stroke_n upon_o we_o our_o affliction_n be_v so_o heavy_a as_o we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o bear_v it_o ourselves_o true_o it_o be_v wisdom_n then_o and_o a_o duty_n to_o call_v in_o help_n in_o

be_v first_o of_o all_o to_o take_v off_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n to_o make_v the_o soul_n undervalue_v the_o mean_n and_o to_o cast_v off_o the_o mean_n thus_o he_o tempt_v

then_o he_o persuade_v to_o undervalue_v the_o mean_n for_o while_o a_o soul_n be_v thus_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o god_n way_n mercy_n be_v not_o far_o off_o therefore_o the_o devil_n great_a

the_o better_a for_o other_o prayer_n and_o thus_o the_o devil_n discourage_v the_o soul_n from_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n second_o design_n satan_n design_n be_v to_o drive_v the_o soul_n upon_o the_o rock_n of_o despair_n to_o make_v a_o soul_n to_o cast_v away_o his_o confidence_n why_o will_v you_o hope_v any_o long_o and_o pray_v any_o long_o you_o see_v all_o be_v in_o vain_a god_n hear_v not_o your_o prayer_n god_n hear_v not_o other_o for_o you_o other_o have_v pray_v and_o cry_v in_o your_o behalf_n and_o there_o be_v no_o answer_n and_o your_o misery_n be_v great_a than_o before_o and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v you_o wait_v any_o long_o satan_n great_a design_n be_v to_o make_v a_o soul_n cast_v away_o all_o his_o hope_n and_o confidence_n and_o to_o dash_v and_o break_v it_o in_o piece_n upon_o tha●_n rock_n but_o now_o god_n have_v a_o design_n of_o mercy_n in_o it_o though_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o affliction_n grow_v great_a and_o great_a after_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n yet_o god_n have_v a_o design_n of_o mercy_n for_o by_o that_o first_o of_o all_o god_n will_v teach_v the_o soul_n not_o to_o rest_v upon_o the_o mean_n but_o upon_o himself_o satan_n design_n be_v to_o draw_v the_o creature_n from_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n and_o god_n design_n be_v to_o draw_v the_o creature_n more_o to_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n and_o true_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o drive_v ourselves_o upon_o this_o work_n either_o to_o cast_v off_o prayer_n or_o else_o to_o rest_v upon_o the_o mean_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o a_o poor_a soul_n be_v so_o cast_v down_o when_o as_o it_o have_v be_v wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n have_v be_v pray_v look_v to_o the_o promise_n and_o have_v be_v call_v in_o the_o help_n of_o other_o i_o say_v we_o be_v apt_a in_o this_o case_n to_o show_v forth_o the_o frowardness_n of_o our_o spirit_n which_o do_v evidence_n that_o we_o look_v too_o much_o to_o the_o mean_n we_o think_v prayer_n shall_v save_v we_o and_o upon_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o come_v in_o we_o be_v murmur_v now_o the_o lord_n will_v teach_v we_o this_o to_o use_v the_o mean_n but_o not_o to_o rest_v upon_o the_o mean_n but_o to_o rest_v upon_o himself_o upon_o his_o arm_n for_o salvation_n and_o upon_o his_o free_a grace_n and_o not_o upon_o any_o mean_n second_o god_n have_v this_o design_n when_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o creature_n seem_v to_o grow_v worse_o and_o worse_o after_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n why_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o present_o help_v it_o be_v because_o that_o he_o will_v appear_v at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o his_o work_n of_o deliverance_n will_v be_v most_o glorious_a he_o will_v come_v in_o the_o most_o seasonable_a time_n when_o as_o deliverance_n shall_v be_v most_o welcome_a and_o that_o be_v at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o all_o mean_n fail_v when_o the_o creature_n have_v try_v all_o mean_n whatsoever_o as_o the_o woman_n that_o have_v the_o issue_n of_o blood_n she_o go_v from_o physician_n to_o physician_n and_o yet_o the_o worse_a oh_o the_o cure_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n be_v welcome_a and_o so_o when_o the_o poor_a man_n bring_v his_o son_n to_o the_o disciple_n he_o try_v all_o mean_n and_o the_o disciple_n can_v not_o cast_v the_o devil_n out_o oh_o when_o all_o mean_v fail_v that_o be_v the_o time_n for_o christ_n to_o step_v in_o the_o lord_n will_v then_o appear_v at_o such_o a_o season_n when_o poor_a creature_n be_v bring_v to_o the_o low_a state_n when_o a_o poor_a soul_n say_v lord_n we_o have_v use_v such_o and_o such_o mean_n but_o still_o worse_o and_o worse_o oh_o lord_n we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v but_o our_o eye_n be_v towards_o thou_o oh_o this_o be_v a_o time_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v draw_v nigh_o to_o his_o people_n and_o therefore_o to_o reflect_v a_o little_a upon_o this_o do_v god_n make_v this_o to_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o any_o of_o you_o have_v we_o be_v under_o some_o great_a affliction_n and_o burden_n and_o some_o great_a temptation_n and_o have_v be_v use_v all_o mean_n and_o still_o we_o find_v it_o grow_v worse_o and_o worse_o according_a to_o our_o own_o apprehension_n worse_o after_o prayer_n than_o before_o more_o temptation_n after_o prayer_n than_o before_o more_o temptation_n after_o look_v to_o the_o promise_n then_o before_o if_o this_o be_v thy_o condition_n be_v not_o discourage_v for_o this_o have_v be_v the_o condition_n of_o many_o of_o god_n people_n this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n here_o before_o thou_o she_o be_v worse_a after_o prayer_n then_o before_o she_o be_v worse_a after_o the_o disciple_n have_v pray_v for_o she_o than_o she_o meet_v with_o a_o flat_a denial_n and_o christ_n say_v to_o she_o that_o he_o be_v not_o send_v but_o to_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o woman_n of_o

this_o be_v your_o condition_n oh_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o devil_n design_n the_o devil_n design_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o be_v to_o make_v you_o undervalue_v the_o mean_n and_o to_o drive_v you_o to_o despair_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o devil_n design_n and_o though_o this_o shall_v be_v your_o condition_n do_v not_o think_v the_o worse_a of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n do_v not_o

and_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v not_o now_o cast_v away_o all_o hope_n satan_n will_v tell_v you_o that_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n concern_v you_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n have_v pray_v for_o you_o and_o now_o no_o hope_n oh_o know_v that_o that_o temptation_n will_v drive_v you_o upon_o the_o rock_n of_o despair_n but_o oh_o that_o you_o will_v look_v to_o god_n and_o know_v that_o he_o have_v a_o design_n of_o mercy_n towards_o you_o nay_o in_o this_o very_a thing_n that_o it_o be_v worse_a and_o worse_o with_o you_o he_o have_v a_o design_n of_o mercy_n in_o it_o he_o will_v draw_v

covenant_n of_o god_n for_o brethren_n if_o a_o visible_a profession_n can_v give_v right_o to_o a_o ordinance_n there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v have_v any_o ground_n for_o the_o administration_n of_o a_o ordinance_n to_o other_o if_o not_o upon_o a_o visible_a profession_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n can_v be_v certain_o assure_v who_o be_v the_o true_a israel_n of_o god_n and_o who_o belong_v to_o the_o election_n of_o god_n no_o man_n can_v have_v certain_a assurance_n of_o another_o man_n condition_n but_o as_o he_o judge_v in_o charity_n upon_o his_o profession_n so_o that_o a_o outward_a profession_n give_v right_a to_o a_o visible_a be_v in_o covenant_n and_o so_o to_o a_o partake_n of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n second_o there_o be_v another_o way_n of_o right_n as_o i_o conceive_v hold_v forth_o in_o the_o scripture_n by_o which_o some_o person_n have_v right_a to_o this_o visible_a covenant_n of_o god_n and_o so_o to_o some_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n such_o as_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o that_o be_v god_n gracious_a own_n of_o they_o i_o say_v god_n gracious_a declaration_n in_o the_o word_n that_o he_o will_v own_v such_o and_o such_o and_o

for_o so_o the_o lord_n declare_v when_o he_o make_v that_o everlasting_a covenant_n with_o abraham_n that_o he_o will_v take_v in_o he_o and_o his_o seed_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v visible_o under_o

and_o yet_o that_o ordinance_n i_o hope_v be_v not_o in_o vain_a and_o seem_v to_o be_v more_o suitable_a to_o god_n grace_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n to_o have_v a_o ordinance_n the_o subject_n

the_o set_n of_o a_o seal_n to_o a_o blank_a i_o answer_v if_o god_n have_v put_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n into_o the_o same_o covenant_n with_o their_o parent_n if_o their_o name_n shall_v be_v find_v write_v in_o the_o covenant_n why_o then_o to_o set_v to_o the_o seal_n will_v be_v no_o set_v a_o seal_n to_o a_o blank_a but_o their_o name_n be_v write_v and_o
