thing_n do_v by_o the_o soul_n the_o lord_n be_v now_o fit_v and_o prepare_v the_o soul_n for_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o bless_a spirit_n and_o in_o this_o great_a work_n of_o preparation_n the_o lord_n work_v these_o three_o thing_n christ._n first_o he_o stop_n the_o soul_n from_o go_v on_o any_o long_a in_o sin_n second_o he_o weary_v the_o soul_n with_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n three_o by_o hatred_n the_o soul_n be_v bring_v to_o go_v away_o from_o those_o carnal_a lust_n and_o corruption_n with_o a_o secret_a dislike_n of_o those_o sin_n which_o he_o have_v be_v weary_v withal_o in_o all_o these_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o patient_a and_o undergo_v the_o work_n of_o humble_v and_o break_v rather_o than_o it_o be_v any_o way_n active_a and_o operative_a thus_o the_o heart_n be_v turn_v away_o from_o sin_n and_o set_v against_o those_o corruption_n which_o heretofore_o it_o be_v burden_a with_o as_o it_o be_v with_o wheel_n of_o a_o clock_n when_o the_o wheel_n have_v run_v wrong_a before_o a_o man_n can_v set_v they_o right_n again_o he_o must_v stop_v it_o and_o turn_v it_o to_o its_o right_a place_n and_o all_o these_o be_v mere_o wrought_v upon_o the_o wheel_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o workman_n for_o of_o itself_o it_o have_v no_o poise_n nor_o weight_n to_o run_v right_a but_o when_o the_o clocke-master_n put_v to_o his_o plummet_n than_o it_o be_v able_a to_o run_v of_o itself_o though_o the_o workman_n hand_n be_v not_o there_o so_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v the_o great_a wheel_n of_o this_o curious_a clock_n of_o the_o soul_n these_o wheel_n do_v natural_o of_o themselves_o run_v all_o helward_n and_o sin-ward_n and_o devil-ward_n now_o before_o the_o soul_n can_v receive_v a_o new_a principle_n of_o grace_n first_o the_o lord_n unmaske_v a_o man_n and_o make_v he_o come_v to_o a_o stand_n and_o make_v he_o see_v hell_n gape_v for_o he_o thus_o the_o heart_n be_v at_o a_o maze_n second_o the_o lord_n lay_v the_o weight_n of_o sin_n and_o corruption_n upon_o he_o and_o that_o do_v sink_v the_o soul_n with_o the_o horror_n and_o vexation_n and_o loathsomnesse_n of_o his_o sin_n three_o than_o the_o soul_n be_v carry_v away_o from_o sin_n by_o hatred_n and_o dislike_n and_o say_v be_v this_o the_o fruit_n of_o sin_n that_o delight_v i_o oh_o than_o no_o more_o malice_n no_o more_o drunkenness_n thus_o the_o heart_n be_v turn_v away_o but_o after_o the_o soul_n be_v once_o bring_v on_o to_o god_n by_o faith_n and_o go_v to_o god_n &_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n of_o which_o we_o shall_v speak_v afterward_o this_o be_v a_o new_a principle_n of_o life_n and_o out_o of_o this_o gracious_a disposition_n the_o soul_n be_v now_o grow_v to_o hate_v sin_n free_o and_o to_o knock_v off_o the_o finger_n from_o corruption_n and_o beat_v down_o his_o lust_n and_o to_o love_n god_n free_o out_o of_o that_o power_n of_o grace_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v into_o the_o soul_n now_o you_o must_v know_v that_o all_o this_o while_n i_o speak_v of_o the_o first_o work_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v turn_v by_o the_o spirit_n against_o his_o sin_n be_v former_o burden_a with_o the_o same_o sin_n this_o do_v ever_o accompany_v a_o heart_n true_o break_v for_o sin_n sin_n there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o sorrow_n and_o hatred_n sorrow_n feel_v the_o burden_n but_o hatred_n fling_v it_o away_o sorrow_n loosn_v the_o heart_n but_o hatred_n let_v out_o the_o corruption_n sorrow_n say_v do_v sin_n thus_o pinch_v the_o soul_n and_o hatred_n say_v no_o more_o sin_n then_o thus_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o spirit_n prepare_v the_o soul_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n see_v what_o the_o prophet_n say_v 30.31_o you_o shall_v consider_v your_o way_n and_o your_o do_n that_o be_v not_o good_a and_o shall_v loathe_v yourselves_o a_o poor_a christian_n will_v tear_v his_o heart_n in_o piece_n in_o the_o apprehension_n of_o his_o own_o vileness_n and_o say_v good_a lord_n shall_v i_o ever_o be_v plague_v and_o annoy_v with_o this_o sturdy_a malicious_a heart_n and_o shall_v i_o ever_o carry_v this_o vile_a heart_n about_o i_o that_o will_v one_o day_n carry_v i_o to_o hell_n if_o thou_o be_v not_o the_o more_o merciful_a this_o make_v a_o man_n even_o fall_v out_o with_o himself_o again_o see_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v for_o this_o thing_n you_o have_v have_v godly_a sorrow_n but_o what_o have_v it_o wrought_v in_o you_o do_v it_o work_v a_o holy_a indignation_n and_o revenge_n against_o your_o sinful_a course_n that_o when_o thy_o soul_n see_v his_o filthy_a abomination_n rise_v swell_a and_o bubble_v within_o thy_o heart_n it_o take_v on_o exceed_o and_o will_v scarce_o own_v itself_o but_o look_v away_o from_o sin_n and_o be_v weary_a of_o itself_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o same_o nay_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o thou_o can_v be_v content_a to_o live_v without_o a_o heart_n even_o to_o forgo_v thyself_o that_o so_o thou_o may_v not_o be_v trouble_v with_o that_o vile_a heart_n of_o thou_o and_o so_o dishonour_n god_n no_o long_o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v it_o when_o a_o man_n be_v bring_v thus_o far_o oh_o he_o cry_v to_o god_n and_o say_v lord_n be_v there_o ever_o any_o poor_a sinner_n thus_o pester_v with_o a_o vile_a heart_n oh_o that_o this_o heart_n shall_v ever_o be_v so_o opposite_a against_o the_o lord_n lord_n except_o i_o have_v a_o better_a heart_n i_o will_v i_o have_v none_o at_o all_o thus_o the_o heart_n loathe_v itself_o and_o in_o what_o measure_n the_o soul_n be_v carry_v with_o a_o restless_a dislike_n of_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v sin_n in_o the_o same_o degree_n it_o be_v most_o violent_a against_o those_o sin_n whereby_o he_o have_v most_o dishonour_v god_n 19.8_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o zacheus_n his_o heart_n do_v most_o rise_v against_o his_o master_n sin_n so_o the_o lord_n have_v humble_v the_o repentant_a church_n 30.21.22_o thou_o shall_v defile_v thy_o grave_a image_n of_o silver_n and_o the_o ornament_n of_o thy_o golden_a image_n thou_o shall_v cast_v they_o away_o as_o a_o menstruous_a cloth_n and_o say_v get_v you_o hence_o they_o hate_v all_o sin_n but_o especial_o their_o idolatrous_a course_n so_o it_o will_v be_v with_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v true_o break_v he_o will_v cast_v away_o with_o hatred_n all_o his_o please_a and_o profitable_a sin_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o first_o passage_n quest._n 2_o the_o second_o passage_n be_v this_o wherein_o do_v this_o true_a hatred_n consist_v that_o a_o man_n may_v know_v whether_o he_o have_v sin_n or_o no_o answ._n answer_v this_o hatred_n or_o dislike_n consist_v in_o these_o four_o particular_n consist_v first_o if_o the_o soul_n do_v true_o hate_v sin_n than_o it_o be_v very_o willing_a to_o make_v search_n for_o it_o in_o every_o corner_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o any_o sin_n that_o he_o can_v know_v himself_o he_o be_v willing_a that_o any_o christian_n or_o any_o friend_n shall_v make_v they_o know_v unto_o he_o a_o king_n that_o hate_v a_o traitor_n that_o will_v kill_v he_o and_o a_o man_n that_o hate_v a_o thief_n that_o will_v rob_v he_o they_o be_v willing_a that_o any_o man_n shall_v discover_v that_o traitor_n or_o thief_n discover_v and_o they_o will_v entertain_v he_o kind_o and_o reward_v he_o for_o it_o when_o the_o ziphite_n come_v to_o saul_n 25.20.21_o and_o tell_v he_o where_o david_n be_v mark_v what_o he_o say_v oh_o bless_a be_v you_o of_o the_o lord_n for_o you_o have_v have_v compassion_n upon_o i_o just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o break_a bleed_a heart_n that_o have_v a_o open_a hatred_n against_o his_o corruption_n if_o any_o minister_n or_o christian_n will_v make_v know_v some_o base_a lust_n that_o lurk_v in_o his_o soul_n he_o will_v not_o fly_v out_o and_o say_v what_o be_v that_o to_o you_o every_o tub_n must_v stand_v upon_o his_o own_o bottom_n and_o if_o i_o sin_v i_o must_v answer_v for_o it_o nay_o he_o will_v bless_v the_o lord_n for_o it_o and_o say_v bless_a be_v the_o lord_n and_o bless_v be_v such_o a_o minister_n &_o bless_a be_v such_o a_o neighbour_n for_o they_o have_v show_v i_o my_o sin_n and_o have_v compassion_n upon_o my_o soul_n second_o as_o the_o soul_n desire_v to_o have_v sin_n reveal_v so_o it_o desire_v to_o have_v sin_n kill_v and_o it_o make_v no_o matter_n how_o it_o be_v kill_v or_o by_o who_o so_o it_o be_v kill_v at_o all_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o soul_n which_o true_o hate_v sin_n be_v ever_o seek_v to_o those_o mean_n that_o be_v most_o able_a to_o give_v strength_n to_o he_o and_o to_o over_o come_v his_o corruption_n and_o be_v

heart_n have_v former_o receive_v from_o god_n spirit_n be_v for_o sanctification_n come_v after_o justification_n and_o after_o the_o soul_n have_v receive_v faith_n and_o grace_n than_o the_o heart_n have_v a_o new_a power_n give_v unto_o it_o whereby_o it_o be_v able_a to_o set_v forth_o itself_o into_o any_o holy_a action_n so_o that_o in_o this_o a_o man_n be_v a_o free_a worker_n whereas_o sorrow_n in_o preparation_n be_v a_o work_n wrought_v on_o i_o and_o i_o be_o a_o patient_a and_o do_v only_o endure_v it_o but_o i_o have_v not_o any_o spiritual_a power_n to_o do_v any_o

of_o that_o poise_n and_o weight_n they_o have_v get_v so_o that_o these_o two_o be_v plain_a different_a action_n just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o 〈◊〉_d of_o the_o soul_n the_o will_n and_o the_o

the_o affection_n embrace_v nothing_o but_o hell_n and_o sin_n now_o to_o bring_v these_o into_o any_o holy_a order_n the_o lord_n must_v stop_v the_o soul_n and_o that_o be_v do_v by_o the_o

scripture_n be_v plain_a and_o reason_n be_v pregnant_a scripture_n be_v many_o i_o will_v only_o name_v three_o as_o that_o in_o luke_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n come_v to_o seek_v and_o to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v 19.10_o we_o may_v observe_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o qualification_n of_o that_o party_n who_o christ_n will_v seek_v and_o save_v save_v he_o must_v be_v a_o lose_a man_n in_o his_o own_o apprehension_n second_o see_v the_o certainty_n of_o salvation_n of_o such_o a_o one_o christ_n come_v for_o this_o end_n he_o come_v to_o seek_v up_o and_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v now_o christ_n will_v not_o miss_v of_o his_o end_n he_o come_v for_o the_o lose_a sheep_n than_o the_o lose_a sheep_n he_o will_v have_v &_o though_o the_o lose_a sheep_n can_v seek_v nor_o save_v themselves_o yet_o christ_n will_v save_v they_o thus_o you_o see_v all_o man_n must_v be_v thus_o dispose_v before_o they_o can_v be_v save_v and_o if_o thus_o fit_v and_o dispose_v they_o shall_v be_v certain_o save_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v in_o a_o miserable_a estate_n and_o damnable_a condition_n but_o he_o must_v also_o see_v it_o and_o his_o heart_n must_v be_v true_o affect_v with_o it_o and_o find_v and_o feel_v the_o but_o then_o of_o it_o not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o punishment_n but_o for_o the_o sin_n whereby_o his_o heart_n be_v estrange_v from_o god_n and_o also_o god_n from_o his_o soul_n now_o that_o the_o sensibleness_n of_o his_o lose_a condition_n be_v there_o speak_v of_o and_o this_o man_n that_o have_v it_o shall_v be_v save_v may_v appear_v because_o the_o sensibleness_n of_o a_o man_n condition_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n be_v such_o as_o a_o man_n may_v have_v and_o yet_o never_o have_v grace_n and_o salvation_n cain_n have_v the_o feel_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o feel_v the_o punishment_n of_o it_o and_o so_o do_v judas_n also_o and_o yet_o they_o be_v never_o seek_v

the_o heart_n in_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o sin_n so_o that_o he_o feel_v the_o vileness_n and_o the_o burden_n of_o it_o and_o be_v content_a to_o part_v with_o the_o fame_n when_o the_o lord_n
