we_o go_v to_o work_v with_o a_o wrong_a key_n which_o will_v not_o open_a but_o if_o god_n hand_n be_v in_o the_o business_n we_o do_v it_o with_o great_a facility_n and_o ease_n which_o god_n have_v

they_o become_v great_a notwithstanding_o all_o opposition_n on_o the_o contrary_a let_v man_n go_v on_o in_o his_o own_o strength_n and_o he_o shall_v labour_v without_o any_o profit_n at_o all_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o many_o time_n we_o see_v a_o concurrency_n of_o all_o cause_n so_o that_o we_o will_v think_v that_o the_o effect_n must_v needs_o follow_v and_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o and_o if_o it_o do_v follow_v yet_o we_o have_v no_o comfort_n in_o it_o first_o because_o god_n make_v a_o insutablenesse_n and_o disproportion_n betwixt_o the_o man_n and_o the_o blessing_n as_o between_o judas_n and_o his_o apostleship_n a_o man_n may_v have_v table_n well_o furnish_v riches_n in_o abundance_n a_o wife_n fit_a for_o he_o and_o yet_o have_v no_o comfort_n in_o they_o because_o god_n put_v a_o secret_a disproportion_n betwixt_o he_o and_o they_o second_o though_o there_o be_v a_o concurrence_n of_o 2_o thing_n yet_o god_n may_v hinder_v the_o effect_n sometime_o for_o good_a and_o sometime_o for_o evil_a as_o elishas_n servant_n be_v ready_a in_o the_o nick_n when_o the_o shunamite_n come_v to_o beg_v her_o possession_n and_o land_n of_o the_o king_n 2._o

not_o so_o future_a spiritual_a and_o ans._n eternal_a thing_n be_v not_o incertain_a but_o th●se_a thing_n which_o we_o enjoy_v here_o be_v those_o thing_n we_o here_o enjoy_v and_o we_o also_o ourselves_o be_v subject_a to_o change_n and_o alteration_n we_o be_v as_o man_n on_o the_o sea_n have_v storm_n aswell_o as_o calm_n wealth_n and_o all_o outward_a blessing_n be_v but_o transitory_a thing_n but_o faith_n and_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v certain_a and_o endure_v for_o ever_o we_o have_v a_o almighty_a and_o unchangeable_a god_n and_o immortal_a incorruptible_a inheritance_n which_o fade_v not_o away_o reserve_v for_o we_o in_o the_o high_a heaven_n in_o temporal_a thing_n who_o know_v what_o shall_v be_v to_o morrow_n in_o they_o thou_o can_v not_o boast_v of_o to_o morrow_n but_o as_o for_o spiritual_a thing_n they_o be_v certain_a they_o have_v no_o ambiguity_n in_o they_o but_o the_o main_a answer_n that_o i_o give_v be_v that_o here_o we_o must_v use_v our_o faith_n consider_v the_o ground_n on_o which_o faith_n rely_v and_o then_o the_o conclusion_n and_o consequence_n that_o arise_v from_o they_o take_v heed_n to_o they_o and_o be_v not_o deceive_v if_o you_o believe_v god_n to_o be_v the_o rewarder_n of_o all_o those_o that_o trust_v in_o he_o as_o you_o say_v he_o be_v why_o rest_v you_o not_o on_o he_o why_o be_v you_o not_o content_v with_o he_o for_o your_o portion_n why_o think_v you_o not_o he_o sufficient_a if_o the_o creature_n be_v god_n then_o follow_v it_o but_o if_o god_n be_v god_n then_o follow_v he_o and_o be_v satisfy_v with_o he_o labour_v therefore_o for_o faith_n unfeigned_a and_o walk_v according_a to_o it_o if_o then_o it_o be_v vain_a and_o sinful_a to_o seek_v help_n and_o comfort_n from_o any_o

divers_a sort_n of_o affection_n so_o there_o be_v divers_a sort_n of_o distemper_n as_o the_o affection_n of_o anger_n have_v its_o distemper_n and_o this_o be_v more_o visible_a when_o anger_n be_v go_v it_o be_v daily_o see_v and_o therefore_o be_v of_o no_o great_a difficulty_n to_o be_v discern_v there_o be_v other_o kind_n of_o affection_n which_o do_v continue_v in_o a_o man_n when_o his_o heart_n be_v habitual_o carry_v to_o a_o inordinate_a lust_n as_o to_o pride_n vainglory_n love_v of_o the_o world_n no_o such_o affection_n can_v be_v well_o discern_v while_o that_o continue_v in_o a_o man_n take_v a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o continue_a affection_n it_o be_v hard_o for_o he_o to_o discern_v it_o because_o it_o do_v with_o its_o continuance_n habitual_o corrupt_v the_o judgement_n and_o blind_a the_o reason_n and_o yet_o you_o be_v to_o labour_v to_o discern_v it_o and_o that_o you_o may_v two_o way_n first_o bring_v your_o affection_n to_o the_o rule_n and_o touchstone_n lust_n second_o that_o you_o may_v better_o know_v their_o aberration_n from_o the_o rule_n consider_v whether_o the_o affection_n have_v any_o stop_n a_o affection_n be_v like_o a_o river_n if_o you_o let_v it_o run_v without_o any_o stop_n or_o resistance_n it_o 1._o run_v quiet_o but_o if_o you_o hinder_v its_o course_n it_o run_v more_o violent_o so_o it_o be_v with_o your_o affection_n if_o you_o do_v not_o observe_v to_o know_v the_o stop_n and_o let_v of_o they_o you_o shall_v not_o observe_v the_o violence_n of_o they_o so_o well_o so_o then_o the_o first_o way_n for_o a_o man_n to_o come_v to_o know_v his_o affection_n be_v to_o observe_v they_o in_o any_o extraordinary_a accident_n if_o any_o loss_n come_v to_o a_o man_n in_o his_o estate_n or_o if_o he_o be_v cross_v in_o his_o sport_n or_o hinder_v of_o his_o purpose_n let_v he_o consider_v how_o he_o do_v bear_v it_o that_o be_v try_v how_o you_o carry_v yourselves_o towards_o it_o this_o will_v be_v a_o good_a mean_n to_o discover_v our_o affection_n when_o they_o come_v to_o these_o stop_n and_o let_v they_o be_v best_a discern_v by_o we_o second_o in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v good_a we_o make_v use_v of_o 2._o other_o eye_n a_o man_n see_v not_o that_o in_o himself_o which_o a_o slander_n by_o do_v he_o be_v free_a from_o the_o affection_n which_o another_o be_v bend_v unto_o and_o therefore_o another_o can_v better_o judge_v of_o it_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sick_a of_o a_o fever_n he_o can_v judge_v aright_o of_o taste_n because_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o sense_n of_o taste_v that_o which_o be_v sweet_a may_v seem_v bitter_a unto_o he_o but_o he_o that_o be_v in_o health_n simile_n can_v judge_v of_o taste_n as_o they_o be_v therefore_o it_o be_v good_a to_o make_v use_n of_o friend_n and_o if_o we_o have_v no_o friend_n it_o be_v wisdom_n in_o this_o case_n to_o make_v use_n of_o a_o enemy_n that_o be_v to_o observe_v what_o inordinatnesse_n have_v be_v in_o they_o and_o what_o have_v happen_v unto_o they_o thereby_o and_o so_o to_o judge_v of_o our_o own_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v commend_v unto_o you_o to_o labour_v to_o see_v your_o affection_n and_o to_o be_v convince_v of_o they_o when_o this_o be_v do_v in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o will_v come_v to_o see_v the_o cause_n of_o inordinate_a affection_n and_o see_v we_o be_v apply_v medicine_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o cause_n of_o inordinate_a affection_n so_o to_o each_o of_o they_o we_o shall_v add_v their_o remedy_n the_o first_o cause_n of_o inordinate_a affection_n be_v misapprehension_n 1._o that_o be_v when_o we_o do_v not_o apprehend_v thing_n aright_o our_o affection_n follow_v our_o apprehension_n as_o we_o see_v in_o a_o sensible_a appetite_n if_o a_o thing_n be_v beautiful_a we_o be_v apt_a to_o love_v it_o and_o like_v of_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v deform_v we_o be_v apt_a to_o hate_v it_o for_o as_o thing_n do_v represent_v

thing_n that_o be_v good_a rectify_v therefore_o the_o apprehension_n and_o heal_v the_o disease_n labour_v to_o have_v the_o judgement_n inform_v and_o you_o shall_v see_v thing_n as_o they_o be_v affection_n as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n one_o sensual_a arise_v from_o fancy_n the_o other_o rational_a arise_v from_o judgement_n all_o that_o we_o can_v say_v for_o the_o former_a affection_n be_v this_o man_n may_v do_v much_o to_o weaken_v those_o affection_n in_o they_o if_o they_o will_v take_v pain_n by_o remove_v the_o object_n that_o be_v by_o withdraw_a the_o fuel_n and_o turn_v the_o attention_n another_o way_n if_o we_o can_v subdue_v any_o sensual_a affection_n in_o we_o let_v we_o be_v subdue_v unto_o it_o and_o be_v as_o any_o dead_a man_n in_o case_n that_o we_o be_v surprise_v by_o such_o vanity_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o hasten_v to_o action_n or_o execution_n all_o that_o in_o this_o case_n a_o man_n can_v do_v be_v as_o a_o pilot_n who_o ship_n be_v in_o great_a danger_n to_o be_v cast_v away_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o great_a tempest_n all_o that_o he_o can_v do_v be_v to_o look_v to_o the_o simil._n safety_n of_o the_o ship_n that_o water_n
