faith_n of_o reliance_n in_o the_o saint_n by_o hide_v from_o they_o their_o former_a experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o they_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n have_v the_o sight_n and_o

the_o saint_n from_o they_o and_o so_o do_v strike_v at_o their_o faith_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v their_o faith_n fail_v but_o then_o how_o shall_v we_o bear_v off_o this_o blow_n quest_n thus_o

he_o come_v and_o tempt_v and_o say_v unto_o a_o poor_a soul_n be_v you_o speak_v of_o former_a mercy_n or_o blessing_n to_o be_v thanful_a for_o they_o that_o be_v a_o good_a work_n for_o other_o but_o as_o for_o you_o you_o have_v commit_v such_o a_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v your_o duty_n now_o to_o mourn_v for_o your_o sin_n commit_v look_v you_o to_o that_o to_o be_v humble_v apply_v

lose_v the_o sight_n of_o his_o experience_n and_o so_o his_o faith_n fail_v in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n

wherefore_o my_o exhortation_n be_v that_o you_o may_v avoid_v this_o blow_n and_o this_o stroke_n never_o mourn_v no_o not_o for_o son_n commit_v but_o still_o be_v thankful_a for_o grace_v receive_v otherways_o your_o experience_n will_v go_v out_o of_o sight_n and_o then_o your_o faith_n fail_v you_o again_o answ_n 3_o satan_n do_v sometime_o strike_v at_o the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n labour_n to_o weaken_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o saint_n reliance_n by_o sunder_v or_o sever_n their_o soul_n from_o the_o promise_n so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n have_v the_o sight_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o the_o promise_n be_v by_o he_o a_o gracious_a heart_n say_v i_o will_v for_o ever_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o rely_v upon_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o thus_o and_o thus_o have_v god_n speak_v and_o thus_o and_o thus_o say_v the_o promise_n to_o i_o but_o now_o if_o the_o promise_n be_v go_v than_o a_o man_n reliance_n fail_v satan_n therefore_o in_o the_o into_o of_o temptation_n labour_v to_o take_v away_o the_o promise_n scare_v the_o soul_n or_o cog_a the_o soul_n from_o the_o promise_n this_o he_o do_v many_o way_n but_o sometime_o he_o speak_v out_o thus_o what!_o do_v you_o meddle_v with_o the_o promise_n the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o you_o the_o threaten_v belong_v to_o you_o you_o have_v finned_a so_o and_o so_o and_o the_o threaten_v belong_v to_o you_o but_o the_o

in_o time_n of_o temptation_n for_o i_o confess_v thus_o by_o this_o temptation_n do_v satan_n strike_v at_o my_o faith_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v my_o faith_n to_o fail_v in_o this_o case_n let_v a_o man_n heart_n speak_v thus_o answ_n first_n if_o the_o lord_n do_v command_v i_o to_o believe_v than_o the_o promise_n belong_v to_o i_o for_o i_o can_v believe_v unless_o i_o apply_v the_o

for_o i_o not_o to_o believe_v not_o therefore_o the_o lord_n command_v i_o to_o believe_v but_o believe_v i_o can_v unless_o i_o apply_v the_o promise_n therefore_o god_n will_v have_v i_o to_o apply_v the_o promise_n therefore_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o i_o and_o i_o may_v apply_v it_o again_o let_v the_o heart_n speak_v thus_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v give_v out_o a_o threaten_v that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v fulfil_v and_o he_o do_v give_v out_o a_o promise_n that_o it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v if_o the_o very_a apply_v of_o the_o threaten_v make_v the_o threaten_v not_o to_o belong_v to_o i_o and_o the_o very_o apply_v of_o the_o promise_n make_v the_o promise_n to_o belong_v to_o i_o then_o the_o threaten_v do_v not_o belong_v to_o i_o for_o i_o have_v apply_v it_o and_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o i_o for_o i_o have_v apply_v it_o oh_o i_o remember_v how_o my_o soul_n have_v lie_v tremble_v before_o the_o threaten_v the_o lord_n know_v i_o have_v often_o apply_v the_o threaten_v but_o now_o this_o be_v true_a that_o the_o very_a apply_v of_o the_o threaten_a make_v the_o threaten_a not_o to_o belong_v to_o a_o man_n and_o the_o very_o apply_v of_o the_o promise_n make_v the_o promise_n to_o belong_v to_o a_o man_n and_o therefore_o satan_n the_o threaten_v belong_v not_o unto_o i_o but_o the_o promise_n do_v but_o then_o again_o three_o let_v he_o say_v thus_o if_o i_o be_v more_o godly_a now_o than_o i_o be_v when_o satan_n tell_v i_o that_o the_o threaten_v do_v not_o belong_v to_o i_o and_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o i_o than_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o this_o temptation_n when_o i_o go_v on_o in_o a_o way_n of_o sin_n than_o satan_n tell_v i_o the_o threaten_v do_v not_o belong_v to_o i_o and_o then_o he_o tell_v i_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o i_o oh_o but_o now_o i_o be_o more_o godly_a than_o i_o be_v then_o i_o have_v more_o of_o christ_n than_o i_o have_v than_o i_o be_o sure_a &_o therefore_o satan_n do_v thou_o tell_v i_o that_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o i_o then_o '_o therefore_o it_o belong_v much_o more_o to_o i_o now_o thou_o tell_v i_o heretofore_o when_o i_o go_v on_o in_o a_o

all_o thing_n remember_v that_o of_o the_o commamnd_a to_o believe_v luther_n be_v a_o man_n that_o labour_v under_o great_a temptation_n and_o be_v once_o sore_o tempt_v and_o the_o tear_n trickle_v

or_o think_v on_o before_o so_o say_v i_o now_o unto_o you_o do_v satan_n come_v with_o this_o temptation_n and_o tell_v thou_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v to_o thou_o answer_v i_o but_o the_o
