sensible_a assurance_n of_o their_o own_o call_n first_o take_v this_o for_o a_o truth_n that_o assurance_n be_v necessary_a not_o for_o the_o be_v but_o for_o the_o well-being_n of_o a_o christian_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o his_o estate_n but_o to_o his_o comfort_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a as_o food_n be_v to_o the_o life_n but_o only_o as_o physic_n be_v to_o the_o body_n a_o man_n can_v live_v without_o food_n a_o man_n may_v live_v without_o physic_n assurance_n be_v but_o as_o a_o comfortable_a cordial_a to_o the_o soul_n grace_n be_v as_o food_n to_o keep_v the_o soul_n alive_a though_o you_o do_v want_v assurance_n this_o cordial_a to_o bear_v you_o up_o second_o that_o many_o of_o god_n dear_a child_n they_o may_v lie_v a_o very_a long_a time_n in_o the_o want_n of_o this_o assurance_n touch_v their_o effectual_a call_n psal_n 88_o it_o be_v say_v of_o heman_n 14_o 15_o 16._o verse_n lord_n why_o have_v thou_o cas●●ff_v my_o soul_n and_o why_o have_v thou_o

here_o he_o tell_v you_o his_o estate_n that_o he_o be_v not_o trouble_v for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o or_o three_o and_o then_o his_o trouble_n be_v over_o but_o from_o his_o youth_n up_o he_o lie_v under_o this_o perplexity_n that_o he_o think_v god_n have_v cast_v off_o his_o soul_n and_o the_o terror_n of_o god_n lay_v upon_o he_o and_o yet_o this_o man_n none_o question_n his_o goodness_n for_o he_o be_v the_o man_n as_o ainsworth_n think_v that_o make_v this_o psalm_n and_o sure_a god_n will_v never_o honour_v a_o wicked_a man_n to_o be_v a_o penman_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o psalm_n be_v call_v a_o golden_a psalm_n and_o it_o be_v so_o call_v because_o hereby_o he_o will_v teach_v afflict_v conscience_n that_o they_o may_v from_o their_o youth_n up_o lie_v under_o great_a horror_n and_o lie_v under_o sad_a suspense_n concern_v their_o everlasting_a estate_n and_o yet_o they_o may_v have_v grace_n at_o the_o root_n for_o all_o this_o and_o heman_n do_v not_o only_o express_v it_o as_o if_o he_o have_v a_o ordinary_a trouble_n of_o mind_n but_o he_o express_v it_o that_o he_o lie_v under_o a_o extraordinary_a weight_n of_o god_n wrath_n verse_n 7._o thou_o have_v lay_v i_o in_o the_o low_a pit_n of_o darkness_n and_o in_o the_o deep_a and_o thy_o wrath_n it_o lie_v heavy_a upon_o i_o he_o do_v even_o lie_v and_o sink_v in_o his_o own_o thought_n under_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n wrath_n upon_o he_o this_o therefore_o be_v another_o comfortable_a conclusion_n that_o godly_a man_n may_v not_o only_o by_o fit_n and_o start_v but_o for_o a_o long_a time_n for_o many_o year_n together_o lie_v under_o a_o state_n of_o spiritual_a desertion_n for_o some_o man_n think_v of_o heman_n that_o he_o be_v above_o threescore_o year_n of_o age_n when_o he_o write_v this_o psalm_n yet_o from_o his_o youth_n up_o till_o that_o age_n he_o lay_v under_o this_o horror_n and_o perplexity_n three_o that_o many_o of_o god_n dear_a child_n may_v be_v so_o long_o plunge_v under_o desertion_n and_o under_o the_o want_n of_o assurance_n that_o they_o may_v refuse_v and_o withstand_v comfort_n when_o god_n offer_v it_o to_o they_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o may_v have_v grace_n still_o as_o a_o man_n in_o a_o fever_n or_o distract_v by_o some_o violent_a disease_n though_o you_o bring_v he_o a_o cordial_n that_o may_v abate_v his_o disease_n the_o man_n in_o a_o fit_a will_n through_o the_o glass_n against_o the_o wall_n though_o it_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n of_o his_o remedy_n it_o be_v so_o with_o godly_a man_n many_o time_n they_o be_v so_o accustom_v to_o sadness_n in_o the_o want_n of_o assurance_n that_o they_o may_v refuse_v comfort_n when_o god_n offer_v they_o psal_n 77.2_o it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o asaph_n my_o soul_n refuse_v to_o
