you_o forward_o in_o the_o right_a way_n that_o lead_v unto_o everlasting_a life_n if_o the_o person_n visit_v be_v very_o sick_a than_o the_o minister_n may_v end_v his_o exhortation_n in_o this_o

he_o scourge_v every_o son_n which_o he_o receive_v if_o you_o endure_v chastisement_n he_o offer_v himself_o unto_o you_o as_o unto_o his_o own_o child_n what_o son_n be_v he_o that_o the_o father_n

carnal_a father_n do_v correct_v we_o we_o reverent_o obey_v they_o shall_v we_o not_o much_o rather_o be_v obedient_a to_o our_o spiritual_a father_n and_o so_o live_v and_o they_o for_o a_o few_o day_n do_v chastise_v we_o after_o their_o own_o pleasure_n but_o he_o do_v chastise_v we_o for_o our_o profit_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o he_o may_v make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o holiness_n these_o word_n good_a brother_n be_v god_n word_n and_o write_v in_o holy_a scripture_n for_o our_o comfort_n and_o instruction_n that_o we_o shall_v patient_o and_o with_o thanksgiving_n bear_v our_o heavenly_a father_n correction_n whensoever_o by_o any_o manner_n of_o adversity_n it_o shall_v please_v his_o gracious_a goodness_n to_o visit_v we_o and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o great_a comfort_n to_o christian_a person_n then_o to_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o christ_n by_o suffer_v patient_o adversity_n trouble_n and_o sickness_n for_o he_o himself_o go_v not_o up_o to_o joy_n but_o first_o

your_o sickness_n which_o be_v thus_o profitable_a for_o you_o patient_o i_o exhort_v you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o remember_v the_o profession_n which_o you_o make_v unto_o god_n in_o your_o baptism_n and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o after_o this_o life_n there_o be_v a_o account_n to_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o righteous_a judge_n of_o who_o all_o must_v be_v judge_v without_o respect_n of_o person_n i_o require_v you_o to_o examine_v yourself_o and_o your_o state_n both_o towards_o god_n and_o man_n so_o that_o accuse_v and_o condemn_v yourself_o for_o your_o own_o fault_n you_o
