of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v the_o lord_n by_o our_o affliction_n derive_v much_o good_a unto_o we_o use_v they_o as_o effectual_a mean_n to_o preserve_v we_o from_o condemnation_n and_o to_o further_a our_o eternal_a glory_n and_o happiness_n both_o by_o assure_v we_o of_o these_o joy_n they_o serve_v as_o sign_n of_o our_o adoption_n and_o salvation_n and_o by_o fit_v and_o prepare_v we_o by_o they_o for_o his_o heavenly_a kingdom_n by_o make_v they_o to_o serve_v as_o a_o way_n to_o bring_v we_o thither_o &_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o wander_v in_o the_o broad_a way_n that_o lead_v to_o destruction_n yea_o he_o make_v they_o to_o serve_v as_o mean_n to_o increase_v our_o glory_n and_o heavenly_a joy_n see_v according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o affliction_n he_o give_v unto_o we_o a_o answerable_a measure_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v they_o &_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o grace_n he_o proportion_v our_o glory_n and_o future_a happiness_n §._o sect._n 6_o that_o this_o world_n be_v a_o place_n destinate_a to_o affliction_n and_o trial_n from_o the_o subject_a place_n of_o our_o affliction_n also_o we_o may_v

therefore_o we_o must_v look_v for_o pilgrim_n entertainment_n for_o a_o place_n not_o of_o triumph_n but_o of_o warfare_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v expect_v conflict_n and_o the_o hard_a usage_n of_o poor_a soldier_n again_o we_o may_v comfort_v ourselves_o by_o consider_v the_o adjunct_n of_o our_o affliction_n as_o their_o necessity_n for_o we_o be_v preordain_v unto_o they_o as_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o effect_v the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o struggle_v with_o they_o see_v thereby_o we_o may_v gall_n our_o neck_n but_o

which_o they_o shall_v cause_v unto_o us._n final_o we_o may_v be_v comfort_v by_o consider_v the_o fellowship_n &_o assistance_n which_o we_o have_v in_o all_o our_o affliction_n for_o we_o have_v more_o with_o we_o than_o be_v against_o we_o as_o innumerable_a number_n of_o holy_a angel_n which_o pitch_v their_o tent_n about_o we_o &_o watch_v over_o we_o to_o keep_v we_o safe_a in_o all_o

with_o the_o other_o §._o sect._n 7_o that_o all_o the_o faithful_a have_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o like_a or_o great_a affliction_n with_o us._n and_o these_o be_v the_o comfort_n which_o arise_v out_o of_o a_o simple_a consideration_n of_o our_o affliction_n beside_o which_o there_o be_v other_o which_o may_v be_v raise_v by_o compare_v our_o lesser_a affliction_n with_o those_o great_a which_o other_o have_v &_o shall_v suffer_v for_o as_o the_o scripture_n foretell_v these_o affliction_n of_o the_o faithful_a so_o they_o show_v that_o it_o have_v always_o be_v their_o portion_n to_o bear_v they_o yea_o look_v for_o the_o most_o part_n how_o much_o they_o have_v excel_v in_o god_n grace_n and_o so_o much_o they_o have_v exceed_v in_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o affliction_n as_o we_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o example_n of_o adam_n abel_n abraham_n isaac_n jacob_n moses_n job_n david_n paul_n and_o many_o other_o but_o especial_o we_o may_v comfort_v ourselves_o in_o our_o great_a affliction_n by_o consider_v how_o light_a and_o small_a they_o be_v in_o comparison_n of_o those_o grievous_a punishment_n which_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n love_n do_v suffer_v for_o we_o both_o in_o his_o life_n and_o death_n all_o which_o he_o suffer_v be_v just_a &_o innocent_a for_o our_o sin_n leave_v we_o a_o example_n who_o be_v his_o member_n to_o follow_v his_o step_n in_o the_o same_o way_n that_o lead_v to_o happiness_n see_v god_n have_v preordain_v those_o to_o be_v like_o christ_n in_o his_o suffering_n who_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o he_o in_o glory_n final_o we_o may_v comfort_v ourselves_o by_o compare_v our_o affliction_n with_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o wicked_a from_o which_o christ_n have_v free_v we_o see_v they_o be_v intolerable_a but_o we_o light_n &_o easy_a they_o everlasting_a but_o we_o short_a and_o momentany_a notwithstanding_o that_o our_o own_o conscience_n will_v tell_v we_o that_o our_o sin_n both_o in_o their_o quantity_n and_o quality_n number_n and_o weight_n have_v much_o exceed_v many_o of_o they_o and_o last_o by_o compare_v they_o with_o our_o future_a joy_n and_o heavenly_a happiness_n in_o which_o

omnipotent_a power_n and_o all_o sufficiency_n whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o effect_v it_o when_o he_o please_v by_o consider_v also_o that_o god_n usual_o defer_v to_o help_v those_o who_o he_o
