account_v it_o all_o joy_n say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o you_o fall_v into_o trial_n and_o affliction_n but_o now_o he_o can_v never_o rejoice_v in_o sin_n no_o man_n can_v rejoice_v in_o sin_n

though_o god_n do_v work_v good_a out_o of_o it_o nay_o further_o that_o good_a a_o gracious_a heart_n have_v sometime_o by_o affliction_n may_v encourage_v he_o to_o be_v more_o willing_a to_o go_v

of_o this_o consider_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o put_v all_o the_o good_a in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o suppose_v the_o

observe_v it_o those_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v mighty_o mistake_v that_o think_v i_o have_v be_v a_o sinful_a creature_n indeed_o but_o now_o i_o will_v amend_v and_o reform_v and_o be_v better_o that_o by_o add_v some_o good_a to_o their_o former_a sinful_a life_n it_o will_v make_v all_o good_a oh_o know_v that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o evil_n in_o sin_n that_o the_o addition_n of_o all_o the_o good_a of_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n can_v make_v it_o less_o evil_a than_o before_o so_o that_o you_o must_v not_o only_o now_o think_v to_o live_v better_a &_o add_v

to_o help_v forward_o such_o a_o grace_n 2_o a_o second_o end_n may_v be_v to_o do_v good_a to_o other_o and_o i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a if_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o save_v

that_o god_n do_v not_o account_v sin_n only_o according_a to_o man_n intention_n in_o sin_v what_o man_n intend_v but_o what_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sin_n tend_v unto_o not_o what_o i_o do_v

these_o do_v but_o shadow_v out_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n we_o may_v mention_v many_o more_o to_o show_v you_o the_o evil_n of_o sin_n and_o in_o that_o the_o scripture_n make_v use_v of_o so_o many_o evil_a thing_n to_o show_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n this_o show_v sin_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n in_o it_o seven_o as_o god_n infinite_a goodness_n be_v set_v out_o thus_o that_o he_o be_v his_o own_o happiness_n and_o blessedness_n in_o this_o god_n do_v appear_v to_o be_v infinite_o good_a because_o he_o be_v his_o own_o good_a and_o happiness_n there_o be_v no_o high_a good_a to_o

to_o be_v exceed_o miserable_a but_o that_o it_o may_v become_v exceed_o sinful_a so_o that_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o sin_n be_v that_o which_o set_v out_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n more_o than_o any_o other_o thing_n do_v it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o the_o heathen_a seneca_n it_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n to_o have_v sin_n so_o it_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o virtue_n to_o have_v they_o

6._o trouble_v of_o conscience_n can_v be_v cure_v the_o way_n melancholy_a may_v first_o melancholy_a it_o be_v many_o time_n in_o man_n and_o woman_n where_o there_o be_v most_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o god_n and_o of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o their_o eternal_a estate_n it_o may_v consist_v with_o gross_a ignorance_n many_o melancholy_a people_n be_v most_o ignorant_a and_o sottish_a and_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n can_v never_o come_v without_o some_o new_a light_n of_o god_n dart_v in_o and_o settle_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n it_o come_v always_o with_o some_o enlighten_v work_n of_o the_o spirit_n melancholy_n be_v many_o time_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o darkness_n within_o the_o mind_n be_v dark_a where_o melancholy_a prevail_v and_o many_o time_n gross_a ignorance_n but_o never_o any_o true_a trouble_n of_o conscience_n but_o god_n come_v in_o with_o some_o light_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v trouble_v and_o say_v it_o be_v for_o sin_n i_o put_v this_o to_o you_o what_o have_v god_n discover_v to_o you_o now_o more_o than_o before_o what_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v god_n settle_v upon_o their_o heart_n more_o than_o before_o if_o they_o can_v give_v no_o further_o account_v of_o no_o other_o light_n let_v into_o they_o than_o before_o or_o further_a truth_n let_v in_o upon_o their_o heart_n than_o before_o then_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v suspect_v not_o to_o be_v trouble_n for_o sin_n as_o many_o melancholy_a people_n have_v the_o name_n of_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n and_o they_o have_v fear_n of_o hell_n because_o of_o dark_a thought_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o the_o soul_n except_o it_o be_v with_o convincement_n of_o some_o new_a light_n or_o settle_v some_o truth_n more_o upon_o the_o soul_n than_o before_o second_o melancholliness_n come_v by_o degree_n upon_o man_n and_o woman_n alteration_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o sudden_a thing_n the_o temper_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n body_n can_v sudden_o be_v alter_v to_o any_o extremity_n but_o gradual_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n come_v many_o time_n as_o a_o flash_n of_o lightning_n from_o heaven_n many_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v come_v to_o the_o congregation_n with_o scornful_a spirit_n profane_a wicked_a and_o ungodly_a never_o know_v what_o sin_n mean_v nor_o trouble_v for_o sin_n mean_v and_o god_n have_v meet_v with_o they_o in_o the_o word_n and_o fasten_v some_o sentence_n upon_o their_o heart_n so_o that_o they_o fall_v down_o under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o that_o come_v just_a as_o a_o arrow_n strike_v into_o their_o liver_n and_o they_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o it_o &_o have_v go_v away_o with_o horror_n of_o soul_n and_o therefore_o this_o have_v not_o be_v melancholliness_n certain_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n never_o
