god_n be_v without_o repentance_n rom._n 11.29_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n have_v be_v as_o so_o many_o cordial_n unto_o she_o in_o time_n of_o temptation_n it_o be_v hope_v that_o they_o may_v prove_v so_o to_o other_o and_o therefore_o for_o their_o sake_n they_o be_v here_o set_v down_o and_o hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o she_o be_v not_o without_o some_o shake_n but_o through_o god_n mercy_n they_o be_v such_o as_o make_v her_o root_n the_o fast_o and_o by_o her_o prudent_a and_o seasonable_a hold_v forth_o the_o shield_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n she_o become_v more_o than_o a_o conqueror_n through_o he_o that_o have_v love_v she_o in_o another_o little_a book_n which_o be_v find_v after_o her_o death_n she_o give_v this_o account_n of_o herself_o and_o of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o she_o from_o the_o beginning_n write_v she_o of_o god_n show_v i_o mercy_n in_o my_o conversion_n i_o here_o set_v down_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o i_o conversion_n her_o conversion_n not_o for_o my_o own_o praise_n but_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o to_o stir_v up_o my_o heart_n unto_o true_a thankfulness_n for_o such_o invaluable_a mercy_n and_o then_o she_o set_v down_o the_o time_n manner_n and_o mean_n of_o her_o conversion_n and_o afterward_o proceed_v thus_o what_o have_v be_v my_o experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o i_o at_o several_a time_n under_o affliction_n as_o first_o when_o personal_a affliction_n have_v lie_v upon_o i_o in_o regard_n of_o bodily_a sickness_n or_o spiritual_a distemper_n second_o or_o family_n affliction_n when_o god_n have_v take_v away_o my_o dear_a child_n three_o or_o when_o i_o have_v be_v under_o fear_n that_o god_n will_v take_v away_o my_o dear_a husband_n by_o some_o dangerous_a sickness_n which_o he_o lie_v under_o four_o or_o when_o i_o have_v be_v under_o great_a fear_n in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o civil_a war_n five_o or_o when_o i_o have_v be_v under_o spiritual_a desertion_n by_o god_n hide_v his_o face_n and_o favour_n from_o i_o or_o by_o reason_n of_o weakness_n and_o want_v in_o grace_n or_o by_o reason_n of_o strong_a and_o prevail_a corruption_n or_o by_o reason_n of_o satan_n temptation_n in_o all_o which_o case_n she_o leave_v a_o memorial_n of_o god_n gracious_a dispensation_n towards_o she_o i_o shall_v set_v down_o only_o a_o few_o of_o they_o it_o please_v god_n say_v she_o for_o many_o year_n to_o keep_v i_o for_o the_o most_o part_n in_o a_o sad_a and_o disconsolate_a estate_n and_o condition_n not_o clear_o evidence_v the_o certain_a assurance_n of_o his_o love_n to_o my_o soul_n so_o that_o many_o time_n i_o question_v whether_o i_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n or_o no_o whether_o i_o have_v part_n in_o christ_n jesus_n or_o no_o whether_o i_o shall_v ever_o attain_v to_o life_n and_o salvation_n or_o no_o and_o this_o make_v i_o walk_v with_o a_o droop_a and_o disconsolate_a spirit_n so_o that_o i_o can_v take_v no_o true_a comfort_n in_o any_o thing_n but_o though_o heaviness_n endure_v for_o a_o night_n yet_o joy_n come_v in_o the_o morning_n when_o the_o lord_n cause_v the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n to_o shine_v upon_o i_o which_o be_v better_a than_o life_n it_o please_v god_n upon_o the_o death_n of_o my_o young_a child_n that_o it_o lay_v very_o heavy_a upon_o my_o spirit_n insomuch_o as_o i_o be_v bring_v oft_o upon_o my_o knee_n to_o beg_v support_n from_o god_n and_o to_o crave_v his_o grace_n and_o assistance_n that_o i_o may_v not_o break_v out_o to_o speak_v or_o act_v any_o thing_n whereby_o god_n name_v may_v be_v dishonour_v or_o the_o gospel_n discredit_v and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o make_v up_o this_o outward_a loss_n with_o some_o more_o durable_a and_o spiritual_a comfort_n and_o i_o find_v a_o seasonable_a gracious_a and_o speedy_a answer_n to_o these_o my_o request_n for_o though_o i_o lie_v long_o under_o the_o burden_n of_o that_o loss_n yet_o in_o this_o time_n do_v the_o lord_n sweet_o manifest_v his_o special_a love_n to_o my_o soul_n assure_v i_o that_o he_o be_v my_o gracious_a and_o reconcile_a father_n in_o christ_n whereby_o my_o love_n to_o he_o be_v much_o increase_v and_o even_o inflame_v so_o that_o by_o his_o grace_n it_o wrought_v in_o i_o more_o diligence_n and_o carefulness_n to_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v these_o evidence_n of_o his_o love_n and_o to_o yield_v a_o holy_a submission_n unto_o his_o will_n as_o well_o in_o suffer_v as_o in_o do_v as_o also_o by_o avoid_v whatsoever_o may_v provoke_v he_o to_o withdraw_v the_o evidence_n of_o his_o love_n from_o i_o without_o the_o sense_n whereof_o i_o can_v take_v little_a or_o no_o comfort_n in_o any_o thing_n and_o furthermore_o i_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o and_o speak_v it_o to_o the_o praise_n and_o glory_n of_o his_o rich_a and_o free_a grace_n my_o prayer_n and_o earnest_a desire_n have_v be_v answer_v by_o god_n give_v i_o comfortable_a assurance_n both_o from_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o the_o witness_n of_o his_o bless_a spirit_n of_o my_o eternal_a and_o everlasting_a salvation_n in_o and_o by_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o have_v i_o not_o be_v without_o fear_n and_o doubt_v many_o time_n through_o want_n of_o look_v over_o my_o evidence_n or_o by_o neglect_v to_o keep_v a_o narrow_a watch_n over_o my_o heart_n or_o from_o weakness_n of_o my_o faith_n and_o all_o through_o my_o own_o default_n and_o negligence_n the_o lord_n pardon_v it_o and_o make_v i_o more_o circumspect_a for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v by_o all_o these_o i_o have_v gain_v this_o experience_n first_n that_o god_n be_v true_a and_o faithful_a in_o make_v good_a all_o his_o promise_n seasonable_o unto_o we_o as_o that_o all_o thing_n shall_v work_v together_o for_o our_o good_n and_o that_o god_n will_v never_o fail_v we_o nor_o forsake_v we_o etc._n etc._n second_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a to_o wait_v upon_o god_n and_o to_o seek_v unto_o he_o in_o our_o strait_n who_o be_v mote_n ready_a to_o hear_v then_o we_o be_v to_o ask_v three_o that_o i_o desire_v to_o see_v yea_o and_o the_o lord_n have_v show_v i_o the_o vanity_n and_o incertainty_n of_o the_o most_o satisfy_a comfort_n that_o this_o world_n can_v afford_v and_o what_o a_o emptiness_n there_o be_v in_o they_o that_o so_o i_o may_v and_o i_o desire_v so_o to_o do_v keep_v wean_v affection_n towards_o they_o and_o to_o sit_v loose_a from_o they_o that_o i_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o part_v with_o they_o when_o god_n call_v they_o from_o i_o or_o i_o from_o they_o again_o in_o regard_n of_o bodily_a weakness_n and_o sickness_n my_o experience_n have_v be_v these_o first_n that_o as_o a_o break_a shoulder_n can_v bear_v no_o burden_n so_o the_o least_o distemper_n when_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o in_o a_o holy_a frame_n and_o temper_n be_v a_o burden_n insupportable_a if_o god_n hide_v his_o face_n from_o we_o and_o withdraw_v the_o evidence_n of_o his_o love_n and_o deny_v to_o assist_v we_o by_o his_o strength_n we_o can_v neither_o do_v nor_o suffer_v any_o thing_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a i_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o i_o can_v with_o much_o cheerfulness_n holy_a submission_n and_o willingness_n bear_v great_a distemper_n when_o i_o enjoy_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o they_o so_o that_o then_o i_o can_v ready_o say_v good_a be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o well_o as_o his_o word_n and_o i_o will_v bear_v the_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o mich._n 7.9_o and_o though_o he_o slay_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o trust_v in_o he_o job_n 13.15_o second_o i_o find_v by_o experience_n also_o that_o by_o my_o pain_n and_o sickness_n i_o be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o sympathize_v with_o and_o to_o pity_n and_o pray_v for_o other_o in_o the_o like_a case_n three_o hereby_o i_o learn_v the_o more_o to_o prize_v health_n and_o that_o first_o because_o in_o health_n we_o have_v liberty_n and_o opportunity_n to_o enjoy_v the_o public_a ordinance_n with_o other_o of_o god_n people_n whereby_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n people_n be_v quicken_v strengthen_v and_o increase_v in_o we_o which_o otherwise_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n be_v apt_a to_o grow_v cold_a and_o languish_v as_o will_v our_o body_n when_o they_o want_v food_n second_o because_o in_o health_n we_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o sweet_a and_o quiet_a sleep_n which_o much_o refresh_v and_o cheer_v and_o which_o common_o we_o want_v in_o sickness_n three_o because_o in_o health_n we_o find_v sweet_a satisfy_a comfort_n in_o the_o use_n of_o god_n good_a creature_n whereas_o in_o
