complain_v for_o say_v that_o god_n have_v strike_v we_o with_o sickness_n yes_o but_o he_o may_v just_o have_v strike_v we_o with_o death_n or_o he_o have_v lay_v loss_n and_o want_n upon_o we_o

have_v suffer_v man_n to_o oppress_v we_o and_o hale_v we_o into_o prison_n yes_o but_o he_o may_v have_v give_v way_n to_o the_o devil_n to_o set_v upon_o we_o and_o hurry_v we_o into_o hell_n and_o final_o whatsoever_o we_o suffer_v yet_o it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n less_o than_o we_o have_v deserve_v and_o then_o god_n may_v have_v lay_v upon_o we_o if_o he_o have_v reward_v we_o according_a to_o our_o sin_n and_o hence_o we_o may_v have_v a_o good_a meditation_n for_o our_o comfort_n for_o in_o what_o distress_n soever_o we_o be_v yet_o we_o may_v be_v glad_a that_o they_o be_v no_o

thought_n that_o we_o take_v for_o these_o thing_n this_o meditation_n may_v either_o serve_v to_o shame_v we_o for_o our_o worldly_a mindednes_n and_o that_o we_o have_v so_o much_o care_n about_o these_o transitory_a thing_n or_o it_o may_v serve_v to_o work_v in_o we_o a_o great_a care_n for_o our_o soul_n and_o if_o that_o once_o be_v increase_v our_o care_n for_o the_o world_n will_v in_o

our_o mind_n from_o muse_v on_o our_o worldly_a grief_n and_o may_v mitigate_v those_o care_n that_o do_v too_o much_o possess_v our_o heart_n and_o thus_o much_o may_v serve_v for_o this_o three_o

unload_v our_o care_n into_o god_n bosom_n by_o supplication_n and_o prayer_n and_o if_o thus_o we_o find_v not_o present_a ease_n yet_o we_o must_v still_o wait_v for_o many_o have_v miss_v of_o help_n because_o they_o have_v make_v too_o much_o haste_n of_o abraham_n we_o hear_v before_o that_o he_o take_v his_o son_n and_o the_o knife_n and_o the_o wood_n and_o the_o fire_n and_o go_v his_o three_o day_n journey_n that_o he_o may_v sacrifice_v his_o son_n where_o god_n have_v appoint_v and_o after_o he_o have_v go_v all_o the_o way_n and_o stay_v all_o the_o time_n and_o be_v now_o at_o the_o last_o cast_v of_o kill_v his_o son_n then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o he_o find_v god_n help_n in_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mount_n but_o now_o suppose_v that_o abraham_n either_o weary_v with_o the_o journey_n or_o overcome_v with_o grief_n or_o despair_v of_o future_a help_n have_v turn_v back_o again_o after_o a_o day_n journey_n or_o two_o or_o say_v he_o have_v sit_v himself_o down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o hill_n and_o with_o impatient_a cry_n have_v bemoan_v his_o uncomfortable_a condition_n what_o may_v we_o think_v will_v the_o issue_n have_v be_v sure_o it_o may_v well_o be_v suppose_v that_o by_o detain_v his_o son_n he_o may_v have_v lose_v he_o but_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o by_o stay_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o hill_n he_o have_v not_o find_v god_n in_o the_o

may_v not_o affect_v we_o with_o immoderate_a care_n when_o they_o come_v and_o that_o be_v that_o we_o settle_v ourselves_o aforehand_o so_o to_o deal_v in_o all_o our_o occasion_n as_o the_o wise_a
