out_o of_o his_o experience_n begin_v many_o psalm_n with_o prayer_n and_o end_v they_o with_o thanksgiving_n and_o the_o bless_a virgin_n my_o soul_n do_v magnify_v the_o lord_n and_o my_o spirit_n have_v rejoice_v in_o god_n my_o saviour_n and_o saint_n paul_n be_v exemplum_fw-la exemplorum_fw-la all_o his_o speech_n of_o himself_o be_v but_o a_o comment_n on_o this_o text_n and_o a_o large_a exposition_n of_o this_o point_n in_o hand_n he_o confess_v it_o our_o rejoice_n be_v this_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o conscience_n and_o in_o the_o 2._o cor._n 7.4_o i_o overflow_v exceed_o i_o abound_v with_o all_o joy_n amid_o our_o tribulation_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o general_a condition_n of_o all_o god_n servant_n saint_n peter_n tell_v we_o where_o he_o say_v that_o though_o they_o see_v he_o not_o yet_o believe_v rejoice_v with_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a this_o may_v easy_o be_v prove_v by_o show_v that_o such_o man_n have_v all_o the_o true_a ground_n &_o foundation_n of_o joy_n and_o contentment_n as_o first_o that_o they_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n in_o christ_n and_o second_o adoption_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o third_o place_n have_v â—ight_a and_o title_n to_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v horace_n counsel_n quaedam_fw-la dicenda_fw-la remittere_fw-la not_o to_o amass_o and_o heap_n up_o all_o that_o may_v be_v say_v to_o any_o one_o point_n and_o therefore_o we_o come_v to_o the_o last_o part_n namely_o the_o fit_a and_o apply_v of_o this_o resemblance_n here_o urge_v by_o solomon_n wherein_o follow_v the_o former_a method_n i_o will_v first_o present_v to_o your_o consideration_n how_o the_o wicked_a conscience_n be_v no_o feast_n or_o if_o one_o not_o a_o continual_a one_o and_o next_o that_o the_o good_a conscience_n be_v one_o and_o second_o a_o continual_a one_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v a_o continual_a feast_n first_o wicked_a man_n have_v no_o feast_n for_o such_o man_n have_v lose_v all_o taste_n of_o good_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n they_o do_v not_o relish_v or_o savour_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n as_o we_o see_v swine_n neglect_v pasture_n and_o eat_v draff_n so_o these_o man_n banquet_n but_o it_o be_v with_o poison_n like_o tereus_n feast_n or_o rather_o it_o be_v scilicornium_n a_o funeral_n feast_n for_o such_o a_o man_n as_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o a_o widow_n that_o live_v in_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n be_v dead_a while_o he_o live_v their_o food_n breed_v only_a wind_n and_o froth_n and_o inflation_n no_o perfect_a or_o pure_a blood_n so_o that_o we_o mistake_v judge_v such_o a_o man_n full_a because_o rich_a it_o be_v true_a he_o have_v enough_o his_o bellyful_n but_o it_o be_v with_o wind_n eccles_n 5.16_o or_o else_o their_o eat_n procure_v a_o corrosion_n and_o convulsion_n privy_a gripe_n and_o qualm_n stitch_n and_o ache_n worm_n and_o distortion_n of_o the_o stotion_n of_o the_o stomach_n that_o they_o can_v sleep_v or_o take_v rest_n upon_o it_o the_o satiety_n of_o the_o rich_a will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o sleep_v or_o if_o he_o do_v he_o shall_v spew_v soon_o after_o it_o as_o job_n say_v he_o have_v devour_v substance_n and_o shall_v vomit_v it_o for_o god_n shall_v draw_v it_o out_o of_o his_o belly_n job._n 20._o or_o if_o it_o settle_v and_o stay_v with_o he_o than_o it_o inflame_v

last_o as_o poison_v if_o it_o kill_v not_o present_o break_v out_o in_o tumour_n and_o bile_n so_o his_o wickedness_n do_v occasion_n disease_n and_o his_o bone_n be_v full_a of_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o youth_n job_n 20.11_o and_o as_o he_o go_v on_o in_o vers_fw-la 12._o though_o wickedness_n be_v sweet_a in_o his_o mouth_n and_o though_o he_o hide_v it_o under_o his_o tongue_n and_o keep_v

we_o they_o drink_v iniquity_n like_o water_n job_n 15.16_o and_o their_o wine_n the_o scripture_n say_v be_v the_o wine_n of_o astonishment_n or_o else_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o compound_a stuff_n that_o david_n speak_v of_o ps_n 75.8_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v a_o cup_n &_o it_o be_v red_a wine_n it_o be_v full_o mix_v and_o he_o power_v out_o of_o the_o same_o sure_o all_o the_o wicked_a of_o the_o earth_n shall_v wring_v out_o &_o drink_v thereof_o and_o in_o psalm_n 11._o he_o describe_v their_o burn_a wine_n which_o seem_v the_o very_a same_o that_o the_o devil_n drink_v in_o hell_n god_n will_v rain_v snare_n fire_n and_o brimstone_n and_o a_o horrible_a tempest_n this_o shall_v be_v the_o portion_n of_o their_o cup_n as_o for_o the_o company_n of_o these_o man_n what_o can_v it_o be_v but_o a_o noise_n and_o set_v of_o devil_n for_o satan_n return_v say_v our_o saviour_n return_v and_o find_v such_o man_n heart_n like_o house_n sweep_v and_o

profane_a and_o lewd_a man_n will_v fancy_v and_o conceit_n themselves_o the_o only_a flourish_a people_n upon_o earth_n when_o we_o see_v that_o their_o very_a banquet_a stuff_n be_v but_o gall_n &_o poison_n their_o drink_n vengeance_n and_o their_o company_n devil_n but_o let_v we_o grant_v they_o that_o their_o seem_a mirth_n and_o jollity_n they_o live_v in_o may_v be_v term_v a_o feast_n which_o be_v their_o portion_n upon_o earth_n &_o all_o they_o can_v look_v for_o yet_o alas_o it_o be_v not_o a_o continual_a feast_n but_o exceed_a fleet_n and_o momentanie_n even_o in_o laughter_n the_o heart_n be_v sorrowful_a at_o that_o very_a instant_n they_o banquet_z as_o thief_n in_o a_o cave_n or_o a_o wood_n always_o in_o fear_n esay_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o harp_n the_o viol_n the_o

mouth_n wâ—de_n and_o their_o pomp_n and_o he_o that_o rejoice_v shall_v descend_v into_o it_o so_o soon_o they_o be_v go_v they_o break_v off_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o meal_n and_o sink_v into_o hell_n nor_o can_v the_o damn_a soul_n think_v to_o take_v it_o out_o when_o he_o come_v there_o indeed_o as_o he_o in_o his_o life_n time_n make_v a_o feast_n of_o his_o soul_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o dress_v it_o for_o he_o to_o make_v his_o helship_n merry_a for_o as_o the_o good_a angel_n rejoice_v at_o a_o sinner_n conversion_n so_o we_o must_v think_v the_o devil_n mirth_n be_v his_o rebellion_n so_o now_o satan_n to_o be_v quiet_a with_o he_o prepare_v he_o a_o feast_n a_o black_a banquet_n only_o two_o dish_n weep_v serve_v in_o for_o the_o first_o course_n and_o gnash_v of_o tooth_n for_o the_o second_o it_o be_v true_a it_o shall_v be_v a_o continual_a feast_n but_o worse_a to_o he_o then_o any_o feast_n for_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o receyve_v pleasure_n in_o it_o that_o he_o shall_v howl_v &_o roar_v out_o with_o dives_fw-la for_o some_o drink_n to_o his_o hot_a meat_n even_o for_o a_o drop_n of_o water_n to_o cool_v his_o tongue_n and_o this_o for_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o comparison_n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o goodman_n have_v in_o his_o conscience_n a_o feast_n and_o not_o so_o only_o but_o a_o continual_a feast_n first_o he_o have_v a_o feast_n for_o a_o godly_a man_n like_o that_o ungodly_a one_o in_o the_o gospel_n fare_v delicious_o every_o day_n keep_v a_o spiritual_a christmas_n always_o drink_v deep_a in_o the_o wine-cellar_n as_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o spouse_n in_o canticle_n 2.4.5_o he_o bring_v i_o into_o the_o wine-cellar_n and_o love_n be_v his_o banner_n over_o i_o

their_o good_a work_n for_o it_o be_v a_o joy_n to_o the_o just_a to_o do_v justice_n prou._n 21.15_o david_n find_v it_o so_o psal_n 122.1_o and_o in_o psalm_n 84._o my_o soul_n belong_v yea_o and_o
