that_o the_o grave_a and_o the_o house_n of_o darkness_n be_v far_o off_o from_o they_o again_o in_o the_o three_o place_n young_a man_n be_v not_o break_v by_o affliction_n cross_n the_o fallow_a ground_n be_v not_o pough_v up_o by_o the_o pressure_n of_o affliction_n which_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v great_a mean_n to_o tame_a nature_n and_o to_o subdue_v the_o pride_n of_o it_o

from_o the_o well_n of_o salvation_n he_o will_v drink_v it_o out_o of_o watery_a and_o slimy_a place_n now_o because_o man_n in_o their_o youth_n can_v take_v in_o the_o spiritual_a joy_n of_o that_o

to_o take_v notice_n of_o these_o malady_n and_o spiritual_a disease_n be_v in_o themselves_o the_o first_o degree_n of_o our_o heal_n be_v to_o see_v that_o we_o be_v sick_a and_o till_o then_o

show_v that_o they_o rejoice_v inordinate_o this_o may_v appear_v to_o they_o first_o because_o they_o rejoice_v not_o where_o they_o ought_v they_o solace_n not_o themselves_o in_o god_n in_o who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o joy_n nor_o in_o christ_n jesus_n in_o who_o be_v the_o spring_n of_o joy_n nor_o in_o the_o sacred_a word_n where_o there_o be_v the_o cistern_n of_o joy_n even_o as_o a_o

our_o joy_n and_o any_o other_o affection_n be_v misplace_v when_o they_o be_v not_o set_v upon_o god_n and_o christ._n now_o if_o young_a man_n will_v deal_v upright_o with_o themselves_o they_o

or_o over-gries_a any_o thing_n he_o be_v trouble_v and_o disquiet_v let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v that_o be_v grieve_v not_o for_o thing_n more_o than_o they_o be_v to_o be_v grieve_v for_o and_o fear_v not_o thing_n more_o than_o they_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v for_o all_o these_o will_v disjoint_n the_o soul_n as_o it_o be_v it_o will_v put_v the_o spirit_n to_o much_o pain_n and_o

1._o their_o passion_n and_o affection_n our_o saviour_n christ_n speak_v it_o here_o to_o his_o disciple_n to_o those_o that_o he_o have_v teach_v before_o who_o he_o have_v go_v as_o a_o excellent_a

of_o they_o he_o have_v need_v to_o call_v upon_o they_o to_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o consider_v of_o their_o own_o estate_n that_o their_o heart_n may_v not_o be_v trouble_v you_o may_v see_v the_o malady_n in_o the_o medicine_n every_o prohibition_n in_o the_o word_n suppose_v a_o corruption_n and_o a_o aptness_n in_o the_o natural_a heart_n and_o spirit_n of_o man_n to_o sin_n and_o transgress_v in_o that_o particular_a therefore_o when_o christ_n speak_v to_o his_o disciple_n and_o tell_v they_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v trouble_v it_o show_v that_o even_o the_o best_a man_n be_v subject_a to_o excess_n of_o passion_n and_o affection_n to_o be_v disturb_v and_o trouble_v through_o immoderate_a fear_n or_o grief_n for_o that_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o disciple_n now_o brief_o i_o will_v show_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o and_o come_v to_o the_o application_n because_o i_o will_v hasten_v this_o trouble_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o spirit_n sometime_o of_o the_o best_a man_n it_o arise_v partly_o from_o god_n providence_n and_o hand_n upon_o they_o and_o partly_o from_o satan_n and_o partly_o from_o themselves_o i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o cause_n in_o these_o in_o particular_n and_o then_o apply_v ground_n it_o first_o it_o rise_v many_o time_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n 84._o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o sun_n and_o a_o shield_n the_o lord_n will_v be_v know_v to_o be_v a_o sun_n and_o a_o shield_n to_o his_o people_n now_o look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o earth_n when_o the_o sun_n withdraw_v his_o light_n it_o be_v all_o dark_a and_o cold_a and_o dead_a so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o best_a man_n when_o god_n withdraw_v the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n from_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v as_o the_o earth_n at_o

annoy_v they_o and_o wound_v they_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o the_o soul_n if_o god_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o it_o and_o do_v not_o now_o support_v it_o as_o before_o and_o do_v not_o fence_v and_o strengthen_v it_o as_o at_o other_o time_n the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o satan_n will_v pierce_v deep_a into_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o uphold_v itself_o against_o these_o assault_n now_o god_n withdraw_v himself_o sometime_o from_o his_o servant_n people_n and_o that_o in_o special_a wisdom_n in_o respect_n either_o of_o the_o time_n past_a present_a to_o come_v sometime_o god_n do_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o time_n past_a and_o so_o he_o do_v it_o by_o way_n of_o correction_n first_o to_o correct_v his_o child_n for_o mercy_n their_o former_a wantonness_n they_o have_v abuse_v the_o expression_n of_o love_n and_o now_o as_o a_o father_n take_v away_o the_o light_n from_o his_o child_n when_o he_o see_v he_o make_v no_o better_a use_n of_o it_o then_o to_o play_v with_o it_o so_o god_n sometime_o take_v away_o the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n that_o be_v he_o cast_v cloud_n before_o himself_o he_o do_v not_o

this_o he_o do_v sometime_o as_o a_o correction_n of_o their_o duty_n negligence_n when_o god_n have_v call_v on_o they_o from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o they_o have_v neglect_v call_v on_o god_n he_o have_v call_v upon_o they_o for_o duty_n and_o for_o the_o leave_v of_o such_o particular_a evil_n and_o they_o have_v neglect_v it_o now_o god_n withdraw_v himself_o to_o make_v they_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o do_v so_o and_o because_o they_o will_v not_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o hear_v his_o voice_n when_o he_o call_v he_o will_v make_v they_o feel_v it_o by_o his_o not_o hear_v their_o
