and_o temporal_a affliction_n common_a to_o good_a and_o bad_a but_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a affliction_n and_o the_o heavy_a of_o these_o spiritual_a desertion_n whereby_o god_n withdraw_v his_o glorious_a countenance_n from_o his_o child_n and_o satan_n in_o lieu_n thereof_o show_v they_o his_o ugly_a visage_n thereby_o convince_a a_o secure_a world_n that_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o go_v to_o heaven_n and_o that_o the_o safe_a and_o sure_a way_n to_o it_o be_v to_o sail_v by_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n if_o the_o righteous_a can_v scarce_o be_v save_v say_v the_o apostle_n where_o shall_v the_o wicked_a and_o sinner_n appear_v 2._o that_o the_o deep_a humiliation_n of_o god_n child_n do_v usual_o determine_v in_o the_o high_a consolation_n and_o hereby_o the_o wicked_a who_o like_o raven_a wolf_n hunt_v after_o such_o opportunity_n do_v miss_v of_o their_o prey_n and_o return_v ashamed_a when_o they_o consider_v what_o end_n god_n have_v make_v and_o thus_o it_o fall_v out_o with_o mr._n peacock_n here_o 3._o last_o though_o a_o spiritual_a desertion_n be_v the_o high_a affliction_n that_o befall_v god_n child_n yet_o it_o discover_v in_o he_o the_o great_a sincerity_n of_o a_o upright_a heart_n for_o at_o such_o a_o time_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o hide_v his_o sin_n that_o he_o care_v not_o what_o shame_n he_o put_v upon_o himself_o so_o god_n may_v have_v glory_n for_o in_o a_o spiritual_a desertion_n though_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v extreme_o distress_v through_o the_o terror_n of_o sin_n yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n have_v

so_o do_v the_o soul_n of_o a_o christian_a stand_v direct_o heaven-ward_o in_o this_o hellish_a agony_n and_o the_o absence_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o consolation_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o those_o
