murder_n but_o murder_n not_o adultery_n but_o adultery_n to_o show_v that_o all_o sort_n and_o so_o the_o worst_a sort_n of_o murder_n come_v out_o of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n yea_o self_n murder_n and_o all_o neither_o stand_v our_o heart_n that_o be_v our_o lust_n free_a from_o high_a impiety_n against_o god_n and_o therefore_o those_o blasphemy_n that_o be_v all_o sort_n kind_n and_o degree_n of_o blaspheme_a be_v say_v to_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o heart_n satan_n need_v not_o put_v they_o in_o there_o they_o be_v though_o he_o draw_v they_o not_o out_o thence_o they_o will_v spout_v

whatsoever_o i_o think_v the_o devil_n have_v great_a wrong_n do_v he_o when_o man_n to_o excuse_v themselves_o derive_v their_o sin_n from_o he_o when_o perhaps_o satan_n have_v not_o to_o do_v in_o

than_o these_o if_o all_o as_o truth_n be_v then_o blasphemy_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v out_o of_o the_o motion_n of_o man_n heart_n all_o this_o be_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o

of_o it_o 1._o original_a sin_n be_v equal_a in_o all_o and_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o lust_n have_v it_o in_o ever_o and_o my_o conclusion_n be_v that_o a_o man_n do_v carry_v fire_n in_o his_o

above_o all_o thing_n 9_o yea_o above_o the_o devil_n why_o because_o satan_n do_v not_o so_o know_v the_o thought_n of_o our_o heart_n as_o we_o ourselves_o do_v as_o also_o for_o that_o satan_n

the_o matter_n be_v if_o by_o any_o mean_n we_o can_v have_v comfort_n from_o god_n acquaint_v no_o man_n with_o it_o if_o we_o can_v get_v he_o to_o do_v the_o cure_n in_o ordinary_a matter_n see_v

will_v make_v use_n of_o a_o friend_n be_v well_o enough_o but_o i_o have_v pray_v fast_v and_o wait_v too_o as_o long_o as_o ever_o i_o can_v and_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o come_v than_o we_o must_v but_o till_o then_o till_o we_o have_v try_v the_o utmost_a i_o can_v wish_v man_n to_o secret_a their_o tentation_n from_o the_o world_n god_n will_v not_o take_v himself_o to_o be_v well_o use_v for_o we_o to_o go_v to_o other_o when_o we_o may_v have_v it_o for_o the_o come_n at_o his_o hand_n with_o comfort_n and_o encouragement_n a_o father_n love_v not_o a_o child_n shall_v run_v to_o

sick_a the_o same_o cordial_a or_o sweet_a meat_n send_v by_o a_o servant_n be_v not_o so_o accept_v when_o father_n or_o mother_n bring_v it_o and_o give_v it_o with_o their_o own_o hand_n we_o see_v many_o must_v have_v mother_n give_v it_o else_o they_o will_v not_o take_v it_o so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o it_o can_v but_o be_v best_o welcome_a when_o god_n do_v give_v we_o our_o comfort_n with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o tell_v we_o good_a tiding_n of_o peace_n and_o mercy_n with_o his_o own_o mouth_n and_o then_o again_o we_o do_v not_o conceive_v how_o it_o will_v wound_v out_o heart_n that_o we_o have_v let_v any_o man_n know_v our_o state_n and_o case_n when_o we_o be_v to_o come_v to_o ourselves_o again_o if_o so_o be_v then_o we_o find_v and_o conceive_v that_o all_o may_v have_v be_v well_o and_o the_o cure_n do_v betwixt_o god_n and_o ourselves_o without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o any_o man_n the_o trouble_n that_o way_n many_o time_n wound_n more_o than_o ever_o the_o tentation_n do_v and_o some_o have_v even_o wish_v they_o dead_a and_o fair_o bury_v to_o who_o in_o time_n of_o their_o heaviness_n they_o have_v break_v their_o mind_n and_o therefore_o the_o counsel_n i_o give_v be_v first_o to_o try_v all_o mean_n to_o use_v all_o patience_n to_o watch_v to_o pray_v to_o fast_o to_o wait_v and_o if_o god_n at_o any_o time_n will_v come_v in_o with_o comfort_n let_v he_o do_v all_o and_o have_v all_o the_o praise_n we_o hide_v our_o grief_n from_o all_o the_o world_n in_o great_a inward_a sorrow_n we_o be_v too_o apt_a to_o open_v ourselves_o more_o than_o needs_o therefore_o this_o counsel_n be_v in_o season_n 2._o see_v whether_o we_o can_v cure_v ourselves_o as_o thus_o what_o will_v i_o say_v to_o or_o think_v of_o another_o shall_v he_o come_v to_o i_o with_o my_o sore_a complaint_n the_o same_o say_v we_o to_o ourselves_o and_o see_v what_o that_o will_v do_v 3._o when_o all_o will_v not_o do_v and_o we_o find_v that_o god_n do_v look_v stray_v yet_o and_o we_o can_v hold_v no_o long_o than_o we_o must_v know_v that_o god_n do_v call_v we_o to_o vent_v and_o open_v our_o grief_n to_o some_o one_o or_o other_o now_o the_o grief_n must_v be_v open_v god_n do_v call_v we_o to_o a_o free_a discovery_n of_o ourselves_o to_o another_o and_o without_o we_o do_v break_v open_a the_o matter_n the_o end_n be_v not_o like_a to_o be_v good_a so_o james_n confess_v your_o sin_n one_o to_o another_o and_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o 16._o and_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o heal_a and_o in_o this_o case_n without_o this_o mutual_a and_o reciprocal_a confession_n there_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o heal_a i_o know_v god_n can_v make_v all_o well_o without_o this_o but_o he_o will_v not_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a reason_n why_o we_o find_v ease_n by_o this_o vent_n because_o it_o do_v open_v the_o sore_n and_o make_v it_o as_o it_o be_v run_v and_o so_o there_o come_v some_o ease_n but_o the_o spiritual_a cause_n be_v it_o which_o carry_v it_o and_o it_o be_v because_o god_n will_v have_v acommunion_n of_o saint_n among_o we_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o stray_v one_o to_o another_o and_o he_o know_v that_o by_o cure_v another_o we_o cure_v ourselves_o &_o upon_o that_o it_o be_v that_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o foul_a in_o this_o case_n do_v not_o nor_o shall_v not_o stake_v till_o we_o have_v acquaint_v one_o or_o other_o with_o our_o case_n so_o we_o see_v that_o though_o the_o party_n to_o who_o we_o confess_v say_v no_o more_o to_o we_o than_o we_o know_v before_o yet_o the_o very_a vent_n bring_v some_o ease_n satan_n i_o know_v can_v abide_v this_o for_o few_o ever_o open_a all_o but_o there_o be_v a_o remedy_n and_o his_o tentation_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o therefore_o he_o urge_v hard_o upon_o the_o point_n to_o hinder_v we_o by_o all_o mean_n from_o tell_v any_o body_n what_o say_v he_o it_o will_v all_o the_o country_n over_o he_o will_v tell_v his_o friend_n and_o that_o friend_n another_o friend_n and_o out_o it_o will_v and_o thou_o be_v either_o shame_v or_o undo_v for_o ever_o indeed_o when_o god_n do_v not_o call_v we_o to_o this_o it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o tell_v our_o very_a friend_n for_o though_o he_o be_v our_o friend_n yet_o common_o we_o be_v not_o his_o confident_a friend_n but_o he_o bathe_v some_o other_o and_o he_o must_v know_v it_o under_o benedicite_fw-la and_o then_o he_o be_v sick_a till_o his_o friend_n know_v it_o too_o who_o be_v common_o some_o three_o man_n and_o so_o there_o be_v great_a danger_n that_o it_o will_v abroad_o wherefore_o if_o we_o can_v do_v up_o our_o matter_n by_o tell_v god_n alone_o let_v no_o man_n know_v but_o now_o when_o we_o have_v try_v and_o it_o will_v not_o be_v then_o say_v god_n have_v call_v i_o to_o out_o with_o it_o and_o out_o with_o it_o i_o must_v and_o will_v live_v by_o faith_n they_o that_o god_n will_v make_v they_o keep_v my_o counsel_n or_o if_o they_o do_v not_o yet_o shame_v i_o no_o shame_n i_o will_v follow_v god_n 243._o and_o confess_v i_o will_v what_o ever_o come_v of_o it_o and_o here_o we_o must_v know_v that_o when_o we_o find_v a_o great_a disposition_n in_o we_o to_o keep_v it_o from_o all_o the_o world_n that_o then_o satan_n mean_v we_o some_o great_a danger_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v fill_v our_o head_n with_o a_o thousand_o proclamation_n of_o shame_n and_o danger_n and_o all_o to_o make_v we_o keep_v all_o close_a to_o our_o own_o undo_n and_o ruin_n say_v then_o i_o know_v by_o this_o that_o great_a hurt_n come_v
