affliction_n be_v sanctify_v by_o god_n to_o do_v good_a therefore_o sin_n be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o affliction_n sin_n be_v so_o evil_a that_o it_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o work_n of_o

of_o the_o infinite_a eternal_a glorious_a god_n and_o be_v there_o not_o evil_a in_o this_o though_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o do_v not_o on_o purpose_n do_v so_o set_v thy_o will_n against_o god_n

but_o how_o be_v this_o in_o every_o sin_n it_o may_v be_v in_o some_o great_a and_o notorious_a sin_n this_o may_v be_v but_o be_v this_o fight_v against_o god_n strive_v and_o rise_v and_o walk_v contrary_n to_o he_o and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n be_v this_o in_o every_o sin_n answ_n for_o that_o i_o answer_v 1_o that_o every_o sin_n come_v from_o the_o same_o root_n and_o look_v what_o venom_n there_o be_v in_o any_o one_o sin_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o it_o be_v in_o every_o sin_n though_o not_o for_o its_o degree_n it_o be_v true_a one_o sin_n may_v have_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o evil_n in_o it_o than_o another_o but_o every_o sin_n be_v invenome_v with_o the_o same_o evil_n that_o which_o be_v the_o venom_n of_o any_o one_o sin_n be_v the_o venom_n of_o all_o all_o come_v from_o the_o same_o root_n as_o in_o a_o tree_n there_o be_v more_o sap_n in_o a_o arm_n of_o the_o tree_n than_o in_o a_o little_a sprig_n but_o the_o sprig_n have_v the_o same_o sap_n for_o kind_n that_o the_o arm_n of_o the_o tree_n have_v and_o it_o all_o come_v from_o the_o same_o root_n so_o though_o there_o be_v more_o venom_n in_o some_o gross_a cry_v sin_n than_o in_o some_o other_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o have_v the_o same_o sap_n and_o the_o same_o venom_n for_o the_o kind_n that_o every_o sin_n have_v that_o the_o worst_a sin_n have_v 2_o yea_o consider_v further_o that_o god_n do_v not_o account_v sin_n only_o according_a to_o man_n intention_n in_o sin_v what_o man_n intend_v but_o what_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sin_n tend_v unto_o not_o what_o i_o do_v

how_o god_n may_v lay_v grievous_a sin_n to_o their_o charge_n and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o account_n of_o a_o man_n sin_n according_a to_o his_o intention_n but_o according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o sin_n as_o now_o you_o will_v think_v it_o a_o strange_a sin_n to_o charge_v any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n with_o hate_v of_o god_n come_v to_o any_o man_n though_o

way_n be_v that_o god_n in_o all_o thy_o life_n thou_o have_v walk_v quite_o cross_a unto_o in_o all_o thy_o life_n i_o say_v it_o will_v have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o power_n in_o it_o to_o humble_v

this_o branch_n how_o sin_n be_v opposite_a to_o god_n sin_n wrong_v god_n and_o sin_n be_v a_o strike_n at_o god_n but_o because_o the_o four_o be_v short_a than_o the_o three_o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o four_o and_o make_v the_o three_o last_o i_o say_v before_o sin_n be_v continual_o work_v against_o god_n but_o now_o i_o say_v chap._n x._o sin_n be_v a_o strike_n against_o god_n 1_o the_o sinner_n wish_v god_n be_v not_o so_o holy_a etc._n etc._n 2_o it_o seek_v the_o destruction_n of_o god_n also_o sin_n be_v a_o wrong_v of_o god_n three_o sin_n be_v a_o strike_n against_o god_n i_o tell_v you_o sin_n be_v a_o oppose_a of_o god_n and_o all_o his_o way_n but_o now_o i_o say_v sin_n be_v a_o strike_n at_o god_n at_o the_o very_a life_n of_o god_n a_o man_n may_v fight_v with_o

of_o man_n may_v by_o their_o sin_n strike_v through_o god_n himself_o so_o strike_v at_o god_n observe_v it_o as_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o thy_o sin_n thou_o do_v wish_v god_n may_v cease_v

6._o trouble_v of_o conscience_n can_v be_v cure_v the_o way_n melancholy_a may_v first_o melancholy_a it_o be_v many_o time_n in_o man_n and_o woman_n where_o there_o be_v most_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o god_n and_o of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o their_o eternal_a estate_n it_o may_v consist_v with_o gross_a ignorance_n many_o melancholy_a people_n be_v most_o ignorant_a and_o sottish_a and_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n can_v never_o come_v without_o some_o new_a light_n of_o god_n dart_v in_o and_o settle_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n it_o come_v always_o with_o some_o enlighten_v work_n of_o the_o spirit_n melancholy_n be_v many_o time_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o darkness_n within_o the_o mind_n be_v dark_a where_o melancholy_a prevail_v and_o many_o time_n gross_a ignorance_n but_o never_o any_o true_a trouble_n of_o conscience_n but_o god_n come_v in_o with_o some_o light_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v trouble_v and_o say_v it_o be_v for_o sin_n i_o put_v this_o to_o you_o what_o have_v god_n discover_v to_o you_o now_o more_o than_o before_o what_o

or_o further_a truth_n let_v in_o upon_o their_o heart_n than_o before_o then_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v suspect_v not_o to_o be_v trouble_n for_o sin_n as_o many_o melancholy_a people_n have_v the_o name_n of_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n and_o they_o have_v fear_n of_o hell_n because_o of_o dark_a thought_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o the_o soul_n except_o it_o be_v with_o convincement_n of_o some_o new_a light_n or_o settle_v some_o truth_n more_o upon_o the_o soul_n than_o before_o second_o melancholliness_n come_v by_o degree_n upon_o man_n and_o woman_n alteration_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o sudden_a thing_n the_o temper_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n body_n can_v sudden_o be_v alter_v to_o any_o extremity_n but_o gradual_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n come_v many_o time_n as_o a_o flash_n of_o lightning_n from_o heaven_n many_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v come_v to_o the_o congregation_n with_o scornful_a spirit_n profane_a wicked_a and_o ungodly_a never_o know_v what_o sin_n mean_v nor_o trouble_v for_o sin_n mean_v and_o god_n have_v meet_v with_o they_o in_o the_o word_n and_o fasten_v some_o sentence_n upon_o their_o heart_n so_o that_o they_o fall_v down_o under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o that_o come_v just_a as_o a_o arrow_n strike_v into_o their_o liver_n and_o they_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o it_o &_o have_v go_v away_o with_o horror_n of_o soul_n and_o therefore_o this_o have_v not_o be_v melancholliness_n certain_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n never_o so_o sudden_o alter_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o work_v when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o bondage_n come_v to_o work_v it_o need_v no_o matter_n before_o no_o

give_v no_o account_n of_o it_o at_o all_o yea_o their_o trouble_n be_v beyond_o their_o ground_n the_o ground_n that_o they_o be_v trouble_v about_o be_v very_o confuse_v that_o they_o understand_v they_o not_o themselves_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o distinct_a and_o there_o the_o soul_n see_v ground_n for_o the_o trouble_n beyond_o the_o trouble_n as_o in_o melancholy_a the_o trouble_n be_v beyond_o the_o ground_n of_o trouble_n so_o in_o affliction_n of_o conscience_n the_o ground_n be_v beyond_o all_o trouble_n i_o be_o trouble_v indeed_o but_o i_o see_v cause_n to_o be_v trouble_v more_o and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o many_o man_n trouble_n that_o they_o can_v be_v trouble_v no_o more_o a_o four_o difference_n be_v this_o the_o more_o melancholy_a there_o be_v in_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n the_o less_o able_a be_v they_o to_o bear_v any_o outward_a affliction_n that_o befall_v they_o but_o the_o more_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n the_o more_o able_a shall_v they_o be_v to_o bear_v affliction_n that_o befall_v they_o those_o who_o feel_v the_o trouble_n of_o sin_n heavy_a do_v account_v all_o other_o affliction_n light_a but_o melancholy_a people_n do_v feel_v all_o affliction_n heavy_a they_o can_v bear_v the_o least_o cross_n their_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o sink_v upon_o any_o thing_n and_o the_o more_o melancholy_a increase_v the_o more_o weak_a be_v their_o spirit_n and_o the_o less_o able_a to_o bear_v any_o cross_n but_o now_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n the_o more_o sin_n and_o the_o heavy_a the_o butthen_n of_o sin_n lie_v upon_o the_o soul_n the_o more_o slight_a thought_n have_v the_o soul_n of_o outward_a cross_n alas_o it_o may_v be_v he_o hear_v of_o some_o that_o have_v some_o grievous_a disease_n in_o their_o body_n oh_o say_v he_o that_o be_v trouble_v in_o conscience_n oh_o if_o it_o be_v no_o worse_o with_o i_o than_o so_o it_o be_v but_o a_o flea_n bite_v but_o it_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o matter_n if_o god_n will_v change_v my_o trouble_n i_o can_v easy_o bear_v that_o as_o francis_n spira_n have_v this_o expression_n oh_o say_v he_o be_v i_o but_o release_v and_o set_v free_a as_o before_z from_o trouble_n of_o spirit_n my_o think_v i_o can_v scorn_v all_o the_o threaten_n of_o cruel_a tyrant_n and_o with_o undaunted_a resolution_n bear_v all_o torment_n so_o that_o the_o height_n of_o this_o trouble_n make_v the_o other_o less_o it_o be_v a_o good_a speech_n of_o a_o reverend_a divine_a of_o our_o time_n when_o he_o hear_v any_o impatient_a under_o affliction_n he_o use_v to_o say_v thus_o sure_o the_o reason_n why_o affliction_n be_v heavy_a upon_o you_o be_v because_o sin_n be_v light_a those_o that_o be_v impatient_a under_o affliction_n it_o be_v assign_v sin_n be_v light_a because_o affliction_n be_v heavy_a trouble_n of_o conscience_n will_v make_v all_o affliction_n light_a melancholy_a will_v not_o five_o a_o principal_a difference_n above_o all_o that_o have_v be_v name_v be_v this_o melancholy_a do_v mighty_o dull_a the_o spirit_n of_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n wheresoever_o it_o prevail_v it_o make_v they_o heavy_a and_o dull_a and_o unapt_a but_o now_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n it_o put_v a_o mighty_a quickness_n in_o man_n it_o put_v a_o activity_n another_o manner_n of_o activity_n and_o stir_v in_o the_o spirit_n than_o ever_o be_v before_o you_o shall_v have_v many_o man_n and_o woman_n sit_v dull_o under_o a_o minister_n many_o year_n under_o the_o word_n and_o never_o act_v but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o stir_v and_o awaken_v conscience_n for_o sin_n their_o spirit_n be_v active_a and_o stir_v then_o in_o another_o manner_n than_o they_o be_v before_o whereas_o poor_a people_n overwhelm_v with_o melancholy_a they_o sit_v mope_v and_o heavy_a and_o dull_a and_o lumpish_a and_o no_o activity_n of_o spirit_n at_o all_o but_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n be_v as_o fire_v in_o his_o bone_n as_o jeremiah_n say_v he_o will_v speak_v no_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v as_o fire_n in_o his_o bone_n and_o make_v he_o active_a and_o stir_a so_o trouble_v in_o conscience_n make_v they_o active_a and_o stir_a now_o they_o can_v pray_v they_o can_v not_o pray_v before_o now_o they_o be_v active_a and_o work_v as_o act_n 9_o when_o god_n trouble_v paul_n the_o text_n say_v behold_v paul_n pray_v go_v say_v the_o lord_n to_o annanias_n to_o saul_n behold_v he_o pray_v as_o if_o paul_n never_o pray_v in_o all_o his_o life_n before_o certain_o you_o that_o can_v pray_v that_o never_o pray_v but_o read_v a_o prayer_n or_o prayer_n your_o mother_n teach_v you_o you_o can_v pray_v but_o if_o ever_o god_n trouble_v your_o conscience_n for_o sin_n than_o you_o will_v pray_v as_o if_o you_o be_v in_o heaven_n oh_o mighty_a prayer_n then_o oh_o for_o christ_n oh_o pardon_v of_o sin_n and_o peace_n then_o there_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o act_v and_o stir_v of_o his_o spirit_n in_o prayer_n than_o ever_o be_v before_o but_o melancholliness_n will_v not_o do_v it_o but_o make_v a_o man_n heavy_a and_o dull_a in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o prayer_n there_o be_v a_o notable_a example_n of_o the_o act_n of_o spirit_n in_o trouble_n that_o come_v from_o sin_n whereas_o the_o other_o make_v they_o dull_a it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o book_n of_o ezra_n chap._n 9_o vers_fw-la 3._o and_o 5._o verse_n 3._o and_o when_o i_o hear_v this_o thing_n i_o rend_v my_o
