suitable_a to_o every_o condition_n let_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n dwell_v in_o you_o rich_o that_o so_o when_o a_o temptation_n come_v you_o may_v have_v a_o word_n suitable_a at_o hand_n and_o

a_o hand_n of_o weakness_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o desertion_n and_o temptation_n it_o be_v a_o great_a relief_n to_o a_o poor_a soul_n to_o consider_v the_o infirmity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o left_a hand_n be_v under_o our_o head_n then_o as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v enlarge_v in_o heart_n it_o be_v good_a to_o consider_v of_o christ_n example_n that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v humble_v under_o his_o enlargement_n so_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o desertion_n or_o temptation_n it_o be_v good_a for_o to_o think_v of_o christ_n infirmity_n that_o so_o he_o may_v not_o be_v overwhelm_v

tempt_v a_o man_n to_o think_v it_o be_v no_o temptation_n so_o long_o as_o a_o poor_a soul_n think_v it_o be_v but_o a_o temptation_n his_o heart_n be_v bear_v up_o with_o comfort_n and_o he_o say_v it_o be_v but_o a_o temptation_n and_o it_o will_v be_v over_o short_o and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v pity_v i_o for_o it_o be_v but_o a_o temptation_n and_o so_o his_o heart_n be_v bear_v

then_o his_o heart_n fail_v and_o his_o faith_n fail_v therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o if_o a_o temptation_n come_v do_v conclude_v it_o be_v no_o temptation_n but_o say_v oh_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v a_o temptation_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v wait_v on_o god_n five_o if_o temptation_n come_v answ_n 5_o remember_v thy_o own_o soul_n of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n with_o thou_o god_n way_n

a_o outlet_a some_o breathe_a time_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o temptation_n five_o and_o last_o as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n live_v for_o ever_o to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o so_o

this_o great_a question_n the_o answer_n whereof_o be_v of_o concernment_n every_o day_n among_o you_o you_o know_v there_o the_o three_o act_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n whereby_o a_o soul_n do_v rely_v upon_o god_n in_o christ_n there_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o assurance_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v persuade_v of_o god_n love_n towards_o he_o and_o his_o love_n to_o

christ_n i_o shall_v now_o spend_v some_o time_n and_o show_v you_o how_o satan_n strike_v at_o all_o these_o faith_n and_o withal_o labour_v to_o show_v you_o how_o we_o may_v bare_v off_o his_o blow_n that_o so_o we_o may_v stand_v in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n and_o our_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v first_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n satan_n do_v sometime_o strike_v at_o the_o faith_n of_o reliance_n in_o the_o saint_n by_o hide_v from_o they_o their_o former_a experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o they_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n have_v the_o sight_n and_o view_v of_o his_o experience_n of_o god_n gracious_a deal_n with_o he_o before_o he_o do_v rely_v on_o god_n and_o he_o say_v i_o will_v for_o ever_o rest_n upon_o god_n and_o rely_v upon_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o thus_o and_o thus_o he_o have_v deal_v with_o the_o i_o heretofore_o now_o therefore_o satan_n do_v labour_n in_o the_o time_n of_o temptation_n to_o hide_v the_o experience_n of_o the_o saint_n from_o they_o and_o so_o do_v strike_v at_o their_o faith_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v their_o faith_n fail_v but_o then_o how_o shall_v we_o bear_v off_o this_o blow_n quest_n thus_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o never_o rest_v upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o answ_n 1_o or_o only_o because_o of_o your_o experience_n but_o rather_o deal_v with_o your_o experience_n because_o of_o the_o promise_n it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o come_v up_o to_o the_o promise_n by_o the_o ladder_n of_o experience_n but_o it_o be_v better_a for_o a_o man_n to_o go_v down_o to_o the_o promise_n by_o his_o experience_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 106._o psalm_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o a_o man_n do_v rest_n upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o

soon_o forget_v his_o work_n they_o wait_v not_o for_o his_o counsel_n so_o that_o i_o say_v take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v rest_n upon_o the_o promise_n bare_o and_o only_o because_o of_o your_o
