What
good
*ill
cone by
putting
our
felves
for
that Ile
give
you
this Scripture,
in<the
t3
of
the
Heb:
Remember
tb.em
that
are
in
bonds, a¢
bound
with
them,
and
them,
thatfuffer
adverfity,
as
being
your
fe.'vec alto
in
the
body
.Remem-
ber
them
that
are
in
bonds, as
bond
with
them:
Here theApo-
file writes
to
thofe
that were
at
liberty,
and
yet
he
requires
of
them
:o
Remember thofe
that
were.
;
n
bonds,
as
if
they
were
bound,
with
them
:
So
that
thofe
that
are
in
Prifon
now
by
the enemy,,
why
confider
as
if
you
were
in
prifon with
them,thofe that
have
iofi all,
as
if
you
had
lot}
all
wi
h
them,
fo
that
y6u muff
re
member
theua,o_herwife
it
is
avery
flight kind
ofatfectionthat
you.
End
your hearts
toucht
withall,
it
fo
be that
you
can
but
only fay,
O
how
cruelly are they ufed, the.
Lord pity them,
and
have
mercy upomthem
:
I
but
lay
this
toheart,
what
if
I
werez
to,
what
if it were
really
my
conditìon?
But You will
fay,
Suppofe
we
fhould
put
that
_to
ourfelves,,
what
good
uje would there
come
of this
?
To
that I
anfwer, many wayes,
if
you would
but put
your
(elves into
their
condition , and confider what .if I were
foy
then
confider from hence what duties
you
would be further
put
upon
is
this.
As
firli,
If
I were in
their condition
certainely
I
could
not
but then
be
fenfïble
of
the
vanity
ofkthe
creature
:
what
a
vaine
thing
it
is
to
ref}
upon
any
outward comforts in"thisworld,there
was
a
time it
may
be,
that not
long ague
they
enjoyed
as
much
of
the outward comforts
of
this world'ás
I
doe,but
in one
night
.they
are
f}ript
of
all, and
have'nothing
in
their
houles,
and
ate
under
wofull
affli&ions
;
why
certanely they
cannot but
think
thus with themfelves
:
O
the creature
is
a
vaine
thing
:
It's
a
vaine
thing
to
truf}
in
any
creature comfort,
it
may
foon
be
taken
away
from
me,
beyond
all
expeC`iation
of
mine
:
ô
t
could
not
if
I
were
in
their
condition but judge of the
vanity,
of
the creature.
Let
me do
fo
now
then.
And
then
fecondly,
If
I
were
in
their
condition,
why
my"
conCcience
would be freely
tellingofine
and charging
ofme
for
the
abufe
of
the mercy that
I
have had.:
Suppofe
that
all
my
comforts were taken
away
from
me,
as
from them
:
do
not
I
think my
conCcience
would
prefently
fly
in
my façe, and tell.
