our_o first_o parent_n not_o to_o believe_v that_o word_n of_o god_n which_o he_o give_v they_o to_o deter_v and_o keep_v they_o from_o sin_n which_o word_n be_v write_v gen._n 2.17_o in_o the_o day_n

evil_n and_o by_o believe_v this_o promise_n of_o the_o devil_n they_o break_v the_o covenant_n of_o life_n and_o bring_v that_o deluge_n of_o sin_n and_o misery_n which_o come_v upon_o all_o mankind_n and_o since_o he_o prevail_v with_o man_n not_o to_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o he_o speak_v to_o keep_v they_o from_o sin_n and_o destruction_n now_o his_o work_n be_v to_o tempt_v they_o to_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n in_o the_o word_n which_o he_o have_v speak_v to_o save_v they_o from_o sin_n and_o ruin_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o promise_v eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o live_v the_o life_n of_o new_a creature_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o the_o devil_n tempt_v man_n to_o break_v this_o covenant_n by_o promise_v they_o life_n and_o all_o happiness_n in_o a_o course_n of_o sin_n and_o these_o wicked_a child_n believe_v the_o devil_n herein_o and_o bless_v themselves_o in_o their_o sin_n say_v with_o those_o bold_a ranter_n deut._n 29.19_o we_o shall_v have_v peace_n though_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o imagination_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n to_o add_v drunkenness_n to_o thirst_n and_o thus_o you_o break_v your_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o death_n and_o hell_n 2._o in_o obey_v the_o devil_n the_o world_n and_o sin_n and_o in_o disobey_v god_n you_o call_v god_n your_o father_n in_o heaven_n but_o you_o do_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o

the_o bond_n of_o your_o duty_n to_o your_o parent_n this_o appear_v in_o that_o those_o black_a character_n already_o give_v of_o wicked_a child_n be_v find_v on_o you_o whereunto_o i_o shall_v add_v this_o one_o which_o include_v all_o the_o particular_n of_o your_o disobedience_n which_o can_v be_v mention_v namely_o you_o do_v not_o love_v your_o parent_n for_o love_n work_v no_o evil_a unto_o but_o always_o will_v and_o seek_v the_o good_a of_o the_o belove_a love_v ever_o incline_v person_n to_o please_v they_o who_o they_o love_v and_o to_o love_n and_o delight_n in_o their_o company_n and_o cause_v such_o look_n and_o word_n and_o behaviour_n as_o be_v expression_n of_o love_n how_o pleasant_a have_v it_o be_v sometime_o to_o i_o to_o see_v as_o it_o be_v

for_o your_o other_o wicked_a child_n 4._o consider_v thou_o have_v great_a thing_n to_o affect_v thou_o with_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n than_o thy_o wicked_a child_n there_o be_v whole_a empire_n and_o kingdom_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o child_n who_o have_v as_o precious_a soul_n as_o thou_o or_o thy_o child_n these_o dishonour_n the_o same_o god_n and_o perish_v under_o his_o wrath_n and_o multitude_n that_o have_v the_o scripture_n and_o ordinance_n despise_v the_o same_o christ_n and_o the_o same_o gospel_n as_o thy_o child_n do_v and_o why_o shall_v thou_o be_v more_o concern_v for_o one_o or_o more_o of_o thy_o wicked_a child_n than_o for_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o lie_v in_o wickedness_n 5._o let_v your_o sorrow_n be_v guide_v by_o scripture_n and_o reason_n that_o you_o may_v not_o provoke_v god_n and_o defile_v your_o soul_n and_o wound_v your_o conscience_n by_o sinful_a groan_n and_o tear_n for_o this_o end_n observe_v two_o rule_n first_o mourn_v more_o for_o their_o sin_n whereby_o they_o provoke_v and_o dishonour_n god_n and_o defile_v and_o destroy_v themselves_o and_o other_o than_o for_o any_o shame_n or_o loss_n in_o worldly_a thing_n that_o befall_v you_o hereby_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o your_o child_n soul_n and_o not_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n have_v the_o great_a influence_n on_o your_o sorrow_n for_o i_o fear_v that_o there_o be_v usual_o in_o good_a parent_n too_o much_o of_o carnal_a sorrow_n and_o too_o little_a of_o godly_a sorrow_n in_o their_o mourning_n under_o this_o great_a calamity_n second_o let_v not_o thy_o sorrow_n disease_n thy_o body_n and_o impair_v thy_o health_n god_n do_v not_o require_v we_o to_o mourn_v more_o for_o our_o child_n sin_n than_o our_o own_o and_o he_o never_o make_v it_o our_o duty_n by_o sorrow_n for_o either_o to_o destroy_v our_o body_n which_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v the_o health_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o never_o hurt_v the_o body_n for_o grace_n be_v always_o a_o friend_n and_o never_o a_o enemy_n to_o nature_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o deprive_v thyself_o of_o all_o opportunity_n to_o honour_n god_n and_o serve_v his_o church_n do_v not_o make_v thy_o yoke-fellow_n desolate_a nor_o thy_o child_n orphan_n by_o such_o sorrow_n that_o will_v neither_o please_v god_n nor_o ease_v thyself_o nor_o do_v any_o good_a to_o thy_o wicked_a and_o miserable_a child_n 6._o labour_v to_o get_v your_o grace_n strengthen_v under_o this_o great_a affliction_n for_o you_o have_v need_n of_o more_o knowledge_n and_o wisdom_n and_o faith_n and_o hope_v and_o love_n and_o meekness_n and_o patience_n to_o enable_v and_o fit_v you_o to_o bear_v this_o than_o most_o other_o affection_n and_o you_o must_v see_v and_o enjoy_v more_o of_o god_n and_o christ_n to_o keep_v up_o your_o heart_n under_o this_o than_o under_o most_o other_o trouble_n yet_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o christ_n you_o may_v be_v enable_v not_o only_o to_o bear_v but_o to_o glory_n in_o this_o tribulation_n and_o the_o great_a the_o trouble_n be_v the_o more_o good_a you_o may_v gain_v by_o it_o 7._o comfort_v thyself_o in_o that_o the_o great_a and_o best_a thing_n which_o thou_o have_v most_o pray_v for_o and_o trust_v unto_o and_o expect_v and_o chief_o love_v

but_o a_o little_a while_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o know_v or_o can_v upon_o search_n find_v any_o thing_n that_o can_v lift_v up_o the_o heart_n above_o this_o trouble_n but_o the_o knowledge_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o infinite_a love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n to_o a_o man_n self_n and_o of_o that_o holy_a and_o glorious_a eternity_n which_o this_o love_n will_v short_o bring_v he_o unto_o to_o tell_v you_o that_o this_o be_v and_o have_v be_v the_o case_n of_o other_o godly_a parent_n may_v allay_v something_o of_o your_o grief_n but_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o tell_v you_o that_o

amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o to_o think_v they_o may_v be_v save_v or_o thy_o may_v be_v damn_v and_o there_o be_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o fear_v the_o one_o as_o to_o hope_v for_o the_o other_o
