where_o else_o either_o to_o be_v seek_v or_o find_v but_o in_o lesus_fw-la christ_n only_o where_o i_o beseech_v you_o first_o to_o mark_v both_o how_o this_o doctrine_n arise_v from_o hence_o and_o

which_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n and_o very_a truth_n indeed_o or_o if_o he_o alone_o have_v not_o have_v abundant_a yea_o infinite_a matter_n of_o strong_a and_o solid_a comfort_n in_o himself_o he_o will_v never_o have_v do_v as_o we_o have_v already_o hear_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o exercise_n and_o for_o the_o word_n i_o do_v not_o say_v there_o be_v no_o comfort_n to_o be_v find_v for_o meat_n drink_n sleep_n friend_n recreation_n and_o such_o like_a be_v comfort_n i_o confess_v but_o not_o true_a and_o sound_a comfort_n for_o a_o distress_a spirit_n for_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v inward_a and_o these_o be_v but_o outward_a &_o therefore_o be_v not_o fit_v for_o a_o person_n or_o party_n so_o affect_v and_o i_o will_v as_o soon_o think_v and_o say_v that_o bodily_a food_n be_v the_o proper_a and_o sound_a nourishment_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o suppose_v that_o these_o outward_a thing_n be_v the_o true_a and_o sound_a

proof_n of_o it_o this_o be_v not_o in_o my_o mind_n obscure_o signify_v under_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a law_n whether_o they_o be_v ordinary_a or_o extraordinary_a daily_a or_o yearly_o general_a or_o particular_a all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o they_o in_o measure_n more_o or_o less_o tend_v still_o unto_o he_o who_o they_o do_v prefigure_v and_o signify_v as_o the_o apostle_n at_o large_a declare_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o why_o he_o because_o he_o be_v he_o alone_o in_o who_o god_n be_v please_v to_o reconcile_v the_o world_n unto_o himself_o and_o to_o make_v the_o one_o and_o only_a object_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o this_o be_v plain_o propound_v unto_o we_o and_o prove_v also_o by_o manifold_a text_n of_o scripture_n both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o many_o for_o i_o like_v not_o much_o of_o that_o course_n out_o of_o that_o great_a store_n let_v we_o take_v two_o or_o three_o both_o plain_a and_o pregnant_a for_o this_o purpose_n in_o the_o 55._o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n a_o place_n cite_v before_o and_o be_v as_o we_o all_o

sentence_n of_o the_o apostle_n 2._o cor._n 1.5_o as_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n abound_v in_o we_o so_o our_o consolation_n abound_v through_o christ._n by_o suffering_n of_o christ_n he_o mean_v not_o only_o those_o thing_n that_o we_o endure_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o persecuter_n for_o christ_n sake_n for_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o suffer_v that_o way_n but_o even_o those_o anguish_v also_o that_o we_o have_v in_o our_o soul_n and_o in_o our_o spirit_n christ_n be_v as_o much_o yea_o far_o more_o throw_v down_o and_o humble_v that_o way_n than_o all_o flesh_n as_o appear_v by_o

superaboundance_n of_o our_o joy_n above_o our_o grief_n then_o sure_a what_o by_o reason_n of_o satan_n malice_n against_o we_o and_o the_o dulness_n and_o hardness_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n to_o believe_v and_o the_o greatness_n of_o our_o grief_n &_o sorrow_n beside_o it_o will_v go_v hard_a with_o a_o distress_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o as_o for_o the_o comfort_v of_o we_o against_o the_o hugeness_n and_o height_n of_o our_o sin_n we_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n where_o sin_n have_v abound_v there_o grace_n have_v overabounded_a so_o in_o this_o case_n of_o inward_a affliction_n particular_o we_o say_v our_o sorrow_n may_v be_v sore_a and_o our_o grief_n great_a yet_o our_o light_a affliction_n which_o be_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n cause_v unto_o we_o a_o far_o most_o

which_o be_v absolute_o good_a as_o in_o who_o face_n and_o presence_n also_o there_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o joy_n for_o evermore_o and_o at_o his_o right_a hand_n pleasure_n for_o ever_o and_o

second_o be_v a_o weighty_a reason_n join_v to_o those_o exhortation_n or_o commandment_n the_o better_a both_o to_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o that_o christ_n have_v say_v and_o also_o the_o more_o effectual_o to_o persuade_v we_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o obedience_n and_o practice_v thereof_o and_o this_o reason_n be_v comprehend_v vers_fw-la 30._o true_a it_o be_v indeed_o that_o the_o reason_n do_v more_o special_o concern_v the_o latter_a exhortation_n or_o commandment_n as_o we_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o if_o god_n will_n howbeit_o it_o may_v not_o improper_o also_o in_o some_o sort_n and_o sense_n be_v apply_v and_o refer_v unto_o the_o first_o but_o because_o this_o be_v not_o a_o point_n great_o material_a now_o we_o will_v let_v it_o pass_v and_o proceed_v to_o more_o necessary_a matter_n now_o concern_v the_o exhortation_n or_o commandment_n they_o be_v according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o verse_n in_o which_o they_o be_v contain_v two_o and_o yet_o if_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v both_o of_o they_o tend_v to_o one_o end_n namely_o by_o call_v man_n to_o come_v unto_o christ_n and_o to_o learn_v of_o he_o to_o minister_v comfort_n of_o conscience_n to_o they_o that_o be_v heavy_a heart_a and_o yet_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o they_o be_v needle_n tautology_n or_o my_o repetition_n but_o serve_v as_o to_o express_v christ_n singular_a love_n towards_o afflict_a person_n he_o urge_v they_o as_o we_o see_v again_o and_o again_o so_o to_o let_v we_o understand_v in_o the_o double_n and_o treble_v of_o these_o sweet_a and_o comfortable_a exhortation_n or_o commandment_n that_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a thing_n to_o comfort_v a_o wound_a spirit_n and_o that_o a_o break_a and_o trouble_a heart_n do_v not_o by_o and_o by_o though_o glad_o it_o will_v admit_v and_o recelue_v comfort_n for_o if_o that_o be_v so_o one_o exhortation_n commandment_n call_v or_o promise_n will_v suffice_v but_o rather_o that_o even_o for_o their_o mind_n that_o be_v true_a in_o they_o that_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n and_o be_v repeat_v in_o this_o evangelist_n chap._n 2_o rahel_n weep_v for_o her_o child_n and_o will_v not_o be_v comfort_v because_o they_o be_v not_o and_o yet_o further_o between_o these_o two_o exhortation_n or_o commandment_n i_o make_v this_o difference_n that_o in_o the_o first_o he_o call_v we_o simple_o without_o any_o other_o respect_n than_o of_o our_o own_o misery_n and_o his_o mercy_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o for_o relief_n and_o in_o the_o other_o he_o call_v on_o we_o or_o command_v we_o to_o learn_v of_o he_o and_o to_o profit_v by_o our_o come_n and_o not_o to_o be_v as_o bad_a scholar_n that_o have_v very_o good_a teacher_n or_o master_n and_o yet_o learn_v little_a or_o nothing_o from_o they_o and_o we_o be_v further_a to_o mark_v that_o in_o delivery_n of_o these_o exhortation_n or_o commandment_n christ_n observe_v this_o order_n first_o he_o put_v down_o the_o exhortation_n or_o commandment_n itself_o as_o ver_fw-la 28_o come_v unto_o i_o ally_n etc._n etc._n &_o ver_fw-la 29._o take_v my_o yoke_n upon_o you_o etc._n etc._n and_o then_o add_v promise_n full_a of_o comfort_n and_o consolation_n as_o i_o will_v refresh_v you_o in_o the_o end_n of_o vers_n 28._o and_o again_o you_o shall_v find_v rest_n unto_o your_o soul_n the_o last_o word_n of_o verse_n 29._o which_v our_o saviour_n christ_n press_v as_o we_o see_v by_o double_v of_o they_o not_o so_o much_o to_o express_v the_o infinite_a treasure_n of_o spiritual_a joy_n that_o be_v in_o he_o as_o to_o assure_v we_o that_o come_n at_o his_o call_n we_o shall_v have_v that_o in_o great_a measure_n and_o plenty_n bestow_v upon_o we_o that_o shall_v ease_v our_o smart_n but_o all_o these_o thing_n with_o many_o other_o more_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o plain_o and_o understand_v more_o full_o in_o the_o particular_a exposition_n of_o the_o word_n themselves_o as_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o text_n and_o in_o the_o observation_n of_o doctrine_n arise_v out_o of_o they_o to_o they_o therefore_o we_o come_v verse_n 28._o it_o be_v say_v come_v unto_o i_o in_o this_o verse_n two_o thing_n contain_v first_o the_o exhortation_n or_o commandment_n itself_o in_o these_o word_n come_v unto_o i_o etc._n etc._n second_o a_o promise_n adjoin_v as_o for_o our_o great_a encouragement_n to_o well_o do_v

commandment_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o person_n exhort_v or_o command_v which_o be_v christ_n comfortable_o say_v come_v unto_o i_o and_o the_o person_n exhort_v or_o command_v in_o these_o

it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o we_o both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n according_a to_o his_o good_a pleasure_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o to_o be_v true_a that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n
