comfort_v of_o afflict_a conscience_n give_v this_o direction_n after_o the_o party_n have_v pray_v for_o help_v against_o the_o tempter_n and_o do_v what_o they_o can_v in_o repel_v he_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o if_o they_o be_v yet_o follow_v by_o satan_n that_o then_o they_o shall_v set_v about_o some_o honest_a employment_n but_o now_o i_o be_v in_o bed_n and_o know_v not_o what_o to_o set_v about_o for_o the_o present_a at_o last_o i_o resolve_v to_o try_v to_o suckle_v my_o child_n which_o i_o do_v and_o then_o lie_v down_o again_o and_o find_v that_o i_o be_v pretty_a well_o free_v from_o that_o temptation_n and_o find_v myself_o much_o distemper_v in_o my_o head_n i_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o give_v i_o rest_n and_o go_v about_o to_o compose_v myself_o to_o sleep_v but_o as_o i_o lie_v i_o think_v satan_n stand_v before_o i_o ask_v where_o i_o can_v find_v a_o promise_n for_o sleep_n at_o present_a i_o can_v not_o think_v of_o any_o but_o after_o some_o study_n this_o be_v bring_v into_o my_o mind_n the_o lord_n will_v give_v his_o belove_a sleep_n this_o word_n comfort_v i_o but_o yet_o i_o can_v not_o all_o that_o night_n get_v any_o sleep_n but_o still_o think_v i_o see_v satan_n laugh_v at_o i_o because_o i_o have_v no_o sleep_n and_o yet_o trust_v in_o his_o word_n thus_o all_o the_o night_n i_o continue_v weak_a in_o body_n and_o comfortless_a in_o
