A86423	A treatise containing three things. Viz. [3 braces] 1. A discovery of the unsupportable burthen of sinne, to a heart that is saint-like sensible of sin. 2. The restlesse resolution of a soule to returne to God, who is saint-like sensible of his withdrawings. 3. A discovery of the sweet and unexpected entertainment that wandring hearts meet with in their returnes to God. / Written by Lieutenant Collonel Paul Hobson.

that_o which_o be_v at_o this_o time_n most_o sensible_a in_o my_o heart_n to_o speak_v to_o you_o from_o what_o god_n have_v speak_v to_o i_o in_o my_o present_a condition_n be_v three_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v a_o discovery_n of_o the_o unsupportable_a burden_n of_o sin_n when_o discover_v by_o the_o light_n of_o god_n love_n second_o the_o restless_a resolution_n of_o a_o saint_n when_o he_o be_v saintlike_a sensible_a of_o his_o withdraw_n from_o god_n to_o turn_v to_o god_n three_o the_o gracious_a and_o sweet_a entertainment_n the_o soul_n find_v with_o god_n when_o that_o he_o be_v bring_v home_o and_o i_o shall_v declare_v it_o from_o three_o portion_n of_o scripture_n the_o first_o from_o psalm_n the_o 38._o and_o the_o 4_o verse_n the_o second_o from_o psalm_n the_o 11_o 6_o and_o the_o 7_o verse_n the_o three_o from_o luke_n the_o 15_o and_o the_o 20_o verse_n but_o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o at_o this_o opportunity_n psalm_n the_o 38._o and_o the_o 4_o verse_n for_o my_o iniquity_n be_v go_v over_o my_o head_n as_o a_o heavy_a burden_n they_o be_v too_o heavy_a for_o i_o dear_a friend_n this_o scripture_n i_o have_v former_o view_v and_o have_v former_o speak_v something_o from_o it_o but_o i_o be_o now_o constrain_v to_o declare_v what_o god_n have_v preach_v to_o i_o for_o he_o have_v be_v please_v through_o a_o discovery_n of_o my_o unsutablenes_n and_o my_o unkindness_n by_o which_o he_o have_v not_o only_o break_v my_o bone_n but_o he_o have_v leave_v no_o soundness_n in_o my_o flesh_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v by_o flesh_n fleshly_a nature_n but_o all_o the_o fleshline_v of_o my_o own_o righteousness_n by_o which_o former_o i_o refresh_v myself_o with_o the_o spark_n of_o my_o own_o performance_n and_o refresh_v myself_o with_o the_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n i_o gather_v from_o thence_o but_o now_o my_o wound_n be_v too_o large_a to_o be_v heal_v with_o such_o a_o salve_n but_o no_o more_o of_o that_o but_o to_o the_o word_n and_o in_o they_o you_o may_v consider_v in_o general_a a_o affirmation_n wherein_o you_o may_v first_o consider_v the_o partic_a affirm_v that_o be_v david_n second_o the_o affirmation_n itself_o that_o be_v twofold_a first_o that_o his_o iniquity_n be_v go_v over_o his_o head_n second_o they_o be_v a_o heavy_a burden_n too_o heavy_a for_o he_o three_o you_o may_v consider_v the_o time_n when_o it_o be_v when_o god_n have_v show_v he_o so_o much_o of_o his_o own_o nothingnes_n that_o he_o have_v nothing_o leave_v to_o live_v upon_o beside_o free_a love_n there_o be_v no_o rest_n in_o his_o bone_n nor_o no_o soundness_n in_o his_o flesh_n by_o bone_n and_o flesh_n we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v it_o natural_o but_o spiritual_o and_o by_o flesh_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o in_o a_o double_a sense_n according_a to_o these_o scripture_n galatian_n the_o 5._o and_o the_o 19_o verse_n gal._n the_o 6._o and_o the_o 12_o verse_n philippian_n the_o 3._o and_o the_o 3_o and_o 4_o verse_n dear_a friend_n we_o may_v observe_v a_o conclusion_n from_o the_o party_n affirm_v the_o affirmation_n itself_o and_o the_o time_n when_o and_o the_o manner_n how_o but_o we_o shall_v draw_v up_o all_o into_o one_o conclusion_n and_o that_o be_v this_o doct._n that_o sin_n to_o a_o saint_n like_o sensible_a heart_n be_v a_o unsupportable_a burden_n in_o the_o prosecution_n the_o conclusion_n observe_v these_o four_o thing_n first_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o by_o scripture_n second_o consider_v what_o sin_n be_v three_o what_o a_o saintlike_a sensible_a heart_n be_v four_o the_o reason_n why_o sin_n to_o a_o saintlike_a sensible_a heart_n be_v a_o unsupportable_a burden_n first_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v the_o conclusion_n be_v these_o in_o the_o first_o place_n view_v the_o text_n which_o clear_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o conclusion_n further_n see_v roman_n the_o 7_o and_o the_o 24_o verse_n how_o paul_n cry_v out_o as_o a_o restless_a man_n under_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n you_o may_v further_o see_v psal_n 51._o the_o 1_o 2_o 3._o and_o 4_o verse_n jeremiah_n the_o 3._o and_o the_o 25_o verse_n lamentation_n the_o 5._o the_o 15_o 16_o 17_o verse_n all_o which_o do_v discover_v how_o unsupportable_a the_o burden_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o a_o heart_n that_o be_v saintlike_a sensible_a of_o sin_n dear_a friend_n we_o need_v not_o much_o proof_n to_o he_o that_o know_v it_o as_o i_o be_o confident_a every_o heart_n that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o god_n have_v sufficient_a experience_n of_o this_o to_o confirm_v it_o the_o daily_a heart-breaking_n in_o that_o soul_n who_o be_v sensible_a of_o his_o own_o unkindness_n by_o read_v god_n kindness_n do_v demonstrate_v it_o but_o i_o shall_v add_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o heart_n which_o need_v confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n without_o himself_o and_o have_v not_o a_o sufficient_a proof_n within_o himself_o his_o condition_n be_v sad_a second_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o sin_n be_v and_o in_o that_o consideration_n we_o will_v consider_v three_o thing_n first_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n second_o the_o concomitant_n of_o sin_n and_o three_o the_o effect_n first_o what_o be_v sin_n the_o apostle_n tell_v you_o in_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o john_n the_o 3_o chap._n and_o the_o 4_o verse_n that_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n have_v there_o be_v no_o law_n there_o have_v be_v no_o sin_n the_o variation_n from_o a_o law_n be_v sin_n to_o speak_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n be_v almost_o as_o impossible_a as_o to_o speak_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n for_o sin_n in_o all_o thing_n be_v contrary_a to_o god_n whatsoever_o you_o can_v say_v of_o darkness_n of_o death_n of_o hell_n and_o devil_n you_o may_v say_v of_o sin_n sin_n comprehend_v all_o and_o be_v one_o with_o either_o john_n in_o the_o revelation_n tell_v we_o of_o the_o depth_n of_o satan_n temptation_n 2.24_o revel_v 2.24_o which_o temptation_n peradventure_o be_v but_o the_o limb_n of_o the_o least_o lust_n oh_o what_o a_o depth_n be_v there_o then_o in_o the_o whole_a body_n whatsoever_o happiness_n and_o glory_n be_v see_v in_o light_n the_o contrary_a be_v find_v in_o darkness_n whatsoever_o content_a and_o freedom_n you_o find_v in_o love_n &_o light_n the_o contrary_a misery_n and_o bondage_n you_o find_v in_o death_n but_o the_o perfection_n of_o all_o these_o misery_n be_v comprehend_v in_o sin_n as_o the_o body_n of_o they_o both_o that_o heart_n which_o be_v most_o sensible_a of_o sin_n be_v not_o able_a to_o speak_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n but_o i_o know_v that_o that_o heart_n which_o be_v saintlike_a sensible_a of_o sin_n and_o do_v see_v sin_n to_o present_v himself_o as_o it_o do_v so_o ugly_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n think_v sin_n can_v never_o be_v present_v ugly_a enough_o and_o especial_o because_o they_o see_v that_o in_o sin_v they_o do_v not_o only_o cross_a law_n but_o love_n they_o do_v not_o only_o pierce_v paper_n but_o the_o precious_a tender_n of_o grace_n &_o love_n zech._n 10._o it_o be_v endless_a &_o boundless_a to_o anatomize_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o where_o not_o so_o much_o as_o nature_n dwell_v but_o be_v enslave_v by_o it_o second_o consider_v the_o concomitant_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v many_o but_o i_o shall_v only_o present_v so_o many_o of_o they_o as_o it_o at_o present_a in_o my_o own_o view_n first_o it_o be_v that_o which_o draw_v a_o dark_a cloud_n over_o a_o man_n eye_n and_o hinder_v he_o in_o his_o clear_a behold_v of_o god_n though_o a_o christian_a have_v never_o so_o glorious_a a_o view_n of_o divine_a light_n &_o love_n that_o live_v in_o god_n if_o god_n suffer_v that_o heart_n to_o be_v paddle_v and_o meddle_v with_o sin_n and_o darkness_n 6._o isa_n 59.2_o psal_n 30.7_o cant._n 5.2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o and_o then_o the_o heart_n go_v expect_v to_o view_n god_n as_o before_o though_o god_n be_v as_o he_o be_v before_o a_o unalterable_a god_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o thick_a mist_n draw_v upon_o the_o eye_n that_o he_o be_v like_o a_o man_n in_o a_o mist_n and_o know_v not_o where_o he_o be_v nor_o what_o he_o see_v just_o like_o a_o man_n who_o eye_n be_v fix_v upon_o the_o sun_n and_o there_o he_o behold_v glorious_a object_n than_o take_v they_o off_o from_o that_o sun_n and_o look_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o then_o go_v to_o look_v up_o to_o the_o sun_n again_o his_o eye_n dazzle_v that_o he_o can_v see_v neither_o though_o it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v not_o the_o glory_n that_o we_o view_v in_o god_n that_o cover_v our_o eye_n but_o rather_o the_o thick_a mist_n that_o intercept_v our_o view_n of_o that_o unchangeable_a object_n and_o therefore_o the_o example_n of_o

ignoble_a that_o reason_n in_o a_o natural_a man_n be_v his_o eye_n but_o open_a in_o his_o own_o reason_n he_o will_v kick_v it_o out_o of_o door_n it_o be_v a_o mere_a jesuitical_a tyrant_n speak_v fair_a to_o accomplish_v its_o own_o end_n and_o by_o it_o to_o bring_v the_o creature_n to_o slavery_n and_o bondage_n the_o truth_n be_v if_o the_o people_n of_o god_n heart_n be_v often_o with_o god_n and_o feed_v upon_o those_o glorious_a noble_a and_o divine_a enjoyment_n sin_n will_v not_o find_v so_o easy_a a_o entertainment_n in_o their_o heart_n but_o they_o be_v so_o often_o abroad_o and_o so_o little_a at_o home_n i_o mean_v in_o their_o father_n house_n or_o rather_o in_o his_o heart_n be_v that_o which_o occasion_n many_o slip_n and_o fall_v by_o harken_v to_o those_o delude_a enticement_n which_o afterward_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o unsupportable_a burden_n three_o consider_v most_o of_o all_o against_o who_o you_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o only_o against_o law_n but_o against_o love_n and_o against_o that_o dear_a love_n which_o be_v your_o life_n true_o if_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v always_o power_n from_o god_n to_o consider_v how_o injurious_a and_o unkind_a they_o be_v to_o god_n heart_n when_o they_o shake_v sin_n by_o the_o hand_n they_o will_v have_v much_o more_o resolution_n against_o sin_n and_o say_v as_o ephraim_n what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v any_o more_o with_o idol_n hosea_n the_o 14._o chap._n and_o the_o 8._o vers_fw-la or_o say_v as_o joseph_n genesis_n the_o 39_o and_o the_o 9_o how_o can_v i_o do_v this_o and_o sin_n against_o god_n or_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v roman_a the_o 6._o the_o 1_o and_o 2._o i_o know_v it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o creature_n power_n to_o mind_n itself_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a when_o god_n give_v power_n it_o be_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o we_o and_o disadvantage_n to_o sin_n to_o weigh_v well_o the_o great_a opposition_n sin_n make_v against_o the_o come_n in_o of_o divine_a love_n nay_o how_o much_o it_o wound_v the_o lord_n christ_n afresh_o some_o think_v that_o the_o worst_a that_o even_o sin_n do_v be_v to_o bring_v christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o though_o that_o be_v great_a yet_o know_v also_o that_o every_o time_n the_o people_n of_o god_n sin_n 10.29_o heb._n 6.6_o heb._n 10.29_o they_o do_v as_o it_o be_v crucify_v christ_n afresh_o for_o christ_n be_v as_o real_o crucify_v within_o we_o as_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n for_o we_o and_o therefore_o every_o time_n you_o sin_n know_v this_o that_o in_o your_o own_o soul_n you_o accuse_v you_o arraign_v condemn_v crown_n with_o thorn_n spit_v in_o the_o face_n and_o smite_v with_o the_o hand_n nay_o pierce_v and_o wound_v that_o dear_o belove_a unction_n that_o be_v come_v down_o from_o god_n and_o true_o have_v we_o but_o power_n to_o consider_v that_o endear_a love_n and_o life_n that_o from_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o nay_o that_o woe_n and_o entreat_v for_o entertainment_n with_o we_o not_o to_o add_v to_o itself_o but_o to_o advance_v we_o undoubted_o such_o thought_n will_v much_o conquer_v we_o and_o sin_n in_o we_o there_o be_v many_o other_o motive_n but_o i_o shall_v leave_v they_o only_o take_v notice_n it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o be_v a_o dydimus_n not_o to_o believe_v till_o you_o feel_v take_v notice_n of_o this_o from_o what_o my_o soul_n know_v that_o sense_n will_v be_v very_o sad_a and_o the_o rather_o because_o there_o be_v no_o relief_n when_o you_o be_v wound_v but_o in_o that_o you_o have_v wound_v by_o that_o which_o wound_v you_o oh_o what_o will_v you_o say_v when_o you_o come_v for_o relief_n from_o that_o dear_a heart_n and_o to_o draw_v life_n from_o those_o sweet_a love_n that_o you_o do_v no_o less_o than_o throw_v dirt_n in_o the_o face_n of_o oh_o if_o there_o be_v any_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o be_v so_o far_o delude_v as_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o liberty_n be_v run_v into_o looseness_n oh_o i_o beg_v nay_o i_o will_v beg_v with_o tear_n for_o they_o to_o consider_v from_o whence_o they_o be_v fall_v and_o to_o remember_v their_o first_o love_n revela_fw-la 2.4_o 5._o it_o be_v possible_a some_o may_v be_v make_v so_o unsensible_a by_o their_o wanton_a sin_v as_o that_o they_o may_v make_v a_o jest_n of_o these_o say_n as_o for_o such_o spirit_n i_o shall_v leave_v they_o desire_v to_o see_v myself_o in_o they_o and_o so_o rather_o conclude_v with_o mourning_n then_o to_o spend_v time_n in_o dispute_n with_o all_o the_o objection_n that_o such_o may_v bring_v and_o shall_v only_o give_v answer_n to_o two_o or_o three_o objection_n which_o be_v more_o common_a and_o accustomary_a yet_o like_o deceive_v object_n how_o can_v this_o be_v when_o as_o the_o apostle_n saint_n john_n in_o the_o first_o epistle_n 3.9_o say_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n can_v sin_v answ_n in_o my_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v you_o in_o rehearse_v how_o often_o the_o devil_n have_v present_v we_o with_o this_o scripture_n to_o persuade_v i_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n can_v sin_v but_o my_o answer_n to_o this_o scripture_n be_v brief_o thus_o the_o same_o apostle_n in_o the_o same_o epistle_n chap._n 1.8_o verse_n say_v that_o whosoever_o say_v he_o have_v no_o sin_n be_v liar_n and_o deceive_v himself_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o
