god_n which_o pass_v all_o understanding_n shall_v keep_v your_o heart_n and_o mind_n through_o jesus_n christ_n the_o peace_n of_o god_n shall_v keep_v your_o heart_n then_o in_o vers_n 9_o those_o

you_o and_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n shall_v be_v with_o you_o this_o be_v that_o that_o i_o will_v observe_v from_o this_o text_n that_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n be_v not_o enough_o to_o a_o gracious_a heart_n except_o it_o may_v have_v the_o god_n of_o that_o peace_n a_o carnal_a heart_n can_v be_v satisfy_v if_o he_o may_v but_o have_v outward_a peace_n though_o it_o be_v not_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n peace_n in_o the_o state_n and_o his_o trade_n will_v satisfy_v he_o but_o mark_v how_o a_o godly_a heart_n go_v beyond_o a_o carnal_a all_o outward_a peace_n be_v not_o enough_o but_o i_o must_v have_v the_o peace_n of_o god_n but_o suppose_v you_o have_v the_o peace_n of_o god_n will_v not_o that_o quiet_a you_o no_o i_o must_v have_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n as_o the_o peace_n of_o god_n so_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n that_o be_v i_o must_v enjoy_v that_o god_n that_o give_v i_o the_o peace_n i_o must_v have_v the_o cause_n as_o well_o as_o the_o effect_n i_o must_v see_v from_o whence_o my_o peace_n come_v and_o enjoy_v the_o fountain_n of_o my_o peace_n as_o well_o as_o the_o stream_n of_o my_o peace_n and_o so_o in_o other_o mercy_n have_v i_o health_n from_o god_n i_o must_v have_v the_o god_n of_o my_o health_n to_o be_v my_o portion_n or_o else_o i_o be_o not_o satisfy_v it_o be_v not_o life_n but_o the_o god_n of_o my_o life_n it_o be_v not_o riches_n but_o the_o god_n of_o those_o riches_n that_o i_o must_v have_v the_o god_n of_o my_o preservation_n as_o well_o as_o my_o preservation_n a_o gracious_a heart_n be_v not_o satisfy_v without_o this_o to_o have_v the_o god_n of_o the_o mercy_n as_o well_o as_o the_o mercy_n in_o psal_n 73.25_o who_o have_v i_o in_o heaven_n but_o thou_o and_o there_o be_v none_o upon_o the_o earth_n that_o i_o desire_v beside_o thou_o it_o be_v nothing_o in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n can_v satisfy_v i_o but_o thyself_o if_o god_n give_v thou_o not_o only_a earth_n but_o heaven_n that_o thou_o shall_v rule_v over_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n and_o have_v the_o rule_n over_o the_o high_a of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n it_o will_v not_o be_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v thou_o except_o thou_o have_v god_n himself_o there_o lie_v the_o first_o mystery_n of_o contentment_n &_o true_o a_o content_a man_n though_o he_o be_v the_o most_o content_a man_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o he_o be_v the_o most_o unsatisfy_a man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v those_o thing_n that_o will_v satisfy_v the_o world_n will_v not_o satisfy_v he_o second_o there_o be_v this_o mystery_n in_o christian_a contentation_n a_o christian_a come_v to_o contentment_n not_o so_o much_o by_o way_n of_o addition_n as_o by_o way_n of_o substraction_n that_o be_v his_o way_n of_o contentment_n and_o that_o be_v a_o way_n that_o the_o world_n have_v no_o skill_n in_o i_o open_v it_o thus_o not_o so_o much_o by_o the_o add_v to_o what_o he_o will_v have_v or_o to_o what_o he_o have_v not_o by_o add_v more_o to_o his_o condition_n but_o rather_o by_o substract_v of_o his_o desire_n and_o so_o to_o make_v his_o desire_n and_o conditon_n to_o be_v even_o and_o equal_a a_o carnal_a heart_n know_v no_o way_n to_o be_v content_v but_o this_o i_o have_v such_o and_o such_o a_o estate_n and_o if_o i_o have_v this_o add_v to_o it_o and_o the_o other_o comfort_n add_v that_o now_o i_o have_v not_o than_o i_o shall_v be_v content_v it_o may_v be_v i_o have_v lose_v my_o estate_n if_o i_o can_v have_v but_o that_o give_v to_o i_o so_o as_o to_o make_v up_o my_o loss_n than_o i_o shall_v be_v a_o content_a man_n but_o now_o contentmet_n do_v not_o come_v in_o that_o way_n it_o come_v not_o in_o i_o say_v by_o the_o add_v to_o what_o thou_o want_v but_o by_o the_o substract_n of_o thy_o desire_n it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o a_o christian_a either_o that_o i_o may_v get_v up_o unto_o what_o i_o will_v have_v or_o get_v my_o desire_n down_o to_o what_o i_o have_v either_o that_o i_o may_v attain_v to_o what_o i_o do_v desire_n or_o bring_v down_o my_o desire_n to_o what_o i_o have_v already_o attain_v my_o estate_n be_v the_o same_o for_o it_o be_v as_o suitable_a to_o i_o to_o bring_v my_o desire_n down_o to_o my_o condition_n as_o it_o be_v to_o raise_v up_o my_o condition_n to_o my_o desire_n now_o i_o say_v a_o heart_n that_o have_v no_o grace_n and_o be_v not_o instruct_v in_o this_o mystery_n of_o contentment_n know_v no_o way_n to_o get_v contentment_n but_o to_o have_v his_o estate_n raise_v up_o to_o his_o desire_n but_o the_o other_o have_v another_o way_n to_o contentment_n that_o be_v he_o can_v bring_v his_o desire_n down_o to_o his_o estate_n and_o so_o he_o do_v attain_v to_o his_o contentment_n so_o the_o lord_n fashion_n the_o heart_n of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n now_o if_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n be_v fashion_v to_o his_o condition_n he_o may_v have_v as_o much_o contentment_n as_o if_o his_o condition_n be_v fashion_v to_o his_o heart_n some_o man_n have_v a_o mighty_a large_a heart_n but_o they_o have_v a_o straight_a condition_n and_o they_o can_v never_o have_v contentment_n when_o their_o heart_n be_v big_a and_o their_o condition_n be_v little_a but_o now_o though_o a_o man_n can_v bring_v his_o condition_n to_o be_v as_o big_a as_o his_o heart_n yet_o if_o he_o can_v bring_v his_o heart_n to_o be_v as_o little_a as_o his_o condition_n to_o bring_v they_o even_o from_o thence_o be_v contentment_n the_o world_n be_v infinite_o deceive_v in_o this_o to_o think_v that_o contentment_n lie_v in_o have_v more_o than_o they_o have_v here_o lie_v the_o bottom_n and_o root_n of_o all_o contentment_n when_o there_o be_v a_o evenness_n and_o proportion_n between_o our_o heart_n and_o our_o condition_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o many_o that_o be_v godly_a man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o low_a condition_n live_v more_o sweet_a and_o comfortable_a life_n than_o those_o that_o be_v rich_a contentment_n be_v not_o always_o clothe_v with_o silk_n and_o purple_a and_o velvet_n but_o contentment_n be_v sometime_o in_o a_o russet_a sure_a in_o a_o mean_a condition_n as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o high_a and_o many_o man_n that_o sometime_o have_v have_v great_a estate_n and_o god_n have_v bring_v they_o into_o a_o low_a condition_n they_o have_v have_v more_o contentment_n in_o that_o condition_n than_o the_o other_o now_o how_o can_v that_o possible_a be_v thus_o easy_o for_o if_o you_o do_v but_o understand_v the_o root_n of_o contentment_n it_o consist_v in_o the_o suitableness_n and_o proportion_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n to_o his_o estate_n and_o the_o evenness_n when_o one_o end_n be_v not_o long_o and_o big_a than_o another_o the_o heart_n be_v content_v there_o be_v comfort_n in_o that_o condition_n now_o let_v god_n give_v a_o man_n never_o so_o great_a riches_n yet_o if_o the_o lord_n give_v he_o up_o to_o the_o pride_n of_o his_o heart_n he_o will_v never_o be_v content_v but_o now_o let_v god_n bring_v any_o one_o into_o a_o mean_a condition_n and_o then_o let_v god_n but_o fashion_n and_o suit_v his_o heart_n to_o that_o condition_n and_o he_o will_v be_v content_a as_o now_o in_o a_o man_n go_v suppose_v a_o man_n have_v a_o mighty_a long_a leg_n and_o his_o other_o leg_n be_v short_a why_o though_o one_o of_o his_o leg_n be_v long_o than_o ordinary_a yet_o he_o can_v not_o go_v so_o well_o as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v both_o his_o leg_n short_a than_o he_o i_o compare_v a_o long_a leg_n when_o one_o be_v long_a than_o another_o to_o a_o man_n that_o

of_o jacob_n when_o his_o brother_n esau_n do_v meet_v he_o you_o find_v in_o one_o place_n that_o esau_n he_o refuse_v jacob_n present_a in_o the_o 8._o verse_n when_o jacob_n give_v his_o present_n

of_o contentment_n it_o make_v up_o all_o want_n in_o god_n this_o be_v that_o that_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n have_v little_a skill_n in_o now_o i_o have_v divers_a other_o thing_n yet_o to_o

all_o to_o make_v up_o all_o in_o himself_o not_o from_o himself_o but_o in_o himself_o and_o that_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v strange_a than_o the_o other_o to_o make_v up_o all_o in_o god_n be_v somewhat_o nay_o to_o make_v up_o all_o in_o himself_o not_o from_o himself_o but_o in_o himself_o that_o be_v a_o gracious_a heart_n have_v so_o much_o of_o god_n within_o himself_o that_o he_o

they_o have_v the_o creature_n to_o satisfy_v they_o but_o to_o fetch_v contentment_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o they_o have_v little_a skill_n in_o i_o shall_v here_o have_v open_v two_o thing_n first_o how_o to_o fetch_v contentment_n from_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o general_n but_o i_o shall_v speak_v to_o that_o in_o the_o next_o sermon_n and_o now_o only_a a_o word_n to_o the_o second_o second_o how_o he_o fetch_v contentment_n from_o the_o particular_a branch_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v from_o the_o particular_a promise_n that_o he_o have_v for_o the_o supply_n of_o every_o particular_a want_n there_o be_v no_o condition_n that_o a_o godly_a man_n or_o woman_n can_v be_v in_o but_o there_o be_v some_o promise_n or_o other_o in_o the_o scripture_n to_o help_v he_o in_o that_o condition_n and_o that_o be_v the_o way_n of_o his_o contentment_n
be_v take_v away_o this_o promise_n tell_v i_o that_o if_o it_o do_v befall_v i_o yet_o it_o be_v for_o some_o notable_a end_n and_o because_o god_n have_v use_v of_o my_o life_n and_o intend_v to_o fetch_v about_o his_o glory_n some_o way_n that_o i_o know_v not_o of_o and_o if_o he_o will_v come_v in_o a_o fatherly_a way_n of_o chastisement_n yet_o i_o will_v be_v satisfy_v in_o the_o thing_n so_o a_o christian_a heart_n by_o reason_v out_o of_o the_o word_n come_v to_o satisfy_v his_o soul_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o such_o a_o heavy_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o in_o such_o a_o distress_a condition_n as_o that_o be_v now_o carnal_a heart_n they_o find_v not_o that_o power_n in_o the_o word_n that_o heal_a virtue_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n to_o heal_v their_o distract_a care_n and_o the_o trouble_n of_o their_o spirit_n but_o now_o those_o that_o be_v godly_a when_o they_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n they_o find_v out_o that_o in_o the_o word_n there_o be_v as_o a_o plaster_n to_o all_o their_o wound_n and_o so_o they_o come_v to_o have_v ease_n and_o contentment_n in_o such_o condition_n as_o be_v very_o grievous_a and_o miserable_a unto_o other_o but_o now_o for_o other_o particular_a promise_n and_o more_o general_o for_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n how_o and_o in_o what_o mysterious_a way_n the_o saint_n do_v work_v to_o fetch_v out_o contentment_n and_o satisfaction_n to_o their_o soul_n we_o shall_v refer_v to_o the_o next_o time_n sermon_n iu._n philippian_n 4.11_o for_o i_o have_v learn_v in_o whatsoever_o state_n i_o be_o therewith_o to_o be_v content_a in_o the_o last_o exercise_n we_o speak_v of_o divers_a thing_n in_o the_o mystrie_n of_o contentment_n and_o in_o the_o close_a we_o speak_v of_o two_o more_o but_o

the_o point_n that_o be_v the_o next_o then_o a_o christian_a heart_n have_v not_o only_a contentment_n in_o god_n and_o certain_o he_o that_o have_v god_n must_v have_v all_o he_o that_o have_v he_o
