trouble_n of_o conscience_n many_o time_n come_v sudden_o as_o lightning_n diff._n 3_o melancholy_a trouble_n be_v exceed_v confuse_v but_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n be_v more_o distinct_a diff._n 4._o the_o more_o melancholy_a any_o have_v the_o less_o able_a be_v they_o to_o bear_v outward_a affliction_n but_o the_o more_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n the_o more_o able_a to_o bear_v outward_a affliction_n diff._n 5._o melancholy_n put_v a_o dulness_n upon_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n put_v a_o mighty_a activity_n upon_o man_n spirit_n diff._n 6._o trouble_v of_o conscience_n can_v be_v cure_v the_o way_n melancholy_a may_v first_o melancholy_a it_o be_v many_o time_n in_o man_n and_o woman_n where_o there_o be_v most_o gross_a ignorance_n of_o god_n and_o of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o their_o eternal_a estate_n it_o may_v consist_v with_o gross_a ignorance_n many_o melancholy_a people_n be_v most_o ignorant_a and_o sottish_a and_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n can_v never_o come_v without_o some_o new_a light_n of_o god_n dart_v in_o and_o settle_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n it_o come_v always_o with_o some_o enlighten_v work_n of_o the_o spirit_n melancholy_n be_v many_o time_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o darkness_n within_o the_o mind_n be_v dark_a where_o melancholy_a prevail_v and_o many_o time_n gross_a ignorance_n but_o never_o any_o true_a trouble_n of_o conscience_n but_o god_n come_v in_o with_o some_o light_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v trouble_v and_o say_v it_o be_v for_o sin_n i_o put_v this_o to_o you_o what_o have_v god_n discover_v to_o you_o now_o more_o than_o before_o what_o truth_n of_o god_n have_v god_n settle_v upon_o their_o heart_n more_o than_o before_o if_o they_o can_v give_v no_o further_o account_v of_o no_o other_o light_n let_v into_o they_o than_o before_o or_o further_a truth_n let_v in_o upon_o their_o heart_n than_o before_o then_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v suspect_v not_o to_o be_v trouble_n for_o sin_n as_o many_o melancholy_a people_n have_v the_o name_n of_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n and_o they_o have_v fear_n of_o hell_n because_o of_o dark_a thought_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n upon_o the_o soul_n except_o it_o be_v with_o convincement_n of_o some_o new_a light_n or_o settle_v some_o truth_n more_o upon_o the_o soul_n than_o before_o second_o melancholliness_n come_v by_o degree_n upon_o man_n and_o woman_n alteration_n of_o the_o body_n be_v not_o sudden_a thing_n the_o temper_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n body_n can_v sudden_o be_v alter_v to_o any_o extremity_n but_o gradual_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n come_v many_o time_n as_o a_o flash_n of_o lightning_n from_o heaven_n many_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v come_v to_o the_o congregation_n with_o scornful_a spirit_n profane_a wicked_a and_o ungodly_a never_o know_v what_o sin_n mean_v nor_o trouble_v for_o sin_n mean_v and_o god_n have_v meet_v with_o they_o in_o the_o word_n and_o fasten_v some_o sentence_n upon_o their_o heart_n so_o that_o they_o fall_v down_o under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o that_o come_v just_a as_o a_o arrow_n strike_v into_o their_o liver_n and_o they_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o it_o &_o have_v go_v away_o with_o horror_n of_o soul_n and_o therefore_o this_o have_v not_o be_v melancholliness_n certain_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n never_o so_o sudden_o alter_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o work_v when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o bondage_n come_v to_o work_v it_o need_v no_o matter_n before_o no_o preparative_n matter_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o word_n be_v such_o as_o it_o work_v immediate_o without_o any_o preparation_n therefore_o many_o man_n that_o understand_v as_o little_a of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n as_o ever_o any_o do_v in_o their_o life_n and_o yet_o god_n let_v some_o truth_n reach_v they_o
you_o have_v wrong_v be_v dead_a you_o must_v not_o keep_v it_o if_o they_o have_v any_o heir_n or_o executor_n suppose_v you_o know_v not_o they_o than_o you_o must_v give_v it_o to_o the_o poor_a you_o must_v be_v rid_v of_o it_o so_o much_o stain_n and_o evil_n be_v in_o sin_n that_o any_o thing_n that_o come_v by_o way_n of_o sin_n must_v not_o be_v keep_v and_o this_o be_v not_o so_o

no_o body_n can_v charge_v he_o with_o it_o that_o he_o can_v not_o sleep_v or_o rest_n and_o be_v quiet_a but_o rise_v with_o amazement_n and_o trouble_n in_o the_o night_n and_o run_v to_o the_o

that_o he_o must_v not_o keep_v that_o which_o be_v get_v by_o sin_n if_o he_o can_v see_v sin_n so_o sinful_a that_o what_o be_v get_v by_o sin_n must_v be_v cast_v out_o sure_o you_o christian_n must_v be_v so_o wise_a oh_o consider_v this_o you_o be_v a_o multitude_n come_v together_o be_v there_o never_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n conscience_n now_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n that_o

and_o if_o we_o can_v grow_v to_o a_o infinite_a hatred_n therefore_o there_o must_v be_v some_o kind_n of_o infinite_a evil_n in_o it_o other_o thing_n be_v not_o so_o we_o may_v set_v bound_n to_o

other_o thing_n do_v it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o the_o heathen_a seneca_n it_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n to_o have_v sin_n so_o it_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o virtue_n to_o have_v they_o

that_o sin_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n of_o evil_n in_o it_o nay_o which_o i_o think_v to_o have_v finish_v here_o but_o can_v now_o come_v to_o it_o but_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o

to_o be_v conformable_a to_o christ_n by_o affliction_n or_o suffering_n it_o be_v true_a it_o may_v be_v many_o account_n all_o the_o world_n to_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v conformable_a to_o christ_n in_o glory_n in_o heaven_n but_o here_o be_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v this_o in_o the_o conclusion_n and_o carry_v it_o away_o that_o a_o gracious_a heart_n account_v all_o the_o world_n dung_n and_o dross_n to_o be_v conformable_a to_o jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o suffering_n there_o be_v so_o much_o excellency_n and_o glory_n in_o the_o suffering_n of_o
