that_o a_o man_n may_v persevere_v in_o grace_n to_o the_o end_n now_o then_o to_o come_v the_o answer_n the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v propound_v to_o we_o this_o question_n of_o conscience_n together_o with_o the_o resolution_n thereof_o in_o these_o example_n follow_v the_o man_n that_o be_v at_o peter_n sermon_n be_v touch_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o their_o own_o misery_n upon_o the_o doctrine_n

by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n answer_v they_o repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o your_o sin_n the_o like_a be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o jailer_n who_o after_o that_o the_o

for_o the_o first_o humiliation_n be_v indeed_o a_o fruit_n of_o faith_n yet_o i_o put_v it_o in_o place_n before_o faith_n because_o in_o practice_v it_o be_v first_o faith_n lie_v hide_v in_o the_o

of_o three_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v a_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n whereby_o the_o sinner_n be_v displease_v with_o himself_o and_o ashamed_a in_o respect_n of_o his_o sin_n the_o second_o be_v a_o

guiltiness_n before_o god_n three_o to_o acknowledge_v our_o just_a damnation_n for_o sin_n the_o three_o thing_n in_o humiliation_n be_v supplication_n make_v to_o god_n for_o mercy_n as_o earnest_o as_o in_o a_o matter_n of_o life_n and_o death_n and_o of_o these_o three_o thing_n we_o have_v in_o scripture_n the_o example_n of_o ezra_n daniel_n and_o the_o prodigal_a son_n ezra_n 9_o dan._n 9_o luk._n 15._o the_o second_o point_n be_v the_o excellency_n of_o humiliation_n which_o stand_v in_o this_o that_o it_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o life_n eternal_a annex_v to_o it_o esa._n 57_o 15._o

to_o they_o that_o be_v of_o a_o contrite_a heart_n psal._n 51._o 17._o a_o contrite_a and_o a_o break_a heart_n o_o god_n thou_o will_v not_o despise_v prou._n 28._o 13._o he_o that_o hide_v his_o sin_n shall_v not_o prosper_v but_o he_o that_o confess_v and_o forsake_v they_o shall_v find_v mercy_n 1._o joh._n 1._o 9_o if_o we_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o unrighteousness_n by_o all_o these_o and_o many_o other_o place_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o in_o the_o very_a instant_n when_o a_o sinner_n begin_v true_o in_o heart_n and_o conscience_n to_o humble_v himself_o he_o be_v then_o enter_v into_o the_o state_n of_o salvation_n so_o soon_o as_o david_n say_v i_o have_v 13._o sin_v nathan_n pronounce_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v put_v away_o and_o david_n himself_o say_v allude_v to_o the_o former_a 5._o place_n i_o say_v i_o will_v confess_v my_o sin_n and_o lo_o thou_o forga●est_v the_o wickedness_n of_o my_o sin_n when_o the_o 18._o prodigal_a son_n have_v but_o say_v i_o will_v go_v to_o my_o father_n etc._n etc._n even_o then_o before_o he_o humble_v himself_o his_o father_n meet_v he_o and_o receive_v he_o the_o three_o point_n be_v touch_v the_o question_n of_o conscience_n concern_v humiliation_n all_o which_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o four_o principal_a case_n i._o case_n what_o if_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o a_o man_n in_o humble_v himself_o can_v call_v to_o mind_v either_o all_o or_o the_o most_o of_o his_o sin_n i_o answer_v a_o particular_a humiliation_n indeed_o be_v require_v for_o main_a and_o know_v sin_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v two_o case_n wherein_o general_a repentance_n will_v be_v accept_v of_o god_n for_o unknown_a sin_n one_o be_v when_o a_o man_n have_v search_v himself_o diligent_o and_o by_o a_o serious_a examination_n pass_v through_o all_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o after_o such_o examination_n and_o search_n make_v can_v call_v to_o remembrance_n his_o particular_a offence_n then_o the_o general_a repentance_n be_v accept_v for_o this_o be_v answerable_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o david_n who_o after_o long_a search_n when_o he_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o particular_a slip_n than_o he_o address_v himself_o to_o a_o general_a humiliation_n say_v who_o know_v the_o error_n of_o this_o life_n cleanse_v i_o lord_n from_o 12._o my_o secret_a fault_n and_o upon_o this_o he_o be_v no_o doubt_n accept_v again_o when_o a_o man_n humble_v himself_o and_o yet_o be_v prevent_v by_o the_o time_n so_o as_o he_o can_v search_v his_o heart_n and_o life_n as_o he_o will_v his_o general_a repentance_n will_v be_v take_v and_o accept_v of_o god_n the_o truth_n hereof_o appear_v in_o the_o thief_n upon_o the_o cross_n who_o have_v no_o time_n to_o search_v himself_o make_v no_o special_a humiliation_n yet_o upon_o his_o general_a confession_n he_o be_v accept_v now_o the_o ground_n of_o

the_o matter_n with_o god_n why_o his_o own_o people_n shall_v be_v so_o lamentable_o afflict_v by_o a_o terrible_a and_o a_o furious_a nation_n and_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v lead_v away_o captive_n by_o the_o chaldean_n the_o enemy_n of_o god_n to_o this_o the_o lord_n make_v answer_v that_o as_o he_o have_v certain_o determine_v that_o judgement_n to_o come_v upon_o they_o so_o certain_o have_v he_o appoint_v a_o set_a time_n wherein_o they_o shall_v be_v deliver_v in_o the_o mean_a while_n he_o bid_v they_o to_o comfort_v themselves_o in_o this_o that_o though_o the_o affliction_n shall_v rest_v upon_o they_o for_o a_o season_n yet_o undoubted_o they_o shall_v be_v case_v at_o the_o length_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o shall_v in_o patience_n wait_v for_o the_o vision_n that_o be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o vision_n touch_v their_o deliverance_n second_o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o general_a that_o god_n be_v true_a and_o faithful_a in_o they_o and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a and_o willing_a to_o fulfil_v they_o even_o as_o he_o make_v they_o but_o we_o must_v believe_v they_o in_o particular_a that_o be_v with_o application_n to_o their_o proper_a and_o several_a circumstance_n which_o be_v the_o particular_a mean_n place_n and_o time_n whereby_o and_o wherein_o he_o have_v give_v his_o word_n as_o touch_v our_o freedom_n and_o exemption_n from_o the_o cross_n take_v a_o instance_n hereof_o in_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n who_o know_v well_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v determine_v to_o bring_v upon_o the_o jew_n 70._o year_n captivity_n in_o babylon_n he_o know_v also_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o that_o captivity_n at_o the_o end_n and_o term_v of_o those_o year_n now_o what_o do_v daniel_n in_o this_o case_n upon_o knowledge_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o that_o point_n during_o the_o say_a time_n he_o pray_v not_o 9_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o deliverance_n of_o his_o people_n but_o when_o he_o understand_v that_o the_o time_n draw_v near_o wherein_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o the_o jew_n 2._o shall_v return_v out_o of_o captivity_n then_o by_o faith_n apply_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o that_o particular_a time_n he_o beseech_v the_o lord_n in_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n with_o fast_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n and_o the_o lord_n give_v ear_n unto_o his_o prayer_n &_o yield_v he_o a_o gracious_a answer_n ii_o the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o god_n when_o he_o defer_v deliverance_n he_o do_v it_o upon_o great_a and_o weighty_a cause_n and_o consideration_n best_a know_v to_o himself_o the_o first_o whereof_o be_v that_o thereby_o he_o may_v humble_v man_n thorough_o and_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o utter_a denial_n of_o themselves_o and_o consequent_o cause_v they_o to_o learn_v patience_n in_o affliction_n which_o they_o will_v not_o learn_v if_o they_o may_v be_v their_o own_o carver_n and_o have_v speedy_a deliverance_n from_o the_o cross_n at_o their_o own_o will_n &_o pleasure_n second_o that_o be_v afflict_v they_o may_v acknowledge_v whence_o their_o deliverance_n come_v yea_o whence_o they_o do_v receive_v not_o only_o that_o but_o every_o other_o good_a benefit_n which_o they_o enjoy_v namely_o not_o from_o themselves_o or_o any_o creature_n but_o only_o from_o the_o lord_n and_o according_o may_v learn_v to_o value_n and_o prize_v his_o gift_n at_o their_o deserve_a excellency_n for_o it_o be_v a_o true_a say_n and_o often_o verify_v in_o affliction_n and_o want_n that_o benefit_n easy_o obtain_v be_v light_o regard_v and_o soon_o forget_v three_o that_o by_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o cross_n without_o intermission_n he_o may_v make_v they_o to_o distaste_v the_o world_n and_o consequent_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v wherein_o all_o matter_n of_o mourning_n shall_v cease_v and_o 4._o all_o tear_n shall_v be_v wipe_v from_o their_o eye_n four_o the_o lord_n defer_v deliverance_n from_o affliction_n that_o he_o may_v prevent_v great_a evil_n and_o danger_n whereinto_o those_o that_o be_v afflict_v may_v run_v if_o they_o have_v their_o heart_n desire_v and_o be_v ease_v not_o at_o his_o will_n but_o at_o their_o own_o wish_n when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n come_v into_o canaan_n they_o be_v inform_v that_o they_o shall_v dwell_v together_o with_o the_o canaanite_n and_o moses_n render_v a_o reason_n thereof_o lest_o say_v he_o the_o wild_a 28._o beast_n of_o the_o field_n multiply_v against_o thou_o and_o for_o 2d_o the_o prevent_n of_o this_o evil_n the_o israelite_n must_v endure_v some_o annoyance_n by_o the_o canaanite_n even_o so_o the_o lord_n keep_v his_o servant_n under_o the_o cross_n for_o the_o prevent_n of_o great_a sin_n and_o offence_n this_o shall_v stay_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n &_o make_v they_o content_a to_o wait_v upon_o god_n for_o deliverance_n when_o they_o be_v afflict_v the_o three_o and_o last_o point_n be_v that_o god_n always_o have_v and_o do_v exercise_v his_o best_a servant_n with_o long_a and_o continue_a cross_n abraham_n be_v childless_a till_o he_o be_v 70._o year_n of_o age_n and_o at_o those_o year_n the_o lord_n promise_v he_o issue_n but_o this_o promise_n be_v not_o accomplish_v till_o a_o long_a time_n after_o when_o he_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a david_n have_v a_o promise_n to_o be_v king_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o juda_n but_o the_o lord_n exercise_v he_o by_o many_o and_o grievous_a affliction_n before_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o that_o his_o eye_n fail_v with_o wait_v upon_o his_o god_n zacharie_n and_o elizabeth_n pray_v to_o god_n both_o of_o they_o in_o their_o youth_n and_o many_o year_n after_o for_o issue_n but_o the_o lord_n grant_v not_o their_o request_n till_o they_o be_v old_a to_o add_v no_o more_o example_n by_o these_o we_o see_v the_o lord_n deal_v even_o with_o holy_a man_n &_o woman_n his_o own_o dear_a servant_n that_o he_o do_v not_o always_o grant_v their_o request_n nor_o condescend_v to_o their_o desire_n at_o the_o first_o but_o as_o it_o be_v hold_v they_o off_o &_o suspend_v his_o grace_n and_o favour_n for_o a_o time_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o thus_o to_o deal_v with_o any_o of_o we_o we_o must_v from_o these_o example_n be_v teach_v to_o possess_v our_o soul_n with_o patience_n rest_v content_v in_o his_o will_n and_o wait_v on_o his_o good_a pleasure_n to_o the_o end_n to_o conclude_v this_o point_n suppose_v that_o the_o condition_n of_o god_n servant_n be_v such_o as_o that_o they_o find_v no_o end_n of_o their_o
