they_o will_v do_v we_o no_o good_a 3._o we_o must_v be_v further_a careful_a to_o hide_v they_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o commit_v they_o to_o memory_n that_o we_o may_v be_v often_o think_v of_o

22._o 6_o in_o short_a we_o must_v look_v to_o it_o that_o we_o be_v not_o slothful_a and_o idle_a and_o such_o as_o will_v not_o be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o study_v and_o commit_v to_o memory_n and_o rest_n upon_o these_o glorious_a comfort_n but_o we_o must_v follow_v they_o which_o through_o faith_n 12._o and_o patience_n do_v inherit_v the_o promise_n thus_o of_o the_o preface_n chap._n ii_o the_o division_n of_o the_o promise_n the_o promise_n may_v be_v divide_v promise_n into_o three_o part_n the_o first_o may_v contain_v such_o privilege_n place_n of_o scripture_n as_o show_v the_o

more_o at_o large_a to_o entreat_v of_o i_o shall_v show_v what_o variety_n of_o comfort_n they_o be_v with_o which_o a_o godly_a man_n may_v inflame_v his_o hart_n according_a to_o the_o several_a distress_n may_v fall_v upon_o he_o and_o these_o may_v be_v thus_o subdivide_v all_o affliction_n be_v either_o outward_a or_o inward_a for_o outward_a affliction_n affliction_n it_o be_v too_o tedious_a and_o to_o little_a purpose_n to_o gather_v comfort_n against_o every_o particular_a cross_n and_o therefore_o one_o head_n may_v suffice_v for_o the_o general_a viz._n the_o promise_n or_o consolation_n against_o all_o outward_a affliction_n now_o because_o godly_a people_n be_v oftentimes_o more_o trouble_v with_o the_o storm_n and_o reproach_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v cast_v upon_o they_o for_o well-doing_n then_o with_o the_o ordinary_a affliction_n of_o life_n therefore_o i_o will_v in_o the_o second_o place_n gather_v the_o comfort_n against_o reproach_n and_o withal_o i_o will_v add_v in_o the_o three_o place_n consolation_n against_o adversary_n now_o for_o inward_a affliction_n they_o be_v the_o affliction_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o arise_v either_o from_o the_o temptation_n of_o satan_n or_o from_o the_o trouble_n
