good_a thing_n that_o a_o inordinate_a sinful_a heart_n can_v crave_v faith_n make_v the_o soul_n apprehend_v that_o whatsoever_o god_n do_v and_o whatsoever_o god_n pleasure_n be_v be_v better_a to_o

because_o it_o be_v his_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n so_o to_o have_v it_o and_o so_o the_o heart_n be_v quiet_v and_o full_o content_v and_o the_o want_n be_v supply_v because_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v better_a than_o to_o have_v what_o we_o desire_v the_o patient_n that_o trust_v to_o the_o skill_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o the_o physician_n be_v better_a content_n to_o take_v pill_n

what_o we_o desire_v be_v thou_o in_o trouble_n and_o misery_n faith_n will_v either_o fetch_v from_o god_n what_o thou_o need_v or_o else_o bring_v that_o which_o be_v better_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n by_o this_o mean_v the_o lord_n christ_n cure_v all_o the_o discontentment_n that_o may_v creep_v in_o upon_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o disciple_n matth._n 19.29_o there_o be_v no_o man_n

whatsoever_o we_o lose_v for_o a_o christ_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o hundred_o fold_v recompense_n for_o it_o as_o if_o a_o man_n for_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n suffer_v persecution_n or_o imprisonment_n and_o lose_v peace_n here_o thou_o thou_o shall_v have_v peace_n with_o god_n and_o thy_o soul_n shall_v prosper_v in_o grace_n and_o if_o friend_n haply_o forsake_v thou_o and_o the_o

the_o love_n of_o all_o earthly_a husband_n or_o friend_n for_o all_o these_o thing_n here_o below_o be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o shell_n but_o this_o be_v the_o pith_n and_o kernel_n the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o if_o a_o man_n lose_v liberty_n for_o christ_n he_o shall_v have_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o liberty_n in_o the_o peace_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o a_o free_a heart_n to_o serve_v god_n and_o in_o the_o 63._o psalm_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o psalm_n david_n be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o judah_n when_o saul_n have_v banish_v he_o from_o his_o

lip_n shall_v praise_v thou_o and_o in_o the_o 5._o verse_n he_o say_v my_o soul_n shall_v be_v fill_v as_o with_o ●●●row_n and_o fatness_n now_o marrow_n and_o fatness_n be_v the_o chief_a of_o all_o
