the_o attainment_n of_o knowledge_n because_o than_o they_o be_v and_o shall_v be_v a_o degree_n near_o to_o grace_n &_o comfort_n than_o before_o which_o have_v once_o obtain_v and_o hearty_a prayer_n make_v unto_o god_n for_o the_o sanctify_a use_n continuance_n and_o increase_n thereof_o in_o they_o they_o shall_v no_o doubt_n in_o good_a time_n come_v to_o feeling_n but_o till_o then_o let_v they_o never_o think_v of_o it_o for_o all_o their_o thought_n that_o way_n shall_v be_v but_o lose_v labour_n because_o not_o know_v they_o can_v believe_v for_o how_o can_v any_o man_n be_v persuade_v of_o the_o thing_n he_o know_v not_o and_o for_o the_o other_o i_o will_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n counsel_v they_o never_o to_o think_v of_o sin_n alone_o or_o of_o condemnation_n by_o itself_o or_o of_o their_o own_o unworthiness_n apart_o for_o then_o certain_o they_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v much_o discomfort_a &_o great_o cast_v down_o but_o to_o join_v always_o therewith_o the_o remedy_n that_o god_n have_v provide_v &_o give_v they_o there_o against_o as_o oppose_v against_o sin_n christ_n suffering_n and_o the_o merit_n thereof_o which_o be_v strong_a to_o take_v away_o the_o cause_n can_v but_o utter_o remove_v the_o effect_n that_o be_v condemnation_n and_o to_o oppose_v against_o their_o own_o unworthiness_n the_o worthiness_n of_o he_o that_o have_v deserve_v all_o in_o all_o not_o for_o himself_o for_o he_o need_v no_o merit_n as_o never_o have_v offend_v but_o for_o we_o that_o in_o his_o righteousness_n we_o may_v stand_v pure_a and_o clean_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o then_o no_o doubt_n but_o if_o we_o do_v this_o these_o temptation_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o easy_a and_o the_o soon_o overcome_v special_o if_o we_o adjoine_v therewith_o all_o prayer_n for_o the_o increase_n &_o strengthen_v of_o our_o faith_n to_o apply_v unto_o ourselves_o all_o the_o sweet_a promise_n and_o comfortable_a example_n of_o the_o word_n which_o indeed_o be_v not_o only_o as_o many_o sure_a seal_n and_o pledge_n set_v thereunto_o but_o so_o many_o particular_a document_n to_o instruct_v we_o what_o to_o do_v because_o god_n be_v not_o in_o this_o sort_n or_o sense_n a_o general_a god_n to_o all_o but_o a_o particular_a god_n to_o the_o faithful_a &_o a_o special_a god_n to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o as_o may_v appear_v by_o these_o word_n of_o the_o faithful_a i_o thank_v my_o god_n and_o in_o prayer_n my_o god_n my_o god_n etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o this_o apply_v of_o he_o unto_o ourselves_o do_v not_o straighten_v god_n goodness_n in_o itself_o for_o that_o be_v infinite_o large_a nor_o hinder_v it_o from_o other_o for_o he_o may_v and_o do_v give_v to_o all_o abundant_o and_o yet_o all_o they_o have_v to_o the_o full_a and_o he_o himself_o never_o a_o whit_n the_o less_o therefore_o a_o second_o doctrine_n that_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o hence_o be_v this_o that_o the_o estate_n of_o a_o distress_a and_o a_o afflict_a spirit_n be_v not_o so_o hard_a or_o heavy_a so_o dangerous_a deadly_a or_o desperate_a as_o many_o man_n in_o the_o world_n take_v it_o and_o will_v make_v it_o to_o be_v this_o be_v gather_v from_o hence_o yea_o and_o confirm_v also_o by_o this_o that_o he_o do_v here_o so_o comfortable_o call_v upon_o they_o and_o command_v they_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o which_o if_o they_o have_v be_v past_o hope_n he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v for_o our_o saviour_n have_v not_o do_v or_o say_v any_o thing_n in_o vain_a surely_n nothing_o be_v hide_v from_o he_o he_o know_v their_o estate_n and_o according_o frame_v himself_o thereto_o and_o indeed_o to_o say_v true_a it_o have_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n because_o be_v past_a hope_n it_o shall_v have_v be_v in_o vain_a either_o to_o have_v call_v or_o command_v but_o christ_n show_v rather_o the_o quite_o and_o clean_o contrary_a namely_o that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o comfortable_a as_o we_o may_v perceive_v by_o this_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n so_o tender_o regard_v they_o that_o be_v plunge_v into_o that_o misery_n and_o this_o we_o may_v understand_v also_o by_o many_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o by_o that_o before_o allege_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o this_o must_v of_o necessity_n come_v from_o god_n or_o from_o nature_n that_o which_o be_v from_o god_n be_v as_o himself_o good_a yea_o very_o good_a that_o which_o be_v from_o nature_n be_v as_o nature_n vitiate_a and_o corrupt_a but_o this_o indeed_o be_v no_o natural_a thing_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o this_o that_o nature_n in_o the_o corruption_n of_o it_o rather_o soothe_v man_n in_o sin_n than_o any_o manner_n of_o way_n charge_v they_o withal_o yea_o nature_n be_v so_o far_o from_o work_v it_o that_o it_o rather_o shun_v it_o and_o fly_v from_o it_o as_o a_o most_o grievous_a evil_n and_o beside_o if_o it_o be_v natural_a and_o from_o man_n why_o shall_v not_o all_o be_v exercise_v with_o it_o see_v all_o man_n be_v meerlie_o natural_a and_o have_v alike_o sin_v as_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o taint_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v that_o actual_o all_o man_n have_v not_o sin_v alike_o yet_o since_o every_o man_n in_o his_o measure_n or_o manner_n have_v break_v the_o law_n of_o god_n if_o it_o be_v from_o nature_n it_o will_v follow_v thereupon_o that_o every_o man_n either_o more_o or_o less_o shall_v be_v touch_v therewithal_o because_o every_o man_n have_v more_o or_o less_o sin_v it_o be_v therefore_o from_o god_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o this_o also_o that_o he_o have_v ordain_v many_o mean_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n the_o execution_n of_o judgment_n and_o the_o denounce_v of_o the_o same_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o law_n and_o his_o use_v of_o the_o same_o as_o a_o worthy_a instrument_n to_o bring_v man_n there_o unto_o it_o will_v follow_v thereupon_o that_o it_o can_v be_v but_o good_a because_o nothing_o come_v from_o he_o who_o be_v all_o sovereign_a goodness_n in_o himself_o but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a even_o as_o he_o himself_o be_v and_o if_o it_o be_v good_a as_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v come_v from_o he_o than_o it_o be_v not_o evil_a or_o so_o dangerous_a deadly_a and_o desperate_a as_o many_o man_n make_v it_o beside_o let_v we_o but_o a_o little_a regard_n the_o person_n who_o be_v most_o touch_v therewith_o &_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o they_o be_v the_o dear_a &_o near_a unto_o god_n &_o be_v best_o belove_v of_o he_o among_o the_o father_n under_o the_o law_n be_v any_o more_o excellent_a than_o abraham_n than_o moses_n than_o david_n than_o isaiah_n of_o abraham_n it_o be_v record_v that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a &_o the_o friend_n of_o god_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v affirm_v that_o he_o be_v the_o faithful_a in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o a_o servant_n of_o david_n that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n even_o according_a to_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o how_o much_o be_v every_o one_o of_o these_o humble_v let_v david_n stand_v we_o in_o steed_n of_o al._n how_o many_o not_o only_o here_o and_o there_o sentence_n or_o verse_n throughout_o his_o book_n of_o psalm_n but_o whole_a psalm_n of_o this_o subject_n and_o matter_n plain_o show_v he_o to_o have_v be_v far_o throw_v down_o and_o humble_v to_o reckon_v they_o all_o will_v require_v much_o time_n and_o therefore_o to_o rehearse_v they_o in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n much_o more_o but_o let_v he_o that_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o read_v psal_n 6.13.38.77.102_o &_o 130._o and_o if_o by_o they_o he_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v that_o david_n be_v touch_v to_o the_o quick_a this_o way_n no_o thing_n i_o suppose_v will_v cause_v he_o to_o believe_v it_o under_o the_o gospel_n we_o have_v our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o the_o principal_a preacher_n or_o minister_v thereof_o a_o plain_a pattern_n of_o this_o point_n his_o whole_a life_n be_v lead_v under_o this_o estate_n yea_o and_o as_o we_o may_v say_v lay_v down_o in_o it_o also_o as_o it_o be_v at_o long_a and_o at_o large_a describe_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o evangelist_n and_o this_o argument_n also_o i_o mean_v concern_v the_o humiliation_n of_o our_o saviour_n every_o way_n the_o apostle_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n do_v not_o only_o handle_v in_o the_o six_o or_o seven_o first_o chapter_n of_o that_o his_o epistle_n but_o teach_v god_n people_n to_o make_v special_a use_n thereof_o for_o instruction_n and_o comfort_n and_o if_o any_o will_v imagine_v that_o he_o be_v so_o throw_v down_o because_o he_o be_v best_a yea_o only_a able_a to_o raise_v up_o himself_o and_o other_o also_o let_v we_o turn_v our_o eye_n from_o he_o unto_o other_o and_o
