A93682	A hand-kercheffe for a disconsolate soule, to wipe away his sinne, and to keep him from despaire, as though they had never been committed. / By Samuel Spinckes, minister of Gods word.	Spinckes, Samuel.	1651 (1651)	Wing S4981; Thomason E633_7; ESTC R206473	19,356	31

must_v not_o therefore_o conclude_v and_o say_v that_o because_o we_o be_v subject_a to_o temptation_n and_o because_o the_o sword_n be_v so_o predominant_a in_o our_o kingdom_n or_o because_o the_o seed_n of_o sin_n be_v still_o in_o we_o and_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v not_o full_o purge_v that_o therefore_o we_o be_v out_o of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o first_o for_o the_o sword_n so_o reign_v in_o the_o land_n we_o must_v confess_v it_o be_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o land_n which_o if_o once_o that_o cause_n be_v but_o removeed_o than_o the_o effect_n will_v

know_v that_o whensoever_o thou_o be_v in_o any_o temptation_n or_o doubt_n to_o trouble_v thy_o soul_n remember_v then_o i_o say_v that_o thy_o estate_n in_o this_o life_n be_v like_o peter_n on_o the_o water_n who_o faith_n at_o first_o be_v so_o strong_a that_o at_o the_o call_n of_o christ_n he_o come_v bold_o to_o he_o on_o the_o water_n without_o doubt_n but_o when_o he_o see_v the_o

like_a manner_n it_o be_v with_o a_o christian_a for_o at_o first_o when_o christ_n call_v he_o to_o faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v persuade_v by_o the_o spirit_n to_o believe_v than_o he_o come_v

own_o unthankfulness_n and_o the_o weakness_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o obedience_n and_o the_o unbelief_n and_o want_n of_o sanctification_n in_o he_o then_o the_o wave_n of_o satan_n temptation_n and_o corruption_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n assault_v he_o fear_v and_o doubt_n seize_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o sink_v down_o into_o the_o sea_n of_o despair_n for_o want_n of_o faith_n i_o say_v if_o this_o be_v thy_o estate_n and_o thy_o case_n as_o peradventure_o it_o may_v what_o then_o must_v thou_o do_v herein_o only_o this_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v thy_o own_o

we_o can_v yet_o alas_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v constrain_v to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v but_o unprofitable_a servant_n luke_n 17.10_o and_o for_o peace_n in_o ourselves_o we_o can_v find_v any_o so_o that_o as_o noah_n dove_n be_v constrain_v to_o fly_v back_o again_o into_o the_o ark_n before_o she_o can_v find_v whereon_o to_o rest_v the_o sole_a of_o her_o foot_n gen._n 8.9_o so_o be_v we_o
