my_o discourse_n all_o that_o may_v be_v say_v to_o manifest_v this_o truth_n unto_o you_o may_v be_v comprehend_v in_o those_o few_o line_n with_o which_o i_o conclude_v my_o former_a sermon_n on_o this_o text_n true_a faith_n root_n all_o fear_n out_o of_o a_o christian_n heart_n and_o turn_v all_o his_o expectation_n into_o hope_n even_o through_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o persuasion_n that_o all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o good_a to_o they_o that_o love_v god_n and_o also_o that_o himself_o be_v one_o of_o they_o i_o have_v now_o finish_v the_o doctrine_n i_o raise_v from_o this_o text_n that_o faith_n enable_v a_o man_n to_o draw_v comfort_n from_o all_o the_o object_n of_o his_o thought_n have_v show_v you_o particular_o how_o the_o faithful_a take_v comfort_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o concern_v themselves_o from_o whence_o as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n of_o my_o former_a sermon_n you_o may_v easy_o apprehend_v how_o they_o may_v also_o comfort_v themselves_o in_o the_o notice_n they_o take_v of_o other_o thing_n as_o of_o all_o those_o work_n of_o providence_n which_o they_o see_v in_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o extend_v my_o discourse_n to_o any_o of_o they_o but_o proceed_v to_o application_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v speak_v first_o to_o the_o faithful_a those_o that_o have_v take_v christ_n yoke_n upon_o they_o utter_o renounce_v the_o 2.7_o filthy_a conversation_n of_o the_o wicked_a those_o who_o mind_n earthly_a thing_n absolute_o resolve_v to_o walk_v with_o god_n in_o true_a holiness_n and_o righteousness_n all_o their_o day_n and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n be_v overbear_v by_o some_o sudden_a and_o impetuous_a temptation_n as_o the_o best_a of_o christian_n often_o be_v they_o fall_v back_o into_o any_o uncleanness_n not_o like_o swine_n in_o the_o mire_n to_o wallow_v in_o it_o but_o to_o repent_v and_o to_o cry_v unto_o god_n their_o father_n to_o

of_o mercy_n and_o god_n of_o all_o comfort_n that_o i_o may_v give_v you_o a_o more_o clear_a and_o manifest_a discovery_n of_o this_o happiness_n of_o a_o true_a christian_n i_o shall_v point_v as_o

demonstrate_v unto_o you_o this_o proposition_n or_o doctrine_n true_a faith_n enable_v a_o man_n etc._n etc._n in_o these_o three_o particular_n first_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n enable_v a_o man_n to_o draw_v comfort_n 1_o from_o the_o remembrance_n of_o what_o he_o have_v be_v of_o the_o condition_n he_o have_v former_o be_v in_o 2._o from_o the_o apprehension_n of_o that_o which_o he_o be_v in_o at_o present_a 3._o from_o the_o expectation_n of_o what_o he_o may_v be_v in_o for_o the_o future_a now_o these_o three_o thing_n what_o a_o man_n have_v be_v what_o he_o be_v and_o what_o he_o expect_v to_o be_v be_v the_o principal_a and_o most_o usual_a object_n of_o our_o thought_n therefore_o if_o i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o show_v you_o how_o a_o true_a faithful_a christian_n may_v draw_v matter_n of_o comfort_n from_o all_o these_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v easy_o apprehend_v how_o he_o may_v comfort_v himself_o also_o in_o the_o notice_n he_o take_v of_o other_o thing_n as_o of_o all_o the_o work_n of_o providence_n which_o he_o see_v in_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n or_o the_o like_a therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o extend_v my_o discourse_n to_o any_o of_o they_o each_o of_o the_o particular_n which_o i_o have_v propound_v unto_o myself_o to_o be_v insist_v upon_o as_o the_o subject_a and_o groundwork_n of_o my_o discourse_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n our_o condition_n be_v twofold_a viz._n of_o the_o inner_a and_o outward_a man_n or_o as_o the_o common_a word_n be_v spiritual_a and_o temporal_a at_o present_a i_o shall_v speak_v only_o of_o the_o temper_n and_o disposition_n of_o a_o christian_n spirit_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o spiritual_a condition_n past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v as_o for_o his_o temporal_a condition_n or_o the_o estate_n of_o his_o outward_a man_n i_o shall_v defer_v my_o discourse_n of_o that_o till_o some_o other_o opportunity_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o be_o to_o show_v you_o be_v that_o a_o true_a christian_n one_o that_o have_v take_v christ_n yoke_n upon_o he_o etc._n etc._n can_v take_v comfort_n find_v rest_n unto_o his_o soul_n in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o life_n past_a whether_o it_o have_v be_v sinful_a or_o holy_a but_o here_o probable_o some_o of_o you_o may_v present_o object_n within_o yourselves_o against_o what_o i_o say_v thus_o how_o can_v a_o true_a christian_a take_v comfort_n in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o sinful_a estate_n why_o what_o then_o be_v mean_v by_o penitence_n or_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v not_o that_o the_o sorrow_n which_o we_o conceive_v by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o our_o sin_n in_o remove_v this_o objection_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o by_o god_n assistance_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o full_a discovery_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o a_o christian_n can_v comfort_v himself_o through_o the_o help_n of_o god_n spirit_n even_o in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o sinful_a estate_n we_o grant_v that_o when_o he_o think_v of_o his_o sinful_a estate_n as_o sinful_a to_o wit_v as_o it_o relate_v to_o god_n as_o that_o course_n of_o life_n wherein_o he_o do_v so_o often_o dishonour_v the_o name_n of_o the_o god_n that_o make_v he_o of_o jesus_n that_o redeem_v he_o and_o grieve_v the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n that_o now_o sanctify_v he_o i_o say_v my_o brethren_n when_o a_o christian_n do_v this_o way_n look_v back_o upon_o his_o sinful_a life_n he_o can_v choose_v through_o indignation_n against_o himself_o but_o rent_v his_o heart_n vex_v his_o spirit_n cherish_v and_o foment_n his_o own_o sorrow_n say_v with_o david_n *_o 38.18_o i_o will_v be_v sorry_a for_o my_o sin_n but_o let_v we_o observe_v that_o this_o kind_n of_o sorrow_v be_v but_o as_o the_o take_n of_o physic_n it_o be_v not_o any_o disease_n or_o settle_a distemper_n of_o the_o soul_n i_o say_v when_o we_o be_v thus_o prick_v with_o the_o sharp_a sense_n and_o feeling_n of_o our_o sin_n we_o be_v not_o wound_v but_o let_v blood_n and_o this_o spiritual_a phlebotomy_n be_v that_o which_o cure_v we_o of_o our_o present_n and_o prevent_v future_a malady_n to_o speak_v more_o plain_o this_o godly_a sorrow_n as_o the_o *_o 7.10_o apostle_n
