be_v for_o a_o long_a time_n a_o happy_a people_n our_o deliverance_n from_o strange_a child_n have_v be_v great_a and_o miraculous_a and_o our_o land_n it_o have_v be_v a_o goshen_n a_o light-some_a land_n whereas_o the_o darkness_n of_o discomfort_n have_v rest_v upon_o other_o nation_n the_o blessing_n of_o the_o city_n and_o field_n of_o the_o basket_n and_o of_o the_o store_n have_v grow_v upon_o we_o in_o such_o abundance_n that_o many_o man_n have_v surfeit_v of_o plenty_n our_o land_n have_v be_v as_o a_o eden_n and_o garden_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o fruitfulness_n as_o a_o salem_n for_o peace_n whereas_o other_o kingdom_n do_v yet_o groan_v under_o the_o pressure_n of_o sword_n and_o famine_n beside_o these_o if_o there_o be_v any_o blessing_n which_o the_o scripture_n mention_n in_o other_o place_n peace_n in_o the_o wall_n plenty_n in_o the_o palace_n traffic_n in_o the_o port_n or_o salvation_n in_o the_o gate_n if_o any_o part_n of_o happiness_n which_o it_o speak_v of_o in_o this_o psalm_n for_o planting_n or_o building_n or_o reaping_n or_o storing_n or_o peopling_n we_o have_v have_v they_o all_o in_o as_o much_o fullness_n as_o any_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o more_o than_o most_o only_o there_o be_v one_o particular_a may_v be_v question_v or_o rather_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o amid_o the_o very_a throng_n of_o all_o these_o blessing_n there_o be_v some_o murmur_n and_o complain_n in_o our_o street_n but_o it_o need_v not_o seem_v strange_a to_o we_o because_o it_o be_v not_o new_a in_o the_o world_n in_o the_o story_n of_o all_o age_n we_o meet_v with_o it_o that_o man_n use_v to_o complain_v of_o their_o time_n to_o be_v evil_a when_o indeed_o themselves_o make_v they_o so_o i_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v there_o be_v cause_n in_o respect_n of_o sin_n then_o as_o well_o as_o now_o especial_o with_o godly_a man_n who_o be_v so_o good_a themselves_o that_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o they_o think_v time_n a_o little_a evil_a to_o be_v extreme_o bad_a as_o always_o sin_n swell_v to_o the_o eye_n of_o grace_n but_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o outward_a pressure_n and_o calamity_n i_o be_o certain_a there_o be_v not_o cause_v now_o as_o then_o for_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v never_o so_o great_a the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n never_o so_o constant_a the_o state_n of_o it_o for_o all_o

such_o spirit_n will_v cry_v out_o the_o time_n be_v bad_a even_o when_o they_o be_v best_a because_o they_o in_o their_o own_o bad_a sense_n still_o desire_v to_o be_v better_o as_o nothing_o be_v
