here_o to_o christ_n and_o sometime_o more_o as_o they_o do_v when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o crosse._n and_o as_o it_o befall_v christ_n so_o do_v it_o to_o god_n child_n they_o have_v sometime_o one_o

point_n the_o time_n when_o these_o good_a angel_n come_v and_o minister_v unto_o christ_n be_v note_v in_o this_o word_n then_o that_o be_v when_o the_o devil_n have_v do_v all_o he_o can_v against_o our_o saviour_n christ_n they_o come_v not_o in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o assault_n but_o when_o satan_n have_v end_v his_o temptation_n and_o be_v go_v there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o good_a angel_n be_v always_o about_o our_o saviour_n christ_n attend_v on_o his_o bless_a person_n but_o at_o this_o time_n it_o be_v like_a they_o take_v upon_o they_o some_o visible_a shape_n that_o so_o their_o ministry_n may_v be_v the_o more_o comfortable_a unto_o he_o as_o it_o be_v like_a the_o devil_n appear_v in_o some_o shape_n for_o christ_n great_a terror_n in_o his_o temptation_n in_o this_o circumstance_n of_o time_n child_n we_o may_v observe_v a_o work_n of_o god_n providence_n which_o he_o please_v to_o exercise_v in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n upon_o his_o own_o child_n to_o wit_n for_o a_o time_n to_o hide_v his_o mercy_n from_o they_o withdraw_v the_o sensible_a feel_n of_o his_o favour_n thus_o he_o deal_v with_o his_o belove_a some_o christ_n jesus_n during_o

depart_v and_o so_o fare_v it_o many_o time_n with_o god_n dear_a child_n upon_o who_o he_o bestow_v the_o good_a grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n as_o a_o nourcing-mother_n to_o try_v the_o affection_n of_o her_o child_n will_v sometime_o hide_v herself_o from_o it_o leave_v it_o alone_o and_o suffer_v it_o to_o take_v a_o knock_n or_o a_o fall_n so_o will_v the_o lord_n leave_v his_o child_n to_o

for_o that_o they_o never_o feel_v any_o such_o conflict_n with_o the_o devil_n they_o defy_v he_o from_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o trust_v to_o god_n never_o to_o be_v trouble_v with_o he_o this_o be_v the_o common_a estate_n of_o most_o man_n those_o only_o except_v who_o have_v feel_v how_o hard_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v true_o to_o repent_v and_o believe_v thus_o to_o bless_v themselves_o in_o a_o carnal_a peace_n but_o silly_a soul_n they_o know_v not_o their_o own_o heart_n nor_o the_o fearful_a case_n in_o which_o they_o stand_v for_o all_o the_o true_a member_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v

yet_o no_o fellowship_n in_o his_o affliction_n they_o have_v not_o begin_v any_o conformity_n with_o christ_n so_o as_o it_o be_v like_a they_o be_v still_o bondslave_n unto_o satan_n for_o if_o they_o have_v escape_v out_o of_o his_o snare_n they_o shall_v feel_v his_o assault_n to_o get_v they_o in_o again_o in_o regard_n hereof_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v constrain_v to_o buckle_v hard_o with_o satan_n in_o temptation_n and_o to_o pray_v many_o a_o time_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o his_o buffet_n and_o indeed_o howsoever_o for_o the_o present_a this_o be_v not_o joyous_a yet_o they_o may_v count_v it_o exceed_v great_a gladness_n as_o the_o 2._o apostle_n say_v not_o only_o for_o this_o trial_n of_o their_o faith_n which_o bring_v forth_o patience_n but_o also_o because_o

with_o christ_n we_o shall_v also_o live_v with_o he_o and_o if_o we_o suffer_v we_o shall_v also_o reign_v with_o he_o add_v further_o that_o these_o man_n that_o never_o feel_v the_o assault_n of_o satan_n be_v as_o yet_o under_o a_o most_o fearful_a judgement_n of_o god_n in_o hardness_n of_o heart_n when_o christ_n say_v five_o thousand_o man_n with_o five_o loaf_n and_o two_o fish_n 41._o
