the_o wicked_a shall_v abound_v in_o pleasure_n this_o be_v it_o that_o so_o trouble_a david_n at_o this_o time_n and_o before_o he_o wonder_v at_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n be_v much_o cast_v down_o to_o see_v what_o a_o load_n of_o affliction_n lay_v upon_o the_o godly_a but_o now_o he_o recover_v himself_o with_o the_o comfort_n of_o this_o that_o howsoever_o god_n people_n suffer_v much_o for_o a_o time_n it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o time_n yea_o a_o short_a they_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v peace_n at_o last_o and_o now_o he_o have_v learn_v this_o lesson_n and_o can_v teach_v it_o other_o that_o look_v how_o many_o will_v true_o fear_v the_o lord_n that_o careful_o will_v endeavour_v to_o walk_v in_o god_n commandment_n to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o day_n they_o shall_v have_v cross_n and_o trouble_n 14.22_o act._n 14.22_o so_o true_a be_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n that_o all_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n

joseph_n innocent_a joseph_n in_o the_o prison_n as_o a_o malefactor_n in_o a_o high_a degree_n jeremy_n in_o the_o stock_n daniel_n in_o the_o den_n the_o people_n of_o israel_n even_o the_o israel_n of_o god_n in_o miserable_a bondage_n under_o the_o egyptitian_n so_o that_o i_o conclude_v that_o look_v how_o many_o of_o we_o as_o intend_v to_o be_v righteous_a we_o must_v look_v for_o affliction_n and_o trouble_n yea_o and_o prepare_v our_o heart_n thereunto_o &_o not_o to_o be_v dismay_v at_o they_o when_o they_o fall_v upon_o we_o have_v though_o some_o strange_a thing_n have_v

glory_n shall_v appear_v you_o may_v be_v glad_a and_o reiocye_a i_o shall_v not_o need_v i_o hope_v in_o so_o evident_a a_o truth_n to_o search_v up_o more_o scripture_n to_o prove_v it_o the_o reason_n that_o follow_v will_v clear_v the_o same_o unto_o us._n reas_n 1_o first_o because_o the_o godly_a have_v in_o they_o many_o sin_n for_o sin_n be_v the_o general_a and_o universal_a cause_n of_o all_o trouble_n for_o so_o testify_v the_o prophet_n say_v 39.3_o lam._n 39.3_o man_n suffer_v for_o his_o sin_n let_v we_o search_v &_o try_v our_o way_n and_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n so_o then_o in_o as_o much_o as_o all_o have_v sin_v all_o be_v liable_a to_o chastisement_n &_o affliction_n the_o just_a punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o if_o we_o break_v his_o satute_n and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n no_o marvel_n though_o the_o lord_n do_v visit_v our_o iniquity_n with_o his_o rod_n and_o our_o sin_n with_o scourge_n second_o because_o the_o godly_a reas_n 2_o have_v many_o grace_n

for_o as_o god_n do_v bestow_v upon_o his_o servant_n more_o gift_n &_o grace_n then_o upon_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o so_o will_v the_o lord_n have_v the_o same_o to_o appear_v in_o his_o servant_n to_o the_o praise_n of_o his_o grace_n they_o must_v be_v beat_v like_o spice_n in_o a_o mot_a that_o they_o may_v savour_n the_o better_a and_o ever_o according_a to_o our_o strength_n the_o lord_n do_v ever_o proportion_v our_o trial_n 6.1_o on_o hos_fw-la 6.1_o but_o i_o have_v handle_v this_o elsewhere_o use_v 1_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o be_v for_o excellent_a use_n unto_o the_o godly_a to_o comfort_v they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o their_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n here_o that_o they_o do_v not_o thereby_o judge_v of_o god_n favour_n or_o displeasure_n for_o as_o solomon_n teach_v all_o thing_n happen_v alike_o to_o all_o it_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o godly_a as_o well_o as_o the_o wicked_a yea_o it_o be_v more_o incident_a to_o the_o professor_n and_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n then_o to_o other_o such_o must_v not_o think_v the_o worse_a of_o themselves_o but_o the_o better_a only_o they_o be_v to_o labour_v to_o make_v their_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a that_o have_v assurance_n of_o god_n favour_n in_o jesus_n christ_n they_o may_v thereby_o have_v their_o affliction_n sanctify_v unto_o they_o second_o this_o may_v serve_v to_o use_v 2_o comfort_n the_o fainthearted_a that_o be_v toss_v with_o the_o wave_n of_o many_o trouble_v here_o if_o search_v their_o heart_n they_o can_v find_v their_o uprightness_n and_o try_v their_o own_o way_n they_o prove_v to_o be_v righteous_a there_o be_v not_o that_o cause_n of_o sorrow_n or_o discontent_n to_o that_o man_n to_o think_v his_o state_n either_o desperate_a

his_o servant_n whensoever_o the_o lord_n chastise_v he_o he_o see_v there_o be_v great_a necessity_n of_o the_o rod_n yet_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o judgement_n the_o lord_n remember_v mercy_n &_o
