any_o room_n for_o discontent_n when_o any_o trouble_v come_v that_o which_o make_v they_o bitter_a be_v to_o consider_v the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o instrument_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o say_v oh_o that_o false_a servant_n that_o treacherous_a child_n if_o god_n have_v do_v this_o or_o that_o it_o will_v not_o have_v trouble_v we_o why_o belove_v look_v into_o the_o text_n it_o be_v not_o they_o but_o god_n that_o do_v it_o for_o holy_a and_o wife_n end_v sudden_a and_o unexpected_a accident_n be_v great_a cause_n of_o affliction_n to_o have_v a_o child_n or_o friend_n cut_v off_o by_o some_o unexpected_a accident_n yet_o we_o must_v consider_v though_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o chance_n or_o fortune_n to_o we_o there_o be_v nothing_o fall_v out_o but_o by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o almighty_n god_n as_o deut._n 19.5_o compare_v with_o exod._n 21.13_o god_n suffer_v not_o a_o sparrow_n to_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n without_o his_o providence_n much_o less_o will_v he_o do_v so_o by_o man_n all_o thing_n that_o be_v chance_n to_o we_o be_v eternal_o determine_v by_o god_n i_o have_v hear_v many_o tender-spirited_n person_n say_v oh_o i_o be_o afraid_a i_o have_v not_o do_v all_o i_o shall_v in_o this_o or_o that_o matter_n as_o martha_n say_v lord_n if_o thou_o have_v be_v here_o our_o brother_n have_v not_o dye_v but_o i_o say_v when_o god_n have_v signify_v his_o will_n by_o the_o event_n than_o we_o be_v to_o rest_v satisfy_v god_n know_v how_o to_o order_v our_o ignorance_n and_o folly_n to_o his_o own_o holy_a and_o wise_a end_n again_o when_o we_o think_v upon_o the_o injury_n of_o wicked_a man_n the_o best_a comfort_n be_v to_o quiet_v ourselves_o as_o david_n the_o lord_n have_v send_v this_o shimei_n to_o curse_n david_n again_o when_o we_o see_v a_o deluge_n of_o wickedness_n and_o profaneness_n overflow_v a_o nation_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a cause_n of_o sorrow_n to_o a_o good_a man_n as_o it_o be_v to_o david_n rivers_n of_o water_n run_v down_o my_o eye_n because_o man_n keep_v not_o thy_o law_n it_o be_v a_o just_a cause_n of_o of_o sorrow_n that_o you_o be_v all_o call_v to_o at_o this_o time_n but_o yet_o belove_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v too_o much_o grieve_v god_n will_v not_o suffer_v his_o holy_a name_n to_o be_v always_o profane_v god_n can_v make_v this_o overspread_a of_o wickedness_n turn_v to_o the_o good_a of_o the_o nation_n prov._n 19.31_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v stand_v they_o can_v go_v one_o step_n further_o than_o god_n order_n and_o he_o can_v and_o will_v over-rule_v they_o again_o this_o will_v be_v of_o great_a comfort_n to_o we_o in_o all_o the_o riddle_n of_o god_n providence_n when_o we_o see_v holy_a man_n oppress_v and_o wicked_a man_n for_o a_o time_n to_o prosper_v in_o all_o these_o intricate_a providence_n god_n almighty_a will_v bring_v to_o pass_v his_o own_o wise_a and_o holy_a end_n adore_v the_o lord_n when_o you_o can_v comprehend_v he_o the_o wicked_a have_v one_o work_v to_o do_v and_o god_n have_v another_o judge_v not_o of_o providence_n by_o their_o present_a face_n and_o appearance_n he_o that_o have_v see_v joseph_n afflict_v and_o in_o the_o dungeon_n how_o can_v he_o have_v think_v that_o have_v be_v the_o way_n to_o a_o throne_n therefore_o do_v not_o judge_v of_o god_n work_n before_o you_o see_v the_o effect_n of_o they_o god_n have_v a_o work_n and_o purpose_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v let_v man_n oppose_v and_o cross_v it_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v therefore_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o wisdom_n to_o resign_v up_o our_o soul_n to_o god_n in_o the_o dark_a providence_n when_o we_o can_v see_v neither_o sun_n moon_n nor_o star_n lord_n i_o resign_v up_o myself_o to_o thou_o though_o i_o can_v comprehend_v thy_o design_n at_o present_a last_o if_o god_n work_v together_o with_o wicked_a man_n and_o turn_v all_o their_o action_n contrary_a to_o their_o own_o meaning_n why_o then_o we_o ought_v to_o work_v together_o with_o god_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o how_o we_o may_v draw_v good_a from_o the_o sin_n of_o wicked_a man_n when_o the_o sin_n of_o wicked_a man_n bring_v i_o to_o see_v my_o own_o and_o to_o watch_v and_o walk_v more_o holy_o with_o god_n and_o more_o diligent_o seek_v after_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n when_o the_o malice_n of_o my_o enemy_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o increase_v my_o grace_n why_o then_o belove_v i_o draw_v good_a out_o of_o evil._n again_o as_o to_o the_o public_a when_o we_o see_v wickedness_n abound_v we_o may_v draw_v good_a out_o of_o it_o we_o may_v now_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o to_o be_v witness_n for_o god_n and_o to_o live_v well_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o wicked_a nation_n when_o we_o see_v a_o deluge_n of_o drunkenness_n to_o abhor_v that_o sin_n so_o much_o the_o more_o so_o as_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o whoredom_n among_o we_o this_o shall_v make_v we_o strive_v to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o chaste_a and_o careful_a against_o all_o company_n that_o may_v tempt_v we_o when_o we_o see_v a_o spirit_n of_o formality_n and_o negligence_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n this_o shall_v make_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o fervent_a and_o to_o love_v holiness_n the_o better_a and_o when_o you_o see_v people_n come_v to_o such_o a_o measure_n of_o profaneness_n as_o for_o many_o year_n together_o to_o omit_v the_o lord_n supper_n this_o shall_v make_v we_o more_o diligent_a in_o our_o preparation_n to_o it_o the_o best_a way_n to_o overthrow_v popery_n be_v to_o live_v well_o like_o good_a protestant_n and_o especial_o i_o will_v not_o have_v a_o protestant_a tell_v a_o wilful_a lie_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o may_v turn_v our_o present_a danger_n
