without_o he_o better_a in_o the_o lion_n den_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o the_o roar_a lion_n and_o with_o christ_n then_o in_o a_o down_o bed_n with_o wife_n and_o child_n without_o christ._n the_o speech_n of_o david_n be_v memorable_a that_o sweet_a affectionate_a prince_n and_o soldier_n how_o sweet_a be_v thy_o word_n to_o my_o taste_n yea_o sweet_a than_o the_o honey_n and_o the_o

of_o all_o his_o distress_n trial_n and_o temptation_n that_o fall_v upon_o he_o and_o so_o the_o lord_n deal_v to_o this_o day_n the_o great_a the_o captivity_n be_v of_o his_o servant_n the_o

be_v in_o affliction_n but_o beware_v of_o those_o thought_n or_o else_o experience_n will_v teach_v all_o to_o recall_v or_o to_o unwith_o those_o thought_n for_o it_o be_v against_o the_o course_n of_o scripture_n to_o wish_v for_o evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o we_o can_v expect_v the_o presence_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o he_o a_o man_n lay_v himself_o open_a to_o trouble_v but_o we_o be_v rather_o to_o follow_v christ_n example_n father_n not_o my_o will_n but_o thy_o will_n be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o when_o thou_o be_v bring_v thus_o prostrate_v before_o the_o lord_n like_o a_o obedient_a child_n ready_a to_o suffer_v what_o he_o will_v impose_v on_o thou_o then_o if_o he_o think_v good_a to_o try_v we_o we_o may_v exclude_v no_o trial_n no_o captivity_n though_o burdensome_a or_o tedious_a to_o nature_n for_o they_o will_v appear_v sweet_a and_o sanctify_a in_o the_o issue_n if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n lay_v on_o special_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o impose_v trouble_n on_o he_o in_o way_n of_o trial_n as_o he_o say_v to_o israel_n of_o old_a i_o do_v it_o to_o prove_v you_o and_o to_o see_v what_o be_v in_o your_o heart_n whether_o a_o soul_n will_v not_o do_v as_o the_o foolish_a young_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n cling_v more_o close_a to_o his_o honour_n or_o profit_n or_o ease_n or_o peace_n or_o liberty_n then_o to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o exercise_v his_o people_n with_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n that_o he_o may_v appear_v to_o they_o in_o mercy_n and_o reveal_v more_o clear_o his_o free_a grace_n unto_o their_o soul_n therefore_o consider_v dear_a brethren_n and_o err_v not_o neither_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o to_o the_o left_a and_o be_v not_o as_o ephraim_n like_o a_o untamed_a heifer_n that_o will_v not_o stoop_v unto_o the_o yoke_n but_o stoop_v to_o god_n affliction_n if_o he_o please_v to_o impose_v they_o and_o fear_v they_o not_o when_o they_o be_v from_o god_n and_o know_v that_o christ_n can_v be_v have_v without_o a_o cross_n they_o be_v inseparable_a you_o can_v have_v christ_n in_o his_o ordinance_n but_o you_o must_v have_v his_o cross_n do_v ever_o any_o christian_a read_v that_o in_o the_o pure_a church_n that_o ever_o be_v that_o christian_n be_v free_v from_o the_o cross_n be_v not_o the_o cross_n carry_v after_o christ_n and_o andrew_n must_v follow_v christ_n but_o not_o without_o a_o cross_n he_o must_v take_v it_o and_o bear_v it_o and_o that_o upon_o his_o shoulder_n imply_v it_o be_v not_o a_o light_a cross_n but_o weighty_a oh_o let_v not_o christian_n show_v themselves_o to_o be_v so_o forgetful_a as_o i_o fear_v many_o be_v of_o the_o old_a way_n of_o christ_n case_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n will_v have_v christ_n and_o ease_n but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v in_o this_o world_n be_v the_o servant_n better_o than_o the_o master_n no_o he_o be_v not_o neither_o shall_v he_o be_v but_o you_o may_v demand_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o cross_n we_o meet_v with_o many_o cross_n in_o the_o world_n loss_n at_o home_n and_o abroad_o in_o church_n and_o common_a wealth_n what_o cross_n do_v christ_n mean_a be_v it_o a_o cross_a to_o be_v destitute_a of_o a_o house_n to_o put_v his_o head_n in_o or_o be_v it_o his_o cross_n that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o delicious_o say_v as_o other_o man_n or_o to_o be_v so_o mean_a wan●ing_v honour_n as_o other_o have_v o●_n be_v it_o that_o his_o habit_n be_v not_o answerable_a to_o the_o course_n of_o the_o world_n or_o to_o be_v destitute_a of_o silver_n and_o gold_n as_o it_o be_v the_o lot_n of_o many_o of_o god_n saint_n to_o this_o day_n this_o be_v not_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n you_o shall_v not_o hear_v he_o complain_v of_o his_o estate_n that_o it_o be_v too_o mean_a or_o his_o lodging_n too_o bad_a or_o his_o garment_n too_o plain_a these_o be_v not_o the_o trouble_n of_o christ_n these_o be_v companion_n to_o the_o cross_n but_o the_o chief_a cross_n that_o christ_n have_v be_v that_o the_o word_n of_o his_o father_n can_v not_o take_v place_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v send_v and_o suffer_v for_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o father_n that_o be_v christ_n cross_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cross_n too_o that_o christian_n must_v expect_v and_o that_o in_o the_o pure_a church_n and_o therefore_o why_o do_v you_o stand_v and_o admire_v at_o new_a england_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v contention_n there_o and_o difference_n there_o and_o that_o for_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n do_v you_o not_o remember_v that_o the_o cross_n follow_v the_o church_n have_v it_o not_o be_v already_o say_v that_o christ_n cross_n follow_v he_o and_o andrew_n must_v carry_v it_o and_o that_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n will_v contend_v together_o for_o the_o truth_n sake_n and_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n say_v contend_v for_o the_o truth_n though_o not_o in_o a_o violent_a way_n do_v not_o christ_n say_v i_o come_v not_o to_o bring_v peace_n but_o a_o sword_n and_o why_o shall_v man_n wonder_v at_o we_o see_v that_o trouble_n and_o contention_n have_v follow_v the_o pure_a church_n since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o this_o day_n wherefore_o shall_v we_o not_o look_v back_o to_o the_o scripture_n and_o deny_v our_o own_o reason_n and_o let_v that_o be_v our_o guide_n and_o platform_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o so_o much_o admire_v when_o we_o know_v it_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o god_n church_n to_o have_v trouble_n and_o contention_n and_o when_o we_o know_v also_o it_o be_v god_n that_o bring_v they_o and_o that_o for_o good_a to_o his_o church_n have_v not_o god_n ever_o bring_v light_n out_o of_o darkness_n good_a out_o of_o evil_a do_v not_o the_o breath_n of_o god_n spirit_n sweet_o breathe_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o these_o poor_a captive_n which_o we_o now_o relate_v and_o do_v we_o not_o ever_o find_v the_o great_a the_o affliction_n and_o trouble_n of_o god_n people_n be_v the_o more_o eminent_a be_v his_o grace_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o servant_n you_o that_o intend_v to_o go_v to_o new_a england_n fear_v not_o a_o little_a trouble_n more_o man_n will_v go_v to_o sea_n if_o they_o be_v sure_a to_o meet_v with_o no_o storm_n but_o he_o be_v the_o most_o courageous_a soldier_n that_o see_v the_o battle_n pitch_v the_o drum_n beat_v a_o alarm_n and_o trumpet_n sound_v a_o charge_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o join_v in_o the_o battle_n show_v not_o yourselves_o coward_n but_o proceed_v on_o in_o your_o intention_n and_o abuse_v not_o the_o lenity_n of_o our_o noble_a prince_n and_o the_o sweet_a liberty_n he_o have_v from_o time_n to_o time_n give_v to_o pass_v and_o repass_v according_a to_o our_o desire_a will_n wherefore_o do_v you_o stop_v be_v you_o afraid_a may_v not_o the_o lord_n do_v this_o to_o prove_v your_o
