of_o our_o first_o general_n to_o wit_n the_o preparation_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o christ_n the_o next_o be_v the_o implantation_n of_o the_o soul_n into_o christ_n and_o that_o have_v two_o part_n

jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o have_v two_o particular_a passage_n the_o call_v on_o god_n part_n the_o answer_n on_o man_n part_n the_o call_n on_o god_n part_n be_v this_o when_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o call_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o work_v of_o his_o spirit_n do_v so_o clear_o reveal_v the_o fullness_n of_o mercy_n that_o the_o soul_n humble_v return_v answer_n in_o which_o observe_v the_o mean_n cause_v whereby_o god_n do_v call_v 1._o the_o mean_n be_v only_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o sum_n whereof_o be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v fullness_n of_o mercy_n and_o grace_n and_o salvation_n bring_v unto_o we_o through_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n hence_o the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n call_v this_o gospel_n or_o this_o mercy_n a_o treasury_n all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o holiness_n be_v in_o christ_n 3._o not_o one_o treasure_n but_o all_o treasure_n not_o some_o treasure_n but_o all_o treasure_n where_o the_o gospel_n come_v there_o be_v joy_n for_o the_o sorrowful_a peace_n for_o the_o trouble_a strength_n for_o the_o weak_a relief_n seasonable_a 61._o and_o suitable_a to_o all_o want_n misery_n and_o necessity_n both_o present_a and_o future_a if_o then_o sorrow_n assail_v thou_o when_o thou_o be_v come_v thus_o far_o look_v not_o on_o thy_o sin_n to_o pore_v upon_o they_o neither_o look_v into_o thy_o own_o use_v sufficiency_n to_o procure_v any_o good_a there_o it_o be_v true_a thou_o must_v see_v thy_o sin_n and_o sorrow_n for_o they_o but_o this_o be_v for_o the_o low_a form_n and_o thou_o must_v get_v this_o lesson_n beforehand_o and_o when_o thou_o have_v get_v this_o lesson_n of_o contrition_n and_o humiliation_n look_v then_o only_o to_o god_n mercy_n and_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o christ_n 2._o for_o the_o cause_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o only_o appoint_v the_o mean_n but_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o do_v bring_v all_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n into_o the_o soul_n true_o humble_v if_o you_o ask_v how_o first_o with_o strength_n of_o evidence_n the_o spirit_n present_v to_o the_o brokenhearted_a sinner_n the_o right_a of_o the_o freeness_n of_o god_n grace_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o second_o the_o spirit_n do_v forcible_o soak_v in_o the_o relish_n of_o that_o grace_n and_o by_o a_o over-piercing_a work_n do_v leave_v some_o dint_n of_o supernatural_a and_o spiritual_a virtue_n on_o the_o heart_n now_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n always_o go_v together_o not_o that_o god_n be_v tie_v to_o any_o mean_n but_o that_o he_o tie_v himself_o to_o the_o mean_n hence_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n because_o the_o power_n of_o god_n ordinary_o 16._o and_o in_o common_a course_n appear_v therein_o the_o water_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n run_v only_o in_o the_o channel_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v golden_a mine_n of_o grace_n but_o they_o be_v only_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o climate_n of_o the_o gospel_n nay_o observe_v this_o when_o all_o argument_n prevail_v not_o with_o corruption_n to_o persuade_v the_o heart_n to_o go_v to_o god_n one_o text_n of_o scripture_n will_v stand_v a_o man_n in_o stead_n above_o all_o human_a learning_n and_o invention_n because_o the_o spirit_n go_v forth_o in_o this_o and_o none_o else_o this_o may_v teach_v we_o the_o worth_n of_o the_o gospel_n above_o all_o other_o information_n thing_n in_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o bring_v salvation_n with_o it_o what_o if_o a_o man_n have_v all_o the_o wealth_n and_o policy_n in_o the_o world_n and_o want_v this_o he_o be_v a_o fool_n what_o if_o one_o be_v able_a to_o dive_v deep_a into_o
through_o his_o heart_n and_o he_o be_v breathe_v out_o his_o sorrow_n as_o though_o he_o be_v go_v down_o to_o hell_n and_o he_o say_v if_o there_o be_v any_o mercy_n any_o love_n any_o fellowship_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o a_o poor_a creature_n that_o be_o under_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o almighty_a o_o pray_v and_o pity_v these_o wound_n and_o vexation_n of_o spirit_n which_o no_o man_n find_v nor_o feel_v but_o he_o that_o have_v be_v thus_o wound_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o soul_n whole_o devote_v to_o destruction_n that_o have_v a_o desperate_a disdain_n

say_v come_v thou_o poor_a heavy-hearted_a sinner_n i_o will_v ease_v thou_o labour_n to_o lay_v load_n on_o thy_o heart_n with_o sorrow_n for_o thy_o sin_n o_o what_o a_o comfort_n shall_v a_o poor_a

not_o in_o substance_n but_o circumstance_n for_o humiliation_n as_o i_o take_v it_o be_v only_o the_o extent_n of_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n of_o which_o we_o have_v speak_v and_o it_o contain_v these_o two_o duty_n 1._o submission_n 2._o contentedness_n to_o be_v at_o the_o lord_n disposal_n the_o first_o part_n of_o humiliation_n be_v submission_n which_o be_v wrought_v thus_o the_o sinner_n have_v now_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o a_o sorrow_n in_o some_o measure_n for_o sin_n he_o seek_v far_o and_o wide_o improve_v all_o mean_n and_o take_v up_o all_o duty_n that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a he_o may_v heal_v his_o wound_a soul_n thus_o seek_v and_o seek_v but_o find_v no_o succour_n in_o what_o he_o have_v or_o do_v he_o be_v force_v at_o last_o in_o his_o despair_a condition_n to_o make_v trial_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v true_a for_o the_o present_a he_o apprehend_v god_n to_o be_v just_a and_o to_o be_v incense_v against_o he_o he_o have_v no_o experience_n of_o god_n favour_n for_o the_o while_n no_o certainty_n how_o he_o shall_v speed_v if_o he_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n yet_o because_o he_o see_v he_o can_v be_v worse_a than_o he_o be_v and_o that_o none_o can_v help_v he_o but_o god_n if_o it_o will_v please_v he_o therefore_o he_o fall_v at_o the_o footstool_n of_o mercy_n and_o he_o lie_v grovel_v at_o the_o gate_n of_o grace_n and_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o lord_n to_o do_v with_o he_o as_o please_v himself_o or_o as_o it_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o eye_n this_o be_v the_o ninevite_n case_n when_o jonah_n have_v denounce_v that_o heavy_a judgement_n and_o as_o it_o be_v throw_v wild_a fire_n about_o the_o street_n say_v within_o forty_o day_n niniveh_n shall_v be_v destroy_v see_v what_o they_o resolve_v upon_o they_o fast_v and_o pray_v and_o put_v on_o 9_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n who_o can_v tell_v say_v they_o but_o god_n may_v turn_v and_o repent_v he_o of_o his_o fierce_a wrath_n that_o we_o perish_v not_o as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v we_o know_v not_o what_o god_n will_v do_v but_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o can_v oppose_v his_o judgement_n nor_o succour_v ourselves_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o a_o sinner_n when_o he_o see_v hell_n fire_n to_o flash_n in_o his_o face_n and_o that_o he_o can_v succour_v himself_o than_o he_o say_v this_o i_o know_v that_o all_o the_o mean_n in_o the_o world_n can_v save_v i_o yet_o who_o can_v tell_v but_o the_o lord_n may_v have_v mercy_n on_o i_o and_o cure_v his_o tdistressed_a conscience_n and_o heal_v all_o these_o wound_n that_o sin_n have_v make_v in_o my_o

and_o confess_v that_o the_o lord_n for_o aught_o he_o know_v will_v proceed_v in_o justice_n against_o he_o and_o execute_v upon_o he_o those_o plague_n that_o god_n have_v threaten_v and_o his_o sin_n have_v deserve_v he_o see_v that_o justice_n be_v not_o yet_o satisfy_v and_o those_o reckon_n between_o god_n and_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o make_v up_o and_o therefore_o he_o can_v apprehend_v but_o that_o god_n will_v take_v vengeance_n on_o he_o what_o else_o when_o he_o have_v do_v all_o he_o can_v he_o be_v unprofitable_a still_o justice_n remain_v unsatisfied_a and_o say_v thou_o have_v sin_v and_o i_o be_o wrong_v and_o therefore_o thou_o shall_v die_v second_o he_o conceive_v that_o what_o god_n will_v do_v that_o he_o will_v do_v and_o he_o can_v avoid_v it_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v come_v and_o require_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n against_o he_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o avoid_v it_o nor_o to_o bear_v it_o and_o this_o crush_v the_o heart_n and_o make_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v beyond_o all_o shift_n and_o evasion_n whereby_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o avoid_v the_o dint_n of_o the_o lord_n blow_v three_o he_o cast_v away_o his_o weapon_n and_o fall_v

to_o zadock_n carry_v back_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n into_o the_o city_n if_o i_o shall_v find_v favour_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o 26._o will_v bring_v i_o back_o again_o and_o show_v
