therefore_o with_o the_o manifold_a unworthyness_n they_o find_v in_o themselves_o hinder_v they_o from_o comfort_n and_o consolation_n as_o for_o the_o former_a sort_n i_o will_v wish_v they_o

close_o imply_v &_o understand_v they_o wherein_o sure_o he_o deal_v not_o otherwise_o than_o he_o do_v in_o the_o commandment_n by_o a_o good_a thing_n command_v forbid_v the_o contrary_a cuill_n

of_o strong_a &_o sound_a consolation_n because_o they_o be_v as_o if_o it_o be_v so_o many_o seal_v set_v unto_o the_o writing_n of_o god_n promise_n that_o as_o heretofore_o he_o have_v be_v to_o

be_v now_o because_o we_o have_v more_o mean_n of_o mercy_n and_o have_v profit_v less_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o so_o proper_o fit_a for_o consolation_n as_o the_o promise_n be_v for_o over_o and_o beside_o that_o they_o be_v but_o in_o man_n and_o therefore_o full_a of_o weakness_n and_o want_n we_o know_v and_o confess_v every_o where_n that_o as_o we_o must_v live_v not_o by_o example_n

deserve_v all_o in_o all_o not_o for_o himself_o for_o he_o need_v no_o merit_n as_o never_o have_v offend_v but_o for_o we_o that_o in_o his_o righteousness_n we_o may_v stand_v pure_a and_o clean_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o then_o no_o doubt_n but_o if_o we_o do_v this_o these_o temptation_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o easy_a and_o the_o soon_o overcome_v special_o if_o we_o adjoine_v therewith_o all_o prayer_n for_o the_o increase_n &_o strengthen_v of_o our_o faith_n to_o apply_v unto_o ourselves_o all_o the_o sweet_a promise_n and_o comfortable_a example_n of_o the_o word_n which_o indeed_o be_v not_o only_o as_o many_o sure_a seal_n and_o pledge_n set_v thereunto_o but_o so_o many_o particular_a document_n to_o instruct_v we_o what_o to_o do_v because_o god_n be_v not_o in_o this_o sort_n or_o sense_n a_o general_a god_n to_o all_o but_o a_o particular_a god_n to_o the_o faithful_a &_o a_o special_a god_n to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o as_o may_v appear_v by_o these_o word_n of_o the_o faithful_a i_o thank_v my_o god_n and_o in_o prayer_n my_o god_n my_o god_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o this_o apply_v of_o he_o unto_o ourselves_o do_v not_o straighten_v god_n goodness_n in_o itself_o for_o that_o be_v infinite_o large_a nor_o hinder_v it_o from_o other_o for_o he_o may_v and_o do_v give_v to_o all_o abundant_o and_o yet_o all_o they_o have_v to_o the_o full_a and_o he_o himself_o never_o a_o whit_n the_o less_o therefore_o a_o second_o doctrine_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o hence_o be_v this_o that_o the_o estate_n of_o a_o distress_a and_o a_o afflict_a spirit_n be_v not_o so_o hard_a or_o heavy_a so_o dangerous_a deadly_a or_o desperate_a as_o many_o man_n in_o the_o world_n take_v it_o and_o will_v make_v it_o to_o be_v this_o be_v gather_v from_o hence_o yea_o and_o confirm_v also_o by_o this_o that_o he_o do_v here_o so_o comfortable_o call_v upon_o they_o and_o command_v they_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o which_o if_o they_o have_v be_v past_o hope_n he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v for_o our_o saviour_n have_v not_o do_v or_o say_v any_o thing_n in_o vain_a surely_n nothing_o be_v hide_v from_o he_o he_o know_v their_o estate_n and_o according_o frame_v himself_o thereto_o and_o indeed_o to_o say_v true_a it_o have_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n because_o be_v past_a hope_n it_o shall_v have_v be_v in_o vain_a either_o to_o have_v call_v or_o command_v but_o christ_n show_v rather_o the_o quite_o and_o clean_o contrary_a namely_o that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o comfortable_a as_o we_o may_v perceive_v by_o this_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n so_o tender_o regard_v they_o that_o be_v plunge_v into_o that_o misery_n and_o this_o we_o may_v understand_v also_o by_o many_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o by_o that_o before_o allege_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o this_o must_v of_o necessity_n come_v from_o god_n or_o from_o nature_n that_o which_o be_v from_o god_n be_v as_o himself_o good_a yea_o very_o good_a that_o which_o be_v from_o nature_n be_v as_o nature_n vitiate_a and_o corrupt_a but_o this_o indeed_o be_v no_o natural_a thing_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o this_o that_o nature_n in_o the_o corruption_n of_o it_o rather_o soothe_v man_n in_o sin_n than_o any_o manner_n of_o way_n charge_v they_o withal_o yea_o nature_n be_v so_o far_o from_o work_v it_o that_o it_o rather_o shun_v it_o and_o fly_v from_o it_o as_o a_o most_o grievous_a evil_n and_o beside_o if_o it_o be_v natural_a and_o from_o man_n why_o shall_v not_o all_o be_v exercise_v with_o it_o see_v all_o man_n be_v meerlie_o natural_a and_o have_v alike_o sin_v as_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o taint_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v that_o actual_o all_o man_n have_v not_o sin_v alike_o yet_o since_o every_o man_n in_o his_o measure_n or_o manner_n have_v break_v the_o law_n of_o god_n if_o it_o be_v from_o nature_n it_o will_v follow_v thereupon_o that_o every_o man_n either_o more_o or_o less_o shall_v be_v touch_v therewithal_o because_o every_o man_n have_v more_o or_o less_o sin_v it_o be_v therefore_o from_o god_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o this_o also_o that_o he_o have_v ordain_v many_o mean_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n the_o execution_n of_o judgment_n and_o the_o denounce_v of_o the_o same_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o law_n and_o his_o use_v of_o the_o same_o as_o a_o worthy_a instrument_n to_o bring_v man_n there_o unto_o it_o will_v follow_v thereupon_o that_o it_o can_v be_v but_o good_a because_o nothing_o come_v from_o he_o who_o be_v all_o sovereign_a goodness_n in_o himself_o but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a even_o as_o he_o himself_o be_v and_o if_o it_o be_v good_a as_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v come_v from_o he_o than_o it_o be_v not_o evil_a or_o so_o dangerous_a deadly_a and_o desperate_a as_o many_o man_n make_v it_o beside_o let_v we_o but_o a_o little_a regard_n the_o person_n who_o be_v most_o touch_v therewith_o &_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o they_o be_v the_o dear_a &_o near_a unto_o god_n &_o be_v best_o belove_v of_o he_o among_o the_o father_n under_o the_o law_n be_v any_o more_o excellent_a than_o abraham_n than_o moses_n than_o david_n than_o isaiah_n of_o abraham_n it_o be_v record_v that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a &_o the_o friend_n of_o god_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v affirm_v that_o he_o be_v the_o faithful_a in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o a_o servant_n of_o david_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n even_o according_a to_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o how_o much_o
