sit_v at_o the_o footstool_n be_v more_o worthy_a than_o he_o that_o have_v the_o chief_a place_n give_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o assembly_n and_o can_v it_o sound_v less_o strange_a in_o the_o ear_n of_o the_o world_n that_o the_o most_o despicable_a condition_n of_o a_o believer_n be_v far_o above_o the_o happiness_n of_o he_o that_o have_v all_o the_o honour_n and_o delight_n that_o the_o

so_o full_o as_o that_o it_o may_v serve_v to_o support_v and_o comfort_v afflict_a christian_n under_o all_o their_o pressure_n so_o as_o not_o to_o complain_v because_o they_o be_v in_o their_o

then_o good_a to_o bethink_v themselves_o of_o their_o folly_n and_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v no_o tenure_n like_o a_o interest_n in_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o happiness_n like_a to_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o believer_n which_o have_v its_o foundation_n lay_v in_o grace_n and_o not_o in_o greatness_n to_o this_o end_n let_v we_o in_o a_o

believer_n haply_o be_v in_o the_o world_n in_o no_o better_a condition_n than_o a_o strange_a that_o have_v little_a or_o no_o interest_n in_o its_o enfranchisement_n privilege_n and_o immunity_n which_o other_o daily_o find_v the_o sweet_a of_o in_o the_o many_o benefit_n that_o they_o enjoy_v he_o be_v frown_v upon_o when_o other_o be_v court_v and_o smile_v upon_o by_o those_o that_o have_v honour_n s_o and_o preferment_n in_o their_o power_n to_o bestow_v he_o live_v like_o israel_n in_o egypt_n under_o hard_a pressure_n when_o other_o rule_v and_o reign_v as_o lord_n he_o be_v friendless_a and_o find_v none_o either_o to_o pity_v his_o wrong_n or_o to_o do_v he_o the_o least_o right_a to_o his_o word_n to_o his_o sigh_n he_o find_v a_o deaf_a and_o regardless_o ear_n continual_o turn_v when_o other_o have_v the_o law_n open_a where_o they_o may_v implead_v their_o adversary_n and_o have_v friend_n that_o be_v willing_a to_o countenance_v they_o and_o ready_a to_o help_v they_o can_v he_o then_o that_o want_v all_o these_o thing_n be_v more_o happy_a than_o he_o who_o enjoy_v they_o yes_o for_o though_o a_o believer_n be_v a_o stranger_n here_o below_o yet_o he_o be_v a_o citizen_n of_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n which_o be_v above_o to_o which_o every_o worldly_a man_n be_v a_o foreigner_n ephes_n 2._o 12._o and_o from_o thence_o he_o that_o bend_v his_o

god_n as_o a_o father_n christ_n as_o a_o brother_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n as_o a_o comforter_n all_o who_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n can_v call_v by_o no_o such_o title_n though_o here_o his_o supplication_n and_o his_o tear_n avail_v not_o yet_o in_o heaven_n his_o prayer_n be_v register_v and_o his_o tear_n be_v bottle_a sect_n 2._o second_o a_o believer_n as_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n so_o also_o may_v he_o be_v afflict_v with_o want_n have_v little_a or_o nothing_o in_o possession_n to_o relieve_v his_o necessity_n he_o may_v want_v clothing_n for_o his_o back_n and_o

delight_v their_o palate_n all_o this_o and_o much_o more_o be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o lot_n and_o portion_n of_o many_o christian_n such_o of_o who_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a but_o yet_o let_v we_o view_v their_o condition_n so_o as_o to_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n who_o belly_n be_v fill_v with_o hide_a treasure_n and_o we_o shall_v quick_o see_v that_o a_o true_a judgement_n and_o estimate_n be_v make_v of_o both_o that_o the_o thorn_n of_o the_o one_o will_v smell_v sweet_a than_o the_o rose_n of_o the_o other_o his_o necessity_n will_v be_v
