my_o spirit_n sometime_o i_o be_v refresh_v i_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o but_o i_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o think_v this_o be_v a_o delusion_n i_o remember_v the_o scripture_n be_v these_o isa_n 50.10_o who_o be_v among_o you_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n that_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o his_o servant_n that_o walk_v in_o darkness_n and_o have_v no_o light_n let_v he_o trust_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o stay_v upon_o his_o god_n john_n 15.16_o you_o have_v not_o choose_v i_o but_o i_o have_v choose_v you_o and_o ordain_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v go_v and_o bring_v forth_o much_o fruit_n and_o that_o your_o fruit_n shall_v remain_v etc._n etc._n lam._n 3.25_o the_o lord_n be_v good_a unto_o the_o soul_n that_o wait_v for_o he_o and_o to_o they_o that_o seek_v he_o it_o be_v good_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v both_o hope_n and_o quiet_o wait_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n these_o word_n do_v support_v i_o very_o much_o therefore_o i_o write_v they_o out_o and_o lay_v they_o in_o my_o closet_n that_o they_o may_v still_o be_v in_o my_o eye_n that_o i_o may_v when_o i_o look_v upon_o they_o be_v encourage_v to_o hope_v in_o and_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n but_o these_o comfort_n be_v but_o transient_a but_o yet_o while_o they_o last_v they_o be_v very_o sweet_a support_n but_o when_o go_v i_o fall_v to_o doubt_v think_v all_o be_v delusion_n and_o thus_o i_o dishonour_v god_n 〈◊〉_d my_o unbelief_n i_o doubt_v much_o of_o my_o sincerity_n often_o say_v i_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n but_o if_o at_o an●_n time_n i_o be_v ask_v in_o what_o i_o be_v one_o i_o can_v not_o tell_v but_o have_v this_o scripture_n very_o often_o in_o my_o mind_n there_o be_v a_o way_n which_o seem_v right_a unto_o a_o man_n but_o the_o end_n thereof_o be_v death_n and_o so_o i_o think_v i_o be_v but_o seem_o right_a and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o perish_v and_o in_o this_o condition_n i_o continue_v a_o long_a time_n but_o i_o hear_v that_o a_o hypocrite_n seldom_o or_o never_o doubt_v his_o condition_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o sincerity_n to_o desire_v a_o sincere_a heart_n and_o this_o i_o dare_v not_o deny_v know_v that_o i_o do_v desire_v it_o rather_o than_o the_o whole_a world_n thus_o be_v better_o satisfy_v i_o resolve_v to_o se●_n about_o my_o duty_n but_o all_o this_o while_n i_o do_v not_o see_v such_o a_o high_a price_n upon_o the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o i_o shall_v but_o still_o i_o think_v that_o i_o must_v do_v something_o to_o merit_v salvation_n not_o dare_v to_o venture_v my_o soul_n with_o all_o its_o concernment_n upon_o christ_n therefore_o i_o shall_v tie_v myself_o to_o pray_v six_o time_n a_o day_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v be_v satisfy_v and_o thin●_n all_o be_v well_o with_o i_o then_o but_o if_o i_o at_o any_o tim●_n fail_v of_o my_o number_n than_o i_o be_v dissatisfied_n and_o so_o in_o other_o duty_n so_o that_o my_o comfort_n do_v not_o flow_v from_o the_o blood_n and_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n but_o from_o my_o own_o duty_n but_o bless_v be_v the_o lord_n who_o likewise_o shake_v this_o foundation_n even_o because_o he_o have_v a_o favour_n to_o i_o for_o be_v in_o discourse_n with_o a_o friend_n he_o desire_v i_o to_o read_v shepherd_n sincere_a convert_n which_o i_o do_v and_o here_o do_v i_o see_v as_o in_o a_o glass_n my_o folly_n for_o there_o be_v sign_n give_v whereby_o i_o may_v try_v myself_o whether_o i_o do_v rest_n in_o duty_n one_o i_o remember_v be_v this_o if_o i_o never_o see_v i_o rest_v in_o duty_n than_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a sign_n that_o i_o then_o do_v another_o be_v this_o if_o i_o prize_v the_o bare_a performance_n of_o duty_n so_o as_o to_o think_v when_o i_o have_v pray_v with_o some_o life_n that_o i_o have_v do_v very_o well_o and_o again_o if_o i_o see_v but_o little_a of_o my_o vile_a heart_n by_o duty_n than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n i_o rest_v in_o they_o and_o that_o i_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o way_n to_o hell_n though_o in_o the_o cleanly_a way_n and_o shall_v certain_o perish_v if_o i_o rest_v here_o now_o this_o i_o plain_o see_v be_v my_o condition_n but_o how_o to_o get_v out_o of_o it_o i_o know_v not_o for_o now_o i_o be_v in_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o at_o the_o beginning_n find_v it_o abundant_o more_o hard_a to_o deny_v righteous_a self_n than_o sinful_a self_n i_o think_v it_o wonderful_a strange_a that_o i_o must_v be_v save_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o if_o ever_o i_o be_v save_v o_o this_o my_o proud_a heart_n be_v unwilling_a to_o yield_v to_o and_o yet_o i_o be_v very_o desirous_a of_o salvation_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v lead_v i_o into_o my_o own_o heart_n and_o show_v i_o the_o vileness_n of_o that_o more_o and_o that_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v leave_v i_o to_o myself_o i_o shall_v commit_v all_o kind_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o with_o greediness_n such_o be_v the_o vileness_n of_o my_o nature_n and_o that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a i_o shall_v now_o live_v holy_o yet_o i_o can_v not_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o what_o be_v past_a therefore_o i_o resolve_v to_o cast_v myself_o upon_o christ_n jesus_n that_o sure_a foundation_n which_o god_n have_v lay_v and_o not_o man_n and_o if_o i_o perish_v to_o perish_v here_o but_o much_o opposition_n do_v i_o meet_v with_o from_o satan_n and_o my_o own_o heart_n before_o i_o can_v real_o do_v it_o i_o can_v seal_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o scripture_n eph._n 1.19_o that_o god_n do_v put_v forth_o his_o mighty_a power_n when_o a_o soul_n be_v make_v to_o believe_v but_o yet_o i_o be_v not_o at_o quiet_a but_o have_v many_o fear_n and_o doubt_n that_o all_o be_v false_a because_o i_o have_v be_v so_o often_o deceive_v and_o now_o i_o begin_v to_o ●ee_n my_o own_o vileness_n more_o than_o ever_o and_o ●ound_v my_o heart_n run_v out_o to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o love_n but_o doubt_v very_o much_o of_o his_o love_n to_o i_o yet_o sometime_o i_o shall_v have_v some_o persuasion_n of_o my_o interest_n in_o christ_n and_o that_o his_o love_n be_v towards_o i_o and_o whilst_o this_o persuasion_n last_v i_o shall_v be_v very_o comfortable_a &_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v i_o shall_v never_o be_v move_v as_o david_n do_v but_o when_o god_n hide_v his_o face_n i_o be_v trouble_v and_o fall_v to_o doubt_v all_o again_o not_o have_v learn_v that_o heavenly_a skill_n of_o live_v by_o faith_n but_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o whole_o cast_v off_o my_o confidence_n but_o have_v some_o pin_n hole_n of_o hope_n in_o the_o worst_a condition_n i_o remember_v the_o consideration_n of_o this_o scripture_n john_n 3.8_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n do_v not_o commit_v sin_n fill_v i_o with_o many_o fear_n know_v how_o apt_a i_o be_v to_o commit_v sin_n notwithstanding_o my_o strive_v against_o it_o but_o a_o little_a while_n after_o i_o be_v satisfy_v understand_v the_o place_n better_o that_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n but_o of_o make_v sin_n one_o trade_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o be_v i_o confident_a i_o do_v not_o but_o rather_o tremble_v at_o the_o thought_n of_o it_o but_o when_o this_o be_v over_o satan_n and_o my_o own_o unbelieving_a heart_n will_v still_o be_v present_v something_o whereby_o to_o occasion_v doubt_n so_o that_o for_o the_o space_n of_o one_o year_n and_o a_o half_a i_o have_v scarce_o any_o settle_a peace_n now_o and_o then_o a_o good_a word_n throw_v in_o which_o will_v revive_v i_o for_o the_o present_a but_o the_o comfort_n will_v be_v soon_o go_v as_o ezek._n 36.26_o a_o new_a heart_n will_v i_o give_v and_o a_o new_a spirit_n will_v i_o put_v in_o you_o and_o i_o will_v take_v away_o the_o stony_a heart_n out_o of_o your_o flesh_n and_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n and_o will_v put_v my_o spirit_n within_o you_o and_o cause_v you_o to_o walk_v in_o my_o statute_n etc._n etc._n this_o promise_n i_o shall_v often_o plead_v with_o god_n very_o sensible_o and_o with_o much_o confidence_n another_o be_v john_n 11.25_o i_o be_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o though_o he_o be_v dead_a yet_o shall_v he_o live_v and_o whosoever_o live_v and_o believe_v in_o i_o shall_v never_o die_v this_o i_o remember_v be_v very_o sweet_a to_o i_o once_o when_o i_o be_v in_o great_a fear_n lest_o my_o heart_n shall_v grow_v dead_a and_o when_o i_o be_v with_o child_n i_o be_v much_o deject_v have_v a_o sense_n of_o my_o approach_a danger_n and_o want_v a_o assurance_n of_o my_o everlasting_a
