6._o trouble_v of_o conscience_n can_v be_v cure_v the_o way_n melancholy_a may_v first_o melancholy_a it_o be_v many_o time_n in_o man_n and_o woman_n where_o there_o be_v most_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o god_n and_o of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o their_o eternal_a estate_n it_o may_v consist_v with_o gross_a ignorance_n many_o melancholy_a people_n be_v most_o ignorant_a and_o sottish_a and_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n can_v never_o come_v without_o some_o new_a light_n of_o god_n dart_v in_o and_o settle_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n it_o come_v always_o with_o some_o enlighten_v work_n of_o the_o spirit_n melancholy_n be_v many_o time_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o darkness_n within_o the_o mind_n be_v dark_a where_o melancholy_a prevail_v and_o many_o time_n gross_a ignorance_n but_o never_o any_o true_a trouble_n of_o conscience_n but_o god_n come_v in_o with_o some_o light_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v trouble_v and_o say_v it_o be_v for_o sin_n i_o put_v this_o to_o you_o what_o have_v god_n discover_v to_o you_o now_o more_o than_o before_o what_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v god_n settle_v upon_o their_o heart_n more_o than_o before_o if_o they_o can_v give_v no_o further_o account_v of_o no_o other_o light_n let_v into_o they_o than_o before_o or_o further_a truth_n let_v in_o upon_o their_o heart_n than_o before_o then_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v suspect_v not_o to_o be_v trouble_n for_o sin_n as_o many_o melancholy_a people_n have_v the_o name_n of_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n and_o they_o have_v fear_n of_o hell_n because_o of_o dark_a thought_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o the_o soul_n except_o it_o be_v with_o convincement_n of_o some_o new_a light_n or_o settle_v some_o truth_n more_o upon_o the_o soul_n than_o before_o second_o melancholliness_n come_v by_o degree_n upon_o man_n and_o woman_n alteration_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o sudden_a thing_n the_o temper_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n body_n can_v sudden_o be_v alter_v to_o any_o extremity_n but_o gradual_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n come_v many_o time_n as_o a_o flash_n of_o lightning_n from_o heaven_n many_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v come_v to_o the_o congregation_n with_o scornful_a spirit_n profane_a wicked_a and_o ungodly_a never_o know_v what_o sin_n mean_v nor_o trouble_v for_o sin_n mean_v and_o god_n have_v meet_v with_o they_o in_o the_o word_n and_o fasten_v some_o sentence_n upon_o their_o heart_n so_o that_o they_o fall_v down_o under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o that_o come_v just_a as_o a_o arrow_n strike_v into_o their_o liver_n and_o they_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o it_o &_o have_v go_v away_o with_o horror_n of_o soul_n and_o therefore_o this_o have_v not_o be_v melancholliness_n certain_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n never_o so_o sudden_o alter_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o work_v when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o bondage_n come_v to_o work_v it_o need_v no_o matter_n before_o no_o preparative_n matter_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o word_n be_v such_o as_o it_o work_v immediate_o without_o any_o preparation_n therefore_o many_o man_n that_o understand_v as_o little_a of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n as_o ever_o any_o do_v in_o their_o life_n and_o yet_o god_n let_v some_o truth_n reach_v they_o
and_o earth_n this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n second_o it_o have_v no_o good_a of_o causallity_n that_o be_v sin_n be_v so_o evil_a as_o it_o can_v bring_v forth_o no_o good_a affliction_n bring_v forth_o good_a sin_n be_v such_o a_o evil_a as_o it_o can_v be_v make_v good_a not_o a_o instrument_n for_o good_a affliction_n be_v make_v instrumental_a for_o good_a object_n no_o will_v you_o say_v can_v god_n bring_v good_a out_o of_o sin_n and_o do_v not_o god_n bring_v good_a out_o of_o sin_n answ_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v true_a god_n bring_v good_a out_o of_o sin_n that_o be_v occasional_o but_o not_o instrumental_o he_o may_v take_v occasion_n to_o bring_v good_a out_o of_o sin_n commit_v but_o mark_n god_n never_o make_v sin_n a_o instrument_n for_o good_a for_o a_o instrument_n come_v under_o somewhat_o as_o a_o efficiency_n for_o a_o instrument_n give_v some_o power_n towards_o the_o effect_n but_o thus_o god_n never_o use_v sin_n god_n never_o make_v sin_n a_o instrument_n of_o any_o good_a that_o be_v that_o sin_n shall_v have_v any_o power_n any_o influence_n into_o that_o good_a effect_n that_o god_n bring_v out_o of_o it_o as_o affliction_n have_v god_n do_v not_o

instrumental_a efficacy_n in_o they_o to_o do_v man_n good_a therefore_o say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o heb._n 12._o he_o chasten_v they_o for_o their_o profit_n that_o they_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o his_o holiness_n the_o great_a good_n the_o creature_n be_v capable_a of_o affliction_n be_v make_v oftentimes_o the_o instrument_n to_o convey_v and_o in_o isa_n 27._o by_o this_o the_o iniquity_n of_o jacob_n shall_v be_v purge_v that_o be_v by_o this_o as_o a_o instrument_n but_o sin_n be_v never_o thus_o sin_n be_v never_o sanctify_v by_o god_n to_o do_v good_a to_o any_o soul_n affliction_n be_v sanctify_v by_o god_n to_o do_v good_a therefore_o sin_n be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o affliction_n sin_n be_v so_o evil_a that_o it_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o work_n of_o god_n to_o sanctify_v it_o for_o good_a but_o no_o affliction_n be_v so_o evil_a but_o that_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o a_o work_n of_o god_n to_o sanctify_v theâ—…r_a abundance_n of_o good_a this_o be_v the_o second_o three_o sin_n have_v great_a evil_o than_o affliction_n in_o the_o rise_n of_o it_o there_o be_v no_o good_a principle_n whence_o sin_n come_v but_o there_o be_v good_a principle_n from_o whence_o affliction_n arise_v as_o thus_o who_o he_o love_v he_o chasten_v he_o chasten_v every_o son_n who_o he_o receive_v so_o that_o chastisement_n have_v a_o principle_n of_o love_n but_o it_o can_v be_v say_v who_o god_n love_v he_o suffer_v to_o fall_v into_o sin_n that_o this_o can_v be_v a_o fruit_n of_o his_o love_n it_o can_v never_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o

there_o be_v more_o good_a in_o affliction_n than_o there_o be_v in_o sin_n nay_o observe_v this_o many_o time_n god_n do_v not_o afflict_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n because_o he_o do_v not_o love_v they_o but_o it_o can_v never_o be_v say_v god_n suffer_v not_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o sin_n because_o he_o do_v not_o love_v they_o i_o say_v there_o be_v many_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n go_v on_o in_o a_o prosperous_a condition_n and_o they_o meet_v not_o with_o such_o affliction_n as_o other_o meet_v withal_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n have_v not_o such_o a_o love_n to_o they_o as_o to_o other_o man_n but_o it_o can_v be_v say_v thus_o that_o there_o be_v such_o man_n that_o keep_v themselves_o from_o such_o sin_n that_o other_o do_v wallow_v in_o &_o therefore_o they_o do_v it_o because_o god_n have_v not_o such_o a_o love_n to_o they_o as_o to_o other_o it_o can_v be_v say_v so_o but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v such_o be_v not_o afflict_v so_o much_o as_o other_o because_o god_n do_v not_o love_v they_o as_o well_o as_o other_o it_o be_v a_o dreadful_a fruit_n of_o god_n hatred_n that_o he_o do_v not_o afflict_v they_o but_o it_o be_v not_o a_o fruit_n of_o his_o

be_v sanctify_v and_o that_o he_o will_v continue_v it_o till_o it_o be_v sanctify_v but_o no_o man_n may_v or_o aught_o to_o pray_v thus_o lord_n continue_v i_o in_o this_o sin_n till_o i_o be_o humble_v therefore_o you_o see_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o difference_n between_o affliction_n and_o sin_n one_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a annex_v to_o it_o and_o the_o other_o have_v none_o at_o all_o 5._o sin_n it_o be_v so_o evil_a that_o it_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o good_a at_o all_o the_o air_n though_o it_o be_v dark_a yet_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o light_n that_o be_v a_o dismal_a darkness_n that_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o light_a to_o come_v to_o it_o and_o that_o which_o be_v bitter_a though_o never_o so_o bitter_a yet_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o receive_v that_o which_o will_v sweeten_v it_o that_o which_o be_v never_o so_o venomous_a yet_o be_v capable_a of_o such_o thing_n as_o will_v make_v it_o wholesome_a but_o sin_n be_v so_o dark_a that_o it_o be_v uncapable_a of_o light_n so_o bitter_a as_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o make_v it_o sweet_a so_o venomous_a as_o it_o be_v no_o way_n capable_a of_o any_o wholsomness_n now_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o consider_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o put_v all_o the_o good_a in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o suppose_v the_o quintiscence_n of_o all_o the_o good_a of_o all_o the_o creature_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v put_v together_o and_o bring_v that_o to_o sin_n and_o add_v it_o to_o it_o it_o will_v not_o make_v it_o good_a no_o sin_n will_v remain_v still_o as_o evil_a as_o before_o it_o be_v now_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v poison_n indeed_o that_o bring_v all_o the_o sovereign_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o put_v to_o it_o yet_o there_o will_v not_o be_v a_o deminishion_n of_o the_o least_o strength_n of_o that_o poison_n and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o sin_n therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n observe_v it_o those_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v mighty_o mistake_v that_o think_v i_o have_v be_v a_o sinful_a creature_n indeed_o but_o now_o i_o will_v amend_v and_o reform_v and_o be_v better_o that_o by_o add_v some_o good_a to_o their_o former_a sinful_a life_n it_o will_v make_v all_o good_a oh_o know_v that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o evil_n in_o sin_n that_o the_o addition_n of_o all_o the_o good_a of_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n can_v make_v it_o less_o evil_a than_o before_o so_o that_o you_o must_v not_o only_o now_o think_v to_o live_v better_a &_o add_v good_a unto_o your_o former_a evil_n but_o you_o must_v take_v a_o course_n for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o the_o former_a evil_n for_o the_o deliver_v you_o from_o the_o guilt_n and_o stain_n and_o filth_n of_o your_o former_a sin_n 2._o sin_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o good_a all_o those_o good_a end_n that_o any_o man_n have_v in_o the_o commission_n of_o sin_n yet_o do_v not_o make_v their_o sin_n the_o better_a that_o can_v make_v sin_n good_a because_o they_o have_v good_a end_n as_o thus_o there_o may_v be_v three_o good_a end_n some_o may_v think_v they_o have_v in_o the_o commission_n of_o sin_n 1_o they_o may_v perhaps_o think_v that_o by_o commission_n of_o some_o sin_n they_o may_v further_o some_o grace_n do_v good_a to_o other_o or_o glorify_v god_n there_o may_v be_v such_o deceit_n in_o the_o heart_n as_o thus_o 1_o they_o may_v think_v such_o a_o sin_n will_v help_v such_o a_o grace_n and_o help_v against_o such_o a_o temptation_n and_o such_o a_o sin_n may_v help_v my_o humility_n and_o it_o be_v ordinary_a this_o temptation_n when_o in_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n make_v away_o thyself_o and_o then_o thou_o will_v sin_v no_o more_o for_o so_o long_o as_o i_o live_v i_o shall_v sin_v against_o god_n &_o therefore_o make_v away_o thyself_o and_o so_o cease_v to_o sin_n but_o know_v if_o thou_o lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o thyself_o and_o think_v thou_o shall_v have_v this_o good_a by_o it_o to_o sin_n no_o more_o yet_o thy_o sin_n be_v wicked_a and_o abominable_a though_o thou_o put_v this_o good_a end_n upon_o it_o though_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o in_o crease_n grace_n never_o so_o much_o by_o the_o least_o sinful_a thought_n we_o must_v not_o commit_v this_o least_o sinful_a thought_n for_o never_o so_o good_a a_o end_n as_o to_o help_v forward_o such_o a_o grace_n 2_o a_o second_o end_n may_v be_v to_o do_v good_a to_o other_o and_o i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a if_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o save_v the_o whole_a world_n if_o he_o will_v commit_v one_o sin_n if_o he_o can_v save_v the_o whole_a world_n from_o eternal_a torment_n by_o the_o commission_n of_o one_o sin_n you_o shall_v suffer_v the_o whole_a world_n to_o perish_v rather_o than_o commit_v one_o sin_n there_o be_v so_o much_o evil_n in_o sin_n it_o be_v the_o expression_n of_o augustine_n in_o a_o tractate_n of_o his_o concern_v a_o officious_a lie_n a_o friend_n of_o his_o write_v to_o he_o to_o answer_v this_o question_n about_o tell_v of_o a_o lie_n whether_o he_o may_v not_o tell_v a_o lie_n to_o do_v good_a to_o another_o man_n many_o think_v what_o though_o i_o do_v tell_v a_o lie_n so_o i_o do_v another_o good_a indeed_o if_o i_o may_v do_v hurt_v than_o i_o must_v not_o but_o if_o i_o may_v do_v good_a may_v i_o not_o tell_v a_o lie_n well_o this_o question_n be_v bring_v to_o augustine_n and_o say_v he_o thou_o must_v not_o tell_v a_o lie_n to_o save_v the_o whole_a world_n this_o be_v his_o answer_n suppose_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o thy_o father_n mother_n or_o child_n this_o be_v but_o a_o supposition_n or_o the_o like_a shall_v lie_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v save_v or_o damn_v if_o thou_o will_v commit_v one_o sin_n suppose_v such_o a_o temptation_n shall_v come_v thou_o must_v not_o commit_v one_o sin_n though_o the_o soul_n of_o thy_o father_n or_o mother_n or_o all_o the_o world_n lie_v upon_o it_o now_o it_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o thing_n to_o commit_v a_o sin_n to_o gain_v a_o groat_n oh_o now_o by_o a_o deceitful_a word_n i_o may_v have_v this_o gain_n if_o it_o be_v twenty_o shilling_n thou_o must_v not_o venture_v upon_o sin_n to_o save_v the_o world_n therefore_o not_o to_o gain_v six_o penny_n or_o a_o shilling_n certain_o these_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o for_o one_o to_o come_v and_o speak_v these_o thing_n in_o a_o solemn_a manner_n in_o
