the_o chapter_n be_v end_v in_o the_o 23._o verse_n when_o they_o come_v to_o marah_n in_o the_o same_o chapter_n they_o can_v not_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n of_o marah_n for_o they_o be_v bitter_a therefore_o the_o name_n of_o it_o be_v call_v marah_n and_o the_o people_n murmur_v against_o moses_n after_o so_o great_a a_o mercy_n as_o this_o be_v what_o unthankfulnes_n be_v there_o here_o in_o their_o murmur_a then_o god_n give_v they_o water_n but_o in_o the_o very_a next_o chapter_n they_o fall_v to_o their_o murmur_a you_o read_v not_o that_o they_o be_v humble_v for_o their_o former_a murmur_a and_o therefore_o they_o murmur_v again_o exod._n 16.1_o etc._n etc._n all_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n come_v to_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o whole_a congregation_n in_o the_o second_o verse_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n murmur_v against_o moses_n and_o against_o aaron_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o they_o will_v to_o god_n we_o have_v die_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n when_o we_o sit_v by_o the_o fleshpot_n and_o when_o we_o do_v eat_v

murmur_a against_o god_n neither_o when_o god_n give_v they_o flesh_n according_a to_o their_o desire_n but_o they_o fall_v to_o murmur_v again_o they_o want_v somewhat_o else_o in_o the_o very_a next_o chapter_n they_o go_v not_o far_o in_o the_o 17_o of_o exod._n beginning_n and_o all_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n journy_v from_o the_o wilderness_n of_o sin_n and_o pitth_v in_o rephadim_n and_o there_o be_v no_o water_n for_o the_o people_n to_o drink_v then_o in_o the_o second_o verse_n wherefore_o the_o people_n do_v chide_v with_o moses_n and_o say_v give_v

that_o the_o first_o agravation_n be_v this_o to_o murmur_v when_o we_o enjoy_v abundance_n of_o mercy_n the_o great_a and_o the_o more_o abundant_a the_o mercy_n be_v that_o we_o enjoy_v the_o

because_o they_o want_v some_o few_o particular_n that_o they_o desire_v oh_o to_o sin_n against_o god_n after_o a_o great_a mercy_n this_o be_v a_o great_a agravation_n and_o a_o most_o abominable_a thing_n now_o my_o brethren_n the_o lord_n have_v grant_v we_o very_o great_a mercy_n i_o will_v but_o speak_v a_o word_n of_o what_o god_n have_v do_v of_o late_a what_o mercy_n have_v the_o lord_n grant_v to_o we_o this_o summer_n heap_a mercy_n upon_o we_o one_o mercy_n upon_o another_o what_o a_o condition_n be_v we_o in_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o summer_n and_o what_o a_o different_a

mention_v good_a upon_o we_o for_o all_o our_o murmur_a the_o lord_n have_v go_v on_o with_o one_o mercy_n after_o another_o we_o hear_v of_o mercy_n in_o bristol_n and_o mercy_n to_o our_o brethren_n in_o scotland_n but_o still_o if_o after_o this_o we_o shall_v have_v any_o thing_n befall_v we_o that_o be_v but_o cross_a to_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o murmur_v again_o present_o oh_o let_v we_o not_o so_o requite_v god_n for_o those_o mercy_n of_o he_o oh_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o give_v god_n any_o ill_a requital_n for_o his_o mercy_n oh_o give_v god_n praise_v according_a to_o his_o excellent_a greatness_n to_o his_o excellent_a goodness_n and_o grace_n and_o now_o have_v god_n give_v to_o you_o the_o contentment_n of_o your_o heart_n take_v you_o heed_n of_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o any_o grief_n to_o your_o brethren_n think_v not_o that_o because_o god_n have_v be_v gracious_a unto_o you_o that_o therefore_o he_o have_v give_v you_o liberty_n for_o to_o bring_v they_o into_o bondage_n oh_o let_v not_o there_o be_v such_o a_o ill_a effect_n of_o god_n mercy_n to_o you_o as_o for_o you_o to_o exclude_v by_o petition_v or_o any_o other_o way_n your_o brethren_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v please_v to_o make_v instrument_n of_o your_o peace_n let_v not_o that_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o it_o nor_o to_o desire_v any_o thing_n that_o yourselves_o do_v not_o yet_o understand_v god_n be_v very_o jealous_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o ill_a use_n make_v of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n after_o we_o enjoy_v it_o oh_o it_o will_v go_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n nothing_o be_v more_o grievous_a to_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n than_o the_o abuse_n of_o mercy_n as_o now_o if_o any_o way_n that_o be_v hard_a and_o rigid_a shall_v be_v take_v towards_o our_o brethren_n and_o those_o especial_o that_o god_n have_v make_v such_o special_a instrument_n of_o good_a to_o we_o that_o have_v be_v so_o willing_a to_o venture_v their_o life_n and_o all_o for_o we_o now_o when_o we_o have_v our_o turn_n serve_v let_v god_n and_o his_o people_n and_o servant_n that_o have_v be_v a_o

the_o lord_n have_v make_v this_o summer_n to_o be_v a_o continue_a miracle_n of_o mercy_n never_o do_v a_o kingdom_n enjoy_v in_o so_o little_a space_n of_o time_n such_o mercy_n one_o upon_o

what_o particular_a affliction_n god_n shall_v dispose_v we_o to_o there_o must_v be_v contentment_n in_o they_o second_o there_o must_v be_v a_o submission_n to_o god_n in_o every_o affliction_n for_o the_o time_n and_o continuance_n of_o the_o affliction_n it_o may_v be_v say_v one_o i_o can_v submit_v and_o be_v content_a but_o this_o affliction_n have_v be_v upon_o i_o a_o long_a time_n a_o quarter_n of_o a_o year_n a_o year_n divers_a year_n and_o i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o yield_v and_o submit_v to_o it_o my_o patience_n be_v even_o wear_v and_o break_v yea_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a affliction_n you_o can_v submit_v to_o god_n you_o say_v in_o any_o outward_a affliction_n but_o not_o in_o a_o soul-affliction_n or_o if_o it_o be_v a_o affliction_n upon_o the_o

in_o the_o midst_n of_o jordan_n till_o every_o thing_n be_v finish_v that_o the_o lord_n command_v joshua_n to_o speak_v unto_o the_o people_n according_a to_o all_o that_o moses_n command_v joshua_n

and_o i_o know_v that_o my_o own_o heart_n be_v such_o that_o a_o poor_a condition_n be_v more_o suitable_a to_o i_o than_o a_o rich_a so_o certain_o will_v we_o say_v if_o we_o know_v our_o own_o

the_o burden_n that_o be_v in_o a_o prosperous_a estate_n object_n you_o will_v say_v what_o burden_n be_v there_o in_o a_o prosperous_a estate_n answ_n yes_o certain_o a_o great_a burden_n and_o there_o need_v a_o great_a strength_n to_o bear_v it_o as_o man_n have_v need_v of_o strong_a brain_n that_o can_v bear_v strong_a wine_n so_o they_o have_v need_n of_o strong_a spirit_n that_o be_v

it_o that_o he_o must_v be_v rich_a and_o he_o will_v be_v rich_a such_o a_o man_n will_v pierce_v himself_o through_o with_o many_o sorrow_n he_o look_v upon_o the_o delight_n and_o glory_n of_o

about_o be_v very_o fair_a and_o sandy_a ground_n and_o you_o see_v there_o a_o town_n a_o great_a way_n off_o in_o a_o bottom_n and_o you_o think_v oh_o how_o brave_o be_v that_o town_n seat_v but_o when_o you_o come_v and_o ride_v into_o the_o town_n you_o shall_v ride_v through_o a_o dirty_a lane_n and_o through_o a_o company_n of_o fearful_a dirty_a hole_n and_o you_o can_v not_o see_v the_o dirty_a lane_n and_o hole_n when_o you_o be_v two_o or_o three_o mile_n off_o so_o sometime_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o prosperity_n of_o man_n and_o think_v such_o a_o man_n live_v brave_o and_o comfortable_o but_o if_o we_o do_v but_o know_v what_o trouble_v he_o meet_v withal_o in_o his_o family_n in_o his_o estate_n in_o his_o deal_n with_o man_n we_o will_v not_o think_v his_o condition_n so_o happy_a one_o may_v have_v a_o very_a fine_a new_a shoe_n but_o no_o body_n know_v where_o it_o pinch_v he_o but_o he_o that_o have_v it_o on_o so_o you_o think_v such_o and_o such_o man_n be_v happy_a but_o they_o may_v have_v many_o trouble_n that_o you_o little_o think_v of_o 2_o there_o be_v a_o burden_n of_o danger_n in_o it_o man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o prosperous_a condition_n they_o be_v in_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o danger_n you_o see_v some_o time_n in_o the_o evening_n when_o you_o light_v up_o your_o candle_n the_o moth_n and_o the_o gnat_n will_v be_v fly_v up_o and_o down_o

that_o be_v set_v upon_o a_o pinnacle_n on_o high_a these_o man_n they_o be_v in_o great_a danger_n than_o other_o man_n be_v honey_n we_o know_v do_v invite_v bee_n and_o wasp_n unto_o it_o and_o so_o the_o sweet_a of_o prosperity_n do_v invite_v the_o devil_n and_o temptation_n man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o prosperous_a estate_n be_v subject_a to_o many_o temptation_n that_o other_o man_n be_v
