when_o it_o be_v purge_v and_o pacify_v then_o keep_v it_o clean_o for_o a_o foul_a soul_n be_v always_o a_o trouble_a soul_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v quiet_a yet_o it_o be_v sure_a to_o break_v out_o afterward_o and_o because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o comfort_n than_o there_o be_v care_n of_o duty_n therefore_o together_o with_o innocence_n let_v we_o be_v careful_a of_o all_o duty_n in_o all_o our_o several_a relation_n let_v we_o consider_v in_o what_o relation_n we_o stand_v and_o what_o duty_n we_o owe_v and_o be_v careful_a to_o satisfy_v they_o all_o neglect_v of_o duty_n be_v a_o debt_n and_o debt_n be_v troublesome_a when_o the_o soul_n reflect_v upon_o the_o omission_n of_o a_o necessary_a duty_n i_o owe_v such_o a_o duty_n to_o such_o a_o person_n i_o shall_v have_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n in_o such_o a_o relation_n but_o i_o have_v omit_v it_o it_o be_v a_o disquietment_n and_o that_o upon_o good_a ground_n and_o if_o you_o have_v be_v negligent_a there_o must_v be_v a_o actual_a renew_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o a_o set_n upon_o the_o duty_n with_o fresh_a endeavour_n to_o make_v amends_o for_o former_a negligence_n or_o else_o the_o soul_n shall_v have_v no_o comfort_n nor_o will_v god_n suffer_v it_o to_o admit_v of_o comfort_n and_o therefore_o work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n do_v still_o tremble_v and_o be_v trouble_v with_o this_o doubt_n and_o that_o fear_v be_v because_o their_o salvation_n be_v not_o wrought_v out_o something_o be_v leave_v undo_v and_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o so_o but_o above_o all_o that_o we_o may_v receive_v comfort_n let_v we_o labour_v for_o a_o spirit_n of_o faith_n therefore_o here_o it_o be_v say_v you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o christ_n bring_v they_o to_o faith_n for_o comfort_n and_o he_o set_v down_o a_o a_o double_a object_n of_o faith_n god_n that_o be_v the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a

and_o the_o messiah_n of_o the_o world_n or_o no._n but_o if_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v in_o i_o for_o howsoever_o in_o love_n to_o you_o and_o mankind_n i_o take_v man_n nature_n on_o i_o and_o be_o abase_v yet_o in_o my_o great_a abasement_n remember_v this_o that_o i_o be_o god_n and_o sure_o there_o be_v nothing_o can_v stay_v the_o soul_n more_o especial_o when_o it_o be_v deep_o humble_v then_o to_o consider_v god_n in_o the_o second_o person_n incarnate_a and_o abase_v and_o crucify_v and_o make_v a_o curse_n and_o sin_n for_o we_o to_o see_v the_o great_a god_n of_o

establish_v the_o soul_n indeed_o can_v the_o the_o soul_n think_v that_o this_o be_v do_v for_o any_o small_a or_o to_o little_a purpose_n or_o can_v there_o be_v any_o grief_n or_o sin_n that_o shall_v hinder_v comfort_n or_o persuasion_n of_o the_o possibility_n of_o pardon_n when_o the_o great_a god_n become_v man_n on_o purpose_n to_o die_v for_o sin_n we_o may_v set_v this_o against_o all_o discouragement_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o howsoever_o you_o see_v i_o abase_v yet_o you_o may_v have_v comfort_n in_o my_o abasement_n for_o

at_o that_o he_o rejoice_v in_o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v glory_v in_o anything_o but_o in_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n peace_n of_o conscience_n joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n reconciliation_n and_o title_n to_o happiness_n be_v all_o found_v upon_o christ_n crucify_v and_o then_o again_o you_o see_v he_o join_v both_o together_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n believe_v also_o in_o i_o to_o show_v the_o distinction_n of_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n all_o our_o faith_n be_v resolve_v at_o length_n into_o one_o god_n but_o yet_o withal_o into_o three_o person_n in_o that_o divine_a nature_n because_o as_o there_o be_v god_n the_o father_n offend_v so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o god_n to_o satisfy_v that_o god_n and_o there_o must_v be_v a_o god_n to_o reveal_v and_o apply_v that_o satisfaction_n the_o soul_n be_v so_o full_a of_o doubt_n that_o nothing_o can_v set_v it_o down_o but_o that_o which_o be_v above_o

therefore_o he_o name_v they_o distinct_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n etc._n etc._n and_o because_o we_o can_v believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n but_o by_o believe_v in_o christ_n therefore_o he_o

the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n there_o be_v no_o go_v to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o nothing_o be_v more_o terrible_a then_o to_o conceive_v of_o god_n out_o of_o christ_n for_o so_o he_o be_v
