we_o find_v in_o it_o beside_o the_o devil_n that_o old_a serpent_n he_o come_v and_o tell_v it_o be_v either_o no_o sin_n at_o all_o or_o else_o but_o a_o small_a sin_n and_o may_v be_v easy_o

the_o portion_n of_o god_n child_n the_o most_o holy_a and_o dear_a of_o god_n saint_n many_o time_n be_v subject_a unto_o this_o alteration_n and_o yet_o be_v dear_a &_o precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o we_o see_v in_o david_n and_o peter_n wicked_a but_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o slackness_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o wicked_a backslide_v the_o godly_a they_o may_v slack_v but_o it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o time_n he_o be_v cold_a and_o remiss_a in_o the_o duty_n of_o holiness_n but_o it_o last_v not_o it_o vanish_v away_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o wicked_o &_o continue_v in_o apostasy_n unto_o the_o end_n in_o these_o it_o be_v natural_a but_o unto_o the_o other_o it_o be_v but_o the_o instigation_n of_o the_o devil_n work_v by_o some_o lust_n upon_o one_o of_o the_o faculty_n now_o slackness_n or_o coldness_n of_o god_n child_n may_v seem_v to_o godly_a proceed_v from_o a_o threefold_a cause_n first_o from_o that_o hollow_a ha●tednesse_n that_o be_v in_o the_o child_n of_o god_n which_o like_o a_o hollow_a wall_n fall_v when_o it_o be_v 1._o shake_v because_o it_o be_v not_o firm_a so_o their_o heart_n be_v not_o firm_o establish_v in_o grace_n nor_o root_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n when_o affliction_n or_o reproach_n come_v it_o shake_v down_o that_o hold_n which_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v of_o christ._n second_o the_o next_o cause_n may_v proceed_v from_o the_o evil_a 2._o example_n of_o man_n which_o by_o their_o insinuation_n may_v draw_v their_o affection_n away_o and_o carry_v they_o from_o that_o love_n that_o they_o have_v towards_o god_n therefore_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o insinuation_n of_o wickedman_n they_o will_v first_o labour_n to_o know_v the_o desire_n of_o your_o heart_n and_o then_o they_o will_v fit_v themselves_o according_o to_o deceive_v you_o and_o beside_o the_o devil_n work_v effectual_o by_o they_o three_o the_o last_o cause_n may_v proceed_v from_o this_o that_o he_o be_v remove_v from_o under_o a_o powerful_a ministry_n which_o 3._o former_o he_o live_v under_o unto_o a_o careless_a shepherd_n or_o at_o least_o a_o unprofitable_a one_o hereupon_o he_o may_v grow_v remiss_a and_o cold_a in_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n but_o nevertheless_o although_o this_o arise_v from_o man_n yet_o the_o cause_n be_v in_o themselves_o for_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o they_o fall_v but_o because_o they_o find_v spiritual_a thing_n dead_a in_o they_o and_o a_o inlacke_n of_o grace_n therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o take_v heed_n of_o fall_v away_o for_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v run_v in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n and_o catch_v heat_n that_o be_v be_v enlighten_v and_o then_o sit_v down_o in_o a_o consumption_n of_o grace_n or_o fall_v sick_a of_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n sure_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a sin_n therefore_o let_v this_o teach_v every_o man_n to_o take_v heed_n to_o his_o stand_n first_o for_o those_o that_o do_v stand_v let_v they_o take_v heed_n stand_v that_o nothing_o take_v away_o their_o hold_n whether_o it_o be_v profit_n pleasure_n or_o delight_n these_o the_o devil_n will_v use_v as_o instrument_n to_o beguile_v you_o but_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o be_v not_o deceive_v by_o they_o second_o for_o those_o that_o have_v fall_v unto_o earthly_a 3._o mindedness_n let_v they_o learn_v with_o philadelphia_n to_o repent_v and_o to_o do_v their_o first_o work_n that_o be_v let_v they_o labour_n to_o get_v out_o of_o this_o condition_n three_o for_o those_o that_o have_v not_o yet_o taste_v of_o the_o sweetness_n of_o christ_n let_v they_o here_o learn_v to_o be_v ashamed_a christ._n of_o themselves_o because_o they_o have_v neglect_v so_o great_a salvation_n and_o those_o that_o have_v have_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n a_o long_a time_n preach_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o yet_o have_v not_o be_v renew_v that_o be_v have_v not_o leave_v their_o swinish_a disposition_n may_v here_o be_v ashamed_a but_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o persuade_v the_o world_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o point_n the_o minister_n may_v speak_v and_o persuade_v but_o it_o be_v god_n that_o must_v change_v the_o heart_n and_o make_v the_o man_n willing_a to_o have_v his_o corruption_n mortify_v we_o speak_v but_o to_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n young_a man_n and_o old_a first_o young_a man_n when_o they_o be_v man_n persuade_v to_o forsake_v the_o world_n they_o reply_v it_o stand_v not_o with_o their_o youth_n to_o set_v upon_o this_o work_n they_o be_v not_o able_a or_o at_o least_o not_o willing_a to_o leave_v their_o pleasure_n second_o old_a man_n when_o they_o be_v persuade_v man_n to_o forsake_v the_o world_n reply_v also_o and_o say_v they_o have_v be_v instruct_v &_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o this_o and_o therefore_o arenow_v unwilling_a to_o repent_v of_o their_o earthly_a mindedness_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v

hard_o for_o a_o man_n to_o draw_v man_n out_o of_o their_o swinish_a condition_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a work_n if_o god_n will_v be_v the_o instructor_n if_o he_o do_v put_v his_o spirit_n into_o

8._o two_o of_o the_o sort_n of_o ground_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o receive_v seed_n because_o they_o be_v not_o humble_v and_o therefore_o the_o word_n have_v not_o that_o effect_n in_o they_o as_o it_o

to_o consider_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v do_v on_o earth_n be_v first_o act_v in_o heaven_n the_o sun_n be_v first_o eclipse_v there_o and_o then_o here_o so_o that_o your_o estate_n be_v first_o

second_o you_o look_v on_o they_o as_o blessing_n if_o you_o 2_o look_v upon_o they_o so_o as_o to_o know_v that_o you_o may_v have_v they_o in_o abundance_n without_o any_o comfort_n instrument_n

a_o sign_n that_o your_o eye_n be_v on_o god_n that_o you_o look_v on_o they_o only_o as_o the_o vehiculars_n or_o conduct_v pipe_n to_o convey_v comfort_n the_o air_n yield_v light_a as_o a_o

so_o if_o a_o man_n drink_v a_o potion_n in_o beer_n the_o beer_n of_o itself_o do_v not_o work_v but_o the_o potion_n work_v by_o the_o beer_n so_o it_o be_v with_o all_o outward_a blessing_n they_o of_o themselves_o can_v yield_v you_o no_o comfort_n at_o all_o but_o if_o they_o will_v yield_v you_o any_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o comfort_n which_o god_n put_v into_o they_o three_o you_o do_v then_o enjoy_v they_o as_o blessing_n if_o you_o think_v you_o may_v have_v comfort_n without_o they_o 3_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o outward_a thing_n do_v not_o augment_v your_o

to_o help_v with_o few_o or_o with_o many_o so_o he_o can_v comfort_v with_o few_o friend_n and_o external_a blessing_n as_o well_o as_o with_o many_o yea_o he_o can_v make_v a_o little_a which_o

whatsoever_o you_o say_v to_o the_o contrary_a be_v but_o in_o vain_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o you_o must_v not_o judge_v of_o thing_n according_a to_o sense_n for_o
