that_o though_o the_o lord_n may_v make_v use_n of_o and_o sanctify_v affliction_n as_o sickness_n upon_o we_o and_o we_o to_o bring_v we_o home_o to_o himself_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o rare_o without_o the_o word_n there_o be_v two_o consideration_n in_o particular_a that_o i_o will_v have_v you_o mind_n first_o many_o time_n affliction_n as_o poverty_n and_o sickness_n do_v make_v a_o word_n to_o work_v a_o word_n that_o we_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o wise_a say_v solomon_n they_o be_v as_o nail_n fasten_v now_o it_o may_v be_v the_o lord_n fasten_v or_o rather_o put_v in_o a_o nail_n in_o the_o assembly_n by_o his_o word_n and_o the_o poor_a soul_n run_v away_o now_o the_o lord_n send_v a_o affliction_n after_o he_o to_o fasten_v the_o nail_n and_o the_o man_n be_v cast_v upon_o a_o sickbed_n and_o now_o say_v he_o i_o remember_v such_o a_o instruction_n affliction_n bring_v home_o and_o drive_v home_o a_o word_n former_o preach_v unto_o we_o which_o we_o hear_v and_o do_v not_o regard_n or_o remember_v but_o now_o by_o a_o affliction_n be_v make_v to_o do_v both_o i_o have_v think_v affliction_n do_v that_o which_o posset-drink_a do_v in_o physic_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a similitude_n yet_o mark_v it_o a_o man_n take_v physic_n and_o it_o work_v not_o then_o give_v he_o a_o draught_n of_o posset-drink_a and_o that_o make_v it_o work_n that_o help_v it_o on_o so_o it_o be_v here_o a_o word_n be_v give_v out_o and_o it_o work_v not_o than_o the_o lord_n send_v affliction_n and_o that_o make_v it_o work_v but_o still_o it_o be_v the_o word_n that_o work_v the_o word_n former_o hear_v etc._n etc._n you_o know_v what_o be_v say_v in_o psal_n 141.6_o it_o be_v say_v there_o when_o they_o be_v overthrow_v in_o stony_a place_n they_o shall_v hear_v

well_o mind_n this_o though_o affliction_n work_v it_o be_v rather_o as_o a_o help_n to_o the_o word_n than_o of_o itself_o without_o the_o word_n this_o be_v one_o consideration_n second_o another_o consideration_n be_v this_o that_o most_o the_o lord_n make_v use_v of_o affliction_n if_o not_o to_o back_o what_o we_o have_v hear_v yet_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o hear_v mind_v it_o many_o a_o time_n the_o poor_a creature_n have_v live_v without_o sermon-hearing_a all_o his_o day_n and_o affliction_n come_v and_o that_o drive_v he_o to_o the_o word_n now_o the_o soul_n will_v go_v to_o lecture_n now_o the_o soul_n will_v wait_v on_o the_o ministry_n so_o that_o affliction_n do_v rather_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o word_n as_o the_o mean_n that_o work_n and_o be_v a_o effectual_a mean_n without_o it_o i_o pray_v then_o mark_v these_o consideration_n to_o keep_v up_o your_o high_a thought_n of_o the_o word_n and_o that_o preach_v as_o the_o prime_a mean_n very_o experience_n seal_v to_o these_o two_o thing_n that_o the_o work_n of_o affliction_n rather_o second_v a_o word_n hear_v or_o bring_v the_o soul_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n than_o simple_o work_v without_o it_o now_o then_o for_o the_o application_n of_o this_o there_o be_v five_o uses_n that_o i_o shall_v lay_v before_o you_o first_o do_v the_o lord_n this_o way_n use_n and_o sanctify_v sickness_n and_o affliction_n sometime_o upon_o we_o or_o we_o then_o look_v about_o you_o and_o see_v whether_o god_n have_v sanctify_v any_o affliction_n upon_o you_o we_o live_v in_o a_o sickly_a time_n it_o may_v be_v sickness_n have_v be_v in_o all_o your_o family_n have_v this_o like_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n bring_v you_o to_o christ_n do_v the_o sickness_n of_o thy_o body_n advance_v thy_o foot_n to_o

in_o a_o soul-way_n in_o a_o soul_n saving-way_n quest_n how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o answ_n let_v i_o propose_v two_o thing_n to_o you_o to_o let_v you_o try_v first_o when_o any_o affliction_n bring_v a_o soul_n to_o christ_n beside_o the_o material_a sickness_n or_o affliction_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o outward_a man_n the_o soul_n be_v sensible_a of_o something_o like_o it_o light_v upon_o the_o inward_a man._n there_o be_v a_o sense_n of_o the_o same_o spiritual_o as_o well_o as_o corporal_o as_o now_o when_o sickness_n bring_v a_o man_n to_o christ_n he_o speak_v thus_o i_o be_o sick_a my_o head_n ache_v i_o and_o say_v the_o man_n my_o heart_n ache_v too_o oh_o wife_n i_o be_o a_o poor_a sinner_n i_o cry_v first_o out_o i_o be_o sick_a in_o body_n but_o now_o i_o be_o sick_a in_o soul_n still_o the_o soul_n see_v something_o like_o it_o in_o spiritual_n if_o his_o sickness_n bring_v he_o to_o christ_n if_o thou_o only_o be_v sensible_a of_o a_o corporal_a disease_n and_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o that_o than_o it_o be_v but_o a_o corporal_a come_n not_o a_o soul_n nor_o a_o save_a come_n unto_o christ_n but_o when_o thy_o sick_a body_n lead_v thou_o to_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o sick_a soul_n when_o thy_o fever_n thy_o ague_n bring_v thou_o to_o feel_v the_o like_a distemper_n in_o thy_o soul_n and_o thou_o thereupon_o wente_v unto_o christ_n for_o that_o than_o be_v sickness_n indeed_o sanctify_v in_o a_o soul-saving-way_n second_o observe_v this_o he_o that_o by_o any_o affliction_n or_o sickness_n be_v bring_v home_o to_o christ_n whatever_o the_o issue_n of_o the_o affliction_n may_v be_v his_o heart_n be_v for_o certain_a move_a still_o towards_o christ_n even_o after_o the_o sickness_n be_v go_v you_o may_v have_v a_o man_n while_o the_o sickness_n be_v upon_o he_o than_o he_o may_v be_v up_o in_o prayer_n with_o his_o lord_n have_v mercy_n etc._n etc._n but_o when_o it_o be_v go_v his_o sickness_n be_v go_v and_o devotion_n be_v go_v too_o but_o if_o this_o bring_v he_o to_o christ_n though_o the_o sickness_n be_v go_v yet_o the_o man_n follow_v after_o christ_n still_o and_o mind_n he_o the_o soul_n after_o sickness_n be_v as_o he_o luk._n 8.38_o who_o beseech_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o may_v be_v with_o he_o o_o soul_n if_o thou_o come_v to_o christ_n sick_a thou_o desire_v to_o be_v with_o christ_n well_o i_o pray_v then_o look_v to_o it_o see_v if_o your_o affliction_n have_v be_v sanctify_v

last_o shall_v find_v christ_n will_v carry_v it_o kind_o however_o at_o first_o he_o may_v carry_v it_o strange_a to_o come_v now_o to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o point_n there_o be_v many_o reason_n which_o if_o need_n be_v we_o may_v dilate_v upon_o i_o shall_v only_o name_v these_o four_o or_o five_o the_o first_o reason_n whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v deal_v thus_o kind_o at_o last_o be_v take_v from_o god_n the_o father_n my_o belove_a that_o same_o will_n command_v and_o commission_n which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v receive_v from_o the_o father_n and_o which_o he_o be_v careful_a to_o observe_v be_v the_o great_a reason_n of_o this_o carriage_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o pray_v mark_v it_o a_o little_a christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n he_o come_v not_o only_o as_o our_o saviour_n but_o as_o his_o father_n servant_n and_o this_o have_v a_o influence_n upon_o the_o heart_n and_o upon_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o his_o carriage_n to_o we_o this_o i._n e._n that_o he_o come_v as_o the_o father_n servant_n and_o because_o god_n the_o father_n will_v have_v he_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o therefore_o to_o be_v certain_a he_o will_v do_v it_o as_o for_o instance_n do_v jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o die_v for_o sinner_n what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o because_o god_n the_o father_n have_v give_v he_o in_o commission_n so_o to_o do_v so_o will_v not_o christ_n break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n nor_o quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n as_o it_o be_v prophesy_v he_o will_v not_o isa_n 42_o why_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o he_o be_v his_o father_n servant_n as_o it_o be_v there_o vers_n 1._o and_o god_n have_v charge_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o in_o this_o particular_a jesus_n christ_n will_v at_o last_o deal_v kind_o with_o all_o that_o true_o come_v unto_o he_o because_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v he_o this_o be_v particular_o the_o reason_n in_o john_n 6.37_o 38._o ah_o scripture_n that_o you_o may_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o foundation_n of_o your_o faith_n but_o i_o wish_v you_o do_v well_o understand_v what_o you_o do_v build_v your_o faith_n upon_o all_o that_o come_v to_o i_o i_o will_v in_o no_o wise_a cast_v off_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n mark_v the_o 38._o vers_fw-la for_o i_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n not_o to_o do_v my_o own_o will_n but_o the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o when_o you_o act_v your_o faith_n upon_o jesus_n christ_n for_o his_o kindness_n i_o pray_v look_v to_o god_n the_o father_n likewise_o and_o this_o will_v further_o strengthen_v your_o faith_n the_o poor_a soul_n be_v ready_a to_o say_v why_o shall_v jesus_n christ_n receive_v i_o why_o shall_v jesus_n christ_n carry_v it_o kind_o to_o i_o what_o be_v there_o in_o i_o nothing_o but_o there_o be_v another_o ground_n there_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v he_o there_o be_v the_o father_n will_n god_n the_o father_n deal_v well_o with_o we_o for_o christ_n sake_n and_o jesus_n christ_n deal_v well_o with_o we_o for_o the_o father_n sake_n so_o that_o now_o my_o belove_a when_o the_o poor_a soul_n go_v to_o jesus_n christ_n you_o may_v imagine_v that_o god_n the_o father_n say_v thus_o son_n deal_v well_o with_o that_o soul_n it_o be_v my_o will_n that_o thou_o shall_v not_o cast_v he_o off_o indeed_o in_o this_o place_n christ_n do_v intimate_v that_o he_o do_v carry_v himself_o according_a to_o his_o commission_n the_o commission_n that_o be_v give_v to_o christ_n it_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o whole_a carriage_n of_o christ_n but_o here_o be_v the_o commission_n christ_n he_o shall_v not_o give_v child_n bread_n to_o dog_n yet_o if_o dog_n will_v come_v to_o he_o and_o lie_v at_o the_o father_n door_n it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o cast_v they_o off_o second_o the_o innate_a kindness_n and_o tenderness_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o he_o will_v deal_v well_o at_o last_o though_o he_o seem_v to_o carry_v it_o strange_a at_o first_o my_o belove_a the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v that_o personal_a renderness_n in_o himself_o that_o if_o his_o father_n shall_v never_o have_v wish_v he_o nor_o will_v he_o to_o deal_v thus_o kind_o with_o poor_a soul_n his_o own_o bowel_n will_v have_v put_v he_o on_o to_o it_o indeed_o the_o bow_n be_v of_o christ_n be_v so_o tender_a that_o the_o tender_a love_n be_v set_v out_o by_o the_o bowel_n when_o paul_n will_v have_v the_o philippian_n to_o know_v how_o much_o he_o do_v love_v they_o and_o long_o after_o they_o say_v he_o phil._n 1.8_o i_o long_o after_o you_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n my_o belove_a the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v tender_a bowel_n and_o because_o of_o that_o it_o be_v that_o he_o do_v deal_v tender_o with_o poor_a soul_n that_o come_v to_o he_o what_o be_v the_o particular_a nature_n and_o notion_n of_o bowel_n in_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v this_o for_o a_o person_n to_o be_v move_v at_o last_o by_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o person_n misery_n though_o at_o first_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o stand_v off_o you_o have_v many_o notable_a instance_n of_o this_o that_o of_o joseph_n what_o be_v it_o which_o make_v joseph_n deal_v kind_o at_o last_o though_o he_o do_v deal_v rough_o at_o first_o in_o gen._n 43.30_o his_o bowel_n yearn_v within_o he_o and_o that_o make_v he_o to_o speak_v kind_o to_o his_o brethren_n o_o my_o beloved_n the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v full_a of_o bowel_n he_o do_v pity_v many_o time_n when_o he_o be_v not_o speak_v to_o as_o in_o luk._n 7.13_o it_o be_v say_v there_o concern_v a_o woman_n that_o christ_n have_v compassion_n on_o she_o he_o be_v trouble_v for_o his_o bowel_n do_v yearn_v towards_o she_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v therefore_o such_o tender_a bowel_n thence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o though_o at_o first_o he_o may_v carry_v it_o strange_o yet_o at_o last_o he_o will_v carry_v it_o kind_o this_o poor_a woman_n of_o canaan_n once_o the_o lord_n seem_v to_o speak_v harsh_o to_o she_o but_o his_o bowel_n do_v yearn_v and_o upon_o that_o account_n he_o deal_v well_o at_o last_o the_o three_o reason_n in_o a_o word_n be_v this_o christ_n will_v carry_v it_o thus_o well_o at_o last_o because_o in_o a_o sense_n he_o be_v very_o fearful_a and_o therefore_o very_o careful_a that_o none_o do_v perish_v in_o a_o good_a way_n at_o least_o through_o his_o neglect_n my_o belove_a christ_n be_v fearful_a of_o the_o perish_v of_o poor_a soul_n especial_o in_o a_o good_a way_n and_o most_o especial_o through_o his_o neglect_n sinner_n look_v about_o you_o if_o you_o will_v rebel_v and_o run_v away_o from_o christ_n and_o wander_v from_o he_o and_o perish_v christ_n care_v not_o but_o if_o thou_o have_v a_o heart_n to_o
