shall_v seek_v for_o i_o and_o that_o grace_n which_o be_v offer_v you_o but_o you_o shall_v not_o find_v i_o ezek._n 24._o 13._o because_o i_o will_v have_v purge_v you_o and_o thou_o be_v not_o purge_v thou_o shall_v not_o be_v purge_v from_o thy_o filthiness_n any_o more_o till_o i_o have_v cause_v my_o fury_n to_o rest_n upon_o thou_o even_o so_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o every_o soul_n to_o who_o he_o offer_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n because_o i_o will_v have_v convert_v thou_o and_o pluck_v thou_o from_o thy_o sin_n but_o thou_o will_v not_o i_o will_v have_v purge_v thou_o from_o thy_o drunkenness_n and_o whoredom_n and_o from_o the_o foul_a filthiness_n of_o your_o corrupt_a heart_n but_o you_o have_v neglect_v and_o contemn_v all_o those_o mean_n of_o purge_v whereby_o i_o will_v have_v purge_v you_o therefore_o now_o mark_v god_n final_a sentence_n upon_o thy_o destruction_n thou_o shall_v never_o be_v purge_v thou_o shall_v cry_v and_o call_v for_o mercy_n yet_o thou_o shall_v never_o have_v it_o mark_v it_o now_o you_o that_o have_v grace_v preach_v unto_o you_o and_o will_v not_o take_v it_o now_o accept_v it_o god_n will_v not_o let_v you_o have_v it_o hereafter_o if_o you_o will_v never_o so_o fain_o but_o they_o that_o neglect_v grace_n now_o grace_n will_v neglect_v they_o hereafter_o object_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o get_v our_o heart_n true_o to_o desire_v grace_n answ_n i_o answer_v first_o learn_v to_o know_v it_o grace_n be_v such_o a_o admirable_a thing_n that_o if_o man_n know_v it_o they_o can_v not_o but_o desire_v it_o all_o man_n desire_v good_a though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o seem_a good_a this_o be_v that_o reason_n that_o drunkard_n desire_v drunkenness_n and_o the_o angry_a man_n revenge_v because_o they_o conceive_v a_o good_a in_o it_o but_o if_o the_o drunkard_n do_v but_o know_v and_o consider_v that_o his_o drunkenness_n will_v lead_v he_o to_o hell_n if_o the_o angry_a man_n know_v that_o the_o end_n of_o his_o lust_n be_v damnation_n they_o can_v have_v but_o a_o small_a if_o any_o desire_v to_o they_o or_o comfort_n in_o they_o but_o if_o you_o will_v desire_v grace_n then_o labour_v to_o know_v it_o teach_v i_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o statute_n and_o i_o shall_v keep_v they_o say_v the_o prophet_n psal._n 119._o 33._o psal._n 9_o 10._o they_o that_o know_v thy_o name_n will_v put_v their_o trust_n in_o thou_o that_o man_n that_o know_v and_o be_v acquaint_v with_o god_n that_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v patient_a humble_a holy_a lowly_a meek_a and_o despise_v for_o christ_n sake_n that_o man_n will_v put_v his_o trust_n in_o god_n and_o seek_v after_o such_o excellent_a ornament_n let_v come_v what_o will_v come_v of_o it_o that_o which_o all_o man_n know_v to_o be_v good_a all_o man_n desire_v and_o therefore_o few_o man_n desire_v the_o true_a good_a because_o few_o man_n know_v it_o knowledge_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v put_v for_o salvation_n a_o man_n 7._o can_v have_v his_o sin_n pardon_v his_o heart_n subdue_v and_o all_o his_o corruption_n mortify_v but_o he_o must_v know_v what_o it_o be_v god_n never_o know_v any_o but_o they_o know_v it_o themselves_o those_o that_o brag_v of_o their_o knowledge_n and_o yet_o live_v in_o their_o sin_n know_v not_o god_n they_o have_v perhaps_o a_o intellectual_a and_o carnal_a knowledge_n of_o he_o but_o no_o save_a knowledge_n of_o he_o 1_o pet._n 2._o 9_o therefore_o one_o say_v if_o all_o the_o learning_n in_o the_o world_n be_v put_v together_o in_o one_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o in_o the_o most_o ignorant_a child_n of_o god_n though_o never_o so_o dull_a and_o weak_a in_o apprehension_n of_o other_o thing_n yet_o if_o he_o be_v true_o acquaint_v with_o christ_n he_o have_v more_o knowledge_n than_o all_o the_o doctor_n in_o the_o world_n have_v by_o their_o human_a learning_n answ_n 2_o the_o taste_n of_o grace_n be_v sweet_a and_o dainty_a that_o if_o we_o can_v but_o once_o taste_v it_o our_o heart_n will_v ever_o water_v after_o it_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v little_a lust_n to_o the_o contrary_a evil_n luke_n 5._o 39_o thou_o that_o taste_v of_o pride_n of_o covetousness_n of_o worldly-mindedness_n thou_o taste_v of_o very_a rank_n poison_n but_o if_o once_o thou_o taste_v of_o the_o pure_a liquor_n and_o of_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o faith_n repentance_n holiness_n purity_n and_o the_o like_a thing_n of_o god_n thou_o will_v never_o desire_v the_o other_o again_o the_o prophet_n david_n know_v not_o how_o to_o bring_v man_n to_o trust_v in_o god_n but_o by_o wish_v they_o to_o taste_v how_o good_a the_o lord_n be_v psal._n 34._o 8._o have_v there_o any_o man_n have_v the_o least_o relish_n of_o grace_n though_o now_o they_o mock_v at_o it_o and_o reproach_v it_o and_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o as_o much_o before_o the_o israelite_n taste_v of_o the_o manna_n they_o cry_v out_o what_o manner_n of_o meat_n be_v this_o here_o be_v stuff_n indeed_o but_o when_o once_o they_o have_v taste_v of_o it_o they_o adventure_v the_o breach_n of_o the_o sabbath_n to_o get_v it_o so_o man_n cry_v out_o at_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n what_o preach_v be_v this_o here_o be_v thunder_a indeed_o of_o wrath_n and_o revenge_n hell_n and_o damnation_n and_o the_o like_a what_o can_v we_o not_o go_v to_o heaven_n without_o all_o this_o pother_n and_o stir_v alas_o man_n know_v not_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n man_n superficial_o know_v god_n and_o his_o way_n like_o a_o fool_n hear_v of_o a_o lemmon_n taste_v the_o pill_n and_o because_o the_o pill_n be_v bitter_a he_o cast_v away_o the_o lemon_n so_o thou_o hear_v of_o this_o and_o that_o commandment_n to_o mortify_v thy_o lust_n to_o kill_v thy_o corruption_n or_o else_o of_o open_v hell_n for_o thou_o thy_o lip_n stick_v in_o these_o bitter_a pill_n and_o therefore_o thou_o reject_v the_o save_a sweetness_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o i_o have_v give_v over_o my_o drunkenness_n my_o swear_n and_o the_o like_a will_v some_o say_v yet_o i_o feel_v no_o such_o sweetness_n by_o it_o they_o say_v it_o be_v a_o glorious_a thing_n to_o be_v a_o professor_n to_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o but_o i_o see_v no_o such_o matter_n thou_o fool_n thou_o taste_v but_o the_o pare_n and_o the_o rind_n only_o of_o religion_n and_o do_v thou_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o sweetness_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o it_o know_v thou_o whatsoever_o thou_o conceive_v yet_o god_n people_n that_o have_v taste_v the_o sweetness_n of_o it_o account_v it_o otherwise_o so_o do_v david_n psa._n 119._o 103._o how_o sweet_a be_v thy_o word_n unto_o my_o taste_n yea_o sweet_a than_o honey_n to_o my_o mouth_n answ_n 2_o if_o you_o will_v desire_v grace_n then_o purge_v out_o the_o ill_a humour_n of_o sin_n out_o of_o thy_o soul_n suppose_v a_o man_n have_v attain_v to_o some_o knowledge_n of_o grace_n and_o taste_v of_o it_o yet_o if_o sin_n be_v not_o purge_v out_o it_o will_v dead_a his_o desire_n barzillay_n refuse_v to_o sit_v at_o the_o king_n table_n and_o eat_v of_o the_o king_n meat_n because_o of_o the_o evil_a humour_n of_o his_o body_n so_o so_o long_o as_o the_o old_a man_n be_v not_o cast_v off_o though_o the_o soul_n stand_v in_o never_o so_o much_o need_n of_o grace_n though_o it_o see_v and_o judge_v of_o itself_o damn_v without_o it_o yet_o sin_n put_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o taste_n it_o can_v desire_v it_o sin_n be_v like_o grease_n to_o the_o horse_n tooth_n it_o take_v away_o his_o stomach_n though_o there_o be_v never_o so_o much_o meat_n in_o the_o rack_n he_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o eat_v wherefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v man_n to_o desire_v the_o sincere_a milk_n of_o the_o word_n 1_o pet._n 2._o 2._o he_o first_o exhort_v they_o to_o lay_v aside_o all_o malice_n guile_n hypocrisy_n envy_n and_o evil_a speak_v for_o except_v a_o man_n first_o lie_v aside_o these_o corruption_n he_o can_v desire_v grace_n for_o thereby_o the_o devil_n grease_v thy_o tooth_n and_o take_v away_o the_o edge_n of_o thy_o soul_n from_o the_o desire_n of_o grace_n when_o a_o man_n desire_v to_o sleep_v he_o desire_v to_o hear_v no_o noise_n so_o when_o a_o man_n do_v desire_v to_o sleep_v in_o sin_n he_o desire_v not_o to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o grace_n disturb_v he_o and_o the_o devil_n like_o a_o diligent_a chamberlain_n draw_v the_o curtain_n of_o darkness_n and_o security_n about_o he_o david_n profess_v to_o god_n psal._n 119._o 18._o that_o his_o eye_n fail_v for_o his_o promise_n when_o will_v thou_o comfort_v i_o he_o have_v no_o comfort_n in_o his_o crown_n or_o kingdom_n
