let_v we_o consider_v what_o the_o evil_n of_o sickness_n be_v 1._o sickness_n take_v away_o the_o comfort_n of_o society_n so_o that_o the_o company_n of_o dear_a relation_n become_v burdensome_a this_o be_v the_o evil_a of_o some_o of_o our_o sickness_n those_o that_o be_v wont_a to_o take_v sweet_a counsel_n together_o to_o go_v to_o the_o house_n of_o god_n together_o now_o be_v weary_a

burdensome_a as_o the_o full_a stomach_n so_o the_o sick_a stomach_n loathe_v the_o honeycomb_n the_o sick_a man_n psal_n 107._o 18._o his_o soul_n be_v say_v to_o abhor_v all_o meat_n this_o be_v another_o evil_a effect_n of_o the_o disease_n that_o be_v among_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o sickness_n the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n that_o be_v former_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a be_v now_o become_v burdensome_a have_v not_o many_o cause_n to_o be_v convince_v that_o they_o be_v sick_a see_v they_o find_v that_o those_o ordinance_n and_o duty_n that_o be_v in_o time_n past_o their_o meat_n and_o

once_o they_o find_v sweetness_n in_o which_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o dreadful_a apostasy_n 3._o sickness_n bring_v a_o consumption_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n this_o be_v another_o sad_a effect_n of_o our_o sickness_n how_o many_o be_v there_o this_o day_n that_o have_v leanness_n in_o their_o soul_n their_o grace_n languish_v grace_n itself_o seem_v to_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v 4._o sickness_n

sickness_n have_v stain_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o whole_a country_n when_o zion_n be_v a_o praise_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o her_o renown_n be_v great_a holiness_n and_o righteousness_n peace_n and_o unity_n be_v her_o beauty_n but_o these_o be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n lose_v and_o her_o beauty_n be_v go_v the_o beauty_n of_o many_o of_o the_o professor_n of_o religion_n be_v so_o much_o

dishonour_v and_o their_o glory_n be_v go_v o_o the_o wonderful_a change_n that_o spiritual_a sickness_n have_v make_v 5._o sickness_n be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o death_n when_o there_o be_v a_o sick_a bed_n there_o be_v a_o expectation_n of_o a_o grave_a heman_n speak_v personal_o of_o himself_o psal_n 88_o 3._o my_o life_n draw_v nigh_o unto_o the_o grave_n our_o sickness_n give_v we_o cause_n to_o fear_v we_o be_v not_o far_o off_o the_o grave_n when_o the_o best_a and_o most_o proper_a physic_n will_v not_o work_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o death_n approach_v be_v we_o not_o this_o day_n make_v grave_n for_o all_o our_o blessing_n and_o comfort_n have_v we_o not_o reason_n to_o expect_v that_o ere_o long_o our_o mourner_n will_v go_v up_o and_o down_o and_o say_v how_o be_v new-england_n fall_v that_o land_n that_o be_v a_o land_n of_o holiness_n have_v lose_v her_o holiness_n that_o be_v a_o land_n of_o righteousness_n have_v lose_v her_o righteousness_n that_o be_v a_o land_n of_o peace_n have_v lose_v her_o peace_n that_o be_v a_o land_n of_o liberty_n be_v now_o in_o sore_a bondage_n sin_n bring_v death_n near_o and_o set_v god_n afar_o off_o and_o hence_o we_o must_v be_v miserable_a all_o that_o come_v to_o visit_v we_o have_v need_n to_o mind_v we_o of_o our_o latter_a end_n the_o death_n of_o our_o mercy_n if_o god_n deal_v with_o we_o as_o he_o have_v be_v wont_a to_o deal_v with_o other_o he_o will_v make_v we_o a_o better_a people_n or_o leave_v we_o when_o a_o people_n have_v the_o mean_n of_o heal_a and_o be_v not_o heal_v there_o be_v cause_n to_o fear_v that_o god_n loathe_v and_o reject_v they_o see_v how_o the_o prophet_n expostulate_v the_o case_n with_o god_n jerem._n 14._o 10._o have_v thou_o utter_o reject_v judah_n have_v thy_o soul_n loathe_v zion_n why_o have_v thou_o smite_v we_o and_o there_o be_v no_o heal_n for_o we_o we_o look_v for_o peace_n and_o there_o be_v no_o good_a and_o for_o the_o time_n of_o heal_a and_o behold_v trouble_v there_o be_v three_o thing_n speak_v sad_o to_o we_o and_o tell_v we_o we_o have_v little_a cause_n to_o be_v secure_a 1._o that_o there_o be_v so_o sew_v bear_v to_o jesus_n christ_n indeed_o child_n be_v multiply_v but_o there_o be_v not_o much_o cause_n of_o joy_n therewith_o but_o rather_o of_o fear_n that_o they_o be_v bear_v for_o the_o sword_n and_o famine_n and_o other_o judgement_n when_o a_o land_n bear_v not_o to_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n the_o child_n therein_o be_v bear_v to_o judgement_n how_o much_o have_v god_n estrange_v himself_o from_o his_o ordinance_n how_o little_a converting-work_n be_v

there_o among_o we_o we_o see_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o young_a generation_n be_v profane_a and_o spend_v the_o best_a of_o their_o time_n in_o satan_n service_n and_o know_v not_o the_o god_n of_o their_o father_n 2._o another_o thing_n that_o speak_v sad_o to_o we_o be_v that_o under_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n there_o be_v so_o little_a spiritual_a growth_n among_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v to_o jesus_n christ_n barrenness_n make_v way_n for_o curse_v and_o rejection_n 3._o the_o noise_n that_o be_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n a_o confuse_a noise_n this_o be_v that_o which_o god_n can_v never_o endure_v in_o his_o house_n it_o exceed_o stir_v up_o his_o wrath_n when_o the_o temple_n be_v to_o be_v build_v there_o be_v not_o to_o be_v the_o noise_n of_o a_o hammer_n 1_o king_n 6._o 7._o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o cause_n god_n to_o live_v unquiet_o in_o his_o own_o house_n to_o make_v he_o weary_a of_o his_o own_o dwelling-place_n god_n be_v never_o weary_a of_o the_o noise_n of_o his_o people_n prayer_n in_o his_o house_n but_o of_o the_o noise_n of_o their_o contention_n the_o noise_n of_o their_o prayer_n be_v pleasant_a but_o the_o noise_n of_o these_o contention_n his_o soul_n abhor_v use_v 2._o let_v this_o be_v matter_n of_o admiration_n as_o well_o as_o of_o humiliation_n to_o we_o that_o a_o sick_a people_n that_o have_v all_o mean_n to_o heal_v they_o be_v not_o heal_v that_o those_o who_o have_v gilead_v balm_n and_o gilead_v physician_n be_v yet_o sick_a and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o wonder_v at_o it_o stranger_n will_v hereafter_o that_o a_o people_n that_o have_v such_o proper_a suitable_a mean_n be_v still_o unrecovered_a and_o die_v under_o they_o i_o speak_v not_o to_o flatter_v we_o have_v a_o godly_a magistracy_n that_o have_v make_v it_o manifest_v that_o they_o be_v willing_a yea_o earnest_o desirous_a of_o heal_v the_o sickness_n of_o church_n and_o state_n we_o have_v godly_a minister_n that_o i_o be_o confident_a will_v spend_v and_o be_v spend_v for_o the_o recovery_n of_o the_o health_n of_o the_o daughter_n of_o zion_n we_o have_v holy_a ordinance_n and_o we_o have_v some_o mourn_a and_o pray_v saint_n that_o lament_v the_o evil_n that_o be_v among_o we_o and_o god_n providence_n call_v upon_o we_o daily_o to_o get_v our_o sickness_n heal_v and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o wonder_n that_o a_o people_n that_o have_v such_o mean_n and_o mercy_n shall_v still_o languish_v of_o their_o disease_n oh_o that_o that_o which_o be_v say_v of_o nineveh_n may_v never_o be_v say_v of_o we_o there_o be_v no_o heal_n of_o thy_o bruise_n thy_o wound_n be_v grievous_a nahum_n 3._o 19_o it_o will_v be_v sad_a if_o god_n shall_v threaten_v we_o as_o he_o do_v egypt_n jer._n 46._o 11._o in_o vain_a shall_v thou_o use_v many_o medicine_n for_o thou_o shall_v not_o be_v cure_v or_o if_o god_n shall_v say_v as_o once_o concern_v babylon_n jer._n 51._o 9_o we_o will_v have_v heal_v babylon_n but_o she_o be_v not_o heal_v forsake_v she_o and_o let_v we_o go_v every_o one_o into_o his_o own_o country_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o these_o heathen_a nation_n can_v not_o be_v heal_v but_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o astonishment_n that_o zion_n be_v not_o that_o new-england_n shall_v have_v so_o much_o mean_n of_o healing_n and_o yet_o continue_v sick_a that_o a_o people_n that_o be_v
