israel_n and_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o take_v the_o child_n bread_n and_o to_o cast_v it_o to_o dog_n mark_v how_o she_o reply_v truth_n lord_n i_o confess_v all_o that_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o dog_n eat_v of_o the_o crumb_n that_o fall_v from_o their_o master_n table_n o_o the_o excellency_n and_o strength_n and_o work_n of_o her_o faith_n she_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o mercy_n he_o repell_v she_o reproach_v she_o tell_v she_o she_o be_v a_o dog_n she_o confess_v her_o baseness_n yet_o be_v not_o discourage_v for_o all_o that_o but_o still_o rest_v upon_o the_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v mighty_o resolve_v to_o have_v mercy_n whatsoever_o befall_v she_o truth_n lord_n i_o confess_v i_o be_o as_o bad_a as_o thou_o can_v term_v i_o yet_o i_o confess_v too_o that_o there_o be_v no_o comfort_n but_o from_o thou_o and_o though_o i_o be_o a_o dog_n yet_o i_o will_v have_v crumb_n still_o she_o labour_v to_o catch_v after_o mercy_n and_o to_o lean_v and_o bear_v herself_o upon_o the_o favour_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o bestow_n thereof_o upon_o she_o so_o it_o must_v be_v with_o every_o faithful_a christian_a in_o this_o particular_a he_o must_v roll_v himself_o upon_o the_o power_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o wait_v for_o his_o mercy_n i_o will_v join_v they_o both_o together_o for_o brevity_n sake_n though_o this_o latter_a be_v a_o four_o step_n and_o degree_n of_o faith_n i_o say_v he_o must_v not_o only_o depend_v upon_o god_n but_o he_o must_v wait_v upon_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n the_o text_n say_v of_o abraham_n heb._n 6.15_o that_o after_o he_o have_v patient_o endure_v he_o obtain_v the_o promise_n he_o receive_v the_o performance_n after_o he_o have_v a_o little_a wait_v for_o it_o so_o the_o prophet_n david_n psal_n 101.2_o i_o will_v walk_v in_o the_o uprightness_n of_o my_o heart_n till_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o i_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v if_o the_o lord_n will_v absent_v himself_o from_o i_o and_o not_o reveal_v himself_o to_o i_o yet_o wait_v i_o will_v and_o desire_v i_o will_v and_o still_o i_o will_v be_v hope_v for_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n till_o he_o come_v to_o i_o so_o it_o be_v say_v of_o simeon_n that_o good_a old_a man_n that_o he_o wait_v for_o the_o consolation_n of_o israel_n luke_n 2.25_o my_o eye_n say_v david_n psal_n 119.123_o grow_v dim_a for_o the_o look_v for_o thy_o salvation_n he_o that_o belceve_v make_v not_o haste_n isai_n 28.16_o he_o make_v haste_n to_o obey_v but_o make_v not_o haste_n to_o bring_v mercy_n from_o god_n the_o five_o step_n of_o abraham_n faith_n appear_v in_o this_o he_o count_v nothing_o too_o dear_a for_o the_o lord_n he_o be_v content_a to_o break_v through_o all_o impediment_n to_o pass_v through_o all_o difficulty_n whatsoever_o god_n will_v have_v he_o have_v of_o he_o this_o be_v the_o next_o step_n that_o abraham_n go_v and_o this_o you_o shall_v find_v gen._n 22._o when_o god_n put_v he_o upon_o the_o trial_n the_o text_n say_v there_o that_o god_n do_v tempt_v abraham_n do_v try_v what_o he_o will_v do_v for_o he_o and_o he_o bid_v he_o go_v take_v thy_o son_n thy_o only_a son_n isaac_n who_o thou_o love_v and_o stay_v he_o and_o straight_o abraham_n go_v and_o lay_v his_o son_n upon_o a_o altar_n and_o take_v a_o knife_n to_o cut_v the_o throat_n of_o his_o son_n so_o that_o abraham_n do_v not_o spare_v his_o isaac_n he_o do_v not_o spare_v for_o any_o cost_n he_o do_v not_o dodge_n with_o god_n in_o this_o case_n if_o god_n will_v have_v any_o thing_n he_o shall_v have_v it_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v though_o it_o be_v his_o own_o life_n for_o no_o question_n isaac_n be_v dear_a to_o he_o then_o his_o own_o life_n and_o this_o be_v not_o his_o case_n alone_o but_o the_o faithful_a people_n of_o god_n have_v ever_o walk_v the_o same_o course_n the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v of_o the_o same_o spirit_n act_n 20.22_o 24._o i_o know_v not_o say_v he_o the_o thing_n that_o shall_v befall_v i_o save_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n witness_v in_o every_o city_n say_v that_o bond_n and_o affliction_n abide_v i_o but_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n move_v i_o neither_o count_v i_o my_o life_n dear_a unto_o myself_o so_o that_o i_o may_v finish_v my_o course_n with_o joy_n and_o the_o ministry_n which_o i_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o testify_v the_o gospel_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n oh_o bless_a spirit_n here_o be_v the_o work_n of_o faith_n alas_o when_o we_o come_v to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n for_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n how_o hardly_o come_v it_o from_o we_o but_o i_o say_v he_o pass_v not_o no_o nor_o be_v my_o life_n dear_a unto_o i_o here_o i_o say_v be_v the_o work_n of_o faith_n indeed_o when_o a_o man_n be_v content_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o god_n and_o to_o say_v if_o imprisonment_n loss_n of_o estate_n liberty_n life_n come_v i_o pass_v not_o it_o move_v i_o nothing_o so_o i_o may_v finish_v my_o course_n with_o comfort_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n in_o those_o primitive_a time_n heb._n 10.34_o take_v joyful_o the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n i_o think_v i_o see_v the_o saint_n there_o reach_v after_o christ_n with_o the_o arm_n of_o faith_n and_o how_o when_o any_o thing_n lie_v in_o their_o way_n they_o be_v content_a to_o lose_v all_o to_o part_v with_o all_o to_o have_v christ_n therefore_o say_v saint_n paul_n act_v 21.13_o i_o be_o rerdy_o not_o to_o be_v bind_v only_o but_o also_o to_o die_v at_o jerusalem_n for_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n mark_v rather_o than_o he_o will_v leave_v his_o saviour_n he_o will_v leave_v his_o life_n and_o though_o man_n will_v have_v hinder_v he_o yet_o be_v resolve_v to_o have_v christ_n howsoever_o though_o he_o lose_v his_o life_n for_o he_o oh_o let_v i_o have_v my_o saviour_n and_o take_v my_o life_n the_o last_o step_n of_o all_o be_v this_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v thus_o resolve_v not_o to_o dodge_n with_o god_n but_o to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n for_o he_o then_o in_o the_o last_o place_n there_o follow_v a_o readiness_n of_o heart_n to_o address_v a_o man_n self_n to_o the_o performance_n of_o whatsoever_o duty_n god_n require_v at_o his_o hand_n i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o last_o step_n when_o without_o consult_v with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n without_o hammer_v upon_o it_o as_o it_o be_v without_o aukwardnesse_n of_o heart_n there_o follow_v a_o prestness_n to_o obey_v god_n the_o soul_n be_v at_o hand_n when_o abraham_n be_v call_v behold_v say_v

like_o a_o trusty_a servant_n that_o wait_v upon_o his_o master_n and_o be_v ever_o at_o hand_n to_o do_v his_o pleasure_n so_o you_o shall_v see_v it_o be_v with_o abraham_n heb._n 11._o 8._o when_o the_o lord_n command_v he_o to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o country_n he_o obey_v and_o go_v out_o not_o know_v whither_o he_o go_v he_o go_v cheerful_o and_o ready_o though_o he_o know_v not_o whither_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v if_o the_o lord_n call_v i_o will_v not_o question_v if_o he_o command_v i_o will_v perform_v what_o ever_o it_o be_v so_o it_o must_v be_v with_o every_o faithful_a soul_n we_o must_v blind_v the_o eye_n of_o carnal_a reason_n resolve_v to_o obey_v though_o heaven_n and_o earth_n seem_v to_o meet_v together_o in_o a_o contradiction_n care_v not_o what_o man_n or_o what_o devil_n say_v in_o this_o case_n but_o what_o god_n will_v have_v do_v do_v it_o this_o be_v the_o courage_n and_o obedience_n of_o faith_n see_v how_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o place_n before_o name_v act_v 21.12_o 13._o fling_v his_o ancient_a friend_n from_o he_o when_o they_o come_v to_o cross_v he_o in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o ministry_n they_o all_o come_v about_o he_o and_o because_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v see_v his_o face_n no_o more_o they_o beseech_v he_o not_o to_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n then_o paul_n answer_v what_o mean_v you_o to_o weep_v and_o to_o break_v my_o heart_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v a_o grief_n and_o vexation_n to_o my_o soul_n that_o you_o will_v hinder_v i_o that_o i_o can_v go_v with_o readiness_n to_o perform_v the_o service_n that_o god_n require_v at_o

careful_a fear_n the_o lord_n do_v keep_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v never_o fall_v and_o another_o end_n be_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o wicked_a world_n the_o world_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n and_o it_o be_v curse_v and_o hate_v of_o god_n and_o intend_v to_o damnation_n and_o there_o be_v a_o generation_n in_o the_o church_n which_o the_o lord_n hate_v and_o abhor_v and_o have_v appoint_v to_o wrath_n and_o there_o be_v some_o that_o hate_n god_n and_o religion_n and_o be_v glad_a of_o any_o occasion_n whereby_o they_o may_v reproach_n god_n and_o religion_n and_o may_v harden_v their_o heart_n from_o the_o power_n and_o practice_v of_o religion_n now_o in_o regard_n of_o these_o desperate_a wretch_n the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v it_o that_o in_o all_o age_n some_o professor_n shall_v fall_v scandalous_o that_o they_o that_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o have_v their_o heart_n harden_v against_o god_n and_o religion_n shall_v have_v they_o harden_v with_o a_o vengeance_n that_o even_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v run_v in_o a_o way_n and_o another_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o make_v he_o fall_v cast_v some_o stone_n or_o block_n before_o he_o that_o may_v make_v he_o stumble_v and_o fall_v even_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n see_v man_n desperate_o cavil_v against_o religion_n study_v how_o to_o harden_v their_o own_o heart_n and_o the_o heart_n of_o other_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v his_o own_o child_n sometime_o to_o fall_v though_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o common_a but_o ordinary_o hypocrite_n to_o fall_v and_o lie_v in_o their_o way_n as_o stone_n that_o they_o may_v stumble_v and_o fall_v and_o perish_v for_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o woe_n to_o they_o that_o take_v scandal_n all_o profane_a one_o that_o will_v stumble_v at_o religion_n and_o reproach_n professor_n and_o profession_n because_o of_o scandal_n there_o be_v a_o woe_n to_o they_o and_o what_o woe_n even_o this_o that_o those_o scandal_n be_v as_o so_o many_o stone_n tumble_v in_o the_o way_n to_o make_v they_o break_v their_o neck_n in_o the_o pit_n of_o everlasting_a perdition_n and_o therefore_o thus_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o usual_o where_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v any_o long_a time_n and_o people_n have_v not_o be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o bring_v to_o a_o powerful_a profession_n of_o religion_n you_o shall_v usual_o find_v it_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v suffer_v some_o professor_n or_o other_o in_o these_o place_n to_o fall_v scandalous_o be_v it_o not_o so_o in_o many_o place_n in_o this_o city_n and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v my_o brethren_n think_v of_o it_o as_o you_o be_v afraid_a to_o be_v harden_v and_o to_o have_v a_o blackness_n upon_o you_o of_o god_n wrath_n take_v heed_n of_o make_v

and_o so_o to_o grow_v to_o a_o hatred_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o power_n of_o godliness_n but_o the_o use_v you_o be_v to_o make_v of_o it_o be_v this_o let_v he_o that_o stand_v take_v heed_n lest_o he_o fall_v be_v one_o fall_v take_v heed_n thou_o do_v not_o fall_v also_o and_o to_o the_o end_n thou_o do_v not_o fall_v have_v a_o care_n to_o try_v and_o examine_v thyself_o look_v to_o thyself_o that_o thou_o have_v a_o sure_a stand_n therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o make_v use_n of_o this_o looking-glass_n take_v this_o text_n of_o scripture_n and_o by_o it_o try_v yourselves_o if_o you_o

a_o special_a ornament_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n to_o be_v content_v to_o be_v check_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n labour_v therefore_o to_o yield_v to_o the_o truth_n when_o it_o be_v reveal_v and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o use_v a_o word_n of_o examination_n the_o second_o be_v a_o word_n of_o exhortation_n and_o so_o i_o will_v conclude_v we_o be_v all_o to_o be_v exhort_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n i_o say_v all_o of_o we_o for_o howsoever_o wicked_a man_n do_v profess_o oppose_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o his_o word_n in_o the_o faithful_a ministry_n thereof_o yet_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n themselves_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v flesh_n have_v resistance_n in_o they_o but_o with_o this_o difference_n a_o godly_a man_n when_o he_o perceive_v his_o heart_n stubborn_a and_o rebellious_a against_o god_n in_o his_o word_n he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o join_v and_o side_v with_o the_o word_n and_o labour_v to_o oppose_v that_o corruption_n of_o the_o flesh_n so_o it_o be_v with_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o place_n before_o name_v a_o child_n of_o god_n that_o have_v a_o holy_a disposition_n wrought_v in_o he_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n when_o he_o see_v his_o heart_n unwilling_a to_o yield_v to_o christ_n and_o his_o word_n he_o cry_v shame_n upon_o himself_o that_o after_o so_o much_o hear_v so_o many_o mercy_n receive_v so_o many_o gracious_a promise_n reveal_v to_o he_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n so_o often_o lay_v home_o to_o his_o conscience_n that_o his_o heart_n shall_v yet_o remain_v in_o any_o measure_n rebellious_a against_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o rest_v not_o in_o this_o condition_n but_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o this_o rebellion_n of_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o against_o any_o corruption_n else_o whatsoever_o this_o i_o say_v be_v the_o disposition_n of_o a_o gracious_a heart_n but_o with_o a_o wicked_a man_n it_o be_v clean_a contrary_n so_o then_o i_o say_v though_o it_o concern_v all_o natural_a man_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n to_o suffer_v this_o word_n of_o exhortation_n but_o see_v every_o man_n even_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n themselves_o so_o far_o as_o there_o be_v corruption_n in_o they_o have_v in_o they_o this_o rebellion_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o exhortation_n to_o all_o to_o be_v persuade_v if_o we_o tender_v our_o own_o good_a and_o comfort_n not_o to_o content_v ourselves_o to_o be_v bare_a hearer_n to_o enjoy_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o to_o live_v under_o the_o powerful_a preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o to_o labour_v to_o bring_v our_o heart_n to_o yield_v and_o submit_v to_o the_o truth_n reveal_v and_o to_o give_v way_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v content_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v better_a never_o to_o have_v know_v the_o word_n of_o god_n then_o to_o have_v it_o make_v know_v and_o to_o gainsay_v and_o stand_v out_o against_o it_o let_v we_o therefore_o be_v careful_a to_o subject_v ourselves_o and_o to_o take_v up_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o give_v way_n to_o every_o truth_n reveal_v be_v willing_a and_o content_v to_o yield_v to_o whatsoever_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v make_v know_v whether_o it_o declare_v what_o be_v amiss_o to_o take_v that_o away_o or_o whether_o it_o reveal_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v to_o practice_v that_o this_o be_v a_o bless_a frame_n and_o disposition_n of_o spirit_n and_o by_o this_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o have_v comfort_n and_o benefit_n by_o all_o our_o hear_n this_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o get_v that_o good_a that_o god_n intend_v in_o all_o those_o help_n and_o mean_n that_o he_o have_v appoint_v in_o his_o church_n it_o be_v the_o commendation_n of_o josiah_n that_o his_o heart_n melt_v at_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o law_n read_v 2_o king_n 22.19_o and_o i_o know_v not_o a_o great_a ornament_n to_o a_o

therefore_o take_v this_o home_n to_o your_o soul_n and_o suffer_v the_o word_n of_o exhortation_n let_v the_o word_n of_o god_n take_v place_n in_o your_o heart_n i_o will_v have_v every_o

to_o work_v upon_o thy_o own_o soul_n a_o kind_n of_o reasonable_a contentedness_n to_o part_v with_o that_o belove_a corruption_n that_o lie_v in_o thy_o bosom_n i_o do_v not_o say_v thou_o can_v

and_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n it_o all_o lie_v here_o the_o lord_n say_v thou_o must_v forsake_v thy_o sin_n or_o else_o i_o must_v damn_v thy_o soul_n for_o we_o come_v for_o soul_n when_o we_o come_v to_o preach_v we_o do_v not_o come_v here_o only_o to_o spend_v a_o hour_n and_o so_o a_o end_n of_o the_o matter_n no_o but_o we_o see_v a_o poor_a company_n of_o creature_n in_o the_o congregation_n and_o we_o know_v that_o many_o among_o they_o be_v yet_o harden_v and_o blind_v and_o go_v headlong_o to_o perdition_n it_o be_v now_o our_o labour_n and_o care_n to_o prevent_v your_o

your_o good_a he_o see_v you_o walk_v in_o a_o way_n in_o which_o you_o must_v needs_o perish_v and_o therefore_o he_o draw_v the_o sword_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n against_o you_o oh_o stoop_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n reveal_v here_o now_o i_o say_v be_v all_o the_o quarrel_n the_o minister_n say_v you_o must_v leave_v your_o sin_n the_o soul_n say_v i_o will_v not_o i_o will_v have_v those_o fin_n and_o i_o will_v practice_v those_o course_n and_o therefore_o thou_o stomack_v the_o minister_n and_o thy_o heart_n work_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n alas_o why_o do_v you_o contend_v against_o he_o and_o murmur_v against_o he_o we_o seek_v not_o ourselves_o but_o you_o nor_o do_v we_o aim_v at_o our_o own_o end_n but_o at_o the_o salvation_n of_o your_o precious_a soul_n and_o notwithstanding_o all_o your_o opposition_n here_o be_v the_o comfort_n of_o a_o minister_n that_o one_o convert_v soul_n be_v better_a than_o a_o whole_a world_n therefore_o well_o may_v he_o
