of_o the_o will_n be_v good_a and_o choice_n be_v of_o the_o will_n therefore_o neither_o bare_o consider_v as_o in_o themselves_o can_v be_v choose_v but_o because_o of_o some_o evil_n the_o less_o

be_v more_o vil_fw-mi in_o sin_n than_o in_o affliction_n in_o the_o general_n i_o suppose_v be_v grant_v of_o all_o none_o dare_v deny_v it_o but_o because_o they_o do_v not_o see_v how_o this_o be_v

of_o this_o consider_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o put_v all_o the_o good_a in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n together_o suppose_v the_o

it_o good_a no_o sin_n will_v remain_v still_o as_o evil_a as_o before_o it_o be_v now_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v poison_n indeed_o that_o bring_v all_o the_o sovereign_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o put_v to_o it_o yet_o there_o will_v not_o be_v a_o deminishion_n of_o the_o least_o strength_n of_o that_o poison_n and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o sin_n therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n observe_v it_o those_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v mighty_o mistake_v that_o think_v i_o have_v be_v a_o sinful_a creature_n indeed_o but_o now_o i_o will_v amend_v and_o reform_v and_o be_v better_o that_o by_o add_v some_o good_a to_o their_o former_a sinful_a life_n it_o will_v make_v all_o good_a oh_o know_v that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o evil_n in_o sin_n that_o the_o addition_n of_o all_o the_o good_a of_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n can_v make_v it_o less_o evil_a than_o before_o so_o that_o you_o must_v not_o only_o now_o think_v to_o live_v better_a &_o add_v good_a unto_o your_o former_a evil_n but_o you_o must_v take_v a_o course_n for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o the_o former_a evil_n for_o the_o deliver_v you_o from_o the_o guilt_n and_o stain_n and_o

sin_n the_o better_a that_o can_v make_v sin_n good_a because_o they_o have_v good_a end_n as_o thus_o there_o may_v be_v three_o good_a end_n some_o may_v think_v they_o have_v in_o the_o

be_v such_o deceit_n in_o the_o heart_n as_o thus_o 1_o they_o may_v think_v such_o a_o sin_n will_v help_v such_o a_o grace_n and_o help_v against_o such_o a_o temptation_n and_o such_o a_o sin_n may_v help_v my_o humility_n and_o it_o be_v ordinary_a this_o temptation_n when_o in_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n make_v away_o thyself_o and_o then_o thou_o will_v sin_v no_o more_o for_o so_o long_o as_o i_o live_v i_o shall_v sin_v against_o god_n &_o therefore_o make_v away_o thyself_o and_o so_o cease_v to_o sin_n but_o know_v if_o thou_o lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o thyself_o and_o think_v thou_o shall_v have_v this_o good_a by_o it_o to_o sin_n no_o more_o yet_o thy_o sin_n be_v wicked_a and_o abominable_a though_o thou_o put_v this_o good_a end_n upon_o it_o though_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o in_o crease_n grace_n never_o so_o much_o by_o the_o least_o sinful_a thought_n we_o must_v not_o commit_v this_o least_o sinful_a thought_n for_o never_o so_o good_a a_o end_n as_o to_o help_v forward_o such_o a_o grace_n 2_o a_o second_o end_n may_v be_v to_o do_v good_a to_o other_o and_o i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a if_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o save_v

the_o philosopher_n say_v that_o the_o most_o eminent_a man_n in_o the_o world_n for_o great_a matter_n be_v melancholy_a because_o they_o be_v serious_a in_o their_o thought_n whereas_o otherman_n

so_o mighty_a and_o strong_a that_o it_o may_v alter_v the_o body_n and_o consume_v the_o very_a spirit_n in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o alter_v the_o temper_n of_o blood_n it_o

trouble_n of_o conscience_n many_o time_n come_v sudden_o as_o lightning_n diff._n 3_o melancholy_a trouble_n be_v exceed_v confuse_v but_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n be_v more_o distinct_a diff._n 4._o the_o more_o melancholy_a any_o have_v the_o less_o able_a be_v they_o to_o bear_v outward_a affliction_n but_o the_o more_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n the_o more_o able_a to_o bear_v outward_a affliction_n diff._n 5._o melancholy_n put_v a_o dulness_n upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n put_v a_o mighty_a activity_n upon_o man_n spirit_n diff._n 6._o trouble_v of_o conscience_n can_v be_v cure_v the_o way_n melancholy_a may_v first_o melancholy_a it_o be_v many_o time_n in_o man_n and_o woman_n where_o there_o be_v most_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o god_n and_o of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o their_o eternal_a estate_n it_o may_v consist_v with_o gross_a ignorance_n many_o melancholy_a people_n be_v most_o ignorant_a and_o sottish_a and_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n can_v never_o come_v without_o some_o new_a light_n of_o god_n dart_v in_o and_o settle_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n it_o come_v always_o with_o some_o enlighten_v work_n of_o the_o spirit_n melancholy_n be_v many_o time_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o darkness_n within_o the_o mind_n be_v dark_a where_o melancholy_a prevail_v and_o many_o time_n gross_a ignorance_n but_o never_o any_o true_a trouble_n of_o conscience_n but_o god_n come_v in_o with_o some_o light_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v trouble_v and_o say_v it_o be_v for_o sin_n i_o put_v this_o to_o you_o what_o have_v god_n discover_v to_o you_o now_o more_o than_o before_o what_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v god_n settle_v upon_o their_o heart_n more_o than_o before_o if_o they_o can_v give_v no_o further_o account_v of_o no_o other_o light_n let_v into_o they_o than_o before_o or_o further_a truth_n let_v in_o upon_o their_o heart_n than_o before_o then_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v suspect_v not_o to_o be_v trouble_n for_o sin_n as_o many_o melancholy_a people_n have_v the_o name_n of_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n and_o they_o have_v fear_n of_o hell_n because_o of_o dark_a thought_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o the_o soul_n except_o it_o be_v with_o convincement_n of_o some_o new_a light_n or_o settle_v some_o truth_n more_o upon_o the_o soul_n than_o before_o second_o melancholliness_n come_v by_o degree_n upon_o man_n and_o woman_n alteration_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o sudden_a thing_n the_o temper_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n body_n can_v sudden_o be_v alter_v to_o any_o extremity_n but_o gradual_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n come_v many_o time_n as_o a_o flash_n of_o lightning_n from_o heaven_n many_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v come_v to_o the_o congregation_n with_o scornful_a spirit_n profane_a wicked_a and_o ungodly_a never_o know_v what_o sin_n mean_v nor_o trouble_v for_o sin_n mean_v and_o god_n have_v meet_v with_o they_o in_o the_o word_n and_o fasten_v some_o sentence_n upon_o their_o heart_n so_o that_o they_o fall_v down_o under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o that_o come_v just_a as_o a_o arrow_n strike_v into_o their_o liver_n and_o they_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o it_o &_o have_v go_v away_o with_o horror_n of_o soul_n and_o therefore_o this_o have_v not_o be_v melancholliness_n certain_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n never_o so_o sudden_o alter_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o work_v when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o bondage_n come_v to_o work_v it_o need_v no_o matter_n before_o no_o preparative_n matter_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o word_n be_v such_o as_o it_o work_v immediate_o without_o any_o preparation_n therefore_o many_o man_n that_o understand_v as_o little_a of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n as_o ever_o any_o do_v in_o their_o life_n and_o yet_o god_n let_v some_o truth_n reach_v they_o
god_n and_o say_v oh_o lord_n my_o god_n i_o be_o ashamed_a and_o blush_v to_o lift_v up_o my_o faee_n to_o thou_o my_o god_n for_o our_o iniquity_n be_v increase_v over_o our_o head_n and_o our_o trespass_n be_v grow_v up_o to_o the_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n there_o mark_v the_o prayer_n ezra_n make_v at_o the_o evening_n sacrifice_v when_o the_o time_n be_v come_v that_o he_o shall_v stir_v and_o seek_v god_n than_o his_o spirit_n be_v mighty_a active_a and_o stir_v though_o he_o be_v astonish_v before_o if_o it_o have_v be_v melancholy_a his_o heart_n will_v have_v sit_v still_o then_o so_o that_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n put_v life_n into_o the_o soul_n in_o prayer_n and_o so_o it_o make_v the_o soul_n active_a in_o meditation_n and_o contemplation_n melancholy_a people_n be_v dull_a and_o heavy_a and_o know_v not_o how_o to_o meditate_v nor_o what_o to_o meditate_v on_o those_o trouble_v in_o conscience_n oh_o what_o quick_a thought_n have_v they_o about_o god_n &_o christ_n and_o eternity_n and_o the_o law_n and_o sin_n and_o their_o soul_n work_v about_o such_o object_n that_o they_o can_v have_v no_o help_n unto_o from_o their_o body_n and_o sense_n and_o yet_o their_o spirit_n be_v raise_v high_a than_o before_o in_o their_o workingsâ—…_n and_o so_o when_o they_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n oh_o how_o active_a be_v their_o spirit_n in_o catch_v of_o the_o word_n and_o at_o every_o truth_n i_o appeal_v to_o you_o that_o be_v trouble_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o your_o spirit_n now_o and_o what_o they_o be_v before_o you_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n before_o you_o come_v to_o the_o congregation_n to_o see_v and_o be_v see_v and_o wonder_v what_o man_n mean_v to_o be_v so_o earnest_a and_o now_o you_o mark_v every_o truâ—h_n and_o catch_v hold_v of_o every_o sentence_n and_o mark_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o understand_v what_o be_v say_v before_o you_o come_v and_o hear_v and_o never_o understand_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n you_o see_v the_o minister_n earnest_n but_o you_o can_v not_o conceive_v what_o the_o man_n mean_v in_o his_o earnestness_n but_o now_o you_o see_v what_o he_o mean_v in_o his_o earnestness_n and_o understand_v what_o weight_n be_v in_o those_o truth_n you_o hear_v reveal_v this_o be_v somewhat_o like_a when_o the_o spirit_n be_v thus_o â—…ed_v and_o act_v in_o prayer_n and_o pear_v and_o in_o conference_n when_o you_o be_v in_o conference_n with_o good_a man_n before_o conference_n about_o good_a thing_n be_v dry_a and_o a_o dull_a thing_n and_o you_o savor_v not_o the_o thing_n confer_v on_o but_o present_o be_v asleep_a but_o now_o if_o you_o come_v where_o there_o be_v conference_n of_o god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o like_a your_o mind_n close_v with_o this_o if_o you_o be_v only_o melancholy_a this_o will_v make_v you_o more_o dull_a and_o heavy_a but_o this_o make_v you_o more_o lively_a and_o active_a therefore_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n last_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n can_v be_v cure_v as_o melancholy_n be_v melancholy_n many_o time_n be_v wear_v out_o with_o time_n and_o physic_n cure_v that_o and_o outward_a comfort_n and_o contentment_n cure_v that_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n be_v a_o wound_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n as_o francis_n spira_n say_v when_o they_o bring_v physician_n and_o think_v it_o trouble_v of_o body_n alas_o poor_a man_n they_o think_v to_o cure_v i_o by_o physic_n ah_o it_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o malady_n and_o must_v have_v another_o manner_n of_o medicine_n than_o plaster_n and_o drug_n to_o cure_v a_o faint_a soul_n and_o spirit_n for_o sin_n conscience_n must_v have_v gospel_n antidote_n therefore_o you_o that_o think_v you_o have_v trouble_v of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n and_o you_o be_v now_o ease_v or_o perhaps_o not_o so_o much_o trouble_v now_o as_o before_o look_v back_o what_o cure_v you_o how_o come_v it_o to_o

you_o you_o have_v such_o trouble_n but_o what_o have_v cure_v you_o many_o time_n one_o can_v give_v no_o account_n but_o this_o sure_a time_n have_v wear_v it_o away_o if_o so_o than_o it_o be_v

and_o may_v be_v now_o your_o affliction_n be_v take_v away_o and_o this_o have_v â—ured_v you_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o trouble_n than_o this_o certain_o you_o know_v not_o what_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n mean_n at_o least_o not_o in_o a_o save_a way_n either_o it_o be_v not_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n at_o all_o or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o cure_v aright_o but_o as_o the_o thorn_n that_o lie_v rot_v and_o rankle_v in_o the_o flesh_n a_o thorn_n when_o it_o first_o get_v in_o put_v one_o to_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n perhaps_o if_o it_o be_v let_v alone_o the_o pain_n

if_o nothing_o have_v cure_v it_o but_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v like_o the_o thorn_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o will_v trouble_v you_o afterward_o there_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o cure_n for_o it_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n god_n can_v do_v to_o comfort_v a_o trouble_a conscience_n it_o must_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n apply_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o must_v be_v a_o plaster_n
