to_o be_v exercise_v withal_o with_o direction_n for_o a_o christian_a life_n 1_o those_o temptation_n shall_v be_v lay_v to_o your_o charge_n whereunto_o you_o have_v yield_v etc._n etc._n yield_v not_o therefore_o but_o resist_v as_o s._n james_n bid_v 2_o no_o motion_n shall_v hurt_v you_o whereunto_o you_o give_v not_o consent_v in_o hart_n you_o have_v no_o sin_n which_o in_o heart_n you_o long_o to_o be_v free_v from_o you_o want_v no_o goodness_n which_o in_o heart_n you_o covet_v to_o have_v rom._n 7._o 3_o where_o sickness_n be_v at_o the_o high_a there_o be_v hope_n of_o diminish_v so_o likewise_o in_o temptation_n 4_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o discern_v a_o temptation_n in_o time_n of_o temptation_n 5_o when_o you_o will_v do_v any_o good_a or_o receive_v any_o good_a offer_v up_o your_o endeavour_n action_n and_o mean_n in_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n in_o christ_n beseech_v god_n to_o give_v his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o sanctify_v his_o own_o sacrifice_n 6_o if_o you_o have_v receive_v but_o a_o little_a release_n of_o temptation_n give_v thanks_o and_o you_o shall_v have_v more_o 7_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n as_o well_o to_o deny_v god_n gift_n as_o to_o presume_v of_o they_o 8_o temptation_n smother_v as_o fire_n burn_v more_o inward_o 9_o be_v persuade_v always_o you_o be_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o his_o christ_n and_o frame_v your_o action_n according_o 10_o be_v more_o afraid_a of_o secret_a sin_n then_o of_o open_a shame_n lay_v this_o foundation_n sure_a that_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o christ_n jesus_n 11_o remember_v the_o former_a mercy_n you_o have_v receive_v and_o think_v your_o present_a estate_n to_o be_v none_o other_o than_o the_o estate_n of_o god_n child_n if_o you_o be_v grieve_v pray_v to_o god_n if_o relieve_v praise_v he_o there_o be_v a_o vicissitude_n of_o grief_n and_o comfort_n as_o of_o light_n and_o darkness_n 12_o beware_v of_o a_o discontent_a mind_n in_o any_o case_n yea_o be_v content_v to_o have_v your_o desire_n deny_v you_o of_o god_n and_o if_o your_o prayer_n be_v not_o hear_v of_o god_n vex_v not_o yourself_o too_o much_o neither_o vehement_o covet_v nor_o be_v grieve_v for_o any_o thing_n save_v the_o have_v or_o loss_n of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n 13_o labour_n for_o meekness_n and_o patience_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o kiss_v the_o rod_n and_o to_o offer_v up_o all_o to_o he_o of_o who_o you_o have_v receive_v yourself_o for_o if_o you_o struggle_v it_o will_v fare_v with_o you_o as_o with_o a_o bird_n in_o a_o grin_n the_o more_o she_o strive_v the_o fast_o she_o be_v we_o must_v use_v the_o word_n in_o trouble_n and_o temptation_n as_o a_o sick_a man_n do_v his_o meat_n which_o though_o he_o eat_v against_o his_o stomach_n &_o present_o feel_v no_o benefit_n of_o it_o yet_o we_o know_v by_o experience_n it_o do_v he_o good_a and_o himself_o afterward_o shall_v perceive_v it_o 14_o the_o patient_a bear_n of_o misery_n be_v a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n for_o when_o the_o goldsmith_n put_v a_o piece_n of_o gold_n into_o the_o fire_n to_o make_v better_a use_n of_o it_o it_o seem_v to_o the_o unskilful_a that_o he_o utter_o mar_v it_o so_o the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o affliction_n seem_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o natural_a man_n undo_v and_o bring_v to_o nothing_o but_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v spiritual_o discern_v 15_o believe_v always_o your_o estate_n to_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o vary_v not_o therein_o for_o your_o humiliation_n your_o consolation_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o many_o other_o 16_o beware_v that_o you_o do_v not_o often_o alter_v your_o judgement_n of_o your_o estate_n as_o say_v sometime_o it_o be_v god_n work_n sometime_o melancholy_a sometime_o your_o weakness_n and_o simplicity_n sometime_o witchery_n sometime_o satan_n for_o these_o diverse_a thought_n will_v much_o trouble_v you_o you_o may_v think_v melancholy_a to_o be_v a_o occasion_n but_o no_o cause_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n therefore_o look_v steadfast_o to_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n sure_o trust_v on_o this_o that_o he_o not_o only_o know_v thereof_o but_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v do_v direct_o or_o indirect_o by_o mean_n or_o immediate_o all_o be_v do_v and_o govern_v by_o his_o divine_a providence_n for_o your_o good_a 17_o say_v not_o you_o can_v be_v help_v for_o that_o may_v hinder_v the_o work_n of_o god_n say_v not_o if_o i_o be_v in_o such_o a_o place_n and_o such_o a_o place_n i_o shall_v do_v well_o for_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o therefore_o every_o where_o aswell_o where_o you_o be_v as_o where_o you_o will_v be_v 18_o whereas_o in_o consideration_n of_o the_o fall_v away_o of_o many_o excel_v you_o both_o in_o the_o age_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n you_o fear_v you_o shall_v not_o persevere_v unto_o the_o end_n your_o meditation_n and_o collection_n be_v good_a so_o long_o as_o it_o preserve_v you_o from_o the_o carelessness_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o it_o be_v evil_a when_o it_o shall_v dissolve_v the_o assuredness_n of_o your_o faith_n indeed_o so_o long_o as_o you_o look_v upon_o yourself_o you_o have_v cause_n of_o fear_n because_o you_o be_v unable_a to_o prolong_v as_o you_o be_v to_o begin_v new_a birth_n but_o if_o you_o look_v to_o god_n you_o have_v nothing_o but_o matter_n of_o faith_n for_o that_o who_o he_o once_o love_v he_o love_v for_o ever_o again_o as_o a_o man_n that_o swim_v in_o the_o deep_a water_n be_v never_o in_o danger_n of_o drown_v so_o long_o as_o his_o head_n continue_v above_o the_o water_n so_o though_o you_o swim_v in_o deep_a sea_n of_o dangerous_a temptation_n yet_o be_v you_o sure_a and_o secure_a because_o christ_n jesus_n your_o head_n be_v still_o above_o all_o trouble_n and_o therefore_o be_v able_a to_o draw_v you_o his_o member_n to_o the_o shore_n of_o salvation_n without_o all_o peril_n of_o perish_v 19_o believe_v that_o god_n the_o father_n do_v govern_v your_o temptation_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v and_o do_v assist_v you_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v tempt_v to_o overcome_v in_o you_o that_o the_o saint_n on_o earth_n do_v pray_v for_o you_o even_o those_o which_o never_o know_v you_o but_o do_v pray_v for_o the_o tempt_v one_o 20_o none_o can_v judge_v of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o none_o can_v judge_v of_o the_o sun_n but_o by_o itself_o 21_o dispute_v not_o with_o god_n lest_o you_o be_v confound_v nor_o with_o satan_n lest_o you_o be_v overcome_v 22_o be_v ever_o persuade_v your_o punishment_n be_v far_o beneath_o your_o sin_n 23_o in_o such_o multitude_n of_o god_n mercy_n as_o you_o enjoy_v marvel_v not_o you_o have_v some_o cross_n god_n send_v blessing_n with_o cross_n lest_o we_o shall_v despair_v likewise_o cross_n with_o blessing_n lest_o we_o shall_v presume_v 24_o in_o any_o outward_a blessing_n which_o you_o see_v you_o can_v have_v beseech_v god_n you_o nay_o never_o be_v vex_v for_o it_o 25_o no_o shame_n grief_n or_o sorrow_n please_v the_o lord_n which_o go_v altogether_o separate_v from_o a_o sweet_a persuasion_n of_o his_o favour_n again_o our_o please_a ourselves_o in_o the_o assurance_n of_o pardon_n be_v not_o acceptableto_fw-it god_n which_o altogether_o reject_v the_o care_n of_o espy_v bewail_v and_o avoid_v of_o sin_n wherefore_o let_v this_o be_v the_o bar_n ●nd_v bond_n of_o your_o affection_n in_o these_o case_n so_o long_o as_o christ_n go_v with_o you_o so_o long_o as_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n accompany_v you_o so_o long_o as_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n shine_v upon_o you_o be_v dea●●ng_v with_o your_o sin_n and_o condemn_v they_o unto_o death_n likewise_o while_o you_o be_v tender_a of_o conscience_n afraid_a of_o sin_n reverent_o persuade_v to_o walk_v holy_o with_o your_o god_n laugh_v at_o satan_n accusation_n despise_v destruction_n and_o set_v at_o naught_o the_o terror_n of_o hell_n you_o never_o err_v one_o way_n nor_o other_o but_o by_o fail_v of_o one_o or_o both_o these_o point_n that_o be_v either_o in_o your_o grief_n you_o be_v grieve_v without_o comfort_n or_o in_o your_o joy_n you_o rejoice_v without_o reverence_n whereby_o it_o fall_v out_o in_o the_o end_n that_o as_o in_o unnecessary_a grief_n you_o can_v find_v no_o spiritual_a pleasure_n so_o in_o unaduised_a joy_n you_o can_v find_v no_o spiritual_a profit_n 26_o it_o be_v the_o policy_n of_o satan_n to_o blind_a and_o beset_v with_o a_o quiet_a possession_n of_o a_o unjust_a mirth_n
