the_o lock_n we_o think_v may_v be_v there_o be_v some_o ward_n in_o the_o lock_n that_o be_v a_o little_a bent_n if_o that_o be_v mend_v it_o will_v do_v or_o the_o key_n be_v bend_v and_o rather_o than_o we_o will_v throw_v it_o away_o we_o will_v mend_v that_o may_v be_v i_o have_v bend_v some_o ward_n and_o a_o man_n will_v reason_v all_o he_o can_v before_o he_o will_v throw_v away_o the_o lock_n so_o when_o you_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o other_o that_o be_v of_o another_o opinion_n do_v not_o throw_v they_o away_o reason_n this_o way_n &_o that_o way_n because_o there_o be_v much_o in_o order_v man_n spirit_n in_o the_o communication_n of_o a_o truth_n unto_o they_o it_o be_v not_o always_o the_o evidence_n of_o a_o truth_n that_o be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v but_o the_o manner_n of_o present_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n of_o the_o difference_n of_o man_n spirit_n reason_n 3._o the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o sometime_o the_o grace_n of_o man_n do_v not_o burn_v out_o so_o clear_o and_o pure_o as_o they_o do_v at_o other_o time_n as_o in_o fire_n when_o you_o kindle_v a_o fire_n first_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o smoke_n and_o we_o see_v little_a brightness_n in_o the_o fire_n stay_v but_o a_o while_n and_o the_o smoke_n will_v be_v consume_v and_o the_o fire_n burn_v bright_a so_o in_o the_o grace_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n sometime_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o corruption_n when_o grace_n be_v kindle_v at_o first_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o smother_v but_o grace_n continue_v and_o work_v out_o that_o corruption_n and_o it_o burn_v more_o clear_o so_o in_o the_o sun_n when_o it_o rise_v in_o the_o morning_n it_o may_v be_v a_o great_a mist_n but_o when_o the_o sun_n be_v up_o a_o little_a while_n it_o consume_v the_o mist_n and_o shine_v clear_o so_o child_n when_o they_o be_v young_a may_v be_v they_o have_v many_o il_fw-fr humour_n afterward_o their_o natural_a strength_n consume_v their_o humour_n and_o so_o they_o be_v more_o active_a and_o stir_a so_o though_o the_o godly_a have_v not_o that_o disposition_n of_o heart_n to_o do_v that_o for_o god_n they_o shall_v yet_o when_o grace_n come_v to_o burn_v more_o clear_o they_o can_v do_v it_o reason_n 4._o four_o as_o grace_n be_v mix_v at_o first_o so_o sometime_o it_o be_v weak_a the_o part_n and_o member_n not_o be_v consolidate_v and_o strengthen_v when_o a_o infant_n come_v first_o into_o the_o world_n if_o you_o expose_v it_o to_o the_o cold_a it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o endure_v it_o which_o afterward_o it_o will_v do_v when_o the_o joint_n be_v set_v and_o so_o young_a plant_n can_v endure_v that_o frost_n which_o they_o will_v do_v afterward_o and_o so_o christian_n at_o first_o be_v as_o child_n carry_v away_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n till_o afterward_o they_o come_v to_o be_v more_o strong_a and_o then_o they_o be_v fit_a for_o service_n as_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v his_o disciple_n call_v to_o fast_v and_o pray_v they_o be_v hard_a duty_n while_o they_o be_v weak_a he_o have_v this_o expression_n no_o man_n put_v new_a wine_n into_o old_a bottle_n nor_o sow_v a_o new_a piece_n of_o cloth_n into_o a_o old_a garment_n for_o the_o bottle_n will_v break_v and_o the_o garment_n will_v rend_v in_o math_n 9.16.17_o the_o meaning_n be_v do_v not_o bring_v unsureable_a duty_n to_o man_n spirit_n fast_v and_o prayer_n be_v a_o duty_n but_o they_o be_v not_o strong_a enough_o for_o it_o yet_o note_v when_o people_n grow_v strong_a they_o shall_v be_v fit_a for_o duty_n service_n or_o suffer_v reason_n 5._o the_o five_o reason_n be_v because_o sometime_o our_o heart_n be_v fill_v with_o more_o heavenly_a consolation_n then_o at_o other_o time_n that_o do_v refresh_v the_o soul_n of_o god_n people_n as_o with_o new_a wine_n that_o they_o can_v go_v forth_o as_o a_o giant_n call_v they_o to_o any_o duty_n and_o they_o can_v go_v through_o fire_n and_o water_n as_o for_o sin_n when_o a_o man_n heart_n be_v warm_v with_o sin_n and_o they_o have_v have_v delight_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o their_o sin_n come_v and_o speak_v what_o you_o will_v against_o it_o and_o they_o can_v easy_o cast_v it_o off_o and_o so_o for_o duty_n when_o god_n people_n have_v be_v warm_v by_o duty_n and_o their_o spirit_n be_v refresh_v in_o god_n way_n with_o what_o resolution_n do_v they_o go_v and_o as_o that_o martyr_n mr._n saunders_n say_v that_o which_o make_v the_o difference_n in_o he_o be_v because_o god_n be_v please_v to_o come_v in_o with_o such_o refreshment_n to_o his_o spirit_n that_o he_o feel_v the_o consolation_n of_o god_n not_o only_o upon_o his_o soul_n but_o flow_v into_o his_o body_n and_o that_o put_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o courage_n in_o he_o and_o in_o the_o story_n that_o i_o have_v read_v of_o scotland_n mr._n knox_n report_v of_o a_o young_a man_n of_o eighteen_o year_n of_o age_n that_o suffer_v martyrdom_n under_o the_o bishop_n of_o glasgow_n and_o when_o he_o come_v to_o suffer_v he_o be_v mighty_o afraid_a and_o think_v to_o have_v recant_v and_o it_o please_v god_n that_o his_o spirit_n come_v in_o mighty_o to_o he_o at_o that_o time_n and_o he_o fall_v down_o on_o his_o knee_n and_o bless_a god_n bless_a lord_n say_v he_o great_a be_v thy_o mercy_n to_o man_n kind_n and_o to_o i_o poor_a wretch_n that_o be_v like_a to_o forsake_v christ_n my_o saviour_n and_o put_v myself_o into_o eternal_a damnation_n and_o now_o thou_o have_v come_v with_o the_o consolation_n of_o heaven_n and_o have_v fill_v my_o heart_n and_o now_o i_o be_o free_v from_o those_o fear_n that_o suppress_v my_o soul_n let_v man_n do_v what_o they_o can_v i_o be_o ready_a and_o to_o god_n sometime_o come_v to_o fill_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n with_o mighty_a consolation_n and_o that_o make_v a_o mighty_a difference_n reason_n 6._o the_o six_o reason_n be_v because_o sometime_o the_o breathe_n of_o god_n spirit_n not_o only_o in_o consolation_n but_o in_o assistance_n come_v more_o full_o then_o at_o other_o time_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n blow_v where_o it_o list_v and_o when_o it_o list_v john_n 3.8_o sometime_o more_o full_o sometime_o more_o scant_o say_v christ_n in_o math._n 10.19_o in_o that_o hour_n shall_v it_o be_v give_v you_o as_o mr._n glover_n when_o he_o be_v in_o his_o dump_n before_o yet_o when_o he_o be_v at_o the_o stake_n he_o cry_v to_o his_o friend_n austin_n he_o be_v come_v he_o be_v come_v and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o samson_n sometime_o the_o miraculous_a work_n of_o god_n spirit_n come_v upon_o he_o and_o then_o he_o be_v strong_a and_o so_o in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o his_o people_n and_o then_o they_o be_v strong_a though_o they_o be_v weak_a before_o isa_n 59.19_o when_o the_o enemy_n shall_v come_v in_o like_o a_o flood_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v lift_v up_o a_o standard_n against_o he_o so_o when_o there_o come_v a_o strong_a temptation_n like_o a_o flood_n that_o will_v bear_v he_o down_o than_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v lift_v up_o a_o standard_n and_o come_v in_o with_o abundance_n of_o assistance_n reason_n 7._o the_o seven_o reason_n be_v because_o sometime_o a_o man_n see_v his_o call_n to_o duty_n to_o suffering_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o clear_a than_o at_o other_o time_n and_o that_o put_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o strength_n as_o moses_n now_o see_v a_o further_o call_v to_o stand_v out_o against_o pharaoh_n and_o all_o his_o enemy_n and_o here_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o deceit_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n when_o a_o man_n be_v loath_a to_o put_v himself_o to_o trouble_v he_o can_v be_v convince_v of_o his_o call_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o deceit_n in_o this_o question_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o deceit_n in_o this_o answer_n 1._o when_o there_o be_v any_o work_n to_o do_v either_o in_o do_v or_o suffer_v hard_a thing_n if_o you_o say_v i_o do_v not_o see_v the_o lord_n call_v i_o put_v it_o to_o your_o heart_n again_o and_o say_v deal_v true_o and_o real_o with_o i_o do_v you_o not_o see_v the_o lord_n call_v second_o observe_v this_o rule_n if_o so_o be_v you_o have_v put_v off_o service_n or_o suffering_n upon_o this_o ground_n do_v but_o examine_v whether_o you_o find_v upon_o this_o that_o your_o heart_n be_v as_o stir_v and_o lively_a in_o all_o other_o service_n as_o before_o usual_o if_o man_n from_o sluggishness_n because_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o endure_v hardship_n shall_v put_v off_o the_o call_n of_o god_n their_o heart_n will_v fall_v more_o dead_a

and_o sluggish_a in_o other_o thing_n and_o if_o you_o keep_v your_o life_n in_o all_o other_o thing_n then_o though_o you_o do_v not_o that_o thing_n which_o some_o require_v of_o you_o it_o be_v a_o comfortable_a argument_n that_o you_o put_v it_o off_o because_o your_o call_v be_v not_o clear_a and_o not_o out_o of_o sluggishness_n three_o you_o may_v take_v such_o a_o course_n as_o your_o sluggishness_n may_v get_v nothing_o by_o it_o as_o thus_o take_v the_o advantage_n of_o your_o heart_n i_o can_v see_v that_o i_o be_o call_v to_o such_o a_o duty_n in_o which_o i_o must_v endure_v hardship_n and_o so_o i_o have_v spare_v myself_o in_o that_o yet_o the_o sluggishness_n and_o deadness_n of_o my_o heart_n shall_v get_v nothing_o by_o it_o for_o i_o will_v put_v forth_o myself_o so_o much_o the_o more_o in_o those_o duty_n that_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o be_o call_v to_o if_o our_o heart_n be_v thus_o we_o may_v have_v comfort_n it_o be_v not_o from_o our_o sluggishness_n reason_n 8._o the_o eight_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o may_v be_v agreat_a difference_n by_o this_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o temper_n of_o a_o man_n body_n especial_o in_o those_o that_o be_v sickly_a and_o weak_o they_o may_v find_v themselves_o in_o a_o mighty_a indisposition_n to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a at_o one_o time_n and_o a_o great_a disposition_n at_o another_o time_n and_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v no_o decay_n of_o grace_n but_o only_o the_o temper_n and_o order_n of_o a_o natural_a spirit_n reason_n 9_o the_o nine_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o may_v be_v a_o great_a difference_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o encourage_v occurrence_n of_o god_n providence_n sometime_o god_n guide_v they_o by_o his_o eye_n psalm_n 32.8_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o god_n guide_v by_o his_o word_n and_o by_o his_o eye_n by_o his_o word_n that_o be_v by_o some_o direction_n but_o his_o eye_n that_o be_v some_o providence_n to_o encourage_v they_o and_o according_a to_o the_o different_a occurrence_n of_o the_o encourage_v providence_n of_o god_n so_o there_o may_v be_v much_o difference_n in_o their_o spirit_n as_o in_o sin_n sometime_o man_n shall_v find_v thing_n so_o fit_a and_o pat_o for_o sin_n as_o they_o will_v have_v it_o and_o so_o sometime_o god_n people_n find_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n fall_v pat_o for_o they_o to_o encourage_v they_o and_o that_o make_v a_o difference_n chap_n 15._o contain_v the_o first_o use_v which_o teach_v we_o to_o entreat_v god_n not_o to_o take_v the_o advantage_n of_o we_o when_o our_o heart_n be_v low_a use_v 1._o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o all_o to_o entreat_v god_n not_o to_o take_v the_o advantage_n of_o we_o when_o our_o heart_n be_v low_a when_o we_o be_v in_o a_o disposition_n to_o that_o which_o be_v naught_o or_o a_o indisposition_n to_o that_o which_o good_a but_o that_o god_n will_v pity_v we_o and_o favour_v we_o and_o that_o god_n will_v never_o call_v we_o to_o do_v any_o great_a service_n or_o suffer_v for_o he_o but_o when_o he_o see_v we_o be_v in_o a_o disposition_n for_o it_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a mercy_n of_o god_n not_o to_o call_v out_o his_o people_n but_o at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o they_o be_v fit_a and_o so_o for_o temptation_n to_o sin_n god_n see_v what_o disposition_n there_o be_v in_o the_o best_a of_o we_o all_o he_o know_v how_o corruption_n be_v work_v many_o time_n and_o if_o a_o temptation_n to_o sin_n shall_v come_v at_o that_o time_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o we_o can_v not_o but_o forsake_v god_n and_o his_o cause_n and_o wound_v our_o conscience_n acknowledge_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n towards_o you_o in_o keep_v the_o temptation_n from_o you_o at_o such_o a_o time_n sometime_o we_o be_v wander_v from_o god_n if_o the_o roar_a lion_n shall_v meet_v we_o then_o how_o like_a be_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v devour_v sometime_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o stumble_v upon_o every_o straw_n and_o if_o god_n shall_v lay_v stumble_v block_n before_o we_o then_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o this_o be_v a_o mercy_n that_o god_n do_v not_o grant_v unto_o other_o for_o thus_o god_n very_o frequent_o deal_v with_o wicked_a man_n when_o there_o be_v a_o opportunity_n for_o they_o to_o enjoy_v the_o great_a good_a at_o that_o very_a time_n there_o shall_v be_v something_o fall_v out_o that_o shall_v put_v they_o in_o a_o opposition_n to_o that_o good_a as_o perhaps_o sometime_o god_n in_o his_o providence_n order_n it_o that_o a_o minister_n shall_v be_v partly_o upon_o such_o a_o subject_a as_o shall_v be_v marvellous_a useful_a and_o god_n be_v more_o than_o ordinary_a assist_v of_o he_o than_o something_o shall_v fall_v out_o to_o keep_v they_o from_o the_o exercise_n or_o the_o corruption_n shall_v be_v up_o to_o harden_v their_o heart_n or_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o occasion_n to_o take_v up_o their_o mind_n more_o than_o at_o another_o time_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o get_v that_o good_a they_o may_v but_o this_o be_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o those_o he_o intend_v good_a to_o that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o a_o opportunity_n to_o receive_v good_a when_o they_o be_v fit_a for_o it_o there_o be_v such_o a_o time_n if_o such_o a_o point_n have_v be_v handle_v their_o heart_n will_v have_v be_v unfit_a but_o at_o such_o a_o time_n such_o a_o point_n shall_v be_v handle_v and_o press_v on_o and_o say_v god_n i_o will_v order_v it_o so_o they_o shall_v break_v through_o difficulty_n to_o come_v to_o the_o exercise_n and_o though_o corruption_n will_v be_v stir_v i_o will_v order_v it_o so_o that_o corruption_n shall_v not_o be_v stir_v at_o that_o time_n and_o so_o sometime_o for_o temptation_n to_o sin_n god_n see_v many_o time_n how_o a_o corruption_n be_v up_o and_o he_o be_v fit_v for_o a_o temptation_n and_o if_o temptation_n shall_v come_v at_o that_o time_n he_o will_v be_v draw_v and_o will_v revive_v himself_o now_o those_o that_o god_n will_v curse_v he_o let_v satan_n eat_v upon_o they_o and_o let_v they_o go_v on_o at_o that_o time_n when_o their_o corruption_n be_v most_o up_o as_o now_o in_o the_o cause_n of_o ahab_n when_o ahab_n will_v go_v to_o ramouth_n gilead_n say_v god_n in_o 1_o king_n 22.21.22.23_o who_o shall_v persuade_v ahab_n that_o he_o may_v go_v there_o come_v forth_o a_o spirit_n and_o say_v i_o will_v persuade_v he_o how_o i_o will_v go_v and_o i_o will_v be_v a_o lie_a spirit_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o his_o prophet_n go_v say_v god_n and_o thou_o shall_v do_v it_o now_o have_v ahab_n be_v a_o godly_a man_n god_n will_v have_v stop_v he_o in_o his_o way_n as_o many_o godly_a sometime_o be_v in_o such_o a_o disposition_n to_o sin_n as_o if_o they_o have_v any_o encouragement_n they_o will_v do_v it_o but_o say_v god_n to_o satan_n do_v not_o go_v it_o be_v very_o observable_a how_o god_n take_v advantage_n upon_o wicked_a man_n as_o in_o gen._n 34.25_o simeon_n and_o levi_n ●ame_n upon_o the_o sichemite_n when_o they_o be_v sore_o so_o when_o many_o man_n be_v in_o such_o a_o disposition_n as_o they_o have_v no_o ability_n to_o resist_v a_o temptation_n than_o the_o devil_n come_v upon_o he_o as_o that_o be_v observable_a we_o have_v in_o those_o psalm_n psalm_n 35.6_o psalm_n 73.18_o in_o the_o 35_o psalm_n 6._o it_o be_v let_v their_o way_n be_v slippery_a and_o dark_a and_o let_v the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n persecute_v they_o see_v how_o god_n take_v the_o advantage_n of_o wicked_a man_n they_o be_v in_o a_o dark_a way_n and_o upon_o slippery_a ground_n than_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n persecute_v they_o when_o a_o man_n be_v upon_o a_o slippery_a ground_n he_o have_v need_n to_o have_v something_o to_o lean_v upon_o but_o when_o he_o be_v in_o a_o slippery_a place_n to_o have_v his_o enemy_n persecute_v he_o that_o be_v dangerous_a so_o god_n deal_v with_o the_o wicked_a it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o the_o godly_a when_o the_o godly_a be_v weak_a and_o their_o way_n be_v slippery_a god_n pity_v they_o and_o the_o good_a angel_n preserve_v they_o so_o when_o man_n be_v in_o a_o slippery_a way_n
