that_o god_n often_o plentiful_o bestow_v upon_o wicked_a man_n the_o good_a thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v most_o unworthy_a and_o avert_v the_o evil_n which_o they_o have_v most_o just_o deserve_v though_o out_o of_o his_o omnisciency_n he_o most_o certain_o foresee_v their_o obstinacy_n to_o be_v such_o that_o they_o will_v not_o by_o these_o riches_n of_o his_o goodness_n be_v lead_v to_o repentance_n hereupon_o some_o of_o the_o heathen_a deny_v god_n providence_n and_o sometime_o holy_a man_n envy_v the_o wicked_a but_o we_o may_v easy_o resist_v these_o temptation_n the_o former_a of_o the_o heathen_a if_o we_o think_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o look_v at_o neither_o antecedent_n merit_n nor_o subsequent_a recompense_n in_o the_o bestow_n of_o good_a or_o avert_v of_o evil_a and_o out_o of_o which_o he_o will_v do_v good_a even_o to_o bad_a man_n that_o he_o may_v satisfy_v his_o love_n to_o his_o creature_n though_o he_o certain_o foresee_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o contumacy_n he_o shall_v not_o obtain_v his_o prime_a end_n of_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n which_o he_o serious_o intend_v and_o for_o which_o he_o use_v sufficient_a mean_n the_o other_o temptation_n of_o the_o saint_n we_o may_v also_o resist_v 1_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o same_o grace_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o may_v do_v with_o his_o own_o what_o he_o will_v for_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o he_o so_o to_o do_v be_v our_o eye_n evil_a because_o he_o be_v good_a 2_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o long_o he_o so_o deal_v with_o the_o wicked_a of_o his_o grace_n not_o for_o ever_o but_o only_o so_o long_o as_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o expect_v their_o conversion_n but_o if_o they_o will_v not_o be_v convert_v but_o turn_v his_o grace_n into_o wantonness_n the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n to_o which_o they_o do_v such_o despite_n will_v not_o always_o strive_v with_o they_o but_o there_o will_v be_v a_o time_n when_o strip_v they_o of_o all_o good_a god_n will_v cast_v they_o into_o eternal_a misery_n so_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v manifest_a to_o all_o that_o they_o be_v nothing_o less_o than_o the_o object_n of_o envy_n 2_o see_v here_o a_o just_a and_o effectual_a cause_n of_o patience_n when_o either_o good_a thing_n be_v want_v or_o evil_n lie_v upon_o we_o if_o we_o can_v deserve_v or_o god_n do_v any_o way_n owe_v we_o the_o bestow_n of_o those_o good_a thing_n or_o the_o avert_n of_o those_o evil_n it_o be_v another_o matter_n but_o see_v he_o be_v gracious_a dispense_n all_o his_o benefit_n free_o why_o do_v we_o yet_o complain_v as_o if_o he_o deal_v injurious_o with_o we_o yea_o rather_o let_v we_o set_v in_o order_n before_o ourselves_o our_o many_o and_o great_a sin_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n our_o abuse_n of_o god_n benefit_n and_o then_o i_o dare_v bold_o say_v we_o be_v very_o blind_a if_o we_o do_v not_o see_v most_o just_a cause_n of_o acknowledge_v the_o great_a grace_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o that_o any_o good_a at_o all_o even_o our_o life_n and_o breath_n be_v still_o continue_a to_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o at_o this_o very_a hour_n in_o hell_n and_o further_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o god_n withhold_v temporal_a good_a thing_n or_o his_o send_v temporal_a evil_n do_v not_o always_o proceed_v from_o a_o intention_n of_o revenge_n neither_o be_v as_o it_o be_v forerunner_n of_o condemnation_n but_o that_o he_o often_o even_o of_o the_o same_o grace_n fatherly_a chastise_n we_o for_o our_o good_a yea_o many_o time_n only_o prove_v we_o that_o his_o grace_n
