A90892	A sermon preached upon Psalm 22, the former part of the first verse wherein is shewed, how, when and wherefore God doth desert his children, unto which is also annexed, certaine symptomes of a deserted condition, with directions unto those who have lost God's favour, how to get it : and directions likewise unto those who have gotten God's favour, how to keep it / by T.P.	Powell, Thomas, 1608-1660.	1674 (1674)	Wing P3075A; ESTC R43720	7,089	16

there_o be_v a_o intermission_n of_o thy_o communion_n with_o god_n desertion_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o intermission_n of_o our_o communion_n with_o god_n when_o thou_o can_v not_o commune_v with_o god_n as_o heretofore_o than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n there_o be_v some_o distance_n between_o god_n and_o thy_o soul_n when_o that_o bless_a intercourse_n i_o say_v which_o be_v theretofore_o between_o god_n and_o thy_o soul_n be_v now_o obstruct_a than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n have_v receive_v some_o offence_n from_o thou_o and_o so_o be_v become_v prejudice_v through_o thy_o perverse_a unseeming_a and_o ungospel_n like_o walk_v towards_o he_o second_o when_o thou_o do_v desist_v from_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n than_o thou_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o a_o desert_a condition_n when_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o once_o be_v pleasant_a to_o thou_o be_v now_o but_o indifferent_a than_o it_o argue_v bad_a when_o a_o man_n be_v sick_a there_o be_v certain_a symptom_n by_o which_o it_o may_v be_v discover_v and_o make_v know_v viz._n his_o look_n be_v metamorphose_v pulse_n beat_v and_o appetite_n lose_v even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o sinsick_a soul_n with_o a_o deserted_n soul_n who_o may_v be_v know_v by_o those_o certain_a symptom_n afore_o hint_v viz._n she_o have_v not_o that_o stomach_n as_o heretofore_o once_o she_o hunger_v after_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n but_o now_o she_o be_v even_o surfeit_v with_o the_o plentifulness_n of_o it_o her_o former_a appetite_n she_o have_v lose_v three_o when_o thy_o faith_n touch_v god_n thy_o soul_n and_o future_a estate_n be_v not_o so_o clear_a as_o heretofore_o than_o thou_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o a_o desert_a condition_n once_o thou_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n be_v thy_o god_n but_o now_o thou_o be_v at_o a_o stand_n &_o do_v not_o know_v wha●_n to_o think_v of_o it_o thou_o think_v that_o thy_o soul_n once_o be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n but_o now_o thou_o begin_v to_o question_v it_o once_o if_o one_o have_v ask_v thou_o a_o question_n concern_v thy_o future_a estate_n thou_o can_v hau●_n give_v they_o a_o full_a and_o perfect_a answer_n but_o now_o such_o a_o question_n will_v puzzle_v thou_o thus_o i_o say_v a_o soul_n when_o in_o a_o desert_a condition_n be_v at_o infinite_a uncertainty_n touch_v her_o future_a estate_n four_o when_o thy_o grace_n be_v rather_o decrease_v than_o in_o crease_v than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o thou_o be_v in_o a_o desert_a condition_n where_o a_o decay_n of_o grace_n be_v there_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o especial_a presence_n of_o god_n be_v presuppose_v when_o we_o grow_v rather_o down_o ward_v in_o our_o grace_n than_o upward_o it_o do_v prognosticate_v no●_n only_o a_o desertion_n to_o come_v but_o a_o desertion_n even_o now_o as_o success_n and_o prosperity_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n present_n so_o desertion_n and_o distress_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n absence_n five_o when_o thy_o fear_n be_v great_a than_o thy_o faith_n than_o thou_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o a_o desert_a condition_n as_o for_o instance_n when_o thou_o be_v so_o stagger_v in_o thy_o faith_n as_o that_o thou_o be_v loath_a to_o rely_v upon_o trust_v in_o and_o adhaere_fw-la to_o christ_n for_o salvation_n though_o the_o ground_n of_o thy_o faith_n be_v firm_a and_o substantial_a enough_o when_o thy_o fear_n i_o say_v do_v usurp_v that_o authority_n which_o faith_n a_o lone_a do_v claim_v than_o thy_o condition_n be_v very_o suspicious_a i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n propose_v which_o be_v to_o show_v those_o time_n and_o season_n that_o god_n most_o usual_o desert_n a_o soul_n in_o and_o first_o of_o all_o when_o god_n desert_n he_o desert_n in_o the_o time_n of_o prosperity_n because_o than_o we_o be_v mighty_a apt_a to_o grow_v high_a and_o lofty_a and_o to_o aspire_v unto_o thing_n that_o be_v so_o sublime_a as_o be_v beyond_o our_o sphere_n and_o orb_n for_o the_o which_o god_n do_v ofttimes_o desert_a u●_n second_o in_o a_o time_n of_o security_n when_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v so_o secure_a in_o ourselves_o than_o god_n depart_v from_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v shake_v off_o our_o security_n three_o in_o a_o time_n of_o murmur_a when_o we_o quarrel_v with_o god_n providence_n and_o be_v angry_a with_o he_o upon_o no_o other_o account_n but_o because_o he_o do_v not_o humour_v we_o and_o do_v what_o we_o will_v have_v he_o to_o do_v i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o thing_n propose_v viz._n the_o proof_n of_o the_o point_n namely_o that_o though_o god_n may_v desert_v a_o believer_n yet_o he_o remain_v the_o believer_n god_n still_o and_o herein_o i_o shall_v be_v brief_a lest_o i_o be_v prevent_v in_o that_o which_o yet_o lags_z behind_o and_o first_o of_o all_o the_o proof_n be_v evidence_v in_o the_o text_n my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o here_o a_o desertion_n be_v intimate_v but_o still_o god_n continue_v in_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o father_n to_o the_o soul_n see_v that_o excellent_a place_n of_o scripture_n for_o the_o further_a confirmation_n of_o this_o rom._n 8.38_o john_n 10.28_o the_o sacred_a writ_n do_v infinite_o abound_v with_o scripture_n of_o this_o kind_n second_o god_n have_v enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n of_o life_n with_o a_o believer_n jer._n 31.31_o therefore_o though_o the_o lord_n do_v desert_n it_o be_v only_o for_o a_o time_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o cast_v off_o for_o ever_o say_v the_o church_n in_o jeremiah_n time_n the_o lamentation_n of_o jeremiah_n 3.31_o three_o those_o obligation_n which_o be_v injon_v on_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o temporary_a but_o in_o aeternum_fw-la that_o be_v for_o ever_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o conjugal_a affection_n be_v contract_v between_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n in_o aeternum_fw-la durabit_fw-la it_o last_v for_o ever_o but_o to_o conclude_v with_o this_o particular_a further_o consider_v god_n be_v always_o the_o beleiver_n god_n first_o because_o the_o father_n in_o election_n be_v infallible_a 2._o the_o son_n in_o his_o redemption_n shall_v not_o be_v frustrate_v 3._o the_o spirit_n in_o application_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n passion_n be_v irresistible_a and_o unchangeable_a 4._o because_o the_o regeneration_n of_o god_n people_n be_v perpetual_a 5._o because_o that_o power_n by_o which_o god_n people_n be_v uphold_v be_v invincible_a and_o unconquerable_a i_o come_v now_o unto_o the_o four_o thing_n propose_v which_o be_v to_o show_v what_o be_v those_o end_n and_o design_n that_o god_n propound_v unto_o himself_o in_o the_o desert_v of_o a_o soul_n and_o the_o first_o be_v probandi_fw-la gratia_fw-la for_o trial_n sake_n god_n many_o time_n desert_n we_o and_o leave_v we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v know_v how_o strong_a our_o faith_n be_v how_o unfeigned_a our_o love_n be_v or_o inflame_v our_o desire_n be_v and_o how_o hot_a our_o zeal_n be_v for_o he_o and_o to_o he_o god_n ofttimes_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o the_o mother_n do_v with_o her_o child_n in_o run_v away_o from_o it_o to_o know_v whether_o the_o child_n be_v fond_a of_o she_o and_o whether_o it_o will_v run_v af●er_v she_o second_o god_n desert_n we_o abstinendi_fw-la gratia_fw-la and_o leave_v we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v leave_v our_o sin_n for_o while_o we_o regard_v iniquity_n god_n will_v not_o love_v we_o neither_o will_v he_o dwell_v with_o we_o god_n be_v a_o holy_a god_n and_o can_v see_v sin_n with_o approbation_n and_o allowance_n in_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n from_o hence_o you_o may_v observe_v what_o be_v the_o great_a proposition_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v either_o take_v god_n and_o leave_n sin_n or_o leave_n god_n and_o take_v sin_n many_o time_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o grow_v in_o love_n with_o our_o sin_n therefore_o god_n depart_v from_o we_o to_o see_v which_o we_o like_v best_a he_o or_o sin_n three_o god_n sometime_o desert_n we_o and_o leave_v we_o aestimandi_fw-la gratia_fw-la that_o we_o may_v prize_v he_o the_o more_o
