1 The First […] distemper of Passion in those that have some trouble of conscience in them, they are troubled for their sin, and their spirits […] in a discontented froward humour because they have not that comfort that they do desire, and therefore the Word of God when it comes to be preached to them, if it doth not every way sure with their hearts, and if they do not find present comfort by it, their spirits are in a distemper and ⟨p. 180⟩frowardness, and cast it off; and if at any time there be never such comfortable things spoken in the word, yet there is an anger in their spirits because they are not able to apply the word to themselves, and they think, This doth not concern me: Now there should be meekness of spirit in those that are in trouble of conscience above all; they should quietly attend upon the word, and wait for the time that God will speak peace to their consciences: And if I cannot find the Word suitable to me at this time, yet I may at another time: let me attend with meekness, let me receive every thing with meekness; the Word is above me, and if ever I have good, it must be by the Word at last.
