and_o then_o in_o discontent_n and_o in_o hatred_n and_o then_o in_o hardness_n of_o heart_n the_o lord_n rebuke_v he_o and_o yet_o his_o heart_n be_v so_o hard_o that_o still_o he_o go_v on_o in_o evil_a then_o he_o murder_v his_o brother_n and_o last_o he_o despair_v 4.13_o gen._n 4.13_o my_o sin_n be_v great_a say_v his_o conscience_n then_o can_v be_v forgive_v he_o think_v god_n can_v not_o find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o forgive_v he_o so_o when_o man_n sin_n and_o sin_n and_o the_o lord_n do_v rebuke_v they_o and_o yet_o they_o do_v sin_n and_o their_o conscience_n do_v check_v they_o and_o yet_o they_o go_v on_o at_o last_o they_o come_v to_o have_v secret_a despair_n in_o their_o heart_n that_o god_n now_o will_v not_o look_v towards_o they_o whereas_o if_o yet_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o stoop_v to_o jesus_n christ_n they_o may_v be_v forgive_v 2._o a_o second_o cause_n of_o despair_v be_v multitude_n of_o temptation_n indeed_o the_o godly_a shall_v not_o be_v so_o apt_a to_o think_v themselves_o forsake_v of_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o temptation_n as_o sometime_o they_o be_v they_o shall_v rather_o count_v it_o joy_n as_o james_n speak_v chap._n 1.2_o but_o yet_o many_o of_o the_o wicked_a despair_n final_o by_o this_o mean_n because_o they_o do_v so_o often_o fall_v into_o temptation_n therefore_o they_o conclude_v they_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n 3._o ignorance_n of_o god_n word_n when_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o sin_n meet_v with_o mind_n not_o instruct_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o reconciliation_n by_o christ_n this_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o despair_n 4._o so_o also_o enure_v custom_n of_o sin_v be_v another_o cause_n when_o man_n be_v often_o quicken_v and_o grow_v dead_a again_o then_o quicken_v again_o for_o a_o fit_a and_o then_o harden_v again_o in_o the_o end_n they_o fall_v to_o despair_v these_o and_o the_o like_a be_v the_o cause_n of_o despair_a conscience_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v also_o the_o second_o thing_n propound_v to_o be_v handle_v namely_o the_o sundry_a degree_n of_o trouble_a conscience_n iii_o the_o three_o thing_n be_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o trouble_a conscience_n in_o the_o godly_a and_o in_o the_o wicked_a the_o conscience_n of_o god_n child_n may_v be_v trouble_v and_o be_v many_o time_n and_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o wicked_a they_o be_v trouble_v too_o now_o the_o question_n be_v how_o do_v they_o differ_v i_o answer_v 1._o that_o trouble_n in_o the_o conscience_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v accompany_v with_o impenitency_n and_o sometime_o with_o blasphemy_n i_o will_v i_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v god_n say_v francis_n spira_n like_o those_o in_o the_o revelation_n who_o blaspheme_v god_n because_o of_o their_o torment_n sometime_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o curse_n as_o isai_n 8.21_o sometime_o with_o infinite_a murmur_a but_o in_o god_n child_n it_o be_v not_o so_o when_o their_o conscience_n be_v trouble_v they_o justify_v god_n and_o clear_a god_n and_o give_v he_o the_o glory_n of_o all_o and_o submit_v under_o his_o hand_n and_o subdue_v their_o heart_n unto_o he_o as_o david_n in_o his_o trouble_n do_v not_o fret_v and_o murmur_v against_o god_n but_o say_v he_o if_o god_n have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o i_o lo_o 15.26_o 2._o sam._n 15.26_o here_o i_o be_o let_v he_o do_v with_o i_o what_o seem_v he_o good_a so_o that_o the_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n in_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o wicked_a do_v much_o differ_v in_o this_o first_o respect_n 2._o the_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n in_o the_o wicked_a arise_v only_o from_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o fear_n of_o judgement_n for_o sin_n not_o for_o the_o sin_n itself_o and_o from_o the_o love_n of_o holiness_n but_o that_o in_o god_n child_n arise_v chief_o for_o sin_n and_o the_o want_n of_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n love_n unto_o they_o how_o long_o will_v thou_o forget_v i_o o_o lord_n for_o ever_o how_o long_o will_v thou_o hide_v thy_o face_n from_o i_o psal_n 13.1_o mark_v whence_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o psalmist_n come_v this_o be_v his_o trouble_n that_o god_n do_v hide_v his_o face_n 3._o trouble_v of_o conscience_n in_o the_o wicked_a never_o make_v they_o part_n with_o sin_n never_o breed_v a_o hatred_n of_o sin_n in_o they_o but_o that_o in_o god_n child_n do_v true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o wicked_a man_n trouble_a conscience_n may_v make_v he_o vomit_v up_o his_o sin_n like_o a_o dog_n that_o vomit_v up_o his_o troublesome_a meat_n but_o he_o do_v not_o vomit_v up_o his_o stomach_n to_o that_o meat_n for_o when_o the_o trouble_n be_v over_o he_o return_v to_o his_o vomit_n again_o so_o a_o carnal_a man_n return_v to_o his_o deadness_n of_o heart_n again_o and_o to_o his_o security_n again_o when_o the_o trouble_n be_v over_o pharaoh_n while_o his_o conscience_n be_v trouble_v at_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n judgement_n o_o then_o say_v he_o i_o have_v sin_v i_o pray_v moses_n let_v
