which_o will_v abide_v for_o ever_o with_o we_o then_o let_v we_o mark_v these_o rule_n which_o put_v a_o plain_a difference_n between_o they_o first_o we_o must_v mark_v that_o enlighten_v and_o insight_n we_o have_v in_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n centaine_v it_o be_v that_o both_o the_o godly_a and_o wicked_a be_v enlighten_v but_o the_o enlighten_v of_o the_o godly_a be_v one_o and_o the_o insight_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v a_o other_o for_o that_o knowledge_n and_o insight_n which_o the_o godly_a have_v receive_v be_v certain_a and_o distinct_a and_o therefore_o in_o particular_a thing_n they_o be_v able_a to_o apply_v the_o threaten_n of_o god_n judgement_n to_o the_o humble_v of_o themselves_o and_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o comfort_v themselves_o again_o their_o knowledge_n be_v sufficient_a to_o direct_v they_o both_o general_o and_o in_o every_o particular_a duty_n and_o last_o of_o all_o it_o never_o sail_v they_o but_o direct_v they_o unto_o the_o end_n but_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o so_o for_o it_o be_v confuse_v general_a and_o uncertain_a and_o therefore_o though_o they_o have_v a_o general_a knowledge_n of_o the_o threaten_n and_o of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n yet_o can_v they_o not_o make_v particular_a use_n of_o the_o same_o their_o knowledge_n be_v insufficient_a nor_o able_a to_o direct_v they_o in_o their_o particular_a action_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v leave_v they_o in_o the_o end_n therefore_o as_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o godly_a for_o the_o clearness_n the_o certainty_n and_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o sun_n so_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v compare_v to_o the_o lightning_n which_o do_v not_o give_v any_o certain_a light_n it_o do_v not_o continue_v any_o time_n and_o when_o it_o be_v go_v man_n be_v worse_o than_o they_o be_v before_o so_o do_v it_o fall_v out_o with_o the_o wicked_a for_o beside_o that_o their_o knowledge_n do_v soon_o vanish_v there_o be_v also_o in_o they_o afterwards_o great_a and_o more_o dangerous_a darkness_n then_o there_o be_v before_o herein_o than_o we_o do_v see_v one_o plain_a and_o manifest_a note_n of_o difference_n second_o we_o come_v to_o our_o affection_n certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o wicked_a do_v desire_v the_o help_n and_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n but_o look_v to_o the_o cause_n and_o that_o will_v show_v a_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o the_o godly_a the_o wicked_a do_v only_o seek_v help_n because_o of_o some_o extremity_n which_o they_o suffer_v they_o only_o desire_v to_o be_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n because_o they_o will_v be_v free_v from_o grief_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v common_a with_o they_o to_o say_v oh_o that_o i_o be_v out_o of_o this_o pain_n oh_o that_o this_o my_o sorrow_n be_v take_v from_o i_o by_o which_o speech_n they_o show_v that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v at_o rest_n or_o live_v at_o their_o case_n they_o will_v little_o weigh_v of_o the_o help_n or_o favour_n of_o god_n but_o the_o godly_a find_v such_o sweetness_n in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n that_o for_o the_o desire_n thereof_o they_o can_v be_v content_a to_o forgo_v all_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n yea_o they_o can_v be_v content_a to_o suffer_v much_o and_o endure_v the_o cross_n patient_o so_o that_o at_o the_o last_o they_o may_v assure_o enjoy_v god_n favour_n not_o the_o godly_a only_o but_o the_o wicked_a also_o be_v grieve_v when_o they_o have_v sin_v but_o the_o wicked_a do_v therefore_o sorrow_n because_o their_o sin_n have_v or_o will_v bring_v some_o punishment_n upon_o they_o and_o the_o godly_a sorrow_n because_o they_o have_v offend_v god_n and_o give_v he_o occasion_n to_o draw_v his_o favour_n from_o they_o therefore_o his_o correction_n do_v they_o bear_v patient_o but_o the_o remembrance_n of_o their_o sin_n that_o touch_v they_o still_o at_o the_o very_a quick_a then_o in_o their_o joy_n and_o in_o thei●_n sorrow_n may_v appear_v a_o second_o difference_n the_o third_o difference_n be_v in_o love_n for_o though_o both_o of_o they_o do_v love_n god_n yet_o it_o be_v after_o a_o diverse_a manner_n the_o one_o of_o sincerity_n the_o other_o for_o wage_n a_o poor_a child_n that_o be_v take_v up_o feed_v and_o clothe_v will_v love_v he_o that_o do_v thus_o feed_v and_o clothe_v he_o but_o if_o he_o receive_v no_o more_o of_o that_o man_n then_o of_o another_o he_o will_v like_v he_o and_o love_v he_o no_o better_o than_o another_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o wicked_a if_o their_o belly_n be_v fill_v their_o barn_n stuff_v and_o they_o have_v their_o heart_n desire_n they_o love_v god_n indeed_o but_o yet_o only_o for_o their_o belly_n and_o their_o barn_n thus_o do_v
