now_o this_o i_o may_v show_v you_o in_o abundance_n of_o scripture_n in_o the_o very_a first_o commission_n that_o jesus_n christ_n give_v unto_o his_o apostle_n after_o his_o resurrection_n to_o

therefore_o it_o be_v but_o self-love_n it_o be_v no_o true_a grace_n because_o that_o you_o aim_v at_o yourselves_o rather_o than_o christ_n the_o devil_n can_v prevail_v with_o a_o heart_n that_o

in_o christ_n even_o in_o regard_n of_o this_o and_o abundance_n of_o rest_n those_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n and_o the_o way_n of_o god_n grace_n in_o christ_n though_o they_o may_v meet_v with_o much_o trouble_n in_o this_o world_n yet_o they_o find_v abundance_n of_o rest_n of_o spirit_n in_o christ_n in_o regard_n of_o those_o trouble_n indeed_o christ_n

be_v afraid_a every_o day_n when_o all_o these_o outward_a comfort_n may_v be_v wrest_v from_o we_o this_o point_n perhaps_o may_v be_v to_o some_o more_o seasonable_a than_o to_o other_o what_o to_o tell_v some_o of_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o law_n this_o be_v a_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o they_o have_v no_o skill_n of_o it_o to_o have_v rest_n from_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o gild_n of_o sin_n this_o be_v spiritual_a and_o they_o have_v little_a skill_n of_o that_o to_o have_v rest_n from_o the_o remain_a corruption_n in_o their_o heart_n this_o be_v spiritual_a still_o and_o they_o have_v no_o skill_n of_o that_o neither_o i_o but_o now_o i_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o all_o of_o you_o will_v be_v sensible_a of_o in_o regard_n of_o outward_a affliction_n i_o that_o be_v somewhat_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n to_o be_v in_o christ_n to_o have_v rest_n in_o regard_n of_o outward_a affliction_n now_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o draw_v man_n to_o his_o son_n in_o their_o own_o way_n to_o show_v the_o good_a that_o be_v in_o his_o son_n in_o that_o way_n which_o themselves_o be_v sensible_a of_o and_o those_o that_o be_v stranger_n to_o christ_n may_v be_v sensible_a of_o this_o as_o to_o think_v that_o if_o that_o be_v make_v out_o that_o be_v here_o promise_v that_o indeed_o i●_n a_o bless_a thing_n to_o be_v in_o christ_n now_o that_o i_o shall_v open_v to_o you_o only_o i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o scripture_n more_o for_o i●_n and_o then_o proceed_v to_o the_o open_n of_o it_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 16._o of_o john_n and_o the_o 33._o these_o thing_n have_v i_o speak_v to_o you_o that_o in_o i_o you_o may_v have_v peace_n in_o the_o world_n you_o shall_v have_v tribulation_n but_o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n i_o have_v overcome_v the_o world_n this_o be_v a_o full_a text_n christ_n foresee_v that_o his_o disciple_n shall_v have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o affliction_n in_o this_o world_n and_o this_o be_v speak_v to_o they_o but_o a_o little_a before_o christ_n death_n a_o little_a before_o christ_n be_v to_o die_v and_o go_v from_o they_o he_o tell_v they_o of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o affliction_n they_o shall_v have_v in_o the_o world_n but_o say_v christ_n these_o thing_n have_v i_o speak_v in_o i_o you_o shall_v have_v peace_n though_o you_o have_v trouble_n in_o the_o world_n i_o will_v not_o free_v you_o from_o trouble_n but_o i_o will_v give_v you_o peace_n to_o your_o soul_n in_o those_o trouble_n in_o i_o you_o shall_v have_v peace_n though_o in_o the_o

i_o though_o there_o be_v such_o and_o such_o instrument_n evil_a instrument_n to_o bring_v trouble_n upon_o my_o estate_n or_o name_n or_o otherwise_o yet_o i_o know_v that_o all_o this_o be_v by_o the_o wise_a order_n and_o dispose_n of_o that_o god_n that_o be_v the_o father_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o he_o be_v now_o my_o father_n be_v it_o that_o you_o can_v be_v all_o assure_v of_o

shall_v know_v it_o be_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n and_o not_o a_o delusion_n say_v be_v of_o good_a comfort_n you_o that_o be_v so_o trouble_v for_o fear_n of_o loss_n and_o outward_a affliction_n be_v of_o good_a comfort_n thou_o shall_v never_o have_v any_o one_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n of_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n more_o than_o thy_o tender_a father_n or_o mother_n shall_v be_v
