A67637	Suspiria Ecclesiae & reipublica Anglicanae The sighs of the Church and common-wealth of England, or, An exhortation to humiliation with a help thereunto, setting forth the great corruptions and mseries [sic] of this present church and state with the remedies that are to be applyed thereunto / by Thomas Warmstry.

never_o like_a to_o look_v after_o the_o remedy_n the_o torment_n of_o the_o disease_n be_v the_o solicitor_n of_o health_n and_o the_o best_a advocate_n for_o the_o entertainment_n of_o the_o physician_n and_o the_o physic_n there_o be_v two_o great_a bag_n of_o poison_n in_o the_o serpentine_a heart_n of_o corrupt_a man_n that_o do_v above_o all_o other_o keep_v we_o off_o from_o the_o cure_n of_o our_o spiritual_a disease_n presumption_n or_o security_n and_o despair_n of_o mercy_n the_o one_o keep_v we_o from_o take_v notice_n of_o our_o wretchedness_n the_o other_o render_v we_o hopeless_a of_o relief_n and_o therefore_o the_o great_a physician_n of_o the_o church_n though_o he_o be_v not_o want_v in_o his_o provision_n against_o all_o our_o sickness_n yet_o he_o seem_v in_o the_o general_a scope_n of_o his_o composition_n to_o have_v aim_v at_o the_o removal_n of_o these_o two_o have_v ordain_v we_o two_o great_a antidote_n against_o they_o the_o law_n against_o security_n and_o presumption_n who_o office_n be_v the_o discovery_n of_o the_o malignity_n of_o sin_n both_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o in_o the_o curse_n and_o condemnation_n that_o it_o bring_v with_o it_o for_o by_o the_o law_n say_v the_o apostle_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n rom._n 3.20_o and_o the_o same_o apostle_n rom._n 7.7_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o have_v not_o know_v sin_n but_o by_o the_o law_n and_o at_o the_o 8._o vers_fw-la without_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v dead_a that_o be_v as_o i_o conceive_v it_o may_v well_o be_v understand_v that_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n be_v dead_a that_o it_o be_v not_o feel_v to_o be_v alive_a but_o be_v in_o we_o like_o a_o gangrene_n in_o a_o mortify_a member_n that_o eat_v on_o insensible_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o body_n and_o in_o the_o like_a signification_n we_o may_v perhaps_o not_o amiss_o understand_v that_o which_o follow_v in_o the_o 9_o verse_n when_o the_o commandment_n come_v sin_n revive_v and_o i_o die_v that_o be_v sin_n appear_v to_o be_v sin_n the_o sense_n of_o it_o be_v quicken_v and_o thereby_o i_o be_v mortify_v &_o humble_v etc._n etc._n and_o thus_o the_o law_n rouze_v we_o from_o our_o presumption_n and_o security_n but_o because_o this_o physic_n of_o itself_o be_v very_o destructive_a and_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v let_v alone_o will_v never_o cease_v till_o it_o have_v bring_v we_o to_o despair_v and_o so_o kill_v we_o with_o a_o contrary_a disease_n therefore_o god_n have_v ordain_v the_o gospel_n for_o a_o cordial_n to_o abate_v and_o qualify_v the_o violence_n of_o this_o corrosive_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o be_v desperate_a and_o hopeless_a of_o health_n to_o meet_v with_o the_o rigour_n and_o sincerity_n of_o the_o law_n and_o to_o hold_v we_o up_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n by_o the_o offer_v of_o mercy_n in_o christ_n jesus_n the_o law_n be_v like_o a_o lance_n to_o open_v our_o tumor_n and_o to_o search_v our_o wound_n but_o as_o the_o lance_n of_o itself_o cure_v no_o sore_n so_o the_o law_n of_o itself_o heal_v none_o but_o make_v way_n only_o and_o propare_v for_o the_o gospel_n which_o apply_v the_o save_a plaster_n thereunto_o the_o law_n be_v our_o schoolmaster_n and_o whip_v we_o unto_o christ_n by_o give_v we_o a_o sense_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o terror_n of_o hell_n and_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o and_o then_o christ_n heal_v we_o with_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o both_o these_o work_n must_v be_v do_v in_o we_o if_o we_o mean_v to_o obtain_v our_o spiritual_a health_n otherwise_o for_o want_v of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n upon_o we_o we_o may_v perish_v through_o security_n and_o never_o know_v what_o disease_n we_o die_v of_o or_o else_o for_o want_v of_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o may_v perish_v through_o despair_n it_o may_v be_v some_o question_n which_o of_o these_o two_o be_v most_o pernicious_a but_o they_o be_v both_o deadly_a and_o if_o the_o question_n be_v which_o be_v most_o universal_o operative_a in_o its_o malignity_n security_n and_o presumption_n will_v be_v find_v i_o take_v it_o by_o much_o the_o more_o epidemical_a plague_n of_o the_o two_o and_o that_o there_o be_v many_o yea_o very_o many_o more_o perish_v by_o this_o then_o by_o that_o overwhelm_a sense_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o sin_n which_o render_v they_o hopeless_a and_o so_o helpless_a the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n die_v of_o a_o lethargy_n the_o devil_n deal_v much_o in_o opium_n and_o narcotick_n that_o stupefy_v

security_n and_o to_o fit_v they_o for_o mercy_n we_o be_v all_o for_o cordial_n in_o these_o time_n but_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o perceive_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o looseness_n and_o slumber_a condition_n that_o we_o be_v in_o that_o we_o have_v much_o more_o need_n of_o corrosive_n to_o eat_v away_o our_o dead_a flesh_n without_o which_o the_o cordial_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v usual_o rather_o strengthen_v our_o disease_n then_o our_o soul_n and_o rather_o hide_v &_o palliate_v then_o cure_v our_o wound_n one_o main_a reason_n why_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n go_v on_o no_o better_a among_o we_o in_o these_o day_n and_o i_o pray_v god_n it_o may_v find_v a_o timely_a reformation_n nothing_o kill_v more_o sure_o than_o do_v a_o false_a persuasion_n of_o our_o health_n and_o
