of_o the_o saint_n he_o make_v it_o his_o work_n to_o corroborate_v and_o confirm_v they_o as_o sin_n have_v weave_v calamity_n into_o our_o life_n and_o fill_v we_o with_o trouble_n and_o grief_n

of_o christ_n overcome_v the_o disquiet_v as_o well_o as_o the_o tempt_a spirit_n but_o with_o some_o difference_n because_o our_o comfort_n be_v not_o in_o this_o life_n so_o necessary_a to_o we_o

soul_n do_v we_o but_o see_v christ_n or_o a_o angel_n stand_v by_o our_o sick-bed_n and_o say_v fear_v not_o i_o will_v convey_v thy_o soul_n to_o god_n this_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n what_o a_o unspeakable_a comfort_n will_v this_o be_v to_o a_o die_a man_n why_o the_o spirit_n be_v christ_n agent_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o what_o the_o spirit_n speak_v christ_n speak_v and_o therefore_o we_o may_v take_v its_o comfort_a word_n as_o speak_v to_o we_o by_o christ_n himself_o who_o speak_v the_o like_a to_o the_o penitent_a thief_n to_o show_v believer_n the_o virtue_n of_o his_o cross_n and_o what_o they_o also_o may_v expect_v from_o he_o in_o their_o extremity_n and_o our_o physician_n be_v most_o wise_a and_o keep_v his_o cordial_n for_o a_o faint_a time_n the_o spirit_n use_v to_o sustain_v and_o comfort_v we_o most_o in_o our_o great_a necessity_n we_o need_v not_o comfort_n against_o death_n so_o much_o in_o the_o time_n of_o prosperity_n and_o health_n as_o when_o death_n draw_v near_o in_o health_n we_o have_v ordinary_o more_o need_n of_o quicken_a then_o of_o comfort_v and_o more_o need_n to_o be_v awaken_v from_o security_n to_o a_o due_a preparation_n for_o death_n then_o to_o be_v free_v from_o the_o terrible_a fore-thought_n of_o it_o though_o inordinate_a fear_n of_o death_n be_v hurtful_a to_o we_o security_n and_o deadness_n hurt_v we_o more_o and_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n work_v according_a to_o our_o necessity_n and_o when_o death_n be_v near_a and_o like_a to_o be_v most_o dreadful_a he_o usual_o give_v the_o lively_a sense_n of_o the_o joy_n beyond_o it_o to_o abate_v the_o enmity_n and_o encourage_v the_o depart_a soul_n and_o if_o the_o comfort_n be_v but_o small_a it_o be_v precious_a because_o it_o be_v most_o pure_a as_o be_v then_o mix_v with_o no_o carnal_a joy_n and_o because_o it_o be_v most_o seasonable_a in_o so_o great_a a_o strait_a if_o we_o have_v no_o more_o but_o mere_a support_n it_o will_v be_v yet_o a_o precious_a mercy_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o three_o degree_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o death_n enmity_n by_o these_o four_o antidote_n which_o we_o receive_v at_o our_o conversion_n and_o the_o consequent_n thereof_o 4._o the_o four_o degree_n of_o this_o enemy_n destruction_n be_v by_o itself_o or_o rather_o by_o christ_n at_o the_o time_n and_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o death_n which_o contrary_a to_o its_o nature_n shall_v advantage_v our_o felicity_n when_o death_n have_v do_v its_o worst_a it_o have_v half_o kill_v itself_o in_o kill_v we_o it_o have_v then_o dismiss_v our_o imprison_a soul_n and_o end_v even_o our_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o our_o fear_n of_o all_o the_o evil_n of_o this_o life_n it_o have_v end_v our_o care_n and_o grief_n and_o groan_n it_o have_v finish_v our_o work_n and_o end_v all_o our_o weariness_n and_o trouble_n and_o more_o than_o this_o it_o end_v our_o sin_v and_o so_o destroy_v that_o which_o cause_v it_o and_o that_o which_o the_o inordinate_a fear_n of_o itself_o have_v cause_v in_o we_o it_o be_v the_o time_n when_o sin_n shall_v gasp_v its_o last_o and_o so_o far_o our_o physician_n will_v perfect_v the_o cure_n and_o our_o great_a enemy_n shall_v follow_v we_o no_o further_o it_o be_v the_o door_n by_o which_o the_o soul_n must_v pass_v to_o christ_n in_o paradise_n if_o any_o papist_n shall_v hence_o plead_v that_o therefore_o all_o man_n must_v be_v perfect_a without_o sin_n before_o death_n or_o else_o go_v to_o purgatory_n to_o be_v cleanse_v because_o as_o we_o die_v so_o christ_n will_v find_v we_o or_o if_o they_o ask_v how_o death_n can_v perfect_v we_o i_o answer_v they_o it_o be_v christ_n our_o physician_n that_o finish_v the_o cure_n and_o death_n be_v the_o time_n in_o which_o he_o do_v it_o and_o if_o he_o undertake_v then_o to_o do_v it_o it_o concern_v not_o we_o to_o be_v too_o inquisitive_a how_o he_o do_v it_o what_o if_o
of_o a_o full_a and_o final_a conquest_n suppose_v that_o thy_o hatred_n be_v against_o all_o know_a sin_n &_o that_o there_o be_v none_o so_o sweet_a or_o profitable_a in_o thy_o account_n which_o thou_o have_v not_o far_o rather_o leave_v then_o keep_v quest_n 4._o moreover_o be_v thou_o not_o true_o willing_a to_o yield_v to_o all_o the_o term_n of_o grace_n thou_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o yoke_n and_o burden_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o gospel_n on_o which_o peace_n be_v offer_v to_o the_o sinful_a world_n and_o what_o christ_n require_v of_o such_o as_o will_v be_v his_o disciple_n what_o say_v thy_o heart_n now_o to_o those_o term_n do_v they_o seem_v so_o hard_a and_o grievous_a to_o thou_o that_o thou_o will_v venture_v thy_o soul_n in_o thy_o state_n of_o sin_n rather_o than_o accept_v of_o they_o if_o this_o be_v so_o thou_o have_v yet_o no_o part_n in_o christ_n indeed_o but_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o christ_n require_v of_o thou_o that_o be_v not_o desirable_a in_o thy_o eye_n or_o which_o thou_o do_v not_o stick_v at_o so_o far_o as_o to_o turn_v away_o from_o he_o and_o forsake_v he_o and_o refuse_v his_o covenant_n and_o grace_n rather_o than_o submit_v to_o such_o condition_n thou_o be_v then_o in_o covenant_n with_o he_o and_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n belong_v to_o thou_o can_v thou_o think_v that_o christ_n have_v purchase_v and_o offer_v and_o promise_v that_o which_o he_o will_v not_o give_v have_v he_o send_v forth_o his_o minister_n and_o command_v they_o to_o make_v the_o motion_n in_o his_o name_n and_o to_o invite_v and_o and_o compel_v man_n to_o come_v in_o and_o to_o beseech_v they_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o that_o yet_o he_o be_v unwilling_a to_o accept_v thou_o when_o thou_o do_v consent_v if_o christ_n have_v be_v unwilling_a he_o have_v not_o so_o dear_o make_v the_o way_n nor_o begin_v as_o a_o suitor_n to_o thy_o soul_n nor_o so_o diligent_o seek_v thou_o as_o he_o have_v do_v if_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v thou_o than_o heaven_n be_v thou_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a blessing_n and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o thou_o it_o be_v not_o because_o christ_n be_v unwilling_a but_o because_o thou_o be_v unwilling_a of_o his_o blessing_n on_o his_o term_n nothing_o can_v deprive_v thou_o of_o they_o but_o thy_o refusal_n know_v therefore_o assure_o whether_o thou_o do_v consent_v thyself_o to_o the_o term_n of_o christ_n and_o whether_o thou_o be_v true_o willing_a that_o he_o be_v thy_o saviour_n and_o if_o thy_o conscience_n bear_v thou_o faithful_a witness_n that_o it_o be_v so_o dishonour_v not_o christ_n then_o so_o far_o as_o to_o question_v whether_o he_o be_v willing_a who_o have_v do_v so_o much_o to_o put_v it_o out_o of_o doubt_n the_o stop_n be_v at_o thy_o will_n &_o not_o at_o he_o if_o thou_o know_v that_o thou_o be_v willing_a thou_o may_v know_v that_o christ_n &_o his_o benefit_n be_v thou_o and_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o willing_a what_o make_v thou_o wish_v and_o groan_n and_o pray_v and_o labour_n in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n be_v it_o not_o for_o christ_n and_o his_o benefit_n that_o thy_o heart_n thus_o work_v and_o thou_o do_v all_o this_o fear_v not_o then_o if_o thy_o own_o hand_n be_v to_o the_o covenant_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n
