in_o this_o kind_n about_o these_o way_n but_o this_o i_o bring_v it_o for_o when_o the_o poor_a king_n though_o young_a have_v his_o heart_n possess_v with_o this_o principle_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o god_n he_o can_v not_o answer_v the_o bishop_n that_o come_v so_o subtle_o but_o instead_o of_o answer_v their_o reason_n he_o burst_v out_o with_o tear_n and_o

mankind_n the_o dreadful_a give_v of_o the_o law_n his_o dreadful_a judgement_n for_o small_a sin_n and_o example_n of_o his_o wrath_n abroad_o in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o eternal_a torment_n in_o

this_o make_v it_o appear_v there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n of_o evil_a in_o it_o as_o thus_o that_o all_o those_o creature_n viper_n serpent_n dog_n cockatrice_n dragon_n wolf_n all_o

these_o do_v but_o shadow_v out_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n we_o may_v mention_v many_o more_o to_o show_v you_o the_o evil_n of_o sin_n and_o in_o that_o the_o scripture_n make_v use_v of_o so_o many_o evil_a thing_n to_o show_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n this_o show_v sin_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n in_o it_o seven_o as_o god_n infinite_a goodness_n be_v set_v out_o thus_o that_o he_o be_v his_o own_o happiness_n and_o blessedness_n in_o this_o god_n do_v appear_v to_o be_v infinite_o good_a because_o he_o be_v his_o own_o good_a and_o happiness_n there_o be_v no_o high_a good_a to_o

do_v thus_o sin_n the_o lust_n of_o sin_n come_v from_o the_o devil_n and_o it_o make_v a_o man_n or_o a_o woman_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n so_o the_o scripture_n be_v clear_v it_o come_v from_o he_o original_o all_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o you_o be_v original_o the_o spawn_n of_o the_o very_a devil_n himself_o in_o your_o soul_n and_o original_o it_o come_v from_o he_o as_o all_o sin_n original_o come_v from_o his_o temptation_n and_o suggestion_n so_o also_o the_o devil_n help_v forward_o and_o further_v all_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o your_o soul_n this_o be_v the_o evil_a of_o it_o but_o here_o understand_v this_o aright_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o so_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o sin_n as_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o grace_n not_o so_o it_o be_v true_a the_o devil_n have_v a_o hand_n in_o every_o sin_n but_o not_o such_o a_o hand_n in_o sin_n as_o god_n have_v in_o grace_n for_o god_n have_v such_o a_o hand_n in_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v a_o principle_n of_o grace_n but_o all_o the_o operation_n of_o grace_n be_v so_o from_o he_o as_o it_o will_v never_o stir_v but_o by_o he_o he_o give_v the_o will_v to_o work_v and_o do_v all_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n be_v from_o he_o but_o all_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o from_o the_o devil_n though_o original_o it_o be_v and_o the_o devil_n put_v it_o on_o yet_o we_o be_v to_o know_v though_o the_o devil_n now_o shall_v tempt_v no_o more_o yet_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o sin_n against_o god_n all_o manner_n of_o sin_n even_o from_o their_o own_o innate_a corruption_n that_o now_o be_v in_o they_o if_o the_o devil_n be_v destroy_v sin_n will_v not_o be_v destroy_v in_o grace_n there_o be_v no_o power_n to_o work_v but_o by_o god_n work_v together_o with_o it_o but_o in_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o power_n to_o work_v without_o the_o devil_n work_v though_o the_o devil_n be_v forward_o enough_o to_o work_v with_o our_o corruption_n yet_o i_o say_v there_o be_v corruption_n enough_o in_o our_o heart_n for_o to_o work_v all_o kind_n of_o sin_n though_o the_o devil_n shall_v not_o tempt_v we_o any_o more_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o lay_v all_o upon_o the_o devil_n as_o many_o do_v when_o they_o fall_v into_o any_o wickedness_n they_o will_v say_v this_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o lay_v all_o the_o fault_n upon_o the_o devil_n and_o so_o think_v to_o take_v it_o off_o from_o themselves_o by_o lay_v it_o upon_o the_o devil_n no_o know_v though_o the_o devil_n labour_v to_o further_o it_o what_o he_o can_v yet_o there_o be_v such_o corruption_n in_o you_o that_o it_o will_v stream_v forth_o from_o you_o though_o the_o devil_n stir_v it_o not_o at_o all_o therefore_o charge_v your_o own_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n we_o must_v give_v all_o the_o glory_n to_o god_n but_o in_o the_o work_n of_o sin_n we_o can_v allot_v all_o the_o fault_n to_o the_o devil_n we_o be_v not_o to_o take_v any_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n to_o ourselves_o but_o we_o be_v to_o take_v a_o great_a part_n yea_o sometime_o the_o great_a part_n of_o sin_n to_o ourselves_o but_o however_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o sin_n original_o and_o help_v forward_o to_o it_o three_o all_o sin_n be_v the_o furtherance_n of_o the_o

be_v a_o especial_a end_n why_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n for_o to_o bring_v down_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o yet_o thou_o by_o sin_v upholde_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o

direct_o contradict_v thy_o own_o prayer_n when_o thou_o pray_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n thou_o pray_v there_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n may_v come_v but_o in_o every_o way_n of_o sin_n that_o thou_o take_v liberty_n in_o thou_o do_v oppose_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n how_o do_v thou_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a and_o mock_v god_n in_o this_o prayer_n every_o wicked_a man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n mock_v god_n in_o pray_v the_o lord_n prayer_n when_o they_o say_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v and_o yet_o live_v in_o such_o way_n as_o uphold_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n instead_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n 3_o yea_o further_o this_o follow_v that_o by_o go_v on_o in_o way_n of_o sin_n thou_o come_v to_o be_v guilty_a and_o stand_v charge_v for_o all_o the_o sin_n that_o ever_o be_v commit_v in_o the_o world_n this_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o charge_v any_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o now_o live_v in_o way_n of_o sin_n that_o by_o that_o sin_n of_o thou_o that_o thou_o now_o live_v in_o thou_o come_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o the_o sin_n that_o ever_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n i_o undertake_v to_o make_v that_o good_a thus_o you_o know_v the_o scripture_n charge_v those_o that_o persecute_v the_o prophet_n as_o guilty_a of_o all_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o ever_o be_v all_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v from_o abel_n to_o zacharias_n shall_v come_v upon_o this_o generation_n say_v christ_n why_o so_o why_o shall_v all_o the_o blood_n shed_v from_o abel_n to_o that_o time_n come_v upon_o that_o generation_n the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o they_o continue_v the_o succession_n of_o that_o sin_n of_o persecution_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o persecution_n of_o the_o prophet_n before_o so_o they_o go_v on_o and_o uphold_v this_o succession_n of_o that_o sin_n now_o by_o the_o hold_n of_o the_o succession_n of_o a_o way_n of_o sin_n we_o come_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o that_o sin_n that_o go_v before_o as_o for_o example_n suppose_v there_o shall_v be_v treason_n against_o a_o king_n or_o state_n by_o some_o vile_a treasonable_a act_n now_o the_o father_n commit_v the_o first_o act_n the_o son_n afterward_o go_v on_o in_o the_o same_o way_n and_o his_o child_n come_v after_o he_o and_o go_v on_o in_o the_o same_o way_n and_o their_o child_n after_o they_o now_o i_o say_v the_o child_n and_o the_o grandchild_n and_o the_o great_a grandchild_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o first_o treasonable_a act_n that_o be_v commit_v why_o because_o they_o uphold_v the_o succession_n of_o the_o treasonoble_a act_n so_o now_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n be_v to_o bring_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o next_o generation_n uphold_v it_o and_o the_o next_o uphold_v the_o same_o and_o the_o next_o generation_n go_v on_o the_o same_o way_n so_o that_o every_o generation_n be_v not_o only_o guilty_a of_o those_o particular_a sin_n which_o they_o commit_v but_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o that_o go_v before_o because_o they_o uphold_v the_o succession_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o opposition_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o for_o instance_n take_v a_o

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 truth_n of_o god_n have_v god_n settle_v upon_o their_o heart_n more_o than_o before_o if_o they_o can_v give_v no_o further_o account_v of_o no_o other_o light_n let_v into_o they_o than_o before_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 preparative_n matter_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o word_n be_v such_o as_o it_o work_v immediate_o without_o any_o preparation_n therefore_o many_o man_n that_o understand_v as_o little_a of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n as_o ever_o any_o do_v in_o their_o life_n and_o yet_o god_n let_v some_o truth_n reach_v they_o
fuel_n for_o their_o sin_n 2_o when_o it_o give_v man_n further_a liberty_n to_o sin_n 3_o when_o it_o harden_v in_o sin_n we_o be_v yet_o upon_o the_o great_a doctrine_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n show_v that_o there_o be_v more_o evil_a in_o sin_n than_o in_o any_o affliction_n many_o thing_n you_o know_v have_v be_v deliver_v in_o the_o explanatory_a part_n of_o it_o wherein_o i_o have_v

in_o the_o vileness_n of_o it_o we_o have_v begin_v the_o applicatory_a part_n of_o this_o point_n to_o draw_v some_o collection_n by_o way_n of_o use_n from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v concern_v the_o
