A86423	A treatise containing three things. Viz. [3 braces] 1. A discovery of the unsupportable burthen of sinne, to a heart that is saint-like sensible of sin. 2. The restlesse resolution of a soule to returne to God, who is saint-like sensible of his withdrawings. 3. A discovery of the sweet and unexpected entertainment that wandring hearts meet with in their returnes to God. / Written by Lieutenant Collonel Paul Hobson.	Hobson, Paul.	1653 (1653)	Wing H2276; Thomason E1479_3; ESTC R208731	63,513	154

we_o may_v observe_v thus_o much_o that_o none_o be_v like_a to_o be_v good_a commonwealth_n man_n but_o they_o that_o be_v godly_a and_o honest_a man_n for_o they_o that_o have_v a_o chief_a

close_a of_o this_o remember_v but_o this_o scripture_n prov._n the_o 28._o and_o the_o first_o verse_n the_o wicked_a fly_n when_o no_o man_n pursue_v but_o the_o righteous_a be_v as_o bold_a as_o a_o lyon_n three_o it_o be_v injurious_a to_o a_o man_n as_o he_o be_v a_o master_n of_o a_o family_n and_o that_o thus_o it_o bind_v he_o up_o in_o exhort_v his_o family_n to_o walk_v holy_o when_o he_o know_v that_o his_o family_n know_v that_o he_o himself_o walk_v unho_o or_o can_v he_o reprove_v vice_n when_o he_o himself_o be_v vicious_a no_o he_o can_v do_v it_o if_o it_o be_v it_o be_v very_o cold_a poor_a &_o empty_a the_o guilt_n in_o their_o own_o heart_n produce_v by_o their_o unsaint_n like_o carriage_n do_v exceed_o straiten_v their_o heart_n and_o tie_v their_o hand_n not_o

evil_n will_v judge_v it_o as_o the_o devil_n correct_v sin_n therefore_o in_o the_o close_a of_o this_o let_v all_o that_o desire_v to_o be_v profitable_a in_o their_o family_n in_o suppress_v evil_a and_o encourage_v good_a let_v they_o first_o show_v it_o in_o their_o 7.5_o their_o 1_o tim._n 6.2_o mat._n 7.5_o practice_n before_o they_o first_o show_v it_o in_o their_o power_n but_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o as_o to_o the_o effect_n of_o sin_n though_o there_o be_v many_o more_o but_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o reason_n why_o sin_n to_o a_o saintlike_a sensible_a heart_n be_v a_o insupportable_a burden_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v these_o a_o saint_n see_v that_o sin_n have_v bring_v he_o into_o a_o condition_n so_o bad_a and_o so_o low_a that_o himself_o with_o all_o the_o

to_o uphold_v his_o heart_n and_o enable_v he_o to_o bear_v his_o burden_n without_o go_v to_o christ_n but_o sin_n be_v so_o large_a and_o so_o broad_a and_o so_o full_a of_o weight_n that_o it_o sink_v all_o thing_n under_o on_o this_o side_n of_o heaven_n which_o go_v to_o bear_v it_o and_o this_o a_o saint_n see_v and_o therefore_o sin_n to_o his_o heart_n be_v a_o unsupportable_a burden_n second_o sin_n take_v away_o the_o ground_n of_o patience_n and_o therefore_o unbearable_a and_o that_o it_o do_v why_o because_o though_o there_o be_v promise_n to_o bear_v all_o oppression_n yet_o no_o promise_n to_o bear_v the_o practice_n of_o sin_n therefore_o my_o former_a thus_o that_o condition_n which_o be_v without_o promise_n be_v unbearable_a but_o the_o practice_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o practice_n of_o sin_n be_v without_o promise_n ergo_fw-la 3.29_o ergo_fw-la gal._n 3.29_o the_o three_o reason_n which_o make_v sin_n so_o unreasonable_a and_o so_o unsupportable_a to_o a_o

how_o much_o not_o only_o below_o but_o contrary_a to_o that_o love_n he_o have_v live_v in_o oh_o how_o much_o do_v this_o break_v the_o heart_n and_o wound_v the_o spirit_n i_o leave_v to_o that_o

the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o do_v make_v sin_n to_o be_v unsupportable_a but_o no_o more_o of_o the_o reason_n but_o a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o use_n the_o first_o use_n be_v a_o use_n of_o information_n to_o inform_v we_o of_o the_o miserable_a condition_n of_o those_o who_o make_v light_a of_o sin_n if_o sin_n be_v so_o unsupportable_a to_o one_o that_o be_v make_v alive_a sure_o these_o people_n must_v needs_o be_v dead_a but_o some_o will_v object_v and_o say_v they_o bless_v god_n they_o see_v sin_n and_o they_o conceive_v sin_n be_v cast_v out_o and_o subdue_v in_o they_o in_o this_o there_o may_v be_v a_o very_a great_a mistake_n for_o man_n may_v see_v sin_n and_o yet_o not_o saintlike_o sensible_a of_o sin_n and_o in_o some_o the_o devil_n be_v say_v to_o go_v out_o when_o he_o be_v not_o cast_v out_o according_a to_o that_o scripture_n matth._n the_o 12.43_o 44_o 45._o but_o know_v this_o sin_n be_v only_o go_v out_o and_o not_o conquer_v it_o will_v return_v

find_v in_o the_o like_a case_n the_o first_o question_n be_v what_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o saintlike_a sense_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n a_o man_n may_v have_v and_o be_v nothing_o second_o what_o be_v the_o demonstration_n to_o discover_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o only_o go_v out_o but_o cast_v out_o to_o the_o first_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o saintlike_a sense_n and_o a_o bare_a see_v lie_v in_o these_o thing_n first_o where_o it_o be_v real_o saintlike_a it_o be_v always_o sensible_a of_o that_o most_o which_o be_v by_o man_n see_v least_n 17.9_o

of_o that_o which_o man_n see_v most_o if_o they_o be_v but_o conformable_a to_o what_o be_v without_o they_o be_v never_o trouble_v for_o what_o be_v within_o but_o he_o that_o be_v make_v sensible_a of_o sin_n by_o the_o come_n in_o of_o grace_n he_o be_v so_o sensible_a if_o god_n shall_v cut_v off_o all_o dead_a branch_n without_o yet_o that_o will_v not_o
