it_o be_v sign_n that_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o thou_o as_o a_o stone_n it_o rest_v on_o the_o earth_n because_o it_o be_v the_o natural_a place_n of_o it_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o but_o that_o a_o infirmity_n may_v assault_v a_o man_n all_o his_o life_n for_o so_o some_o may_v as_o we_o shall_v show_v afterward_o but_o i_o say_v it_o come_v by_o fit_n and_o so_o be_v go_v this_o we_o see_v in_o david_n in_o peter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o their_o infirmity_n continue_v not_o so_o but_o that_o afterward_o they_o return_v to_o their_o course_n again_o second_o when_o a_o man_n 2_o amend_v not_o upon_o admonition_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n it_o be_v not_o a_o infirmity_n if_o a_o man_n intend_v to_o go_v to_o such_o a_o place_n and_o one_o shall_v meet_v he_o and_o tell_v he_o this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n and_o direct_v he_o into_o the_o right_a way_n he_o will_v thank_v he_o and_o return_v into_o the_o right_a way_n because_o that_o be_v the_o way_n he_o intend_v to_o go_v so_o if_o your_o face_n be_v set_v towards_o jeru_n salem_fw-la and_o one_o shall_v tell_v you_o here_o you_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n he_o will_v be_v glad_a of_o it_o and_o return_v so_o it_o be_v with_o david_n when_o he_o will_v have_v slay_v nabal_n in_o a_o passion_n &_o abigal_n meet_v he_o and_o stay_v he_o oh_o how_o thankful_a he_o be_v to_o god_n and_o she_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n it_o be_v but_o a_o infirmity_n and_o so_o in_o the_o case_n of_o vriah_n when_o nathan_n tell_v he_o he_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n prov._n 25._o 12._o he_o that_o reprove_v the_o wise_a and_o obedient_a it_o be_v as_o a_o golden_a ear_n ring_n or_o as_o a_o ornament_n of_o gold_n say_v solomon_n that_o be_v he_o who_o heart_n be_v upright_o who_o intent_n be_v to_o grow_v rich_a in_o

of_o his_o wickedness_n and_o not_o infirmity_n again_o three_o a_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n be_v always_o 3._o with_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n for_o that_o weakness_n now_o what_o be_v grief_n but_o the_o endeavour_n and_o strife_n of_o the_o will_n when_o a_o man_n can_v attain_v to_o that_o he_o will_v or_o will_v shun_v something_o he_o can_v avoid_v than_o he_o be_v grieve_v and_o pain_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n all_o the_o grief_n there_o be_v when_o a_o part_n or_o member_n can_v perform_v its_o office_n or_o function_n there_o so_o in_o the_o soul_n when_o it_o will_v fain_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n when_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v set_v on_o such_o or_o such_o a_o object_n and_o it_o can_v attain_v it_o then_o follow_v grief_n so_o here_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v draw_v up_o to_o please_v god_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o something_o come_v in_o the_o way_n that_o it_o can_v &_o therefore_o it_o be_v grieve_v and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 2._o cor._n 10._o 11._o the_o apostle_n make_v this_o sorrow_n a_o ground_n of_o their_o uprightness_n &_o it_o be_v certain_a where_o this_o grief_n be_v not_o mingle_v it_o be_v no_o infirmity_n every_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n 4._o produce_v a_o hearty_a complaint_n and_o a_o earnest_a desire_n and_o a_o serious_a endeavour_n to_o have_v it_o cure_v for_o every_o infirmity_n in_o a_o body_n that_o be_v quicken_v that_o have_v some_o life_n in_o it_o and_o so_o be_v sensible_a of_o it_o as_o in_o a_o disease_n that_o a_o man_n be_v sensible_a of_o he_o tell_v his_o friend_n or_o any_o other_o

in_o a_o infirmity_n or_o sickness_n of_o the_o soul_n a_o upright_a heart_n complain_v to_o his_o christian_n friend_n i_o have_v such_o a_o infirmity_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o cure_v it_o if_o

he_o pray_v three_o time_n that_o it_o may_v be_v remove_v he_o do_v not_o only_o complain_v as_o in_o the_o seven_o of_o the_o rom._n 24._o and_o desire_v that_o it_o may_v be_v heal_v as_o in_o

he_o use_v all_o good_a mean_n for_o the_o overcome_a of_o this_o infirmity_n and_o where_o this_o complaint_n desire_n and_o endeavour_n be_v want_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n it_o be_v not_o a_o man_n infirmity_n but_o iniquity_n five_o if_o thy_o sin_n be_v a_o sign_n sin_n of_o infirmity_n thou_o shall_v find_v in_o thyself_o a_o continual_a reluctancy_n and_o strife_n against_o it_o for_o as_o there_o be_v in_o thou_o a_o body_n of_o sin_n so_o also_o a_o body_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o other_o will_v not_o suffer_v thou_o to_o be_v at_o quiet_a the_o spirit_n will_v be_v against_o the_o flesh_n as_o well_o as_o the_o flesh_n against_o the_o spirit_n and_o as_o the_o flesh_n will_v not_o suffer_v thou_o to_o do_v a_o good_a duty_n without_o resist_v and_o interrupt_v thou_o so_o neither_o will_v the_o spirit_n suffer_v thou_o to_o sin_n without_o strive_v against_o and_o oppose_v it_o but_o if_o thou_o can_v sit_v down_o and_o let_v it_o rest_v without_o strive_v against_o it_o it_o be_v no_o infirmity_n but_o rebel_v lion_n therefore_o try_v thyself_o by_o these_o sign_n but_o other_o beside_o true_a christian_n be_v able_a to_o do_v 1._o this_o for_o take_v a_o unregenerate_a man_n and_o he_o will_v make_v the_o same_o plea_n for_o himself_o that_o it_o be_v but_o his_o infirmity_n indeed_o he_o be_v overtake_v sometime_o but_o it_o continue_v not_o and_o when_o he_o be_v admonish_v or_o reprooved_a he_o find_v his_o heart_n yeel_v to_o it_o and_o he_o grieve_v and_o be_v sorry_a for_o it_o he_o complain_v of_o it_o and_o seek_v to_o help_v it_o and_o strive_v against_o it_o and_o therefore_o these_o be_v not_o sure_a sign_n to_o distinguish_v he_o from_o another_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v answ._n something_o in_o a_o unregenerate_a man_n which_o be_v much_o like_a and_o come_v very_o near_o to_o that_o in_o the_o regenerate_a man_n he_o may_v do_v much_o by_o that_o light_n he_o have_v but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o broad_a difference_n between_o they_o for_o the_o regenerate_a man_n have_v another_o object_n about_o which_o he_o be_v conversant_a he_o have_v a_o new_a light_n put_v into_o his_o heart_n he_o be_v renew_a in_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o he_o have_v the_o law_n write_v in_o his_o heart_n 2._o cor._n 3._o 3_o heb._n 8._o 10._o that_o be_v all_o the_o spiritual_a duty_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n and_o he_o have_v something_o in_o his_o heart_n that_o answer_v to_o what_o be_v in_o the_o law_n as_o tally_n answer_v to_o tally_n or_o as_o that_o fashion_n in_o the_o lead_n to_o that_o in_o the_o mould_n or_o as_o in_o a_o seal_n character_n answer_v to_o i_o racter_n impression_n to_o impression_n so_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o seal_n the_o same_o be_v in_o the_o wax_n so_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n if_o you_o can_v see_v that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o jesus_n christ_n you_o shall_v see_v character_n for_o character_n print_n for_o print_n and_o so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o write_a law_n he_o will_v be_v a_o law_n unto_o himself_o to_o obey_v god_n perform_v duty_n according_a to_o the_o law_n write_v in_o his_o heart_n now_o when_o it_o stand_v thus_o with_o a_o man_n and_o something_o some_o impediment_n come_v in_o the_o way_n that_o he_o can_v serve_v god_n as_o he_o will_v the_o law_n of_o his_o member_n rebel_a against_o the_o law_n of_o his_o mind_n than_o this_o trouble_n and_o grieve_v he_o this_o he_o complain_v of_o and_o strive_v against_o and_o labour_n to_o have_v it_o mend_v but_o now_o a_o natural_a man_n difference_n have_v not_o the_o law_n thus_o write_v in_o his_o heart_n he_o have_v all_o thing_n reveal_v to_o he_o within_o his_o sphere_n to_o wit_n of_o nature_n he_o ascend_v no_o high_a and_o although_o he_o have_v good_a purpose_n and_o meaning_n and_o grieve_v and_o complain_v yet_o all_o this_o be_v for_o sin_n commit_v against_o

anoint_v for_o that_o very_a purpose_n and_o so_o for_o the_o bruising_n that_o arise_v from_o sin_n unmortified_a 2._o why_o christ_n have_v promise_v not_o to_o leave_v thou_o to_o thyself_o nor_o forsake_v thou_o but_o will_v the_o destroy_v all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o thou_o therefore_o go_v to_o christ_n and_o put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o this_o promise_n and_o say_v lord._n i_o be_o one_o of_o they_o to_o who_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v i_o be_o as_o a_o bruise_a reed_n and_o as_o smoke_a flax_n and_o thou_o have_v promise_v not_o to_o break_v a_o bruise_a reed_n

conscience_n conscience_n to_o be_v resolve_v first_o some_o will_v be_v ready_a 1_o to_o say_v that_o they_o have_v none_o of_o these_o bruise_n that_o they_o be_v not_o thus_o weary_a and_o heavy_a lade_v because_o they_o can_v grieve_v for_o sin_n so_o much_o as_o for_o other_o thing_n to_z w_z ch_z i_o answer_v there_o answer_n may_v be_v some_o violent_a and_o sudden_a grief_n which_o may_v exceed_v grief_n for_o sin_n as_o david_n grief_n for_o absalon_n but_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n the_o grief_n for_o sin_n be_v constant_a and_o perpetual_a but_o the_o grief_n for_o some_o loss_n or_o the_o like_a be_v but_o for_o the_o present_a now_o a_o spring_n that_o run_v and_o be_v never_o dry_a yield_v more_o water_n than_o a_o land_n flood_n which_o for_o the_o present_n seem_v great_a but_o be_v soon_o dry_v up_o so_o grief_n for_o sin_n be_v like_o water_n that_o run_v from_o a_o spring_n which_o continue_v and_o grief_n for_o other_o thing_n be_v like_o a_o land_n flood_n which_o last_v not_o long_a again_o they_o differ_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o term_n of_o this_o sorrow_n when_o a_o man_n have_v lose_v a_o friend_n he_o look_v on_o it_o as_o a_o total_a &_o irreparable_a loss_n and_o so_o grieve_v the_o more_o and_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n if_o we_o shall_v look_v on_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n as_o a_o thing_n irrevocable_o lose_v his_o grief_n for_o this_o will_v exceed_v the_o other_o but_o because_o he_o always_o conceive_v some_o glimpse_n of_o god_n favour_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o this_o mourning_n therefore_o this_o grief_n seem_v the_o less_o though_o in_o regard_n of_o continuance_n it_o be_v great_a oh_o but_o i_o have_v not_o attain_v case_n to_o a_o just_a measure_n of_o bruisednesse_n if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o measure_n of_o bruisednesse_n in_o answer_n thou_o as_o bring_v thou_o home_o to_o christ_n thou_o have_v attain_v a_o sufficient_a measure_n to_o bring_v thou_o to_o heaven_n but_o this_o distinction_n must_v be_v remember_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a bring_v of_o a_o man_n home_o to_o christ._n one_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v bring_v so_o far_o towards_o 1._o christ_n as_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o take_v the_o crown_n and_o partake_v of_o the_o privilege_n only_o but_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a but_o when_o thy_o sorrow_n shall_v so_o bring_v thou_o home_o to_o christ_n that_o thou_o be_v willing_a to_o take_v christ_n yoke_n on_o thou_o to_o subject_v thyself_o to_o christ_n in_o all_o thing_n so_o much_o sorrow_n and_o bruisednesse_n as_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o bring_v thou_o home_o oh_o but_o though_o i_o be_o case_n thus_o far_o bruise_v that_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o bear_v christ_n yoke_n and_o to_o do_v that_o he_o shall_v command_v i_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o this_o promise_n be_v perform_v to_o i_o god_n hide_v his_o face_n from_o i_o and_o i_o can_v find_v he_o who_o my_o soul_n love_v and_o that_o i_o can_v find_v that_o my_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o so_o for_o bruise_n belong_v to_o sanctification_n i_o have_v strive_v long_o against_o such_o a_o lust_n and_o can_v see_v it_o mortify_v any_o whit_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o christ_n in_o withhold_a answ._n the_o comfort_n and_o suffer_v thou_o to_o be_v more_o jade_v do_v ever_o fulfil_v this_o promise_n here_o make_v math._n 11._o 28._o come_v unto_o i_o etc._n etc._n but_o the_o objection_n may_v be_v make_v we_o have_v 1._o come_v unto_o thou_o and_o yet_o find_v no_o rest_n christ_n therefore_o add_v take_v my_o yoke_n on_o you_o and_o learn_v of_o i_o etc._n etc._n the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o government_n of_o christ_n the_o take_n of_o this_o yoke_n upon_o we_o be_v the_o subject_n ourselves_o to_o this_o government_n now_o the_o government_n of_o

christ_n yoke_n upon_o we_o we_o must_v do_v both_o now_o a_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o do_v many_o thing_n that_o christ_n command_v but_o stop_n at_o some_o thing_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n some_o duty_n which_o he_o will_v not_o do_v as_o prayer_n give_v of_o alm_n or_o some_o other_o and_o so_o also_o for_o suffering_n he_o be_v willing_a to_o endure_v some_o thing_n for_o christ_n
