begin_v betimes_o if_o we_o look_v to_o our_o after-knowledge_n which_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o conversion_n it_o be_v so_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a and_o there_o be_v so_o much_o ignorance_n in_o so_o many_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n that_o then_o we_o shall_v say_v o_o that_o we_o have_v begin_v soon_o with_o god_n then_o may_v we_o have_v be_v teacher_n of_o other_o whereas_o now_o we_o have_v need_v to_o be_v teach_v the_o very_a principle_n of_o christ_n if_o we_o begin_v at_o the_o first_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n yet_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o work_n so_o long_o in_o this_o

which_o we_o get_v in_o notion_n which_o we_o be_v content_a withal_o and_o seek_v not_o for_o the_o experience_n of_o it_o this_o require_v much_o time_n to_o seek_v after_o the_o experience_n and_o

experience_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o soon_o obtain_v the_o physician_n read_v many_o thing_n and_o they_o seem_v rational_a to_o he_o but_o this_o seem_v not_o enough_o to_o he_o until_o he_o get_v some_o experience_n of_o these_o thing_n till_o he_o have_v make_v trial_n of_o they_o it_o will_v require_v much_o time_n for_o thou_o to_o put_v every_o truth_n so_o to_o the_o

the_o strong_a as_o well_o as_o the_o weak_a have_v need_n of_o thou_o o_o there_o be_v work_n enough_o for_o thou_o to_o do_v among_o the_o saint_n if_o there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o world_n if_o thou_o have_v methusalem_n age_n to_o spend_v and_o see_v jesus_n christ_n have_v so_o much_o

trouble_n 2_o â—_z 3_o endeavour_n first_o observe_v thy_o trouble_n whether_o they_o be_v most_o for_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n or_o the_o apprehension_n of_o wrath_n if_o conscience_n be_v only_o awaken_v that_o eye_n only_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v and_o think_v of_o nothing_o else_o but_o of_o escape_v and_o it_o take_v not_o sin_n into_o consideration_n but_o as_o it_o be_v force_v by_o the_o necessary_a connexion_n betwixt_o that_o and_o judgement_n but_o if_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n be_v wrought_v over_o in_o this_o trouble_n than_o the_o great_a trouble_n be_v because_o of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n as_o it_o dishonour_v god_n and_o as_o it_o hinder_v the_o soul_n from_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v trouble_v at_o the_o presence_n of_o that_o and_o study_n how_o it_o may_v be_v rid_v of_o that_o sin_n be_v a_o heavy_a burden_n to_o a_o sanctify_a will_n but_o wrath_n be_v the_o only_a burden_n to_o a_o entangle_a but_o not_o renew_v conscience_n 2_o observe_v thy_o desire_n what_o do_v they_o run_v out_o most_o after_o christ_n or_o comfort_n peace_n or_o purity_n if_o the_o trouble_n be_v only_o a_o force_a trouble_n from_o conscience_n than_o the_o soul_n do_v ordinary_o look_v no_o far_o than_o the_o present_a trouble_n and_o how_o to_o be_v rid_v of_o that_o it_o be_v peace_n that_o conscience_n look_v after_o but_o if_o the_o will_v be_v move_v that_o must_v have_v something_o else_o beside_o peace_n it_o be_v not_o a_o calm_a wilserve_v the_o turn_n it_o must_v have_v christ_n and_o communion_n with_o he_o or_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v 3_o look_v to_o thy_o endeavour_n when_o be_v they_o strong_a and_o most_o vigorous_a and_o draw_v out_o most_o after_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n in_o thy_o trouble_n or_o in_o thy_o calm_n i_o have_v observe_v some_o that_o when_o they_o have_v be_v under_o trouble_n and_o terror_n of_o conscience_n they_o will_v then_o be_v very_o stir_v and_o seem_v to_o take_v much_o pain_n for_o heaven_n but_o when_o conscience_n be_v a_o little_a quiet_v they_o lay_v aside_o their_o religion_n and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o noise_n of_o it_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o their_o stir_n be_v bare_o from_o conscience_n but_o other_o soul_n who_o will_n be_v wrought_v upon_o as_o well_o as_o their_o conscience_n have_v be_v more_o active_a and_o stir_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o they_o have_v get_v more_o peace_n and_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n and_o there_o be_v a_o clear_a reason_n for_o such_o different_a effect_n from_o their_o quiet_n because_o quiet_a and_o peace_n be_v the_o thing_n which_o the_o inflame_a conscience_n seek_v for_o but_o the_o sanctify_a will_n and_o affection_n seek_v for_o another_o thing_n and_o although_o a_o little_a peace_n may_v satisfy_v conscience_n and_o take_v off_o the_o edge_n of_o it_o this_o will_v set_v a_o edge_n upon_o the_o affection_n that_o which_o calm_v conscience_n quicken_v the_o sanctify_a will_n for_o every_o relish_n that_o it_o have_v of_o grace_n or_o peace_n make_v it_o seek_v for_o more_o try_v yourselves_o by_o these_o thing_n and_o if_o you_o find_v that_o your_o conviction_n be_v accompany_v with_o the_o stir_n of_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n be_v of_o good_a hope_n for_o thy_o day_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o over_o if_o thou_o have_v a_o will_n for_o god_n if_o he_o strive_v and_o you_o grow_v more_o tender_a and_o sensible_a fear_v not_o to_o follow_v thy_o conviction_n and_o to_o lay_v hold_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o suit_n with_o thy_o condition_n let_v former_a conviction_n neglect_v humble_v thou_o but_o let_v they_o not_o discourage_v thou_o but_o withal_o take_v this_o word_n of_o advice_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v conclude_v 1_o take_v heed_n of_o thy_o heart_n lest_o it_o deceive_v thou_o thou_o have_v have_v such_o stir_n which_o do_v look_v like_o a_o work_n of_o grace_n before_o but_o they_o have_v die_v away_o be_v jealous_a of_o these_o lest_o they_o shall_v do_v so_o also_o thou_o know_v how_o subject_a the_o heart_n be_v to_o grow_v cold_a and_o to_o shift_v and_o put_v off_o conviction_n and_o when_o it_o be_v under_o they_o how_o seem_o willing_a it_o be_v to_o convert_v and_o return_v to_o god_n how_o ready_a to_o make_v promise_n and_o vow_n to_o god_n and_o how_o ready_a to_o forsake_v all_o these_o again_o it_o have_v cheat_v thou_o once_o already_o therefore_o watch_v it_o as_o a_o deceitful_a thing_n the_o way_n not_o to_o be_v deceive_v be_v to_o expect_v it_o or_o at_o least_o fear_v it_o 2_o resolve_v to_o take_v the_o more_o pain_n because_o thou_o have_v lose_v so_o many_o precious_a opportunity_n know_v that_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o near_o to_o happiness_n and_o eternal_a life_n then_o other_o man_n thou_o be_v far_o off_o and_o thou_o have_v need_v labour_n to_o redeem_v what_o thou_o have_v lose_v 3_o believe_v not_o satan_n who_o say_v thy_o day_n be_v over_o for_o he_o know_v it_o not_o and_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n from_o the_o beginning_n there_o be_v abundant_o more_o hope_n of_o thou_o who_o lie_v under_o such_o fear_n than_o there_o be_v of_o one_o who_o lie_v and_o life_n in_o sin_n
