that_o be_v faith_n and_o prayer_n we_o must_v believe_v only_o in_o god_n and_o pray_v only_o to_o god_n but_o christ_n be_v the_o object_n of_o both_o these_o here_o he_o be_v set_v forth_o as_o

in_o a_o word_n as_o it_o carry_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o itself_o unto_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o unto_o christ_n unite_n and_o make_v we_o one_o with_o he_o and_o so_o set_v the_o soul_n above_o

man_n in_o the_o church_n some_o that_o usurp_v a_o peace_n and_o exemption_n from_o trouble_n as_o if_o joy_n and_o comfort_n be_v their_o portion_n satan_n be_v wise_a enough_o not_o to_o trouble_v

the_o only_a way_n for_o such_o be_v to_o be_v trouble_v that_o their_o trouble_n may_v be_v a_o foundation_n of_o their_o comfort_n for_o to_o such_o as_o live_v in_o their_o sin_n against_o conscience_n apparent_o so_o that_o every_o man_n may_v see_v it_o and_o yet_o be_v not_o trouble_v they_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o comfort_n nothing_o but_o woe_n and_o misery_n belong_v to_o they_o indeed_o christ_n come_v to_o save_v sinner_n but_o it_o be_v brokenhearted_a sinner_n penitent_a sinner_n that_o be_v weary_a and_o heavy_a lade_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o though_o these_o speak_v peace_n to_o themselves_o yet_o we_o dare_v not_o speak_v any_o comfort_n to_o they_o from_o christ_n as_o jehu_n say_v to_o joram_n what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v with_o peace_n as_o long_o as_o the_o whoredom_n of_o thy_o mother_n lezebel_n be_v so_o many_o do_v thou_o talk_v of_o peace_n as_o long_o as_o thou_o be_v a_o sweater_n a_o profane_a liver_n a_o malicious_a person_n against_o all_o that_o be_v true_o good_a what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v with_o peace_n now_o in_o the_o visible_a church_n there_o be_v another_o sort_n that_o satan_n labour_v to_o trouble_v since_o he_o can_v keep_v they_o in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n but_o they_o break_v from_o he_o christ_n pull_v they_o out_o of_o satan_n kingdom_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o ordinance_n and_o holy_a spirit_n he_o labour_v to_o trouble_v they_o in_o their_o peace_n all_o he_o can_v because_o they_o be_v in_o the_o world_n above_o the_o world_n he_o enjoy_v their_o condition_n that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v that_o paradise_n which_o he_o leave_v the_o comfort_n that_o he_o once_o have_v and_o therefore_o he_o labour_v to_o disturb_v they_o in_o their_o comfort_n the_o estate_n of_o such_o be_v mix_v here_o in_o this_o world_n they_o have_v that_o in_o they_o and_o without_o they_o which_o will_v always_o be_v a_o cause_n and_o occasion_n of_o trouble_n they_o have_v corruption_n in_o they_o not_o altogether_o subdue_v and_o they_o have_v without_o they_o satan_n take_v advantage_n against_o they_o and_o the_o world_n oppose_v they_o these_o although_o they_o have_v something_o in_o they_o that_o must_v be_v subdue_v yet_o something_o also_o that_o must_v be_v cherish_v and_o strengthen_v and_o therefore_o these_o be_v the_o person_n to_o who_o comfort_n proper_o belong_v in_o heaven_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o need_n of_o be_v comfort_v for_o there_o our_o peace_n shall_v be_v to_o have_v no_o enemy_n at_o all_o our_o peace_n here_o be_v to_o have_v comfort_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o discomfort_n and_o a_o heart_n enlarge_v in_o trouble_n he_o speak_v this_o to_o they_o here_o who_o be_v believer_n already_o you_o believe_v in_o god_n who_o he_o know_v shall_v not_o be_v trouble_v let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v so_o that_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v subject_n capable_a of_o comfort_n we_o must_v be_v such_o as_o by_o faith_n be_v one_o with_o christ_n and_o so_o reconcile_v to_o god_n all_o motion_n end_v in_o rest_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o soul_n end_v in_o god_n the_o centre_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o before_o the_o soul_n can_v settle_v itself_o it_o must_v be_v bring_v to_o god_n through_o christ_n that_o must_v be_v lay_v as_o a_o ground_n now_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a malady_n that_o trouble_v we_o and_o there_o must_v be_v a_o threefold_a peace_n and_o ground_n of_o comfort_n against_o they_o first_o it_o be_v a_o trouble_n to_o the_o soul_n when_o once_o it_o be_v awaken_v that_o god_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o ill_a term_n when_o the_o soul_n look_v upon_o god_n as_o angry_a and_o be_v displease_v with_o it_o again_o the_o soul_n be_v trouble_v when_o it_o look_v upon_o itself_o and_o see_v nothing_o but_o turmoil_n and_o sedition_n there_o three_o when_o it_o look_v upon_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n and_o accident_n here_o below_o it_o be_v full_a of_o confusion_n for_o the_o present_a and_o it_o be_v full_a of_o fear_n for_o time_n to_o come_v that_o thing_n will_v be_v worse_o and_o worse_o thus_o the_o soul_n while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v trouble_v about_o its_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o with_o its_o self_n and_o about_o this_o evil_a world_n now_o before_o the_o soul_n can_v

bodily_a or_o spiritual_o their_o error_n be_v in_o tie_v all_o comfort_n to_o a_o bodily_a a_o corporal_a presence_n as_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o sun_n to_o come_v down_o and_o abide_v upon_o the_o earth_n to_o bestow_v its_o heat_n and_o influence_n and_o therefore_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o though_o he_o be_v to_o go_v away_o yet_o he_o will_v send_v another_o comforter_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o then_o they_o be_v overcome_v by_o a_o opinion_n that_o it_o will_v go_v worse_o with_o they_o when_o christ_n be_v go_v therefore_o christ_n tell_v they_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v better_o for_o they_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v better_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v away_o his_o bless_a presence_n for_o their_o disadvantage_n but_o for_o their_o good_a god_n never_o take_v any_o thing_n from_o his_o child_n but_o he_o make_v it_o up_o in_o a_o better_a kind_n if_o christ_n take_v away_o his_o bodily_a presence_n he_o leave_v his_o spiritual_a presence_n and_o more_o abundant_o so_o that_o though_o they_o be_v lead_v with_o sensible_a thing_n and_o what_o they_o see_v not_o they_o can_v hardly_o believe_v yet_o christ_n look_v to_o what_o be_v good_a in_o they_o and_o accept_v it_o he_o see_v what_o be_v naught_o in_o they_o with_o a_o purpose_n to_o purge_v it_o what_o be_v natural_o weak_a in_o they_o to_o strengthen_v it_o and_o therefore_o he_o counsel_v they_o let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v first_o observe_v out_o of_o the_o word_n be_v that_o the_o best_a christian_n be_v subject_a to_o be_v trouble_v to_o be_v pensive_a and_o deject_a more_o than_o shall_v be_v indeed_o our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o be_v trouble_v but_o his_o trouble_n be_v like_o the_o shake_n of_o clear_a water_n in_o a_o crystal_n glass_n there_o be_v no_o mud_n in_o the_o bottom_n but_o our_o trouble_n be_v of_o another_o kind_n and_o apt_a to_o be_v inordinate_a we_o may_v carry_v this_o truth_n through_o the_o whole_a scripture_n and_o show_v how_o hannah_n be_v in_o bitterness_n of_o spirit_n which_o exceed_v so_o that_o eli_n a_o good_a man_n mistake_v she_o suppose_v that_o she_o be_v overcome_v with_o drink_n hezekiah_n a_o good_a king_n be_v in_o such_o bitterness_n that_o like_o a_o crane_n or_o swallow_v he_o do_v chatter_v and_o david_n complain_v that_o his_o spirit_n be_v overwhelm_v within_o he_o and_o jonah_n cry_v out_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o belly_n of_o hell_n and_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o partly_o for_o conformity_n to_o our_o head_n and_o partly_o that_o we_o may_v be_v know_v to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v discern_v where_o our_o weakness_n lie_v and_o so_o be_v better_o instruct_v to_o seek_v to_o he_o in_o who_o our_o strength_n lie_v he_o suffer_v we_o likewise_o to_o be_v trouble_v for_o the_o prevent_n of_o spiritual_a sin_n pride_n and_o security_n and_o the_o like_a and_o partly_o in_o regard_n of_o other_o that_o we_o may_v be_v pitiful_a christ_n be_v man_n for_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o merciful_a high_a priest_n and_o we_o have_v much_o more_o need_n to_o know_v and_o feel_v the_o infirmity_n that_o be_v in_o

lay_v this_o for_o a_o ground_n that_o we_o may_v sin_v in_o be_v overmuch_o trouble_v at_o thing_n for_o which_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n not_o to_o be_v trouble_v if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v at_o all_o

therefore_o for_o answer_n a_o trouble_n be_v sinful_a when_o it_o hinder_v we_o in_o duty_n or_o from_o duty_n when_o it_o hinder_v we_o in_o duty_n to_o god_n or_o to_o other_o or_o from_o duty_n that_o be_v when_o the_o soul_n be_v disturb_v by_o it_o and_o like_o a_o instrument_n out_o of_o tune_n make_v fit_a for_o nothing_o or_o like_o a_o limb_n out_o of_o joint_n that_o move_v not_o
