against_o it_o because_o it_o find_v it_o offensive_a unto_o god_n and_o thus_o now_o you_o may_v see_v the_o difference_n of_o these_o two_o motion_n in_o these_o several_a estate_n of_o man_n though_o oftentimes_o i_o know_v that_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v flatter_v himself_o in_o the_o sight_n hereof_o as_o though_o he_o have_v find_v some_o goodly_a and_o precious_a jewel_n in_o the_o dunghill_n of_o his_o corrupt_a nature_n when_o as_o in_o very_a deed_n it_o be_v nothing_o so_o chap._n xiiii_o how_o the_o man_n disquiet_v in_o conscience_n shall_v in_o the_o same_o behane_n himself_o now_o as_o these_o thing_n hitherto_o have_v be_v utter_v for_o direction_n so_o some_o thing_n also_o be_v to_o be_v annex_v partly_o out_o of_o that_o which_o go_v before_o and_o partly_o over_o and_o beside_o the_o same_o to_o instruct_v and_o teach_v the_o man_n in_o conscience_n trouble_v and_o disquiet_v with_o the_o weakness_n of_o repentance_n and_o the_o manifold_a imperfection_n which_o he_o find_v in_o himself_o how_o he_o may_v use_v and_o demean_v himself_o in_o view_n and_o meditation_n of_o they_o and_o that_o he_o may_v do_v it_o with_o great_a comfort_n &_o less_o distrust_n first_o therefore_o i_o will_v wish_v and_o advise_v such_o a_o man_n not_o to_o pass_v over_o every_o thing_n light_o in_o a_o slight_a manner_n trial_n not_o rest_n in_o fear_n without_o due_a trial_n without_o a_o due_a and_o deliberate_a consideration_n as_o be_v the_o common_a use_n of_o the_o sorrowful_a soul_n but_o rather_o to_o grow_v to_o a_o thorough_a trial_n and_o examination_n of_o himself_o for_o oftentimes_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o for_o want_v hereof_o there_o arise_v many_o great_a discomfort_n unto_o man_n when_o man_n either_o utter_o refuse_v or_o else_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o light_a cause_n defer_v the_o matter_n do_v not_o search_v so_o deep_o into_o themselves_o as_o they_o shall_v and_o so_o through_o this_o default_n they_o do_v bereave_v themselves_o of_o the_o sight_n and_o knowledge_n of_o those_o good_a motion_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o comfort_n thereof_o come_v which_o other_o man_n do_v enjoy_v and_o in_o this_o point_n it_o fall_v out_o with_o man_n refuse_v or_o delay_v to_o make_v this_o trial_n as_o it_o do_v with_o a_o man_n disease_v with_o a_o sore_n and_o grievous_a imposthume_n who_o if_o he_o do_v look_v only_o upon_o the_o outward_a appearance_n find_v nothing_o but_o such_o matter_n as_o still_o threaten_v grief_n and_o anguish_n but_o if_o he_o pierce_v into_o it_o and_o lance_n it_o feel_v present_a ease_n so_o while_o the_o sorrowful_a soul_n look_v only_o upon_o the_o outward_a appearance_n of_o his_o imperfection_n he_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o matter_n to_o move_v and_o lead_v he_o to_o despair_v but_o if_o he_o pierce_v into_o himself_o and_o into_o the_o secret_a chamber_n of_o his_o heart_n by_o due_a trial_n and_o examination_n of_o himself_o and_o be_v not_o too_o austere_a a_o judge_n over_o himself_o he_o shall_v find_v at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o that_o which_o may_v serve_v unto_o he_o as_o a_o cause_n of_o great_a and_o exceed_a comfort_n second_o i_o will_v not_o have_v he_o in_o this_o his_o tryall-making_a to_o be_v as_o i_o have_v say_v either_o a_o austere_a himself_o not_o to_o be_v too_o austere_a a_o judge_n upon_o himself_o or_o a_o corrupt_a and_o unjust_a judge_n upon_o himself_o ready_a rash_o to_o pronounce_v and_o give_v the_o sentence_n before_o the_o cause_n be_v well_o and_o thorough_o know_v for_o this_o be_v a_o usual_a fault_n and_o too_o too_o common_a among_o man_n and_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o many_o great_a inconvenience_n that_o we_o may_v therefore_o be_v find_v herein_o the_o more_o careful_a to_o prevent_v and_o avoid_v evil_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o well_o consider_v of_o the_o cause_n which_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n with_o the_o circumstance_n thereof_o the_o cause_n be_v a_o trial_n of_o sin_n whereunto_o be_v to_o be_v plead_v either_o guilty_a or_o not_o guilty_a the_o circumstance_n be_v the_o person_n agent_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n accuse_v satan_n and_o sin_n the_o accuser_n and_o in_o this_o the_o conscience_n be_v as_o a_o judge_n the_o silly_a soul_n now_o as_o a_o offender_n in_o woeful_a case_n stand_v at_o the_o bar_n hold_v up_o the_o hand_n to_o be_v try_v and_o find_v either_o guilty_a or_o not_o guilty_a this_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o silly_a soul_n be_v no_o doubt_n the_o principal_a part_n of_o man_n and_o most_o to_o be_v account_v of_o as_o a_o most_o precious_a jewel_n for_o although_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o great_a abundance_n of_o earthly_a treasure_n yet_o be_v it_o nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o to_o gain_v and_o get_v the_o whole_a world_n it_o profit_v not_o at_o all_o to_o a_o man_n 9.25_o luk._n 9.25_o if_o he_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n and_o therefore_o though_o our_o post_a and_o hasty_a judgement_n can_v in_o very_a deed_n prejudice_n or_o forestall_v the_o final_a sentence_n of_o the_o everlasting_a judge_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v post_v over_o and_o pass_v upon_o so_o light_o as_o man_n common_o do_v suppose_v but_o with_o good_a and_o deep_a deliberation_n as_o in_o such_o a_o weighty_a cause_n be_v requisite_a the_o accuser_n as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v satan_n and_o sin_n accuser_n satan_n and_o sin_n his_o accuser_n and_o these_o be_v find_v oftentimes_o not_o only_o false_a euidencer_n but_o also_o envious_a witness_n and_o such_o as_o indeed_o do_v not_o wish_v any_o good_a but_o harm_n yea_o utter_a destruction_n unto_o man_n both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o therefore_o since_o it_o be_v manifest_a to_o be_v true_a which_o i_o have_v say_v of_o they_o we_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n at_o all_o of_o any_o favour_n to_o be_v have_v at_o these_o accusants_n hand_n but_o that_o rather_o it_o be_v most_o assure_o to_o be_v look_v for_o that_o they_o will_v spew_v out_o their_o poison_n against_o the_o true_a servant_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o far_o as_o they_o can_v to_o the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n against_o these_o so_o malicious_a and_o envious_a accuser_n advocate_n i'faith_o his_o advocate_n still_o urge_v the_o heinousness_n of_o thy_o iniquity_n faith_n as_o a_o wise_a and_o prudent_a advocate_n stand_v to_o plead_v the_o cause_n who_o although_o she_o always_o tell_v the_o truth_n and_o speak_v with_o great_a comfort_n yet_o be_v she_o oftentimes_o so_o shoulder_v out_o &_o suppress_v with_o the_o clamorous_a out_o cry_v of_o these_o malicious_a accusant_n that_o she_o can_v hardly_o be_v suffer_v to_o speak_v in_o such_o free_a manner_n as_o she_o will_v and_o if_o she_o be_v suffer_v yet_o she_o be_v so_o interrupt_v that_o her_o speech_n be_v find_v to_o be_v but_o faint_a and_o feeble_a so_o that_o if_o she_o be_v not_o well_o attend_v upon_o she_o can_v scant_o be_v hear_v and_o hereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n give_v care_n most_o to_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o accuser_n and_o not_o attendant_a to_o that_o which_o faith_n plead_v in_o defence_n be_v ready_a to_o give_v sentence_n and_o judgement_n against_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o condemnation_n thereof_o but_o i_o will_v advertise_v every_o man_n in_o this_o session_n of_o trial_n upon_o himself_o still_o to_o have_v a_o care_n that_o he_o be_v not_o overhasty_a to_o pronounce_v the_o doom_n before_o the_o cause_n thorough_o hear_v and_o let_v he_o consider_v with_o himself_o that_o as_o in_o worldly_a cause_n he_o be_v appoint_v as_o a_o arbitrator_n or_o a_o judge_n in_o equity_n ought_v as_o well_o to_o lend_v one_o of_o his_o ear_n to_o the_o defendant_n as_o he_o do_v the_o other_o to_o the_o plantiffe_n and_o so_o not_o to_o hear_v only_o what_o be_v object_v but_o also_o what_o in_o truth_n be_v to_o the_o same_o answer_v so_o in_o this_o case_n also_o of_o the_o soul_n let_v not_o any_o man_n attend_v only_o and_o give_v ear_n to_o that_o with_o these_o accuser_n shall_v object_v against_o the_o soul_n but_o rather_o hearken_v to_o that_o which_o faith_n utter_v in_o defence_n for_o that_o she_o plead_v still_o in_o favorem_fw-la aquavitae_fw-la for_o life_n cause_n and_o herein_o this_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v
