day_n i_o enjoy_v much_o consolation_n both_o from_o the_o scripture_n special_o psal_n 37.24.35.39_o though_o he_o fall_v mean_v the_o good_a man_n he_o shall_v not_o utter_o be_v cast_v down_o nor_o

help_v they_o and_o deliver_v they_o he_o shall_v deliver_v they_o from_o the_o wicked_a and_o save_v they_o because_o they_o trust_v in_o he_o also_o by_o conference_n that_o day_n with_o several_a person_n yet_o in_o the_o evening_n i_o have_v strong_a assault_n from_o satan_n from_o which_o the_o lord_n do_v in_o part_n deliver_v i_o but_o yet_o much_o trouble_v from_o my_o own_o evil_a heart_n the_o four_o follow_a lesson_n i_o be_v desirous_a to_o learn_v this_o evening_n 1._o to_o get_v my_o soul_n more_o settle_v in_o the_o assurance_n and_o apprehension_n of_o salvation_n 2._o more_o sensible_a of_o my_o own_o and_o other_o man_n sin_n and_o my_o own_o and_o other_o man_n suffering_n 3._o more_o humble_v for_o my_o unprofitableness_n in_o my_o imprisonment_n 4._o more_o willing_a to_o die_v and_o more_o mindful_a of_o death_n this_o day_n i_o receive_v and_o unexpected_a mercy_n and_o be_v prevent_v from_o a_o temptation_n which_o make_v my_o heart_n rejoice_v and_o prevent_a grace_n especial_o that_o which_o prevent_v from_o sin_n have_v be_v frequent_o cause_n of_o rejoice_v to_o i_o this_o day_n i_o have_v little_a change_n in_o the_o frame_n of_o my_o spirit_n either_o to_o good_a or_o evil_n but_o some_o sense_n i_o have_v of_o my_o own_o weakness_n yet_o i_o have_v some_o comfort_n from_o those_o word_n psal_n 40.17_o but_o i_o be_o poor_a and_o needy_a yet_o the_o lord_n think_v on_o i_o and_o psal_n 42.8_o yet_o the_o lord_n will_v command_v his_o love_a kindness_n and_o his_o song_n shall_v be_v with_o i_o and_o my_o prayer_n unto_o the_o god_n of_o my_o life_n this_o day_n i_o have_v a_o good_a and_o comfortable_a day_n to_o my_o soul_n especial_o in_o prayer_n four_o thing_n i_o see_v cause_n to_o be_v humble_v for_o first_o that_o i_o have_v not_o more_o sense_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o suffering_n of_o god_n people_n or_o of_o my_o own_o second_o that_o the_o work_n glory_n way_n ordinance_n &_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v in_o such_o contempt_n three_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o stability_n zeal_n and_o courage_n in_o the_o saint_n for_o good_a and_o against_o evil._n four_o that_o there_o continue_v still_o such_o darkness_n upon_o and_o division_n among_o christian_n i_o have_v it_o much_o in_o my_o heart_n to_o desire_v two_o thing_n from_o the_o lord_n viz._n first_o power_n against_o my_o sin_n second_o preparation_n for_o suffering_n this_o day_n i_o be_v much_o trouble_v for_o hear_v one_o swear_v several_a oath_n and_o not_o reprove_v he_o for_o the_o same_o and_o convince_v also_o from_o psal_n 50.7_o hear_v o_o israel_n and_o i_o will_v testify_v against_o thou_o i_o be_o god_n even_o thy_o god_n that_o god_n have_v many_o thing_n against_o i_o in_o particular_a and_o i_o be_v convince_v providencial_o of_o one_o cause_n of_o my_o suffering_n be_v a_o day_n to_o seek_v the_o lord_n in_o private_a prayer_n i_o have_v my_o heart_n somewhat_o soften_v and_o yet_o i_o be_v trouble_v it_o continue_v so_o hard_o and_o i_o learn_v from_o the_o 2._o cro._n 6.37_o that_o i_o shall_v in_o this_o my_o suffering_n bethink_v myself_o both_o what_o i_o be_v and_o what_o i_o have_v do_v that_o i_o shall_v pray_v more_o earnest_o and_o turn_v more_o thorough_o and_o perfect_o unto_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o evening_n i_o can_v and_o do_v pray_v most_o hearty_o for_o my_o

be_v to_o sin_n under_o affliction_n and_o the_o danger_n do_v appear_v much_o by_o that_o place_n in_o leu._n 26.36_o and_o upon_o they_o that_o be_v leave_v alive_a of_o you_o mean_v those_o that_o
