Together with divers other comfortable observations; gathered out of that counsell, given by Christ to his Apostles: and in them, to all beleevers. In John chap. 14. verses 1,2,3,4. / By John Archer, Master of Art, sometime preacher of All-hallowes Lumbard-street. London.

pardon_n believer_n be_v to_o grieve_v and_o humble_v themselves_o for_o sin_n &_o affliction_n and_o from_o this_o anger_n &_o grief_n joseph_n do_v not_o take_v off_o his_o brethren_n nor_o christ_n his_o disciple_n in_o my_o text_n this_o be_v a_o trouble_v that_o be_v good_a &_o profitable_a for_o they_o but_o as_o sin_n or_o affliction_n be_v behold_v only_o as_o our_o own_o in_o their_o bad_a

joseph_n to_o his_o brethren_n and_o christ_n to_o his_o disciple_n diswad_v from_o and_o no_o course_n be_v so_o full_a to_o remove_v or_o prevent_v it_o as_o this_o look_n on_o god_n the_o author_n of_o it_o and_o the_o good_a which_o he_o bring_v about_o by_o it_o which_o be_v rare_o do_v by_o believer_n yea_o hardly_o know_v &_o therefore_o i_o have_v enlarge_v it_o yet_o let_v i_o close_v this_o mean_n against_o all_o trouble_n as_o our_o saviour_n do_v namely_o that_o you_o know_v who_o be_v believer_n all_o this_o you_o know_v these_o true_a ground_n of_o consolation_n though_o not_o
