Preached and written by the reverend & godly learned M. Iohn More, late preacher in the citie of Norwitch. And now first published by M. Nicholas Bovvnd: whereunto he hath adioyned of his owne, A sermon of comfort for the afflicted: and, A short treatise of a contented mind.

their_o estate_n be_v so_o good_a as_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o have_v so_o many_o cause_n to_o be_v content_v therewith_o for_o beside_o that_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o cruel_a bondage_n of_o egypt_n they_o have_v many_o singular_a testimony_n of_o god_n favour_n both_o for_o this_o life_n and_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n david_n psal_n 78._o 12._o do_v

consider_v the_o manifold_a public_a benefit_n in_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n this_o long_a peace_n under_o so_o gracious_a a_o government_n with_o so_o great_a

such_o as_o appertain_v unto_o we_o we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n why_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v be_v content_v with_o our_o estate_n and_o that_o our_o sin_n in_o murmur_v at_o any_o time_n shall_v be_v very_o great_a but_o yet_o we_o must_v come_v unto_o that_o whereof_o the_o apostle_n speak_v phil._n 4._o 11._o i_o have_v learn_v in_o what_o

&_o convenient_a for_o they_o as_o it_o be_v for_o they_o speak_v of_o it_o very_o contemptuous_o say_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o this_o man_n when_o as_o it_o be_v not_o only_o able_a to_o

take_v least_o at_o any_o time_n we_o do_v deny_v or_o lesson_n the_o benefit_n of_o god_n but_o labour_v to_o see_v they_o all_o and_o acknowledge_v they_o to_o be_v so_o great_a as_o they_o be_v ●hat_n so_o in_o respect_n of_o they_o we_o may_v confess_v our_o estate_n to_o be_v so_o good_a as_o it_o be_v and_o therewithal_o to_o be_v content_v and_o even_o then_o when_o we_o begin_v to_o

place_n to_o the_o devil_n &_o their_o own_o corruption_n in_o this_o from_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o prefer_v any_o other_o food_n which_o they_o have_v not_o before_o that_o

will_v offer_v they_o many_o other_o thing_n &_o persuade_v they_o to_o like_v of_o any_o rather_o then_o of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v mark_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o because_o they_o

they_o mean_v they_o have_v these_o base_a &_o common_a thing_n for_o a_o small_a price_n yet_o they_o may_v have_v true_o say_v of_o the_o man_n that_o they_o have_v that_o for_o nothing_o even_o for_o the_o gather_n but_o now_o in_o a_o murmur_a spirit_n they_o have_v rather_o give_v some_o thing_n for_o the_o worse_o then_o enjoy_v the_o best_a for_o nothing_o &_o will_v not_o only_o change_v for_o the_o worse_o but_o also_o give_v something_o for_o the_o exchange_n &_o thus_o have_v a_o imagination_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v marvelous_a well_o with_o they_o if_o they_o be_v any_o otherwise_o then_o they_o be_v yea_o though_o it_o be_v much_o worse_o therefore_o we_o must_v endeavour_v to_o profit_n by_o our_o present_a estate_n &_o to_o serve_v god_n in_o it_o never_o

that_o we_o can_v not_o find_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o forgive_v they_o sure_o even_o this_o because_o we_o do_v only_o look_v upon_o the_o hurt_n do_v unto_o we_o we_o muse_v upon_o that_o we_o

look_v upon_o our_o own_o harm_n and_o not_o on_o the_o harm_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n before_o god_n but_o we_o must_v do_v it_o certain_o the_o lord_n jesus_n command_v we_o pray_v for_o your_o

the_o love_n that_o christ_n love_v we_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o frame_v our_o love_n one_o towards_o another_o even_o towards_o our_o enemy_n in_o pity_v they_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o they_o may_v

of_o love_n towards_o our_o enemy_n because_o i_o know_v it_o be_v so_o hard_a a_o matter_n for_o flesh_n and_o blood_n to_o be_v satisfy_v in_o this_o point_n to_o stay_v from_o revengement_n it_o
