and_o that_o arise_v from_o the_o temper_n or_o rather_o distemper_v of_o the_o soul_n exercise_v in_o thought_n of_o those_o thing_n before_o they_o go_v which_o in_o ordinance_n do_v distract_v they_o as_o for_o instance_n perhaps_o a_o man_n study_n or_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n and_o his_o thought_n of_o they_o distract_v he_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o have_v be_v think_v of_o these_o thing_n either_o immediate_o before_o he_o come_v or_o else_o his_o heart_n be_v too_o much_o carry_v out_o in_o the_o weekday_n after_o they_o 2_o thy_o heart_n be_v

because_o thou_o wente_v not_o with_o a_o open_a mouth_n and_o a_o hungry_a soul_n to_o the_o ordinance_n that_o be_v another_o reason_n why_o thou_o be_v neither_o fill_v nor_o be_v satisfy_v with_o divine_a consolation_n few_o have_v go_v to_o hear_v with_o a_o full_a intent_n to_o hear_v what_o god_n will_v speak_v to_o they_o there_o and_o so_o have_v come_v away_o empty_a it_o be_v ordinary_a for_o saint_n in_o a_o weak_a and_o low_a estate_n to_o put_v up_o petition_n to_o god_n as_o low_a as_o they_o themselves_o they_o think_v it_o presumption_n to_o ask_v the_o great_a thing_n promise_v as_o adoption_n assurance_n etc._n etc._n and_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v they_o do_v well_o in_o it_o then_o doubtless_o this_o come_v from_o a_o unbelieving_a heart_n which_o will_v seal_v the_o fountain_n which_o god_n have_v open_v and_o close_o those_o arm_n which_o god_n have_v spread_v open_a to_o receive_v sinner_n and_o to_o cover_v the_o breast_n of_o consolation_n with_o a_o vail_n of_o modesty_n which_o god_n take_v not_o well_o at_o our_o hand_n many_o saint_n will_v complain_v of_o their_o hardness_n of_o heart_n listlesness_n to_o pray_v read_v hear_v and_o this_o be_v the_o burden_n which_o they_o lie_v under_o now_o if_o i_o be_v to_o advise_v such_o a_o soul_n it_o will_v be_v thus_o let_v he_o cast_v all_o these_o distemper_n of_o soul_n upon_o his_o own_o self_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o they_o let_v he_o reflect_v upon_o his_o conversation_n have_v he_o walk_v close_o with_o god_n or_o have_v he_o not_o give_v way_n to_o looseness_n either_o in_o his_o carriage_n he_o have_v be_v too_o light_a or_o in_o his_o tongue_n too_o vain_a if_o he_o say_v he_o have_v set_v a_o watch_n over_o himself_o and_o resolve_v to_o walk_v more_o strict_o and_o yet_o have_v fall_v ans_fw-fr but_o do_v thou_o not_o first_o let_v fall_v thy_o watch_n and_o then_o fall_v into_o sin_n or_o be_v thou_o not_o conscious_a to_o thyself_o that_o thou_o can_v walk_v more_o strict_o if_o thou_o will_v thou_o own_o thought_n shall_v condemn_v thou_o thy_o conscience_n tell_v thou_o thou_o may_v pray_v more_o if_o thou_o will_v thou_o may_v read_v more_o and_o meditate_v more_o on_o what_o thou_o read_v and_o pray_v more_o over_o what_o thou_o meditate_v if_o thou_o will_v o_o man_n thy_o judgement_n herein_o be_v just_a xxxvi_o it_o be_v a_o general_a complaint_n of_o saint_n that_o they_o can_v get_v up_o their_o heart_n as_o to_o mourning_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o and_o for_o answer_n this_o may_v cast_v down_o many_o a_o poor_a saint_n but_o i_o will_v have_v such_o a_o one_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o temper_n his_o soul_n be_v as_o to_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o if_o he_o find_v his_o heart_n hard_o and_o not_o able_a to_o mourn_v for_o his_o own_o sin_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o it_o mourn_v not_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o so_o then_o i_o will_v have_v thy_o soul_n in_o this_o case_n as_o thou_o will_v in_o the_o other_o now_o as_o for_o thy_o own_o sin_n thou_o can_v satisfy_v thyself_o as_o to_o this_o case_n that_o thou_o can_v remember_v god_n have_v draw_v thou_o out_o in_o a_o melt_a frame_n for_o they_o so_o then_o think_v thou_o whether_o at_o any_o time_n when_o thou_o have_v be_v in_o a_o humble_a melt_a temper_n thou_o can_v then_o mourn_v for_o other_o sin_n but_o withal_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o that_o a_o mourn_a temper_n for_o other_o sin_n be_v a_o high_a attainment_n therefore_o pray_v thou_o for_o it_o that_o thou_o may_v continual_o be_v in_o such_o a_o temper_n and_o that_o upon_o this_o account_n because_o thy_o god_n thy_o father_n be_v dishonour_v by_o their_o sin_n labour_n for_o a_o tender_a regard_n to_o god_n glory_n and_o as_o to_o mourn_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o so_o it_o be_v hard_o in_o pray_v for_o another_o saint_n if_o one_o hear_v that_o soul_n have_v receive_v that_o which_o he_o pray_v for_o to_o believe_v that_o his_o prayer_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o his_o deliverance_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o can_v find_v his_o heart_n carry_v out_o in_o praise_n to_o god_n for_o the_o deliverance_n of_o that_o soul_n let_v such_o a_o soul_n take_v up_o only_o this_o consideration_n and_o know_v that_o his_o prayer_n have_v as_o much_o influence_n upon_o another_o as_o upon_o himself_o and_o so_o let_v he_o resolve_v himself_o but_o in_o our_o pray_n for_o mortification_n or_o comfort_n in_o our_o soul_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o miscarry_v in_o determine_v god_n time_n in_o our_o soul_n for_o the_o give_v of_o it_o as_o for_o instance_n suppose_v i_o pray_v for_o strength_n against_o my_o passion_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o determine_v god_n time_n to_o the_o next_o time_n i_o have_v a_o offer_n to_o my_o passion_n and_o this_o occasion_n great_a dejection_n to_o some_o who_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o god_n do_v not_o hear_v neither_o do_v christ_n intercede_v nor_o the_o spirit_n help_v in_o that_o prayer_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o advice_n i_o will_v give_v to_o all_o saint_n in_o this_o case_n let_v they_o pray_v for_o that_o which_o they_o want_v but_o be_v sure_o let_v they_o withal_o adjoyn_v patient_a wait_v upon_o god_n to_o the_o give_v in_o of_o a_o answer_n or_o thus_o i_o will_v have_v a_o man_n be_v resolve_v that_o god_n will_v give_v in_o a_o answer_n but_o let_v he_o be_v undetermined_a as_o to_o the_o time_n it_o be_v very_o difficult_a for_o a_o soul_n that_o have_v be_v pray_v againstany_n particular_a corruption_n and_o that_o for_o a_o long_a while_n and_o yet_o find_v his_o corruption_n to_o overcome_v he_o or_o to_o get_v head_n to_o persuade_v himself_o that_o god_n have_v hear_v his_o prayer_n and_o that_o christ_n intercede_v for_o those_o prayer_n yet_o thou_o may_v know_v whether_o christ_n intercede_v for_o thou_o in_o those_o prayer_n first_o if_o thou_o be_v carry_v out_o in_o thy_o dependence_n upon_o god_n notwithstanding_o these_o prayer_n be_v not_o answer_v direct_o as_o to_o the_o conquest_n of_o thy_o particular_a corruption_n thus_o he_o deal_v with_o peter_n say_v christ_n i_o have_v pray_v that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v thou_o not_o and_o that_o the_o prick_n in_o paul_n flesh_n be_v not_o quick_o take_v away_o yet_o he_o have_v a_o answer_n god_n grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o he_o second_o if_o he_o keep_v up_o thy_o heart_n in_o a_o continual_a pray_v against_o this_o corruption_n for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o every_o breathe_n of_o the_o soul_n after_o mortification_n be_v purchase_v of_o the_o father_n by_o the_o death_n and_o intercession_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n three_o if_o god_n answer_v thou_o as_o to_o the_o mortification_n of_o any_o corruption_n though_o not_o in_o that_o which_o thou_o pray_v against_o in_o particular_a suppose_v thou_o prayed'_v against_o anger_n or_o pride_n perhaps_o god_n will_v answer_v thou_o in_o deadn_v thy_o heart_n to_o the_o world_n and_o by_o these_o sign_n
