jesus_n christ_n humble_o to_o praise_n god_n for_o those_o mean_n he_o offer_v in_o mercy_n unto_o you_o and_o to_o use_v they_o in_o faith_n according_o and_o so_o god_n shall_v bless_v you_o by_o they_o and_o then_o by_o such_o conference_n as_o you_o may_v have_v from_o hence_o wherein_o if_o i_o may_v stand_v you_o in_o any_o steed_n rather_o for_o the_o good_a opinion_n you_o have_v of_o i_o then_o for_o any_o great_a matter_n i_o be_o able_a to_o perform_v i_o be_v ready_a to_o offer_v any_o office_n of_o love_n unto_o you_o as_o god_n shall_v enable_v i_o and_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o i_o shall_v be_v at_o any_o time_n instruct_v in_o your_o particular_a estate_n in_o some_o letter_n send_v from_o you_o by_o convenient_a messenger_n i_o perceive_v that_o you_o be_v afflict_v with_o the_o blindenes_n of_o your_o mind_n and_o hardness_n of_o your_o heart_n which_o can_v be_v move_v either_o with_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n mercy_n or_o fear_v of_o his_o judgement_n nor_o affect_v with_o the_o love_n and_o delight_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a nor_o with_o the_o hatred_n and_o loathe_n of_o the_o evil_a great_a cause_n you_o have_v of_o grief_n i_o confess_v but_o no_o cause_n of_o despair_n dare_v i_o grant_v because_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o your_o persuasion_n be_v somewhat_o false_a partly_o for_o want_v of_o a_o sound_n judgement_n of_o your_o estate_n and_o partly_o for_o some_o defect_n of_o faith_n somewhat_o through_o your_o own_o default_n first_o therefore_o know_v you_o for_o certainty_n that_o this_o be_v no_o other_o tentation_n than_o such_o as_o diverse_a of_o god_n child_n have_v be_v humble_v with_o &_o afterward_o have_v have_v a_o good_a issue_n out_o of_o it_o &_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o move_v you_o to_o credit_v i_o myself_o have_v know_v other_o as_o deep_o this_o way_n plunge_v as_o you_o can_v be_v remember_v therefore_o god_n be_v faithful_a who_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o that_o you_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v and_o far_a yet_o to_o confirm_v you_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v show_v that_o this_o way_n god_n heretofore_o have_v humble_v his_o own_o people_n in_o who_o person_n the_o prophet_n esaye_n lamentable_o complain_v esa._n 3._o 15._o o_o lord_n look_v down_o from_o heaven_n behold_v from_o thy_o dwell_a place_n of_o thy_o holiness_n and_o of_o thy_o glory_n where_o be_v thy_o zeal_n &_o thy_o strength_n the_o multitude_n of_o thy_o mercy_n and_o of_o thy_o compassion_n they_o be_v restrain_v from_o i_o and_o afterward_o o_o lord_n why_o have_v thou_o make_v we_o to_o err_v from_o thy_o way_n and_o harden_v our_o heart_n from_o thy_o fear_n and_o in_o the_o next_o chap_v we_o have_v be_v alas_o a_o unclean_a thing_n &_o all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o filthy_a clout_n and_o we_o all_o do_v fade_v as_o a_o lease_n and_o our_o iniquity_n as_o the_o wind_n do_v take_v we_o away_o and_o there_o be_v none_o that_o call_v upon_o thy_o name_n neither_o that_o stir_v up_o himself_o to_o take_v hold_n on_o thou_o for_o thou_o have_v hide_v thy_o face_n from_o we_o &_o consume_v we_o because_o of_o our_o iniquity_n and_o before_o 59_o chap._n 5._o we_o grope_v for_o the_o wall_n like_o the_o blind_a and_o we_o grope_v as_o one_o without_o eye_n we_o roar_v like_o bear_n and_o mourn_v like_o dove_n so_o complain_v ezechias_n in_o the_o bitterness_n of_o his_o soul_n like_o a_o crane_n or_o a_o swallow_v so_o do_v i_o chatter_v i_o do_v mourn_v as_o a_o dove_n and_o when_o david_n cry_v create_v in_o i_o o_o god_n a_o clean_a hart_n renew_v in_o i_o a_o right_a spirit_n restore_v to_o i_o the_o joy_n of_o my_o salvation_n establish_v i_o with_o thy_o free_a spirit_n do_v he_o not_o count_v his_o hart_n unclean_a his_o spirit_n crooked_a the_o joy_n of_o his_o salvation_n lose_v &_o himself_o subject_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n so_o that_o want_v the_o spirit_n of_o liberty_n or_o adoption_n he_o can_v nether_a cry_n abba_n father_n nor_o have_v any_o power_n against_o sin_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o god_n child_n may_v be_v blind_v in_o mind_n &_o harden_v in_o heart_n for_o a_o time_n so_o that_o they_o feel_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o be_v in_o they_o never_o perish_v and_o dead_a farther_o to_o relieve_v the_o infirmity_n of_o your_o judgement_n in_o this_o case_n which_o may_v much_o distress_n you_o know_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o hardness_n of_o heart_n the_o one_o not_o feel_v the_o other_o feel_v and_o of_o the_o former_a the_fw-mi be_v two_o sort_n the_o first_o which_o be_v most_o fearful_a when_o any_o do_v purposely_o and_o wilful_o resist_v the_o motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n &_o mean_n of_o their_o salvation_n of_o which_o the_o prophet_n zachary_n speak_v 7._o 11._o they_o refuse_v to_o harken_v &_o pull_v away_o their_o shoulder_v &_o stop_v their_o ear_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o hear_v yea_o they_o make_v their_o heart_n as_o a_o adamant_n stone_n lest_o they_o shall_v hear_v the_o law_n &_o the_o word_n which_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n send_v in_o his_o spirit_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o former_a prophet_n the_o outrageous_a sin_n of_o these_o man_n the_o prophet_n esay_n express_v in_o their_o own_o fearful_a term_n 28._o 15._o we_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o death_n and_o with_o

be_v we_o hide_v this_o be_v a_o fearful_a estate_n indeed_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o no_o man_n can_v say_v but_o some_o of_o those_o may_v be_v and_o be_v afterward_o convert_v the_o other_o kind_n of_o hardness_n of_o hart_n which_o be_v not_o feel_v nor_o perceyve_v or_o be_v perceive_v yet_o not_o feel_v albeit_o it_o be_v less_o fearful_a yet_o it_o be_v dangerous_a enough_o be_v in_o such_o as_o although_o they_o wilful_o resist_v not_o god_n spirit_n in_o good_a mean_n yet_o secure_o &_o willing_o they_o lie_v in_o sin_n without_o any_o remorse_n of_o it_o or_o true_a taste_n of_o good_a thing_n such_o be_v david_n his_o estate_n for_o the_o space_n of_o a_o year_n before_o nathan_n the_o prophet_n come_v to_o reprove_v he_o &_o rouse_v he_o from_o his_o lull_a sleep_n both_o these_o kind_n i_o be_o persuade_v you_o be_v free_a from_o otherwise_o th●n_v in_o temptation_n satan_n may_v sometime_o move_v you_o thereunto_o the_o other_o kind_n of_o hardness_n of_o heart_n which_o be_v perceive_v &_o feel_v be_v of_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o in_o they_o which_o be_v desirous_a of_o mean_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v relieve_v although_o they_o find_v small_a or_o no_o

after_o nathan_n reprove_v he_o &_o god_n spirit_n begin_v to_o work_v with_o he_o that_o he_o cry_v out_o as_o you_o hear_v before_o of_o the_o loss_n of_o god_n grace_n &_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o no_o sacrifice_n nor_o petition_n without_o a_o contrite_a hart_n &_o break_a spirit_n he_o show_v that_o for_o a_o time_n even_o after_o the_o prophet_n have_v reprove_v he_o he_o wate_v both_o this_o be_v your_o case_n &_o therefore_o you_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o salvation_n for_o david_n be_v in_o this_o case_n even_o after_o he_o have_v confess_v his_o sin_n as_o my_o trust_n be_v you_o do_v &_o be_v certain_o persuade_v of_o the_o pardonablenesse_n of_o it_o through_o god_n mercy_n although_o he_o be_v far_o off_o from_o the_o feel_n it_o or_o apply_v
