Devices

IN
the
fifth
Verse
,
the
Apostle
shews
,
that
the
incestuous
person
had
by
his
incest
,
sadded
those
precious
souls
that
God
would
not
have
sadded
;
soules
that
walk
sinfully
are
Hazaels
to
the
godly
,
and
draw
many
sighes
and
tears
from
them
;
Jeremy
weepes
in
secret
for
Judah's
sins
,
and
Paul
cannot
speak
of
those

Gracious
soules
use
to
mourne
for
other
mens
sins
as
well
as
their
owne
,
and
for
their
soules
In
the
sixth
Verse
,
he
shewes
,
that
the
punishment
that
was
inflicted
upon
the
incestuous
person
was
sufficient
,
and
therefore
they
should
not
refuse
to
receive
him
,
who
had
repented
,
and
sorrowed
for
his
former
faults
and
follies
.
'T
is
not
for
the
honour
of
Christ
,
the
credit
of
the
Gospel
,
nor
the
good
of
soules
,
for
Professors
to
be
like
those
In
the
7
,
8
,
9
,
and
10
Verses
,
the
Apostle
stirres
up
the
Church
to
forgive
him
,
to
comfort
him
,
and
to
confirme
their
love
towards
him
,
lest
he
should
be
swallowed
up
with
over
much
sorrow
,
Satan
going
about
to
mix
the
detestable
darnell
of
desperation
with
the
godly
sorrow
of
a
pure
penitent
heart
.
It
was
a
sweet
saying
of
one
,
Let
a
man
Doleat
&
de
dolore

,
Jerome
.
grieve
for
his
sin
,
and
then
joy
for
his
grief
;
that
sorrow
for
sin
that
keeps
the
soule
from
looking
towards
the
Mercie-Seat
,
and
that
keeps
Christ
and
the
soul
asunder
,
or
that
shall
render
the
soule
unfit
for
the
communion
of
Saints
,
is
a
sinfull
sorrow
.
In
the
eleventh
Verse
,
he
layes
down
another
reason
to
work
them
to
shew
pity
and
mercy
to
the
penitent
sinner
,
that
was
mourning
and
groaning
under
his
sin
and
misery
,

Lest
Satan
should
get
an
advantage
of
us
:
for
we
are
not

his
Devices
.
A
little
for
the
opening
of
the
words
.
Lest
Satan
should
get
an
advantage
of
us
,
For
we
are
not
ignorant
of
Satans
devices
,
or
plots
,
or
machinations
,
or
stratagems
;
The
maine
Observation
that
I
shall
draw
from
these
words
,
is
this
.
That
Satan
hath
his
severall
devices
to
deceive
,
intangle
,
and
undoe
the
souls
of
men
.
I
shall
first
prove
the
point
,
and
secondly
shew
you
his
severall
Devices
;
and
thirdly
the
Remedies
against
his
Devices
;
and
fourthly
,
how
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
he
hath
so
many
severall
Devices
to
deceive
,
intangle
,
and
undoe
the
soules
of
men
.
Fifthly
,
I
shall
lay
downe
some
Propositions
concerning
Satan
,
and
his
Devices
.
For
the
proofe
of
the
point
,
take
these
few
Scriptures
.
Ephes.

Put
on
the
whole
armour
of
God
,
that
ye

able
to

the
wiles
of

Devil
.
The
Greek
word
1.
It
signifies
such
snares
as
are
laid
behind
one
,
such
treacheries
as
come
upon
ones
back
at
unawares
.
It
notes
the
methods
,
or
way-layings
of
that
old
subtile
Serpent
,
who
,
like
Pans
adder
in
the
path
,
biteth
the
heels
of
passengers
,
and
thereby
transfuseth
his
venome
to
the
head
and
heart
;
the
word
signifies
an
ambushment
,
or
stratagem
of
War
,
whereby
the
enemy
sets
upon
a
man
ex
ins●diis
,
at
unawares
.

It
signifies
such
snares
as
are
set
to

It
signifies
such
as
are
purposely
,
artificially
,
and
craftily
set
for
the
taking
the
prey
at
the
greatest
advantage
that
can
be
;
the

derived
from

,
signifies
properly
a
way-laying
,
circumvention
,
or
going
about
,
as
they
doe
which
seek
after
their
prey
.
Julian
by
his
craft
,
drew
more
from
the
Faith
,
then
all
his
persecuting
Predecessors
could
doe
by
their
cruelty
.
So
doth
Satan
more
hurt
in
his
sheepskin
,
then
by
roaring
like
a
Lyon
.
Take
one
Scripture
more
for
the
proof
of
the
point
,
and
that
is
in
the
second
of
Timothy
,
the
second
chapter
,
and
the
last
verse
,
And
that
they
may
recover
themselves
out
of
the
snare
of
the
devil
,
who
are
taken
captive
by
him
at
his
will
.
The
Greek
word
that
is
here
rendred
recover
themselves
,
signifies
to
awake
taken
captive
,
signifies
to
be
taken
alive
;
v.

this
Doctrine
,
and
which
have
not
knowne
the
depths
of
Satan
,
as
they
speake
,
I
will
put
upon
you
no
other
burden
,
but
to
hold
fast
till
I
come
.
Those
poore
soules
called
their
opinions
the
depths
of
God
,
when
indeed
they
were
the
depths
of
Satan
;
you
call
your
opinions
depths
,
and
so
they
are
,
but
they
are
such
depths
as
Satan
hath
brought
out
of
Hell
,
they
are
the
whisperings
and
hissings
of
that
Serpent
,
not
the
inspirations
of
God
.
Now
the
second
thing
that
I
am
to
shew
you
,
is
his
severall
Devices
,
and
herein
I
shall
first
shew
you
the
severall
Devices
that
he
hath
to
draw

soule

I
shall
instance

these
twelve

he
hides

the

the

and
the
losse
that
would
certainly
follow
.
There
is
an
opening
of
the
eyes
of
the
mind
to
contemplation
and
joy
,
and
there
is
an
opening
of
the
eyes
of
the
body
to
shame
and
confusion
.
He
promiseth
them
the
former
,
but
intends
the
latter
,
and
so
cheats
them
,
giving
them
an
Apple
in
exchange
for
Paradise
,

he
deales

adayes

Satan
with
ease
puts
fallacies
upon
us
,
and
then
,
by
his
golden
baites
,
leads
us
,
and
leaves
us
in
a
fools
Paradise
;
he
promises
the
soule
honour
,
pleasure
and
profit
,
&c.
but
paye's
the
soule
with
the
greatest
contempt
,
shame
,
and
losse
that
can
be
;
by
a
golden
bait
he
laboured
to
catch

the
Remedies
against

are

Austin
writing
upon
John
,
tells
a
story
of
a
certaine
man
,
that
was
of
an
opinion
,
that
the
Devill
did
make
the
flye
,
and
not
God
;
saith
one
to
him
,
if
the
Devill
made
flies
,
then
the
Devill
made
wormes
,
and
God
did
not
make
them
;
for
they
are
living
creatures
,
as
well
as
flies
;
true
said
he
,
the
Devil
did
make
wormes
;
but
said
the
other
,
if
the
Devil
did
make
wormes
,
then
he
made
birds
,
beasts
,
and
man
;
he
granted
all
:
thus
saith
Austin
,
by
denying
God
in
the
fly
,
he
came
to
deny
God
in
man
,
and
to
deny
the
whole
Creation
;
by
all
this
we
see
,
that
the
yeelding
to
lesser
sins
,
drawes
the
soul
to
the
committing
of
greater
;
Ah!

he

have
chosen

to

worst
of

,
rather
then
they
would
commit
the
least
sin
,
i.

such
as
the

accounts
:
so
as
you
may
see
in
Daniel
,
and
his
Companions
,
that
would
rather
chuse
to
burne
,
and
be
cast
to
the
Lions
,
then
they
would
bow
to
the
Image
that
Nebuchadnezzer
had
set
up
:
when
this
peccadillo
(
in
the
worlds
account
)
and
a
hot
fiery
furnace
stood
in
competition
,
that
they
must
either
fall
into
sin
,
or
be
cast
into
the
Marcus
Arethusius
,
Minister
of
a
Church
in
the
time
of
Constantine
,
who
in
Constantines
time
,
had
been
the
cause
of
overthrowing
an
Idols
Temple
;
afterwards
,
when
Julian
came
to
be
Emperour
,
he
would
force
the
people
of
that
place
to
build
it
up
again
,
they
were
ready
to
doe
it
,
but
he
refused
;
whereupon
,
those
that
were
his
owne
people
,
to
whom
he
preached
,
took
him
,
and
stript
him
of
all
his
cloaths
,
and
abused
his
naked
body
,
and
gave
it
up
to
the
Children
,
to
lance
it
with
their
pen-knives
,
and
then
caused
him
to
be
put
in
a
basket
,
and
anointed
his
naked
body
with
Honey
,
and
set
him
in
the
Sun
,
to
be
stung
with
Wasps
;
and
all
this
cruelty
they
shewed
,
because
he
would
not
doe
any
thing
toward
the
building
up
of
this
Idol-Temple
;
nay
,
they
came
to
this
,
that
if
he
would
doe
but
the
least
towards
it
,
if
he
would
give
but
a
halfe-penny
to
it
,
they
would
save
him
;
but
he
refused
all
,
though
the
giving
of
a
half-penny
might
have
saved
his
life
;
and
in
doing
this
,
he
did
but
live
up
to
that
principle
that
most
Christians
talk
of
,
and
all
professe
,
but
few
come
up
to
it
,
viz.
That
we
must
choose
rather
to
suffer
the
worst
of
Torments
that
men
and
Devils
can
invent
,
and
inflict
,
then
to
commit
the
least
sin
,
whereby
God
should
be
dishonoured
,
our
consciences
wounded
,
Religion
reproached
,
and
our
own
souls
endangered
.
The
sixt
Remedy
against
this
Device
This
is
the
finger
of
God
:
When
little
Mr
Perkins
mentions
a
good
man
,
but
very
poor
,
who
being
ready
to
starve
,
stole
a
Lamb
,
and
being
about
to
eat
it
,
with
his
poor
children
,
and
(
as
his
manner
was
afore
meat
)
to
crave
a
blessing
,
durst
not
doe
it
;
but
fell
into
a
great
perplexity
of
Conscience
,
acknowledged
his
fault
to
the
owner
,
promising
payment
if
ever
he
should
be
able
.
The
seventh
Remedy
against
this
Device
,
The
wages
of
sin
is
death
,
of
sin
indefinitely
,
whether
great
or
small
;
Oh!
how
should
this
make
us
tremble
,
as
much
at
the
least
spark
of
lust
,
as
at
hell
it selfe
?
Considering
that
God
the
Father
would
not
spare
his
bosome
Son
,
no
,
not
for
the
least
sin
;
but
would
make
him
drink
the
dregs
of
his
wrath
.
And
so
much
for
the
Remedies
that
may
fence
and
preserve
our
souls
from
being
drawn
to
sin
,
by
this

Blot

and
cleanse
me
from

for
I
acknowledge

'T

Hezekia●'s
heart
was
lifted
up
,
under
the
abundance
of
mercy
,
that
God
had
cast
in
upon
him
;
and
't
is
as
true
,
that
Hezekia●
humbled
himselfe
,
for
the
pride
of
his
heart
:
so
that
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
came
not
upon
him
,
nor
upon
Jerusalem
,
in
the
dayes
of
Hezekiah
.
'T
is
true
,
Job

day
of

Birth

and
't
is

that

by
repentance

I

shall
I
answer

?
I

Peter
fals
dreadfully
,
but
rises
by
repentance
sweetly
;
a
look
of
love
from
Christ
,
melts
him
into
tears
;
he
knew
that
repentance
was
the
key
to
the
Kingdome
of
Grace
.
As
once
his
Faith
was
so
great
,
that
he
leapt
,
as
it
were
,
into
a
sea
of
waters
,
to
come
to
Christ
:
so
now
his
repentance
was
so
great
,
that
he
leapt
,
as
it
were
,
into
a
sea
of
tears
,

,
but
thy
heart
turns
aside
to
folly
every
day
,
and
when
they
were
fallen
,
they
rise
by
repentance
,
and
by
the
actings
of
Faith
upon
a
crucified
Christ
,
but
thou
fallest
,
and
hast
no
strength
,
nor
will
to

but
wallowest
in
sin
,
and
wilt
eternally
dye
in
thy

,
unlesse
the
Lord
be
the
more
mercifull
to
thy

Dost
thou
think
,
oh
soule
,
this
is
good
reasoning
?
Such
a
one
tasted
poyson
but
once
,
and
yet
narrowly
escapt
,
but
I
doe
daily
drink
poyson
,
yet
I
shall
escape
:
yet
such
is
the
mad
reasoning
of
vaine
soules
;
David
and
Peter
,
&c.
sinned
once
foully
and
fearfully
,
they
tasted
poyson
but
once
,
and
were
sick
to
death
,
but
I
tast
it
daily
,
and
yet
shall
not

death
.
Remember
,
oh
souls
,
that
the
day
is
at

,
when
self-flatterers
will
be
found
self-deceivers
,
yea

The

to
Psalm
51.
8.
Josephus
reports
,
that
not
long
after
the
Jews
had
crucified
Christ
on
the
crosse
,
so
many
of
them
were
condemned
to
be
crucified
,
that
there
were
not
places
enough
for
crosses
,
nor
crosses
enough
for
the
bodies
that
were
to
be
hung
thereon
hear
joy
and
gladnesse
,
that
the
bones
which
thou
hast
broken
,
may
rejoyce
.
And
because
thou
host
do●e
this
,
the
Sword
shall
not
depart
from
thy
house
,
to
the
day
of
thy
death
.
Though
God
will
not
utterly
take
from
them
his
loving
kindnesse
,
nor
suffer
his
faithfullnesse
to
faile
,
nor
breake
his
Covenant
,
nor
alter
the
thing
that
is
gone
out
of
his
mouth
,
yet
will
he
visit
their
transgressions
with
a
rod
,
and
their
iniquity
with
stripes
,
Psal.

The
Scripture
abounds
with
instances
of
this
kind
;
this
is
so
known
a
truth
,
among
all
that
know
any
thing
of
truth
,
that
to
cite
more
Scriptures
to
prove
it
,
would
be
to
light
a
Candle
to
see
the
Sun
at
noon
.
The
Jewes
have
a
Proverb
,
that
There
is
no
punishment
comes
upon
Israel
,
in
which
there
is
not
one
ounce
of
the
Golden
Calfe
:
Meaning
,
that
that
was
so
great
a
sin
,
as
that
in
every
plague
God
remembred
it
,
that
had
an
influence
into
every
trouble
that
befell
them
.
Every
mans
heart
may
say
to
him
in
his
sufferings
,
as
the
heart
of
Apollodorus
I
have
been
the
cause
of
this
.
God
is
most
angry
,
when
he
shewes
no
anger
,
God
keep
me
from
this
mercy
;
this
kind
of
mercy
is
worse
then
I
account
it
a
part
of
unhappinesse
not
to
know
adversity
,
I
judge
you
to
be
miserable
,
because
you
have
not
been
miserable
.
'T
is
mercy
that
our
affliction
is
not
an
execution
,
but
a
correction
;
he
that
hath
deserved
hanging
,
may
be
glad
if
he
scape
with
a
whipping
.
Gods
corrections
are
our
instructions
,
his
lashes
our
lessons
,
his

because
the
latter
is
the
true
Smart
makes

,
and

gives

whence
Luther
fitly
calls
affliction
,
The

mans
Divinity
:
Job
(

)
God
speaketh
once
,
yea
twice
,
yet
man
perceiveth
it
not
,
in
a
dream
,
in
a
vision
of
the
night
,
when
deep
sleep
falleth
upon
men
,
in
slumbrings
upon
the
Bed
:
then
he
openeth
the
ears
of
men
,
and
sealeth
their
instruction
,
that
he
may
withdraw
man
from
his
purpose
,
and
hide
pride
from
man
:
he
keepeth
back
his
soule
from
the
pit
,
and
his
life
from
perishing
by
the
sword
.
When
Satan
shall
tell
thee
of
other
mens
sins
,
to
draw
thee
to
sin
,
doe
thou
then
think
of
the
same
mens
sufferings
,
to
keep
thee
from
sin
;
lay
thy
hand
upon
thy
heart
,
and
say
oh
my
soul
,
if
thou
sinnest
with
David
,
thou
must
suffer
with

you

a

the
Remedies

are
these

THe
first
Remedy
is
,
seriously
to
consider
,
i.
e.
It
is
a
humane
thing
to
fall
into
sin
,
a
dive●ish
to
persevere
therein
,
and
an
Angellcal
or
supernatural

rise
from

and
doth
not
resist
thee
in
thy
sins
;
woe
,
woe
to
him
,
at
whose
sins
God
doth
wink
:
when
God
lets
the
way
to
Hell
be
a
smooth
and
pleasant
way
,
that
is
hell
on
this
side
hell
,
and
a
dreadfull
signe
of
Gods
indignation
against
a
man
;
a
token
of
his
rejection
,
and
that
God
doth
not
intend
good
unto
him
;
that
is
a
sad
word
,
Ephraim
is
joyned
to
Idols
,
let
him
alone
,
he
will
be
uncounsellable
,
and
uncorrigible
,
he
hath
made
a
match
with
mischiefe
,
he
shall
have
his
belly-full
of
it
,
he
falls
with
open
eyes
,
let
him
fall
at
his
owne
perrill
;
and
that
's
a
terrible
saying
,
So
I
gave
them
up
unto
their
own
hearts

and
they
walked
in
their
owne
counsels

this

let
him

with
me
what
seems
good
in

doe
any

The
third
Remedy
against
this
Device
Omega
;
David
speaking
of
these
Attributes
,
placeth
Mercy
in
the
foreward
,
and
Justice
in
the
rereward
,
saying
,
My
Song
shall
be
of
Mercy
and
Judgement
;
He
put
off
their
sackcloath
,
and
girded
them
with
gladnesse
,
and
compassed
them
about
with
songs
of
deliverance
;
he
carried
them
on
the
wings
of
Eagles
,
he
kept
them
as
the
Apple
of
his
eye
,
&c.
But
they
abusing
his
mercy
,
became
the
greatest
objects
of
his
wrath
;
as
,
I
know
not
the
man
that
can
reckon
up
their
mercies
:
so
I
know
not
the
man
that
can
sum
up
the
miseries
that
are
come
upon
them
for
their
sins
;
for
as
our
Saviour
prophesied
concerning
Jerusalem
,
That
a
stone
Andr.
cat
.
should
not
be
left
upon
a
stone
:
so
it
was
fulfilled
forty
years
after
his
Ascension
,
by
Vespasian
the
Emperour
,
and
his
Son
,
Titus
,
who
having
besi●ged
Jerusalem
,
the
Jewes
were
oppressed
with
a
grievous
famine
,
in
which
their
food
was
old
shooes
,
old
leather
,
old
hay
,
and
the

thene
died

and
partly
of
the
Famine

eleven

the
poorer

;
two

six

No
souls
fall
so
low
into
Hell
(
if
they
fall
)
as
those
souls
,
that
by
a
hand
of
mercy
,
are
lifted
up
nearest
to
Heaven
;
you
flight
souls
that
are
so
apt
to
abuse
mercy
,
consider
this
,
that
in
the
Gospel
dayes
,
the
plagues
that
God
inflicts
upon
the
despisers
,
and
abusers
of
mercy
,
are
usually
spirituall
plagues
;
as
blindnesse
of
mind
,
hardnesse
of
heart
,
benumednesse
of
conscience
,
which
are
ten
thousand
times
worse
then
the
worst
of
outward
plagues
that
can
b●fall
you
,
and
therefore
though
you
may
escape
temporall
Judgements
,
yet
you
shall
not
escape
spirituall
Judgements
:
How
shall
we
escape
if
we
neglect
so
great
salvation
?
saith
the
Apostle
.
Oh!
therefore
,
when
ever
Satan
shall
present
God
to
the
soul
,
as
one
made
up
all
of
mercy
,
that
he
may
draw
thee
to
doe
wickedly
,
say
unto
him
,
that
sins
against
mercy
will
bring
upon
the
soul
the
greatest
misery
,
and
therefore
,
whatever
becomes
of
thee
,
thou
wilt
not
sin
against
mercy
,

All
the

:
unto

as

Behold

upon
them

For
as

above

earth
:
so
great
is
his
mercy

But
the
mercy

When
Satan
attempts
to
draw
thee
to
sin
,
by
presenting
God
as
a
God
all
made
up
of
mercy
;
oh
!
then
reply
,
that
tho
Gods
general
mercy
extends
to
all
the
works
of
his
hand
;
yet
his
speciall
mercy
is
confined
to
them
that
are
divinely
qualified
,
to
them
that
love

,
and
keep
his

,
to
them
that
trust
in
him
,
that
by
hope
hang
upon
him
,
and
that
fear
him
,
and
that
thou
must
be
such
a
one
here
,
or
else
thou
canst
never
be
happy
hereafter
;
thou
must
partake
of
his
speciall
mercy
,
or
else
eternally
perish
in
everlasting
misery

The
fifth
Remedy
against
this
Device
Psal.

For
thy
loving
kindnesse
is
before
mine
eyes
,
and
I
have
walked
in
thy
truth
;
I
have
not
sat
with
vaine
persons
,
neither
will
I
goe
in
with
dissemblers
:
I
have
hated
the
Congregation
of
evill
doers
,
and
will
not
sit
with
the
wicked
.
So
Joseph
strengthens
himselfe
against
sin
,
from
the
remembrance
of
mercy
.
How
then
can
I
(
saith
he
)
doe
this
great
wickednesse
,
and
sin
against
God
?
He
had
fixt
his
eye
upon
mercy
,
and
therefore
sin
could
not
enter
,
though
the
irons
entred
into
his
soul
,
his
soul
being
taken
with
mercy
,
was
not
moved
by
his
Mistrisses
impudency
;
Satan
knock't
oft
at
the
door
,
but
the
sight
of
mercy
would
not
suffer
him
to
answer
,
or
open
:
Joseph
like
a
Pearle
in
a
Puddle
,
keeps
his
vertue
still
.
So
Paul
,
Shall
we
continue
in
sin
that
Grace
may
abound
?
God
forbid
;
how
shall
we
that
are
dead
to
sin
live
any
longer
therein
?
There
is
nothing
in
the
world
,
that
renders
a
man
more
unlike
to
a
Saint
,
and
more
like
to
Satan
,
then
to
argue
from
mercy
to
sinfull
liberty
;
from
Divine
goodnesse
to
licentiousnesse
;
this
is
the
Devils
Logick
,
and
in
whom
ever
you
find
it
,
you
may
write
,
This
soul
is
lost
.
A
man
may
a●
truly
say
,
the
Sea
burns
,
or
fire
cools
,
as
that
free
grace
and
mercy
should
make
a
soul
truly
gracious
to
doe
wickedly
.
So
the
same
Apostle
,
I
beseech
you
therefore
brethren
,
by
the
mercies
of
God
,
that
ye
present
your
bodies
a
living
sacrifice
,
holy
,
acceptable
unto
God
,
which
is
your
reasonable
service
.
So
John
,
These
things
I
write
unto
you
,
that

What
was
it
that
he
wrote

He
wrote
,
that
we
might
have
fellowship
with
the
Father
and
his
Son
;
the
Blood
of
Christ
cleanseth
us
from
all
sin
:
and
that
,
if
we
confesse
our
sins
,
he
is
just
and
faith
full
to
forgive
us
our
sins
;
and
that
,
if
we
doe
sin
,
we
have
an
Advocate
with
the
Father
,
Jesus
Christ
the
righteous
.
These
choyce
favours
,
and
mercies
the
Apostle
holds
forth
,
as
the
choycest
means
to
preserve
the
soul
from
sin
,
and
to
keep
at
the
greatest
distance
from
sin
,
and
if
this
won't
doe
it
,
you
may
write
the
man
void
of
Christ
,
and
grace
,
and
undone
for
ever

cannot

Da
poenitentiā
&

,
said
dying
Fulgentius
.
that
Repentance
is
a
mighty
work
,
a
difficult
work
,
a
work
that
is
above
our
power
.
There
is
no
power
below
that
power
that
raised
Christ
from
the
dead
,
and
that
made
the
world
,
that
can
break
the
heart
of
a
sinner
,
or
turn
the
heart
of
a
sinner
;
thou
art
as
well

as
to
melt
thine
owne
heart
,
to
turn

as
to
turn
thine
own
heart
to
the
Lord
;
to
raise
the
dead
,
and
to
make
a
world
,
as
to
Repent

Repentance
is

of

Repentance
for
sin
is
nothing
worth

without
repentance
from
sin
.
If
thou
repent
with
a
contradiction

saith
Tertullian
)
God
will
pardon
thee
with
a
contradiction
;
thou
repentest
,
and
yet
continuest
in
thy

God
will
pardon

yet
send
thee

there

for

,
for
godly
sorrow
;
sometimes
Repentance
is
taken
in
a
large
sense
,
for
Amendment
of
Life
.
Repentance
hath
in
it
three
things
,
viz.
the
Act
,
the
Subject
,
and
the
Termes
.
1.
The
formall
Act
of
Repentance
is
a
changing
,
and
converting
;
't
is
often
set
forth
in
Scripture
by
Turning
,
Turne
thou
me
,
and
I
shall
be
turned
,
saith
Ephraim
;
after
that
I
was
turned
,
I
repented
,
saith
he
;
't
is
a
turning
from
darknesse
to
light
.
2.
The
Subject
changed
,
and
converted
,
is
the
whole
man
;
't
is
both
the
sinners
heart
and
life
:
first
his
heart
,
then
his
life
;
first
his
person
,
then
his
practice
and
conversation
.
Wash
yee
,
make
you
cleane
;
there
's
the
change
of
their
persons
;
put
away
the
evill
of
your
doings
from
before
mine
eyes
;
cease
to
doe
evill
,
learne
to
do
well
;
there
's
the
change
of
their
practises
:
So
Cast
away
(
saith
Ezekiel
)
all
your
transgressions
,
whereby
you
have
transgressed
;
there
's
the
change
of
the
life
;
and
make
you
a
new
heart
,
and
a
new
spirit
,
there
's
the
change
of
the
3.
The
Tearmes
of
this
change
,
and
conversion
from
which
,
and
to
which
,
both
heart
and
life
must
be
changed
from
all
sin
,
to
God
;
the
heart
must
be
changed
from
the
state
and
power
of
sin
,
the
life
from
the
acts
of
sin
,
but
both
unto
God
,
the
heart
to
be
under
his
power
in
a
state
of
grace
,
the
life
to
be
under
his
rule
,
in
all
new
obedience
,
as
the
Apostle
speaks
,
To
open
their
eyes
,
and
to
turn
them
from
darknesse
to
light
,
and
from
the
power
of
satan
unto
God
:
so
the
Prophet
Isaiah
saith
,
Let
the
wicked
forsake
their
wayes
,
and
the
unrighteous
man
his
thoughts
,
and
let
him
returne
unto
the
Lord
.
Thus
much
of
the
nature
of
Evangelicall
Repentance
.
Now
soules
,
tell
me
whither
it
be
such
an
easie
thing
to
repent
,
as
Satan
doth
suggest
;
besides
what
hath
been
spoken
,
I
desire
that
you
will
take
notice
,
that
Repentance
doth
include
a
turning
from
the
most
darling
sin
:
Ephraim
shall
say
,
What
have
I
to
doe
any
more
with
Idols
?
Yea
,
it
's
a
turning
from
all
sin
to
God
.
Ezek.
18.
30.
Therefore
I
will
judge
you
,
O
House
of
Israel
,
every
one
according
to
his
wayes
,
saith
the
Lord
God
:
repent
,
and
turne
your selves
from
all
your
transgressions
:
so
iniquity
shall
not
be
your
ruine
.
Herod
turn'd
from
many
,
but
turn'd
not
from
his
Herodias
,
which
was
his
ruine
;
Judas
turn'd
from
all
visible
wickednes
,
yet
he
would
not
cast
out
that
golden
Devil
Covetousnesse
,
and
therefore
was
cast
into
the
hottest
place
in
Hell
.
He
that
turnes
not
from
every
sin
,
turnes
not
aright
from
any
one
sin
;
every
sin
strikes
at
the
Honour
of
God
,
the
Being
of
God
,
the
Glory
of
God
,
the
Heart
of
Christ
,
the
Joy
of
the
Spirit
,
and
the
Peace
of
a
mans
Conscience
;
and
therefore
a
soul
truly
penitent
,
strikes
at
all
,
hates
all
,
conflicts
with
all
;
and
will
labour
to
draw
strength
from
a
crucified
Christ
to
crucifi●
all
;
a
true
penitent
knowes
neither
father
nor
mother
,
neither
right
eye
,
nor
right
hand
,
but
will
pluck
out
the
one
,
and
cut
off
the
other
.
Saul
spared
but
one
Ag●g
,
and
that
cost
him
his
soul
and
his
Kingdome
:
besides
,
Repentance
is
not
onely
a
turning
from
all
sin
,
but
also
a
turning
to
all
good
,
to
a
love
of
all
good
,
to
a
prizing
of
all
good
,
and
to
a
following
after
all
good
.
Ezek.
18.
21.
But
if
the
wicked
will
turne
from
all
his
sins
that
he
hath
committed
,
and
keep
all
my
Statutes
,
and
doe
that
which
is
lawfull
and
right
,
he
shall
surely
live
,
be
shall
not
die
;
that
is
,
onely
negative
righteousnesse
and
holinesse
is
no
righteousnesse
nor
holinesse
;
David
fulfilled
all
the
wills
of
God
,
and
had
respect
unto
all
his
Commandements
,
and
so
had
Zacharias
and
Elizabeth
.
'T
is
not
enough
that
the
Tree
bears
not
ill
fruit
;
but
,
it
must
bring
forth
good
fruit
,
else
,
it
must
be
cut
downe
,
and
east
into
the
fire
:
So
,
't
is
not
enough
that
you
are
not
thus
and
thus
wicked
,
but
you
must
be
thus
and
thus
gracious
,
and
good
,
else
Divine
Justice
will
put
the
Axe
of
Divine
Vengeance
to
the
root
of
your
souls
,
and
cut
you
off
for
ever
.
Every
tree
that
bringeth
not
forth
good
fruit
,
is
hewn
downe
,
and
cast
into
the
fire
;
besides
,
Repentance
doth
include
a
sensiblenesse
of
sins
sinfulnesse
,
how
opposite
and
contrary
't
is
to
the
blessed
God
:
God
is
light
,
sin
is
darknesse
,
God
is
life
,
sin
is
death
,
God
is
Heaven
,
sin
is
hell
,
God
is
beauty
,
sin
is
deformity
.
Also
true
Repentance
includes
a
sensiblenes
of
sins
mischievousnesse
,
how
it
cast
Angels
out
of
Heaven
,
and
Adam
out
of
Paradise
;
how
it
laid
the
first
corner-stone
in
hell
,
and
brought
in
all
the
curses
,
crosses
,
and
miseries
,
that
be
in
the
world
,
and
how
it
makes
men
liable
to
all
temporall
,
spirituall
,
and
eternall
wrath
;
how
it
hath
made
men
Godlesse
,
Christlesse
,
hopelesse
,
and
heavenlesse
in
this
world
:
further
,
true
repentance
doth
include
sorrow
for
sin
,
contrition
of
heart
;
it
breaks
the
heart
with
sighes
and
sobs
,
and
groans
,
for
that
a
loving
God
,
and
Father
is
by
sin
offended
,
a
blessed
Saviour
a
fresh
crucified
,
and
the
sweet
Comforter
,
the
Spirit
,
offensivum
Dei
,
aversivum
à
Deo
,
this
both
comes
from
God
,
&
drives
a
man
to
God
,
as
it
did
the
Church
in
the
Canticles
,
and
the
Prodigall
.
Ezek.
20.
22
,
23.
grieved
and
vexed
.
Again
,
Repentance
doth
include
,
not
onely
a
loathing
of
sin
,
but
also
a
loathing
of
our selves
for
sin
;
as
a
man
doth
not
onely
loath
poyson
,
but
he
loaths
the
very
dish
or
vessel
that
hath
the
smell
of
the
poyson
:
so
a
true
Penitent
doth
not
onely
loath
his
sin
,
but
he
loaths
himselfe
,
the
vessel
that
still
smels
of
sin
.
So
Ezek.
20.
43.
And
there
shall
ye
remember
your
wayes
and
all
your
doings
,
wherein
yee
have
been
defiled
;
and
ye
shall
loath
your selves
in
your
owne
sight
,
for
all
your
evills
that
ye
have
committed
;
true
Repentance
will
work
your
hearts
,
not
onely
to
loath
your
sins
,
but
also
to
loath
your selves
.
Againe
,
true
Repentance
doth
not
onely
work
a
man
to
loath
himself
for
his
sins
,
but
it
makes
him
asham'd
of
his
sin
also
.
What
fruit
have
ye
of
those
things
,
whereof
ye
are
(
now
)
ashamed
?
saith
the
Apostle
:
so
Ezekiel
,
And
thou
shalt
be
confounded
,
and
never
open
thy
mouth
any
more
,
because
of
thy
shame
,
when
I
am
pacified
toward
thee
,
for
all
that
thou
hast
done
,
saith
the
Lord
God
.
When
a
pen●tentiall
soul
sees
his
sins
pardoned
,
the
anger
of
God
pacified
,
and
Divine
Justice
satisfied
,
then
he
sits
down
(
and
blushes
,
as
the
Hebrew
hath
it
)
as
one
ashamed
;
yea
,
true
Repentance
doth
i.
e.
So
much
the
more
God
hath
been
displeased
with
the
blacknesse
of
sin
,
the
more
will
he
be
pleased
with
the
blushing
of
the
sinner
.
They
that
do
not
burn
now
in
zeale
against
sin
,
must
ere
long
burne
in
Hell
for
sin
.
work
a
man
to
crosse
his
sinfull
self
,
and
to
walk
contrary
to
sinfull
selfe
,
to
take
a
holy
revenge
upon
sin
,
as
you
may
see
in
Paul
,
the
Jaylor
,
Mary
Magdalen
,
and
Manasses
;
this
the
Apostle
shewes
in
that
2
Cor.
7.
10
,
11.
For
godly
sorrow
worketh
repentance
never
to
be
repented
of
,
but
the
sorrow
of
the
world
worketh
death
;
for
behold
the
selfesame
thing
that
ye
sorrowed
after
a
Godly
sort
,
what
carefullnesse
it
wrought
in
you
;
yea
,
what
clearing
of
your selves
;
yea
,
what
indignation
;
yea
,
what
feare
;
yea
,
what
vehement
desire
;
yea
,
what
zeale
;
yea
,
what
revenge
.
Now
souls
,
sum
up
all
these
things
together
,
and
tell
me
,
whether
it
be
such
an
easie
thing
to
repent
,
as
Satan
would
make
the
soul
to
beleeve
;
and
I
am
confident
your
hearts
will
answer
,
that
't
is
as
hard
a
thing
to
repent
,
as
't
is
to
make
a
world
,
or
to
raise
the
dead
.
I
shall
conclude
this
second
Remedy
,
with
a
worthy
saying
of
a
precious
holy
man
,
Repentance
(
saith
he
)
strips
us
stark
naked
of
all
the
garments
of
the
old
Adam
,
and
leaves
not
so
much
as
the
shirt
behind
;
in
this
rotten
building
it
leaves
not
a
stone
upon
a
stone
.
As
the
Flood
drowned
Noa'hs
own
friends
,
and
servants
:
so
must
the
flood
of
repenting
tears
drown
our
sweetest
,
and
most
profitable
sins
.
The
third
Remedy
against
this
Device
My
sins
are
ever
before
me
;
a
true
penitent
is
often
casting
his
eyes
back
to
the
dayes
of
his
former
vanity
,
and
this
makes
him
morning
and
evening
to
water
his
couch
with
his
tears
:
Remember
not
against
me
the
sins
of
my
youth
,
saith
one
blessed
Penitent
;
and
I
was
a
blasphemer
,
and
a
persecuter
,
and
injurious
,
saith
another
Penitent
:
Repentance
is
a
continued
act
of
turning
,
a
Repentance
never
to
be
repented
of
,
a
turning
never
to
turne
again
to
folly
;
a
true
penitent
hath
ever
something
within
him
to
turn
from
he
can
never
get
near
enough
to
God
,
no
,
not
so
near
him
as
once
he
was
;
and
therefore
he
is
still
turning
and
turning
,
that
he
may
get
nearer
and
nearer
to
him
;
that
is
his
chiefest
good
,
and
his
onely
happinesse
(
optimum
O
wretched
men
that
we
are

They
are
still
sensible
of
sin
,
and
still
conflicting
with
sin
,
and
still
sorrowing
for

loathing

Repentance
is
no
transient
act
,
but
a
continued
act
of
the
soul

and
tell
me
,
oh
tempted
soule
!
whether
it
be
such
an
easie
thing
,
as
Satan
would
make
thee
believe
,
to
be
every
day
a
turning
,
more
and
more
from
sin
,
and
a
turning
nearer
and
nearer
to
God
,
thy
choicest
blessednesse

A
true
Penitent
can
as
easily
content
himselfe
with
one
act
of
faith
,
or
one
act
of
love
,
as
he
can
content
himselfe
with
one
act
of
Repentance

A
Jewish
Rabbie
pressing
the
practice
of
Repentance
upon
his
Disciples
,
exhorting
them
to
be
sure
to
Repent
the
day
before
they
dyed
;
one
of
them
replyed
,
that
the
day
of
any
mans
death
was
very
uncertaine
;
Repent
therefore
,
every
day
(
said
the
Rabbin
)
and
then
you
shall
be
sure
to
repent
the
day
before
you
dye
;
you
are
wise
,
and
know
how
to
apply
it
to
your
own
advantage

Remedy
against
this
Device
Thy
loving
kindnesse
is
alwayes
before
mine

and
I
have
walked
in
thy
truth
;
I
have
not
sat
with
vain
persons
,
neither
will
I
go
in
with
dissemblers
.
I
have
hated
the
Congregation
of
evill
doers
,
and
will
not
sit
with
the
wicked
:
So
by
the
same
means
the
soul
is
raised
,
by
Repentance
out
of
sin
,
as

so
God
will
not

men
often
to
neglect

and
the
frequent
checks
of
thy
owne
Conscience
,
that
thou
hast
contemned
,
and
therefore
thou
mayest
well
conclude
,
that
thou
canst
never
repent
,
that
thou
shalt
never
repent
;
now
saith
Satan
,
doe
but
a
little
consider
thy
numberlesse
sins
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
thy
sins
,
the
foulnesse
of
thy
sins
,
the
hainousnesse
of
thy
sins
,
the
circumstances
of
thy
sins
,
and
thou
shalt
easily
see
,
that
those
sins
that
thou
thoughtest
to
be
but
motes
,
are
indeed
mountaines
;
and
is
it
not
now
in
vain
to
repent
of
them
?
Surely
saith
Satan
,
if
thou
shouldest
seek
repentance
and
grace
with
tears
,
as
Esau
,
thou
shalt
not
find
it
;
thy
glasse
is
out
,
thy
sun
is
set
,
the
door
of
mercy
is
shut
,
the
golden
Scepter
is
taken
in
,
and
now
thou
that
hast
despised
mercy
,
shalt
be
for
ever
destroyed
by
Justice
;
for
such
a
wretch
as
thou
art
to
attempt
repentance
,
is
to
attempt
a
thing
impossible
;
't
is
impossible
that
thou
,
that
in
all
thy
life
couldest
never
conquer
one
sinne

shouldest
master
such
a

number
of

so

that

he
that

you

Abstaine
from
all
appearance
of
evill
;
whatsoever
is
heterodox
,
unsound
,
and
unsavory
,
shun
it
,
as
you
would
doe
a
Serpent
in
your
way
,
or
poyson
in
your
meats
.
Theodosius
tare
the
Arrians
Arguments
,
presented
to
him
in
writing
,
because
he
found
them
repugnant
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
Augustine
retracted
even
Ironies
onely
,
because
they
had
the
appearance
of
lying
.
When
God
had
commanded
the
Jewes
to
abstain
from
Swines
flesh
,
they
would
not
so
much
as
name
it
,
but
in
their
common
talk
would
call
a
Sow
another
thing
.
To
abstain
from
all
appearance
of
evill
,
is
to
doe
nothing
wherein
sin
appears
,
or
which
hath
a
shadow
of
sin
.
Bernard
glosseth
finely
,
Jude
23.
v.
And
others
save
with
fear
pulling
them
out
of
the
fire
,
hating
even
the
garment
spotted
by
the
flesh
.
'T
is
a
phrase
taken
from
legall
uncleanesse
,
which
was
contracted
by
touching
the
houses
,
the
vessells
,
the
garments
of
uncleane
persons
.
Under
the
Law
men
might
not
touch
a
menstrous
cloath
,
nor
God
would
not
accept
of
a
spotted
peace-offering
.
So
we
must
not
onely
hate
,
and
avoid
grosse
sins
,
but
every
thing
that
may
carry
a
savor
,
or
susprition
of
sin
;
we
must
abhor
the
very
signes
and
tokens
of
sin
;
so
in
Proverbs
5.
ver.
8.
Remove
thy
way
far
from
her
,
and
come
not
nigh
the
doore
of
her
house
.
He
that
would
not
be
burnt
must
dread

fire
;

that
would
not
heare

must
not
meddle
with

rope

Enter
not
in

path
of

and
goe

,
avoid
it
,
and
passe
not
by
it
,
turne
from

,
and
passe
away
.
This
triple
gradation
of
Solomon
sheweth
with
a
great
Emphasie
,
how
necessary
it
is
for
men
,
to
flee
from
all
appearance
of
sin
:
as
the
Sea-man
shuns
sands
,
and
shelves
,
and
as
men
shun
those
,
that
have
the
plague-sores
running
upon
them
:
as
weeds
doe
endanger
the
corne
,
as
bad
humor●
doe
endanger
the
bloud
,
or
as
an
infected
house
doth
indanger
the
neighbourhood
:
so
doth
the
company
of
the
bad
endanger
those
that
are
good
;
intirenesse
with
wicked
conforts
,
is
one
of
the
strongest
chaines
of
hell
,
and
bindes
us
to
a
participation
,
both
of
sin
and
punishment
.

that

that
the

Damasco

&c.
Many
a
wicked
man
is
big
,
and
full
of
sinful
corruption
,
but
shews
it
not
for
want
of
occasion
;
but
that
man
is
surely
good
,
who
in
his
course
will
not
be
bad
,
though
tempted
by
occasions
;
a
Christlesse
soul
is
so
far
from
refusing
occasions
when
they
come
in
his
way
,
that
he
looks
and
longs
after
them
,
and
rather
then
he
will
go
without
them
,
he
will
buy
them
not
onely
with
love
or
money
,
but
also
with
the
losse
of
his
soul
;
nothing
but
grace
can
fence
a
man
against
the
occasions
of
sin
,
when
he
is
strongly
tempted
thereunto
;
therefore
as
you
would
cherrish
a
precious
evidence
in
your
own
bosomes
,
of
the
truth
and
strength
of
your
graces
,
shun
all
sinfull
occasions

so
when

without

,
you
may
truly
say
,
this
soule
is
lost

you
may
ring

he
is

Saints

have
found
by

Augustine
by

if

us
out

we
should
many
times
meet
with
some
sin

My

them
still
in

and
is
humbled

or
bowed
downe
in

as
the
Originall
hath
it
.
So
David
,
when
he
was
under
the
rod
,
could
say
,
I
was
dumb
,
I
opened
not
my
mouth
,
because
thou
diddest
it
;
I
have
read
of
one
,
who
when
any
thing
fell
out
prosperously
,
would
read
over
the
Lamentations
of
Jeremiah
,
Againe
,
they
serve
to
bring
the
Saints
nearer
to
God
,
and
to
make
them
more
importunate
and
earnest
in
prayer
with
God
;
Before
I
was
afflicted
,
I
went
astray
,
but
now
have
I
kept
thy
word
.
It
is
good
for
me
that
I
have
been
afflicted
,
that
I
might
learne
thy
statutes
.
I
will
be
to
Ephraim
as
a
Lion
,
and
as
a
young
Lion
to
the
house
of
I
,
even
I
will
teare
,
and
goe
away
,
I
will
take
away
,
and
none
shall
rescue
him
;
I
will
goe
and
returne
to
my
place
,
till
they
acknowledge
their
offence
,
and
seek
my
face
;
in
their
affliction
they
will
seek
me
early
:
and
so
they
did
,
Come
(
say
they
)
and
let
us
returne
unto
the
Lord
;
for
he
hath
torne
,
and
he
will
heale
us
,
he
hath
smitten
,
and
he
will
bind
us
up
.
After
two
dayes
he
will
revive
us
,
in
the
third
day
he
will
raise
us
up
,
and
we
shall
live
in
his
sight
.
So
when
God
had
hedg'd
up
their
way
with
thorns
,
then
they
say
,
I
will
goe
and
returne
to
my
first
husband
,
for
then
was
it
with
me
better
then
now
.
Ah
the
joy
,
the
peace
,
the
comfort
,
the
delight
,
and
content
that
did
attend
us
,
when
we
kept
close
communion
with
God
,
doth
bespeak
our
return
to
God
.
We
will
returne
to
our
first
Husband
,
for
then
was
it
with
us
better
then
now
.
When

Again
,
afflictions
they

to
revive

graces
,
they
infame
that
love
that
's
cold
,
and
they
quicken
that
faith
that
is
decaying
,
and
they
put
life
into

hopes
that
are
withering
,
and
spirits
into
those
joyes

that
are
languishing

so
doe

recover
and
revive

The
more
Saints
be
beaten
with
the
hammer
of
afflictions
,
the
more
they
are
made
the
Trumpets
of
Gods
praises
,
and
the
more
are
their
graces
revived
and
quickned
.
Adversity
abases
the
lovelinesse
of
the
world
,
that
might
intice
us
;
it
abates
the
Iustinesse
of
the
flesh
within
,
that
might
incite
us
to
folly
and
vanity
,
and
it
abets
the
spirit
in
his
quarrell
,
to
the
two
former
,
which
tends
much
to
the
reviving
and
recovering
decayed
graces
.
Now
suppose
afflictions
,
and
troubles
doe
attend
the
wayes
of
holinesse
,
yet
seeing
that
they
all
work
for
the
great
profit

and
singular
advantage
of
the
Saints
,
let
no
soul
be
so
mad

as
to
leave

to

,
when

Anaxarchus

his

was
to
him
but
as
a
case
,
a
husk
;
he
counted
his

himself
,
which
they
could
not
reach
;
you
are
wise

know
how
to
apply
it

Socrates
said
of

,
they

they

so
afflictions

The
fourth
Remedy
against
this
Device
of
Satan
,
is
,
seriously
to
consider
,
that
the
afflictions
that
doe
befall
the
Saints
,
are
such
as
proceed
from
Gods
dearest
love
.
As
many
as
I
love
I
rebuke
and
chasten
;
be
zealous
therefore
,
and
repent
.
Saints
saith
God
,
think
not
that
I
hate
you
,
because
I
thus
chide
you
;
he
that
escapes
reprehension
,
may
suspect
his
adoption
;
God
had
one
Son
without
corruption
,
but
no
Son
without
correction
.
A
gracious
soule
may
look
through
the
darkest
cloud
,
and
see
a
God
smiling
on
him
.
We
must
look
through
the
anger
of
his
correction
,
to
the
sweetnesse
of
his
countenance
,
and
as
by
a
Rain-bow
,
we
see
the
beautifull
image
of
the
Suns
light
,
in
the
midst
of
a
dark
,
and
waterish
cloud
.
When
Munster
lay
sick
,
and
his
friends
asked
him
how
he
did
,
and
how
he
felt
himselfe
,
he
pointed
to
his
sores
and
ulcers
(
whereof
he
was
full
)
and
said
,
these
are
Gods
Gems
,
and
Jewells
,
wherewith
he
decketh
his
best
friends
,
and
to
me
they
are
more
precious
then
all
the
gold
and
silver
in
the
world
.
A
soul
at
first
conversion
is
but
ruf
cast
,
but
God
by
afflictions
doth
square
and
fit
,
and
fashion
it
for
that
glory
above
,
which
doth
speak
them
out
,
to
flow
from
precious
love
;
therefore
the
afflictions
that
doe
attend
the
people
of
God
,
should
be
no
bar
to
holinesse
,
nor
no
motive
to
draw
the
soul
to
wayes
of
wickednesse

The

that
the
designe
of

in

't

to

are
apt

He

l●d
thee

and
to
prove
thee
,
to
know
what
was
in
thy
heart
,
whether
thou
wouldest

Commandements
or
no.
God
afflicted
them
thus
,
that
he
might
make
known
to
themselves
,
and
others
,
what
was
in
their
hearts

When

is
put
to
green
wood
,
there
comes
out
abundance
of
watery
stuffe
that
afore

not
;
when
the

,
the
mud
,
filth
,
and

many

Hard
weather

what
health
we
have

afflictions
trie
what
sap
we
have
,
what
grace
we
have

fall

Rotten
boughes
quickly

with
heavy
weights

&c.
you
are
wise
,
and
know
how
to
apply

Afflictions
are
like
pinching
frosts
,
arise
and
shine
,
for
the
glory
of
the
Lord
is
risen
upon
thee
,

then
to
see
a
mote
in

,
and
not
a

,
then
to
use
spectacles
to
behold
other
mens
sins
,
rather
then
looking-glasses
to
behold
his
owne
;
then
to
be
alwayes
holding
his

then
to
be

because

as
God
at

did

speake

and
it
was
done
:
so
,
if
the
Devill
doth
but
hold
up
his
finger
,
give
the
least
hint
,
they
will
doe
his
will

though
they
undoe
their

Ah!
what
monsters
would
these
men
appeare
to
be
,
did
they
but
compare
themselves
with
a
righteous
Rule
,
and
not
with
the
most
unrighteous

they
would
appeare
to

those

that

The
sixt
Remedy
against
this
device
of
Satan
,
is
,
to
keep
humble
;
humility
will
keep
the
soule
free
from
many
darts
of
Satans
casting
,
and
erronious
snares
of
his
spreading

As

free
from
many
violent
gusts

blasts

which
shake

the
taller
trees
;
so
humble
soules
are
free
from
those
gusts
,
and
blasts
of
errour
,
that
rend
,
and
teare
proud
lofty
soules
;
Satan
and
the
world
hath
least
power
,
to
fasten
errours
upon
humble
soules
.
The
God
of
light
and
truth
delights
to
dwell
with
the
humble
;
and
the
more
light
and
truth
dwells
in
the
soule
,
the
further
off
darknesse
and
errour
will
stand
from
the

The
God

as

to
looke
alwayes
upon
wicked

,
under
those

that
they
set
out
themselves
by
,
or
that

;
but
the
looking
upon
them
under
those
names

notions
,
that

may
preserve
the
soule
from
frequenting
their

delighting
in
their
society

Doe
not
tell
me
what
this
man

them

how
such

such
count
them

tell
me
,
how
doth
the
Scripture
call
them

how
doth
the

count
them

As

The
first
device
that
Satan
hath
to
draw
soules
from
holy
duties
,
and
to
keep
them
off
from
religious
services
is
,
BY
presenting
the
world
in
such
a
dresse
,
and
in
such
a
garbe
to
the
soule
,
as
to
insnare
the
soule
,
and
to
winn
upon
the
affections
of
the
soule
;
Now
the
Remedies
against
this
device

these
that

Why

and
are
so

Why

that

very
sad

They
saw
him
that
was
invisible

had
an
eye

this
made

count
all

of
this

,
to
be
poore

contemptible

The
maine
reason
why
men
dote
upon
the
world
,
and
damne
their
soules
to
get

,
is
,
because
they
are
not

were

what
't
is
to

a

should

the
Remedies
against

device
of

are
these
that
follow
.
THe
first
Remedy
against
this
Device
And
who
is
he
that
shall
harme
you
,
if
you
be
followers
of
that
which
is
good
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
i.
e.
none
shall
harme
you
;
naturall
conscience
cannot
but
doe
homage
to
the
image
of
God
,
stamped
upon
the
natures
,
words
,
workes
,
and
lives
of
the
godly
;
as
we
may
see
in
the
carriage
of
Nebuchadnezzar
,
and
I
know
him
in
whom
I
have
beleeved
,
and
that
he
is
able
to
keep
that
which
I
have
committed
unto
him
,
untill
that
day
,
saith
the
Apostle
.
The
childes
most
precious
things
are
most
secure
in
his
Fathers
hands
;
so
are
our
soules
,
our
graces
,
and
our
comforts
,
in
the
hand
of
Christ
.
The
second
Remedie

device

that

torment
as
you
have

of

cries
out

I
am
a
Christian
;
no
torment
could
worke
him
to
decline

service
of
his
God
.
I
might
produce
a
cloud
of
witnesses

I
am
afraid

are
now

in
Heaven
,
have
held
on
in
religious
services
,
notwithstanding
all
the
troubles
and
dangers
that
have
surrounded
them
;
Nehemiah
,
and
Ezra
were
surrounded
with
dangers
on
the
left
hand
,
and
on
the
right
;
and
yet
in
the
face
of
all
,
they
hold
on
building
the
Temple
,
and
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
:
so
Daniel
,
and
those
precious
worthies
,
in
the
44
Psal.
under
want
of
outward
incouragements
,
and
in
the
face
of
a
world
of
very
great
discouragements
,
their
souls
clave
to
God
,
and
his
wayes
;
Though
they
were
sore
broken
in
the
place
of
dragons
,
and
covered
with
the
shadow
of
death
;
yea
,
though
they
were
all
the
day
long
counted
as
sheep
for
the
slaughter
,
yet
their
hearts
were
not
turned
back
,
neither
did
their
steps
decline
from
his
wayes
.
Though
bonds
and
imprisonment
did
attend
Paul
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
in
every
place
;
yet
they
held
on
in
the
work
,
and
service
of
the
Lord
;
and
why
then
should
you
degenerate
from
their
worthy
examples
,
which
is
your
duty
,
and
your
glory
to
follow
.
The
third
Remedie
against
this
device
How
shall
we
escape
,
if
we
neglect
so
great
salvation
?
He
saith
not
,
if
we
reject
,
or
renounce
so
great
salvation
;
but
if
wee
neglect
,
or
shift
off
(
as
the
word
is
)
so
great
salvation
;
he
doth
not
say
,
how
shall
we
escape
,
if
we
oppose
,
or
persecute
so
great
salvation
?
no
,
but
if
we
let
slip
,
or
neglect
so
great
salvation
,
how
shall
we
escape
?
that
is
,
we
cannot
by
any
way
,
or
meanes
,
or
device
in
the
world
,
escape
;
divine
Justice
will
be
above
us
,
in
spight
of
our
very
souls
.
The
doing
of
such
,
and
such
heavenly
services
may
lay
you
open
to
the
frowns
of
men
;
but
the
neglect
of
them
will
lay
you

the
neglect

may
render
you
contemptible
in
the
eyes
of
God
;
the
doing
of
them
may
be
the
losse
of
thy
estate
;
but
the
neglect
of
them
may
be
the
losse
of
God
,
Christ
,
Heaven
,
and
thy
soule
for
ever
;
the
doing
of
them
may
shut
thee
out
from
some
outward
,
temporal
contents
;
the
neglect
of

may
shut
thee
out
from
that
excellent

Remember
this
,
there
is
no
man

shall
suffer
more
,
by
neglecting
those
holy

and
heavenly
services
that
God
commands

rewards
,

by
walking
in
righteous

holy

then
you

BY
presenting
to
the
soule
the
difficulty
of
performing
them
;
saith
Satan
,
't
is
so
hard
and
difficult
a
thing
to
pray
as
thou
shouldst
,
and
to
wait
on
God
as
thou
shouldst
,
and
to
walke
with
God
as
thou
shouldst
,
and
to
be
lively
,
warm
,
and
active
in
the
communion
of
Saints
,
as
thou
shouldst
,
that
you
were
better
ten
thousand
times
to
neglect
them
,
then
to
meddle
with
them
;
and
doubtlesse
by
this
Device
Satan
hath
,
and
doth
keep
off
thousands
from
waiting
on
God
,
and
from
giving
to
him
that
service
that
is
due
to
his

take
the

to
meet

Jacob's
meeting
with
Rachel
,
and
enjoying
of
Rachell
,
made
his
hard
service
to
be
easie

to
him
;
and
will
not
the
soules
enjoying
of

and
meeting

God
,
render
his
service
to
be
much
more
easie
and
delightfull

doubtlesse
it
will
.
The
Lord
will
give
that
sweet
assistance
,
by
his
Spirit
and
grace
,
as
shall
make
his
service
joyous
,
and
not
grievous
,
a

not

;
a

not

the

The
third
Remedie
against

things
that
the

Jesus
Christ
hath
past
through

for
your
temporall

Ah!
what

of

?
a
sea

of
sinne
,
of
sorrow
,
and
misery
did
the
Lord
Jesus
wade
through

for
your
internal

eternall
good

Christ
did
not

,
this

this

Christ
stands

he
pleads
not
the

resolutely
,

bravely
wades
through

To
the

of
a
Saint
,
Christs
yoke
is
easie
,
and
his
burden
is
light
;
all
the
commands

wayes
of
Christ
(
even
those
that
tend
to
the
pulling
out
of

,
and
cutting
off
of

)
are
joyous
,
and
not
grievous
to
the
noble

a

;
all
the
wayes
and
services
of
Christ
are
pleasantnesse
(
in
the
abstract
)
to
the
better
part
of
a
Saint
;
a
Saint
,
so
far
as
he
is
renewed
,
is
alwayes
best
,
when
he
sees
most
of
God
,
when
he
tasts
most

when
he
is
highest
in
his
injoyments
of
God
,
and
most
warme

and
lively
in
the
service
of
God
;
oh
!
saith
the
noble
part
of
a
Saint
,
that
it
might
be
alwayes
thus
;
oh
!
that
my
strength
were
the
strength
of
stones
,
and
my
flesh
as
brasse
,
that
my
worser
part
might
be
more
serviceable
to
my
noble

,
that
I
might

an
untired

that

,
a

to
me

recompence

look't
for
a
house
that

and
maker
was
God

and
for
a

countrey

yea
,
this
bore
up
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
in
the
face
of
all
difficulties
and
discouragements
:
Looking
unto
Jesus
the
author
and
finisher
of
our
faith
,
who
for
the
joy
that
was
set
before
him
,
endured
the
Crosse
,
despising
the
shame
,
and
is
set
downe
at
the
right
hand
of
the
Throne
of
God
.
Christians
that
would
hold
on
in
the
service
of
the
Lord
,
must
look
more
upon
the
Crown
,
then
upon
the
Crosse
;
more
upon
their
future
glory
,
then
their
present
misery
;
more
upon

then
upon
their
discouragements

Loe

BY
working

to
make
false

from

glorious
things
that

hath
done
;
As
that

for

therefore
there
is
nothing
for
us
to
doe

to
joy

Ah!
what
a
world
of
Professors
hath
Satan
drawn
in
these
dayes
,
from
religious
services
,
by
working
them
to
make
such
sad
,
wilde
,
and
strange
inferences

from
the
sweet
and
excellent
things
,
that
the
Lord
Jesus
hath
done
for
his
beloved
ones
.
Now
the
Remedies
against
this
device
of
Satan
are
these
that
follow
.
THe
first
Remedie
against
this
device
What
,
know
yee
not
that
your
body
is
the
Temple
of
the
holy
Ghost
which
is
in
you
,
which
ye
have
of
God
,
and
ye
are
not
your
owne
?
For
ye
are
bought
with
a
price
:
therefore
glorifie
God
in
your
body
,
and
in
your
spirit
,
which
are
Gods
.
And
that
therefore
my
beloved
brethren
,
be
yee
stedfast
,
unmoveable
,
alwayes
abounding
in
the
worke
of
the
Lord
,
knowing
that
your
labour
is
not
in
vaine
in
the
Lord
.
And
that
,
And
let
us
not
be
weary
in
well
doing
,
for
in
due
season
we
shall
reape
,
if
we
faint
not
.
And
that
of
the
Apostle
,
rejoyce
alwayes
,
and
pray
without
ceasing
;
and
that
in
the
Philippians
:
Worke
out
your
salvation
with
feare
and
trembling
;
and
that
,
This
doe
till
I
come
;
and
that
,
Let
us
consider
one
another
,
to
provoke
one
another
to
love
,
and
to
good
workes
;
not
forsaking
the
assembling
of
our selves
together
,
as
the
mannor
of
some
is
,
but
exhorting
one
another
,
and
so
much
the
more
,
as
you
see
the
day
approaching
.
Now
a
soule
that
would
not
be
drawn
away
by
this
device
of
Satan
,
hee
must
not
look
with
a
squint
eye
upon
these
blessed
Scriptures
,
and
abundance
more
of
like
import
;
but
he
must
dwell
upon
them
,
he
must
make
these
Scriptures
to
be
his
chiefest
,
and
his
choisest
companions
,
and
this
will
be
a
happy
meanes
to
keep
him
close
to
Christ
,
and
his
service
in
these
times
,
wherein
many
turn
their
backs
upon
Christ
,
under
pretence
of
being
highly
interested
in
the
great
and
glorious
things
that
have
been
acted
by
Christ
,

,
as
that
,
That
we
being
delivered
out
of
the
hands
of

Enemies
,
might
serve
him
without
feare
;
in
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
before
him
all
the
dayes
of
our
lives
;
Christ
hath
freed
you
from
all
your
Enemies
,
from
the
curse
of
the
Law
,
the
predominant
damnatory
power
of
sin
,
the
wrath
of
God
,
the
sting
of
death
,
and
the
torments
of
hell
;
but
what
is
the
end
and
design
of
Christ
in
doing
these
great
and
marvellous
things
for
his
people
?
't
is
not
that
they
should
throw
off
duties
of
righteousnesse
and
holinesse
,
but
that
their
hearts
may
be
the
more
free
,
and
sweet
in
all
holy
duties
,
and
heavenly
services
:
So
the
Apostle
;
I

Having
therefore
these

let
us

Teaching

The

Remedie
against
this
device
David

seven
times
a
day
will
I
praise
the
Lord
;
who
more
in
the
studying
,
and
meditating
on
the
word
,
then
David
.
Thy
law
is
my
meditation
day
and
night
.
The
same
truth
you
may
run
,
and
read
in
Jacob
,
Moses
.
Job
,
Daniel
,
and
in
the
rest
of
the
holy
Prophets
,
and
Apostles
,
for
whom
Christ
hath
done
as
much
for
,
as
for
you
;
ah
!
how
have
all
those
Worthies
abounded
in
works
of
righteousnesse
,
and
holinesse
,
to
the
praise
of
free
grace
?
Certainly
Satan
hath
got
the
upper
hand
of
those
souls
,
that
do
argue
thus
;
The
fourth
Remedy
against
this
device
Little
children
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
let
no
man
deceive
you
;
he
that
doth
righteousnesse
,
is
righteous
even
as
he
is
righteous
.
In
this
(
saith
the
same
Apostle
)
the
children
of
God
are
manifest
,
and
the
children
of
the
Devill
;
whosoever
doth
not
righteousnesse
is
not
of
God
,
neither
hee
that
loveth
not
his
brother
.
If
ye
know
that
he
is
righteous
(
saith
the
same
Apostle
)
ye
know
that
every
one
that
doth
righteousnes●
is
born
of
him
.
He
that
saith
I
know
him
,
and
keepeth
not
his
commandements
,
is
a
lyer
,
and
the
truth
is
not
in
him
.
But
who
soever
keepeth
his
word
,
in
him
verily
is
the
love
of
God
perfected
,
hereby
know
we
that
we
are
in
him
.
He
that
saith
he
abideth
in
him
,
ought
himselfe
also
to
walke
,
even
as
he
walked
.
If
wee
say
that
we
have
fellowship
with
him
,
and
walk
i●
darknesse
,
we
lie
,
and
doe
not
the
truth
;
but
if
we
walk
in
the
light
as
he
is
in
the
light
,
wee
have
fellowship
one
with
another
;
and
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
cleanseth
us
from
all
sin
,
saith
the
same
Apostle
.
So
James
in
his
second
chapter
;
What
doth
it
profit
,
my
brethren
,
though
a
man
say
he
hath
faith
,
and
have
no
workes
,
can
faith
save
him
?
i.
e.
it
cannot
;
for
as
the
body
without
the
spirit
is
dead
,
so
faith
without
works
is
dead
.
To
looke
after
holy
and
heavenly
works
,
is
the
best
way
to
preserve
the
soule
from
being
deceived
,
and
deluded
by
Satans
delusions
,
and
by
sudden
flashes
of
joy
and
comfort
,
holy
works
being
a
more
sensible
and
constant
pledge
of
the
precious
spirit
,
begetting
and
maintaining
in
the
soule
more
solid
,
pure
,
clear
,
strong
and
lasting
joy
.
Ah
souls
!
as
you
would
have
in
your selves
a
constant
,
and
blessed
evidence
of
your
fellowship
with
the
Father
,
and
the
Sonne
;
and
of
the
truth
of
grace
,
and
of
your
future
happinesse
;
look
that
you
cleave
close
to
holy
services
,
and
that
you
turne
not
your
backs
upon
religious
duties
.
The
fifth
Remedy
against

device
a

And
if
these
considerations
will
not
prevail
with
you
,
to
wait
upon
God
in
holy
and
heavenly
duties
,
I
am
afraid
,
if
one
should
rise
from
the
dead
,
his
arguments
would
not
win
upon
you
,
but
you
would
hold
on

your
sins

you
lost

;
Ah
poor
Saints
!
now
some
thrust
sore
at

others
look
a
squint
upon
you
,
others
shut
the
door
against
you
,
others
turne
their
backs
upon
you
;
and
most
of
men
(
except
it
be
a
few
that
live
much
in
God
,
and
are
filled
with
the
riches
of
Christ
)
do
either
neglect
you
,
or
despise
you
,
because
of
your
poverty
;
but
the
day
is
coming
,
when
you
shall
be
lifted
up
above
the
dunghil
,
when
you
shall
change
p●v●rty
for
riches
,
your
rags
for
robes
,
your
reproach
for
a
crowne
of
honour
,
your
infamy
for
glory
,
even
in
this
world
.
And
this
is
not
all
,
but
God
will
also
mightily
increase
the
number
of
his
chosen
ones
;
multitudes
shall
be
converted
to
him
.
Who
hath
heard
such
a
thing
?
who
hath
seen
such
things
?
shall
the
earth
be
made
to
bring
forth
in

day
?
or
shall
a
Nation
be
borne
at
once
?
for
assoone
as
Zion
travelled
,
she
brought
forth
children
.
And
they
shall
bring
all
your
brethren
for
an
offering
unto
the
Lord
out
of
all
Nations
,
upon
horses
,
and
in
Chariots
,
in
Litters
,
and
upon
Mules
,
&
upon

beasts
to

Jerusalem
,
saith
the
Lord
;
as
the
children
of
Israel
bring
an
offering
in
a
cleane
vessell
into
the
house
of
the
Lord
.
Doth
not
the
Scripture
say
,
that
the
Kingdomes
of
this
world
must
become
the
Kingdomes
of
our
Lord
?
Hath
not
God
given
to
Christ
the
heathen
?
and
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
earth
for
his
possessions
?
Hath
not
the
Lord
said
,
that
in
the
last
dayes
,
the
mountaine
of
the

house
shall
be
lifted
up

The
second
Remedie
against
this
device
And
I
heard
another
voyce
from
Heaven
,
saying
,
come
out
of
her
my
people
,
that
ye
be
not
partakers
of
her
sins
,
and
that
ye
receive
not
of
her
plagues
.
Come
out
in
affection
,
in
action
,
and
in
habitation
;
for
else
the
infection
of
sin
will
bring
upon
you
the
infliction
of
punishment
.
So
saith
the
wise
man
;
He
that
walketh
with
wise
men
shall
be
wise
,
but
a
companion
of
fooles
shall
be
destroyed
,
or
as
the
Hebrew
a
Ieroange
,
from
ruange
,
to
be
naught
.
hath
it
,
shall
be
broken
in
pieces
.
Multitudes
may
help
thee
into
sin
;
yea
,
one
may
draw
thee
into
sin
,
but
't
is
not
multitudes
that
can
help
thee
to
escape
punishments
:
As
you
may
see
in
Moses
and
Aaron
,
that
were
provoked
to
sinne
by
the
multitude
;
but
were
shut
out
of
the
pleasant
Land
,
and
fell
by
a
hand
of
Justice
as
well
as
others
.
The
third
Remedie
against
this
device
The
seventh
Device
that
Satan
BY
casting
in
a
multitude
of
vaine
thoughts
,
whilst
the
soule
is
in
seeking
of
God
,
or
in
waiting
on
God
,
and
by
this
device
he
hath
cooled
some
mens
spirits
in
heavenly
services
,
and
taken
off
(
at
least
for
a
time
)
many
precious
Now
the
Remedies
against
this
device
of
Satan
are
these
that
follow
.
THe
first
Remedie
against

device

Remedie
.
When
Pompey
could
not
keep
his
souldiers
in
the
camp
by
perswasion
,
he
cast
himselfe
all
along
in
the
narrow
passage
that
lead
out
of
it
,
and
then
bid
them
goe
if
you
will
,
but
you
shall
first
trample
upon
your
Generall
,
and
the
thoughts
of
this
overcame
them
;
you
are
wise
,
&
know
how
to
apply
it
to
the
point
in
hand
.
of
Satan
,
is
,
to
have
your
hearts
strongly
affected
with
the
greatnesse
,
holinesse
,
Majesty
,
and
glory
of
that
God
,
before
whom
you
stand
,
and
with
whom
your
souls
do
converse
in
religious
services
;
Oh!
let
your
souls
be
greatly
affected
with
the
presence
,
purity
,
and
majesty
of
that
God
before
whom
thou
standest
.
A
man
would
be
afraid
of
playing
with
a
feather
,
when
he
is
speaking
to
a
King
;
ah
!
when
men
have
poor
,
low
,
light
,
slight
,
&c.
thoughts
of
God
,
in
their
drawing
neer
to
God
,
they
tempt
the
Devill
to
bestir
himselfe
,
and
to
cast
in
a
multitude
of
vaine
thoughts
to
disturb
and
distract
the
soul
in
its
waiting
on
God
.
There
is
nothing
that
will
contribute
so
much
to
the
keeping
out
of
vaine
thoughts
,
as
to
looke
upon
God
as
an
omniscient
God
,
an
omnipresent
God
,
an
omnipotent
God
,
a
God
full
of
all
glorious
perfections
;
a
God
,
whose
Majestie
,
purity
,
and
glory
wil
not
suffer
him
to
behold
the
least
iniquity
.
The
reason
why
the
blessed
Saints
,
and
glorious
Angells
in
Heaven
have
not
so
much
as
one
vaine
thought
,
is
,
because
they
are
greatly
affected
with
the
greatnesse
,
holinesse
,
majesty
,
purity
,
and
glory
of
God
.

what
's
the
reason

the
Remedies
against
this
device
of
Satan
are
these
that
follow
.
THe
first
Remedie
against
this
device
Oh!
enter
not
into
judgement
with
thy
servant

the
weaknesses
that

and
see

if
they
can
help
you
,
if
they
can
support
you
,
if
they
can

if

The
third
Remedie
against
this
device
Behold
,
all
yee
that
kindle
a
fire
,
and
compass
your selves
with
the
sparks
,
and
walk
in
the
light
of
your
fire
,
and
in
the
sparks
that
yee
have
kindled
,
this
yee
shall
have
at
mine
hand
,
yee
shall
lye
down
in
sorrow
;
Is
it
good
dwelling
with
everlasting
burnings
?
with
a
devouring
fire
?
if
it
be
,
why
then
rest
in
your
duties
still
;
if
otherwise
,
then
see
that
you
center
only
in
the
bosome
of
Christ
.
The
fourth
and
last
Remedie
against
My
people
have
been
as
lost
sheep
,
their
shepheards
have
caused
them
to
goe
astray
,
and
have
turned
them
away
to
the
mountaines
,
they
have
gone
from
mountaine
to
hill
and
forgotten
their
resting
place
.
So
poor
souls
that
see
not
the
excellency
of
that
resting
place
that
God
hath
appointed
for
their
souls
to
lye
down
in
;
they
wander
ftom
mountaine
to
hill
,
from
one
duty
to
another
,
and
here
they
will
rest
,
and
there
they
will
rest
;
but
soules
that
see
the
excellency
of
that
resting
place
that
God
hath
provided
for
them
,
they
will
say
,
farewel
prayer
,
farewel
hearing
,
farewel
fasting
,
&c.
I
will
rest
no
more
in
you
,
but
now
will
rest
only
in
the
bosome
of
Christ
,
the
love
of
Christ
,
the
righteousnesse
of
Christ
.
The
third
thing
to
be
shewed
,
is
the
severall
Devices
that
Satan
hath
to
keep
souls
in
a
sad
,
doubting
,
questioning
,
and
uncomfortable
condition
.
THough
he
can
never
rob
a
Believer
of
his
Crowne
,
yet
such
is
his
malice
and
envy
,
that
he
will
leave
no
stone
unturn'd
,
no
means
unattempted
to
rob
them
of
their
comfort
,
and
peace
,
to
make
their
life
a
burden
,
and
a
hell
unto
them
,
to
cause
them
to
spend
their
days
in
sorrow
and
mourning
,
in
sighing
and
complaining
,
in
doubting
and
questioning
;
surely
we
have
no
interest
in
Christ
,
our
graces
are
not
true
,
our
hopes
are
the
hopes
of
hypocrites
;
our
confidence
is
but
presumption
;
our
injoyments
are
but
delusions
,
&c.
I
shall
shew
you
this
in
some
particulars
.
The
first
Device
that
Satan
BY
causing
them
to
be
still
poring
,
The
Lord
is
not
in
all
their
thoughts
;
their
eyes
are
so
fixt
upon
their
disease
,
that
they
cannot
see
the
Remedie
,
though
it
be
neare
;
and
they
doe
so
muse
upon
their
debts
,
that
they
have
neither
mind
nor
heart
to
think
of
their
surety
,
&c.
Now
the
first
Remedie
against
FOr
weake
beleevers
to
consider
,
that
though
Jesus
Christ
hath
not
freed
them
from
the
presence
of
sin
,
yet
he
Rom.
8.
1.
hath
freed
them
from
the
damnatory
power
of
sin
.
It
's
most
true
,
that
sinne
and
grace
were
never
borne
together
,
neither
shall
sin
and
grace
dye
together
;
yet
while
a
beleever
breaths
in
this
world
,
they
must
live
together
,
they
must
keep
house
together
.
Christ
in
this
life
will
not
free
any
beleever
from
the
presence
of
any
one
sin
,
though
he
doth
free
every
beleever
from
the
damning
power
of
every
sin
;
There
's
no
condemnation
to
them
that
are
in
Christ
Jesus
,
who
walke
not
after
the
flesh
,
but
after
the
spirit
.
The
Law
cannot
condemn
a
beleever
,
for
Christ
hath
fulfilled
it
for
him
;
divine
Justice
cannot
condemn
him
,
for
that
Christ
hath
satisfied
;
his
sinns
cannot
condem
him
,
for
they
in
the
blood
of
Christ
are
pardoned
;
and
his
owne
conscience
(
upon
righteous
grounds
)
cannot
condemn
him
,
because
Christ
,
that
is
greater
then
his
conscience
,
hath
acquitted
him
,
&c.

nor
speak
with
God
;
oh
!
but
remember
,
't
is
one
thing
for
sin
to
molest
and
vex
thee
,
and
another
thing
for
sinne
to
reigne
,
and
have
dominion
over
thee
.
For
sinne
shall
not
have
dominion
over
you
;
for
ye
are
not
under
the
law
,
but
under
grace
.
Sin
may
rebell
,
but
it
shall
never
reigne
in
any
Saint
;
it
fareth
with
sin
in
the
regenerate
,
as
with
those
Beasts
that
Daniel
speaks
of
,
That
had
their
dominion
taken
away
,
yet
their
lives
were
prolonged
for
a
season
,
and
a
time
.
Now
sin
reigns
in
the
soule
,
when
the
soul
willingly
and
readily
obeys
it
,
and
subjects
to
its
commands
,
as
Subjects
do
actively
obey
,
and
embrace
the
commands
of
their
Prince
.
The
commands
I
bid
one
goe
,
and
be
goeth
,
and
to
another
come
,
and
he
cometh
,
and
to
another
do
this
,
and
he
doth
it
.
No
,
the
heart
of
a
St.
rises
against
the
commands
of
sin
;
and
when
sin
would
cary
his
soule
to
the
Devill
,
he
hales
his
sin
before
the
Lord
,
and
cries
out
for
Justice
,
Lord
,
saith
the
beleeving
soule

Tyrant

it
would
have

to

that
which

,
as
well
as
against
my
happinesse
;
against
thy
honour
and

,
as
my
comfort
&
peace
;
therefore
do
me
justice
,
thou
righteous
Judge
of

and
let
this

Ah!
you
lamenting
soules
,
that
spend
your
dayes
in
sighing
and
groaning
under
the
sense
and
burthen
of
your
sins
;
why
doe
you
deale
so
unkindly
with
God
,
and
so
injuriously
with
your
own
soules
,
as
not
to
cast
an
eye
upon
those
precious
promises
of
remission
of
sinne
,
which
may

spirits

and
under
the

burden

The
fourth
Remedie
against
this
device
of
Satan
,
is
,
to
look
upon
all
your
sins
,
as
charged
upon
the
account
of
Christ
,
as
debts
which
the
Lord
Jesus
hath
fully
satisfied
;
and
indeed
were
there
but
one
farthing
of
that
debt
unpaid
,
that
Christ
was
engaged
to
satisfie
,
it
would
not
have
stood
with
the
unspotted
justice
of
God
,
to
have
let
him
come
into
Heaven
,
and
sit
down
at
his
owne
right
hand
;
but
all
our
debts
by
his
death
being
discharged
,
we
are
freed
,
and
he
is
exalted
to
sit
down
at
the
right
hand
of
his
Father
,
which
is
the
top
of
his
glory
,
and
the
greatest

of
our
felicity

him

us
that
knew
no
sinne
,
that
we
might
be
made
the
righteousnesse
of
God
in
him
,
saith
the
Apostle
:
All
our
sins
were
made
to
meete
upon
Christ
,
as
that
Evangelicall
Prophet
hath
it
.
He
was
wounded
for
our
transgressions
,
he
was
bruised
for
our
iniquities
,
the
chastisement
of
our
peace
was
upon
him
,
and
with
his
stripes
we
are
healed
.
All
we
like
sheep
have
gone
astray
,
we
have
turned
every
one
to
his
owne
way
,
and
the
Lord
hath
layd
on
him
the
iniquity
of
us
all
;
or
as
the
Hebrew
hath
it
,
he
hath
made
the
iniquity
of
us
all
to
meet
in
him
.
In
Law
we
know
,
that
all
the
debts
of
the
Wife
are
charged
upon
the
Husband
;
saith
the
Wife
to
one
,
and
to
another
,
if
Christ
hath
cleared
all
reckonings
betwixt
God
and
us
;
you
remember
the
Scape-goate
,
upon
his
head
all
the
iniquities
of
the
children
of
Israel
,
and
all
their
transgressions
in
all
their
sinns
were
confessed
and
put
,
and
the
Goate
did
beare
upon
him
all
their
iniquities
,
&c.
Why
,
the
Lord
Jesus
is
that
blessed
Scape-Goate
,
upon
whom
all
our
sins
were
laid
,
and
who
alone
hath
carried
our
sins
away
into
the
Land
of
forget
fulnesse
,
where
they
shall
never
,
never
be
remembred
more
;
a
beleever
under
the
guilt
of
his
sin
may
looke
the
Lord
in
the
face
,
and
sweetly
plead
thus
with
him
;
'T
is
true
Lord
,
I
owed
thee
The
fifth
Remedy
against
this
device
Lilmod
lelammed
,
we
therefore
learn
,
that
wee
may
teach
,
is
a
proverb
among
the
Rabbins
.
After
the
Trojans
had
been
wandering
,
&
tossing
up
and
down
the
Mediterranean
Sea
;
as
soon
as
they
espied
Italy
,
they
cried
out
with
exulting
joy
,
Italy
,
Italy
:
so
will
Saints
when
they
come
to
Heaven
.
and
partly
,
to
weane
them
from
things
below
,
and
to
make
them
heart-sick
of
their
absence
from
Christ
,
and
to
maintain
in
them
bowels
of
compassion
towards
others
,
that
are
subject
to
the
same
infirmities
with
them
;
and
that
they
may
distinguish
between
a
state
of
grace
,
and
a
state
of
glory
,
and
that
Heaven
may
be
more
sweet
to
them
in
the
close
.
Now
doth
the
Lord
upon
these
weighty
reasons
suffer
his
people
to
be
exercised
,
and
molested
with
the
operations
of
sinfull
corruptions
;
oh
!
then
let
no
beleever
speak
,
write
,
or
conclude
bitter
things
against
his
owne
soule
,
and
comforts
;
because
that
sinne
troubles
and
vexes
his
righteous
soule
,
&c.
but
lay
his
hand
upon
his
mouth
,
and
be
silent
,
because
the
Lord
will
have
it
so
,
upon
such
weighty
grounds
,
as
the
soule
is
not
able
to
withstand
.
The
sixth
Remedy
against
this
Device
The
second
Device
that
Satan
BY
working
them
to
make
false
definitions
of
their
graces
:
Satan
knows
,
that
as
false
definitions
of
sinne
wrong
the
soule
one
way
,
so
false
definitions
of
grace
wrong
the
soule
another
way
.
I
will
instance
only
in
faith
;
oh
!
how
doth
Satan
labour
might
and
main
to
work
men
to
make
false
definitions
of
faith
;
Some
he
works
to
define
faith
too
high
,
as
that
it
is
a
full
assurance
of
the
love
of
God
to
a
mans
soule
in
particular
,
or
a
full
perswasion
of
the
pardon
,
and
remission
of
a
mans
owne
sins
in
particular
;
saith
Satan
,
what
dost
thou
talk
of
faith
?
faith
is
an
assurance
of
the
love
of
God
,
and
of
the
pardon
of
sin
,
and
this
thou
hast
not
;
thou
knowest
thou
art
far
off
from
this
,
therefore
thou
hast
no
faith
;
and
by
drawing
men
to
make
such
a
false
definition
of
faith
,
he
keeps
them
in
a
sad
,
doubting
,
and
questioning
condition
,
and
makes
them
spend
their
days
in
sorrow
and
sighing
,
so
that
teares
are
their
drink
,
and
sorrow
is
their
meate
,
and
sighing
is
their
work
all
the
day
long
,
&c.
The
Philosophers
say
there
are
eight
d●grees
of
heat
;
we
discern
three
;
now
i●
a
m●n
should
define
heat
only
by
the
highest
degree
,
then
all
other
degrees
will
be
cast
out
from
being
heat
:
so
if
men
shall
define
fai●h
only
by
the
highest
degrees
,
by
assurance
of
the
love
of
God
,
and
of
the
pardon
of
his
sins
in
particular
,
what
will
become
of
lesser
degrees
of
faith
?
If
a
man
should
define
a
man
to
be
a
living
man
,
onely
by
the
highest
and
st●ongest
demonstrations
of
life
,
as
laughing
,
leaping
,
running
,
working
,
walking
,
&c.
would
not
many
thousands
that
groan
under
internal
,
and
externall
weaknesses
,
and
that
cannot
laugh
,
nor
leap
,
nor
run
,
nor
work
,
nor
walk
,
be
found
dead
men
by
such
a
definition
,
that
yet
wee
know
to
be
alive
;
't
is
so
here
,
and
you
know
how
to
apply
it
,
&c.
Now
the
Remedies
against
this
device
of
Satan
are
these
that
follow
.
THe
first
Remedie
against
this
Device
These
things
have
I
written
unto
you
(
saith
John
)
that
believe
on
the
name
of
the
Son
of
God
,
that
yee
may
know
,
that
ye
have
eternall
life
,
,
and
that
ye
may
beleeve
on
the
name
of
the
Son
of
God
;
In
these
words
you
see
that
they
did
believe
,
and
had
eternall
life
,
in
respect
of
the
purpose
and
promise
of
God
,
and
in
respect
of
the
seeds
,
and
beginnings
of
it
in
their
souls
;
and
in
respect
of
Christ
their
head
,
who
sits
in
Heaven
as
a
publique
person
,
representing
all
his
chosen
ones
;
Who
hath
raised
us
up
together
,
and
made
us
sit
together
in
heavenly
places
in
Christ
Jesus
;
and
yet
they
did
not
know
that
they
had
eternall
life
.
'T
is
one
thing
to
have
a
right
to
heaven
,
and
another
thing
to
know
it
;
'T
is
one
thing
to
be
beloved
,
and
another
thing
for
a
man
to
know
that
he
is
beloved
.
'T
is
one
thing
for
God
to
write
a
mans
name
in
the
book
of
life
,
and
another
thing
for
God
to
tell
a
man
,
that
his
name
is
written
in
the
book
of
life
,
and
to
say
to
him
,
rejoyce
,
because
thy
name
is
written
in
heaven
.
So
Paul
:
In
whom
yee
also
trusted
after
Mica
7.
8
,
9.
yee
heard
the
word
of
truth
,
the
Gospell
of
your
salvation
,
in
whom
also
after
that
yee
believed
,
yee
were
sealed
with
that
holy
spirit
of
promise
.
So
Micha
,
Rejoyce
not
against
me
oh
my
enemie
,
when
I
shall
fall
,
I
shall
rise
;
when
I
shall
sit
in
darknesse
,
the
Lord
shall
be
a
light
unto
me
.
I
will
beare
the
indignation
of
the
Lord
,
because
I
have
sinned
,
&c.
or
the
sad
countenance
of
God
,
as
the
Hebrew
hath
it
.
This
soul
had
no
assurance
,
for
he
sits
in
darknesse
,
and
was
under
the
sad
countenance
of
God
,
and
yet
had
strong
faith
:
As
appears
in
those
words
,
when
I
fall
,
I
shall
arise
:
when
I
sit
in
darknesse
,
the
Lord
shall
be
a
light
unto
me
.
He
will
bring
me
forth
to
the
light
,
and
I
shall
behold
his
righteousnesse
,
and
let
this
suffice
for
the
first
answer
.
The
second
Remedie
against
this
Device
As
many
as
received
him
,
to
them
he
gave
this
priviledge
to
be
the
sons
of
God
,
to
as
many
as
beleeved
on
his
name
;
to
be
a
cleaving
of
the
soule
unto
God
,
though
no
joy
but
afflictions
attend
the
soule
.
Yea
,
the
Lord
defines
faith
to
be
a
coming
to
God
in
Christ
,
The
third
Remedie
against
this
device
Why
are
yee
afraid
oh
yee
of
little
faith
?
The
fourth
Remedie
against
this
device
The
assurance
of
our
salvation
,
and
pardon
of
sin
doth
primarily
arise
from
the
witnesse
of
the
spirit
of
God
,
that
for
we
are
sonnes
by
faith
in
Christ
Jesus
:
therefore
assurance
is
not
faith
,
but
followes
it
,
as
the
effect
follows
the
cause
.
Againe
,
no
man
can
be
assured
,
and
perswaded
of
his
salvation
,
till
he
be
united
to
Christ
,
till
he
be
ingrafted
into
Christ
;
and
a
man
cannot
be
ingrafted
into
Christ
,
till
he
hath
faith
;
hee
must
first
be
ingrafted
into
Christ
by
faith
,
before
he
can
have
assurance
of
his
salvation
,
which
doth
clearly
evidence
,
that
assurance
is
not
faith
,
but
an
effect
and
fruit
of
faith
,
&c.
Again
,
faith
cannot
be
lost
,
but
assurance
may
;
therefore
assurance
is
not
faith
.
Though
assurance
be
a
precious
Againe
,
a
man
must
first
have
faith
,
before
he
can
have
assurance
,
therefore
assurance
is
not
faith
;
and
that
a
man
must
first
have
faith
,
before
he
can
have
assurance
,
is
cleare
;
by
this
a
man
must
first
be
saved
,
before
he
can
be
assured
of
his
salvation
,
for
he
cannot
be
assured
of
that
which
is
not
;
and
a
man
must
first
have
a
saving
faith
,
before
he
can
be
saved
by
faith
;
for
he
cannot
be
saved
by
that
which
he
hath
not
;
therefore
a
man
must
first
have
faith
,
before
he
can
have
assurance
,
and
so
it
roundly
followes
,
that
assurance
is
not
faith
,
&c.
The
third
Device
that
Satan
BY
working
the
soule
to
make
false
Now
the
remedies
against
this
Device
of
Satan
are
these
that
follow
.
THe
first

against
this
device

met
with
many
things
that
were
contrary
to
their
de
fires
,
and
endeavours
,
that
were
not
contrary
to
their
good
,
as
all
know

that
have
wisely
compared
their
desires

endeavours
,
and
Gods
actings
together

Physick
often
works
contrary
to
the
Patients
desires
,
when
it
doth
not
work
contrary
to
their
good
.
I
remember
a
story
of
a
godly
man
,
who
had
a
great
desire
to
goe
to
France
,
and
as
he
was
going
to
take
shipping
,
he
broke
his
leg
,
and
it
pleased
providence
so
to
order
it
,

dearly
set
upon
Ephraim
.
I
have
surely
heard
Ephraim
bemoaning
himselfe
thus
;
thou
hast
chastised
mee
,
and
I
was
chastised
as
a
bullocke
unaccustomed
to
the
yoke
:
turn
thou
me
,
and
I
shall
be
turned
,
for
thou
art
the
Lord
my
God
.
Surely
after
that
I
was
turned
,
I
repented
;
and
after
that
I
was
instructed
,
I
smote
upon
my
thigh
;
I
was
ashamed
,
yea
,
even
confounded
,
because
I
did
beare
the
reproach
of
my
youth
.
Ephraim
is
my
deare
sonne
,
he
is
a
pleasant
child
;
for
since
I
spake
against
him
,
I
doe
earnestly
remember
him
still
:
therefore
my
bowells
are
troubled
for
him
,
I
will
surely
have
mercy
upon
him
,
saith
the
Lord
.
God
can
look
sowrly
,
and
chide
bitterly
,
and
strike
heavily
,
even
where
,
and
when
he
loves
dearly
.
The
hand
of
God
was
very
much
against
Job
,
and
yet
his
love
,
his
heart
was
very
much
set
upon
Job
,
as
you
may
see
by
comparing
the
2.
first
chap.
of
Iob
with
the
two
last
.
The
hand
of
God
was
sore
against
David
,
and
Jonah
,
when
his
heart
was
much
set
upon
them
.
He
that
shall
conclude
,
that
the
heart
of
God
is
against
those
that
his
hand
is
against
,
will
condemne
the
generation
of
the
just
,
whom
God
unjustly
would
not
have
condemned
.
The
third
Remedie
against
this
device
Joseph
you
know
,
was
sold
into
a
far
Country
by
the
envy
and
malice
of
his
brethren
,
and
afterwards
imprisoned
,
because
he
would
not
be
a
prisoner
to
his
Mistrisses
lusts
;
yet
all
these
cross
providences
did
wonderfully
conduce
to
his
advancement
,
and
the
preservation
of
his
Fathers
family
,
which
was
then
the
visible
Church
of
Christ
.
It
was
so
ordered
by
a
noble
hand
of
providence
,
that
what
they
sought
to
decline
,
they
did
promote
;
Joseph
was
therefore
sold
by
his
brethren
,
that
he
might
not
be
worshipped
,
and
yet
he
was
therefore
worshipped
,
because
he
was
sold
.
David
was
designed
to
a
Kingdome
;
but
oh
the
straits
,
troubles
,
and
deaths
,
that
he
run
through
,
before
he
feels
the
weight
of
the
Crown
;
and
all
this
was
but
in
order
to
the
sweetning
of
his
Crown
,
and
to
the
setling
of
it
more
firmly
and
gloriously
upon
his
head
;
God
did
so
contrive
it
,
that
Jonah's
offence
,
and
those
crosse
actings
of
his
that
did
attend
it
,
should
advantage
that
end
which
they
seemed
most
directly
The
fourth
Remedy
against
this
device
The
fourth
Device
that
Satan
BY
suggesting
to
them
,
that
their
graces
are
not
true
,
but
counterfeit
;
saith
Satan
,
all
is
not
gold
that
glisters
,
all
is
not
grace
that
you
count
grace
,
that
you
call
grace
;
that
which
Now
the
Remedies
against
this
device
of
Satan
are
these
that
follow
.
THe
first
Remedie
against
this
device
of
Satan
,
is
,
seriously
to
consider
,
that
grace
is
taken
two
wayes
.
First
,
't
is
taken
for
the
gracious
good
will
and
favour
of
God
,
whereby
he
is
pleased
of
his
owne
free
love
,
to
accept
of
some
in
Christ
for
his
owne
.
This
some
call
the
first
grace
,
because
't
is
the
fountaine
of
all
other
graces
,
and
the
Spring
from
whence
they
flow
;
and
it
's
therefore
called
grace
,
because
it
makes
a
man
gracious
with
God
,
but
this
is
only
in
God
.
Secondly
,
grace
is
taken
for
the
gifts
of
grace
,
and
they
are
of
two
sorts
,
common
,
or
special
.
Some
are
common
to
Beleevers
,
and
hypocrites
,
as
a
gift
of
knowledge
,
a
gift
of
prayer
,
&c.
Some
are
special
graces
,
and
they
are
proper
,
and
peculiar
to
the
Saints
,
as
faith
,
humility
,
meeknesse
,
love
,
patience
,
&c.

restraining
grace
;
betwixt
sanctifyng
grace
,
and
temporary
grace
,
and
this
I
shall
shew
you
in
these
following
particulars
1.
True
grace
makes
all
glorious
within
and
without
.
The
Kings
daughter
is
all
glorious
within
,
her
raiment
is
of
wrought
gold
.
True
grace
makes
the
underastanding
glorious
,
the
will
glorious
,
the
affections
glorious
,
it
casts
a
generall
glory
upon
all
the
noble
parts
of
the
soule
;
The
Kings
daughter
is
all
glorious
within
:
And
as
it
makes
the
inside
glorious
,
so
it
makes
the
out-side
glorious
;
Her
cloathing
is
of
wrought
gold
;
it
makes
men
looke
gloriously
,
and
speak
gloriously
,
and
walke
,
and
act
gloriously
:
so
that
vaine
souls
shall

forced
to
say
,
that
these
are
they
that
have
seen
Jesus
;
as
grace
is
a
fire
to
burn
up
,
and
consume
the
drosse
,
and
filth
of
the
soule
,
so
it
is

.
True
grace
makes
all
new
,
the
inside
new
,
and
the
out-side
new
;
If
any
man
be
in
Christ
he
is
a
new
creature
;
but
temporary
grace
doth
not
this
.
True
grace
changes
the
very
nature
of
a
man
,
morall
vertue
doth
only
restrain
,
or
chain
up
the
outward
man
;
it
doth
not
change
the
whole
man
;
a
Lion
in
a
grate
is
a
Lion
still
,
he
is
restrained
,
but
not
changed
;
for
he
retains
his
Lion-like
nature
still
:
so
temporary
graces
restraine
many
men
from
this
and
that
wickedness
,
but
it
doth
not
change
and
turn
their
hearts
from
wickednesse
;
but
now
true
grace
,
that
turnes
a
Lion
into
a
Lamb
,
as
you
may
see
in
Paul
,
Mary
Magdalen
,
&c.
2.
The
objects
of
true
grace
are
supernaturall
;
true
grace
is
conversant
about
the
choisest
,
and
the
highest
objects

a
Kingdome
that

,
a
Crown
of
glory
that
withers
not
,
and
Heavenly
treasures
that
rust
not
.
The
objects
of
temporary
grace
are
low
,
and
poor
,
and
alwayes
within
the
compasse
of
reasons
reach
.
3.
True
grace
inables
a
Christian
(
when
he
is
himselfe
)
to
do
spirituall
actions
with
reall
pleasure
and
delight
.
To
souls
truly
gracious
,
Christs
yoke
is
easie
,
and
his
burden
is
light
,
his
commandements
are
not
grievous
,
but
joyous
;
I
delight
in
the
law
of
God
after
the
inward
man
,
saith
Paul
;
the
blessed
man
is
described
by
this
,
that
he
delights
in
the
law
of
the
Lord
;
'T
is
joy
to
the
just
to
doe
judgment
,
all
the
wayes
of
the
Lord
are
pleasantnesse
,
and
his
paths
are
peace
.
But
to
souls
that
have
but
temporary
grace
,
but
morall
vertues
,
religious
services
,
are
a
toile
,
not
a
pleasure
;
a
burden
,
and
not
a
delight
:
Wherefore
have
we
fasted
say
they
,
and
thou
seest
not
?
wherefore
have
wee
afflicted
our
soules
,
and
thou
takest
no
knowledg
,
&c.
Yee
have
said
(
say
those
in
Malachi
)
it
is
vaine
to
serve
God
,
and
what
profit
is
it
that
wee
have
kept
his
Ordinances
,
and
that
we
have
walked
mournfully
before
the
Lord
of
Hosts
?
When
will
the
new
Moone
be
gone
(
say
those
in
Amos
)
that
we
may
sell
corne
?
and
the
Sabbath
,
that
we
may
set
forth
wheat
,
making
the
Epha
small
,
and
the
shekell
great
,
and
falsifying
the
balances
by
deceit
.
Fourthly
,
True
grace
makes
a
man
most
carefull
,
and
most
fearfull
of
his
owne
heart
;
it
makes
him
most
studious
about
his
owne
heart
,
informing
that
,
examining
that
,
and
Judus
,
Demas
,
and
the
Pharisees
had
,
&c.
5.
Grace
will
work
a
mans
heart
to
love
,
and
cleave
to
the
strictest
,
and
h●liest
wayes
and
things
of
God
,
for
their
purity
and
sanctity
,
in
the
face
of
all
dangers
and
hardships
;
Thy
word
is
very
pure
,
therefore
thy
servant
loveth
it
;
others
love
it
,
and
like
it
,
and
follow
it
,
for
the
credit
,
the
honour
,
the
advantage
that
they
get
by
it
;
but
I
love
it
for
the
spirituall
beauty
and
purity
of
it
.
So
the
Psalmist
,
All
this
is
come
upon
us
,
yet
have
we
not
forgotten
thee
,
neither
have
we
dealt
falsly
in
thy
Covenant
.
Our
heart
is
not
turned
backe
,
neither
have
our
steps
declined
from
thy
way
.
Though
thou
hast
sore
broken
us
in
the
place
of
Dragons
,
and
covered
us
with
the
shadowes
of
death
.
But
temporary
grace
that
will
not
beare
up
the
soule
against
all
oppositions
and
discouragements
in
the
wayes
of
God
,
as
is
cleare
by
their
apostacie
in
that
sixt
6.
True
grace
will
inable
a
man
to
step
over
the
worlds
Crown
,
to
take
up
Christs
Crosse
,
to
preferre
the
crosse
of
Christ
above
the
glory
and
bravery
of
this
world
.
It
inabled
Abraham
,
and
Moses
,
and
Daniel
,
with
those
other
Godfrey
of
Bullen
,
first
King
of
Jerusalem
,
refused
to
be
crowned
with
a
Crown
of
Gold
,
saying
,
that
it
became
Tim.

The
King
of
Navarr
told
Beza
,
that
in
the
cause
of
Religion
hee
would
launch
no
further
into
the
Sea
,
then
he
might
be
sure
to
return
safe
to
the
Haven
.
not
a
Christian
to
weare
a
Crowne
of
Gold
,
where
Christ
had
wore
a
Crown
of
thornes
;
oh
!
but
temporary
grace
cannot
work
the
soul
,
to
prefer
Christs
crosse
above
the
worlds
Crowne
;
but
when
these
two
meet
,
a
temporary
Christian
steps
over
Christs
crosse
,
to
take
up
,
and
keep
up
the
worlds
crown
.
Demas
hath
forsaken
us
to
embrace
this
present
world
.
So
the
young
man
in
the
Gospel
had
many
good
things
in
him
,
he
bid
fair
for
Heaven
,
and
came
neer
to
Heaven
;
but
when
Christ
set
his
Crosse
before
him
,
he
steps
over
that
to
enjoy
the
worlds
Crown
.
When
Christ
bid
him
goe
,
and
sell
all
that
he
had
and
give
to
the
poor
,
&c.
He
went
away
sorrowfull
,
for
he
had
great
possessions
.
If
Heaven
be
to
be
had
upon
no
other
terms
,
Christ
may
keep
his
Heaven
to
himselfe
,
hee
'l
have
none
,
&c.
Then
in
the
seventh
place
,
consider
this
,
that
sanctifying
grace
,
renewing
grace
puts
the
soule
upon
spirituall
duties
,
from
spirituall
and
intrinsical
motives
,
as
from
the
sense
of
divine
love
,
that
doth
constrain
the
soul
to
wait
on
Saul
,
Jehu
,
Judas
,
Demas
,
and
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
&c.
The
Abbot
in
Melancton
lived
strictly
,
and
walked
demurely
,
and
look'd
humbly
,
so
long
as
hee
was
but
a
Monke
;
but
when
by
his
seeming
extraordinary
sanctity
,
he
got
to
be
Abbot
,
hee
grew
intollerable
proud
and
insolent
;
and
being
asked
the
reason
of
it
,
confessed
,
that
his
former
lowly
look
was
,
but
to
see
,
if
he
could
find
the
keyes
of
the
Abbie
.
Such
poore
,
low
,
vaine
motives
work
temporary
soules
to
all
the
service
they
do
perform
,
&c.
8.
Saving
grace
,
renewing
grace
wil
cause
a
man
to
follow
the
Lord
fully
in
the
desertion
of
all

,
and
in
the
observation
of
all
Gods
precepts

crucified

Christ

them

to
set

As
the
house
of
Saul
grew
weaker
and
weaker
,
and
the
house
of
David
grew
stronger
and
stronger
,
so
the
Lord
by
the
discoveries
of
his
love
,
and
by
the
influences
of
his
spirit
,
he
causes
grace
,
the
noble
part
of
a
Saint
,
to
grow
stronger
and
stronger
,
and
corruption
like
the
house
of
Saul
,
to
grow
weaker
and

.
But
sin
in
a
wicked
heart
gets
ground
,
and
growes
stronger
and
stronger
;
notwithstanding
all
his
conflicts
,
his
heart
is
more
encouraged
,
emboldened
,
and
hardened
in
a
way
of
sin
,
as
you
may
see
in
the
Israelites
,
Pharoah
,
Jehu
,
and
Judas
;
who
doubtlesse
found
many
strange
conflicts
,
●umults
,
and
mutinies
in
their
souls
,
when
God
spake
such
bitter
things
against
them
,
and
did
such
justice
upon
them
.
But
remember
this
by
way
of
Caution
,
though
Christ
hath
given
sinne
its
deaths
wound
(
by
his
power
,
spirit
,
death
,
and
resurrection
)
yet
it
will
die
but
a
lingring
death
:
As
a
man
that
is
mortally
wounded
,
dies
by
little
and
little
,
so
doth
sin
in
the
heart
of
a
Saint
.
The
death
of
Christ
on
the
Crosse
was
a
lingring
death
,
so
the
death
of
sin
in
the
soule
,
is
a
lingering
death
,
now
it
dies
a
little
,
and
anon
it
dies
a
little

&c.
as
the
Psalmist
speaks
,
Slay

my
people
forget
,
scatter
them
by
thy
power
,
and
bring
them

oh
Lord
our

He
would
not
have
them
utterly
destroyed
,
but
some
reliques
preserved
as
a

:
so
God
dealeth
in

of

't

be
under
for
sin
,
nor
in
the
sweetest
,
or
chosest
discoveries
of
Gods
grace
,
and
love
to
the
soule
;
as
for
ever
to
fence
,
and
secure
the
soule
from
relapsing
into
the
same
sin
;
Grace
is
but
a
created
habite
,
that
may
be
prevailed
against
by
the
secret
,
subtile
,
and
strong
workings
of
sin
in
our
hearts
:
And
those
discoveries
that
God
makes
of
his
love
,
beauty
,
and
glory
to
the
soule
,
doe
not
always
abide
in
their
freshnesse
,
and
power
upon
the
heart
;
but
by
degrees
they
fade
,
and
weare
off
,
and
then
the
soule
may
return
again
to
folly
;
As
we
see
in
Peter
,
who
after
he
had
a
glorious
testimony
Yet
by
way
of
caution
,
know
it
's
very
rare
,
that
God
doth
leave
his
beloved
ones
frequently
,
to
relapse
into
one
and
the
same
grosse
sin
;
for
the
law
of
nature
is
in
armes
against
grosse
sins
,
aswell
as
the
law
of
grace
;
so
that
a
gracious
soule
cannot
,
dares
not
,
will
not
frequently
returne
to
grosse
folly
.
And
God
hath
made
even
his
dearest
ones
dearly
smart
for
their
relapses
,
as
may
be
seen
by
his
dealings
with
Samson
,
Iehosaphat
,
and
Peter
;
Ah
Lord
!
what
a
hard
heart
hath
that
man
,
that
can
see
thee
stripping
and
whipping
thy
dearest
ones
for
their
relapses
,
and
yet
make
nothing
of
returning
to
folly

The
eighth
Device
that
Satan
BY
perswading
them
that
theis
estate
is
not
good
,
their
hearts
are
not
upright
,
their
graces
are
not
sound
,
b●cause
they
are
so
followed
,
vexed
,
and
tormented
with
'
temptations
;
't
is
his
method
,
first
to
vex
,
and
weary
the
soul
with
temptations
,
and
then
to
tempt
the
soule
,
that
surely
't
is
not
beloved
,
Now
the
remedies
against
this
Device
of
Satan
are
these
that
follow
.
THe
first
Remedie
against

Device
And
the
Lord
said

Simon

Simon
,
behold
Satan
hath
desired
to
have
you
,
that
he
may
sift
you
as
wheat
:
But
I
have
prayed
for
thee
,
that
thy
faith
faile
thee
not
,
&c.
Paul
had
the
honour
of
being
exalted
as
high
as
high
as
heaven
,
and
of
seeing
that
glory
that
could
not
be
exprest
;
and
yet
hee
was
no
sooner
stept
out
of
Heaven
,
but
he
is
buffetted
by
Satan
,
lest
he
should
be
exalted
above
measure
.
If
It
is
as
natural
for
Saints
to
be
tempted
that
are
dearly
beloved
,
as
't
is
for
the
Sun
to
shine
,
or
a
bird
to
sing
;
the
E●gle
complains
not
of
her
wings
,
nor
the
Peacock
of
his
train
,
nor
the
Nightingale
of
her
voyce
,
because
these
are
naturall
to
them
;
no
more

S

of
their
temptations
,
because
they
are
naturall
to
them
;
For
wee
wrestle
not
against
flesh
and
blood
,
but
against
principalities
,
against
powers
,
against
the
Rulers
of
the
darknesse
of
this
world
,
against
spirituall
wickednesse
in
high

verse

with

and
ends
with
it
;
if
he
had
not
been
buffeted
,
who

how
his

would
have
swelled
;
hee
might
have
been
carried

in

then
before
he
was
in

extacie

The
school
of
temptation
is
a
choise
school
,
a
school
wherein
God
gives
his
people
the
clearest
,
and
the
sweetest
discoveries
of
his
love
;
a
school
wherein
God
teaches
his
people
to
be
more
frequent
,
and
fervent
in
duty
;
when
Paul
was
buffeted
,
then
he
prayed
thrice
,
that
is
,
frequently
,
and
fervently
;
A
schoole
wherein
God
teaches
his
people
to
be
more
tender
,
meek
,
and
compassionate
to
other
poor
tempted
souls
then
ever
;
A
school
wherein
God
teaches
his
people
to
see
a
greater
evill
in
sinne
then
ever
,
and
a
greater
emptiness
in
the
creature
then
ever
,
and
a
greater
need
of
Christ
,
and
free-grace
then
ever
;
A
school
wherein
God
will
teach
his
people
,
that
all
temptations
are
but
his
Gold-smiths
,
by
which
he
will
try
,
and
refine
,
and
make
his
people
more
bright
and
glorious
.
The
issue
of
all
temptations
shall
be
the
good
of
the
Saints
;
as
you
may
see
by
the
temptations
that
Adam
,
and
Eve
,
and
Christ
,
and
David
,
and
Job
,
and
Peter
,
and
Paul
met
with
.
Those
hands
of
power
,
and
love
that
bring
light
out
of
darknesse
,
good
out
of
evill
,
sweet
out
of
bitter
,
life
out
of
death
,
Heaven
out

,
will
bring
much
sweet
and
good
to
his
people
,
out
of
all
the
temptations
that
come
upon
them
.
The
third
Remedie
against
this
Device
get
thee
behind
mee
Satan
;
and
with
that
young
Convert
,
I
am
not
the
man
that
I
Christianus
sum
)
I
am
a
Christian
;
if
a
mans
temptations
be
his
greatest
affliction
,
then
is
the
temptation
no
sin
upon
his
soule
,
though
it
be
a
trouble
upon
his
mind
:
when
a
soule
can
look
the
Lord
in
the
face
,
and
say
,
ah
Lord
!
I
have
many
outward
troubles
now
upon
me
,
I
have
lost
such
and
such
a
neere
mercy
,
and
such
and
such
dear
desirable
mercies
,
and
yet
thou
that
knowest
the
heart
,
thou
knowest
that
all
my
crosses
and
losses
do
not
make
so
many
wounds
in
my
soule
,
nor
fetch
so
many
sighes
from
my
heart
,
nor
teares
from
my
eyes
,
as
those
temptations
doe
,
that
Satan
follows
my
soul
with
:
when
't
is
thus
with
the
soule
,
then
temptations
are
only
the
souls
trouble
,
they
are
not
the
souls
sin
.
Satan
is
a
malious
and
envious
enemie
;
envious
Man
;
and
this
malice
,
and
envy
of
his
,
he
shewes
sometimes
by
tempting
men
to
such
sins
as
are
quite
contrary
to
the
temperature
of
their
bodies
,
as
he
did
Vespasian
and
Julian
,
men
of
sweet
and
excellent
natures
to
be
most
bloody
murtherers
;
and
sometimes
hee
shews
his
malice
,
by
tempting
men
to
such
things
as
shall
bring
hi●
no
honour
,
nor
profit
,
&c.
fall
downe
and
worship
mee
,
to
blasphemie
,
and
Atheisme
,
&c.
the
thoughts
and
first
motions
whereof
cause
the
bea
rt
and
the
flesh
to
tremble
;
And
sometimes
he
shewes
his
malice
,
by
tempting
them
to
those
sins
,
which
they
have
not
found
their
natures
prone
to
,
and
which
they
abhor
in
others
,
&c.
Now
if
the
soule
resists
these
,
and
complains
of
these
,
and
groanes
and
mourns
under
these
,
and
lookes
up
to
the
Lord
Jesus
to
be
delivered
from
these
,
then
shall
they
not
be
put
down
to
the
soules
account
,
but
to
Satans
,
who
shall
be
so
much
the
more
tormented
,
by
how
much
the
more
the
Saints
have
beene
by
him
maliciously
tempted
,
&c.
Make
present
and
peremptory
resistance
against
Satans
temptations
,
bid
defiance
to
the
temptation
at
first
sight
;
Mistris
Katherine
Bretterge
,
once
,
after
a
great
conflict
with
Satan
,
said
,
Reason
not
with
me
,
I
am
but
a
weake
woman
;
if
thou
hast
any
thing
to
say
,
say
it
to
my
Christ
,
he
is
my
Advocate
,
my
strength
,
and
my
redeemer
,
and
he
shall
plead
for
me
.
Men
must
not
seek
to
resist
Satans
craft
with
craft
(
sed
per
apertum
martem
)
but
by
open
defiance
;
he
shoots
with
Satan
in
his
own
bow
;
who
thinks
by
disputing
and
reasoning
to
put
him
off
.
As
soon
as
a
temptation
shewes
its
face
,
say
to
the
temptation
,
as
Ephraim
to
his
idols
;
get
you
hence
,
what
have
I
any
more
to
doe
with
you
?
oh
!
say
to
the
temptation
,
as
David
said
to
the
sonnes
of
Zerviah
;
What
have
I
to
doe
with
you
?
Make
strong
and
constant
resistance
And
looke
that
you
make
constant
resistance
,
as
well
as
strong
resistance
;
be
constant
in
armes
,
Satan
will
come
on
with
new
temptations
;
when
old
For
a
close
of
this

that
t

Sidonius
Apolinaris
relateth
,
how
a
certain
man
named
Maximus
,
arriving
at
the
top
of
honour
,
by
indirect
meanes
,
was
the
first
day
very
much
wearied
,
and
fetching
a
deep
sigh
,
said
,
Oh
Damocles
!
how
happie
doe
I
esteem
thee
,
for
having
been
a
King
but

I

and
can
beare
it
no
longer

I
will
leave
you
to
make

The
fourth
thing
to
be
shewed
,
is
,
the
severall
wayes
and
devices
that
Satan
hath
to
destroy
and
ensnare
all
sorts
and
rankes
of
men
in
the
world
.
I
Shall
begin
with
the
honourable
and
the
great
,
and
shew
you
the
Devices
that
Satan
hath
to
destroy
them
;
I
will

instance
in
those
that
are
most
considerable

&c.
But
were
the
Scripture
silent
,
our
owne
experiences
do
abundantly
evidence
this
way
and
method
of
Satan
,
to
destroy
the
great
,
and
the
honourable
,
to
bury
their
names
in
the
dust
,
and
their
souls
in
Hell
,
by
drawing
them
wholly
to
mind
themselves
,
and
onely
to
minde

,
and
in
all
things
to
minde

,
and
always
to

Now
the
Remedies
against
this
Device
of
Satan
are
these
that
follow
.
THe
first
Remedie
against
this
Device
and
selling
the
righteous
for
silver
,
and
the
poore
for
a
paire
of
shooes
,
&c.
I
know
not
any
sin
in
the
world
,
but
this
sin
of
selfe-seeking
will
put
men
upon
it
,
though
it
be
their
eternall
losse
.
The
second
Remedie
against
this
Device
Iudas
,
Demas
,
Balaam
,
and
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
.
Selfe-seekers
bow
downe
to
the
creatures
;
as
Gideons
many
thousands
bowed
down
to
the
waters
;
self-seeking
will
make
a
man
say
any
thing
,
do
any
thing
,
and
be
any
thing
,
to
please
the
lusts
of
others
,
&
to
get
advantages
upon
others
;
self-seeking
transforms
a
man
into
all
shapes
,
and
formes
;
now
'T
is
said
of
Tiberius
,
that
whilst
Augustus
rul'd
,
he
was
no
wayes
tainted
in
his
reputation
;
and
that
whilst
Drusus
and
Germanicus
were
alive
,
hee
feigned
those
vertues
which
hee
had
not
,
to
maintain
a
good
opinion
of
himselfe
in
the
hearts
of
the
people
;
but
after
hee
had
got
himself
out
of
the
reach
of
contradiction
,
and
controulment
,
there
was
no
fact
in
which
he
was
not
faulty
,
no
crime
to
which
he
was
not
accessary
.
My
prayer
shall
be
,
that
Tiberius
his
spirit
may
not
be
found
in
any
of
our
Rulers
,
left
it
prove
their
ruine
,
as
it
did
his
;
and
that
where
ever
it
is
,
it
may
be
detected
,
loathed
,
and
ejected
,
that
so
neither
the
State
,
nor
soules
may
be
ruin'd
by
it
,
&c.

that

The
fifth
Remedy
against

Moses
;
And
the
Lord
said
unto
Moses
,
let
me
alone
that
I
may
destroye
them
,
and
blot
out
their
name
from
under
Heaven
,
and
I
will
make
of
thee
a
Nation

and
greater

oh

but
this
offer
would
not
pardon
I
beseech
thee
the
iniquity
of
this
people
,
according
unto
the
greatnesse
of
thy
mercy
,
and
as
thou
hast
forgiven
this
people
from
Egypt
untill
now
.
And
the
Lord
said
,
I
have
pardoned
according
to
thy
word
.
A●●●hould
God
make
such
an
offer
to
many
that
write
themselves
Moses
,
and
are
called
by
many
,
Moses
,
I
am
afraid
they
would
prefer
their
own
advantage
above
the
from
the
time
that
I
was
appointed
to
be
their
Governour
in
the
Land
of
Judah
,
from
the
twentieth
yeer
,
even
unto
the
two
and
thirtieth
yeare
of
Artaxerxes
the
King
,
that
is
,
twelve
yeares
;
I
and
my
brethren
have
not
eaten
the
bread
of
the
Governour
.
Yea
,
also
I
continued
in
the
worke
of
this
wall
,
neither
bought
we
any
land
,
and
all
my
servants
were
gathered
thither
unto
the
worke
.
Moreover
,
there
were
at
my
table
an
hundred
and
fifty
of
the
Jewes
and
Rulers
,
besides
those
that
came
unto
us
from
among
the
Heathen
that
are
about
us
.
Now
that
which
was
prepared
for
me
daily
,
was
one
Oxe
,
and
sixe
choice
sheep
:
also
fowles
were
prepared
for
me
,
and
once
in
ten
dayes
store
of
all
sorts
of
wine
;
yet
for
all
this
required
not
I
the
bread
of
the
Governour
,
because
the
bondage
was
heavy
upon
the
people
.
Thinke
upon
me
,

,
according
to
all
that
I

done
for

So
Daniel
was
a
man
of
a
brave
publick
spirit
;
Then
the
Presidents
and
Princes
sought
to
finde
occasion
against
Daniel
,
concerning
the
Kingdome
,
but
they
could
finde
no
occasion
nor
fault
,
for
as
much
as
he
was
faithfull
,
neither
was
there
any
errour
,
or
fault
found
in
him
.
Then
said
these
men
,
we
shall
not
finde
any
occasion
against
this
Daniel
,
except
we
finde
it
against
him
,
concerning
the
law
of
his
God
.
Christ
had
a
publick
spirit
,
hee
laid
out
himselfe
,
and
laid
down
himselfe
for
a
publick
good
.
Oh!
never
leave
looking
and
meditating
upon
these
precious
and
sweet
examples
,
till
your
soules
are
quickned
,
and
raised
up
,
to
act
for
the
publick
good
,
more
then
for
your
owne
particular
advantage
;
many
Augustus
Caesar
(
in
whose
time
Christ
was
borne
)
that
hee
carried
such
an
entire
and
fatherly
affection
to
the
Common-wealth
,
that
he
called
it
(
filiam
suam
)
his
own
daughter
,
and
therefore
refused
to
be
called
(
Dominus
)
the
Lord
or
Master
of
his
Countrey
,
and
would
only
be
called
(
pater
patriae
)
Father
of
his
Countrey
,
because
he
governed
it
not
by
feare
(
per
timorem
sed
per
amorem
)
but
by
love
;
the
Senate
and
the
people
of
Rome
joyntly
saluting
him
,
by
the
name
of
(
pater
patriae
)
Father
of
his
Countrey
.
The
people
very
much
lamented
his
death
,
using
that
speech
,
Would
hee
had
never
been
borne
,
or
never
dyed
.
So
Marcus
Regulus
,
to
save
his
Countrey
from
ruine
,
exposed
himselfe
to
the
greatest
sufferings
that
the
malice
and
rage
of
his
Enemies
could
inflict
.
So
Titus
and
Aristides
,
and
many
others
have
been
famous
for
their
preferring
the
publick
good
above
their
own
advantage
.
My
prayer
is
,
and
shall
be
,
that
all
our
Rulers
may
be
so
spirited
by
God
,
that
they
may
be
willing
to
be
any
thing
,
to
be
nothing
,
to
deny
themselves
,
and
to
trample
their
sinfull
selves
under
feet
,
in
order
to
the
honour
of
God
,
and
a
publick
good
,
that
so
neither
Saints
nor
Heathens
may
be
witnesses
against
them
in
that
day
,
wherein
the
hearts
&
practises
of
all
the
Rulers
in
the
world
shall
be
open
,
and
bare
before
him
that
shall
judge
the
world
in
Righteousness
,
and
Judgment
,

Behold

I

thou

This

But
they

The

Remedie
against
this
device
of
(
They
two

one
flesh
;
This
is
a
great
Mistery
,
but
I
speake

We
are
members
of
his

of
his

the

is
set
forth
by

union
that
is
between

and
by

which

is
so

that
you

God

Remedy

with
those
sweet
words
of

Psalmist

In
Salem
also
is
his
Tabernacle

the
Remedies
against
this
Device
of
Satan
are
these
that
follow

THe
first
Remedy
against
this
Device
What
hast
thou
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
that
thou
hast
not
received
?
And
if
thou
hast
received
it
,
why
dost
thou
glory
as
though
thou
hadst
not
received
it
?
There
are
those
that
would
hammer
out
their
owne
happinesse
,
like
the
Spider
climbing
up
by
the
thread
of
her
owne
weaving
;
of
all
the
parts
and
abilities
that
be
in
you
,
you
may
well
say
,
as
the
young
man
did
of
his
Hatchet
,
Alas
Master
!
it
was
but
borrowed
;
Alas
Lord
!
all
I
have
is
but
borrowed
from
that
Fountaine
that
fills
all
the
Vessel
in
Heaven
,
and
on
Earth
,
and
it
overflowes
;
my

,
in
their
dependance
upon
God
,
in
their
affections
to
God
,
and
in
their
humble
,
holy
,
and
unblamable
walking
before
God
;
Is
it
folly
and
madnesse
in
a
man
,
to
make
light
and
slight
of
another
,
because
he
is
not
so
rich
in
lead
,
or
iron
,
as
he
,
when
he
is
a
thousand
thousand
times
richer
in
silver
and
in

,
in

,
and
in
Pearls
,
then

And
is
it
not
madnesse
and
folly

a
witnesse
,
in
those
that
have
greater
parts
and
abilities
then
others
,
●o
slight
them
upon
that
account
,
when
that
those
very
persons
,
that
they
make
light
and
slight
of

have
a
thousand
times
more
grace
then
they
?
And
yet
ah
!
how
doth
this
evill
spirit
prevaile
in
the
world
?
'T
was
the
sad
complaint
of
Austin
in
his
time
,
The
unlearned
(
said
rise
up
,
and
take
Heaven
by
violence
,
and
we
with
all
our
learning
are
thrust
down
to
hell
;
't
is
sad
to
see
,
how
many
of
the
Rabbies
of
these
times
,
doe
make
an
Idol
of
their
parts
and
abilities
;
and
with
what
an
eye
of
pride
,
scorne
,
and
contempt
doe
they
looke
upon
those
that
want
their
parts
,
and
that
doe
not
worship
the
idoll
that
they
have
set
up
in
their
own
hearts
.
Paul
who
was
the
great
Doctor
of
the
Gentiles
,
did
wonderfully
transcend
in
all
parts
and
abilities
,
the
Doctors
and
Rabbies
of
our
times
,
and
yet
ah
!
how
humbly
,
how
tenderly
,
how
sweetly
doth
he
carry
himselfe
towards
the
meanest
and
the

that
I
might

all

is

,
and
I
am
not

?
who

I

But
ah
!
how
little
of
this
sweet
spirit
is
to
be
found
in
the
Doctors
of
our
age
,
who
look
sowrely
,
&
speak
bitterly
against
those
that
doe
not
see

they

,
nor
cannot

The
fourth
Remedy
against
this
Device
is
the
sword
of
the
Lord
upon
their
arme
,
and
upon
their
right
eye
?
How
is
their
arm
clean
dried
up
,
and
their
right
eye
utterly
darkned
?
as
the
Prophet
speaks
.
This
is
matter
of
humiliation
and
lamentation
;
many
precious
discerning
Saints
doe
see
this
,
and
in
secret
mourn
for
it
;
and
oh
!
that
they
were
kindly
sensible
of
Gods
withdrawing
from
them
,
that
they
may
repent
,
keep
humble
,
and
carry
it
sweetly
towards
Gods
Jewels
,
and
lean
only
upon
the
Lord
,
and
not
upon
their
parts
and
understanding
,
that
so
the
Lord
may
delight
to
visit
them
with
his
grace
,
at
such
a
rate
,
as
that
their
faces
may
shine
more
gloriously
then
ever
,
and
they
may
be
more
serviceable
to
the
honour
of
Christ
,
and
the
faith
of
the
Saints
,
then
formerly
they
have
been

Thirdly

Satan
hath
his
Devices
to
destroy
the
Saints
,
&
one
great
Device
that
he
hath
to
destroy
the
Saints
,
is
,
BY
working
them
first
to
be
strange
,
to
bite
and
devoure
one
another
;
our
owne
wofull
experi●nce
is
too
great
a
proof
of
this
.
The
Israelites
in
Aegypt
did
not
more
vex
one
another
,
then
Christians
in
these
dayes
have
done
,
which
occasioned
a
deadly
consumption
to
fall
upon
some
.
Now
the
remedies
against
this
Device
of
Satan
are
these
that
follow
.

Vespasianus
(
the
Emperour

ah

that

not
the

of

that

that
they
were

all
the

,
and
to

over
all
those
things
that

The
ninth
Remedie
against
this
Device
Now
then
we
are
Ambassadors
for
Christ
,
as
though
God
did
beseech
you
by
us
:
wee
pray
you
in
Christs
stead
,
be
ye
reconciled
to
God
Gods
grace
first
kneels
to
us
,
and
who
can
turn
their
backs
upon
such
blessed
,
and
bleeding
embracements
;
but
soul●
,
in
whom
Satan
the
God
of
this
world
kings
it
?
God
is
the
party
wronged
,
and
yet
he
sues
for
peace
with
us
at
first
.
I
said
,
behold
me
,
behold
mee
,
unto
a
Nation
that
was
not
called
by
my
name
;
ah
!
how
doth
Goe
your
wayes
,
and
tell
his
Disciples
and
Peter
,
that
he
goeth
before
you
into
Galilee
,
there
shall
yee
see
him
,
as
he
said
unto
you
.
Ah
souls
!
't
is
not
a
base
,
low
thing
,
but
a
God-like
thing
,
though
we
are
wronged
by
others
,
yet
to
be
the
first
in
seeking
after
peace
,
such
actings
will
speake
out
much
of
God
with
a
mans
spirit
,
&c.
Christians
!
't
is
not
matter
of
liberty
,
whether
you
will
,
or
you
will
not
pursue
after
peace
;
but
't
is
matter
of
duty
that
lies
upon
you
,
you
are
bound
by
expresse
precepts
to
follow
after
peace
;
and
though
it
may
seem
to
flie
from
you
,
yet
you
must
pursue
after
it
.

peace

without
which
no

.
Peace
and
holiness
is
to
be
pursued
after
with
the
greatest
eagernesse
that
can
be
imagined
:
So
the
Psalmist
,
Depart
from
evill
,
and
do
good
,
seeke
peace
,
and
pursue
it
;
the
Hebrew
word
that
is
here
rendred
seeke
is
in
Pihil
,
and
it
signifies
to
seeke
earnestly
,
vehemently
,
affectionately

Let
us
follow
after
the
things
that
make

,
and

wherewith

Ah!
you
froward
,
sower
,
dogged
Christians
,
can
you
looke
upon
these
commands
of
God
without
teares
,
and
blushing
?
I
have
read
a
remarkable
story
of
Aristippus
,
though
but
a
Heathen
,
Who
whet
their
tongues
like
a
sword
,
and
bend
their
bowes
to
shoot
their
arrowes
,
even
bitter
words
.
The
tenth
Remedie
against
this
device
I
presse
toward
the
marke
for
the
price
of
the
high
calling
of
God
,
in
Christ
Jesus
.
Let
us
therefore
as
many
as
be
perfect
(
comparatively
,
or
conceitedly
so
)
be
thus
minded
:
and
if
in
any
thing
ye
be
otherwise
minded
,
God
shall
reveale
even
this
unto
you
.
Nevertherlesse
,
whereto
we
have
already
attained
,
let
us
walke
by
the
same
rule
,
let
us
minde
the
same
thing
.
Ah
Christians
!
God
looses
much
,
and
you
loose
much
,
and
Satan
gains
much
by
this
,
that
you
doe
not
,
that
you
will
not
walke
lovingly
together
,
so
far
as
your
wayes
lye
together
;
'T
is
your
sinne
and
shame
that
you
doe
not
,
that
you
will
not
pray
together
,
and
heare
together
,
and
conferr
together
,
and
mourn
together
,
&c.
because
that
He
will
breake
their
bones
,
and
pierce
their
hearts
;
but
he
will
cure
them
of
this
malady
,
&c.
And
be
sure
you
make
the
word
the
onely
Touch-stone
,
and
Judge
of
all
persons
and
actions
.
To
the
Law
and
to
the
Testimony
,
if
they
speake
not
according
to
this
word
,
't
is
because
there
is
no
light
in
them
.
'T
is
best
and
safest
,
to
make
that
to
be
the
judge
of
all
men
,
and
things
now
,
that
all
shall
be
judged
by
in
the
latter
day
.
The
word
(
saith
Christ
)
that
I
have
spoken
,
the
same
shall
judg
him
in
the
last
day
.
Make
not
your
dim
light
,
your
notions
,
your
fancies
,
your
opinions
,
the
Judge
of
mens
actions
,
but
still
judge
by
rule
,
and
plead
,
't
is

,
when
a
vaine
,
importunate
soule
cryed
out
in
contest
with
a
holy
man
,
heare

Constantine
in

the
disputes
before

the

The
11.
Remedy
against
this
Device
Judge
your selves
,
and
you
shall
not
be
judged
of
the
Lord
:
ah
!
were
Christians
Judge
not
that
yee
be
not
judged
.
For
with
what
judgement
yee
judge
,
yee
shall
be
judged
:
and
with
what
measures
ye
meet
,
it
shall
be
measured
to
you
again
.
Judge
not
according
to
appearance
,
but
judge
righteous
judgment
.
Let
not
him
that
eateth
not
,
judg
him
that
eateth
,
for
God
hath
received
him
.
Why
dost
thou
iudge
thy
brother
?
or
why
dost
thou
set
at
nought
thy
brother
?
we
shall
all
stand
before
the
judgement-seat
of
Christ
.
Let
us
not
judge
one
another
any
more
,
but
judge
this
rather
,
that
no
man
put
a
stumbling
blocke
,
or
an
occasion
to
fall
in
his
brothers
way
.
Judg
nothing
before
the
time
,
untill
the
Lord
come
,
who
both
will
bring
to
light
the
hidden
things
of
darknesse
,
and
will
manifest
the
counsells
of
the
hearts
,
and
then
shall
every
man
have
praise
of
God
.
Speak
not
evill
one
of
another
(

)
he
that
speaketh
evill
of
his
brother
,
and
judgeth
his
brother
,
speaketh
evill
of
the
Law
,
&
judgeth
the
Law
;
but
if
thou
judgest
the
Law
,
thou
art
not
a
doer
of
the
law
,
but
a
Judge
.
There
is
one
Law-giver
,
who
is
able
to
save
,
and
to
destroy
:
who
art
thou
that
judgest
another
?
who
art
thou
that
judgest
another
mans
servant
?
to
his
own
Master
he
standeth
or
falleth
:
yea
,
he
shall
be
holden
up
,
for
God
is
able
to
make
him
stand
.

The
12.
Remedie
against
this
Device
labour
to
be
cloathed
with
humility
.
Humility
makes
a
man
peaceable
among
brethren
,
fruitfull
in
well
doing
,
cheerfull
in
suffering
,
and
constant
in
holy
walking
;
humility
fits
for
the
highest
services
wee
owe
to
Christ
,
and
yet
will
not
neglect
fulnesse
in
the
creature
,
nor
sweetnesse
in
sinne
,
nor
life
in
an
Ordinance
without
Christ
.
An
humble
soule
always
finds
three
things
on
this
side
Heaven
;
the
soule
to
be
empty
,
Christ
to
be
full
,
and
every
mercy
and
duty
to
be
sweet
,
wherein
God
is
injoyed
.
Humility
can
weep
over
other
mens
weaknesses
,
and
joy
,
and
rejoyce
over
their
graces
.
Humility
will
make

the

THe

Remedie

Device
without

,
the

As

can
come
into
a
dark
heart
,
but
it
must
passe
through
the
understanding
;
and
if
the
eye
be
darke
,
all
the
body
is
dark
.
A
leprous
head
,
and
a
leprous
heart
are
inseparable
companions
;
ignorant
hearts
are
so
evill
,
that
they
let
flye
on
all
hands
,
and
spare
not
to
spit
their
venone
in
the
very
face
of
God
,
as
Pharaoh
did
,
when
thick
darknesse
was
upon
him

that
do
erre
in
their
hearts
,
and
have
not
knowne
my
wayes
;
Wherefore
I
sware
in
my
wrath
,
they
should
never
enter
into
my
rest
.
My
people
are
a
people
of
no
understanding
,
therefore
he
that
made
them
,
will
have
no
mercy
on
them
Christ
hath
said
,
that
he
will
come
in
flaming
fire
to
render
vengeance
on
them
that
know
not
God
.
Ignorance
will
end
in
vengeance
:
When
you
see
a
poor
blind
man
here
,
you
doe
not
loath
him
,
nor
hate
him
,
but
you
pity
him
;
oh
!
but
soul-blindness
makes
you
abhominable
in
the
sight
of
God
;
God
hath
sworn
that
ignorant
persons
shall
never
come
into
Heaven
,
Heaven
My
people
are
destroyed
for
want
of
knowledge
;
because
thou
hast
rejected
knowledge
,
I
will
reject
thee
.
Chilo
one
of
the
seven
Sages
,
being
asked
what
God
had
done
,
answered
,
he
exalted
humble
men
,
and
suppressed
proud
,
ignorant
fooles
.
The
fourth
Remedie
against
this
device
of
Satan
,
is
,
to
consider
,
that
ignorance
is
a
sin
that
leads
to
all
sins
.
All
sins
are
seminally
in
ignorance
:
You
doe
erre
,
not
knowing
the
Scriptures
;
It
puts
men
upon
hating
and
persecuting
the
Saints
.
They
shall
hate
you
,
and
put
you
out
of
the
Synagogues
,
yea
,
the
time
cometh
,
that
whosoever
killeth
you
,
will
think
that

he
doth
God
service
.
And
these
things
will
they
doe
unto
you
,
because
they
have
not
known
the
Father
nor
me
.
Paul
thankes
his
ignorance
for
all
his
cruelties
to
Christians
.
I
was
a
blasphemer
,
and
a
persecutor
,
and
injurious
,
but
I
obtained
mercie
,
because
I
did
it
ignorantly
;
't
was
ignorance
that
put
the
Jewes
upon
crucifying
Christ
;
Eather
forgive
them
,
saith
Christ
of
his
murtherers
,
for
they
know
not
what
they
doe
;
for
if
the
Princes
of
this
world
had
known
,
they
would
not
have
crucified
the
Lord
of
glory
.
Sinne
at
the
first
was
the
cause
of
ignorance
,
but
now
ignorance
is
the
cause
of
all
sin
:
swearing
,
and
lying
,
and
killing
,
and
stealing
&
whoring
abound
,
saith
the
Prophet
,
because
there
is
no
knowledg
of
God
in
the
Land
.
There
are
none
so
frequent
,
and
so
impudent
in
the
wayes
of
sin
,
as
ignorant
soules
;
they
care
not
,
nor
mind
not
what
they
do
,
nor
what
they
say
against
God
,
Christ
,
Heaven
,
holinesse
,
and
their
own
soules
.
Our
tongues
are
our
owne
,
who
shall
controule
us
?
They
are
corrupt
,
and
speake
wickedly
,
concerning
oppression
,
they
speake
loftily
.
They
set
their
mouth
against
the
Heavens
,
and
their
tongue
walketh
through
the
earth
.
Have
all
the
workers
of
iniquity
no
knowledge
?
who
eate
up
my
people
as
they
eate
bread
,
and
call
not
upon
the
Lord
.
And
now
to
prevent
Objections
,
I
shall
lay
down
some
Propositions
,
or
Conclusions
concerning
Satan
and
his
Devices
,
and
then
give
you
the
Reasons
of
the
Point
,
and
so
come
to
make
some
Use
and
Application
of
the
whole
to
our selves
.
The
first
Proposition
or
Conclusion
I
shall
lay
downe
is
this
.
THat
though
Satan
hath
his
Devices
And
the
Lord
said
unto
the
woman
,
What
is
this
that
thou
hast
done
?
and
the
woman
said
,
the
Serpent
beguiled
me
,
and
I
did
eate

Sin
and
shifting
came
into
the
world
together
.
This
is
no
small
basenesse
of
our
hearts
,
that
they
will
be
naught
,
I
very
naught
,
and
yet
will
father
that
naughtinesse
upon
Satan
.
Man
hath
an
evill
root
within
him
;
that
were
there
no
Devil
to
tempt
him
,
nor
no
wicked
men
in
the
world
to
entice
him
,
yet
that
root
of
bitternesse
,
that
cursed
sinfull
nature
that
is
in
him
,
would
draw
him
to
sin
,
though
he
knows
before
hand
,
that
the
wages
of
sinne
is
eternall
death
.
For
out
of
the
heart
proceed
evill
thoughts
,
murders
,
adulteries
,
fornications
,
thefts
,
false
witnesses
,
blasphemies
.
The
whole
frame
of
man
is
The
second
Proposition
is
this
.
That
Satan
hath
a
great
hand
,
and
stroak
in
most
sinnes
.
'T
was
Satan
that
Get
thee
behind
me
,
Satan
.
he
is
called
a
murderer
from
the
beginning
.
'T
was
Satan
that
put
treason
into
the
heart
of
Judas
,
against
Christ
.
And
supper
being
ended
,
the
Devill
having
put
it
into
the
heart
of

to
betray
him
.

upon

:
Peter
said
,
Ananias
,
why
hath
Satan
filled
thine
heart
to
lie
to
the
holy
Ghost
?
As
the
hand
of
Ioab
was
in
the
tale
of
the
woman
of
Tekoah
,
so
Satans
hand
is
usually
in
all
the
sins
that
men
commit
;
such
is
Satans
malice
against
God
,
and
his
envy

against
man
,
that
he
will
have
a
hand
one
way
or
another
in
all
their
finnes
,
though
ke
knows
that
all
the
sins
that
he
provokes
others
to
,
shall
be
charged
upon
him
to
his
greater
woe
,
and
eternall
torment
.
Ambrose
brings
in
the
Devill
boasting
against
Christ
,
and
chalenging
Judas
as
his
owne
;
hee
is
not
thine
Lord
Jesus
,
hee
is
mine
;
his
thoughts
beat
for
me
;
he
eats
with
thee
,
but
is
fed
by
me
;
he
takes
bread
from
thee
,
but
money
from
me
;
he
drinks
wine
with
thee
,
and
sells
thy
blood
to
me
;
such
is
his
malice
against
Christ
,
and
his
wrath
and
rage
against
man
,
that
he
wil
take
all
advantages
to
draw
men
to
that
,
that
may
give
him
advantage
to
triumph
over
Christ
,
and
mens
soules
for
ever
.
The
third
Proposition
is
this
.
That
Satan
must
have
a
double
leave
,
They
could
not
so
much
as
enter
into
Satan
hath
desired
to

so
he
must
have
leave
of
us
:
when
he
tempts

we

all

's
a
remarkable
passage
of
the
Apostle
in
Acts
5.
3.
Why
hath
Satan
filled
thy
heart
to
lie
to
the
holy
Ghost
?
&c.
He
doth
not
expostulate
the
matter
with
Satan
,
he
doth
not
say
,
Satan
,
why
host
thou
filled
Ananias
heart
to
make
him
lie
to
the
holy
Ghost
?
but
he
expostulates
the
case
with
Ananias
;
Peter
said
,
Ananias
,
why
hath
Satan
filled
thine
heart
to
lie
to
the
holy
Ghost
?
Why
hast
thou
given
him
an
advantage
to
fill
thy
heart
with
infidelity
,
hypocrisie
,
and
obstinate
audacity
,
to
lie
to
the
holy
Ghost
?
as
If
he
had
said
,
Satan
could
never
have
done
this
in
thee
(
which
will
now
for
ever
undoe
thee
)
unlesse
thou
hadst
first
given
him
leave
.
If
when
a
temptation
comes
,
a
man
cries
out
,
and
saith
;
ah
Lord
!
here
is
a
temptation
that
would
force
me
,
that
would
deflowr
my
soul
,
and
I
have
no
strength
to
with-stand
it
;
oh
!
help
,
help
,
for
thy
honours
sake
,
for
thy
Sonnes
sake
,
for
thy
promise
sake
,
't
is
a
signe
that
Satan
hath
not
gained
your
consent
,
but
committed
a
rape
upon
your
soules
,
which
he
shall
dearly
pay
for
.
The
fourth
Proposition
is
this
.
That
no

but
spirituall
Wherefore
take
unto
you
(
saith
the
whole
armour
of
God
,
that
ye
may
be
able
to
stand
in
the
evill
day
,
and
having
done
all
,
to
stand
.
So
the
same
Apostle
tells
you
,
that
the
weapons
of
your
warfare
are
not
carnall
,
but
mighty
through
God
,
to
the
casting
downe
of
strong
bolds
;
you
have
not
to

a
weak
,
but
with
a
mighty
Thou

and

to
thee
in
the
name
of

of

God
of

Armies
of

,

thou
hast
defied

fights
against
Satan
,
in
the
strength
of
his
owne
resolutions
,
constitution
,
or
education
,
will
certainely
flie
and
fall
before
him
;
Satan
will
be
too
hard
for
such
a
soule
,
and
lead
him
captive
at
his
pleasure
.
The
onely
way
to
stand
,
conquer
,
and
triumph
,
is
still
to
plead
,
't
is
written
,
as
Christ
did
.
There
is
no
sword
,
but
the
two-edged
sword
of
the
Be
ye

as
I
am

And
l●t
us
cleanse
our selves
from
all
filthinesse
of
the
flesh
and
spirit
,
perfecting
holinesse
in
the

of
the
Lord
.
If
he
tempts●
you
to
distrust
Gods
providence
,
and
fatherly
care
of
you
,
plead
,
't
is
written
,
They
that
feare
the
Lord
shall
want
nothing
that
is
good
.
'T
is
written
,
The
Lord
will
give
grace
and
glory
,
and
no
good
thing
will
hee
with-hold
from
them
that
purlely
live
.
If
he
tempt
you
to
feare
,
that
you
shall
faint
,
and
fall
,
and
never
be
able
to
run
to
the
end
of
the
race
that
is
set
before
The
righteous
shall
hold
on
his
way
,
and
he
that
hath
clean
hands
shall
be
stronger
,
and
stronger
.
'T
is
written
,
I
will
make
an
everlasting
covevenant
with
them
,
that
I
will
not
turne
away
from
them
,
to
doe
them
good
,
but
I
wil
put
my
feare
in
their
hearts
,
that
they
shall
not
depart
from
me
.
'T
is
written
,
They
that
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
they
shall
renew
their
strength
:
they
shall
mount
up
with
wings
as
Eagles
,
they
shall
run
,
and
not

,
and
they
shall

and

If
Satan
tempt
you
to
think
,
that
because
your
sunne
for
the
present
is
set
in
a
cloud
,
that
therefore
't
will
rise
no
more
,
and
that
the
face
of
God
will
shine
no
more
upon
you
?
that
your
best
days
are
now
at
an
end
,
and
that
you
must
spend
all
your
time
in
sorrow
,
and
fighing
?
plead
,
't
is
written
,
He
will
turn
again
,
he
will
have
compassion
upon
us
,
and
cast
all
our
sins
into
the
depths
of
the
sea
.
'T
is
written
,
For
a
small
moment
have
I
forsaken
thee
,
but
with
great
mercies
will
I
gather
thee
.
In
a
little
wrath
I
hid
my
face
from
thee
for
a
moment
,
but
with
everlasting
kindnesse
will
I
have
mercy
on
thee
,
saith
the
Lord
thy
Redeemer
.
'T
is
written
,
The
mountaines

and
the
hills
be
removed
,
but
my
kindnesse
shall
not
depart
from

,
neither
shall
the
Covenant
of
my
peace
be
removed

saith
the
Lord
,
that
hath
mercie
on
thee

'T
is
written
,
Can
a
woman
forget
her
sucking
child
,
that
she
should
not
have
compassion
on
the
son
of
her
womb

yea
,
they
may

yet
will
not
I
forget
thee

Behold

I
have
graven
thee
upon
the
palmes
of
my
bands

thy
walls
are
continually
before
me

If
ever
you
would
be
too
hard
for
Satan
,
and
after
all
your
assaults
have
your
bow
abide
in
strength
,
then
take
to
you
the
word
of
God
,
which
is
the
two-edged
sword
of
the
Spirit
,
and
the
shield
of
faith
,
whereby
you
shall
be
able
to
quench
all
the
fiery
darts
of
the
Devill
.
'T
is
not
spitting
at
Satans
name
,
nor
crossing
your selves
,
nor
leaning
to
your
owne
resolutions
,
that
will
get
you
the
victory
.
Luther
reports
of
Staupicius
a
German
Minister
,
that
he
acknowledged
himself
,
that
before
he
came
to
understand
aright
the
free
and
powerfull
grace
of
God
,
that
he
vowed
,
and
resolved
an
hundred
times
against
some
particular
sinne
,
and
never
could
get
power
over
it
;
at
last
he
saw
the
reason
,
to
be
his
trusting
to
his
own
resolution
;
therefore
be
skilfull
in
the
word
of
righteousnesse
,
and
in
the
actings
of
faith
upon
Christ
,
and
his
victory
,
and
that
Crown
of
glory
that
is
set
before
you
,
and
Satan
will
certainly
flye
from
you

The
fifth
Proposition
is
this

That

sixth
and

to

some

Rules

first
is
this

If

walk

rule

hee
that

shall

As

take
heed
of

vex

&
grieving
the
holy
Spirit
of
God
;
't
is
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
that
is
best
able
to
discover
Satans
snar'e
unto
us
;
't
is
only
he
that
can
point
out
all
his
plots
,
and
discover
all
his
methods
,
and
inable
men
to
escape
those
pits
that
he
hath
digged
for
their
precious
souls
;
Ah
souls
!
if
you
set
that
sweet
and
blessed
spirit
a
mourning
,
that
alone
can
secure
you
from
Satans
depths
by
whom
will
you
be
secured
?
man
is
a
weake
creature
,
and
no
way
able
to
discover
Satans
snares
,
nor
to
avoyd
them
,
unles
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
gives
skil
&
power
;
therfore
who
ever
be
grieved
,
be
sure
the
spirit
be
not
grieved
by
your
enormities
,
nor
by
your
refusing
Greater
is
he
that
is
in
you
,
then
he
that
is
in
the
world
.
Thirdly
,
if
you
would
not
be
taken
with
any
of
Satans
devices
,
then
labour
for
more
heavenly
wisdome
:
Ah
souls
!

is
like
mettle
in
a
blind
horse
,
which
is
often
an
occasion
of
the
Riders
fall
,
and
of
his
bones
being
justled
against
the
walls
.
'T
is
not
the
most
knowing
Christian
,
but
the
most
wise
Christian
,
that
sees
,
avoids
,
and
escapes
Satans
snares
.
The
way
of
life
is
above
to
the
wise
(
saith
Solomon
)
that
he
may
depart
from
hell
beneath
.
Heavenly
wisdome
makes
a
man
delight
to
flye
high
;
and
the
higher
any
man
flies
,
the
more
he
is
out
of
the
reach
of
Satans
snares
;
Ah
soules
!
you
had
need
of
a
great
deal
4.
If
you
would
not
be
taken
with
any
of
Satans
devices
,
then
make
present
resistance
against
Satans
first
motions
;
't
is
safe
to
resist
,
't
is
dangerous
to
dispute
;
Eve
disputes
,
and
falls
in
Paradise
;
Resist
the
Devill
,
and
hee
shall
file
from
you
.
Ah
souls
!
were
you
better
at
resisting
,
then
at
disputing
(
though
happily
you
are
not
very
expert
at
either
)
your
temptations
would
be
fewer
,
and
your
strength
to
stand
would
be
greater
then
now
it
is
,
&c.
Fifthly
,
if
you
would
not
be
taken
with
any
of
Satans
Devices
,
then
labour
to
be
filled
with
the
spirit
;
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
is
a
spirit
of
light
and
power
,
and
what
can
a
soule
doe
without
light
,
&
power
against
spiritual
wickednesses
in
high
places
.
'T
is
not
enough
that
you
have
the
spirit
,
but
you
must
be
filled
with
the
spirit
,
or
else
(
Satan
)
that
evill
spirit
will
be
too
hard
for
you
,
and
his
plots
will
prosper
against
you
.
That
's
a
sweet
word
of
the
Apostle
,
be
filled
with
the
Spirit
,
i.
e.
labour
for
abundance
of
the
spirit
;
hee
that
thinks
he
hath
enough
of
the
holy
Spirit
,
will
quickly
find
himselfe
vanquished
by
the
evill
spirit
.
Satan
hath
his
snares
to
take
you
in
prosperity
&
adversity
,
in
health
&
sickness
,
in
strength
and
weakness
;
when
you
are
alone
,
and
when
you
are
in
company
;
when
you
come
on
to
spirituall
duties
,
and
when
you
come
off
from
spirituall
duties
,
and
if
you
are
not
filled
with
the
Spirit
,
Satan
will
be
too
hard
,
and
too
crafty
for
you
,
and
will
easily
,
and
frequently
take
you
in
his
snares
,
and
make
a
prey
of
you
in
spight
of
your
soules
;
therefore
labour
more
to
have
your
hearts
filled
with
the
Spirit
,
then
to
have
your
heads
filled
with
notions
,
your
shops
with
wares
,
your
chests
with
silver
,
or
your
bags
with
gold
,
so
shall
you
escape
the
snares
of
this
fowler
,
and
triumph
over
all
his
plots
,
&c.
Sixtly
,
if
you
would
not
be
taken
in
any
of
Satans
snares
,
then
keep
humble
;
tu
me
semper
vincis
)
chou
do●t
alwayes
overcome
me
;
when
I
would
exalt
,
&
promote
thee
,
thou
keepest
thy selfe
in
humility
;
and
when
I
would
throw
thee
dawne
,
thou
liftest
up
thy selfe
in
assurance
of
faith
.
An
humble
heart
will
rather
lie
in
the
dust
,
then
rise
by
wickednesse
;
and
sooner
part
with
all
,
then
the
peace
of
a
good
conscience
.
Humility
keepes
the
soul
free
from
many
darts
of
Satans
casting
,
and
snares
of
his
spreading
;
as
the
low
shrubs
are
free
from
many
violent
gusts
,
and
blasts
of
wind
,
which
shake
and
rend
the
taller
trees
.
The
Devil
hath
least
power
to
fasten
a
temptation
on
him
,
that
is
most
humble
;
hee
that
hath
a
gracious
measure
of
humility
,
is
neither
affected
with
Satans
profers
,
nor
terrified
with
his
threatnings
.
I
have
read
of
one
,
who
seeing
in
a
vision
many
snares
of
the
Devil
spread
upon
the
earth
,
he
sate
down
,
&
mourned
,
and
said
in
himself

who

wherunto

God

,
and
that
he
will

with
the

and
that
he
will

And
if
the
teachings
of
God
,
the
in-dwellings
of
God
,
if
the
pourings
in
of
God
will
not
keepe
the
soule
from
falling
into
Satans
snares
,
I
do
not

what
will
:
And
therefore

would
be
happy
in

in

I
say

,
keep
humble

If

would

We
must
not
be
like
Agrippas

,
that
would

but
effectually

these
following
Scriptures
,
wherein
this

soule
is
already
an
insnared
soul
:
That
soul
that
will
not
watch
against
temptations
,
will
certainely
fall
before
the
power
of
temptations
;
Satan
workes
most
strongly
on
the
fancie
,
when
the
soule
is
drowsie
.
The
soules
security
is
Satans
opportunity
to
fall
upon
the
soule
,
and
to
spoil
the
soule
,
as
Joshua
did
the
men
of
Ai.
The
best
way
to
be
safe
and
secure
from
all
Satans
assaults
,
is
with
Nehemiah
,
and
the
Iews
,
to
watch
and
pray
,
and
pray
,
and
watch
;
by
this
meanes
they
became
too
hard
for
their
enemies
,
and
the
work
of
the
Lord
did
prosper
sweetly
in
their
hands
.
Remember
how
Christ
chid
his
sluggish
Disciples
,
what
,
could
you
not
watch
with
me
one
houre
?
what
,
cannot
you
watch
with
mee
?
how
will
you
then
dye
with
mee
?
If
you
cannot
endure
words
,
how
will
you
endure
wounds
,
&c.
Satan
always
keeps
a
craftie
,
and
malicious
watch
,
seeking
whom
he
may
devour
(
katapie
)
or
Shall
Satan
keep
a
crafty
watch
,
and
Watchfulnesse
is
nothing
else
but
the
soul
running
up
and
downe
,
too
and
fro
,
busie
every
where
;
it
is
the
heart
busied
,
and
employed
with
diligent
observation
of
(
Quid
inde
)
what
comes
from
within
us
,
and
of
(
Quid
unde
)
what
comes
from
without
us
,
and
into
us
.
Ah
soules
!
you
are
no
longer
safe
and
secure
,
then
when
you
are
upon
your
watch
;
while
Antipater
kept
the
watch
,
Alexander
was
safe
,
and
while
we
keep
a
st●●ct
watch
,
we
are
safe
;
a
watchful
soul
is
a
soule
upon
the
wing
,
a
soule
out
of
gun-shot
,
a
soule
upon
a
rock
,
a
soule
in
a
Castle
,
a
soule
above
the
clouds
,
a
soule
held
fast
in
everlasting
armes
.
I
shall
conclude
this
7th
head
with
this
advice
:
Remember
the
Dragon
is
subtle
,
and
bites
the
Elephants
ear
,
and
then
sucks
his
blood
,
because
he
knows
that
to
be
the
onely
place
which
the
Elephant
cannot
reach
with
his
trunck
to
defend
;
so
our
enemies
are
so
subtill
,
that
they
will
bite
us
,
and
strike
us
,
where
they
may
most
mischiefe
us
,
and
therefore
it
doth
very
much
concerne
us
to
stand
alwayes
upon
our
guard
.
Eightly
,
if
you
would
not
be
taken
with
any
of
Satans
snares
,
and
devices
,
then
keep
up
your
communion
with
God
;
your
strength
to
stand
,
and
withstand

The
words
are
very
significant
in
the
original
,
there
are
two
in
s
,
as
if
God
could
never
have
neare
enough
communion
with
them
.
Satans
fiery
darts
,
is
from
your
communion
with
God
;
a
soul
high
in
communion
with
God
may
be
tempted
,
but
will
not
easily
be
conqu●red
,
such
a
soul
wil
fight
it
out
to
the
death
;
Communion
with
God
furnisheth
the
soule
with
the
greatest
,
and
the
choisest
arguments
to
withstand
Satans
temptations
;
Communion
is
the
result
of
union
;
communion
is
a
reciprocall
exchange
between
Christ
,
and
a
gracious
soule
;
Communion
is
Jacobs
ladder
,
where
you
have
Christ
sweetly
coming
down
into
the
soul
,
and
the
soul
by
divine
influences
sweetly
ascending
up
to
Christ
.
Communion
with
Christ
is
very
inflaming
,
raising
,
and
strengthning
;
while
Sampson
kept
up
his
communion
spiritual
wickednesses
in
high
places
;
but
if
you
fall
from
your
9.
If
you
would
not
be
taken
in
any
of
Satans
snares
,
then
engage
not
against
Satan
in
your
own
strength
,
but
Moses
,
Exod.

God
is
fortitudo
mea
,
and
Laus
mea
,
and
salus
mea
,
my
strength
,
and
my
praise
,
and
my
salvation
,
all
in
the
abstract
.
be
every
day
drawing
new
vertue
,
and
strength
from
the
Lord
Jesus
;
certainly
,
that
soule
that
engages
against
any
old
or
new
temptation
,
without
new
strength
,
new
influences
from
on
high
,
will
fall
before
the
power
of
the
temptation
;
you
may
see
this
in
Peter
,
hee
rested
upon
some
old
received
strength
(
Though
all
men
should
deny
thee
,
yet
will
not
I
)
and
therefore
he
falls
sadly
before
a
new
temptation
;
he
curses
,
and
seorsim
a
me
separat
,
from
me
,
or
apart
from
me
,
ye
can
doe
nothing
.
strength
to
stand
,
and
overcome
,
must
not
be
expected
from
graces
received
,
but
from
the
fresh
,
and
renewed
influences
of
Heaven
;
you
must
leane
more
upon
Christ
then
upon
your
duties
,
you
must
leane
more
upon
Christ
,
then
upon
spirituall
taft●
and
discoveries
;
you
must
leane
more
upon
Christ
,
then
upon
your
graces
,
or
else
Satan
will
lead
you
into
captivity
,
&c.
Tenthly
,
and
lastly
,
If
you
would
not
be
taken
in
any
of
Satans
snares
,
then
be
much
in
prayer
;
prayer
is
a
shelter
to
the
soule
,
a
sacrifice
to
God
,
and
a
scourge
to
the
Devill
;
Davids
heart
was
oft
more
out
of
tune
,
then
his
Harp
;
he
prays
,
and
then
,
in
spight
Carolus
Magnus
it
was
spoken
,
Carolus
plus
cum
Deo
quam
cum
hominibus
loquitur
,
that
he
spake
more
with
God
then
with
men
;
ah
!
that
I
could
say
so
of
the
Christians
in
our
dayes
.
of
the
Devill
,
cries
,
returne
unto
thy
rest
oh
my
soule
.
Prayer
is
(
Porta
coeli
,
clavis
Paradisi
)
the
gate
of
Heaven
,
a
key
to
let
us
into
Paradise
;
there
is
nothing
that
renders
plots
fruitlesse
like
prayer
,
therefore
saith
Christ
,
watch
and
pray
,
that
yee
enter
not
into
temptation
;
you
must
watch
and
pray
,
and
pray
,
and
watch
,
if
you
would
not
enter
into
temptation
.
When
Sennacherib
and
Haman
had
laid
plots
and
snares
to
have
destroyed
the
Jewes
,
they
prayed
,
and
their
souls
were
delivered
,
&
Sennacherib
and
H●man
destroyed
.
David
had
many
snares
laid
for
him
,
and
this
put●
him
upon
prayer
;
Keep
me
(
saith
hee
)
from
the
snare
which
they
have
laid
for
me
,
and
the
grins
of
the
workers
of
iniquity
.
Let
the
wicked
fall
into
their
owne
nets
,
whilst
that
I
escape
.
The
proud
saith
he
,
hath
hid
a
snare
for
me
,
and
cords
,
they
have
spread
a
net
by
the
way
side
,
they
have
set
grins
for
me
,
Selab
.
I
said
unto
the
Lord
,
thou
art
my
God
,
heare
the
voyce
of
my
supplication
oh
Lord
.
Saul
and
many
others
had
laid
snares
for
David
,
and
this
puts
him
upon
prayer
,
and
so
the
snares
are
broken
,
and
he
is
d●lived
;
ah
souls
!
take
words
to
your selves
,
and
tell
God
that
Satan
hath
spread
his
snares
in
all
places
,
and
in
all
companies
;
tell
God
that
he
digs
deep
,
and
that
he
hath
plot
upon
plot
,
and
device
upon
device
,
and
all
to
The
next
Use
is
a
use
of
thankfulness
,
Blesse
the
Lord
oh
our
soules
,
and
all
that
is
within
us
,
blesse
his
holy
name
;
Blesse
the
Lord
oh
our
soules
,
and
forget
not
all
his
benefits
;
who
hath
not
given
us
to
be
a
prey
to
Satan
,
and
to
be
ensnared
by
those
snares
that
he
hath
laid
for
our
souls
;
the
sense
of
this
great
favour
did
work
up
Davids
heart
to
praises
;
Blessed
be
the
Lord
(
saith
who
hath
not
given
us
as
a
prey
to
their
teeth
,
our
soule
is
escaped
as
a
bird
out
of
the
snares
of
the
Fowlers
,
the
snare
is
broken
,
and
we
are
escaped

Ah
Christians
!
Remember
,
that
the
greatest
part
of
the
world
,
yea
,
the
greatest
part
of
Professors
are
taken
in
Satans
snares
;
can
you
think
seriously
of
this
,
and
not
ingratum
dixeris
omnia
dixeris
,
say
a
man
is
unthankfull
,
and
say
he
is
any
thing
.
blush
to
be
unthankful
;
what
are
you
better
then
others
?
and
what
have
you
deserved
of
God
,
or
done
for
God
more
then
other●
?
that
you
should
by
the
help
of
a
Divine
hand
escape
the
snares
,
when
others
are
taken
,
and
held
in
the
snares
of
the
Devill

to
their

you
be
thankfull

the

the
snares
that

and
will
you
not
be

more
