every_o cranny_n and_o bring_v light_a heat_n and_o influence_n into_o every_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o christ_n say_v let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v now_o for_o the_o way_n whereby_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o comfort_v our_o heart_n among_o many_o that_o i_o may_v speak_v of_o i_o will_v name_v a_o few_o first_o of_o all_o there_o must_v be_v a_o due_a search_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o trouble_n for_o oftentimes_o christian_n be_v trouble_v they_o can_v tell_v wherefore_o as_o child_n that_o will_v complain_v they_o know_v not_o why_o i_o speak_v not_o of_o hypocrite_n that_o will_v complain_v of_o that_o which_o be_v not_o a_o true_a grief_n to_o they_o like_o some_o bird_n that_o make_v great_a noise_n when_o they_o be_v further_a from_o their_o nest_n but_o of_o some_o poor_a christian_n that_o be_v trouble_v but_o distinct_o know_v not_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o but_o search_v the_o heart_n ingenuous_o and_o true_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o achan_n in_o the_o camp_n some_o sin_n in_o the_o heart_n for_o sin_n be_v like_a wind_n when_o it_o get_v into_o the_o vein_n it_o will_v have_v vent_n and_o a_o troublesome_a one_o and_o so_o will_v sin_v if_o it_o get_v into_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v that_o indeed_o which_o cause_v all_o trouble_n and_o therefore_o search_v your_o heart_n thorough_o what_o sin_n lie_v there_o unrepented_a of_o and_o for_o which_o you_o have_v not_o be_v humble_v and_o when_o you_o have_v find_v out_o your_o sin_n give_v it_o vent_v by_o confession_n of_o it_o to_o god_n and_o in_o some_o case_n to_o other_o and_o when_o we_o have_v do_v so_o consider_v what_o promise_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v fit_v to_o that_o condition_n for_o we_o can_v be_v in_o no_o condition_n but_o there_o be_v comfort_n for_o it_o and_o promise_v fit_v to_o yield_v comfort_n for_o every_o malady_n and_o it_o will_v be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o christian_n to_o accommodate_v the_o remedy_n to_o the_o sore_a of_o his_o heart_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v skilful_a and_o well_o see_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v sore_o up_o comfort_n beforehand_o our_o saviour_n christ_n tell_v they_o beforehand_o of_o the_o scandal_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o of_o peter_n denial_n that_o they_o may_v lay_v up_o strength_n and_o spiritual_a armour_n against_o the_o day_n of_o trial_n those_o comfort_n do_v not_o for_o the_o most_o part_n hold_v out_o in_o the_o day_n of_o adversity_n quaesita_fw-la which_o be_v not_o procure_v in_o the_o day_n of_o prosperity_n it_o be_v not_o wisdom_n to_o be_v to_o learn_v religion_n when_o we_o shall_v use_v it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v spiritual_a good_a husband_n for_o our_o soul_n by_o store_v up_o comfort_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v then_o to_o remember_v the_o comfort_n that_o we_o do_v beforehand_o know_v and_o there_o be_v some_o promise_n of_o more_o general_a use_n that_o be_v catholica_fw-la fit_v for_o all_o sort_n of_o grievance_n and_o of_o these_o we_o must_v make_v use_n when_o we_o can_v think_v of_o particular_a one_o as_o the_o promise_n that_o concern_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n think_v of_o god_n mercy_n in_o pardon_v sin_n with_o admiration_n because_o sin_n will_v be_v present_v we_o in_o such_o terrible_a colour_n that_o if_o god_n be_v not_o present_v in_o as_o gracious_a colour_n we_o shall_v sink_v and_o therefore_o set_v out_o christ_n in_o his_o mercy_n and_o all_o sufficiency_n when_o sin_n be_v aggravate_v to_o be_v in_o its_o heinousness_n and_o out_o of_o measure_n sinfulness_n as_o the_o prophet_n michah_n do_v who_o be_v a_o god_n like_o our_o god_n that_o pardon_v iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n etc._n etc._n likewise_o how_o many_o promise_n and_o comfort_n be_v there_o in_o that_o one_o promise_n luk._n 11._o he_o will_v give_v his_o spirit_n to_o they_o that_o ask_v he_o and_o here_o our_o saviour_n promise_v to_o send_v the_o comforter_n all_o grace_n and_o all_o comfort_n be_v include_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o comfort_n his_o spirit_n be_v a_o spirit_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n think_v that_o the_o promise_v enough_o when_o be_n say_v he_o will_v send_v they_o the_o comforter_n and_o so_o what_o a_o world_n of_o comfort_n be_v in_o that_o promise_n all_o thing_n shall_v work_v together_o for_o the_o best_a to_o they_o that_o love_n god_n yea_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v worst_a shall_v work_v together_o though_o they_o be_v hostile_a and_o opposite_a one_o to_o another_o yet_o they_o join_v issue_n in_o this_o they_o be_v all_o for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n people_n as_o in_o a_o clock_n the_o wheel_n go_v several_a way_n but_o all_o join_v to_o make_v the_o clock_n strike_v and_o so_o in_o the_o carriage_n and_o order_v of_o thing_n one_o passage_n cross_v another_o but_o in_o the_o issue_n we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o say_v all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o the_o best_a i_o find_v god_n turn_v all_o thing_n for_o my_o good_a and_o i_o can_v not_o have_v be_v without_o such_o a_o cross_n such_o a_o affliction_n and_o so_o for_o present_a assistance_n in_o your_o calling_n or_o strait_n remember_v that_o promise_n make_v to_o josuab_n which_o be_v repeat_v in_o the_o 13_o of_o the_o hebrew_n i_o will_v not_o fail_v thou_o nor_o for_o sake_n thou_o a_o promise_n which_o be_v five_o time_n renew_v in_o scripture_n and_o how_o much_o comfort_n be_v in_o that_o that_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v by_o his_o spirit_n a_o gracious_a presence_n in_o all_o condition_n whatsoever_o and_o likewise_o that_o of_o david_n psalm_n 23._o though_o i_o walk_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n yet_o will_v i_o fear_v no_o ill_a for_o thou_o be_v with_o i_o it_o be_v a_o terrible_a supposition_n make_v that_o though_o he_o shall_v walk_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n yet_o he_o will_v fear_v no_o evil_a these_o promise_n well_o digest_v will_v arm_v the_o soul_n with_o confidence_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o put_v any_o case_n of_o trouble_n as_o in_o the_o 27._o psalm_n david_n put_v case_n the_o lord_n be_v my_o strength_n the_o lord_n be_v the_o light_n of_o my_o countenance_n of_o who_o shall_v i_o be_v afraid_a though_o thousand_o shall_v rise_v against_o i_o yet_o in_o this_o i_o will_v be_v confident_a if_o our_o heart_n be_v establish_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n settle_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o such_o promise_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n we_o may_v set_v god_n and_o his_o truth_n against_o all_o trouble_n that_o can_v arise_v from_o satan_n and_o hell_n and_o the_o instrument_n of_o satan_n or_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a wrong_n to_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n if_o we_o know_v not_o our_o portion_n of_o comfort_n and_o use_v it_o as_o occasion_n serve_v more_o particular_n i_o omit_v leave_v they_o to_o your_o own_o industry_n the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o they_o when_o we_o have_v these_o promise_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o understand_v they_o thorough_o to_o understand_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o comfort_n in_o they_o and_o to_o believe_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o which_o be_v as_o true_a as_o god_n who_o be_v truth_n itself_o and_o then_o to_o love_v they_o and_o digest_v they_o in_o our_o affection_n and_o so_o make_v they_o our_o own_o and_o then_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o strength_n and_o comfort_n of_o they_o labour_v likewise_o to_o have_v they_o fresh_a in_o memory_n it_o be_v a_o great_a defect_n of_o christian_n they_o forget_v their_o consolation_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hebrew_n 5._o though_o we_o know_v many_o thing_n yet_o we_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o our_o comfort_n from_o no_o more_o than_o we_o remember_v but_o above_o all_o if_o we_o will_v keep_v our_o heart_n from_o trouble_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o keep_v unspotre_v conscience_n innocence_n and_o diligence_n be_v marvellous_a preserver_n of_o comfort_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o conscience_n be_v sport_v and_o unclean_a wash_v it_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v first_o purge_v and_o then_o purify_n it_o first_o purge_v the_o soul_n be_v set_v a-work_o to_o search_v our_o sin_n and_o confess_v they_o which_o make_v we_o see_v our_o need_n of_o christ_n who_o die_v to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n then_o god_n sprinkle_v our_o heart_n with_o this_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o all_o penitent_a sinner_n by_o which_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v purge_v the_o conscience_n will_v be_v soon_o satisfy_v also_o by_o christ_n blood_n and_o

bodily_a or_o spiritual_o their_o error_n be_v in_o tie_v all_o comfort_n to_o a_o bodily_a a_o corporal_a presence_n as_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o sun_n to_o come_v down_o and_o abide_v upon_o the_o earth_n to_o bestow_v its_o heat_n and_o influence_n and_o therefore_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o though_o he_o be_v to_o go_v away_o yet_o he_o will_v send_v another_o comforter_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o then_o they_o be_v overcome_v by_o a_o opinion_n that_o it_o will_v go_v worse_o with_o they_o when_o christ_n be_v go_v therefore_o christ_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v better_o for_o they_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v better_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v away_o his_o bless_a presence_n for_o their_o disadvantage_n but_o for_o their_o good_a god_n never_o take_v any_o thing_n from_o his_o child_n but_o he_o make_v it_o up_o in_o a_o better_a kind_n if_o christ_n take_v away_o his_o bodily_a presence_n he_o leave_v his_o spiritual_a presence_n and_o more_o abundant_o so_o that_o though_o they_o be_v lead_v with_o sensible_a thing_n and_o what_o they_o see_v not_o they_o can_v hardly_o believe_v yet_o christ_n look_v to_o what_o be_v good_a in_o they_o and_o accept_v it_o he_o see_v what_o be_v naught_o in_o they_o with_o a_o purpose_n to_o purge_v it_o what_o be_v natural_o weak_a in_o they_o to_o strengthen_v it_o and_o therefore_o he_o counsel_v they_o let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v first_o observe_v out_o of_o the_o word_n be_v that_o the_o best_a christian_n be_v subject_a to_o be_v trouble_v to_o be_v pensive_a and_o deject_a more_o than_o shall_v be_v indeed_o our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o be_v trouble_v but_o his_o trouble_n be_v like_o the_o shake_n of_o clear_a water_n in_o a_o crystal_n glass_n there_o be_v no_o mud_n in_o the_o bottom_n but_o our_o trouble_n be_v of_o another_o kind_n and_o apt_a to_o be_v inordinate_a we_o may_v carry_v this_o truth_n through_o the_o whole_a scripture_n and_o show_v how_o hannah_n be_v in_o bitterness_n of_o spirit_n which_o exceed_v so_o that_o eli_n a_o good_a man_n mistake_v she_o suppose_v that_o she_o be_v overcome_v with_o drink_n hezekiah_n a_o good_a king_n be_v in_o such_o bitterness_n that_o like_o a_o crane_n or_o swallow_v he_o do_v chatter_v and_o david_n complain_v that_o his_o spirit_n be_v overwhelm_v within_o he_o and_o jonah_n cry_v out_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o belly_n of_o hell_n and_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o partly_o for_o conformity_n to_o our_o head_n and_o partly_o that_o we_o may_v be_v know_v to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v discern_v where_o our_o weakness_n lie_v and_o so_o be_v better_o instruct_v to_o seek_v to_o he_o in_o who_o our_o strength_n lie_v he_o suffer_v we_o likewise_o to_o be_v trouble_v for_o the_o prevent_n of_o spiritual_a sin_n pride_n and_o security_n and_o the_o like_a and_o partly_o in_o regard_n of_o other_o that_o we_o may_v be_v pitiful_a christ_n be_v man_n for_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o merciful_a high_a priest_n and_o we_o have_v much_o more_o need_n to_o know_v and_o feel_v the_o infirmity_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v be_v merciful_a to_o other_o that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v harsh_a and_o censorious_a upon_o the_o trouble_n of_o other_o from_o want_n of_o which_o consideration_n proceed_v elies_n rashness_n in_o pass_v that_o censure_n upon_o hannah_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v we_o know_v that_o our_o heart_n be_v more_o trouble_v than_o they_o shall_v be_v for_o i_o lay_v this_o for_o a_o ground_n that_o we_o may_v sin_v in_o be_v overmuch_o trouble_v at_o thing_n for_o which_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n not_o to_o be_v trouble_v if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v at_o all_o affect_a with_o the_o absence_n of_o christ_n it_o have_v be_v a_o sin_n and_o no_o less_o than_o stupidity_n yet_o it_o be_v their_o sin_n to_o be_v over_o much_o trouble_v in_o a_o word_n therefore_o for_o answer_n a_o trouble_n be_v sinful_a when_o it_o hinder_v we_o in_o duty_n or_o from_o duty_n when_o it_o hinder_v we_o in_o duty_n to_o god_n or_o to_o other_o or_o from_o duty_n that_o be_v when_o the_o soul_n be_v disturb_v by_o it_o and_o like_o a_o instrument_n out_o of_o tune_n make_v fit_a for_o nothing_o or_o like_o a_o limb_n out_o of_o joint_n that_o move_v not_o only_o uncome_o but_o painful_o &_o become_v unfit_a for_o action_n when_o we_o find_v this_o in_o our_o trouble_n we_o may_v know_v it_o be_v not_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v there_o be_v some_o

we_o from_o duty_n or_o trouble_v we_o in_o duty_n they_o be_v exorbitant_a and_o irregular_a natural_o affection_n shall_v be_v help_n to_o duty_n they_o be_v the_o wind_n that_o carry_v the_o soul_n on_o and_o the_o spiritual_a wing_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o that_o a_o man_n without_o affection_n be_v like_o the_o dead_a sea_n that_o move_v not_o at_o all_o but_o then_o they_o must_v be_v regulate_v and_o order_v they_o must_v be_v raise_v up_o and_o lay_v down_o at_o the_o command_n of_o a_o spiritual_a understanding_n when_o they_o be_v raise_v up_o of_o themselves_o by_o shallow_a

than_o they_o be_v right_a and_o orderly_o now_o beside_o the_o hurt_n that_o be_v in_o such_o affection_n themselves_o satan_n love_v to_o fish_n in_o these_o trouble_a water_n the_o affection_n be_v never_o stir_v and_o raise_v up_o irregular_o and_o exorbitant_o but_o satan_n join_v with_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n keep_v our_o affection_n of_o grief_n and_o fear_n within_o

spirit_n be_v too_o large_a a_o argument_n i_o will_v not_o now_o stand_v upon_o it_o only_o i_o will_v show_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o yield_v to_o excess_n of_o trouble_n any_o way_n and_o the_o
