Tending to the comfort of such persons as, being afflicted in conscience for their sins, are, by the delusions of Satan, brought to the brinke of despaire, through feare that they have fallen into that unpardonable sinne. Written some space of time since, by that godly and judicious divine M. William Bradshaw, sometime fellow of Sydny Colledge in Cambridge; and publish'd by his sonne Iohn Bradshaw.

to_o wage_v war_n against_o those_o that_o adhere_v still_o unto_o he_o which_o be_v yet_o far_o more_o fearful_a than_o the_o former_a 4_o for_o a_o traitorous_a wretch_n have_v so_o go_v out_o

when_o without_o warrant_n from_o the_o word_n and_o direction_n from_o those_o that_o have_v better_a insight_n in_o the_o same_o he_o take_v authority_n to_o arraign_v judge_n and_o condemn_v himself_o when_o he_o be_v not_o his_o own_o but_o god_n to_o judge_v and_o condemn_v man_n must_v assent_v to_o god_n judgement_n and_o sentence_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n and_o measure_v their_o judgement_n and_o condemnation_n by_o it_o not_o judge_n or_o condemn_v of_o themselves_o as_o a_o man_n except_o he_o have_v commission_n from_o god_n may_v not_o judge_v or_o condemn_v another_o to_o a_o bodily_a death_n so_o much_o less_o may_v he_o judge_v or_o condemn_v himself_o to_o eternal_a death_n we_o have_v power_n to_o deserve_v hell_n but_o we_o have_v no_o power_n to_o condemn_v ourselves_o too_o hell_n 2_o he_o that_o yield_v to_o this_o temptation_n what_o do_v he_o in_o effect_n but_o give_v himself_o to_o the_o devil_n acknowledge_v himself_o of_o right_a to_o belong_v to_o he_o and_o not_o to_o god_n and_o to_o be_v actual_o a_o subject_n of_o his_o kingdom_n for_o he_o that_o shall_v pass_v such_o a_o condemnation_n as_o this_o against_o himself_o know_v that_o there_o be_v but_o two_o spiritual_a kingdom_n he_o know_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o such_o a_o sinner_n and_o that_o therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o belong_v to_o the_o other_o now_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a presumption_n to_o give_v away_o a_o soul_n which_o christ_n have_v reckon_v at_o so_o high_a a_o price_n that_o he_o have_v purchase_v it_o with_o

have_v bestow_v upon_o he_o shall_v but_o work_v to_o his_o further_a condemnation_n 5_o though_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o they_o that_o be_v afraid_a that_o they_o have_v commit_v this_o sin_n neither_o ever_o have_v nor_o ever_o shall_v commit_v this_o sin_n so_o long_o as_o they_o continue_v so_o affect_v yet_o to_o admit_v of_o such_o conceit_n be_v the_o next_o way_n in_o the_o
