Preached and written by the reverend & godly learned M. Iohn More, late preacher in the citie of Norwitch. And now first published by M. Nicholas Bovvnd: whereunto he hath adioyned of his owne, A sermon of comfort for the afflicted: and, A short treatise of a contented mind.

we_o so_o great_a or_o infirmity_n so_o many_o upon_o we_o which_o the_o spirit_n shall_v not_o strengthen_v even_o to_o the_o bear_n of_o the_o great_a cross_n that_o may_v be_v lay_v upon_o we_o as_o we_o hear_v the_o apostle_n say_v before_o that_o god_n do_v comfort_v he_o in_o all_o his_o tribulation_n and_o that_o his_o consolation_n do_v abound_v even_o as_o his_o suffering_n do_v abound_v in_o the_o mean_a season_n he_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o far_o pass_v any_o strength_n that_o be_v in_o we_o to_o bear_v they_o yea_o that_o we_o be_v very_o weak_a of_o ourselves_o and_o subject_a to_o many_o infirmity_n though_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o it_o do_v not_o rid_v we_o of_o they_o nay_o the_o very_a apostle_n and_o paul_n himself_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o have_v undergo_v so_o many_o and_o great_a thing_n as_o he_o do_v be_v a_o frail_a man_n like_o unto_o we_o but_o that_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n help_v he_o in_o his_o infirmity_n the_o truth_n of_o which_o may_v likewise_o appear_v in_o the_o great_a complaint_n of_o david_n job_n and_o the_o rest_n who_o though_o they_o do_v patient_o bear_v many_o great_a thing_n yet_o not_o without_o many_o infirmity_n for_o job_n sometime_o curse_v his_o day_n &_o david_n say_v unto_o god_n in_o his_o haste_n i_o be_o cast_v out_o of_o thy_o sight_n psal_n 31._o 22._o &_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o imagine_v of_o such_o a_o portion_n of_o god_n spirit_n that_o may_v swallow_v up_o all_o our_o infirmity_n for_o then_o we_o be_v no_o man_n but_o it_o must_v be_v sufficient_a that_o we_o be_v aid_v with_o the_o strength_n of_o it_o so_o that_o we_o final_o fall_v not_o down_o and_o lie_v still_o under_o the_o heavy_a burden_n of_o affliction_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o mix_a thing_n as_o it_o be_v in_o we_o namely_o our_o own_o infirmity_n to_o humble_v we_o &_o the_o strength_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o bear_v so_o that_o have_v so_o able_a a_o helper_n to_o bear_v with_o we_o we_o may_v be_v comfort_v with_o hope_n of_o

further_o add_v that_o the_o same_o spirit_n shall_v likewise_o stir_v we_o up_o in_o all_o necessity_n of_o we_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o make_v our_o moan_n unto_o he_o as_o to_o our_o father_n and_o shall_v be_v hear_v of_o he_o for_o though_o we_o sometime_o through_o the_o greatness_n of_o our_o misery_n know_v not_o what_o or_o how_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v yet_o his_o spirit_n shall_v stir_v up_o even_o then_o though_o not_o many_o well_o order_v speech_n or_o word_n yet_o those_o sigh_n and_o groan_n which_o be_v unspeakable_a and_o only_o feel_v be_v notwithstanding_o well_o understand_v and_o accept_v of_o god_n because_o they_o proceed_v from_o his_o spirit_n who_o meaning_n he_o know_v and_o grant_v because_o it_o make_v request_n for_o the_o

yet_o there_o may_v be_v a_o time_n and_o that_o very_a often_o wherein_o we_o may_v be_v so_o distract_v by_o some_o great_a affliction_n and_o in_o that_o case_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v astonish_v and_o overcome_v with_o the_o greatness_n and_o strangeness_n of_o it_o we_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o pray_v and_o though_o prayer_n then_o be_v our_o only_a refuge_n yet_o we_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o to_o begin_v it_o or_o what_o to_o say_v and_o so_o unlike_a shall_v we_o be_v unto_o ourselves_o and_o that_o that_o we_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a as_o though_o we_o be_v not_o the_o same_o nay_o our_o estate_n may_v seem_v like_a unto_o the_o wicked_a who_o be_v at_o their_o wit_n end_n for_o if_o we_o be_v ask_v what_o we_o will_v have_v we_o can_v not_o tell_v and_o though_o we_o have_v liberty_n to_o ask_v of_o god_n we_o can_v not_o use_v it_o for_o we_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o pray_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n but_o yet_o most_o true_a and_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v not_o in_o some_o but_o in_o the_o most_o excellent_a servant_n of_o god_n even_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o as_o paul_n here_o bring_v in_o himself_o for_o a_o example_n and_o in_o this_o infirmity_n make_v himself_o like_a unto_o the_o rest_n and_o though_o we_o have_v a_o form_n of_o prayer_n prescribe_v we_o by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n yet_o we_o ask_v those_o thing_n many_o time_n which_o if_o we_o have_v they_o will_v hurt_v we_o and_o when_o we_o ask_v that_o which_o be_v profitable_a and_o good_a yet_o by_o prescribe_v to_o the_o lord_n the_o time_n manner_n and_o mean_n of_o our_o deliverance_n we_o pray_v with_o such_o impatience_n and_o distrust_n that_o it_o may_v true_o be_v say_v we_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v this_o be_v the_o estate_n of_o good_a king_n hezekiah_n isa_n 38._o 14._o when_o he_o be_v oppress_v in_o the_o bitterness_n of_o his_o soul_n as_o he_o say_v &_o he_o chatter_v like_o a_o crane_n or_o a_o

and_o when_o he_o mourn_v in_o his_o prayer_n and_o can_v but_o make_v a_o noise_n psal_n 55._o 2._o and_o when_o as_o he_o say_v for_o the_o voice_n of_o his_o groan_v his_o bone_n do_v cleave_v to_o his_o skin_n and_o that_o he_o be_v like_o a_o pelicane_n of_o the_o wilderness_n and_o like_o a_o owl_n of_o the_o desert_n and_o as_o a_o sparrow_n alone_o upon_o the_o house_n top_n psalm_n 102._o 5_o 6_o 7._o and_o when_o his_o heart_n pant_v and_o his_o strength_n fail_v he_o even_o the_o light_n of_o his_o eye_n he_o roar_v for_o the_o very_a grief_n of_o his_o heart_n and_o he_o pour_v out_o his_o whole_a desire_n before_o the_o lord_n by_o sob_v and_o sigh_v rather_o than_o by_o any_o thing_n else_o thus_o these_o most_o excellent_a servant_n of_o god_n in_o their_o great_a agony_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v unto_o god_n in_o any_o tolerable_a manner_n that_o in_o their_o own_o sense_n and_o feeling_n they_o do_v but_o roar_v and_o cry_v sob_n and_o sigh_v
