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

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

that_o which_o make_v a_o man_n the_o object_n of_o god_n hatred_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o evil_a as_o thus_o when_o any_o affection_n run_v in_o one_o current_n it_o must_v needs_o run_v very_o

of_o conscience_n to_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n than_o such_o melanchoby_a conceit_n they_o do_v come_v from_o gross_a ignorance_n thou_o know_v not_o god_n thou_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v

to_o all_o eternity_n it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o francis_n spirâ—_n as_o i_o open_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n i_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o that_o example_n further_o because_o a_o notable_a

eternal_o i_o must_v endure_v the_o eternal_a wrath_n of_o god_n that_o lie_v heavy_a upon_o his_o spirit_n let_v any_o man_n or_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n the_o stout_a proud_a spirit_n that_o

seem_v to_o have_v excellent_a part_n and_o be_v not_o ignorant_a sot_n and_o yet_o have_v slight_a thought_n of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v

they_o have_v slight_a thought_n of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n now_o in_o they_o usual_o the_o cause_n be_v atheism_n or_o slight_v of_o god_n woeful_a desperate_a atheism_n be_v in_o

hereafter_o a_o five_o thing_n i_o will_v say_v to_o those_o that_o have_v slight_a thought_n about_o trouble_n for_o sin_n be_v this_o that_o if_o ever_o god_n shall_v in_o this_o world_n come_v to_o

with_o god_n so_o to_o wound_v you_o for_o sin_n as_o to_o see_v you_o swelter_a in_o your_o wound_n and_o deny_v compassion_n why_o because_o you_o have_v have_v slight_a thought_n of_o such_o a_o

such_o sore_a trouble_n and_o distress_n of_o conscience_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o can_v have_v no_o comfort_n it_o be_v because_o heretofore_o they_o have_v have_v such_o slight_a thought_n of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n perhaps_o when_o they_o be_v in_o their_o jollity_n and_o mirth_n they_o make_v a_o mock_n of_o it_o make_v nothing_o of_o it_o hear_v dreadful_a threat_n against_o sin_n and_o make_v light_n of_o it_o and_o think_v people_n be_v trouble_v more_o than_o needs_o well_o you_o once_o have_v such_o slight_a thought_n of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n now_o god_n come_v upon_o you_o for_o it_o and_o this_o hand_n of_o god_n lie_v upon_o you_o and_o it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n you_o shall_v feel_v it_o to_o purpose_n that_o you_o shall_v have_v smart_n enough_o that_o god_n may_v instruct_v you_o and_o convince_v you_o of_o your_o error_n and_o may_v now_o come_v and_o teach_v you_o after_o another_o manner_n what_o do_v you_o think_v

not_o far_o from_o the_o place_n where_o i_o ordinary_o live_v and_o it_o be_v a_o young_a maid_n hear_v of_o many_o trouble_v in_o conscience_n for_o sin_n she_o in_o a_o kind_n of_o scorn_n and_o

and_o then_o for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o word_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n for_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o be_v in_o such_o a_o condition_n that_o their_o heart_n shall_v be_v continual_o

which_o lie_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o close_v withal_o so_o now_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o lie_v upon_o your_o spirit_n when_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v trouble_v for_o trial_n what_o they_o be_v trouble_v for_o here_o be_v the_o art_n of_o a_o minister_n or_o a_o christian_n to_o find_v out_o what_o lie_v upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n or_o woman_n some_o say_v sin_n well_o but_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v not_o that_o how_o shall_v we_o find_v it_o out_o thus_o whatsoever_o lie_v upon_o the_o heart_n that_o trouble_v they_o they_o will_v be_v very_o willing_a to_o acknowledge_v any_o thing_n say_v to_o aggravate_v it_o that_o lie_v upon_o their_o spirit_n most_o if_o any_o come_v and_o tell_v they_o of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o agrravate_v it_o and_o say_v this_o be_v a_o evil_a condition_n and_o you_o must_v be_v humble_v for_o it_o and_o thorough_o apply_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o they_o to_o show_v how_o deep_o they_o be_v to_o be_v humble_v and_o lay_v sin_n before_o they_o in_o its_o right_a colour_n if_o sin_n trouble_v they_o they_o join_v with_o it_o and_o say_v it_o be_v evil_a indeed_o the_o lord_n humble_v i_o and_o show_v i_o more_o of_o this_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o they_o like_o that_o word_n of_o god_n that_o lay_v home_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n most_o but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o sin_n that_o they_o be_v trouble_v for_o by_o these_o speaking_o against_o sin_n their_o heart_n be_v harden_v and_o their_o heart_n rise_v against_o the_o aggravation_n of_o sin_n but_o if_o it_o be_v affliction_n come_v and_o pity_n and_o condole_v they_o and_o say_v alas_o you_o have_v such_o sorrow_n and_o trouble_n and_o oh_o poor_a creature_n it_o be_v pity_n but_o some_o other_o shall_v help_v you_o i_o they_o take_v this_o and_o this_o aggravate_v their_o sorrow_n it_o be_v observable_a in_o david_n when_o he_o flee_v from_o absalon_n how_o ready_a he_o be_v to_o entertain_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v aggravate_v his_o sorrow_n when_o ziba_n come_v and_o accuse_v mephibosheth_n though_o it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a he_o present_o embrace_v it_o so_o when_o a_o man_n be_v under_o affliction_n he_o will_v ready_o hear_v and_o embrace_v what_o may_v aggravate_v it_o and_o a_o man_n under_o trouble_n for_o sin_n will_v ready_o embrace_v that_o which_o will_v aggravate_v his_o sin_n this_o be_v a_o excellent_a note_n to_o come_v to_o know_v where_o the_o burden_n pinch_v whether_o it_o be_v sin_n or_o affliction_n 5_o the_o last_o note_n to_o try_v whether_o sin_n or_o affliction_n trouble_v thou_o be_v this_o there_o be_v according_a to_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o sin_n a_o favorinesse_n of_o spirit_n to_o the_o contrary_a good_a thy_o heart_n will_v in_o some_o measure_n have_v a_o love_n to_o and_o a_o favour_n and_o relish_v of_o that_o spiritual_a grace_n contrary_a to_o that_o sin_n of_o thou_o that_o thou_o complain_v of_o but_o now_o you_o have_v many_o that_o complain_v of_o sin_n they_o say_v but_o yet_o their_o heart_n be_v still_o as_o unsavoury_a and_o they_o do_v no_o more_o relish_v spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n contrary_a to_o that_o sin_n that_o they_o complain_v of_o than_o ever_o they_o do_v before_o therefore_o the_o burden_n and_o weight_n lie_v not_o upon_o sin_n but_o affliction_n take_v heed_n examine_v thy_o own_o heart_n there_o be_v much_o deceitfulness_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n thou_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a when_o thou_o come_v and_o complain_v of_o sin_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v thy_o affliction_n be_v upon_o thou_o and_o if_o thy_o affliction_n be_v go_v thou_o be_v well_o enough_o perhaps_o thou_o be_v cross_v in_o thy_o family_n if_o that_o be_v take_v away_o thou_o be_v well_o enough_o for_o all_o sin_n therefore_o be_v sure_a thou_o be_v faithful_a with_o god_n and_o thy_o own_o soul_n a_o five_o sort_n of_o people_n to_o be_v reprehend_v
