city_n &_o country_n be_v defile_v with_o these_o vice_n procure_v so_o far_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v a_o evil_a end_n to_o their_o own_o soul_n it_o be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n to_o fall_v into_o

judgement_n when_o the_o lord_n threaten_v the_o pharisy_n that_o they_o shall_v perish_v in_o their_o sin_n if_o the_o word_n which_o be_v now_o sound_v may_v have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v call_v

of_o the_o great_a part_n and_o to_o seal_v up_o their_o judgement_n against_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n wrath_n which_o day_n they_o have_v blot_v out_o of_o their_o mind_n and_o put_v out_o of_o

there_o be_v a_o hell_n that_o see_v the_o danger_n we_o may_v press_v to_o eschew_v it_o and_o see_v the_o felicity_n we_o may_v haste_v we_o to_o embrace_v it_o will_v god_n it_o be_v so_o thus_o far_o for_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o similitude_n he_o go_v forward_a and_o he_o say_v he_o have_v cut_v he_o off_o from_o his_o beam_n or_o from_o the_o throomb_n that_o go_v about_o the_o

he_o ascribe_v the_o cut_n off_o to_o god_n but_o he_o take_v the_o cause_n to_o himself_o he_o ascribe_v the_o chastisement_n to_o god_n but_o he_o take_v the_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o chastisement_n to_o himself_o and_o he_o acknowledge_v god_n to_o have_v his_o beginning_n in_o this_o work_n and_o himself_o to_o have_v his_o hand_n in_o it_o also_o he_o acknowledge_v god_n to_o be_v a_o doer_n as_o in_o all_o work_v god_n have_v his_o work_n and_o there_o be_v no_o work_n so_o abominable_a as_o it_o flow_v from_o the_o instrument_n but_o as_o it_o flow_v from_o god_n it_o be_v both_o holy_a and_o just_a so_o this_o wise_a king_n take_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o chastisement_n from_o god_n to_o himself_o happy_a be_v he_o that_o in_o time_n condemn_v and_o judge_v

he_o utter_v the_o vehemency_n of_o his_o disease_n in_o the_o word_n follow_v and_o he_o speak_v as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v after_o this_o manner_n if_o god_n hold_v on_o as_o he_o begin_v by_o

the_o terrible_a disease_n of_o the_o body_n except_v utter_v more_o for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o so_o good_a a_o king_n can_v have_v speak_v so_o of_o god_n except_o he_o have_v feel_v some_o other_o thing_n then_o any_o distress_n in_o his_o body_n so_o in_o utter_v of_o these_o voice_n he_o let_v we_o see_v that_o he_o have_v the_o pain_n of_o soul_n and_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n join_v with_o the_o disease_n of_o his_o body_n and_o that_o he_o feel_v god_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o he_o can_v have_v utter_v such_o voice_n of_o god_n as_o to_o call_v he_o a_o devour_a lion_n except_o he_o feel_v another_o kind_n of_o fever_n than_o any_o natural_a fever_n you_o see_v david_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o

no_o question_n the_o disease_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o conscience_n be_v the_o great_a and_o of_o all_o the_o disease_n and_o trouble_n that_o overtake_v the_o conscience_n no_o question_n this_o be_v the_o great_a when_o with_o the_o sight_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v enough_o and_o more_o then_o enough_o for_o any_o to_o sustain_v when_o with_o this_o sight_n there_o be_v a_o feel_n of_o the_o

if_o the_o horror_n be_v not_o exceed_v great_a and_o terrible_a so_o t●at_v it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a matter_n that_o the_o soul_n can_v stand_v upon_o any_o assurance_n of_o faith_n but_o it_o shall_v incontinent_o run_v to_o desperation_n yet_o it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a servant_n of_o god_n but_o he_o have_v have_v experience_n of_o this_o either_o less_o or_o more_o and_o he_o have_v be_v touch_v with_o the_o feel_n of_o that_o hell_n which_o the_o reprobate_n shall_v have_v in_o a_o full_a measure_n the_o end_n why_o the_o lord_n suffer_v his_o dear_a child_n to_o be_v in_o such_o extremity_n soul_n be_v these_o to_o let_v they_o see_v express_o what_o christ_n have_v suffer_v while_o as_o he_o suffer_v the_o full_a weight_n of_o his_o father_n wrath_n inflame_v against_o their_o sin_n and_o not_o only_o against_o their_o sin_n but_o also_o against_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a he_o cast_v they_o i_o say_v into_o this_o extremity_n to_o let_v they_o see_v what_o christ_n have_v suffer_v for_o they_o how_o far_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o christ_n and_o how_o precious_a that_o redemption_n purchase_v by_o his_o

possible_a for_o you_o to_o make_v much_o of_o heaven_n except_o you_o have_v have_v some_o taste_n of_o hell_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o he_o send_v his_o servant_n to_o heaven_n even_o by_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n to_o let_v they_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o connivance_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n for_o it_o may_v have_v be_v think_v as_o many_o of_o the_o wicked_a think_v that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o connivance_n between_o god_n the_o father_n and_o his_o son_n christ_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v he_o let_v they_o taste_v of_o these_o distraction_n and_o

that_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o country_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v a_o great_a birth_n of_o iniquity_n both_o in_o hie-land_n &_o low-land_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o it_o can_v be_v heavy_a load_v with_o mischief_n in_o all_o corner_n than_o it_o be_v now_o yea_o the_o ground_n must_v be_v disburden_v of_o this_o iniquity_n where_o the_o lieutenant_n who_o god_n have_v place_v oversee_v it_o and_o will_v not_o disburden_v the_o earth_n of_o her_o birth_n where_o the_o magistrate_n that_o be_v inferior_n neglect_v their_o duty_n of_o necessity_n he_o must_v extraordinary_o from_o the_o

and_o there_o be_v so_o many_o confusion_n leave_v unovertaken_v by_o the_o magistrate_n that_o it_o appear_v clear_o ●he_v judge_n himself_o must_v needs_o come_v and_o that_o the_o judge_n of_o

if_o the_o ethnik_n may_v say_v justly_o that_o the_o labyrinth_n &_o deceit_n of_o the_o hart_n of_o man_n be_v infinite_a how_o much_o more_o may_v we_o speak_v it_o have_v jerem._n his_o warrant_n

because_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n have_v his_o eye_n continual_o upon_o the_o conscience_n the_o eye_n of_o god_n be_v never_o from_o the_o conscience_n and_o heart_n of_o man_n as_o i_o prove_v to_o you_o by_o diverse_a place_n next_o because_o this_o god_n have_v choose_v his_o lodging_n and_o have_v set_v down_o his_o throne_n to_o make_v his_o residence_n in_o the_o conscience_n therefore_o that_o he_o may_v dwell_v in_o cleanness_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o his_o dwell_a place_n three_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n yea_o the_o only_a lord_n of_o this_o

thou_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n to_o thy_o conscience_n and_o last_o of_o all_o in_o respect_n that_o the_o health_n of_o thy_o soul_n stand_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o thy_o conscience_n and_o if_o

of_o you_o shall_v careful_o look_v to_o your_o conscience_n i_o will_v not_o amplify_v this_o but_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o memory_n how_o the_o health_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o

and_o as_o you_o may_v remember_v i_o set_v down_o two_o point_n wherein_o you_o ought_v to_o put_v your_o conscience_n in_o trial_n first_o to_o know_v whether_o your_o conscience_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n or_o not_o second_o whether_o your_o conscience_n be_v in_o love_n and_o charity_n and_o in_o amity_n with_o your_o neighbour_n or_o not_o in_o these_o two_o point_n chief_o you_o must_v try_v and_o examine_v yourselves_o to_o know_v whether_o you_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n or_o not_o you_o must_v first_o try_v whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n or_o not_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n or_o not_o for_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o justify_v thereby_o of_o necessity_n you_o must_v have_v peace_n with_o god_n then_o the_o next_o care_n must_v be_v to_o try_v your_o faith_n and_o to_o see_v whether_o you_o have_v faith_n or_o not_o faith_n can_v no_o way_n be_v try_v but_o by_o the_o fruit_n faith_n can_v be_v judge_v of_o by_o i_o that_o look_v upon_o it_o only_o but_o by_o the_o effect_n therefore_o to_o try_v whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n or_o not_o mark_v the_o fruit_n take_v heed_n to_o thy_o mouth_n take_v heed_n to_o thy_o hand_n take_v heed_n to_o thy_o word_n and_o to_o thy_o deed_n for_o except_o thou_o glorify_v god_n in_o thy_o mouth_n &_o confess_v to_o thy_o salvation_n and_o except_o thou_o glorify_v he_o also_o in_o thy_o deed_n and_o make_v thy_o holy_a life_n a_o witness_n of_o thy_o holy_a faith_n all_o be_v but_o vain_a all_o be_v but_o mere_a hypocrisy_n know_v therefore_o to_o know_v the_o sincerity_n of_o thy_o faith_n thou_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o there_o be_v a_o harmony_n between_o thy_o hand_n thy_o mouth_n and_o thy_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a consent_n that_o thy_o do_n prejudge_v not_o thy_o heart_n that_o thy_o mouth_n prejudge_v not_o thy_o heart_n but_o that_o mouth_n and_o hand_n may_v testify_v the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o heart_n if_o the_o heart_n the_o hand_n and_o the_o mouth_n consent_n and_o agree_v in_o one_o harmony_n together_o no_o question_n that_o heart_n that_o break_v forth_o into_o so_o good_a fruit_n be_v couple_v with_o god_n there_o be_v no_o question_n the_o light_n of_o thy_o action_n the_o beam_n &_o shine_v of_o thy_o life_n shall_v make_v the_o name_n of_o thy_o good_a god_n to_o be_v glorify_v therefore_o the_o whole_a weight_n of_o thy_o trial_n stand_v chief_o upon_o this_o point_n to_o see_v whether_o we_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n or_o not_o to_o try_v and_o examine_v whether_o christ_n dwell_v in_o we_o by_o faith_n or_o not_o for_o without_o faith_n there_o can_v be_v no_o couple_v or_o conjoin_v betwixt_o we_o and_o christ_n without_o faith_n our_o heart_n can_v be_v sanctify_v and_o cleanse_v and_o without_o faith_n we_o can_v work_v by_o charity_n so_o all_o depend_v on_o this_o only_a and_o therefore_o that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v whether_o you_o have_v faith_n or_o no_o i_o be_v somewhat_o the_o more_o exact_a in_o this_o matter_n and_o i_o begin_v to_o let_v you_o see_v how_o the_o holy_a spirit_n creat_v faith_n and_o work_v faith_n in_o your_o soul_n heart_n and_o mind_n i_o begin_v to_o show_v you_o what_o order_n the_o holy_a spirit_n keep_v in_o form_v &_o in_o create_v this_o notable_a instrument_n in_o your_o heart_n &_o mind_n not_o only_a how_o he_o engender_v and_o begin_v faith_n but_o also_o how_o he_o entertain_v it_o how_o he_o nourish_v it_o and_o i_o show_v you_o the_o external_a mean_n and_o instrument_n which_o he_o use_v to_o this_o effect_n to_o beget_v faith_n in_o our_o soul_n the_o holy_a spirit_n use_v the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n preach_v by_o he_o that_o be_v send_v and_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o ordinary_a mean_n and_o instrument_n which_o ordinary_a mean_n be_v only_o then_o effectual_a when_o as_o the_o holy_a spirit_n concur_v inward_o in_o our_o heart_n with_o the_o word_n strike_v outward_o in_o our_o ear_n and_o with_o the_o sacrament_n outward_o receive_v and_o except_o the_o holy_a spirit_n grant_v his_o concurrence_n to_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n word_n and_o sacrament_n both_o will_v not_o work_v faith_n so_o all_o depend_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o this_o holy_a spirit_n the_o whole_a regeneration_n of_o mankind_n the_o renew_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o of_o the_o conscience_n depend_v on_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v we_o careful_o to_o employ_v ourselves_o in_o call_v upon_o god_n for_o his_o holy_a spirit_n by_o the_o same_o mean_n and_o no_o other_o that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n beget_v faith_n in_o we_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n he_o nourish_v and_o

augment_v and_o nourish_v in_o us._n and_o from_o hence_o i_o take_v my_o exhortation_n that_o if_o you_o will_v have_v that_o spiritual_a life_n nourish_v in_o you_o and_o if_o you_o will_v have_v a_o further_a assurance_n of_o heaven_n of_o necessity_n you_o must_v both_o continual_o &_o diligent_o hear_v the_o bless_a word_n of_o god_n now_o it_o rest_v that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o
