a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o melancholy_a and_o this_o 1_o as_o first_o god_n may_v make_v use_n of_o melancholy_a to_o bring_v in_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n as_o thus_o if_o it_o

and_o weigh_v thing_n than_o god_n make_v use_v of_o a_o degree_n of_o melancholy_a to_o make_v man_n and_o woman_n to_o know_v themselves_o and_o sin_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o their_o eternal_a

the_o philosopher_n say_v that_o the_o most_o eminent_a man_n in_o the_o world_n for_o great_a matter_n be_v melancholy_a because_o they_o be_v serious_a in_o their_o thought_n whereas_o otherman_n

be_v a_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n to_o be_v give_v over_o to_o a_o light_n vain_a spirit_n that_o consider_v nothing_o now_o when_o god_n make_v use_v of_o this_o particular_a degree_n of_o

so_o mighty_a and_o strong_a that_o it_o may_v alter_v the_o body_n and_o consume_v the_o very_a spirit_n in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o alter_v the_o temper_n of_o blood_n it_o may_v be_v so_o strong_a and_o powerful_a and_o so_o there_o may_v come_v melancholy_a in_o afterward_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o difference_n between_o melancholy_a and_o trouble_n

trouble_n of_o conscience_n many_o time_n come_v sudden_o as_o lightning_n diff._n 3_o melancholy_a trouble_n be_v exceed_v confuse_v but_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n be_v more_o distinct_a diff._n 4._o the_o more_o melancholy_a any_o have_v the_o less_o able_a be_v they_o to_o bear_v outward_a affliction_n but_o the_o more_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n the_o more_o able_a to_o bear_v outward_a affliction_n diff._n 5._o melancholy_n put_v a_o dulness_n upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n put_v a_o mighty_a activity_n upon_o man_n spirit_n diff._n 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 so_o sudden_o alter_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o work_v when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o bondage_n come_v to_o work_v it_o need_v no_o matter_n before_o no_o preparative_n matter_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o word_n be_v such_o as_o it_o work_v immediate_o without_o any_o preparation_n therefore_o many_o man_n that_o understand_v as_o little_a of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n as_o ever_o any_o do_v in_o their_o life_n and_o yet_o god_n let_v some_o truth_n reach_v they_o
god_n and_o say_v oh_o lord_n my_o god_n i_o be_o ashamed_a and_o blush_v to_o lift_v up_o my_o faee_n to_o thou_o my_o god_n for_o our_o iniquity_n be_v increase_v over_o our_o head_n and_o our_o trespass_n be_v grow_v up_o to_o the_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n there_o mark_v the_o prayer_n ezra_n make_v at_o the_o evening_n sacrifice_v when_o the_o time_n be_v come_v that_o he_o shall_v stir_v and_o seek_v god_n than_o his_o spirit_n be_v mighty_a active_a and_o stir_v though_o he_o be_v astonish_v before_o if_o it_o have_v be_v melancholy_a his_o heart_n will_v have_v sit_v still_o then_o so_o that_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n put_v life_n into_o the_o soul_n in_o prayer_n and_o so_o it_o make_v the_o soul_n active_a in_o meditation_n and_o contemplation_n melancholy_a people_n be_v dull_a and_o heavy_a and_o know_v not_o how_o to_o meditate_v nor_o what_o to_o meditate_v on_o those_o trouble_v in_o conscience_n oh_o what_o quick_a thought_n have_v they_o about_o god_n &_o christ_n and_o eternity_n and_o the_o law_n and_o sin_n and_o their_o soul_n work_v about_o such_o object_n that_o they_o can_v have_v no_o help_n unto_o from_o their_o body_n and_o sense_n and_o yet_o their_o spirit_n be_v raise_v high_a than_o before_o in_o their_o workingsâ—…_n and_o so_o when_o they_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n oh_o how_o active_a be_v their_o spirit_n in_o catch_v of_o the_o word_n and_o at_o every_o truth_n i_o appeal_v to_o you_o that_o be_v trouble_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o your_o spirit_n now_o and_o what_o they_o be_v before_o you_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n before_o you_o come_v to_o the_o congregation_n to_o see_v and_o be_v see_v and_o wonder_v what_o man_n mean_v to_o be_v so_o earnest_a and_o now_o you_o mark_v every_o truâ—h_n and_o catch_v hold_v of_o every_o sentence_n and_o mark_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o understand_v what_o be_v say_v before_o you_o come_v and_o hear_v and_o never_o understand_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n you_o see_v the_o minister_n earnest_n but_o you_o can_v not_o conceive_v what_o the_o man_n mean_v in_o his_o earnestness_n but_o now_o you_o see_v what_o he_o mean_v in_o his_o earnestness_n and_o understand_v what_o weight_n be_v in_o those_o truth_n you_o hear_v reveal_v this_o be_v somewhat_o like_a when_o the_o spirit_n be_v thus_o â—…ed_v and_o act_v in_o prayer_n and_o pear_v and_o in_o conference_n when_o you_o be_v in_o conference_n with_o good_a man_n before_o conference_n about_o good_a thing_n be_v dry_a and_o a_o dull_a thing_n and_o you_o savor_v not_o the_o thing_n confer_v on_o but_o present_o be_v asleep_a but_o now_o if_o you_o come_v where_o there_o be_v conference_n of_o god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o like_a your_o mind_n close_v with_o this_o if_o you_o be_v only_o melancholy_a this_o will_v make_v you_o more_o dull_a and_o heavy_a but_o this_o make_v you_o more_o lively_a and_o active_a therefore_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n last_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n can_v be_v cure_v as_o melancholy_n be_v melancholy_n many_o time_n be_v wear_v out_o with_o time_n and_o physic_n cure_v that_o and_o outward_a comfort_n and_o contentment_n cure_v that_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n be_v a_o wound_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n as_o francis_n spira_n say_v when_o they_o bring_v physician_n and_o think_v it_o trouble_v of_o body_n alas_o poor_a man_n they_o think_v to_o cure_v i_o by_o physic_n ah_o it_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o malady_n and_o must_v have_v another_o manner_n of_o medicine_n than_o plaster_n and_o drug_n to_o cure_v a_o faint_a soul_n and_o spirit_n for_o sin_n conscience_n must_v have_v gospel_n antidote_n therefore_o you_o that_o think_v you_o have_v trouble_v of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n and_o you_o be_v now_o ease_v or_o perhaps_o not_o so_o much_o trouble_v now_o as_o before_o look_v back_o what_o cure_v you_o how_o come_v it_o to_o

you_o you_o have_v such_o trouble_n but_o what_o have_v cure_v you_o many_o time_n one_o can_v give_v no_o account_n but_o this_o sure_a time_n have_v wear_v it_o away_o if_o so_o than_o it_o be_v

because_o sin_n be_v most_o against_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o man_n most_o opposite_a unto_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o man_n it_o deface_v that_o image_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o affliction_n for_o brethren_n of_o all_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n that_o god_n make_v angel_n and_o man_n be_v the_o only_a creature_n that_o god_n stamp_v his_o image_n

in_o the_o conclusion_n through_o the_o stubbornness_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o sinner_n that_o will_v prove_v the_o aggravation_n of_o their_o condemnation_n wherefore_o yet_o let_v i_o labour_v with_o your_o soul_n who_o know_v whether_o any_o of_o you_o shall_v hear_v i_o preach_v any_o one_o sermon_n more_o whether_o ever_o god_n will_v call_v after_o you_o any_o more_o to_o stop_v or_o

have_v to_o draw_v thy_o heart_n from_o the_o strength_n of_o all_o these_o truth_n deliver_v in_o these_o sermon_n sure_o it_o must_v be_v some_o mighty_a thing_n when_o such_o truth_n as_o these_o

all_o these_o sermon_n and_o all_o these_o thing_n what_o have_v thou_o such_o a_o heart_n that_o be_v set_v upon_o any_o sinful_a way_n any_o secret_a haunt_n of_o sin_n that_o thou_o find_v such_o

as_o will_v balance_v it_o therefore_o certain_o
of_o trouble_n that_o may_v follow_v and_o yet_o not_o his_o nature_n change_v as_o a_o wolf_n chain_v up_o may_v be_v the_o same_o that_o he_o be_v before_o he_o be_v chain_v up_o his_o nature_n be_v

when_o mere_o force_v 3_o if_o thou_o avoid_v sin_n mere_o for_o fear_n of_o affliction_n than_o thou_o be_v not_o yet_o unbottomed_a off_o from_o thyself_o not_o quite_o take_v off_o from_o thyself_o 4_o if_o thou_o avoid_v sin_n mere_o to_o prevent_v affliction_n than_o thou_o be_v not_o like_a to_o hold_v out_o that_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o nature_n nothing_o be_v perpetual_a that_o be_v violent_a and_o this_o be_v violent_a to_o avoid_v sin_n mere_o for_o fear_n of_o affliction_n such_o man_n and_o woman_n will_v not_o hold_v out_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o principle_n than_o this_o they_o will_v fall_v off_o at_o last_o they_o will_v abate_v at_o last_o and_o so_o they_o will_v come_v to_o fall_v off_o but_o you_o will_v say_v oh_o lord_n this_o be_v my_o condition_n i_o be_o afraid_a there_o be_v i_o suppose_v many_o in_o this_o congregation_n may_v and_o do_v apply_v these_o thing_n and_o it_o strike_v to_o their_o heart_n to_o think_v lord_n than_o i_o be_o afraid_a i_o have_v no_o grace_n at_o all_o for_o it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v avoid_v sin_n and_o have_v not_o go_v on_o in_o the_o same_o sin_n other_o have_v do_v but_o for_o my_o own_o part_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v mere_o out_o of_o fear_n of_o hell_n and_o affliction_n and_o trouble_v that_o will_v follow_v rather_o than_o from_o any_o other_o evil_a in_o sin_n what_o be_v there_o no_o grace_n in_o i_o that_o avoid_v sin_n for_o fear_n of_o affliction_n for_o the_o help_a of_o they_o that_o apply_v it_o otherwise_o than_o it_o shall_v be_v to_o conclude_v there_o be_v no_o grace_n at_o all_o therefore_o 1_o know_v that_o though_o the_o sensitive_a part_n may_v not_o be_v so_o much_o stir_v from_o the_o behold_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n as_o of_o affliction_n yet_o the_o rational_a part_n may_v more_o work_v against_o sin_n as_o sin_n than_o from_o affliction_n that_o follow_v how_o will_v this_o follow_v will_v you_o say_v that_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v not_o order_v by_o the_o sensitive_a thus_o if_o i_o put_v my_o finger_n in_o the_o fire_n there_o will_v be_v more_o pain_n to_o sense_n than_o if_o i_o endure_v that_o which_o be_v a_o hundred_o time_n worse_a as_o suppose_v a_o prince_n shall_v lose_v his_o kingdom_n that_o be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o to_o have_v his_o finger_n a_o little_a burn_v yet_o there_o will_v be_v more_o to_o sense_n for_o the_o instant_n than_o can_v be_v in_o the_o other_o but_o if_o he_o come_v to_o the_o rational_a part_n to_o choose_v which_o he_o will_v take_v he_o will_v rather_o take_v that_o which_o be_v most_o painful_a for_o the_o present_a so_o the_o trouble_a soul_n though_o to_o sense_n it_o find_v more_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o evil_a but_o if_o it_o be_v put_v to_o its_o choice_n he_o will_v choose_v any_o affliction_n rather_o than_o sin_n so_o that_o the_o rational_a part_n fear_v its_o sin_n more_o than_o its_o affliction_n for_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o that_o it_o may_v have_v its_o choice_n that_o it_o may_v commit_v such_o a_o sin_n without_o any_o affliction_n or_o such_o a_o affliction_n without_o sin_n which_o will_v you_o take_v certain_o that_o soul_n in_o the_o rational_a part_n will_v choose_v the_o affliction_n without_o sin_n rather_o than_o the_o sin_n without_o the_o affliction_n but_o yet_o i_o have_v here_o more_o to_o say_v to_o such_o to_o satisfy_v the_o conscience_n of_o those_o that_o be_v trouble_v and_o that_o say_v they_o be_v afraid_a that_o they_o avoid_v sin_n from_o fear_n of_o affliction_n to_o see_v if_o there_o may_v not_o yet_o be_v grace_n 2_o know_v therefore_o that_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o avoid_v sin_n mere_o from_o fear_n of_o affliction_n though_o he_o avoid_v the_o sin_n he_o never_o come_v to_o love_v the_o command_n that_o forbid_v that_o sin_n but_o be_v weary_a of_o god_n command_n but_o now_o a_o soul_n that_o do_v not_o only_o avoid_v sin_n through_o fear_n but_o withal_o have_v a_o love_n to_o that_o command_n that_o bind_v his_o spirit_n also_o if_o thou_o find_v it_o thus_o that_o thou_o have_v a_o love_n to_o that_o command_n that_o forbid_v that_o sin_n that_o thou_o do_v avoid_v certain_o thou_o do_v not_o avoid_v it_o mere_o from_o fear_n of_o affliction_n those_o that_o avoid_v sin_n mere_o from_o fear_n of_o affliction_n they_o do_v not_o commit_v sin_n because_o they_o dare_v not_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n will_v be_v glad_a if_o there_o be_v no_o command_n against_o it_o as_o it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o one_o that_o cry_v out_o oh_o that_o god_n have_v never_o make_v the_o seven_o commandment_n he_o have_v a_o enlighten_v conscience_n but_o a_o filthy_a heart_n but_o conscience_n now_o stand_v in_o his_o way_n he_o hate_v therefore_o the_o command_n that_o forbid_v that_o sin_n oh_o that_o that_o command_n have_v never_o be_v make_v say_v he_o so_o those_o that_o mere_o refrain_v sin_n from_o fear_n of_o trouble_n and_o hell_n though_o they_o keep_v from_o the_o sin_n yet_o they_o never_o love_v the_o command_n that_o forbid_v sin_n but_o if_o thy_o heartclose_n with_o the_o command_n and_o say_v it_o be_v good_a holy_a and_o righteous_a and_o bless_v be_v god_n for_o this_o holy_a law_n peace_n be_v to_o thy_o soul_n it_o be_v not_o thy_o case_n to_o avoid_v sin_n for_o fear_n of_o affliction_n but_o for_o sin_n itself_o 3_o to_o satisfy_v those_o conscience_n those_o that_o avoid_v sin_n mere_o from_o fear_n of_o affliction_n they_o be_v willing_o ignorant_a of_o many_o sin_n they_o do_v willing_o turn_v their_o eye_n from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o forbid_v sin_n true_a they_o dare_v not_o go_v on_o in_o the_o commission_n of_o those_o sin_n direct_o against_o conscience_n conscience_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o now_o because_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o sin_n they_o wink_v with_o their_o eye_n and_o be_v loath_a to_o be_v convince_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n because_o that_o they_o have_v a_o heart_n delight_v to_o close_v with_o the_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o deceit_n this_o way_n but_o now_o when_o a_o man_n or_o a_o woman_n conscience_n tell_v they_o this_o it_o be_v the_o desire_n of_o my_o soul_n to_o know_v any_o sin_n and_o if_o i_o find_v there_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o i_o be_o ignorant_a of_o in_o the_o way_n i_o walk_v i_o can_v spend_v night_n and_o day_n till_o i_o come_v to_o know_v it_o and_o when_o i_o have_v find_v it_o out_o i_o hope_v my_o soul_n shall_v come_v to_o rejoice_v that_o god_n have_v reveal_v that_o to_o be_v sin_n that_o before_o i_o know_v not_o to_o be_v sin_n but_o now_o one_o that_o avoid_v sin_n for_o fear_n of_o affliction_n if_o he_o know_v it_o not_o he_o can_v go_v on_o quiet_o and_o therefore_o be_v willing_a to_o go_v on_o in_o that_o ignorance_n and_o therefore_o be_v loath_a to_o take_v pain_n to_o know_v a_o sin_n to_o be_v sin_n if_o he_o have_v any_o fear_n of_o or_o suspicion_n that_o such_o a_o gainful_a way_n or_o
