by_o the_o child_n of_o the_o kingdom_n not_o those_o that_o have_v heaven_n prepare_v for_o they_o but_o the_o profess_v jew_n who_o be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o the_o kingdom_n because_o they_o

to_o gain_v what_o you_o have_v lose_v be_v to_o mourn_v over_o your_o loss_n jer._n 31.18_o 19_o 20._o see_v how_o ephraim_n come_v to_o have_v his_o comfort_n restore_v when_o he_o weep_v over_o

after_o he_o have_v lose_v his_o comfort_n by_o that_o great_a sin_n of_o adultery_n make_v seven_o penitential_a psalm_n psalm_n of_o lamentation_n or_o repentance_n and_o he_o call_v one_o of_o

those_o sin_n that_o may_v provoke_v god_n to_o take_v away_o his_o comfort_n from_o he_o so_o belove_v let_v it_o be_v your_o work_n to_o make_v such_o psalm_n in_o your_o closet_n and_o make_v it_o

upon_o pray_v work_n this_o course_n you_o sinde_v david_n take_v psal_n 51.8_o make_v i_o o_o lord_n to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o joy_n and_o gladness_n that_o the_o bone_n which_o thou_o have_v break_v may_v rejoice_v create_v in_o i_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o establish_v i_o with_o thy_o free_a spirit_n verse_n 12._o here_o you_o read_v of_o david_n pray_v work_n how_o he_o pour_v forth_o his_o soul_n in_o prayer_n that_o god_n will_v restore_v to_o he_o the_o joy_n of_o his_o salvation_n and_o here_o in_o your_o pray_a work_n i_o will_v only_o cast_v in_o three_o direction_n first_o pray_v for_o a_o distinct_a sight_n of_o those_o evil_n that_o provoke_v god_n to_o take_v your_o comfort_n from_o you_o second_o after_o you_o have_v get_v a_o sight_n bend_v the_o strength_n of_o your_o prayer_n most_o against_o those_o evil_n that_o do_v so_o provoke_v god_n to_o cloud_v your_o comfort_n pray_v against_o they_o as_o against_o the_o deadly_a enemy_n you_o have_v in_o the_o

to_o have_v your_o comfort_n restore_v four_o set_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o meditation_n and_o in_o this_o work_n i_o shall_v commend_v four_o meditation_n you_o be_v to_o take_v into_o your_o thought_n which_o may_v be_v very_o helpful_a and_o useful_a to_o you_o in_o restore_v your_o comfort_n as_o first_o let_v your_o meditation_n run_v upon_o this_o that_o sometime_o you_o be_v not_o so_o competent_a judge_n of_o your_o own_o spiritual_a estate_n as_o other_o may_v be_v as_o first_o in_o a_o time_n of_o desertion_n when_o god_n have_v leave_v you_o and_o frown_n upon_o you_o second_o in_o time_n of_o temptation_n when_o the_o devil_n temptation_n be_v violent_a against_o you_o three_o in_o time_n of_o relapse_n when_o you_o be_v fall_v into_o some_o great_a sin_n at_o this_o time_n you_o be_v not_o so_o competent_a judge_n of_o your_o own_o estate_n but_o stander_n by_o may_v see_v more_o of_o your_o own_o good_a and_o your_o own_o sincerity_n than_o yourselves_o may_v do_v as_o the_o proverb_n be_v many_o tim●s_v looker_n on_z see_v more_o than_o he_o that_o play_v the_o game_n it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o a_o looker_n on_o may_v see_v sincerity_n sparkle_v in_o thy_o practice_n and_o thy_o grace_n shine_v in_o thy_o conversation_n when_o thou_o can_v not_o do_v it_o thyself_o a_o child_n when_o it_o blubber_n and_o cry_n can_v see_v nothing_o of_o his_o

by_o the_o testimony_n of_o a_o company_n of_o godly_a minister_n that_o they_o can_v lay_v their_o soul_n in_o his_o soul_n stead_n let_v this_o therefore_o run_v in_o your_o meditation_n that_o many_o time_n stander_n by_o and_o christian_n that_o behold_v your_o walking_n and_o see_v your_o action_n they_o may_v see_v more_o ground_n of_o comfort_n in_o you_o then_o yourselves_o can_v do_v

do_v i_o gain_v my_o comfort_n in_o year_n past_a do_v i_o gain_v my_o comfort_n by_o godly_a sorrow_n and_o by_o lament_v after_o god_n and_o by_o mourning_n over_o those_o abominable_a fail_n in_o
