and_o therefore_o i_o be_o not_o pardon_v i_o answer_v first_o thou_o may_v have_v it_o hereafter_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o yet_o attain_v it_o yea_o thou_o shall_v have_v it_o if_o thou_o continue_v to_o beg_v it_o yea_o i_o answer_v again_o this_o be_v a_o false_a accusation_n thou_o have_v faith_n for_o he_o that_o do_v so_o acknowledge_v the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o conclude_v christ_n can_v pardon_v i_o and_o therefore_o follow_v he_o with_o continual_a supplication_n for_o pardon_n he_o have_v faith_n and_o a_o good_a measure_n of_o faith_n too_o for_o how_o shall_v they_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o who_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v say_v the_o apostle_n &_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o the_o blind_a man_n that_o confess_v he_o can_v help_v they_o and_o run_v cry_v after_o he_o for_o help_v according_a to_o your_o faith_n be_v it_o unto_o you_o well_o therefore_o thou_o do_v believe_v and_o though_o thy_o faith_n may_v be_v weak_a yet_o some_o it_o be_v &_o that_o so_o much_o as_o shall_v make_v thou_o accept_v for_o weakness_n of_o faith_n can_v hinder_v remision_n of_o sin_n see_v the_o apostle_n be_v pardon_v who_o yet_o our_o saviour_n

more_o take_v from_o want_n of_o feeling_n yea_o from_o feeling_n of_o great_a terror_n even_o from_o god_n first_o i_o answer_v to_o that_o objection_n take_v from_o want_n of_o feeling_n it_o may_v be_v thou_o think_v that_o thou_o have_v no_o feel_n but_o have_v thou_o not_o sometime_o when_o thou_o pray_v earnest_o some_o little_a kind_n of_o ease_n and_o refresh_n and_o hope_v if_o thou_o have_v why_o that_o be_v feel_v though_o thou_o do_v not_o know_v it_o and_o i_o think_v scarce_o any_o christian_n can_v say_v he_o have_v continue_v long_o to_o pray_v but_o he_o have_v have_v some_o such_o feel_n second_o i_o answer_v if_o thou_o have_v have_v yet_o no_o feel_n thou_o may_v have_v in_o due_a time_n for_o thou_o take_v the_o right_a way_n to_o get_v it_o and_o again_o i_o answer_v david_n have_v as_o little_a feel_n as_o thou_o have_v when_o he_o complain_v 83._o psal_n 119.82_o 83._o that_o his_o eye_n fail_v in_o wait_v for_o god_n salvation_n and_o that_o he_o be_v

before_o must_v not_o live_v by_o feeling_n but_o by_o faith_n yea_o he_o must_v believe_v first_o and_o feel_v after_o sense_n will_v deceive_v in_o the_o judge_n of_o colour_n and_o quantity_n how_o much_o more_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n that_o be_v above_o sense_n wherefore_o what_o conclusion_n may_v be_v due_o diduct_v out_o of_o scripture_n that_o be_v most_o true_a and_o certain_a though_o a_o man_n have_v no_o feel_n of_o it_o yea_o though_o he_o feel_v the_o contrary_n be_v this_o conclusion_n i_o have_v my_o sin_n pardon_v or_o shall_v have_v may_v be_v diduct_v out_o of_o scripture_n for_o such_o a_o man_n as_o feel_v nothing_o but_o overwhelm_a grief_n thus_o all_o that_o be_v heavy_a lade_v come_v unto_o christ_n shall_v be_v refresh_v but_o jam_fw-la heavy_a lade_v and_o come_v unto_o christ_n therefore_o i_o shall_v be_v refresh_v and_o find_v rest_n to_o my_o soul_n for_o he_o come_v to_o christ_n heavy_a lade_v that_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o great_a anguish_n continue_v to_o cry_v and_o pray_v therefore_o must_v he_o labour_v to_o support_v himself_o with_o hope_n that_o his_o case_n shall_v be_v good_a howsoever_o it_o be_v for_o the_o present_a and_o so_o animate_v himself_o to_o continue_v pray_v and_o cry_v §_o 2._o yea_o but_o i_o find_v myself_o even_o weary_a of_o pray_v and_o ready_a to_o faint_v &_o give_v over_o i_o answer_v so_o do_v david_n too_o psal_n 69._o when_o he_o say_v his_o eye_n do_v fail_v and_o he_o be_v weary_a of_o cry_v and_o yet_o he_o cry_v still_o and_o so_o do_v thou_o which_o so_o long_o as_o thou_o do_v thou_o be_v in_o none_o other_o estate_n than_o he_o be_v and_o therefore_o in_o a_o good_a estate_n only_o so_o that_o thou_o will_v be_v content_a as_o i_o say_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o feel_v yea_o but_o i_o be_o not_o alone_o void_a of_o all_o peace_n and_o comfort_n but_o even_o fill_v with_o fear_n &_o terror_n i_o answer_v so_o be_v david_n too_o in_o divers_a place_n by_o name_n psal_n 69.1_o where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o water_n be_v come_v unto_o his_o soul_n and_o that_o he_o stick_v fast_o in_o the_o mire_n if_o any_o say_v this_o be_v mean_v alone_o of_o

he_o unto_o such_o complaint_n sure_o there_o be_v more_o in_o it_o then_o so_o his_o soul_n also_o be_v well_o near_o overwelm_v with_o temptation_n &_o fear_n of_o god_n displeasure_n as_o well_o as_o thou_o so_o be_v he_o that_o make_v the_o 77._o psalm_n he_o say_v my_o soul_n refuse_v comfort_n he_o neither_o can_v nor_o scarce_a will_v take_v comfort_n yea_o complain_n will_v the_o lord_n
