would e ,pr
eile
my
ielfe in this
f
militude,rhat
you may
more
fully undieriiand what
ï
mean,
:
Many
who
have weak
to
maces,
and
their
nature
almoft
fpent,
they
would
faine have
fame
f
i
its.to
refresh
them,
and they are
altogether
for
hot
waters, they
find
themfelves cold,
and want
flrength,
and
they
thinke
to
take
fuch
Cordialls,
and
to
take
hot waters, becaufe
they have more fpirits
and
beate
in
them,and
are more futable
to
their condition
;,
whereas the
truth
is
,.
hot waters
doe but
burne them
up,
and fpoyle
them,aid
makes
them
Rill
weaker
and weaker, and doth but confume
that
natural heate
that
they
have
;
whereas
a
wife Phyfician
when he comes
and
asks
them
what
fuch
a
one
tooke,
why
every
day
he drunke
fuch
hot wa-
ters;
why,
faith.he,
he bath
fpoyl'd himfelfe,
he
should rather
have
purg'd
(At
the
ill
humoursin the
body; then
take broath
and other
things,"
and though they be
not
fo
hot,yet
by
degrees
they
will ftrengthen
nature,
and
then
begin
to
nourish
,
and
fo
there
will
be good
blood,
and from good blood
there
will
be
good fpirits raifed,
and
they.are the
bell
fpirits
;
when one
drinks
hot waters,they
may
be
in
,a
flame and
beate
for
a
while,
but
that will not
hold,but
if
one can come
to
have
heate
from
good
blood
,
that
will
hold;
and
fo
the
man lives and comes to
be
firong
:
Thus
it
is
for
all
the world
in
Chriftians
;
there
are
fame that
are very fencible
of
their
fin, and they would
have
all
Comfort,
they would
have that
which
is
altogether
fpirits
preached to them, nothing
elfe
but
the
very
Name,
ofChrift,
and
Free Grace
to them
;
wells
it
may
be that
may
heate
thee
a
little
while,
but the truth
is,
this heate vanitheth
and
comes
to nothing,
whereas
the
other,
if
he
b'e
a
wife Phyfician for
the
foule, he
will
apply
that word
that
may
purge out the
e-
vili from
their hearts;
that
word
that
carries the life
of
fancai-
1
ration, and
walking with
God
in
the
wayes
of
holineffe,
that
thould
