intend_v my_o son_n give_v i_o thy_o heart_n 3._o we_o will_v begin_v with_o a_o brief_a paraphrase_n on_o each_o word_n so_o to_o disincumber_v they_o from_o all_o show_n of_o difficulty_n and_o then_o by_o god_n assistance_n shall_v raise_v one_o staple_n doctrine_n prove_v and_o apply_v it_o 4._o give_v not_o sell_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v saleable_a in_o god_n service_n have_v mercenary_a soul_n chief_o aim_v at_o our_o own_o interest_n indeed_o we_o may_v and_o must_v with_o moses_n heb._n 11._o 26_o have_v respect_n unto_o the_o recompense_n of_o reward_n we_o may_v look_v to_o it_o and_o be_v take_v from_o he_o and_o give_v to_o his_o companion_n then_o sure_o god_n will_v not_o hold_v they_o guiltless_a who_o have_v first_o give_v he_o their_o heart_n afterward_o take_v they_o away_o again_o and_o confer_v they_o upon_o the_o world_n and_o wickedness_n 2_o tim._n 4._o 10._o demas_n have_v forsake_v i_o have_v love_v this_o present_a world_n and_o be_v depart_v 1._o come_v we_o now_o to_o confute_v those_o flamme_n which_o the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n common_o suggest_v to_o man_n to_o deter_v they_o or_o at_o the_o least_o to_o detain_v they_o from_o give_v their_o heart_n to_o god_n indeed_o i_o can_v give_v they_o better_a term_n as_o to_o call_v they_o plea_n pretence_n excuse_n but_o flamme_n be_v even_o good_a enough_o to_o express_v they_o 2._o first_o they_o allege_v for_o themselves_o that_o in_o case_n they_o shall_v give_v their_o heart_n to_o god_n they_o must_v present_o take_v a_o final_a farewell_n of_o all_o comfort_n and_o contentment_n in_o this_o world_n hereafter_o say_v they_o we_o must_v expect_v to_o live_v a_o dismal_a dreary_a doleful_a discontent_a disconsolate_a life_n no_o spark_n of_o pleasure_n mirth_n and_o jollity_n but_o a_o lifeless_a heartless_a life_n when_o we_o have_v give_v our_o heart_n unto_o god_n 3._o answer_v i_o know_v not_o whether_o this_o flamme_n have_v more_o of_o folly_n or_o falsehood_n therein_o such_o needless_a fear_n and_o jealousy_n the_o devil_n start_v in_o man_n apprehension_n the_o jew_n be_v afraid_a in_o case_n they_o do_v permit_v our_o saviour_n public_o to_o preach_v among_o they_o john_n 11._o 48._o that_o the_o roman_n will_v come_v and_o take_v away_o from_o they_o both_o the_o place_n and_o nation_n whereas_o indeed_o it_o have_v be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o prevent_v their_o invasion_n see_v the_o put_n of_o christ_n to_o death_n do_v not_o only_o accelerate_v but_o cause_n the_o ruin_n of_o their_o nation_n thus_o man_n suspect_v that_o the_o give_v of_o their_o heart_n to_o god_n will_v mar_v their_o mirth_n and_o destroy_v their_o delight_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v the_o only_a way_n for_o the_o continuance_n increase_n and_o improvement_n thereof_o 4._o true_a it_o be_v it_o will_v retrench_v that_o mockmirth_n which_o end_v in_o mourning_n that_o joy_n not_o to_o be_v rejoice_v in_o it_o will_v defaulk_v those_o exorbitance_n and_o extravagance_n of_o carnal_a pleasure_n wherein_o wicked_a man_n lay_v out_o their_o soul_n but_o the_o tree_n of_o true_a joy_n shall_v thrive_v the_o better_a for_o the_o cut_n off_o of_o these_o sucker_n yea_o which_o be_v more_o a_o soul_n be_v utter_o unacquainted_a with_o virgin_n delibate_v and_o clarify_a joy_n until_o such_o time_n as_o the_o heart_n be_v give_v to_o god_n from_o which_o moment_n all_o true_a joy_n bear_v the_o date_n thereof_o 5._o it_o be_v worth_a our_o observation_n to_o mark_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o old_a translation_n make_v according_o to_o the_o vulgar_a latin_a and_o the_o new_a conform_v to_o the_o original_a in_o the_o render_n of_o the_o eight_o verse_n of_o the_o four_o psalm_n old_a translation_n thou_o haste_v put_v gladness_n in_o my_o heart_n since_o the_o time_n their_o corn_n and_o wine_n and_o oil_n increase_v new_a translation_n thou_o haste_v put_v gladness_n in_o my_o heart_n more_o than_o in_o the_o time_n that_o their_o corn_n and_o their_o wine_n increase_v here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o oil_n to_o bring_v in_o three_o staple_n commodity_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v insert_v in_o the_o vulgar_a without_o any_o warrant_n from_o the_o original_a we_o can_v but_o dislike_v such_o a_o addition_n more_o than_o what_o be_v warrant_v in_o the_o original_a otherwise_o the_o doctrine_n have_v be_v true_a in_o itself_o though_o put_v in_o honey_n balm_n all_o other_o commodity_n which_o that_o land_n do_v afford_v all_o of_o these_o can_v not_o equal_v that_o gladness_n of_o heart_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n put_v into_o a_o christian_n soul_n after_o his_o heart_n be_v free_o give_v to_o god_n service_n 6._o the_o second_o flamme_n if_o we_o give_v our_o heart_n to_o god_n we_o shall_v want_v one_o to_o discharge_v our_o several_a relation_n to_o our_o wife_n child_n friend_n neighbour_n and_o acquaintance_n god_n will_v so_o engross_v and_o monopolise_v our_o heart_n to_o himself_o alone_o we_o shall_v want_v the_o use_n of_o they_o to_o all_o other_o purpose_n and_o intent_n where_o we_o stand_v engage_v 7._o answer_n this_o flamme_n have_v as_o much_o folly_n and_o more_o malice_n than_o the_o former_a give_v thy_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o he_o will_v return_v it_o unto_o thou_o during_o thy_o life_n and_o what_o need_v any_o long_a term_n therewith_o to_o discharge_v thy_o relation_n better_a than_o ever_o before_o a_o heart_n give_v to_o god_n will_v rule_v thy_o pace_n unto_o thy_o wife_n bed_n to_o keep_v thy_o affection_n loyal_a unto_o she_o without_o any_o wander_a in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v so_o give_v to_o god_n that_o it_o be_v still_o keep_v to_o thyself_o

this_o flamme_n come_v from_o a_o hypocrite_n and_o dissembler_n it_o be_v utter_o unworthy_a that_o any_o answer_n shall_v be_v afford_v thereunto_o but_o if_o it_o come_v from_o a_o penitent_a soul_n sad_o sensible_a of_o its_o own_o badness_n as_o in_o charity_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v the_o best_a it_o deserve_v a_o better_a name_n than_o a_o flamme_n yea_o be_v a_o hopeful_a

in_o they_o notorious_a and_o unpardonable_a hypocrisy_n but_o if_o this_o as_o bad_a as_o it_o be_v be_v the_o best_a heart_n they_o have_v they_o may_v yea_o must_v give_v it_o to_o god_n and_o from_o he_o shall_v receive_v the_o same_o in_o a_o new_a edition_n better_v and_o amend_v thy_o obstinate_a heart_n shall_v be_v make_v obedient_a thy_o froward_a heart_n forward_o in_o god_n

sudden_o fall_v into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n but_o one_o hair_n breadth_n betwixt_o he_o and_o hell_n woeful_a the_o soul_n who_o come_v so_o near_o yet_o bless_v the_o soul_n who_o never_o come_v near_a we_o need_v not_o go_v far_o for_o a_o pregnant_a proof_n thereof_o than_o to_o the_o example_n of_o s._n peter_n in_o this_o chapter_n how_o promise-valiant_a be_v he_o never_o to_o forsake_v his_o master_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trial_n how_o base_o do_v he_o behave_v himself_o thus_o every_o one_o can_v conquer_v a_o temptation_n but_o he_o who_o be_v assault_v with_o it_o and_o when_o it_o be_v bring_v home_o to_o our_o heart_n there_o be_v the_o man_n yea_o there_o be_v more_o than_o the_o man_n yea_o there_o must_v be_v a_o god_n to_o assist_v the_o man_n to_o subdue_v and_o overcome_v it_o 2._o but_o as_o the_o sickness_n of_o lazarus_n so_o the_o sin_n of_o saint_n peter_n be_v not_o unto_o death_n but_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n rejoice_v not_o

soul_n and_o be_v so_o short_a that_o it_o need_v no_o division_n only_o to_o avoid_v confusion_n i_o will_v handle_v it_o first_o in_o reference_n to_o saint_n peter_n then_o in_o application_n to_o ourselves_o mean_v time_n let_v none_o be_v offend_v at_o i_o that_o clean_o through_o my_o discourse_n i_o call_v he_o s._n peter_n though_o then_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o misery_n who_o some_o will_v not_o style_v so_o though_o now_o in_o the_o height_n of_o his_o happiness_n sure_o their_o take_n of_o the_o saintship_n from_o those_o in_o heaven_n have_v add_v no_o more_o holiness_n to_o

pertinent_a question_n must_v be_v propound_v &_o answer_v the_o first_o why_o do_v saint_n peter_n take_v on_o so_o heavy_o see_v so_o much_o may_v be_v say_v for_o lessen_v his_o fault_n and_o though_o not_o whole_o to_o excuse_v in_o great_a degree_n to_o extenuate_v his_o offence_n for_o first_o it_o be_v but_o a_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n do_v beside_o yea_o against_o his_o purpose_n and_o intention_n he_o do_v not_o with_o a_o high_a hand_n tempt_v a_o temptation_n but_o alas_o his_o heart_n be_v too_o great_a for_o his_o heart_n his_o will_n to_o promise_v too_o great_a for_o his_o power_n to_o perform_v second_o a_o forcible_a motive_n move_v he_o thereunto_o namely_o fear_v to_o lose_v his_o life_n it_o be_v not_o s._n peter_n but_o s._n peter_n passion_n which_o deny_v his_o master_n or_o rather_o he_o do_v but_o reserve_v himself_o to_o confess_v he_o at_o a_o fit_a opportunity_n three_o as_o the_o spouse_n in_o the_o canticle_n say_v i_o sleep_v but_o my_o heart_n wake_v so_o saint_n peter_n may_v say_v my_o mouth_n renounce_v my_o master_n but_o my_o mind_n do_v retain_v he_o the_o denial_n be_v but_o from_o the_o tooth_n outward_o over_o non_fw-la cord_n last_o the_o lameness_n of_o his_o lie_n may_v be_v hide_v or_o help_v by_o lend_v it_o the_o charitable_a staff_n of_o a_o equivocation_n very_o i_o know_v not_o the_o man_n that_o be_v i_o know_v he_o not_o with_o intent_n to_o tell_v you_o of_o he_o or_o i_o know_v no_o such_o mere_a man_n as_o you_o mean_v for_o my_o master_n be_v both_o god_n and_o man._n 5._o the_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n be_v easy_a for_o s._n peter_n do_v not_o look_v on_o such_o passage_n as_o may_v lessen_v his_o fault_n but_o only_o observe_v such_o circumstance_n as_o tend_v to_o the_o heighten_v extend_v and_o aggravate_v thereof_o as_o for_o equivocation_n that_o sluggish_a piece_n of_o popery_n can_v not_o be_v so_o early_a a_o riser_n as_o to_o be_v up_o in_o the_o church_n in_o the_o twilight_n and_o first_o dawn_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o first_o s._n peter_n do_v consider_v that_o he_o be_v forewarn_v and_o therefore_o shall_v have_v be_v forearm_v he_o can_v not_o plead_v that_o he_o be_v surprise_v on_o a_o sudden_a christ_n have_v give_v he_o before_o a_o caveat_n thereof_o second_o he_o do_v it_o against_o his_o free_a promise_n and_o flat_a protestation_n as_o if_o child_n play_n too_o mean_v for_o man_n be_v good_a enough_o for_o god_n fast_o and_o loose_a bind_v and_o break_v solemn_o say_v one_o thing_n and_o present_o do_v another_o three_o he_o do_v it_o thrice_o once_o may_v be_v impute_v to_o incogitancy_n twice_o ascribe_v to_o infirmity_n but_o thrice_o be_v uncapable_a of_o any_o charitable_a comment_n so_o that_o favour_n itself_o must_v be_v force_v to_o condemn_v it_o for_o a_o wilful_a offence_n last_o it_o be_v not_o a_o bare_a denial_n but_o a_o denial_n emboss_a with_o oath_n and_o embroider_v with_o curse_n such_o be_v the_o concatenation_n betwixt_o one_o sin_n and_o another_o the_o naturalist_n report_v of_o the_o providence_n of_o the_o pismire_n that_o when_o she_o store_v up_o grain_n for_o the_o winter_n she_o bit_v off_o both_o the_o end_n of_o the_o corn_n thereby_o to_o prevent_v the_o grow_a thereof_o but_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o unhappy_a as_o to_o commit_v one_o sin_n o_o let_v we_o with_o speedy_a repentance_n spoil_v the_o procreative_a power_n thereof_o before_o that_o one_o sin_n have_v beget_v another_o for_o how_o quick_o do_v s._n peter_n add_v swear_v to_o lie_v and_o curse_v to_o both_o 6._o thus_o the_o ear_n and_o eye_n of_o s._n peter_n be_v only_o open_a to_o hear_v and_o see_v such_o matter_n as_o most_o make_v against_o he_o learn_v we_o from_o he_o to_o measure_v the_o dimension_n of_o a_o sin_n and_o not_o to_o listen_v to_o what_o flesh_n and_o blood_n may_v prompt_v we_o for_o the_o lessen_v of_o our_o offence_n matter_v it_o not_o then_o though_o we_o can_v measure_v the_o compass_n of_o the_o earth_n take_v the_o height_n of_o the_o heaven_n if_o we_o can_v by_o the_o jacob_n staff_n of_o god_n word_n take_v the_o true_a altitude_n of_o our_o heinous_a transgression_n if_o there_o be_v any_o circumstance_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o extenuate_a of_o our_o fault_n though_o we_o shall_v chance_v to_o lose_v they_o god_n goodness_n will_v find_v they_o and_o if_o we_o shall_v forget_v they_o he_o will_v remember_v they_o let_v we_o look_v serious_o on_o such_o thing_n as_o render_v our_o fault_n the_o foul_a follow_v the_o example_n of_o s._n peter_n in_o my_o text_n look_v upward_o he_o see_v god_n threaten_v downward_o the_o devil_n insult_v within_o he_o his_o conscience_n rage_v without_o he_o good_a man_n mourning_n bad_a man_n mock_v that_o the_o first_o of_o the_o apostle_n s._n peter_n in_o the_o publick'st_a of_o place_n the_o high-priest_n hall_n before_o the_o profane_v of_o person_n the_o high-priest_n servant_n at_o the_o

there_o he_o stop_v but_o there_o he_o stay_v but_o there_o he_o stint_v and_o he_o go_v out_o and_o weep_v bitter_o 7._o the_o second_o question_n here_o to_o be_v demand_v be_v this_o wherein_o consist_v the_o validity_n and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o weep_n of_o s._n peter_n that_o thereby_o he_o obtain_v his_o pardon_n 8._o to_o this_o we_o answer_v first_o negative_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o weep_v do_v not_o consist_v in_o his_o weep_v for_o by_o the_o bare_a deed_n do_v do_v redound_v neither_o good_a to_o he_o nor_o glory_n to_o god_n if_o god_n be_v thirsty_a
