of_o god_n as_o soon_o or_o late_a they_o shall_v sure_o fall_v and_o god_n do_v begin_v to_o nip_v they_o and_o bruise_v and_o crush_v they_o in_o his_o hand_n with_o sickness_n of_o body_n or_o

that_o be_v to_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d selfe-sufficient_a and_o what_o that_o mean_v you_o shall_v hear_v by_o and_o by_o 1._o singularitas_fw-la personae_fw-la i_o have_v learn_v some_o may_v happy_o conceit_v that_o s._n paul_n speak_v but_o this_o of_o his_o own_o particular_a that_o he_o for_o his_o part_n have_v learned_a to_o be_v content_a not_o that_o it_o be_v the_o common_a condition_n of_o every_o private_a christian_n to_o be_v thus_o qualify_v thus_o content_v answ_n it_o be_v true_a as_o s._n paul_n be_v a_o apostle_n and_o you_o know_v he_o be_v a_o great_a apostle_n apostolus_fw-la per_fw-la antonomasian_n call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o all_o our_o quotation_n of_o he_o i_o say_v as_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n he_o have_v his_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d his_o peculiar_a gift_n and_o grace_n proper_a to_o himself_o not_o attaineable_a nor_o imitable_a by_o we_o but_o that_o he_o speak_v here_o he_o speak_v it_o as_o a_o christian_a as_o a_o convert_n as_o a_o content_a man_n and_o that_o a_o grace_n that_o be_v common_a to_o every_o true_a believer_n the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o a_o common_a faith_n tit._n 1._o 4._o because_o it_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o so_o likewise_o of_o a_o common_a salvation_n jude_n 3._o because_o it_o be_v common_a to_o all_o that_o shall_v be_v save_v which_o yet_o every_o christian_a must_v labour_v to_o make_v proper_a to_o himself_o so_o may_v this_o be_v call_v a_o commmon_a contentment_n because_o it_o be_v such_o as_o every_o common_a christian_a must_v apply_v to_o himself_o and_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o learn_v and_o practice_v for_o his_o own_o particular_a for_o the_o comfort_n and_o discharge_v of_o his_o own_o soul_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n it_o be_v worth_a your_o observation_n that_o of_o david_n psal_n 40._o 6._o where_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o in_o the_o volume_n of_o thy_o book_n it_o be_v write_v of_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v do_v thy_o will_n o_o my_o god_n i_o be_o content_a to_o do_v it_o now_o let_v a_o man_n read_v over_o the_o whole_a volume_n of_o god_n book_n he_o shall_v not_o find_v that_o it_o be_v write_v of_o david_n that_o he_o by_o name_n shall_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n more_o than_o another_o man_n why_o then_o do_v david_n affirm_v this_o of_o himself_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o think_v the_o reason_n may_v be_v david_n find_v in_o the_o volume_n of_o god_n book_n that_o it_o be_v thus_o write_v of_o man_n of_o his_o rank_n and_o quality_n of_o king_n prophet_n etc._n etc._n that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o special_a care_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v exemplary_a in_o their_o life_n to_o other_o and_o this_o do_v david_n appropriate_a

this_o book_n that_o it_o be_v thus_o write_v of_o s._n paul_n that_o he_o have_v learned_a to_o be_v content_a you_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v your_o case_n as_o well_o as_o he_o and_o that_o you_o for_o your_o part_n have_v as_o good_a cause_n and_o as_o great_a reason_n as_o ever_o david_n have_v to_o apply_v this_o write_n to_o your_o self_n and_o say_v for_o your_o own_o particular_a it_o be_v write_v of_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v content_a o_o my_o god_n i_o be_o content_a to_o be_v so_o it_o be_v good_a counsel_n that_o eliphaz_n give_v to_o job_n 5._o 27._o hear_v this_o
