persecution_n which_o ordinary_o be_v term_v flood_n can_v drown_v or_o overwhelm_v this_o love_n not_o wash_v it_o away_o or_o bear_v it_o down_o affliction_n can_v do_v it_o though_o they_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v as_o water_n to_o quench_v it_o and_o which_o quench_v the_o love_n of_o many_o false_a spouse_n but_o as_o the_o stone_n asbestus_n be_v once_o fire_v can_v never_o be_v put_v out_o by_o any_o force_n though_o it_o consume_v itself_o so_o be_v it_o with_o this_o marriage-knot_n this_o heat_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n when_o once_o it_o be_v hot_a

of_o destruction_n that_o never_o go_v out_o nor_o yet_o can_v the_o flood_n drown_v it_o flood_n be_v both_o deep_a water_n and_o violent_a water_n for_o those_o two_o thing_n be_v include_v in_o a_o flood_n beside_o water_n namely_o depth_n and_o violence_n of_o water_n some_o thing_n can_v be_v drown_v because_o the_o water_n be_v not_o deep_a enough_o other_o thing_n because_o the_o water_n be_v not_o strong_a enough_o by_o its_o force_n of_o run_v to_o bear_v they_o down_o but_o when_o these_o two_o depth_n and_o force_n meet_v in_o one_o water_n that_o water_n of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o drown_v so_o be_v it_o with_o evil_n some_o evil_n be_v not_o deep_a enough_o to_o swallow_v up_o those_o that_o lie_v under_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o hazard_v not_o their_o love_n much_o or_o if_o they_o be_v deep_a yet_o not_o violent_a enough_o but_o creep_v on_o man_n insensible_o and_o so_o they_o keep_v some_o strength_n against_o they_o that_o they_o be_v not_o overcome_v by_o they_o as_o sickness_n come_v more_o insensible_o and_o slow_o because_o not_o deep_o root_v be_v oftentimes_o wrought_v out_o by_o the_o natural_a strength_n or_o at_o least_o not_o so_o troublesome_a to_o nature_n whereas_o those_o that_o be_v deep_a and_o strong_a to_o overthrow_v the_o body_n and_o lay_v it_o in_o the_o dust_n so_o be_v it_o with_o some_o man_n they_o can_v endure_v affliction_n and_o many_o but_o if_o deep_a and_o violent_a evil_n as_o persecution_n if_o not_o by_o the_o length_n yet_o by_o the_o soarnesse_n and_o violence_n they_o make_v the_o love_n of_o man_n to_o moulder_v away_o to_o nothing_o continual_a shame_n it_o may_v be_v by_o ordinary_a man_n fellow_n do_v but_o shake_v it_o but_o the_o deep_a reproach_n and_o violent_a injury_n of_o great_a one_o drown_v all_o by_o take_v away_o their_o foot_n that_o hold_v they_o have_v of_o christ_n because_o it_o be_v not_o deep_o root_v so_o that_o they_o which_o be_v not_o able_a to_o stand_v against_o the_o flood_n but_o their_o love_n be_v drown_v quite_o and_o overwhelm_v in_o they_o that_o it_o rise_v no_o more_o be_v no_o true_a but_o false_a spouse_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o to_o shut_v these_o two_o up_o together_o we_o may_v see_v it_o in_o that_o of_o our_o saviour_n of_o the_o stony_a ground_n which_o when_o 21._o matth._n 13._o 21._o tribulation_n or_o persecution_n come_v be_v offend_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o man_n which_o seem_v spouse_n to_o christ_n and_o be_v not_o some_o that_o take_v he_o for_o better_a only_o and_o not_o for_o worse_a for_o when_o the_o worse_a tribulation_n or_o persecution_n come_v they_o fall_v away_o other_o that_o have_v a_o little_a fast_o hold_v on_o he_o but_o not_o in_o the_o right_n spouse-like_a affection_n for_o when_o persecution_n come_v though_o tribulation_n do_v not_o shake_v their_o love_n they_o fall_v away_o for_o so_o the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o one_o of_o the_o two_o either_o tribulation_n or_o affliction_n divide_v they_o from_o their_o suppose_a husband_n that_o they_o can_v stand_v against_o the_o flood_n whether_o then_o if_o thou_o can_v stand_v against_o the_o water_n yet_o can_v thou_o stand_v against_o the_o flood_n be_v thou_o so_o deep_a and_o strong_a in_o love_n as_o not_o to_o be_v cover_v and_o bear_v down_o by_o the_o depth_n and_o violence_n of_o persecution_n for_o they_o that_o be_v right_o espouse_v to_o christ_n will_v hold_v he_o for_o better_a for_o worse_o yea_o in_o the_o worst_a that_o can_v come_v last_o the_o last_o sign_n of_o a_o right_n conjugal_a love_n be_v to_o deny_v all_o affection_n to_o any_o other_o that_o will_v unjust_o have_v it_o she_o that_o be_v a_o wife_n tie_v to_o her_o husband_n in_o a_o right_a choice_n and_o affection_n so_o as_o to_o take_v he_o not_o by_o constraint_n but_o pure_o from_o love_n will_v let_v her_o love_n stir_v to_o no_o

to_o the_o world_n for_o that_o be_v to_o deny_v ourselves_o when_o natural_a corruption_n will_v fain_o move_v too_o and_o ask_v leave_v to_o go_v out_o to_o the_o world_n for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o that_o old_a self_n but_o spouse-like_a affection_n say_v not_o you_o shall_v not_o move_v to_o pleasure_n you_o shall_v not_o go_v to_o credit_v you_o shall_v not_o run_v to_o profit_v again_o no_o i_o be_o espouse_v to_o jesus_n christ_n he_o it_o be_v that_o have_v my_o love_n i_o dare_v not_o give_v it_o to_o any_o other_o beside_o he_o have_v i_o give_v my_o heart_n and_o i_o will_v keep_v it_o for_o he_o as_o a_o spouse_n may_v have_v such_o motion_n rise_v up_o to_o the_o beauty_n and_o excellency_n of_o other_o which_o otherwise_o she_o can_v like_v well_o enough_o but_o because_o she_o have_v give_v he_o her_o love_n she_o reject_v such_o motion_n as_o not_o fit_a for_o her_o condition_n so_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v espouse_v to_o christ_n may_v have_v such_o unchaste_a
