befall_v he_o more_o grievous_a than_o it_o seem_v he_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v present_o the_o appetite_n apprehend_v some_o fear_n begin_v to_o be_v daunt_v and_o to_o step_v back_o as_o at_o some_o

who_o shall_v i_o fear_v the_o lord_n be_v the_o protector_n of_o my_o life_n of_o who_o then_o shall_v i_o be_v afraid_a sure_o i_o will_v not_o only_o not_o fear_n by_o god_n grace_n to_o under_o

of_o reason_n the_o passion_n of_o audacity_n that_o he_o may_v conflict_n with_o fear_n and_o prevail_v against_o it_o and_o so_o rise_v he_o admonish_v his_o disciple_n arise_v let_v we_o go_v

to_o render_v at_o least_o a_o like_a kind_n of_o revenge_n for_o the_o appetite_n will_v begin_v to_o complain_v say_v he_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v make_v so_o small_a account_n of_o i_o he_o may_v

the_o three_o kind_n of_o tame_v this_o passion_n may_v be_v this_o and_o most_o apt_a for_o such_o as_o will_v follow_v christ_n for_o as_o a_o lamb_n before_o the_o shearer_n he_o open_v not_o his_o

for_o beside_o the_o former_a thing_n we_o shall_v find_v many_o thing_n of_o much_o profit_n if_o we_o shall_v diligent_o mark_v that_o sometime_o this_o passion_n &_o sometime_o that_o as_o if_o

do_v hear_v the_o gospel_n and_o according_o do_v live_v move_v with_o threaten_n and_o promise_n therein_o contain_v yet_o without_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o excellent_a motive_n of_o which_o we_o

with_o the_o motive_n of_o god_n will_v let_v he_o consider_v that_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v except_o you_o also_o repent_v you_o shall_v all_o likewise_o perish_v in_o this_o threaten_a be_v

this_o meditation_n thou_o may_v contemplate_v these_o three_o point_n first_o the_o place_n itself_o and_o the_o eternity_n of_o it_o second_o the_o torture_n of_o the_o body_n in_o that_o place_n

and_o ever_o here_o then_o consider_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o hell_n be_v eternal_a first_o the_o damn_a himself_o be_v eternal_a not_o only_o in_o soul_n but_o in_o body_n too_o so_o that_o neither_o himself_n nor_o any_o other_o can_v kill_v he_o nor_o will_v god_n bring_v he_o to_o nought_o they_o shall_v seek_v death_n but_o shall_v not_o find_v it_o they_o shall_v desire_v to_o die_v 9.6_o apoc._n 9.6_o but_o death_n shall_v flee_v from_o they_o so_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o fulfil_v their_o desire_n that_o their_o mad_a desire_n to_o be_v bring_v to_o nothing_o shall_v increase_v their_o horrible_a torment_n in_o see_v they_o can_v obtain_v what_o they_o so_o infinite_o desire_v second_o the_o place_n itself_o be_v eternal_a 1.4_o eccles_n 1.4_o for_o as_o

will_v ever_o have_v have_v a_o purpose_n of_o sin_v against_o god_n why_o then_o will_v we_o make_v ourselves_o guilty_a of_o eternal_a punishment_n why_o do_v not_o this_o eternal_a fire_n fear_v we_o why_o do_v not_o this_o breath_n of_o god_n this_o worm_n this_o unchangeable_a decree_n of_o god_n disturne_v we_o and_o here_o further_o meditate_v first_o the_o continuedness_n of_o these_o

great_a difficulty_n in_o serve_v god_n after_o this_o sublime_a and_o heavenly_a manner_n for_o this_o purpose_n those_o that_o will_v serve_v god_n aright_o must_v consider_v their_o own_o

after_o this_o most_o divine_a manner_n proceed_v from_o sin_n which_o have_v weaken_v the_o soul_n and_o subdue_v it_o to_o itself_o for_o if_o sin_n have_v not_o interpose_v itself_o we_o shall_v have_v do_v every_o good_a thing_n with_o much_o facility_n but_o sin_n once_o arryve_v in_o the_o soul_n all_o our_o desire_n will_n and_o appetite_n be_v become_v so_o dissolute_a disorder_a and_o

and_o hence_o proceed_v the_o confusion_n and_o perturbation_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o we_o feel_v in_o ourselves_o so_o much_o distract_v from_o the_o true_a god_n whereunto_o we_o be_v create_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v absolute_o and_o only_o good_a be_v cast_v off_o we_o incline_v ever_o and_o greedy_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a yet_o must_v we_o know_v that_o howsoever_o this_o sin_n have_v make_v such_o a_o slaughter_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o soul_n that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o friend_n leave_v to_o take_v arm_n against_o it_o yet_o do_v not_o our_o obligation_n

aright_o which_o disposition_n have_v ever_o remain_v in_o the_o soul_n unto_o all_o good_a thing_n if_o sin_n have_v not_o disease_v it_o by_o how_o much_o more_o we_o shall_v have_v our_o appetite_n

the_o soul_n have_v the_o understanding_n wherewith_o to_o know_v the_o will_n wherewith_o to_o desire_v and_o diverse_a other_o faculty_n of_o the_o appetite_n but_o it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o

a_o singular_a instrument_n which_o to_o the_o production_n of_o the_o act_n be_v move_v by_o a_o good_a end_n therefore_o the_o most_o excellent_a instrument_n be_v the_o understanding_n and_o the_o

and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o saint_n paul_n say_v 4._o 1._o tim._n 4._o bodily_a labour_n profit_v little_a but_o the_o action_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o another_o kind_n namely_o because_o of_o
