incest_n and_o himself_o by_o his_o own_o bowel_n be_v drive_v from_o his_o palace_n into_o the_o field_n of_o the_o wilderness_n remember_v hezekiah_n for_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o who_o heart_n the_o treasure_n must_v be_v carry_v into_o babylon_n remember_v the_o corinthian_n of_o who_o many_o be_v sick_a and_o many_o sleep_v because_o they_o have_v sin_v and_o sleep_v in_o their_o sin_n wherefore_o make_v haste_n run_v to_o god_n right_o early_o acknowledge_v thy_o sin_n against_o thyself_o and_o humble_v thyself_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n that_o in_o due_a time_n he_o may_v exalt_v thou_o that_o be_v the_o only_a right_a exaltation_n which_o be_v do_v by_o god_n and_o humiliation_n of_o thyself_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o it_o but_o a_o exaltation_n of_o thyself_o without_o god_n will_v turn_v to_o a_o humiliation_n by_o god_n if_o not_o a_o confusion_n but_o if_o thou_o wash_v away_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o sorrow_n of_o repentance_n if_o thou_o wash_v away_o the_o pollution_n and_o deformity_n of_o sin_n by_o cleanness_n of_o heart_n and_o rightnesse_n of_o spirit_n then_o may_v thou_o lay_v hold_n on_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n to_o wash_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o thy_o sin_n and_o so_o thou_o be_v whole_o make_v clean_o as_o god_n will_v not_o have_v his_o mercy_n to_o be_v make_v a_o encouragement_n to_o sin_n so_o he_o will_v not_o have_v his_o justice_n to_o be_v a_o discouragement_n to_o they_o that_o turn_v from_o their_o sin_n but_o justice_n belong_v to_o the_o presumptuous_a to_o humble_v they_o and_o mercy_n to_o the_o humble_a and_o break_a heart_v to_o refresh_v they_o come_v therefore_o thou_o that_o be_v heavy_a lade_v which_o feel_v thy_o sin_n as_o a_o burden_n intolerable_a take_v the_o refresh_n which_o belong_v to_o thou_o and_o look_v not_o on_o the_o terror_n of_o justice_n any_o long_o which_o belong_v to_o the_o presumptuous_a and_o not_o to_o thou_o god_n will_v not_o that_o the_o reed_n bruise_v by_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v utter_o break_v but_o that_o it_o be_v heal_v by_o the_o gospel_n god_n aim_n in_o thy_o humble_v be_v not_o despair_v but_o faith_n hope_n and_o love_n his_o end_n be_v thy_o amendment_n and_o not_o thy_o torment_n but_o if_o thou_o doubte_v that_o so_o great_a a_o sin_n have_v cut_v thou_o off_o from_o christ_n and_o therefore_o thou_o dare_v not_o to_o make_v use_n of_o his_o merit_n know_v this_o that_o by_o thy_o faith_n which_o make_v a_o general_a surrender_n of_o thou_o unto_o christ_n thou_o be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n christ_n be_v thou_o and_o thou_o be_v his_o now_o this_o union_n be_v indissoluble_a nothing_o can_v put_v asunder_o what_o god_n have_v thus_o put_v together_o beside_o christ_n in_o his_o union_n with_o thou_o do_v not_o whole_o take_v away_o thy_o wild_a nature_n but_o pour_v in_o a_o godly_a nature_n leave_v also_o some_o remainder_n of_o thy_o former_a wildness_n if_o then_o this_o wild_a

captive_a unto_o the_o execution_n of_o sin_n yet_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n even_o they_o live_v in_o we_o though_o in_o bondage_n for_o the_o time_n and_o grace_n be_v then_o not_o put_v to_o death_n but_o only_o make_v prisoner_n the_o seed_n of_o christ_n remain_v immortal_a he_o be_v still_o in_o thou_o though_o sometime_o thou_o bear_v thy_o own_o fruit_n and_o not_o he_o a_o general_a dominion_n of_o sin_n exclude_v a_o general_a dominion_n of_o christ_n but_o a_o particular_a sin_n may_v yet_o leave_v a_o general_a dominion_n to_o christ._n thou_o mislike_v thyself_o because_o thou_o be_v not_o holy_a in_o all_o thing_n thou_o do_v well_o to_o love_n and_o desire_v perfection_n yet_o though_o thou_o offend_v in_o some_o thing_n do_v not_o despair_v for_o god_n have_v not_o give_v any_o man_n in_o this_o life_n so_o much_o grace_n as_o may_v give_v he_o a_o general_a rest_n from_o sin_n he_o leave_v this_o world_n as_o a_o place_n of_o battle_n and_o combat_n and_o refer_v perfect_a rest_n unto_o the_o world_n to_o come_v now_o the_o same_o god_n though_o in_o justice_n he_o require_v a_o full_a obedience_n yet_o in_o mercy_n he_o accept_v according_a to_o that_o we_o have_v &_o he_o know_v we_o have_v nothing_o but_o what_o we_o have_v receive_v and_o we_o have_v receive_v only_o so_o much_o grace_n as_o may_v exclude_v the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n but_o not_o abolish_v the_o be_v of_o it_o let_v we_o therefore_o not_o so_o much_o busy_v ourselves_o in_o superfluous_a and_o unprofitable_a vexation_n of_o our_o own_o soul_n as_o in_o the_o study_n of_o purge_v ourselves_o from_o our_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v bring_v forth_o more_o fruit_n this_o be_v it_o which_o god_n especial_o look_v for_o after_o sin_n and_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v undeniable_o prove_v to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v still_o the_o lively_a branch_n of_o christ._n a_o man_n servant_n do_v sometime_o his_o own_o work_n yet_o if_o he_o present_o return_v to_o the_o work_n of_o his_o master_n and_o make_v that_o his_o chief_a and_o main_a employment_n he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v his_o servant_n since_o most_o he_o serve_v he_o so_o and_o much_o more_o be_v it_o between_o christ_n and_o we_o we_o be_v his_o though_o sometime_o serve_v ourselves_o especial_o being_n hold_v by_o he_o out_o of_o who_o hand_n nothing_o can_v take_v us._n therefore_o thou_o distress_a soul_n go_v thy_o way_n and_o endeavour_n to_o sin_n no_o more_o and_o then_o thy_o faith_n shall_v make_v thou_o whole_a 10_o the_o devil_n have_v put_v the_o world_n out_o of_o frame_n &_o that_o in_o two_o overspread_a confusion_n one_o be_v sin_n the_o other_o misery_n now_o christ_n come_v to_o unloose_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o perform_v it_o both_o in_o himself_o and_o in_o his_o member_n his_o own_o part_n he_o have_v full_o perfect_v in_o himself_o and_o now_o it_o remain_v that_o we_o join_v with_o he_o to_o perform_v that_o part_n which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o christ_n in_o us._n therefore_o against_o sin_n wherein_o the_o world_n blind_o walk_v let_v we_o oppose_v sanctification_n seek_v to_o place_v it_o in_o the_o stead_n thereof_o both_o in_o ourselves_o and_o other_o against_o misery_n let_v we_o employ_v the_o inward_a &_o outward_a consolation_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o relieve_v refresh_a and_o encourage_v all_o distress_a patient_n this_o must_v we_o do_v yet_o we_o may_v not_o expect_v that_o the_o work_n shall_v be_v perfect_v until_o the_o great_a day_n come_v then_o only_o shall_v be_v a_o pure_a separation_n of_o thing_n now_o confound_v then_o only_o shall_v the_o sin_n and_o misery_n which_o now_o cleave_v to_o the_o saint_n full_o be_v wipe_v away_o and_o then_o shall_v a_o kingdom_n come_v wherein_o holiness_n and_o happiness_n lift_v up_o far_o above_o sin_n and_o misery_n shall_v eternal_o dwell_v together_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o must_v patient_o behold_v many_o crooked_a thing_n which_o no_o man_n can_v make_v straight_o and_o yet_o we_o must_v strive_v to_o reform_v the_o crookedness_n that_o may_v be_v make_v straight_o bless_a be_v we_o if_o when_o our_o lord_n come_v he_o shall_v find_v we_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v have_v our_o part_n in_o the_o sentence_n of_o blessing_n and_o our_o work_n of_o mercy_n &_o righteousness_n shall_v praise_v we_o in_o the_o gate_n of_o

the_o advance_v of_o we_o in_o his_o kingdom_n 11_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n though_o it_o breed_v but_o little_a practice_n that_o we_o shall_v put_v the_o love_n of_o the_o creature_n far_o
