to_o cut_v wood_n 6._o fall_v into_o the_o water_n this_o affection_n be_v natural_a not_o spring_v up_o in_o our_o flesh_n by_o chance_n but_o by_o the_o wisdom_n and_o secret_a council_n of_o god_n

etc_n etc_n the_o second_o cause_n why_o god_n spare_v the_o innocent_n be_v for_o that_o the_o ancient_a man_n of_o the_o city_n though_o not_o all_o yet_o the_o great_a part_n repent_v at_o the_o preach_n of_o ionas_n god_n therefore_o spare_v the_o infant_n for_o the_o elder_n sake_n which_o repent_v as_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n thus_o 20._o show_v

say_v he_o bring_v forth_o grass_n for_o the_o cattle_n yet_o notwithstanding_o god_n spare_v not_o man_n for_o the_o cattle_n sake_n but_o he_o spare_v the_o cattle_n for_o the_o man_n sake_n as_o we_o may_v read_v that_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v destroy_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n as_o in_o the_o flood_n in_o sodom_n in_o amelecke_n so_o also_o we_o may_v read_v that_o beast_n

the_o legend_n of_o saint_n do_v declare_v unto_o we_o that_o they_o suffer_v death_n void_a almost_o of_o all_o pain_n and_o that_o they_o go_v to_o their_o death_n with_o no_o less_o courage_n and_o

then_o do_v he_o not_o know_v that_o by_o this_o death_n he_o shall_v redeem_v mankind_n and_o enter_v into_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n yes_o undoubted_o he_o know_v it_o what_o do_v he_o

that_o if_o we_o at_o any_o time_n shall_v be_v trouble_v with_o fear_n shall_v not_o despair_v but_o have_v a_o certain_a and_o sure_a hope_n and_o call_v upon_o god_n for_o deliverance_n for_o he_o

a_o worthy_a and_o a_o holy_a prophet_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o when_o he_o think_v upon_o the_o deceit_n 55._o and_o cruelty_n of_o his_o enemy_n he_o say_v fearfulness_n and_o tremble_a be_v

this_o fear_n of_o itself_o be_v not_o impiety_n but_o it_o be_v partly_o a_o punishment_n of_o impiety_n for_o if_o man_n have_v not_o sin_v he_o have_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o fear_n of_o

and_o yet_o be_v not_o destroy_v be_v the_o prophet_n therefore_o a_o liar_n true_o this_o be_v the_o special_a cause_n why_o the_o prophet_n flee_v before_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n &_o will_v not_o preach_v destruction_n to_o the_o ninivet_n for_o he_o consider_v that_o if_o they_o shall_v repent_v the_o city_n shall_v continue_v in_o the_o former_a state_n and_o he_o count_v
