averseness_n of_o the_o nature_n become_v impatience_n in_o the_o will_n and_o desire_n in_o the_o appetite_n become_v turbulent_a passion_n in_o the_o high_a power_n of_o the_o soul_n 2._o if_o impatience_n of_o trouble_n and_o eager_a desire_n of_o rest_n from_o adversity_n be_v a_o distemper_n then_o much_o worse_a be_v it_o when_o unlawful_a and_o indirect_a mean_n and_o course_n be_v add_v thereunto_o david_n indeed_o be_v eager_a over_o eager_a of_o deliverance_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o use_v unlawful_a way_n to_o decline_v the_o rage_n of_o saul_n and_o to_o save_v his_o life_n but_o he_o consult_v with_o god_n and_o pray_v unto_o he_o and_o so_o stand_v upon_o his_o own_o defence_n the_o wing_n of_o a_o dove_n be_v swift_a indeed_o but_o they_o be_v

be_v that_o you_o will_v diligent_o endeavour_v to_o beware_v of_o the_o like_a the_o infirmity_n of_o saint_n be_v not_o record_v for_o our_o imitation_n no_o nor_o to_o afford_v we_o a_o way_n of_o

concern_v any_o trial_n as_o if_o some_o strange_a thing_n or_o some_o unequal_a thing_n befall_v you_o labour_v to_o be_v mortify_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v to_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o bodily_a

well_o be_v the_o first_o motive_n to_o the_o duty_n which_o i_o exhort_v you_o to_o 2._o consider_v that_o if_o you_o be_v thus_o weary_a of_o affliction_n and_o eager_a after_o rest_n you_o do_v secret_o find_v fault_n with_o a_o chief_a piece_n of_o god_n dispensation_n in_o the_o world_n and_o frustrate_v the_o end_n which_o god_n have_v in_o bring_v tribulation_n upon_o the_o righteous_a the_o exercise_n of_o grace_n such_o as_o patience_n self-denial_n faithfulness_n courage_n constancy_n be_v the_o great_a end_n of_o god_n in_o all_o his_o afflictive_a providence_n upon_o his_o

a_o unpleasant_a and_o bitter_a time_n be_v much_o more_o magnanimous_a than_o to_o wish_v to_o die_v and_o to_o endure_v the_o anguish_n of_o life_n with_o a_o humble_a patience_n and_o submissive_a
