A47400	A discovery of some troublesome thoughts Wherewith many godly precious souls are burthened, and extreamly pressed: that like a canker eats out all their comforts, and keeps their souls under continuall fears and distractions. Together with a compound of some Scripture and experimentall cordials, for the refreshing of those who are sick of such a disease; and through the blessing of God, may prove medicinall, to the cure of some, and the comforting of others.

spirit_n thou_o be_v make_v unfit_a for_o god_n consolation_n to_o receive_v they_o or_o rejoice_v in_o he_o it_o be_v distasteful_a to_o thou_o as_o he_o that_o take_v away_o a_o garment_n in_o

all_o these_o be_v true_a therefore_o the_o other_o objection_n but_o some_o may_v say_v the_o apostle_n james_n 4.9_o bid_v be_v afflict_v mourn_v and_o weep_v and_o christ_n say_v bless_a be_v you_o that_o mourn_n therefore_o this_o can_v be_v so_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o james_n be_v his_o council_n to_o those_o that_o have_v adulterate_v themselves_o with_o the_o world_n as_o appear_v by_o

that_o it_o make_v nothing_o against_o the_o point_n that_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v his_o people_n lie_v under_o discouragement_n object_n 2_o but_o some_o may_v say_v again_o this_o be_v a_o needless_a point_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o gospel_n time_n be_v not_o trouble_v in_o their_o heart_n i_o answer_v yea_o but_o they_o be_v which_o appear_v by_o these_o consideration_n

of_o information_n be_v it_o so_o that_o christ_n will_v not_o have_v his_o people_n lie_v under_o discouragement_n then_o it_o inform_v we_o that_o we_o may_v bold_o say_v and_o conclude_v that_o
