that_o the_o heart_n even_o of_o king_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o a_o boat_n in_o the_o river_n of_o water_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n to_o directe_v his_o own_o

and_o daily_o exhort_v all_o man_n of_o what_o mind_n soever_o they_o be_v that_o they_o have_v a_o care_n to_o hear_v god_n word_n for_o in_o that_o they_o come_v though_o their_o intent_n be_v not_o

must_v observe_v two_o profitable_a lesson_n for_o our_o comfort_n and_o instruction_n the_o first_o be_v a_o experience_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n for_o they_o that_o seek_v shall_v find_v and_o to_o those_o 7_o that_o knock_v it_o shall_v be_v open_v and_o that_o god_n be_v near_o at_o hand_n to_o all_o they_o that_o 18._o call_v upon_o he_o faithful_o for_o our_o good_a and_o gracious_a god_n be_v full_a of_o mercy_n and_o tender_a kindness_n do_v open_v the_o treasure_n thereof_o unto_o his_o child_n when_o they_o seek_v it_o by_o repentance_n from_o the_o bottom_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o anguish_n of_o their_o soul_n acknowledge_v their_o woeful_a estate_n and_o wretched_a condition_n if_o he_o shall_v leave_v they_o to_o themselves_o so_o he_o deal_v with_o the_o israelite_n in_o their_o slighte_n before_o pharaoh_n 15._o and_o his_o host_n so_o with_o david_n be_v wound_v with_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o 9_o own_o sin_n so_o with_o paul_n be_v 11._o cast_v down_o and_o blind_v in_o body_n to_o teach_v he_o the_o blindness_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o thus_o he_o deal_v with_o his_o dear_a belove_a child_n to_o wit_n give_v they_o a_o sight_n of_o their_o own_o sin_n and_o his_o judgemente_n deserve_v for_o the_o same_o that_o they_o may_v learn_v to_o go_v out_o of_o themselves_o where_o be_v nothing_o but_o confusion_n and_o so_o to_o seek_v unto_o he_o with_o a_o unfeigned_a desire_n of_o comfort_n the_o use_n of_o which_o doctrine_n be_v right_o apply_v be_v mooste_o sweet_a and_o comfortable_a for_o it_o be_v the_o lot_n of_o god_n child_n to_o be_v often_o grieve_v in_o their_o soul_n and_o afflict_a in_o conscience_n through_o the_o view_n of_o their_o own_o sin_n whereby_o satan_n will_v make_v they_o believe_v y_fw-es ●_o it_o be_v for_o that_o god_n have_v cast_v they_o of_o and_o give_v they_o over_o into_o hardness_n of_o heart_n thereby_o labour_v to_o drive_v they_o to_o despair_v but_o we_o must_v strive_v to_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o clean_a contrary_n for_o to_o be_v give_v over_o of_o god_n be_v to_o wallow_v in_o all_o sin_n without_o remorse_n to_o heap_v transgression_n upon_o transgression_n without_o sight_n of_o the_o danger_n thereof_o and_o so_o to_o make_v a_o sport_n of_o iniquity_n but_o to_o be_v grieve_v with_o sin_n to_o feel_v the_o burden_n thereof_o with_o desire_n to_o be_v ease_v though_o we_o feel_v no_o present_a comfort_n be_v the_o undoubted_a work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o shall_v by_o god_n grace_n in_o

and_o therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n lay_v any_o trial_n upon_o we_o that_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v swallow_v up_o of_o many_o danger_n that_o be_v imminent_a though_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n to_o be_v grieve_v at_o it_o yet_o we_o must_v strive_v to_o fly_v up_o far_o to_o wit_n to_o learn_v this_o lesson_n that_o if_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o great_a danger_n assail_v we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o especial_a work_n to_o bring_v to_o pass_v by_o we_o whereby_o he_o will_v not_o only_o have_v his_o own_o glory_n to_o shine_v out_o more_o bright_o but_o also_o that_o we_o may_v perceive_v his_o love_n unto_o we_o more_o evident_o the_o second_o thing_n y_fw-fr ●_o we_o have_v to_o note_v be_v peter_n readiness_n to_o salve_v that_o sore_n that_o he_o have_v make_v &_o to_o heal_v the_o wound_n that_o they_o be_v pain_v with_o all_o which_o show_v in_o he_o two_o quality_n that_o be_v

god_n word_n shall_v have_v to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n willing_o to_o seek_v soul_n unto_o christ_n and_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o darkness_n into_o light_n so_o it_o show_v unto_o the_o people_n that_o when_o the_o minister_n reprove_v sin_n sharp_o and_o gall_v they_o to_o the_o quick_a he_o neither_o do_v it_o of_o malice_n nor_o choler_n neither_o yet_o of_o hatred_n but_o of_o mere_a love_n unto_o they_o to_o do_v they_o good_a to_o bring_v they_o to_o see_v themselves_o and_o so_o to_o seek_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o howsoever_o flesh_n and_o blood_n judge_v otherwise_o they_o be_v the_o great_a fooe_n to_o man_n soul_n that_o do_v tickle_v the_o ear_n with_o paint_a eloquence_n study_v rather_o for_o please_a speech_n to_o delight_v the_o sense_n than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o cast_v down_o man_n pride_n that_o he_o may_v be_v humble_v to_o god_n these_o be_v they_o who_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o that_o sow_v cushion_n 18._o under_o man_n elbow_n to_o lull_v they_o a_o sleep_n in_o their_o sin_n these_o be_v fit_a preacher_n for_o such_o as_o cry_v out_o preach_v to_o we_o pleasant_a thing_n but_o saint_n peter_n be_v not_o in_o the_o number_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o do_v love_v this_o people_n most_o dear_o the_o second_o quality_n that_o we_o note_v in_o peter_n be_v his_o hability_n in_o that_o he_o be_v able_a present_o to_o tell_v they_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v for_o if_o when_o by_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n judgement_n he_o have_v wound_v they_o he_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o help_v their_o

commend_v unto_o we_o a_o pattern_n of_o a_o right_a minister_n of_o the_o word_n who_o must_v be_v able_a to_o bring_v out_o of_o his_o treasury_n both_o 9_o old_a and_o new_a he_o must_v be_v able_a to_o teach_v to_o resist_v the_o gainesaier_n to_o instruct_v to_o reprove_v and_o comfort_v but_o alas_o the_o world_n be_v come_v now_o to_o that_o pass_n that_o if_o he_o can_v read_v and_o that_o
