by_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n you_o see_v the_o minister_n earnest_n but_o you_o can_v not_o conceive_v what_o the_o man_n mean_v in_o his_o earnestness_n but_o now_o you_o see_v what_o he_o mean_v in_o his_o earnestness_n and_o understand_v what_o weight_n be_v in_o those_o truth_n you_o hear_v reveal_v this_o be_v somewhat_o like_a when_o the_o spirit_n be_v thus_o â—…ed_v and_o act_v in_o

your_o mind_n close_v with_o this_o if_o you_o be_v only_o melancholy_a this_o will_v make_v you_o more_o dull_a and_o heavy_a but_o this_o make_v you_o more_o lively_a and_o active_a therefore_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n last_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n can_v be_v cure_v as_o melancholy_n be_v melancholy_n many_o time_n be_v wear_v out_o with_o time_n and_o physic_n cure_v that_o and_o outward_a comfort_n and_o contentment_n cure_v that_o but_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n be_v a_o wound_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n as_o francis_n spira_n say_v when_o they_o bring_v

manner_n of_o medicine_n than_o plaster_n and_o drug_n to_o cure_v a_o faint_a soul_n and_o spirit_n for_o sin_n conscience_n must_v have_v gospel_n antidote_n therefore_o you_o that_o think_v you_o have_v trouble_v of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n and_o you_o be_v now_o ease_v or_o perhaps_o not_o so_o much_o trouble_v now_o as_o before_o look_v back_o what_o cure_v you_o how_o come_v it_o to_o

you_o you_o have_v such_o trouble_n but_o what_o have_v cure_v you_o many_o time_n one_o can_v give_v no_o account_n but_o this_o sure_a time_n have_v wear_v it_o away_o if_o so_o than_o it_o be_v

and_o may_v be_v now_o your_o affliction_n be_v take_v away_o and_o this_o have_v â—ured_v you_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o trouble_n than_o this_o certain_o you_o know_v not_o what_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n mean_n at_o least_o not_o in_o a_o save_a way_n either_o it_o be_v not_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n at_o all_o or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o cure_v aright_o but_o as_o the_o thorn_n that_o lie_v rot_v and_o rankle_v in_o the_o flesh_n a_o thorn_n when_o it_o first_o get_v in_o put_v one_o to_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n perhaps_o if_o it_o be_v let_v alone_o the_o pain_n will_v be_v over_o for_o the_o present_a but_o it_o lie_v rankle_v and_o will_v put_v you_o to_o pain_n afterward_o if_o it_o be_v not_o cure_v so_o of_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n for_o sin_n and_o if_o nothing_o have_v cure_v it_o but_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v like_o the_o thorn_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o will_v trouble_v you_o afterward_o there_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o cure_n for_o

that_o this_o be_v but_o the_o first_o sin_n that_o ever_o they_o commit_v 6_o last_o consider_v
that_o god_n shall_v not_o now_o enter_v so_o much_o as_o into_o any_o parley_n with_o they_o about_o any_o term_n of_o peace_n nor_o never_o will_v nor_o never_o will_v this_o be_v the_o sore_a

christ_n say_v to_o the_o pharisee_n who_o have_v forwarn_v you_o to_o fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v so_o god_n will_v say_v why_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n who_o tell_v you_o this_o i_o

4_o if_o thou_o avoid_v sin_n mere_o to_o prevent_v affliction_n than_o thou_o be_v not_o like_a to_o hold_v out_o that_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o nature_n nothing_o be_v perpetual_a that_o be_v

this_o they_o will_v fall_v off_o at_o last_o they_o will_v abate_v at_o last_o and_o so_o they_o will_v come_v to_o fall_v off_o but_o you_o will_v say_v oh_o lord_n this_o be_v my_o condition_n i_o be_o afraid_a there_o be_v i_o suppose_v many_o in_o this_o congregation_n may_v and_o do_v apply_v these_o thing_n and_o it_o strike_v to_o their_o heart_n to_o think_v lord_n than_o i_o be_o

at_o all_o therefore_o 1_o know_v that_o though_o the_o sensitive_a part_n may_v not_o be_v so_o much_o stir_v from_o the_o behold_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n as_o of_o affliction_n yet_o the_o rational_a part_n may_v more_o work_v against_o sin_n as_o sin_n than_o from_o affliction_n that_o follow_v how_o will_v this_o follow_v will_v you_o say_v that_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v not_o order_v by_o the_o sensitive_a thus_o if_o i_o put_v my_o finger_n in_o the_o fire_n there_o will_v be_v more_o pain_n to_o sense_n than_o if_o i_o endure_v that_o which_o be_v a_o hundred_o time_n worse_a as_o suppose_v a_o prince_n shall_v lose_v his_o kingdom_n that_o be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o to_o have_v his_o finger_n a_o little_a burn_v yet_o there_o will_v be_v more_o to_o sense_n for_o the_o instant_n than_o can_v be_v in_o the_o other_o but_o if_o he_o come_v to_o the_o rational_a part_n to_o choose_v which_o he_o will_v take_v he_o will_v rather_o take_v that_o which_o be_v most_o painful_a for_o the_o present_a so_o the_o trouble_a soul_n though_o to_o sense_n it_o find_v more_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o evil_a but_o if_o it_o be_v put_v to_o its_o choice_n he_o will_v choose_v any_o affliction_n rather_o than_o sin_n so_o that_o the_o rational_a part_n fear_v its_o sin_n more_o than_o its_o affliction_n for_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o that_o it_o may_v have_v its_o choice_n that_o it_o may_v commit_v such_o a_o sin_n without_o any_o affliction_n or_o such_o a_o affliction_n without_o sin_n which_o will_v you_o take_v certain_o that_o soul_n in_o the_o rational_a part_n will_v choose_v the_o affliction_n without_o sin_n rather_o than_o the_o sin_n without_o the_o affliction_n but_o yet_o i_o have_v here_o more_o to_o say_v to_o such_o to_o satisfy_v the_o conscience_n of_o those_o that_o be_v trouble_v and_o that_o say_v they_o be_v afraid_a that_o they_o avoid_v sin_n from_o fear_n of_o affliction_n to_o see_v if_o there_o may_v not_o yet_o be_v grace_n 2_o know_v therefore_o that_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o avoid_v sin_n mere_o from_o fear_n of_o affliction_n though_o he_o avoid_v the_o sin_n he_o never_o come_v to_o love_v the_o command_n that_o forbid_v that_o sin_n but_o be_v weary_a of_o god_n command_n but_o now_o a_o soul_n that_o do_v not_o only_o avoid_v sin_n through_o fear_n but_o withal_o have_v a_o love_n to_o that_o command_n that_o bind_v his_o spirit_n also_o if_o thou_o find_v it_o thus_o that_o thou_o have_v a_o love_n to_o that_o command_n that_o forbid_v that_o sin_n that_o thou_o do_v avoid_v certain_o thou_o do_v not_o avoid_v it_o mere_o from_o fear_n of_o affliction_n those_o that_o avoid_v sin_n mere_o from_o fear_n of_o affliction_n they_o do_v not_o commit_v sin_n because_o they_o dare_v not_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n will_v be_v glad_a if_o there_o be_v no_o command_n against_o it_o as_o it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o one_o that_o cry_v out_o oh_o that_o god_n have_v never_o make_v the_o seven_o commandment_n he_o have_v a_o enlighten_v conscience_n but_o a_o filthy_a heart_n but_o conscience_n now_o stand_v in_o his_o way_n he_o hate_v therefore_o the_o command_n that_o forbid_v that_o sin_n oh_o that_o that_o command_n have_v never_o be_v make_v say_v he_o so_o those_o that_o mere_o refrain_v sin_n from_o fear_n of_o trouble_n and_o hell_n though_o they_o keep_v from_o the_o sin_n yet_o they_o never_o love_v the_o command_n that_o forbid_v sin_n but_o if_o thy_o heartclose_n with_o the_o command_n and_o say_v it_o be_v good_a holy_a and_o righteous_a and_o

those_o conscience_n those_o that_o avoid_v sin_n mere_o from_o fear_n of_o affliction_n they_o be_v willing_o ignorant_a of_o many_o sin_n they_o do_v willing_o turn_v their_o eye_n from_o the_o

because_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o sin_n they_o wink_v with_o their_o eye_n and_o be_v loath_a to_o be_v convince_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n because_o that_o they_o have_v a_o heart_n delight_v to_o close_v with_o the_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o deceit_n this_o way_n but_o now_o when_o a_o man_n or_o a_o woman_n conscience_n tell_v they_o this_o it_o be_v the_o desire_n of_o
