to_o hope_n for_o from_o the_o state_n of_o the_o resurrection_n the_o holy_a scripture_n represent_v it_o thus_o viz._n that_o christ_n our_o lord_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o salvation_n to_o all_o they_o that_o obey_v he_o shall_v raise_v we_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o shall_v take_v we_o into_o the_o mansion_n of_o his_o father_n house_n that_o where_o he_o be_v we_o may_v be_v also_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v with_o he_o but_o what_o be_v great_a we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o too_o 1_o joh._n 3._o 2._o for_o he_o shall_v change_v our_o vile_a body_n that_o they_o may_v be_v fashion_v like_o unto_o his_o glorious_a body_n and_o we_o shall_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o heavenly_a adam_n the_o apostle_n to_o give_v we_o a_o more_o distinct_a light_n into_o that_o wonderful_a change_n that_o shall_v pass_v upon_o every_o good_a christian_n at_o the_o resurrection_n express_v it_o 1_o cor._n 15._o in_o these_o five_o opposite_a respect_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o our_o body_n in_o their_o present_a state_n be_v weak_a and_o dishonourable_a and_o animal_n and_o corruptible_a and_o mortal_a weak_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o jar_a principle_n of_o their_o composition_n dishonourable_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o many_o noisome_a and_o humble_v effect_n that_o those_o principle_n produce_v animal_n because_o their_o life_n depend_v as_o that_o of_o beast_n do_v upon_o the_o return_n of_o a_o uncertain_a breath_n corruptible_a for_o that_o they_o tend_v every_o day_n towards_o dissolution_n which_o at_o last_o be_v finish_v in_o actual_a death_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o say_v those_o body_n that_o shall_v be_v be_v vigorous_a and_o glorious_a and_o spiritual_a and_o incorruptible_a and_o immortal_a vigorous_a without_o any_o weakness_n or_o impediment_n glorious_a without_o any_o darkness_n or_o deformity_n spiritual_a without_o any_o grossness_n or_o encumbrance_n incorruptible_a without_o any_o pain_n or_o passibility_n immortal_a without_o any_o alteration_n or_o decay_n our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o fortify_v his_o disciple_n against_o those_o trouble_n which_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o be_v likely_a to_o ensue_v take_v as_o many_o of_o they_o with_o he_o into_o the_o mount_n as_o make_v up_o a_o legal_a evidence_n and_o there_o give_v they_o a_o ocular_a conviction_n of_o this_o happy_a change_n where_o he_o transfigure_v himself_o before_o they_o and_o assume_v for_o a_o while_o the_o lustre_n of_o a_o glorify_a body_n under_o which_o appearance_n it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o face_n shine_v like_o the_o sun_n and_o his_o raiment_n pierce_v through_o with_o the_o beam_n that_o dart_v from_o his_o limb_n become_v as_o white_a as_o the_o light_n insomuch_o that_o his_o disciple_n fall_v into_o a_o ecstasy_n at_o the_o behold_v their_o own_o appearance_n be_v too_o weak_a at_o present_a to_o bear_v the_o very_a sight_n of_o that_o majesty_n and_o glory_n which_o in_o due_a time_n they_o themselves_o be_v to_o put_v on_o now_o this_o be_v the_o hope_n that_o be_v set_v before_o every_o one_o of_o we_o in_o the_o prospect_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o this_o be_v that_o hope_n which_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 6._o 18._o call_v the_o strong_a consolation_n indeed_o what_o consolation_n can_v be_v strong_a or_o what_o state_n of_o life_n can_v be_v so_o uncomfortable_a as_o that_o this_o may_v not_o fuffice_v to_o compose_v and_o sweeten_v it_o how_o strong_a a_o consolation_n be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n under_o bodily_a grief_n and_o pain_n to_o contemplate_v a_o state_n whereunto_o he_o be_v pass_v where_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o sorrow_n no_o more_o pain_n and_o where_o all_o tear_n shall_v be_v wipe_v from_o his_o eye_n how_o strong_a a_o consolation_n be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n under_o the_o circumstance_n of_o destitution_n and_o neglect_n to_o contemplate_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o person_n in_o the_o world_n so_o great_a so_o happy_a so_o honour_v so_o belove_v but_o that_o have_v a_o little_a patience_n he_o himself_o shall_v be_v more_o so_o how_o strong_a a_o consolation_n may_v it_o be_v to_o any_o of_o we_o to_o consider_v that_o all_o we_o suffer_v shall_v turn_v to_o a_o happy_a account_n if_o only_o we_o take_v care_n to_o direct_v it_o to_o that_o account_n and_o that_o all_o we_o lose_v be_v not_o lose_v unless_o we_o fling_v it_o after_o providence_n and_o lose_v it_o by_o our_o own_o peevishness_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v only_o take_v up_o to_o a_o interest_n which_o shall_v be_v pay_v at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a in_o the_o case_n of_o holy_a job_n that_o when_o he_o be_v strip_v and_o destitute_a of_o all_o that_o the_o world_n call_v comfort_n god_n be_v please_v to_o reveal_v this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n to_o he_o in_o so_o bright_a a_o manner_n that_o we_o can_v have_v the_o article_n full_a express_v at_o this_o day_n than_o it_o be_v in_o those_o word_n of_o he_o i_o know_v that_o my_o redeemer_n live_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v stand_v at_o the_o latter_a day_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o though_o after_o my_o skin_n worm_n destroy_v this_o body_n yet_o in_o my_o flesh_n shall_v i_o see_v god_n who_o i_o shall_v see_v for_o myself_o and_o my_o eye_n shall_v behold_v and_o not_o another_o that_o job_n have_v so_o full_a a_o revelation_n of_o this_o heal_a truth_n be_v a_o particular_a mercy_n to_o he_o but_o it_o be_v likewise_o a_o instruction_n to_o we_o that_o since_o the_o man_n of_o universal_a affliction_n have_v this_o revelation_n give_v he_o for_o a_o sure_a mean_n of_o his_o comfort_n there_o can_v be_v no_o affliction_n to_o which_o the_o same_o mean_n may_v not_o be_v apply_v with_o all_o desirable_a success_n and_o from_o hence_o i_o shall_v take_v occasion_n to_o reflect_v upon_o one_o common_a miscarriage_n which_o be_v this_o there_o be_v few_o in_o the_o world_n who_o be_v under_o the_o state_n of_o affliction_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o their_o undoubted_a right_n to_o complain_v and_o from_o the_o colour_n of_o this_o right_n they_o insensible_o fall_v into_o several_a both_o sin_n and_o mischief_n for_o while_o they_o complain_v of_o the_o issue_n itself_o they_o impeach_v providence_n and_o become_v irreligious_a while_o they_o complain_v against_o immediate_a cause_n and_o instrument_n they_o nurse_v uncharitableness_n and_o inflame_v themselves_o to_o revenge_n while_o they_o indulge_v this_o humour_n of_o complain_v they_o frustrate_v the_o discipline_n of_o their_o affliction_n and_o refuse_v to_o be_v make_v better_a by_o they_o and_o last_o they_o preclude_v themselves_o from_o the_o comfort_n offer_v in_o my_o text_n because_o they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o state_n of_o mind_n to_o apply_v it_o in_o order_n to_o prevent_v this_o evil_a i_o shall_v strike_v at_o the_o root_n and_o show_v that_o all_o such_o complain_v be_v original_o unjust_a and_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v so_o we_o may_v consider_v that_o all_o the_o evil_n we_o complain_v of_o be_v either_o such_o as_o we_o bring_v upon_o ourselves_o or_o else_o such_o as_o be_v inflict_v upon_o we_o from_o without_o now_o if_o they_o be_v such_o as_o we_o bring_v upon_o ourselves_o by_o our_o own_o act_n and_o default_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v of_o these_o all_o the_o reason_n we_o have_v in_o this_o case_n be_v to_o complain_v of_o the_o cause_n that_o be_v of_o ourselves_o and_o so_o to_o correct_v the_o fault_n and_o so_o to_o prevent_v the_o evil._n but_o if_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v inflict_v from_o without_o and_o such_o as_o it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o power_n to_o prevent_v we_o have_v no_o need_n to_o complain_v of_o these_o because_o god_n offer_v we_o a_o consolation_n proportionable_a to_o the_o evil_a and_o therefore_o the_o only_a need_n we_o have_v in_o this_o case_n be_v to_o take_v hold_n of_o the_o comfort_n and_o so_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o complaint_n now_o let_v we_o look_v out_o into_o the_o complain_v world_n and_o how_o many_o shall_v we_o find_v the_o apparent_a author_n of_o those_o evil_n whereof_o they_o complain_v how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o complain_v of_o want_n and_o yet_o owe_v that_o want_n to_o their_o own_o lavishness_n or_o sloth_n how_o many_o that_o complain_v of_o disgrace_n and_o yet_o owe_v that_o disgrace_n to_o their_o own_o unworthy_a behaviour_n how_o many_o that_o complain_v of_o enemy_n and_o yet_o owe_v those_o enemy_n to_o their_o own_o pride_n or_o contention_n how_o many_o that_o complain_v of_o the_o desertion_n of_o friend_n and_o yet_o owe_v that_o desertion_n to_o their_o own_o ingratitude_n how_o many_o that_o complain_v of_o the_o undutifulness_n of_o child_n and_o yet_o owe_v that_o undutifulness_n to_o their_o own_o ill_a example_n how_o many_o that_o complain_v of_o pain_n and_o

for_o grief_n what_o remedy_n for_o affliction_n what_o recompense_n may_v a_o man_n possible_o make_v himself_o for_o the_o trouble_v he_o endure_v and_o several_a method_n have_v be_v direct_v in_o the_o case_n but_o that_o which_o please_v man_n most_o and_o therefore_o have_v be_v most_o in_o practice_n be_v to_o betake_v themselves_o to_o intemperance_n and_o sensual_a pleasure_n propose_v by_o these_o to_o make_v themselves_o amend_v for_o the_o evil_n they_o suffer_v or_o at_o least_o to_o stupefy_v and_o harden_v themselves_o against_o its_o impression_n intemperance_n never_o want_v other_o argument_n but_o this_o have_v always_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o its_o fair_a apology_n when_o use_v to_o remove_v sorrow_n from_o the_o heart_n and_o to_o make_v man_n forget_v their_o trouble_n thus_o the_o epicure_n eccles._n 2._o 23._o put_v the_o question_n what_o have_v man_n for_o the_o vexation_n of_o his_o heart_n all_o his_o day_n be_v sorrow_n and_o his_o travail_n grief_n and_o thereupon_o he_o conclude_v wherefore_o there_o be_v nothing_o better_a for_o a_o man_n than_o to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v and_o delight_v his_o sense_n and_o so_o those_o libertine_n wisd._n 2._o have_v first_o lay_v down_o their_o scheme_n to_o prove_v themselves_o whole_o material_a and_o whole_o mortal_a and_o so_o no_o better_o than_o beast_n of_o another_o shape_n they_o make_v this_o reflection_n that_o life_n be_v short_a and_o tedious_a short_a in_o time_n and_o yet_o tedious_a in_o vexation_n and_o thence_o they_o infer_v therefore_o let_v we_o enjoy_v the_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v present_a and_o let_v none_o go_v without_o his_o share_n of_o our_o voluptuousness_n i_o confess_v that_o this_o conclusion_n and_o method_n be_v less_o reproachful_a when_o consequent_a to_o such_o a_o scheme_n of_o relief_n and_o yet_o even_o then_o how_o narrow_a be_v the_o comfort_n of_o it_o how_o many_o grief_n be_v there_o that_o will_v not_o abide_v this_o remedy_n and_o how_o many_o that_o it_o can_v reach_v and_o those_o it_o do_v reach_v how_o thin_a a_o shelter_n do_v it_o afford_v they_o and_o how_o soon_o will_v the_o storm_n break_v through_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n how_o many_o be_v its_o own_o mischief_n and_o great_a oftentimes_o than_o those_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o cure_v but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n while_o we_o own_o a_o god_n what_o a_o affront_n be_v it_o to_o that_o god_n to_o stupefy_v ourselves_o against_o the_o awakning_n of_o his_o discipline_n while_o we_o own_o a_o future_a reward_n what_o a_o madness_n be_v it_o to_o overlook_v that_o reward_n and_o to_o take_v our_o consolation_n here_o in_o bar_n to_o those_o that_o be_v to_o come_v while_o we_o own_o a_o conscience_n what_o a_o violation_n and_o outrage_n be_v it_o to_o that_o awful_a faculty_n to_o flee_v to_o vice_n for_o a_o shelter_n from_o misfortune_n upon_o this_o single_a consideration_n of_o conscience_n the_o wise_a heathen_n grow_v into_o a_o abhorrence_n of_o this_o sensual_a method_n and_o set_v up_o another_o in_o opposition_n to_o it_o for_o some_o of_o their_o philosopher_n advise_v man_n to_o fortify_v themselves_o against_o affliction_n with_o this_o notion_n viz._n that_o they_o be_v not_o evil_a for_o they_o will_v not_o allow_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v evil_a that_o be_v not_o in_o a_o man_n be_v own_o power_n nor_o occasion_v by_o his_o own_o default_n their_o mean_v hereby_o be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o and_o thus_o much_o be_v certain_o true_a that_o affliction_n be_v not_o evil_a in_o comparison_n of_o sin_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o affliction_n be_v such_o evil_n as_o will_n make_v a_o man_n miserable_a if_o he_o have_v no_o other_o prospect_n than_o this_o notion_n to_o support_v himself_o withal_o and_o therefore_o i_o do_v not_o mention_v this_o notion_n of_o they_o as_o a_o competent_a mean_n of_o comfort_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o noble_a provocation_n to_o virtue_n for_o let_v we_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o if_o those_o heathen_n arrive_v to_o such_o a_o pitch_n of_o moral_a fortitude_n as_o to_o account_v calamity_n not_o evil_a in_o comparison_n of_o sin_n a_o gout_n not_o evil_a in_o comparison_n of_o a_o irregular_a appetite_n a_o prison_n not_o evil_a in_o comparison_n of_o a_o roll_a passion_n what_o confusion_n and_o reproach_n do_v this_o threaten_v to_o christian_n if_o they_o notwithstanding_o their_o profession_n of_o the_o cross_n shall_v be_v find_v to_o choose_v vice_n rather_o than_o trouble_v and_o perhaps_o to_o fear_v many_o sin_n less_o than_o they_o fear_v one_o calamity_n the_o best_a rule_n that_o humane_a wisdom_n have_v ever_o prescribe_v for_o the_o management_n of_o affliction_n be_v these_o two_o business_n and_o patience_n the_o help_n of_o business_n lie_v in_o divert_v the_o thought_n for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o can_v suspend_v our_o mind_n from_o think_v on_o that_o which_o grieve_v we_o so_o long_o we_o have_v a_o truce_n with_o our_o grief_n and_o it_o affect_v we_o very_o little_a and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o trouble_n have_v its_o full_a blow_n at_o the_o idle_a man_n because_o he_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o think_v of_o whereas_o while_o the_o mind_n be_v take_v off_o by_o its_o attention_n on_o something_o else_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o violence_n of_o that_o blow_n be_v break_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n how_o many_o trouble_n of_o life_n be_v there_o that_o be_v too_o sullen_a to_o be_v employ_v and_o too_o importunate_a to_o be_v divert_v trouble_n that_o can_v absolute_o command_v we_o to_o bear_v and_o to_o attend_v they_o in_o case_n of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n but_o patience_n and_o let_v we_o see_v what_o remedy_n there_o be_v in_o that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o patience_n to_o summon_v up_o the_o power_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o to_o fit_v we_o to_o bear_v what_o we_o can_v help_v as_o composed_o as_o we_o may_v and_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o be_v secure_v at_o least_o against_o the_o mischief_n of_o impatience_n which_o be_v always_o find_v both_o to_o increase_v the_o burden_n and_o likewise_o to_o impair_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o bearer_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n though_o patience_n be_v a_o prudent_a guard_n and_o defensative_a against_o far_a evil_n it_o be_v not_o any_o comfort_n or_o relief_n of_o the_o present_a as_o when_o a_o man_n lie_v pain_v of_o a_o break_a bone_n the_o more_o restless_a he_o be_v the_o more_o torment_n he_o create_v himself_o but_o be_v he_o never_o so_o quiet_a that_o do_v no_o way_n alleviate_v what_o he_o actual_o feel_v nor_o offer_v any_o compensation_n for_o the_o feel_n of_o it_o i_o speak_v not_o now_o of_o patience_n as_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a grace_n as_o it_o be_v a_o dutiful_a submission_n of_o our_o will_n to_o the_o discipline_n of_o god_n and_o so_o the_o parent_n of_o hope_n for_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v the_o very_a consolation_n direct_v to_o in_o the_o text_n but_o i_o speak_v of_o patience_n as_o it_o be_v simple_o a_o method_n of_o humane_a wisdom_n to_o bear_v quiet_o that_o which_o we_o can_v help_v in_o which_o sense_n it_o neither_o carry_v any_o such_o virtue_n in_o it_o nor_o can_v it_o find_v any_o such_o consolation_n and_o therefore_o they_o that_o be_v true_o wise_a among_o the_o heathen_a have_v well_o consider_v this_o state_n of_o thing_n that_o the_o affliction_n and_o trouble_n of_o life_n be_v numerous_a and_o that_o they_o fall_v indiscriminate_o upon_o good_a man_n as_o well_o as_o bad_a and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o proportionable_a compensation_n to_o be_v meet_v with_o in_o this_o world_n from_o this_o very_a foundation_n they_o raise_v their_o
