the_o first_o ground_n be_v that_o all_o affliction_n from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a do_v come_v to_o pass_v not_o by_o accident_n chance_n or_o fortune_n but_o by_o the_o special_a providence_n of_o god_n i_o explain_v it_o thus_o in_o every_o particular_a cross_n and_o affliction_n there_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n particular_a providence_n and_o that_o in_o three_o regard_n first_o because_o god_n decree_v and_o foreappoint_v every_o particular_a cross_n mark_v the_o word_n of_o paul_n who_o god_n have_v foreknow_v they_o he_o 28._o have_v predestinate_a to_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o the_o image_n of_o his_o son_n and_o what_o be_v this_o image_n nothing_o else_o but_o a_o conformity_n unto_o christ_n in_o affliction_n for_o this_o life_n and_o in_o glory_n for_o the_o life_n to_o come_v now_o if_o god_n have_v decree_v that_o those_o who_o he_o foreknewe_v shall_v be_v conformable_a unto_o his_o son_n in_o these_o respect_n then_o have_v he_o also_o decree_v the_o affliction_n themselves_o second_o god_n do_v not_o only_o bare_o permit_v affliction_n to_o be_v but_o also_o he_o effect_v they_o and_o bring_v they_o into_o execution_n as_o they_o be_v cross_n correction_n trial_n and_o punishment_n i_o make_v peace_n say_v the_o lord_n and_o i_o create_v evil_a 7._o that_o be_v not_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n but_o of_o punishment_n which_o be_v evil_a in_o our_o sense_n and_o feeling_n for_o thing_n be_v term_v evil_a two_o way_n some_o be_v evil_a indeed_o some_o be_v evil_a not_o indeed_o but_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o sense_n apprehension_n and_o estimation_n and_o of_o this_o latter_a sort_n be_v affliction_n which_o god_n be_v say_v to_o create_v and_o to_o this_o purpose_n be_v the_o say_n of_o the_o prophet_n amos_n shall_v there_o be_v evil_a in_o the_o 6._o city_n and_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o do_v it_o three_o as_o god_n cause_v affliction_n so_o he_o order_v and_o dispose_v they_o that_o be_v he_o limit_v &_o appoint_v the_o beginning_n the_o end_n the_o measure_n or_o quantity_n and_o the_o continuance_n thereof_o yea_o he_o also_o order_v they_o to_o their_o right_a end_n namely_o his_o own_o glory_n the_o good_a of_o his_o servant_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o church_n thus_o god_n be_v say_v to_o correct_v his_o people_n in_o judgement_n that_o 11._o be_v so_o as_o he_o will_v have_v the_o whole_a order_n of_o the_o correction_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n joseph_n tell_v his_o brethren_n that_o when_o they_o intend_v evil_a against_o he_o in_o sell_v he_o to_o the_o ishmaelite_n for_o

bid_v he_o to_o curse_v and_o who_o then_o dare_v say_v unto_o 10._o he_o why_o have_v thou_o do_v so_o and_o to_o this_o purpose_n the_o prophet_n david_n say_v i_o hold_v my_o peace_n and_o say_v nothing_o why_o because_o thou_o lord_n have_v do_v it_o psal._n 39_o 9_o here_o some_o will_v say_v if_o affliction_n do_v come_v only_o from_o god_n it_o be_v somewhat_o but_o oftentimes_o they_o
