law_n and_o under_o the_o gospel_n all_o lead_v we_o not_o only_o unto_o christ_n but_o unto_o all_o those_o sweet_a grace_n and_o heavenly_a comfort_n that_o we_o receive_v from_o he_o to_o omit_v

heavenly_a and_o holy_a joy_n and_o by_o argument_n take_v from_o privation_n if_o i_o may_v so_o say_v we_o may_v prove_v this_o point_n the_o comfort_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o be_v no_o where_o else_o to_o be_v sound_a therefore_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v in_o he_o alone_o if_o we_o will_v look_v to_o angel_n and_o saint_n depart_v out_o of_o this_o life_n there_o be_v a_o double_a

they_o be_v as_o far_o unable_a and_o weak_a for_o this_o work_n as_o the_o other_o if_o not_o more_o the_o divelles_n and_o damn_v spirit_n will_v rather_o do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o torment_v

to_o the_o handle_n and_o hear_v of_o some_o other_o doctrine_n we_o may_v see_v by_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o a_o clear_a &_o true_a look_a glass_n the_o miserable_a estate_n and_o woeful_a condition_n of_o all_o in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v without_o the_o knowledge_n and_o feel_n of_o christ_n i_o say_v both_o knowledge_n and_o feeling_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o join_v they_o both_o together_o for_o they_o can_v be_v sunder_v no_o more_o than_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n because_o as_o all_o without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o be_v under_o condemnation_n so_o many_o that_o know_v he_o &_o yet_o feel_v he_o not_o in_o faith_n and_o obedience_n shall_v certain_o perish_v for_o if_o that_o be_v true_a which_o christ_n himself_o say_v joh._n 17._o this_o be_v life_n eternal_a to_o know_v thou_o to_o be_v the_o only_a true_a god_n and_o he_o who_o thou_o have_v send_v jesus_n christ_n then_o this_o by_o the_o contrary_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a also_o that_o those_o that_o know_v not_o god_n and_o he_o who_o he_o have_v send_v jesus_n christ_n rest_n under_o eternal_a condemnation_n because_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o come_v into_o judgement_n but_o have_v pass_v out_o of_o death_n into_o life_n and_o again_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o because_o he_o believe_v not_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n by_o which_o we_o see_v what_o sentence_n to_o give_v not_o only_o of_o the_o heathen_a and_o gentile_n of_o who_o the_o apostle_n speak_v ephes_n 2._o that_o they_o be_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n neither_o yet_o of_o the_o jew_n turk_n &_o other_o who_o though_o they_o acknowledge_v god_n the_o father_n yet_o obstinate_o deny_v and_o refuse_v the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n but_o also_o of_o many_o thousand_o of_o christian_n whereof_o some_o as_o heretic_n deny_v his_o nature_n as_o the_o anabaptiste_n who_o deny_v his_o humanity_n and_o our_o popish_a adversary_n deface_v his_o office_n of_o kingdom_n in_o erect_v and_o exercise_v another_o government_n they_o he_o have_v prescribe_v of_o priesthood_n in_o place_v their_o daily_a unbloody_a sacrifice_n in_o stead_n of_o it_o of_o prophecy_n in_o bring_v in_o new_a docirine_n and_o establish_v tradition_n and_o other_o such_o trash_n and_o trumpery_n other_o some_o again_o know_v he_o but_o deny_v he_o through_o loose_a and_o lewd_a life_n of_o who_o we_o may_v say_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o some_o other_o not_o much_o unlike_o they_o that_o when_o they_o know_v the_o power_n of_o godliness_n they_o deny_v it_o notwithstanding_o in_o their_o deed_n and_o of_o who_o also_o we_o may_v say_v though_o it_o be_v to_o their_o terror_n as_o christ_n say_v luk._n 12._o he_o that_o know_v the_o will_n of_o his_o master_n and_o do_v it_o not_o shall_v be_v beat_v with_o many_o stripe_n and_o yet_o let_v no_o man_n think_v this_o a_o hard_a or_o hasty_a judgement_n for_o here_o we_o speak_v not_o the_o word_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n or_o mouth_n but_o of_o god_n and_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n in_o this_o behalf_n say_v even_o as_o christ_n himself_o say_v joh._n 12._o i_o judge_v no_o man_n but_o there_o be_v one_o that_o judge_v such_o even_o the_o word_n that_o he_o have_v speak_v it_o shall_v judge_v they_o according_a to_o which_o when_o we_o judge_v we_o can_v but_o judge_v righteous_a judgement_n because_o it_o be_v all_o and_o only_a truth_n it_o can_v give_v no_o sentence_n save_o according_a to_o the_o same_o but_o to_o draw_v it_o more_o near_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n and_o occasion_n we_o may_v learn_v from_o hence_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o so_o many_o distress_a spirit_n lie_v as_o it_o be_v broil_v in_o the_o flame_n &_o fire_n of_o a_o trouble_a and_o disquiet_v he_o be_v sure_o he_o either_o they_o know_v not_o christ_n and_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o spirit_n and_o then_o no_o marvel_n though_o they_o boil_v and_o broil_v indeed_o when_o they_o be_v touch_v with_o the_o sting_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n and_o condemnation_n therefore_o for_o how_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o see_v there_o be_v neither_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n nor_o overcome_v of_o condemnation_n nor_o any_o comfortable_a &_o continual_a feel_n of_o any_o favour_n but_o by_o he_o or_o else_o they_o feel_v he_o not_o with_o his_o force_n and_o effect_v that_o way_n though_o they_o know_v their_o own_o sin_n the_o punishment_n due_a unto_o they_o therefore_o with_o the_o manifold_a unworthyness_n they_o find_v in_o themselves_o hinder_v they_o from_o comfort_n and_o consolation_n as_o for_o the_o former_a sort_n i_o will_v wish_v they_o careful_o &_o painful_o to_o labour_v

yet_o we_o shall_v behold_v the_o same_o still_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v a_o elect_a vessel_n &_o choose_v to_o carry_v christ_n name_n among_o the_o gentile_n and_o yet_o his_o state_n and_o condition_n this_o way_n be_v notable_o describe_v in_o many_o place_n of_o his_o second_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n but_o special_o in_o the_o four_o chapter_n where_o he_o say_v we_o be_v afflict_v on_o every_o side_n yet_o be_v 〈◊〉_d not_o in_o d●stresse_n we_o be_v in_o doubt_n but_o yet_o we_o despair_v not_o we_o be_v persecute_v but_o not_o forsake_v cast_v down_o but_o we_o perish_v not_o and_o he_o make_v a_o particular_a recit_fw-la all_o of_o many_o of_o they_o in_o the_o eleven_o chapter_n follow_v but_o special_o that_o of_o the_o twelve_o serve_v for_o this_o purpose_n where_o he_o say_v lest_o i_o shall_v be_v exalt_v out_o of_o measure_n through_o the_o abundance_n or_o excellency_n for_o the_o greek_a word_n do_v signify_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o of_o revelation_n there_o be_v give_v unto_o i_o a_o prick_n in_o the_o flesh_n the_o messenger_n satan_n to_o buffet_v i_o for_o this_o thing_n i_o beseech_v the_o lord_n thrice_o that_o it_o may_v depart_v from_o i_o but_o he_o say_v unto_o i_o my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o for_o my_o power_n be_v make_v perfect_a through_o weakness_n and_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o god_n will_v lay_v any_o thing_n upon_o these_o the_o only_a worthy_n of_o the_o world_n save_o that_o which_o be_v good_a indeed_o if_o we_o imagine_v so_o we_o be_v much_o deceive_v and_o think_v that_o that_o will_v neither_o agree_v with_o god_n nature_n in_o love_n nor_o stand_v with_o the_o favour_n &_o affection_n that_o he_o bear_v unto_o his_o child_n for_o no_o doubt_n but_o as_o he_o love_v they_o most_o dearlie_o so_o he_o bestow_v upon_o they_o the_o great_a and_o best_a blessing_n again_o if_o in_o all_o affliction_n we_o may_v in_o our_o measure_n say_v as_o david_n the_o prophet_n say_v in_o some_o particular_n of_o his_o own_o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o o_o lord_n that_o i_o have_v be_v trouble_v for_o before_o i_o be_v afflict_v i_o go_v astray_o but_o now_o i_o have_v learned_a to_o keep_v thy_o law_n then_o much_o more_o in_o affliction_n of_o this_o kind_n i_o mean_v sorrow_n and_o sickness_n of_o soul_n for_o sin_n past_a god_n use_v it_o not_o only_o as_o a_o mean_a to_o draw_v we_o to_o repentance_n for_o that_o which_o be_v past_a but_o to_o make_v we_o in_o time_n hereafter_o to_o come_v more_o wary_a of_o and_o watchful_a over_o that_o that_o in_o former_a time_n have_v bite_v we_o and_o pinch_v we_o by_o the_o heart_n and_o provoke_v we_o in_o the_o heaviness_n of_o our_o spirit_n to_o spend_v time_n that_o way_n to_o provide_v comfort_n for_o ourselves_o spiritual_a i_o mean_v that_o other_o be_v constrain_v to_o employ_v about_o bodily_a ease_n relief_n and_o pleasure_n and_o sure_o they_o these_o inward_a sorrow_n &_o grief_n can_v choose_v but_o be_v good_a not_o only_o because_o they_o be_v occupy_v about_o a_o more_o excellent_a part_n the_o soul_n i_o mean_v which_o god_n no_o doubt_n do_v especial_o regard_n but_o also_o because_o they_o bring_v forth_o better_a at_o least_o sure_a i_o be_o more_o spiritual_a effect_n as_o because_o they_o pinch_v more_o more_o earnest_a prayer_n for_o grace_n to_o bear_v with_o patience_n to_o undergo_v with_o profit_n and_o to_o overcome_v through_o strength_n and_o do_v more_o conform_v we_o unto_o the_o image_n of_o our_o head_n in_o his_o sustringe_n who_o endure_v much_o more_o this_o way_n than_o any_o other_o way_n and_o therefore_o also_o better_a or_o more_o excellent_a where_o we_o must_v yet_o further_o note_n that_o that_o be_v not_o simple_o or_o only_o as_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o affliction_n themselves_o but_o because_o god_n accompany_v they_o with_o the_o power_n of_o his_o sanctify_a spirit_n which_o make_v we_o in_o some_o measure_n not_o only_o peataker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n while_o we_o fly_v the_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n but_o like_v unto_o god_n as_o in_o other_o respect_n so_o in_o this_o that_o as_o he_o cause_v the_o rage_n of_o man_n to_o turn_v unto_o his_o praise_n and_o at_o the_o beginue_n yea_o and_o ever_o since_o to_o command_v light_a to_o shine_v out_o of_o darkness_n so_o we_o out_o of_o the_o folly_n of_o our_o own_o sin_n learn_v spiritual_a wisdom_n &_o from_o their_o darkness_n which_o be_v more_o palpable_a and_o gross_a than_o that_o of_o egypt_n labour_n and_o learn_v to_o setch_v the_o spiritual_a light_n of_o a_o holy_a life_n and_o a_o further_a proof_n yet_o we_o have_v of_o this_o point_n in_o that_o god_n himself_o be_v please_v well_o to_o like_v of_o &_o high_o to_o commend_v this_o estate_n and_o condition_n we_o know_v and_o believe_v that_o he_o alone_o be_v the_o best_a able_a to_o discern_v of_o man_n and_o matter_n and_o we_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v of_o this_o also_o that_o for_o his_o entire_a uprightness_n he_o can_v give_v wrong_a sentence_n or_o judgement_n for_o howsoever_o man_n through_o blindness_n partiality_n or_o other_o corrupt_a respect_n have_v be_v and_o be_v foul_o mislead_v &_o err_v in_o matter_n of_o opinion_n and_o fact_n yet_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n fall_v into_o god_n he_o can_v do_v no_o otherwise_o but_o determine_v according_a to_o right_n so_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a be_v all_o and_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o god_n but_o he_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o he_o like_v well_o of_o &_o will_v respect_v and_o regard_v indeed_o those_o that_o be_v this_o way_n exercise_v of_o which_o if_o any_o man_n doubt_v let_v he_o but_o mark_n and_o embrace_v that_o which_o we_o speak_v according_a unto_o godliness_n and_o truth_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o shall_v be_v well_o persuade_v in_o the_o 51._o psal_n david_n as_o well_o experience_v in_o these_o case_n as_o any_o man_n say_v thus_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v such_o as_o the_o lord_n now_o delight_v in_o and_o accept_v of_o be_v a_o break_a spirit_n by_o which_o he_o mean_v a_o mind_n that_o be_v

as_o though_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a he_o add_v further_a a_o break_a and_o a_o contrite_a heart_n o_o god_n thou_o will_v not_o despise_v god_n not_o despise_v be_v indeed_o esteem_v and_o
