point_n to_o quiet_a the_o mind_n of_o all_o that_o be_v trouble_v with_o the_o doubt_n how_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o get_v the_o mastery_n over_o their_o great_a corruption_n if_o any_o shall_v further_o require_v to_o have_v particular_a promise_n for_o particular_a sin_n he_o be_v to_o know_v that_o howsoever_o the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o descend_v to_o particular_n 26._o ezek._n

not_o do_v in_o every_o sin_n neither_o be_v it_o needful_a for_o when_o god_n speak_v so_o general_o that_o he_o will_v cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o that_o he_o will_v heal_v all_o our_o disease_n and_o the_o like_o many_o as_o we_o have_v see_v in_o the_o forename_a place_n who_o will_v require_v more_o let_v we_o then_o learn_v to_o apply_v these_o general_a promise_n to_o our_o particular_a occasion_n &_o i_o nothing_o doubt_v but_o it_o will_v as_o sufficient_o comfort_v we_o as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v in_o particular_a he_o will_v kill_v our_o pride_n our_o unbelief_n our_o hypocrisy_n and_o the_o rest_n only_o let_v we_o be_v familiar_o acquaint_v with_o these_o as_o need_n shall_v require_v and_o be_v oft_o in_o meditation_n upon_o these_o whereof_o we_o shall_v have_v daily_o use_v and_o hereunto_o join_v fervent_a prayer_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v persuade_v we_o by_o his_o spirit_n thus_o to_o rest_v upon_o his_o promise_n for_o his_o help_n in_o our_o great_a need_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o more_o courageous_o set_v ourselves_o against_o our_o great_a sin_n and_o daily_o more_o and_o more_o get_v the_o victory_n over_o

more_o assure_v of_o a_o full_a victory_n over_o all_o our_o corruption_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o overcome_v we_o but_o we_o they_o which_o must_v needs_o bring_v much_o comfort_n to_o all_o poor_a distress_a soul_n who_o groan_n under_o the_o burden_n of_o they_o till_o they_o may_v be_v ease_v we_o be_v to_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o general_a point_n propound_v wherein_o we_o be_v to_o have_v use_n of_o our_o faith_n against_o those_o many_o doubt_n which_o arise_v in_o our_o heart_n how_o we_o who_o be_v so_o full_a of_o frailty_n and_o so_o weak_a in_o grace_n may_v yet_o

better_a than_o hypocrite_n imagine_v it_o be_v no_o such_o hard_a matter_n to_o lead_v a_o godly_a life_n and_o so_o content_v themselves_o with_o such_o common_a duty_n as_o may_v uphold_v a_o
