happy_a life_n this_o will_v make_v death_n attend_v even_o with_o extremity_n of_o terror_n to_o be_v tolerable_a as_o we_o read_v of_o some_o in_o that_o long_a catalogue_n of_o saint_n and_o martyr_n heb._n 11.35_o other_o be_v torture_v not_o accept_v deliverance_n that_o they_o may_v obtain_v a_o better_a resurrection_n it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o ruin_n and_o dissolution_n of_o this_o earthly_a tabernacle_n to_o be_v assure_v that_o when_o it_o be_v dissolve_v we_o shall_v have_v a_o build_n of_o god_n a_o house_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n as_o the_o same_o apostle_n assure_v we_o 2_o cor._n 5.1_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o virtue_n there_o be_v in_o the_o firm_a belief_n and_o persuasion_n of_o a_o better_a life_n to_o bear_v up_o man_n spirit_n under_o those_o suffering_n and_o torment_n which_o may_v seem_v unsupportable_a to_o humane_a nature_n and_o so_o indeed_o they_o will_v be_v without_o a_o extraordinary_a grace_n and_o assistance_n of_o god_n to_o enable_v they_o to_o bear_v those_o suffering_n which_o his_o providence_n permit_v they_o to_o be_v exercise_v withal_o but_o of_o this_o extraordinary_a grace_n we_o be_v assure_v not_o only_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o attribute_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n but_o likewise_o from_o the_o express_a promise_n and_o declaration_n of_o his_o word_n the_o attribute_n of_o god_n and_o his_o providence_n give_v we_o good_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o he_o who_o love_v goodness_n and_o righteousness_n and_o have_v a_o peculiar_a favour_n and_o regard_v for_o good_a man_n will_v never_o suffer_v his_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n to_o be_v bring_v into_o that_o distress_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o endure_v those_o evil_n and_o affliction_n which_o befall_v they_o upon_o that_o account_n and_o if_o in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o providence_n any_o thing_n happen_v to_o they_o that_o be_v above_o the_o ordinary_a constancy_n and_o patience_n of_o humane_a nature_n to_o bear_v that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n god_n will_v extraordinary_o interpose_v and_o give_v they_o strength_n and_o patience_n support_v and_o comfort_n proportionable_a to_o the_o evil_n and_o suffering_n that_o be_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o he_o will_v either_o lighten_v their_o burden_n or_o add_v to_o their_o strength_n he_o will_v either_o mitigate_v their_o pain_n or_o increase_v their_o patience_n either_o he_o will_v check_v and_o restrain_v the_o effect_n of_o natural_a cause_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o three_o child_n that_o be_v in_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n and_o of_o daniel_n who_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o den_n of_o lion_n or_o else_o which_o come_v to_o the_o same_o issue_n if_o he_o will_v suffer_v cause_n to_o have_v their_o natural_a course_n he_o will_v afford_v supernatural_a comfort_n to_o balance_v the_o fury_n and_o extremity_n of_o they_o this_o be_v very_o credible_a from_o the_o mere_a consideration_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o of_o the_o particular_a care_n and_o favour_n of_o his_o providence_n towards_o good_a men._n but_o beside_o this_o we_o have_v the_o express_a promise_n and_o declaration_n of_o god_n word_n to_o this_o purpose_n which_o put_v we_o out_o of_o all_o doubt_n concern_v that_o which_o we_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o hope_n and_o expect_v before_o 1_o cor._n 10.13_o st._n paul_n there_o tell_v the_o christian_n at_o corinth_n that_o though_o they_o have_v meet_v with_o some_o trouble_n yet_o they_o have_v not_o be_v try_v with_o the_o extremity_n of_o suffer_v but_o when_o that_o shall_v happen_v they_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o doubt_v but_o god_n will_v enable_v they_o to_o bear_v it_o there_o have_v no_o temptation_n take_v you_o but_o such_o as_o be_v common_a to_o man_n that_o be_v you_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v exercise_v with_o any_o trial_n but_o what_o be_v humane_a what_o the_o ordinary_a strength_n and_o resolution_n of_o humane_a nature_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v but_o in_o case_n it_o shall_v come_v to_o extreme_a suffer_v and_o that_o they_o must_v either_o comply_v with_o the_o heathen_a idolatry_n or_o endure_v extremity_n of_o torment_n they_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n help_n to_o support_v they_o in_o that_o case_n god_n be_v faithful_a say_v he_o who_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o that_o you_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v but_o will_v with_o the_o temptation_n also_o make_v a_o way_n to_o escape_v that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o and_o than_o it_o follow_v wherefore_o my_o dear_o belove_a flee_v from_o idolatry_n that_o be_v let_v no_o suffer_v that_o you_o be_v tempt_v withal_o make_v you_o guilty_a of_o this_o sin_n and_o 1_o pet._n 4.14_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o a_o very_a glorious_a manner_n for_o our_o support_n and_o comfort_n be_v promise_v to_o those_o who_o suffer_v for_o he_o if_o you_o be_v reproach_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n happy_a be_v you_o for_o the_o spirit_n of_o glory_n and_o of_o god_n rest_v upon_o you_o and_o this_o consideration_n of_o god_n

for_o if_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n the_o present_a suffering_n of_o good_a man_n be_v intolerable_a and_o humane_a nature_n be_v not_o divine_o assist_v to_o bear_v they_o how_o great_a soever_o

the_o ii_o thing_n i_o propose_v to_o consider_v namely_o how_o it_o may_v be_v make_v out_o to_o be_v reasonable_a to_o embrace_v and_o voluntary_o to_o submit_v to_o present_v and_o grievous_a suffering_n in_o hope_n of_o future_a happiness_n and_o reward_n concern_v which_o we_o have_v not_o nor_o perhaps_o be_v capable_a of_o have_v the_o same_o degree_n of_o certainty_n and_o assurance_n which_o we_o have_v of_o the_o evil_n and_o suffering_n of_o this_o present_a life_n now_o grant_v that_o we_o have_v not_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o certainty_n concern_v our_o future_a happiness_n that_o we_o have_v of_o our_o present_a suffering_n which_o we_o feel_v or_o see_v just_o ready_a to_o come_v upon_o we_o yet_o prudence_n make_v it_o necessary_a for_o man_n to_o run_v this_o hazard_n do_v justify_v the_o reasonableness_n of_o it_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o know_v and_o rule_v case_n in_o the_o common_a affair_n of_o life_n and_o in_o matter_n of_o temporal_a concernment_n and_o man_n act_n upon_o this_o principle_n every_o day_n the_o husbandman_n part_n with_o his_o corn_n and_o cast_v it_o into_o the_o earth_n in_o confidence_n that_o it_o will_v spring_v up_o again_o and_o at_o the_o time_n of_o harvest_n bring_v he_o in_o a_o considerable_a return_n and_o advantage_n he_o part_v with_o a_o certainty_n in_o hope_n only_o of_o a_o great_a future_a benefit_n and_o though_o he_o have_v no_o demonstration_n for_o the_o infallible_a success_n of_o his_o labour_n and_o hazard_n yet_o he_o act_v very_o reasonable_o because_o if_o he_o do_v not_o take_v this_o course_n he_o run_v a_o great_a and_o more_o certain_a hazard_n of_o perish_v by_o famine_n at_o last_o when_o his_o present_a stock_n be_v spend_v the_o case_n of_o the_o merchant_n be_v the_o same_o who_o part_n with_o a_o present_a estate_n in_o hope_n of_o a_o future_a improvement_n which_o yet_o be_v not_o so_o certain_a as_o what_o he_o part_v withal_o and_o if_o this_o be_v reasonable_a in_o these_o case_n then_o the_o hazard_n which_o man_n run_v upon_o much_o great_a assurance_n than_o either_o the_o husbandman_n or_o the_o merchant_n have_v be_v much_o more_o reasonable_a when_o we_o part_v with_o this_o life_n in_o hope_n of_o one_o infinite_o better_a that_o be_v in_o sure_a and_o certain_a hope_n of_o a_o resurrection_n to_o eternal_a life_n and_o when_o we_o submit_v to_o present_v suffering_n to_o avoid_v a_o eternity_n of_o misery_n which_o be_v much_o more_o to_o be_v dread_v than_o temporal_a want_n this_o be_v reasonable_a because_o here_o be_v a_o much_o great_a advantage_n in_o view_n and_o a_o more_o press_a necessity_n in_o the_o case_n nothing_o be_v so_o desirable_a to_o one_o that_o must_v live_v for_o ever_o as_o to_o be_v happy_a for_o ever_o and_o nothing_o to_o be_v avoid_v by_o he_o with_o so_o much_o care_n as_o everlasting_a misery_n and_o ruin_n and_o for_o our_o security_n of_o obtain_v the_o one_o and_o escape_v the_o other_o we_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n who_o can_v lie_v which_o be_v all_o the_o certainty_n and_o security_n that_o thing_n future_a and_o invisible_a be_v
