madness_n for_o if_o patience_n suffer_v any_o thing_n it_o come_v of_o a_o certain_a desperation_n as_o when_o a_o man_n thus_o think_v with_o himself_o all_o that_o i_o suffer_v be_v but_o in_o vain_a this_o patience_n be_v turn_v into_o fury_n and_o be_v oppress_v with_o desperation_n ▪_o but_o christian_a patience_n will_v not_o suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v oppress_v but_o continual_o take_v hold_v upon_o hope_n whereby_o at_o length_n it_o prevail_v and_o get_v the_o victory_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n not_o to_o be_v discourage_v with_o such_o trouble_n as_o daily_o happen_v in_o matter_n pertain_v to_o the_o common_a course_n of_o this_o life_n but_o patient_o to_o endure_v those_o affliction_n which_o david_n by_o his_o own_o example_n show_v that_o christian_n which_o have_v already_o receive_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n must_v suffer_v to_o have_v a_o steadfast_a hope_n in_o the_o bitter_a vexation_n of_o sin_n and_o accusation_n of_o conscience_n and_o patient_o to_o suffer_v all_o other_o affliction_n wherewith_o satan_n vex_v and_o torment_v the_o believe_a heart_n this_o be_v in_o deed_n a_o divine_a and_o a_o heavenly_a virtue_n and_o such_o a_o conflict_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v unto_o it_o a_o incorruptible_a crown_n of_o glory_n now_o ensue_v a_o exhortation_n that_o we_o shall_v follow_v this_o example_n of_o david_n and_o embrace_v this_o doctrine_n verse_n 7._o let_v israel_n wait_v on_o the_o lord_n for_o with_o the_o lord_n be_v mercy_n and_o with_o he_o be_v plentiful_a redemption_n this_o be_v in_o deed_n a_o golden_a verse_n worthy_a to_o be_v know_v and_o well_o understand_v wherein_o david_n wish_v and_o exhort_v all_o man_n by_o his_o example_n whole_o to_o rest_n and_o to_o continue_v in_o a_o sure_a hope_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god._n gift_n for_o faith_n be_v not_o so_o light_o to_o be_v esteem_v as_o the_o papist_n teach_v which_o dream_v that_o faith_n be_v a_o quality_n remain_v in_o the_o heart_n with_o the_o which_o the_o heart_n after_o it_o can_v once_o number_v these_o syllable_n i_o believe_v in_o god_n pass_v on_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o sleep_n for_o they_o that_o have_v no_o experience_n of_o those_o conflict_n which_o faith_n must_v endure_v do_v but_o laugh_v we_o to_o scorn_v when_o we_o say_v that_o faith_n be_v a_o principal_a virtue_n wherewith_o only_o and_o alone_o we_o be_v justify_v deliver_v from_o sin_n hell_n death_n and_o damnation_n for_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o wise_a man_n ●aith_o a_o fool_n understand_v not_o except_o you_o talk_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o his_o own_o heart_n these_o thing_n therefore_o which_o we_o attribute_v unto_o faith_n they_o ascribe_v unto_o charity_n &_o prefer_v charity_n above_o faith_n but_o if_o faith_n be_v set_v forth_o right_o &_o in_o her_o own_o colour_n it_o far_o excel_v charity_n charity_n for_o behold_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n it_o fight_v alone_o before_o god_n against_o satan_n who_o never_o rest_v but_o war_v against_o faith_n continual_o and_o that_o even_o concern_v death_n and_o life_n everlasting_a concern_v sin_n and_o the_o accusation_n of_o the_o law_n concern_v grace_n and_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n now_o if_o with_o faith_n you_o compare_v charity_n who_o office_n be_v to_o be_v exercise_v in_o relieve_v the_o misery_n and_o calamity_n of_o man_n whether_o they_o have_v need_n of_o comfort_n or_o succour_v in_o mind_n or_o in_o body_n who_o see_v not_o how_o far_o faith_n excel_v charity_n for_o how_o great_a a_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o god_n &_o man_n between_o corporal_a necessity_n &_o eternal_a death_n these_o be_v therefore_o the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n even_o in_o the_o great_a danger_n to_o fight_v continual_o against_o satan_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o our_o ●ruel_a enemy_n will_v give_v we_o no_o breathe_n no_o time_n of_o rest_n wherefore_o albeit_o the_o charity_n be_v not_o only_o a_o goodly_a virtue_n but_o also_o extend_v far_o in_o comparison_n of_o other_o moral_a virtue_n yet_o be_v faith_n without_o all_o comparison_n a_o far_o more_o excellent_a &_o heavenly_a virtue_n whether_o you_o consider_v y_fw-fr object_n thereof_o or_o other_o cause_n faith_n for_o this_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n when_o the_o heart_n feel_v that_o death_n be_v overcome_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n that_o sin_n also_o be_v put_v away_o &_o the_o law_n abolish_v by_o grace_n and_o mercy_n these_o thing_n be_v of_o themselves_o most_o certain_a yet_o such_o be_v our_o infirmity_n that_o we_o can_v no_o certain_o apprehend_v they_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v terrify_v with_o the_o cogitation_n of_o death_n and_o sin_n but_o if_o this_o hope_n and_o trust_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_a no_o heaviness_n shall_v ever_o oppress_v the_o believe_a heart_n therefore_o david_n use_v this_o exhortation_n that_o israel_n after_o it_o have_v once_o obtain_v this_o mercy_n hope_n shall_v still_o persevere_v in_o wait_v on_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o suffer_v this_o trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v wrest_v from_o he_o and_o here_o he_o have_v respect_n to_o that_o great_a conflict_n wherein_o the_o mind_n oppress_v with_o calamity_n begin_v to_o doubt_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o this_o conflict_n because_o the_o mind_n do_v not_o so_o soon_o feel_v those_o comfort_n which_o the_o word_n promise_v and_o faith_n believe_v as_o it_o will_v do_v it_o be_v ready_a to_o despair_v against_o this_o tentation_n david_n arm_v we_o and_o warn_v we_o to_o be_v mindful_a that_o we_o must_v wait_v on_o the_o lord_n and_o never_o depart_v from_o the_o word_n or_o believe_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o word_n and_o he_o show_v the_o cause_n why_o for_o with_o the_o lord_n say_v he_o be_v mercy_n he_o the_o flesh_n in_o tentation_n and_o affliction_n think_v that_o with_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o wrath_n the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o comfort_v we_o and_o go_v about_o to_o pluck_v this_o opinion_n out_o of_o our_o heart_n &_o pronounce_v that_o there_o be_v mercy_n and_o goodness_n with_o the_o lord_n if_o we_o can_v but_o only_o wait_v on_o the_o lord_n and_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o he_o this_o testimony_n of_o conscience_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o have_v great_a need_n of_o for_o if_o we_o follow_v our_o own_o sense_n we_o shall_v be_v deceive_v and_o find_v in_o ourselves_o the_o contrary_n but_o we_o may_v not_o judge_v of_o these_o matter_n according_a to_o our_o own_o sense_n or_o as_o we_o feel_v in_o ourselves_o but_o we_o must_v stand_v to_o the_o word_n and_o thus_o think_v with_o ourselves_o that_o these_o be_v matter_n of_o faith_n and_o not_o of_o our_o own_o sense_n and_o feeling_n for_o to_o believe_v be_v not_o to_o feel_v not_o because_o these_o thing_n shall_v never_o be_v feel_v which_o we_o now_o believe_v but_o because_o faith_n must_v go_v before_o feeling_n and_o experience_n and_o we_o must_v believe_v the_o word_n although_o we_o feel_v in_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o judgement_n never_o so_o much_o to_o the_o contrary_n as_o when_o our_o heart_n oppress_v with_o calamity_n do_v think_v god_n to_o be_v angry_a with_o we_o not_o to_o care_v for_o we_o but_o to_o hate_v we_o then_o faith_n clean_a contrary_n must_v thus_o assure_v itself_o that_o with_o god_n there_o be_v neither_o anger_n nor_o hatred_n that_o he_o neither_o think_v of_o punishment_n nor_o offence_n but_o although_o he_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v afflict_v yet_o he_o do_v it_o not_o to_o the_o end_n to_o destroy_v we_o for_o with_o he_o say_v the_o psalm_n be_v mercy_n therefore_o he_o be_v mindful_a of_o we_o to_o do_v we_o good_a to_o deliver_v we_o from_o danger_n to_o mortify_v our_o sin_n and_o to_o increase_v his_o other_o good_a gift_n in_o we_o if_o these_o thing_n happen_v not_o to_o the_o wicked_a what_o marvel_n be_v it_o for_o either_o they_o believe_v not_o or_o else_o if_o they_o do_v they_o continue_v not_o wherefore_o let_v we_o that_o believe_v with_o faith_n join_v hope_v also_o so_o that_o albeit_o our_o own_o sense_n and_o heart_n shall_v work_v never_o so_o much_o against_o we_o and_o that_o god_n shall_v seem_v never_o so_o sharp_a a_o enemy_n in_o punish_v we_o yet_o let_v we_o not_o yield_v so_o much_o to_o our_o own_o sense_n and_o feeling_n as_o to_o the_o write_a word_n and_o to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o pronounce_v that_o with_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v mercy_n who_o love_v we_o &_o seek_v to_o do_v we_o good_a this_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o we_o shall_v think_v yea_o most_o assure_o believe_v 5.3_o that_o with_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v no_o anger_n but_o if_o any_o calamity_n
