god_n have_v not_o mix_v a_o discovery_n of_o love_n with_o majesty_n i_o can_v not_o have_v be_v able_a to_o endure_v the_o sight_n of_o his_o glory_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o best_a way_n for_o a_o soul_n in_o this_o case_n to_o beg_v earnest_o for_o a_o discovery_n of_o love_n and_o majesty_n leave_v it_o to_o the_o wise_a god_n who_o know_v how_o to_o compound_v these_o together_o for_o the_o comfort_n and_o establishment_n of_o his_o saint_n to_o measure_v out_o the_o degree_n of_o they_o oh_o i_o can_v i_o can_v but_o admire_v the_o greatness_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n and_o the_o poorness_n and_o meanness_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o i_o can_v set_v my_o seal_n to_o that_o truth_n that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o ask_v aright_o xi_o that_o afternoon_n go_v to_o a_o friend_n with_o who_o we_o meet_v some_o other_o who_o discourse_v of_o the_o aspersion_n which_o carnal_a man_n cast_v upon_o our_o meeting_n call_v we_o blockhead_n sot_n despiser_n of_o learning_n my_o heart_n do_v fly_v out_o into_o vanity_n in_o laugh_v at_o such_o thing_n which_o shall_v rather_o have_v draw_v out_o my_o soul_n to_o mourning_n and_o sigh_v to_o consider_v how_o my_o god_n who_o i_o profess_v so_o much_o love_n to_o shall_v be_v dishonour_v by_o wicked_a man_n after_o which_o be_v come_v home_o i_o be_v dead_a in_o prayer_n which_o i_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o check_n to_o the_o lightness_n of_o my_o spirit_n yet_o before_o i_o go_v to_o bed_n god_n do_v as_o eminent_o raise_v i_o and_o draw_v i_o out_o in_o melt_n for_o that_o forementioned_a vanity_n that_o i_o can_v not_o but_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n help_v i_o with_o sigh_n and_o groan_v unutterable_a for_o my_o heart_n be_v so_o full_a that_o i_o can_v not_o utter_v it_o in_o word_n i_o be_v very_o much_o humble_v and_o true_o i_o may_v say_v to_o his_o honour_n god_n do_v lift_v up_o my_o soul_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n above_o my_o humiliation_n so_o that_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o nothing_o but_o as_o give_v in_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o christ_n oh_o my_o soul_n praise_v the_o lord_n xii_o it_o be_v very_o natural_a for_o young_a convert_v to_o think_v they_o be_v

come_v with_o power_n they_o terrify_v and_o then_o those_o that_o have_v they_o desire_v hearty_o they_o may_v be_v off_o again_o instance_n o._n again_o what_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n and_o

one_o as_o bad_a for_o in_o cherish_v of_o such_o doubt_n thou_o cherish_v unbelief_n and_o i_o dare_v say_v there_o be_v no_o sin_n do_v more_o vail_n that_o mystery_n of_o justification_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n unto_o himself_o than_o unbelief_n we_o be_v to_o live_v upon_o christ_n above_o all_o fear_n and_o be_v not_o to_o cherish_v a_o doubt_n any_o more_o than_o a_o temptation_n xiii_o object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v what_o use_n shall_v we_o then_o make_v of_o the_o examination_n of_o our_o heart_n answ_n this_o shall_v be_v the_o use_n by_o it_o learn_v thy_o own_o misery_n that_o by_o the_o sight_n of_o it_o thou_o may_v the_o more_o exalt_v freegrace_n for_o this_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o exalt_v the_o love_n and_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o order_n to_o which_o man_n self_n must_v be_v abase_v now_o by_o this_o abasement_n be_v not_o mean_v a_o sorrowful_a trouble_a and_o vexatious_a temper_n but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v join_v with_o humility_n and_o for_o tear_n sob_n and_o sigh_n they_o be_v but_o accidental_a or_o rather_o a_o consequent_a of_o this_o humiliation_n and_o self-abasement_n and_o not_o essential_a wherefore_o you_o shall_v observe_v that_o your_o high_a christian_n they_o can_v live_v cheery_o and_o yet_o enjoy_v abundant_o more_o of_o god_n than_o a_o doubt_a christian_n be_v careful_a therefore_o of_o be_v too_o solicitous_a for_o trouble_n of_o spirit_n fourteen_o there_o be_v another_o miscarriage_n in_o saint_n which_o keep_v they_o from_o a_o full_a close_n with_o christ_n and_o that_o be_v the_o multitude_n of_o their_o sin_n if_o think_v they_o my_o sin_n bid_v be_v but_o petty_a sin_n i_o can_v have_v go_v to_o christ_n but_o they_o be_v aggravate_v sin_n against_o love_n i_o have_v have_v hard_a thought_n of_o god_n blasphemous_a rise_n of_o heart_n against_o god_n such_o have_v o._n who_o after_o this_o manner_n reason_v i_o answer_v that_o thou_o look_v upon_o god_n pardon_v of_o sin_n with_o too_o carnal_a a_o eye_n and_o think_v that_o in_o this_o he_o be_v like_a to_o man_n that_o because_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o man_n who_o be_v unwilling_a to_o put_v up_o the_o three_o offence_n as_o he_o have_v do_v the_o first_o and_o second_o therefore_o it_o be_v so_o to_o god_n alas_o this_o be_v a_o most_o gross_a mistake_n wherefore_o know_v as_o there_o be_v no_o degree_n of_o hatred_n in_o god_n who_o be_v infinite_a so_o god_n be_v as_o full_o angry_a at_o one_o sin_n as_o at_o ten_o thousand_o and_o may_v as_o soon_o punish_v a_o man_n for_o one_o as_o for_o a_o million_o because_o he_o who_o be_v absolute_o perfect_a admit_v no_o degree_n of_o love_n or_o hatred_n therefore_o when_o thou_o look_v upon_o thyself_o as_o offend_v love_n as_o sin_v against_o mercy_n eye_n god_n as_o make_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o christ_n immediate_o and_o to_o thou_o in_o christ_n and_o from_o that_o aspect_n thou_o may_v draw_v this_o inference_n that_o though_o i_o change_v yet_o god_n can_v change_v for_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n stand_v firm_a still_o for_o he_o with_o who_o god_n make_v it_o take_v in_o that_o which_o some_o call_v the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n stand_v as_o firm_o as_o himself_o and_o so_o unmovable_a whereupon_o my_o state_n be_v firm_a by_o virtue_n of_o that_o covenant_n now_o this_o consideration_n be_v very_o rational_a for_o if_o god_n make_v his_o covenant_n immediate_o with_o we_o every_o time_n we_o shall_v sin_v god_n must_v renew_v his_o covenant_n for_o we_o shall_v lack_v still_o a_o new_a mediator_n but_o say_v god_n i_o have_v make_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n with_o you_o which_o be_v upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o a_o ever-standing_a christ_n xv._o if_o you_o will_v know_v whether_o there_o be_v security_n mix_v with_o your_o faith_n and_o your_o dependence_n upon_o god_n as_o for_o the_o welfare_n of_o your_o soul_n it_o will_v be_v a_o good_a way_n to_o put_v this_o question_n to_o the_o soul_n whether_o it_o can_v trust_v god_n with_o its_o body_n in_o case_n of_o exigency_n suppose_v thou_o do_v want_v outward_a sustinence_n suppose_v god_n shall_v call_v thou_o out_o to_o lay_v thy_o body_n at_o the_o stake_n for_o he_o for_o this_o be_v very_o common_a to_o saint_n they_o can_v find_v in_o themselves_o that_o they_o do_v full_o resign_v up_o their_o soul_n to_o god_n yet_o in_o the_o proposal_n of_o such_o case_n they_o will_v find_v their_o faith_n begin_v to_o stagger_v wherefore_o if_o thou_o find_v thyself_o in_o this_o case_n to_o doubt_v trust_v god_n and_o assure_v thyself_o that_o he_o who_o have_v draw_v out_o thy_o soul_n in_o dependence_n as_o for_o the_o one_o will_v also_o do_v it_o for_o the_o other_o see_v as_o to_o this_o case_n psal_n 78._o and_o compare_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o israelite_n to_o thou_o and_o see_v whether_o thou_o can_v have_v believe_v god_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v not_o xvi_o sometime_o saint_n be_v still_o and_o quiet_a as_o to_o the_o rise_n of_o corruption_n as_o passion_n viz._n anger_n etc._n etc._n and_o think_v it_o be_v mortify_v because_o it_o be_v still_o upon_o apply_v of_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n yet_o if_o so_o be_v that_o particular_a corruption_n do_v afterward_o rise_v again_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o conclude_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o mortify_v answ_n yet_o first_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o mortification_n and_o the_o rise_n of_o corruption_n be_v not_o whole_o inconsistent_a but_o may_v be_v in_o the_o same_o subject_n in_o different_a degree_n for_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o corruption_n can_v be_v total_o subdue_v in_o this_o life_n if_o thou_o say_v why_o may_v they_o not_o be_v total_o mortify_v as_o to_o the_o rise_n of_o they_o as_o well_o as_o for_o a_o time_n for_o i_o remember_v they_o be_v still_o as_o to_o the_o rise_n of_o they_o
