glory_n while_o we_o look_v not_o at_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v but_o at_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v be_v temporal_a but_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v be_v eternal_a 2._o when_o the_o heart_n fail_v when_o the_o spirit_n be_v toss_v and_o ready_a to_o be_v overwhelm_v christian_n in_o this_o case_n will_v grant_v that_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n be_v abundant_o able_a to_o bear_v up_o the_o heart_n in_o soul-trouble_a but_o this_o be_v the_o trouble_n of_o their_o soul_n they_o neither_o do_v and_o they_o fear_v they_o never_o shall_v enjoy_v god_n to_o those_o that_o make_v this_o mournful_a complaint_n i_o have_v one_o general_a request_n before_o i_o undertake_v their_o particular_a comfort_n that_o be_v that_o they_o will_v observe_v from_o this_o very_a text_n that_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n may_v consist_v with_o soul-trouble_a grant_v but_o this_o and_o i_o hope_v though_o thou_o be_v a_o tremble_a christian_a full_a of_o spiritual_a jealousy_n yet_o thou_o shall_v see_v ere_o we_o part_v that_o thou_o may_v and_o that_o thou_o do_v enjoy_v god_n in_o thy_o soul-trouble_a suppose_v i_o shall_v

of_o grace_n and_o that_o i_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o by_o way_n of_o concession_n it_o be_v very_o desirable_a to_o have_v abundance_n of_o grace_n to_o be_v strong_a man_n in_o christ_n able_a to_o digest_v strong_a meat_n that_o be_v the_o more_o secret_a mystery_n of_o grace_n but_o 2._o bare_a weakness_n never_o yet_o make_v any_o breach_n between_o god_n and_o

corruption_n as_o many_o time_n i_o be_o afraid_a be_v inconsistent_a with_o grace_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v sad_o expect_v to_o be_v set_v at_o a_o eternal_a distance_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v also_o 1._o by_o way_n of_o concession_n it_o be_v a_o just_a and_o a_o sad_a cause_n of_o complaint_n to_o have_v conscience_n fly_v in_o thy_o face_n because_o of_o sin_n our_o sin_n be_v call_v our_o debt_n we_o may_v easy_o run_v into_o debt_n but_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o get_v out_o we_o may_v easy_o fall_v into_o sin_n but_o not_o so_o easy_o recover_v our_o stand_n but_o 2._o if_o sin_n be_v discern_v it_o be_v thereby_o weaken_v a_o penitential_a eye_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o fascination_n it_o be_v in_o sin_n as_o in_o treason_n if_o a_o treason_n be_v discover_v before_o it_o
