own_o glory_n and_o to_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o child_n so_o god_n turn_v adam_n fall_n to_o the_o manifest_v of_o hi●_n own_o glory_n and_o to_o adam_n good_a for_o by_o thi●_n mean_n have_v

that_o god_n do_v still_o dispose_v of_o they_o to_o our_o good_a if_o we_o be_v his_o child_n again_o this_o may_v stand_v we_o in_o good_a stead_n when_o our_o have_v begin_v to_o boil_v in_o a_o

beset_v with_o so_o many_o enemy_n and_o overwhelm_v with_o such_o heap_n of_o trouble_n especial_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n wherewith_o god_n be_v provoke_v to_o anger_n to_o which_o we_o may_v answer_v that_o sin_n indeed_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o our_o trouble_n but_o yet_o whatsoever_o the_o lord_n lay_v upon_o his_o child_n here_o it_o be_v not_o a_o punishment_n of_o their_o sin_n for_o that_o be_v discharge_v by_o the_o hellish_a suffering_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o it_o be_v a_o fatherly_a correction_n from_o which_o we_o be_v no_o more_o free_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n than_o we_o be_v free_v from_o our_o natural_a death_n and_o it_o be_v lay_v upon_o we_o by_o our_o heavenly_a father_n for_o two_o principal_a cause_n first_o to_o prevent_v sin_n which_o we_o may_v fall_v into_o as_o presumption_n contempt_n unthankfulness_n forgetfulness_n of_o god_n and_o many_o more_o second_o they_o be_v lay_v upon_o we_o as_o physic_n to_o cure_v and_o heal_v sin_n which_o we_o be_v already_o fall_v into_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o david_n confess_v 119.67.71_o when_o he_o say_v before_o i_o be_v afflict_v i_o go_v astray_o but_o now_o i_o keep_v thy_o word_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v it_o be_v good_a for_o he_o to_o be_v afflict_v that_o he_o may_v learn_v the_o statute_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o both_o these_o end_n of_o our_o affliction_n 11.32_o the_o lord_n purpose_n be_v to_o stay_v we_o that_o we_o run_v not_o with_o the_o wicked_a world_n headlong_o to_o damnation_n who_o he_o have_v give_v over_o to_o

that_o he_o love_v we_o for_o all_o that_o &_o it_o be_v because_o he_o love_v we_o &_o to_o that_o end_n y_fw-mi t_z we_o may_v be_v assure_v y_o it_o he_o love_v we_o 16._o &_o that_o messenger_n

the_o question_n be_v by_o what_o ordinary_a mean_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n do_v convey_v this_o certificate_n of_o god_n favour_n unto_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n child_n in_o their_o

this_o assurance_n fail_v and_o fall_v from_o we_o and_o nothing_o remain_v but_o either_o a_o bare_a fancy_n float_a in_o the_o air_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o sure_a faith_n build_v on_o a_o firm_a
