where_o else_o either_o to_o be_v seek_v or_o find_v but_o in_o lesus_fw-la christ_n only_o where_o i_o beseech_v you_o first_o to_o mark_v both_o how_o this_o doctrine_n arise_v from_o hence_o and_o then_o the_o term_n in_o which_o i_o do_v propound_v and_o deliver_v the_o same_o it_o be_v gather_v from_o this_o place_n because_o our_o saviour_n call_v we_o unto_o he_o yea_o unto_o he_o alone_o which_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n and_o very_a truth_n indeed_o or_o if_o he_o alone_o have_v not_o have_v abundant_a yea_o infinite_a matter_n of_o strong_a and_o solid_a comfort_n in_o himself_o he_o will_v never_o have_v do_v as_o we_o have_v already_o hear_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o exercise_n and_o for_o the_o word_n i_o do_v not_o say_v there_o be_v no_o comfort_n to_o be_v find_v for_o meat_n drink_n sleep_n friend_n recreation_n and_o such_o like_a be_v comfort_n i_o confess_v but_o not_o true_a and_o sound_a comfort_n for_o a_o distress_a spirit_n for_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v inward_a and_o these_o be_v but_o outward_a &_o therefore_o be_v not_o fit_v for_o a_o person_n or_o party_n so_o affect_v and_o i_o will_v as_o soon_o think_v and_o say_v that_o bodily_a food_n be_v the_o proper_a and_o sound_a nourishment_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o suppose_v that_o these_o outward_a thing_n be_v the_o true_a and_o sound_a comfort_n of_o a_o break_a and_o contrite_a heart_n but_o that_o yet_o we_o may_v be_v the_o better_o persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o point_n let_v we_o proceed_v unto_o some_o further_a proof_n of_o it_o this_o be_v not_o in_o my_o mind_n obscure_o signify_v under_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a law_n whether_o they_o be_v ordinary_a or_o extraordinary_a daily_a or_o

sentence_n of_o the_o apostle_n 2._o cor._n 1.5_o as_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n abound_v in_o we_o so_o our_o consolation_n abound_v through_o christ._n by_o suffering_n of_o christ_n he_o mean_v not_o only_o those_o thing_n that_o we_o endure_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o persecuter_n for_o christ_n sake_n for_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o suffer_v that_o way_n but_o even_o those_o anguish_v also_o that_o we_o have_v in_o our_o soul_n and_o in_o our_o spirit_n christ_n be_v as_o much_o yea_o far_o more_o throw_v down_o and_o humble_v that_o way_n than_o all_o flesh_n as_o appear_v by_o

superaboundance_n of_o our_o joy_n above_o our_o grief_n then_o sure_a what_o by_o reason_n of_o satan_n malice_n against_o we_o and_o the_o dulness_n and_o hardness_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n to_o believe_v and_o the_o greatness_n of_o our_o grief_n &_o sorrow_n beside_o it_o will_v go_v hard_a with_o a_o distress_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o as_o for_o the_o comfort_v of_o we_o against_o the_o

where_o it_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n may_v endure_v his_o infirmity_n but_o a_o wound_a spirit_n who_o shall_v bear_v it_o and_o our_o own_o experience_n can_v witness_v it_o if_o either_o

for_o they_o will_v doubtless_o make_v his_o strength_n and_o power_n to_o appear_v in_o their_o weakness_n that_o other_o word_n heavy_a lade_v be_v metaphorical_a also_o and_o translate_v from_o bodily_a burden_n unto_o spiritual_a that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n which_o lie_v more_o hard_a upon_o the_o soul_n and_o spirit_n though_o worldly_a man_n feel_v they_o not_o than_o any_o outward_a do_v or_o can_v upon_o the_o body_n yea_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v press_v therewithal_o unto_o death_n because_o that_o only_o reach_v unto_o the_o

the_o soul_n almost_o to_o find_v no_o grief_n as_o in_o the_o martyr_n that_o have_v be_v so_o many_o way_n and_o so_o grievous_o torment_v may_v and_o do_v appear_v but_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v

and_o diverse_a kind_n of_o disease_n some_o recoverable_a and_o some_o unrecoverable_a and_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o much_o use_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o sin_n itself_o be_v compare_v unto_o a_o burden_n which_o may_v in_o part_n appear_v not_o only_o by_o this_o when_o the_o prophet_n call_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v fall_v upon_o man_n for_o their_o sin_n burden_n that_o so_o there_o may_v be_v some_o proportion_n between_o the_o iniquity_n they_o have_v commit_v &_o the_o punishment_n that_o be_v execute_v upon_o they_o for_o it_o but_o also_o by_o a_o plain_a place_n of_o the_o prophet_n david_n in_o that_o eight_o &_o thirty_o psalm_n that_o we_o sing_v before_o this_o sermon_n when_o he_o say_v my_o iniquity_n be_v go_v over_o my_o head_n and_o as_o a_o weighty_a burden_n they_o be_v too_o heavy_a for_o i_o to_o bear_v by_o all_o which_o we_o may_v see_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o slight_a or_o light_v a_o matter_n as_o man_n make_v it_o but_o a_o wonderful_a weight_n indeed_o whether_o we_o consider_v it_o in_o it_o own_o nature_n as_o be_v the_o fearful_a violation_n &_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o god_n that_o be_v offend_v
