he_o but_o he_o be_v at_o the_o very_a point_n of_o death_n than_o god_n revive_v he_o even_o so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n when_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v at_o the_o height_n and_o

for_o her_o peace_n here_o and_o eternal_a welfare_n hereafter_o this_o be_v clear_a in_o our_o text_n the_o prophet_n have_v be_v in_o darkness_n i_o but_o god_n have_v bring_v he_o forth_o into_o

darkness_n s._n paul_n say_v tribulation_n work_v patience_n and_o patience_n experience_n hereby_o the_o soul_n know_v more_o of_o god_n and_o attain_v clear_a apprehension_n of_o he_o than_o it_o have_v before_o when_o she_o be_v able_a to_o say_v it_o be_v true_a i_o be_v in_o darkness_n but_o then_o god_n carry_v on_o a_o glorious_a design_n of_o do_v i_o good_a all_o though_o i_o can_v

return_v unto_o thy_o rest_n o_o my_o soul_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v deal_v bountiful_o with_o thou_o and_o this_o be_v one_o mair_a end_n of_o god_n draw_v a_o cloud_n over_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o christian_a that_o he_o may_v have_v some_o experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o he_o in_o this_o condition_n and_o thereby_o attain_v a_o full_a knowledge_n of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n than_o he_o do_v before_o i_o confess_v it_o may_v seem_v strange_a but_o it_o be_v true_a that_o a_o christian_a gain_n light_n by_o the_o darkness_n of_o his_o spirit_n do_v not_o the_o light_n of_o a_o christian_a fail_v he_o he_o will_v never_o have_v such_o experience_n of_o divine_a relief_n as_o now_o he_o have_v this_o make_v his_o light_n double_a to_o what_o he_o have_v before_o he_o have_v the_o light_n of_o instruction_n before_o but_o now_o he_o have_v the_o light_n of_o experience_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o those_o christian_n who_o have_v have_v the_o great_a cloud_n upon_o their_o spirit_n prove_v the_o most_o know_a christian_n for_o experience_n be_v the_o mistress_n of_o truth_n and_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v teach_v by_o experience_n it_o know_v the_o truth_n indeed_o now_o the_o soul_n be_v put_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o query_n about_o it_o she_o be_v full_o satisfy_v in_o it_o many_o time_n when_o god_n go_v about_o to_o

with_o so_o vile_a and_o wretched_a a_o creature_n as_o he_o be_v thus_o you_o have_v see_v how_o divine_a relief_n flow_v in_o to_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o good_a man_n when_o his_o understanding_n
