contrary_n therefore_o in_o 2_o tim._n 4.22_o 4.22_o paul_n pray_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v with_o thy_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v this_o be_v the_o great_a mercy_n that_o i_o

a_o little_a further_o and_o to_o make_v this_o plain_a to_o you_o you_o shall_v see_v it_o in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o because_o all_o other_o thing_n as_o riches_n poverty_n health_n sickness_n etc._n etc._n he_o dispense_v these_o promiscuous_o so_o he_o give_v riches_n to_o wicked_a man_n etc._n etc._n because_o as_o it_o be_v eccles._n 9.1_o 9.1_o his_o love_n or_o hatred_n can_v be_v know_v by_o these_o thing_n whence_o i_o reason_n thus_o that_o wherein_o the_o love_n and_o hatred_n of_o god_n be_v most_o see_v therein_o his_o providence_n chief_o exercise_v itself_o but_o in_o the_o fashion_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n there_o and_o there_o chief_o be_v his_o providence_n see_v for_o other_o thing_n come_v alike_o to_o man_n to_o he_o that_o sacrifice_v and_o to_o he_o that_o sacrifice_v not_o 2._o the_o dispose_n of_o other_o thing_n be_v much_o in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n a_o prince_n or_o a_o man_n have_v power_n to_o kill_v or_o to_o save_v he_o can_v give_v riches_n and_o honour_n and_o take_v they_o away_o at_o his_o pleasure_n but_o to_o rule_v the_o spirit_n to_o compose_v and_o guide_v the_o apprehension_n and_o affection_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o belong_v to_o god_n alone_o a_o man_n be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o do_v it_o than_o to_o rule_v the_o rage_a sea_n for_o as_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n alone_o to_o compose_v the_o wind_n and_o to_o rule_v the_o wave_n so_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o he_o alone_o to_o rule_v the_o turbulent_a affection_n to_o compose_v and_o guide_v they_o if_o there_o be_v any_o disorder_a affection_n in_o the_o heart_n as_o a_o immoderate_a love_n of_o any_o thing_n or_o a_o impatient_a desire_n to_o any_o thing_n who_o be_v able_a to_o remove_v it_o but_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n so_o who_o can_v implant_v holy_a affection_n in_o thou_o but_o he_o alone_o as_o for_o example_n to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n a_o man_n can_v do_v it_o without_o he_o who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o spirit_n so_o to_o persuade_v a_o man_n no_o man_n can_v do_v it_o it_o must_v be_v the_o lord_n as_o noah_n say_v god_n shall_v persuade_v laphet_n to_o dwell_v in_o the_o tent_n of_o sem._n so_o to_o see_v the_o heinousness_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o evil_a of_o it_o no_o man_n can_v do_v it_o but_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v say_v john_n 16.9_o 16.9_o the_o spirit_n convince_v man_n of_o sinne._n so_o to_o will_v this_o or_o that_o which_o be_v good_a it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n a_o man_n can_v choose_v but_o be_v swallow_v up_o with_o worldly_a grief_n except_o god_n keep_v he_o he_o can_v choose_v but_o fear_v the_o face_n of_o man_n except_o god_n assist_v he_o for_o this_o be_v one_o of_o god_n prerogative_n royal_a to_o rule_v in_o the_o affection_n and_o apprehension_n of_o man_n 3_o because_o the_o guide_n of_o a_o man_n spirit_n be_v of_o the_o great_a consequence_n of_o all_o other_o thing_n else_o now_o god_n be_v a_o wise_a commander_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v not_o exert_v and_o put_v forth_o his_o power_n but_o in_o thing_n of_o great_a moment_n but_o the_o guide_n of_o our_o affection_n be_v all_o in_o all_o to_o we_o for_o in_o a_o man_n outward_a estate_n what_o thing_n soever_o befall_v he_o all_o be_v nothing_o but_o what_o his_o apprehension_n be_v of_o they_o and_o how_o he_o be_v affect_v to_o they_o make_v they_o cross_n or_o comfort_n if_o a_o man_n spirit_n be_v whole_a the_o great_a cross_n be_v nothing_o and_o the_o least_o be_v intolerable_a if_o his_o spirit_n be_v break_v as_o again_o what_o be_v all_o pleasant_a thing_n if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o a_o heart_n to_o apprehend_v they_o as_o to_o paul_n what_o be_v all_o his_o persecution_n as_o long_o as_o his_o spirit_n be_v whole_a within_o he_o he_o carry_v it_o out_o well_o and_o what_o be_v paradise_n to_o adam_n and_o a_o kingdom_n to_o ahab_n when_o their_o spirit_n be_v break_v it_o be_v the_o apprehension_n that_o make_v every_o thing_n to_o a_o man_n heavy_a or_o unheavy_a pleasant_a or_o unpleasant_a sweet_a or_o sour_a and_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o use_n to_o be_v

between_o and_o hinder_v he_o in_o work_v but_o what_o he_o will_v do_v he_o do_v and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o fear_v before_o he_o and_o to_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o power_n and_o to_o know_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o see_v he_o be_v so_o absolute_a and_o wonderful_a in_o all_o his_o work_n hence_o likewise_o it_o follow_v 3._o that_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v equal_a among_o themselves_o etc._n not_o one_o high_a than_o another_o or_o large_a than_o another_o for_o if_o he_o be_v simple_a and_o there_o be_v not_o two_o thing_n in_o he_o than_o his_o attribute_n or_o his_o essence_n and_o himself_o be_v the_o same_o and_o if_o so_o one_o can_v exceed_v another_o his_o mercy_n be_v not_o beyond_o his_o justice_n nor_o his_o justice_n beyond_o his_o wisdom_n therefore_o though_o he_o do_v put_v forth_o one_o attribute_n now_o another_o then_o yet_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o his_o mercy_n be_v great_a than_o all_o his_o attribute_n therefore_o that_o place_n in_o the_o psalmist_n his_o mercy_n be_v above_o all_o his_o work_n be_v common_o misunderstand_v the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o his_o mercy_n exceed_v all_o his_o other_o attribute_n but_o that_o his_o mercy_n be_v over_o and_o upon_o all_o his_o work_n as_o the_o warmth_n of_o the_o hen_n be_v over_o all_o the_o egg_n to_o warm_v and_o cherish_v and_o hatch_v they_o so_o god_n mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n to_o cherish_v and_o nourish_v and_o perfect_v they_o that_o be_v it_o be_v show_v forth_o upon_o they_o all_o for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o comparative_a speech_n as_o if_o his_o mercy_n do_v exceed_v all_o his_o other_o attribute_n for_o if_o all_o his_o attribute_n be_v himself_o they_o must_v be_v equal_a there_o be_v no_o difference_n in_o regard_n of_o height_n or_o largeness_n between_o they_o and_o thus_o the_o place_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v for_o so_o the_o word_n signify_v in_o the_o original_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o common_a acception_n so_o much_o for_o the_o consectary_n now_o we_o will_v come_v to_o use_n of_o practice_n use_v 1_o 1._o if_o simplicity_n be_v one_o of_o god_n excellency_n then_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o come_v as_o near_o to_o it_o as_o we_o can_v by_o bring_v our_o heart_n to_o be_v content_a with_o a_o simplicity_n of_o condition_n condition_n for_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a rule_n the_o more_o composition_n the_o more_o weakness_n the_o more_o impediment_n and_o withal_o the_o more_o exposednesse_n to_o dissolution_n and_o decay_n therefore_o god_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o weakness_n and_o impediment_n in_o work_v because_o he_o be_v most_o simple_a not_o have_v essence_n and_o faculty_n so_o that_o any_o thing_n shall_v come_v between_o and_o hinder_v he_o and_o therefore_o also_o be_v he_o not_o capable_a of_o dissolution_n &_o therefore_o the_o near_a any_o come_v to_o this_o simplicity_n they_o be_v as_o i_o say_v less_o weak_a less_o subject_a to_o impediment_n and_o destruction_n and_o the_o safe_a and_o strong_a and_o happy_a they_o be_v as_o for_o example_n the_o angel_n so_o far_o as_o they_o fall_v short_a of_o the_o
