therefore_o though_o you_o be_v unfit_a as_o you_o think_v for_o this_o suffer_a work_n yet_o be_v not_o discourage_v but_o you_o will_v say_v i_o be_o not_o afraid_a of_o suffer_v upon_o this_o

my_o suffering_n will_v not_o turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n because_o my_o suffering_n come_v by_o sin_n can_v any_o suffering_n that_o come_v by_o sin_n turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n i_o answer_v yea_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n when_o the_o ark_n be_v take_v be_v not_o the_o people_n in_o a_o sad_a condition_n yes_o they_o lament_v after_o the_o ark_n twenty_o year_n and_o

suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n suppose_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o suffer_v will_v turn_v to_o a_o little_a account_n suppose_v there_o be_v a_o little_a suffering_n will_v

question_n and_o worthy_a of_o all_o our_o consideration_n for_o answer_v unto_o this_o first_o if_o you_o will_v order_v and_o manage_v all_o your_o suffering_n so_o as_o they_o may_v turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n be_v sure_a of_o this_o that_o all_o your_o suffering_n be_v underlie_v with_o godliness_n personal_a godliness_n and_o actual_a godliness_n with_o personal_a godliness_n for_o if_o your_o person_n be_v not_o accept_v your_o suffering_n will_v not_o if_o you_o be_v not_o in_o christ_n your_o suffering_n will_v come_v to_o little_a as_o the_o tree_n be_v so_o be_v the_o fruit_n that_o grow_v upon_o the_o tree_n if_o the_o tree_n be_v a_o crab_n all_o the_o fruit_n be_v but_o crab_n and_o if_o you_o be_v a_o crab_n and_o not_o implant_v into_o jesus_n christ_n your_o

any_o sin_n be_v a_o hole_n in_o the_o bag_n of_o our_o suffering_n if_o there_o be_v a_o hole_n in_o the_o bag_n all_o your_o money_n will_v run_v out_o sure_o if_o a_o man_n lie_v in_o any_o sin_n that_o sin_n be_v a_o hole_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o bag_n and_o all_o the_o profit_n of_o his_o suffering_n will_v run_v out_o though_o he_o suffer_v never_o so_o much_o for_o christ_n and_o for_o religion_n therefore_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n be_v sure_a that_o all_o your_o suffering_n be_v underlie_v with_o godliness_n personal_a and_o actual_a godliness_n second_o if_o you_o will_v so_o order_v and_o manage_v your_o suffering_n as_o that_o they_o may_v turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n then_o labour_v to_o get_v your_o understanding_n clear_a and_o your_o will_n free_a in_o the_o matter_n and_o business_n of_o suffering_n for_o though_o the_o thing_n that_o you_o suffer_v for_o be_v never_o so_o right_a yet_o if_o you_o have_v not_o a_o clear_a understanding_n in_o what_o you_o suffer_v your_o suffering_n will_v turn_v to_o little_a and_o though_o you_o have_v never_o so_o clear_a a_o understanding_n yet_o if_o your_o will_n be_v not_o free_a it_o will_v turn_v to_o little_a you_o know_v how_o it_o be_v with_o moses_n it_o be_v say_v he_o refuse_v to_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o pharaoh_n daughter_n and_o choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n why_o when_o be_v this_o when_o he_o come_v of_o year_n why_o when_o he_o come_v of_o year_n because_o than_o he_o have_v discretion_n and_o understanding_n and_o the_o holyghost_n will_v show_v that_o he_o do_v what_o he_o do_v understand_o in_o the_o point_n of_o his_o suffering_n and_o he_o do_v it_o free_o in_o the_o point_n of_o his_o will_n for_o he_o choose_v rather_o choose_v be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o will_n so_o that_o if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o suffering_n turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n labour_v to_o get_v a_o clear_a understanding_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o your_o suffering_n and_o be_v very_o free_a in_o your_o will_n you_o will_v say_v to_o i_o how_o can_v i_o be_v free_o willing_a to_o part_v with_o my_o house_n or_o land_n or_o

be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o he_o be_v unwilling_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o he_o suffer_v but_o he_o be_v very_o willing_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o father_n will_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v not_o my_o will_n but_o thy_o will_n be_v do_v this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n let_v your_o understanding_n be_v clear_a and_o your_o will_n be_v free_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o your_o suffering_n three_o take_v heed_n you_o run_v not_o into_o any_o suffering_n without_o a_o call_v nor_o rush_v out_o of_o that_o suffering_n without_o the_o same_o call_v from_o god_n noah_n be_v in_o the_o ark_n and_o when_o the_o water_n be_v abate_v from_o off_o the_o earth_n noah_n will_v not_o stir_v out_o of_o the_o ark._n why_o will_v not_o noah_n go_v out_o when_o the_o water_n be_v abate_v why_o as_o noah_n have_v a_o call_n to_o go_v in_o so_o he_o will_v have_v the_o same_o call_v to_o go_v out_o a_o man_n must_v not_o run_v into_o a_o suffering_n without_o a_o call_v and_o he_o must_v not_o rush_v out_o of_o it_o without_o a_o call_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o martyr_n that_o thus_o they_o act_v they_o will_v hide_v and_o go_v aside_o and_o avoid_v their_o suffering_n but_o when_o they_o be_v in_o hold_n they_o will_v not_o go_v out_o though_o the_o door_n be_v open_a so_o that_o

you_o do_v suffer_v according_a to_o christ_n example_n which_o you_o may_v do_v if_o you_o suffer_v with_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o disposition_n that_o christ_n do_v &_o suffer_v in_o the_o

a_o good_a account_n then_o take_v heed_n that_o there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n find_v in_o the_o way_n of_o your_o suffering_n a_o man_n may_v be_v very_o stiff_a and_o stand_v out_o here_o and_o yet_o he_o may_v yield_v there_o say_v the_o apostle_n if_o i_o build_v again_o what_o i_o have_v destroy_v i_o make_v myself_o a_o transgressor_n and_o blessed_n be_v the_o man_n that_o condemn_v
