desire_n go_v after_o the_o world_n be_v a_o mighty_a impediment_n to_o our_o growth_n in_o grace_n to_o our_o flourish_a in_o the_o world_n you_o see_v what_o be_v say_v in_o matth._n 13._o the_o care_n of_o the_o world_n the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n the_o deceitfulness_n of_o riches_n choke_v the_o word_n and_o make_v it_o become_v altogether_o unfruitful_a and_o true_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n and_o pursuit_n of_o worldly_a thing_n do_v exceed_o hinder_v grace_v in_o the_o four_o ground_n in_o those_o that_o be_v true_o godly_a it_o be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n to_o they_o till_o they_o get_v their_o heart_n mortify_v to_o the_o world_n and_o wean_v from_o the_o world_n now_o certain_o the_o pressure_n that_o we_o meet_v withal_o in_o the_o world_n be_v a_o exceed_o great_a mean_n to_o take_v we_o off_o from_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o world_n we_o be_v mortify_v to_o the_o world_n as_o paul_n say_v of_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n gal._n 6._o 14._o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v glory_v in_o any_o thing_n save_v in_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n what_o be_v the_o cross_n of_o christ_n why_o the_o suffering_n which_o i_o have_v for_o christ_n the_o weight_n which_o be_v lay_v upon_o i_o for_o christ_n sake_n what_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o this_o why_o whereby_o i_o be_o crucify_v unto_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n unto_o i_o now_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v deliver_v from_o this_o world_n this_o evil_a world_n it_o must_v needs_o flourish_v up_o to_o the_o other_o world_n second_o by_o the_o affliction_n and_o trouble_n we_o meet_v with_o in_o this_o world_n we_o get_v much_o light_n and_o grow_v into_o a_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o make_v for_o our_o increase_v heaven-ward_n it_o have_v be_v ancient_o say_v that_o affliction_n give_v understanding_n and_o the_o school_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v the_o school_n of_o light_n light_n come_v in_o while_o we_o be_v in_o the_o school_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o indeed_o there_o be_v a_o fourfold_a light_n do_v come_v in_o to_o we_o while_o we_o be_v under_o the_o cross_n and_o under_o suffering_n a_o light_n first_o which_o discover_v more_o to_o we_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o world_n than_o ever_o we_o see_v before_o and_o the_o baseness_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o we_o and_o second_o a_o light_a to_o see_v more_o of_o of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o david_n in_o psal_n 119._o 71._o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o that_o i_o have_v be_v afflict_v for_o thereby_o i_o have_v learn_v thy_o statute_n say_v he_o learn_v they_o i_o have_v more_o of_o thy_o statute_n and_o i_o have_v learn_v every_o statute_n more_o there_o have_v come_v in_o a_o clear_a light_n into_o my_o soul_n now_o by_o my_o affliction_n a_o state_n of_o affliction_n be_v in_o itself_o call_v in_o scripture_n a_o state_n of_o darkness_n it_o be_v a_o time_n of_o darkness_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v wonderful_a that_o out_o of_o this_o darkness_n there_o come_v a_o light_n a_o spiritual_a light_n so_o that_o we_o see_v more_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o wonderful_a thing_n of_o the_o law_n three_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o by_o affliction_n we_o have_v a_o clear_a light_n to_o see_v the_o worth_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o a_o interest_n in_o jesus_n christ_n what_o a_o excellent_a thing_n that_o be_v and_o then_o four_o a_o clear_a light_n to_o see_v the_o excellency_n of_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o as_o of_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n so_o of_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n how_o glorious_a how_o choice_a a_o one_o jesus_n christ_n be_v i_o do_v but_o touch_v this_o now_o by_o affliction_n a_o light_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n upon_o all_o these_o or_o upon_o other_o account_n we_o must_v needs_o improve_v heaven-ward_n and_o grow_v up_o like_o the_o palmtree_n in_o 2_o pet._n 3._o 18._o say_v the_o apostle_n grow_v in_o grace_n why_o how_o shall_v we_o come_v to_o grow_v in_o grace_n why_o say_v he_o and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n in_o proportion_n to_o our_o growth_n in_o the_o knowledge_n in_o the_o true_a knowledge_n i_o speak_v not_o of_o a_o notional_a knowledge_n a_o mere_a brain_n knowledge_n but_o of_o a_o experimental_a knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o increase_v in_o this_o knowledge_n so_o we_o increase_v and_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n as_o we_o grow_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o world_n as_o we_o grow_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o we_o grow_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o worth_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n as_o we_o grow_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n so_o we_o must_v needs_o grow_v in_o grace_n now_o then_o the_o cross_n and_o affliction_n give_v we_o a_o advantage_n for_o all_o these_o thing_n you_o see_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o and_o then_o three_o the_o weight_n and_o pressure_n which_o be_v upon_o these_o palm-tree_n upon_o the_o righteous_a they_o do_v draw_v they_o more_o into_o their_o own_o heart_n to_o converse_v more_o at_o home_n to_o search_v themselves_o more_o to_o be_v acquaint_v more_o with_o their_o own_o bosom_n and_o this_o will_v make_v we_o flourish_v and_o grow_v upward_o for_o indeed_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o grow_v up_o so_o little_a in_o acquaintance_n with_o christ_n lie_v much_o in_o this_o because_o we_o grow_v so_o little_a in_o acquaintance_n with_o ourselves_o now_o in_o a_o afflict_a condition_n if_o ever_o the_o soul_n be_v upon_o its_o return_n to_o itself_o in_o lam._n 3._o when_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v in_o that_o sad_a condition_n under_o those_o grievous_a weight_n of_o captivity_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o trouble_n they_o be_v in_o say_v they_o let_v we_o search_v and_o try_v ourselves_o come_v now_o let_v we_o go_v in_o to_o ourselves_o let_v we_o search_v for_o our_o corruption_n search_v for_o our_o lust_n which_o lie_v in_o the_o secret_a corner_n of_o our_o heart_n let_v we_o search_v ourselves_o and_o let_v we_o search_v how_o it_o be_v with_o we_o as_o to_o grace_n what_o faith_n we_o have_v what_o love_v we_o have_v what_o patience_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n indeed_o affliction_n do_v put_v we_o upon_o this_o search_n of_o ourselves_o to_o find_v out_o the_o state_n of_o our_o grace_n how_o it_o be_v with_o we_o what_o condition_n they_o be_v in_o how_o they_o fare_v now_o this_o the_o trouble_v we_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o world_n give_v we_o a_o advantage_n for_o and_o so_o a_o advantage_n of_o spiritual_a growth_n of_o grow_a heaven-ward_n as_o the_o palmtree_n and_o then_o four_o these_o affliction_n and_o pressure_n we_o have_v from_o the_o world_n drive_v we_o near_o to_o god_n as_o to_o a_o more_o acquaintance_n with_o ourselves_o so_o to_o a_o more_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n and_o more_o communion_n with_o christ_n they_o do_v as_o it_o be_v force_v we_o to_o christ_n when_o the_o world_n deal_v so_o unkind_o with_o we_o many_o time_n when_o the_o world_n be_v kind_a to_o we_o sail_n with_o we_o and_o flatter_v we_o and_o hug_v we_o and_o embrace_v we_o we_o begin_v to_o forget_v and_o to_o slight_a communion_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o say_v as_o they_o in_o jer._n 2._o we_o be_v lord_n we_o will_v come_v no_o more_o at_o thou_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n when_o they_o be_v in_o a_o very_a flourish_a condition_n ay_o but_o when_o they_o be_v slave_n and_o in_o captivity_n and_o in_o a_o sad_a condition_n true_o than_o they_o see_v reason_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n to_o come_v to_o he_o by_o prayer_n the_o very_a mariner_n in_o jonah_n when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o storm_n every_o one_o go_v to_o his_o god_n isa_n 26._o in_o their_o trouble_n they_o have_v visit_v i_o to_o be_v sure_a i_o shall_v hear_v of_o they_o then_o in_o their_o affliction_n they_o will_v seek_v i_o early_o it_o be_v so_o in_o evil_a man_n much_o more_o be_v it_o so_o in_o the_o righteous_a and_o in_o those_o that_o have_v walk_v with_o god_n if_o they_o have_v have_v a_o constant_a communion_n with_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n in_o a_o time_n of_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n sure_o in_o a_o time_n of_o pressure_n they_o have_v much_o more_o communion_n with_o he_o now_o this_o must_v needs_o cause_v the_o soul_n to_o increase_v and_o flourish_v for_o the_o near_o we_o be_v to_o god_n the_o more_o we_o have_v of_o god_n
