man_n in_o the_o church_n some_o that_o usurp_v a_o peace_n and_o exemption_n from_o trouble_n as_o if_o joy_n and_o comfort_n be_v their_o portion_n satan_n be_v wise_a enough_o not_o to_o trouble_v

the_o only_a way_n for_o such_o be_v to_o be_v trouble_v that_o their_o trouble_n may_v be_v a_o foundation_n of_o their_o comfort_n for_o to_o such_o as_o live_v in_o their_o sin_n against_o conscience_n apparent_o so_o that_o every_o man_n may_v see_v it_o and_o yet_o be_v not_o trouble_v they_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o comfort_n nothing_o but_o woe_n and_o misery_n belong_v to_o they_o indeed_o christ_n come_v to_o save_v sinner_n but_o it_o be_v brokenhearted_a sinner_n penitent_a sinner_n that_o be_v weary_a and_o heavy_a lade_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o though_o these_o speak_v peace_n to_o themselves_o yet_o we_o dare_v not_o speak_v any_o comfort_n to_o they_o from_o christ_n as_o jehu_n say_v to_o joram_n what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v with_o peace_n as_o long_o as_o the_o whoredom_n of_o thy_o mother_n lezebel_n be_v so_o many_o do_v thou_o talk_v of_o peace_n as_o long_o as_o thou_o be_v a_o sweater_n a_o profane_a liver_n a_o malicious_a person_n against_o all_o that_o be_v true_o good_a what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v with_o peace_n now_o in_o the_o visible_a church_n there_o be_v another_o sort_n that_o satan_n labour_v to_o trouble_v since_o he_o can_v keep_v they_o in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n but_o they_o break_v from_o he_o christ_n pull_v they_o out_o of_o satan_n kingdom_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o

the_o estate_n of_o such_o be_v mix_v here_o in_o this_o world_n they_o have_v that_o in_o they_o and_o without_o they_o which_o will_v always_o be_v a_o cause_n and_o occasion_n of_o trouble_n they_o

they_o have_v something_o in_o they_o that_o must_v be_v subdue_v yet_o something_o also_o that_o must_v be_v cherish_v and_o strengthen_v and_o therefore_o these_o be_v the_o person_n to_o who_o

to_o have_v comfort_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o discomfort_n and_o a_o heart_n enlarge_v in_o trouble_n he_o speak_v this_o to_o they_o here_o who_o be_v believer_n already_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n who_o he_o know_v shall_v not_o be_v trouble_v let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v so_o that_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v subject_n capable_a of_o comfort_n we_o must_v be_v such_o as_o

into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o trouble_n for_o oftentimes_o christian_n be_v trouble_v they_o can_v tell_v wherefore_o as_o child_n that_o will_v complain_v they_o know_v not_o why_o i_o speak_v not_o of_o hypocrite_n that_o will_v complain_v of_o that_o which_o be_v not_o a_o true_a grief_n to_o they_o like_o some_o bird_n that_o make_v great_a noise_n when_o they_o be_v further_a from_o their_o nest_n but_o of_o some_o poor_a christian_n that_o be_v trouble_v but_o distinct_o know_v not_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o but_o search_v the_o heart_n ingenuous_o and_o true_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o achan_n in_o the_o camp_n some_o sin_n in_o the_o heart_n for_o sin_n be_v like_a wind_n when_o it_o get_v into_o the_o vein_n it_o will_v have_v vent_n and_o a_o troublesome_a one_o and_o so_o will_v sin_v if_o it_o get_v into_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v that_o indeed_o which_o cause_v all_o trouble_n and_o therefore_o search_v your_o heart_n thorough_o what_o sin_n lie_v there_o unrepented_a of_o and_o for_o which_o you_o have_v not_o be_v humble_v and_o when_o you_o have_v find_v out_o your_o sin_n give_v it_o vent_v by_o confession_n of_o it_o to_o god_n and_o in_o some_o case_n to_o other_o and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v so_o consider_v what_o promise_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v fit_v to_o that_o condition_n for_o we_o can_v be_v in_o no_o condition_n but_o there_o be_v comfort_n for_o it_o and_o promise_v fit_v to_o yield_v comfort_n for_o every_o malady_n and_o it_o will_v be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o christian_n to_o accommodate_v the_o remedy_n to_o the_o sore_a of_o his_o heart_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v skilful_a and_o well_o see_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v sore_o up_o comfort_n beforehand_o our_o saviour_n christ_n tell_v they_o beforehand_o of_o the_o scandal_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o of_o peter_n denial_n that_o they_o may_v lay_v up_o strength_n and_o spiritual_a armour_n against_o the_o day_n of_o trial_n those_o comfort_n do_v not_o for_o the_o most_o part_n hold_v out_o in_o the_o day_n of_o adversity_n quaesita_fw-la which_o be_v not_o procure_v in_o the_o day_n of_o prosperity_n it_o be_v not_o wisdom_n to_o be_v to_o learn_v religion_n when_o we_o shall_v use_v it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v spiritual_a good_a husband_n for_o our_o soul_n by_o store_v up_o comfort_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v then_o to_o remember_v the_o comfort_n that_o we_o do_v beforehand_o know_v and_o there_o be_v some_o promise_n of_o more_o general_a use_n that_o be_v catholica_fw-la fit_v for_o all_o sort_n of_o grievance_n and_o of_o these_o we_o must_v make_v use_n when_o we_o can_v think_v of_o particular_a one_o as_o the_o promise_n that_o concern_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n think_v of_o god_n mercy_n in_o pardon_v sin_n with_o admiration_n because_o sin_n will_v be_v present_v we_o in_o such_o terrible_a colour_n that_o if_o god_n be_v not_o present_v in_o as_o gracious_a colour_n we_o shall_v sink_v and_o therefore_o set_v out_o christ_n in_o his_o mercy_n and_o all_o sufficiency_n when_o sin_n be_v aggravate_v to_o be_v in_o its_o heinousness_n and_o out_o of_o measure_n sinfulness_n as_o the_o prophet_n michah_n do_v who_o be_v a_o god_n like_o our_o god_n that_o pardon_v iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n etc._n etc._n likewise_o how_o many_o promise_n and_o comfort_n be_v there_o in_o that_o one_o promise_n luk._n
