that_o truth_n can_v tell_v where_o to_o find_v you_o can_v it_o but_o find_v you_o though_o in_o a_o goal_n or_o stock_n among_o harlot_n or_o any_o where_n in_o the_o dirty_a hole_n that_o can_v

the_o lord_n here_o i_o be_o and_o declare_v the_o very_a particular_a place_n where_o you_o lie_v and_o stick_v it_o be_v happy_a as_o a_o man_n in_o a_o mist_n when_o quite_o lose_v be_v glad_a to_o

wherein_o lie_v the_o conclusion_n of_o all_o and_o it_o be_v marvellous_a to_o consider_v how_o the_o work_n hang_v together_o a_o three_o reason_n why_o the_o father_n be_v merry_a be_v the_o safe_a return_n of_o his_o prodigal_n when_o the_o other_o son_n come_v out_o of_o the_o field_n and_o hear_v the_o music_n and_o dance_v he_o ask_v one_o of_o the_o servant_n what_o those_o thing_n mean_v why_o say_v he_o thy_o brother_n be_v come_v and_o thy_o father_n have_v kill_v for_o he_o the_o fat_a calf_n because_o he_o have_v receive_v he_o safe_a and_o sound_a and_o if_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v all_o will_v be_v a_o incomplete_a salvation_n still_o but_o while_o i_o speak_v the_o word_n i_o sigh_v to_o speak_v it_o shall_v we_o ever_o see_v the_o day_n to_o be_v thus_o adorn_v to_o have_v the_o best_a robe_n the_o shoe_n the_o ring_n and_o the_o fat_a calf_n to_o sit_v at_o the_o king_n table_n and_o have_v the_o presence_n and_o favour_n of_o the_o father_n to_o hear_v that_o

1._o because_o my_o son_n be_v dead_a and_o be_v alive_a again_o 2._o he_o be_v lose_v and_o be_v find_v and_o 3._o he_o have_v receive_v he_o safe_a and_o sound_a and_o this_o be_v wonderful_a that_o

etc._n and_o with_o remembrance_n of_o this_o also_o that_o he_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n let_v the_o guilty_a go_v free_a then_o be_v he_o make_v to_o give_v glory_n to_o his_o father_n this_o will_v be_v a_o strong_a tower_n where_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v safe_a 2._o to_o be_v safe_a be_v to_o be_v where_o no_o harm_n can_v come_v at_o he_o in_o time_n of_o trouble_n say_v david_n he_o shall_v hide_v i_o in_o his_o pavilion_n in_o the_o secret_a of_o his_o tabernacle_n shall_v he_o hide_v i_o psal_n 27.5_o a_o pavilion_n stand_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o army_n and_o what_o harm_n can_v touch_v one_o there_o to_o be_v in_o the_o city_n of_o refuge_n there_o the_o avenger_n of_o blood_n can_v come_v near_o now_o he_o be_v under_o the_o wing_n of_o his_o father_n no_o witchcraft_n nor_o enchantment_n can_v touch_v he_o and_o when_o ever_o god_n shall_v make_v such_o a_o fence_n about_o you_o your_o estate_n will_v be_v good_a indeed_o when_o thus_o fence_v about_o with_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o 3._o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v safe_a when_o he_o can_v run_v away_o to_o harm_n himself_o neither_o when_o god_n make_v this_o covenant_n with_o israel_n he_o say_v and_o i_o will_v make_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n with_o they_o that_o i_o will_v not_o turn_v away_o from_o they_o to_o do_v they_o good_a but_o will_v put_v my_o fear_n into_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_z i_o jer._n 32.40_o a_o man_n that_o be_v lock_v in_o the_o stock_n or_o in_o a_o gaol_n we_o use_v to_o say_v such_o a_o man_n be_v safe_a because_o he_o can_v get_v away_o so_o when_o god_n have_v put_v his_o fear_n into_o the_o heart_n it_o be_v make_v as_o a_o hook_n or_o anchor_n to_o the_o soul_n it_o can_v get_v away_o from_o he_o but_o happy_a be_v they_o who_o god_n will_v bring_v back_o again_o with_o the_o prodigal_n from_o the_o land_n of_o their_o captivity_n into_o his_o presence_n there_o be_v the_o place_n of_o rest_n and_o quiet_a there_o the_o father_n rejoice_v over_o his_o prodigal_n because_o he_o have_v receive_v he_o safe_a and_o sound_a to_o be_v sound_n have_v these_o thing_n considerable_a in_o it_o 1._o a_o thing_n that_o be_v sound_n may_v be_v consider_v thus_o to_o be_v without_o rottenness_n without_o fault_n firm_a and_o durable_a now_o the_o prodigal_n before_o his_o return_n have_v a_o heart_n with_o a_o taint_n in_o it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v wonderful_a if_o ever_o we_o shall_v be_v bring_v out_o clean_o spotless_a unblameable_a etc._n etc._n it_o be_v nothing_o to_o keep_v a_o man_n from_o steal_v when_o he_o can_v come_v at_o no_o prize_n but_o to_o have_v the_o babylonish_n garment_n and_o the_o wedge_n of_o gold_n lie_v before_o the_o soul_n and_o now_o not_o to_o have_v a_o achans_n heart_n to_o covet_v they_o here_o will_v be_v the_o trial_n o_o let_v i_o not_o taste_v of_o their_o dainty_n say_v david_n the_o time_n be_v he_o be_v envious_a at_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o now_o to_o see_v they_o prosper_v and_o enjoy_v their_o portion_n and_o yet_o not_o envy_v nor_o cover_v in_o nothing_o to_o be_v taint_v here_o will_v be_v the_o wonder_n but_o 2._o to_o be_v sound_n be_v to_o be_v complete_a and_o without_o deficiency_n as_o of_o a_o horse_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o service_n we_o say_v he_o be_v a_o sound_a horse_n sound_a wind_n and_o limb_n complete_a etc._n etc._n the_o prodigal_n come_v home_n complete_v as_o paul_n say_v that_o you_o may_v be_v whole_o complete_a in_o he_o not_o have_v any_o spot_n or_o blemish_n or_o any_o such_o thing_n and_o my_o beloved_n say_v the_o church_n be_v whole_o delectable_a complete_a in_o beauty_n o_o that_o my_o heart_n be_v so_o direct_v say_v david_n that_o i_o be_v sound_a in_o thy_o law_n o_o lord_n how_o far_o off_o be_v we_o
we_o lay_v if_o the_o lord_n step_v not_o in_o to_o help_v we_o out_o and_o whether_o this_o will_v ever_o be_v or_o not_o we_o know_v not_o and_o here_o we_o be_v make_v to_o own_o and_o bow_n and_o lie_v under_o our_o condition_n as_o undo_v person_n if_o mercy_n help_v not_o out_o thus_o we_o lay_v low_a for_o a_o time_n under_o this_o bond_n but_o soon_o as_o ever_o we_o hear_v a_o report_n of_o deliverance_n and_o be_v point_v out_o to_o it_o as_o john_n point_v to_o christ_n behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n here_o be_v one_o that_o can_v cure_v you_o and_o bring_v you_o out_o this_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n when_o a_o light_n come_v to_o show_v we_o this_o we_o present_o reach_v at_o it_o and_o call_v all_o our_o own_o and_o will_v not_o lie_v in_o our_o misery_n till_o he_o call_v we_o to_o come_v till_o the_o lord_n himself_o deliver_v we_o but_o think_v now_o that_o we_o see_v the_o medicine_n lie_v before_o we_o we_o be_v wise_a enough_o to_o take_v it_o and_o to_o cure_v ourselves_o we_o think_v we_o can_v now_o live_v of_o ourselves_o without_o be_v behold_v to_o god_n that_o our_o light_n and_o instruction_n into_o the_o truth_n that_o the_o sight_n of_o salvation_n have_v be_v enough_o and_o here_o we_o go_v out_o like_a prodigal_n till_o all_o be_v spend_v and_o poverty_n come_v upon_o we_o as_o a_o arm_a man_n we_o get_v out_o and_o promise_v ourselves_o liberty_n and_o ease_n as_o paul_n say_v of_o some_o who_o promise_v liberty_n themselves_o become_v the_o servant_n of_o corruption_n we_o be_v the_o far_o off_o

wound_v indeed_o with_o the_o wound_n of_o a_o cruel_a one_o when_o he_o rend_v and_o teer_n and_o go_v away_o then_o shall_v no_o heal_a medicine_n be_v find_v out_o when_o god_n come_v to_o a_o

what_o shall_v become_v of_o we_o for_o ever_o how_o our_o everlasting_a condition_n hang_v whether_o all_o we_o have_v all_o the_o strong_a reason_n and_o hope_n and_o conclusion_n from_o the_o

shall_v be_v but_o it_o be_v because_o the_o wound_n be_v not_o deep_a we_o have_v no_o sense_n to_o feel_v but_o be_v like_o a_o post_n in_o the_o wall_n but_o when_o he_o shall_v wound_v home_o indeed_o and_o strike_v the_o blow_n to_o the_o heart_n than_o it_o will_v seize_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o easy_a get_n from_o it_o then_o if_o ever_o we_o be_v cure_v the_o same_o hand_n must_v

etc._n etc._n and_o he_o will_v heal_v we_o now_o what_o way_n do_v the_o lord_n take_v to_o cure_v this_o wound_n 1._o the_o first_o way_n to_o cure_v a_o wound_n thorough_o be_v by_o remove_v the_o ill_a humour_n that_o feed_v and_o maintain_v the_o sore_a else_o all_o plaster_n and_o salve_n apply_v to_o heal_v be_v in_o vain_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n so_o god_n deal_v with_o the_o soul_n he_o go_v first_o to_o the_o root_n to_o stench_n the_o corrupt_a humour_n the_o bitter_a fountain_n that_o feed_v and_o supply_v all_o the_o stream_n sensse_n and_o reason_n they_o have_v be_v the_o

why_o have_v he_o bring_v we_o into_o this_o wilderness_n to_o destroy_v we_o who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n while_o these_o plead_n and_o reason_n live_v it_o be_v impossible_a our_o condition_n shall_v be_v mend_v these_o will_v fester_v and_o corrupt_v use_v what_o mean_v we_o will_v for_o heal_v therefore_o god_n promise_v i_o will_v heal_v their_o backslide_n that_o way_n he_o take_v when_o he_o intend_v a_o cure_n while_o we_o go_v about_o to_o cure_v ourselves_o and_o flee_v upon_o horse_n because_o they_o be_v swift_a so_o long_o the_o case_n grow_v worse_a with_o we_o the_o

else_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o pain_n will_v let_v nothing_o take_v place_n so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o soul_n sometime_o there_o be_v such_o a_o extremity_n of_o anguish_n that_o perplex_v and_o
