Wherein divers weighty cases are resolved in relation to all those particulars: delivered in divers sermons preached at Mildreds in Bread-street London, on Psalm 19. 12, 13.

from_o inequality_n in_o holy_a service_n a_o three_o case_n in_o which_o a_o man_n may_v fear_v his_o uprightness_n may_v be_v some_o inequality_n about_o holy_a service_n it_o go_v thus_o sometime_o a_o man_n find_v his_o heart_n much_o enlarge_v in_o duty_n yet_o other_o time_n much_o contract_v and_o straighten_a sometime_o he_o be_v full_a of_o life_n and_o quick_a affection_n yet_o other_o time_n he_o feel_v no_o active_a or_o lively_a disposition_n he_o can_v find_v no_o mind_n or_o heart_n almost_o insomuch_o that_o either_o he_o can_v do_v little_a or_o nothing_o and_o what_o be_v do_v by_o he_o be_v but_o do_v all_o cheerfulness_n and_o quickness_n seem_v to_o fall_v off_o like_o the_o green_a leaf_n from_o the_o tree_n so_o that_o nothing_o but_o a_o mere_a naked_a carcase_n of_o duty_n be_v act_v by_o he_o now_o the_o case_n be_v whither_o a_o man_n may_v be_v repute_v upright_o who_o many_o time_n find_v himself_o thus_o in_o his_o service_n this_o be_v a_o case_n which_o ordinary_o do_v perplex_v many_o a_o good_a heart_n how_o cunning_a be_v satan_n still_o to_o vex_v the_o soul_n if_o he_o can_v prevail_v with_o we_o to_o omit_v duty_n why_o then_o thou_o be_v plain_o wicked_a if_o the_o soul_n be_v less_o free_a and_o compliant_a in_o the_o duty_n why_o then_o it_o be_v secret_o hypocritical_a thus_o he_o ensnare_v we_o but_o to_o the_o resolution_n of_o the_o case_n thus_o uprightness_n answer_v all_o inequality_n in_o holy_a service_n conclude_v not_o against_o uprightness_n first_o all_o inequality_n in_o holy_a service_n do_v not_o conclude_v that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o upright_o look_v as_o the_o natural_a life_n have_v many_o space_n and_o as_o it_o be_v degree_n of_o latitude_n a_o man_n may_v be_v able_a to_o run_v &_o yet_o sometime_o be_v scarce_o able_a to_o go_v these_o motion_n you_o will_v say_v be_v unequal_a nevertheless_o the_o man_n live_v both_o under_o the_o one_o and_o under_o the_o other_o so_o may_v it_o be_v with_o the_o spiritual_a life_n for_o it_o have_v also_o its_o different_a and_o unequal_a space_n sometime_o a_o man_n may_v do_v his_o service_n all_o in_o joy_n other_o time_n all_o in_o tear_n sometime_o his_o will_n be_v great_a and_o performance_n answerable_a other_o time_n his_o will_n be_v dispose_v but_o he_o can_v act_v in_o any_o proportion_n yet_o his_o heart_n live_v upright_o in_o either_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v distinguish_v of_o inequality_n in_o holy_a service_n inequality_n dinguish_v of_o inequality_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o they_o some_o arise_v from_o weakness_n of_o strength_n other_o arise_v from_o falseness_n of_o heart_n you_o see_v a_o man_n sometime_o able_a to_o move_v a_o weight_n of_o a_o hundred_o pound_n at_o another_o time_n he_o be_v scarce_o able_a to_o lift_v a_o strength_n from_o weaknese_n of_o strength_n walk-ingstaffe_a why_o because_o his_o strength_n be_v fail_v and_o then_o no_o marvel_n that_o his_o action_n vary_v so_o it_o may_v be_v with_o a_o upright_a man_n god_n be_v please_v sometime_o to_o afford_v unto_o he_o a_o strong_a degree_n of_o heavenly_a assistance_n he_o clear_v his_o judgement_n inable_v his_o faith_n to_o apprehend_v and_o discern_v quicken_v his_o affection_n restrain_v satan_n put_v down_o the_o force_n of_o the_o inward_a contrariety_n why_o at_o such_o a_o time_n the_o soul_n be_v mighty_o active_a in_o the_o power_n of_o receive_v and_o confer_v strength_n at_o another_o time_n the_o wind_n slack_v and_o then_o no_o marvel_n the_o ship_n do_v not_o post_v so_o fast_o the_o spirit_n blow_v when_o and_o where_o &_o how_o he_o list_v there_o be_v not_o always_o such_o a_o communication_n of_o actual_a strength_n and_o then_o our_o desire_n may_v be_v great_a but_o our_o performance_n will_v be_v unequal_a and_o this_o observe_v by_o the_o way_n that_o if_o the_o inequality_n depend_v only_o on_o weakness_n of_o strength_n there_o the_o heart_n still_o keep_v its_o bent_n nay_o be_v most_o inward_o stir_v in_o desire_n and_o propension_n though_o it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v the_o good_a that_o it_o will_v but_o there_o be_v also_o inequality_n which_o arise_v from_o falseness_n of_o heart_n from_o falseness_n of_o heart_n heart_n as_o when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o ague_n which_o infect_v his_o humour_n or_o spirit_n or_o both_o he_o have_v one_o good_a day_n and_o another_o bad_a day_n or_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o land-flood_n this_o hour_n post_v in_o with_o such_o a_o high_a speed_n as_o if_o it_o will_v domineer_v over_o all_o the_o county_n and_o yet_o by_o and_o by_o it_o spend_v away_o itself_o there_o be_v no_o more_o of_o it_o to_o be_v see_v so_o it_o may_v be_v with_o a_o man_n who_o heart_n be_v false_a to_o god_n it_o may_v be_v with_o he_o thus_o he_o may_v have_v his_o mood_n his_o start_n one_o while_o like_o those_o accompany_v christ_n and_o magnify_v he_o with_o a_o hosanna_n in_o the_o high_a another_o while_n quite_o turn_v and_o cry_v out_o crucisie_n crucify_v he_o so_o here_o one_o day_n or_o week_n who_o but_o god_n and_o what_o but_o duty_n not_o a_o sermon_n miss_v not_o a_o prayer_n neglect_v yet_o on_o a_o sudden_a slow_a to_o hear_v careless_a to_o pray_v indifferent_a to_o any_o holy_a performance_n heart_n when_o inequality_n arise_v from_o falseness_n of_o heart_n now_o if_o the_o inequality_n arise_v from_o the_o falseness_n of_o heart_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o to_o observe_v this_o that_o it_o be_v ordinary_o in_o three_o case_n 1._o when_o the_o performance_n be_v attempt_v mere_o to_o compass_v some_o outward_a good_a a_o very_a hypocrite_n may_v take_v much_o pain_n for_o his_o own_o end_n of_o honour_n profit_n pleasure_n etc._n etc._n 2._o when_o the_o performance_n be_v attempt_v mere_o to_o remove_v some_o inward_a or_o outward_a evil_n as_o pang_n of_o conscience_n within_o or_o shame_n and_o censure_n without_o 3._o when_o the_o old_a lust_n be_v return_v to_o new_a strength_n the_o bitterness_n of_o death_n be_v off_o or_o the_o like_a and_o now_o the_o heart_n return_v to_o its_o former_a haunt_n and_o natural_a bent_n to_o the_o love_n and_o practice_v of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o sin_n which_o will_v easy_o beget_v and_o declare_v a_o inequality_n duty_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o inequality_n about_o holy_a duty_n in_o duty_n for_o love_n and_o practice_v of_o sin_n will_v either_o make_v all_o duty_n to_o cease_v or_o any_o method_n of_o duty_n to_o stagger_v and_o change_v 2._o observe_v that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o inequality_n about_o holy_a service_n some_o respect_n the_o will_n and_o actum_fw-la elicitum_fw-la as_o the_o schoolman_n speak_v the_o first_o springing_n of_o it_o its_o secret_a inclining_n and_o motion_n other_o respect_v the_o exercise_n or_o fact_n and_o actum_fw-la imperatum_fw-la as_o they_o call_v it_o from_o these_o i_o infer_v two_o conclusion_n viz._n 1._o that_o inequality_n of_o holy_a service_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o exercise_n or_o fact_n may_v consist_v with_o uprightness_n v._o g._n a_o man_n one_o day_n may_v uprightness_n the_o inequality_n of_o holy_a service_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o exercise_n may_v consist_v with_o uprightness_n be_v able_a to_o find_v word_n more_o ready_o and_o abundant_o in_o prayer_n and_o livelihood_n in_o his_o affection_n then_o at_o another_o time_n and_o yet_o be_v true_o upright_a look_v as_o a_o preacher_n may_v be_v able_a to_o study_v and_o to_o preach_v one_o day_n better_o than_o another_o and_o a_o tradseman_n to_o follow_v his_o particular_a call_v yet_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v true_o upright_a in_o their_o particular_a call_v so_o i_o say_v of_o the_o express_v and_o external_a act_n which_o respect_v the_o course_n of_o our_o general_a calling_n &c_n &c_n 2._o that_o intrinsical_a inequality_n those_o in_o the_o will_n and_o purpose_n uprightness_n inequality_n in_o the_o will_n and_o purpose_n thereof_o argue_v defect_n of_o uprightness_n thereof_o argue_v defect_n of_o uprightness_n when_o a_o man_n will_n be_v one_o while_o strong_o purpose_v for_o duty_n and_o by_o and_o by_o it_o be_v total_o bend_v and_o set_v for_o sin_n here_o the_o inequality_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o division_n of_o the_o heart_n which_o be_v hypocrisy_n and_o falseness_n 3._o cheerfulness_n or_o uncheerfulness_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o duty_n way_n cheerfulness_n or_o uncheerfulness_n in_o duty_n be_v not_o infallible_a symptom_n etiher_n way_n be_v not_o infallible_a symptom_n either_o way_n by_o cheerfulness_n i_o mean_v the_o liberty_n or_o freedom_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o by_o uncheerfulness_n the_o sadness_n heaviness_n or_o dulness_n of_o they_o as_o it_o may_v be_v a_o
