he_o leave_v myrrh_n upon_o the_o ringle_v of_o the_o door_n and_o so_o when_o he_o withdraw_v from_o a_o christian_a he_o leave_v his_o myrrh_n upon_o the_o ringle_v of_o the_o heart_n the_o heart_n can_v be_v quiet_a can_v rest_v take_v no_o contentment_n without_o he_o he_o do_v draw_v the_o soul_n to_o he_o while_o he_o seem_v to_o witndraw_v from_o the_o soul_n last_o what_o a_o man_n will_v

then_o will_v i_o strike_v at_o his_o faith_n his_o great_a design_n still_o be_v upon_o your_o faith_n in_o all_o his_o temptation_n but_o you_o will_v say_v quest_n why_o be_v satan_n great_a

which_o be_v the_o best_a now_o faith_n be_v more_o precious_a than_o gold_n the_o trial_n of_o your_o faith_n be_v faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o can_v get_v any_o

satan_n do_v sometime_o labour_v to_o weaken_v our_o faith_n by_o draw_v we_o from_o the_o mean_n of_o faith_n take_v the_o wood_n away_o from_o the_o fire_n it_o will_v soon_o lose_v its_o heat_n if_o not_o put_v out_o and_o if_o a_o man_n be_v but_o draw_v away_o from_o the_o mean_n of_o faith_n the_o mean_v draw_v from_o he_o or_o he_o from_o the_o mean_n by_o his_o own_o default_n his_o faith_n will_v be_v soon_o weaken_v this_o satan_n labour_v to_o do_v sometime_o sometime_o again_o he_o raise_v up_o mountain_n of_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o christian_n obedience_n and_o so_o labour_v to_o wound_v his_o faith_n throw_v water_n upon_o the_o fire_n it_o will_v soon_o be_v out_o but_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v the_o more_o full_o unto_o this_o great_a question_n the_o answer_n whereof_o be_v of_o concernment_n every_o day_n among_o you_o you_o know_v there_o the_o three_o act_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n whereby_o a_o soul_n do_v rely_v upon_o god_n in_o christ_n there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o assurance_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v persuade_v of_o god_n love_n towards_o he_o and_o his_o love_n to_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o acknowledgement_n whereby_o a_o man_n do_v own_o and_o acknowledge_v the_o cause_n and_o truth_n of_o christ_n i_o shall_v now_o spend_v some_o time_n and_o show_v you_o how_o satan_n strike_v at_o all_o these_o faith_n and_o withal_o labour_v to_o show_v you_o how_o we_o may_v bare_v off_o his_o blow_n that_o so_o we_o may_v stand_v in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o our_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v first_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n satan_n do_v sometime_o strike_v at_o the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n in_o the_o saint_n by_o hide_v from_o they_o their_o former_a experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o they_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n have_v the_o sight_n and_o view_v of_o his_o experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o he_o before_o he_o do_v rely_v on_o god_n and_o he_o say_v i_o will_v for_o ever_o rest_n upon_o god_n and_o rely_v upon_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o thus_o and_o thus_o he_o have_v deal_v with_o the_o i_o heretofore_o now_o therefore_o satan_n do_v labour_n in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n to_o hide_v the_o experience_n of_o the_o saint_n from_o they_o and_o so_o do_v strike_v at_o their_o faith_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v their_o faith_n fail_v but_o then_o how_o shall_v we_o bear_v off_o this_o blow_n quest_n thus_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o never_o rest_v upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o answ_n 1_o or_o only_o because_o of_o your_o experience_n but_o rather_o deal_v with_o your_o experience_n because_o of_o the_o promise_n it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o come_v up_o to_o the_o promise_n by_o the_o ladder_n of_o experience_n but_o it_o be_v better_a for_o a_o man_n to_o go_v down_o to_o the_o promise_n by_o his_o experience_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 106._o psalm_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o a_o man_n do_v rest_n upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o experience_n his_o faith_n will_v soon_o fail_v the_o water_n cover_v their_o enemy_n at_o the_o 11._o verse_n it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o israelite_n when_o they_o come_v through_o the_o red_a sea_n there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o they_o leave_v verse_n the_o 12._o then_o believe_v they_o his_o word_n mark_v now_o because_o of_o their_o experience_n now_o they_o believe_v god_n word_n now_o they_o believe_v his_o promise_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o experience_n then_o believe_v they_o his_o word_n they_o sing_v his_o praise_n but_o what_o become_v of_o this_o read_v the_o next_o word_n they_o soon_o forget_v his_o work_n they_o wait_v not_o for_o his_o counsel_n so_o that_o i_o say_v take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v rest_n upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o and_o only_o because_o of_o your_o experience_n for_o if_o your_o experience_n be_v but_o out_o of_o the_o way_n a_o little_a than_o your_o heart_n will_v fail_v and_o your_o faith_n fail_v present_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o never_o mourn_v for_o any_o evil_n answ_n 2_o no_o not_o for_o sin_n itself_o so_o as_o to_o be_v unthankful_a for_o or_o unmindful_a of_o former_a mercy_n we_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o this_o and_o satan_n he_o come_v and_o tempt_v and_o say_v unto_o a_o poor_a soul_n be_v you_o speak_v of_o former_a mercy_n or_o blessing_n to_o be_v thanful_a for_o they_o that_o be_v a_o good_a work_n for_o other_o but_o as_o for_o you_o you_o have_v commit_v such_o a_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v your_o duty_n now_o to_o mourn_v for_o your_o sin_n commit_v look_v you_o to_o that_o to_o be_v humble_v apply_v yourself_o to_o that_o work_n and_o so_o when_o he_o have_v get_v a_o man_n heart_n fix_v upon_o that_o work_n in_o opposition_n to_o thankfulness_n for_o former_a mercy_n receive_v the_o soul_n
