the_o cause_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o the_o church_n certain_a cause_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v within_o we_o and_o certain_a without_o us._n within_o we_o be_v three_o cause_n of_o the_o cross_n whereof_o the_o first_o be_v sin_n inhabit_v in_o we_o that_o be_v too_o say_v original_a sin_n if_o this_o sin_n be_v not_o bridle_v it_o will_v bring_v forth_o damnable_a fruit_n the_o second_o be_v

with_o the_o world_n in_o our_o sin_n beside_o these_o there_o be_v also_o cause_n of_o the_o cross_n without_o we_o but_o of_o a_o other_o nature_n for_o god_n of_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n visit_v we_o with_o his_o rod._n for_o whosoever_o he_o receyve_v he_o he_o chastise_v with_o none_o other_o affection_n than_o the_o good_a father_n again_o the_o devil_n lie_v in_o wait_n for_o the_o church_n as_o we_o see_v in_o job_n but_o god_n appoint_v he_o bound_n beyond_o which_o he_o be_v not_o able_a too_o range_v moreover_o the_o limb_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o be_v too_o say_v

of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o cross_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o ungodly_a what_o be_v the_o difference_n then_o between_o the_o cross_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o ungodly_a since_o we_o see_v as_o well_o the_o godly_a as_o ungodly_a strike_v with_o gréevous_a misery_n in_o this_o world_n sure_o there_o be_v many_o difference_n the_o first_o difference_n be_v take_v of_o the_o efficient_a cause_n for_o as_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o godly_a procee_v of_o the_o fatherly_a love_n of_o the_o heavenly_a father_n towards_o his_o child_n so_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o wicked_a proceed_v of_o the_o wrath_n and_o sore_a displeasure_n of_o the_o just_a judge_n god_n who_o punish_v the_o wicked_a as_o his_o enemy_n and_o
