since_o god_n have_v provide_v such_o joy_n for_o our_o soul_n in_o the_o other_o state_n o_o that_o he_o will_v quicken_v our_o desire_n and_o help_v our_o endeavour_n to_o prepare_v ourselves_o for_o they_o see_v he_o have_v be_v please_v to_o choose_v our_o body_n for_o temple_n for_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o dwell_v in_o o_o that_o he_o will_v free_v they_o from_o all_o malice_n and_o

to_o the_o will_n of_o his_o merciful_a father_n they_o therefore_o who_o will_v bear_v trouble_n well_o must_v live_v in_o a_o constant_a expectation_n of_o they_o and_o in_o their_o good_a day_n lay_v up_o a_o stock_n of_o christian_a grace_n against_o the_o winter_n of_o adversity_n they_o i_o say_v who_o in_o the_o height_n of_o their_o prosperity_n will_v often_o and_o serious_o reflect_v upon_o the_o great_a change_n that_o either_o by_o loss_n and_o pain_n or_o certain_o by_o death_n in_o a_o short_a time_n will_v overtake_v they_o and_o provide_v themselves_o with_o the_o suffering-virtue_n against_o that_o dark_a season_n will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v their_o spirit_n sink_v at_o the_o approach_n either_o of_o affliction_n or_o death_n itself_o that_o it_o will_v raise_v they_o above_o the_o world_n and_o mount_v and_o carry_v their_o heart_n and_o affection_n to_o god_n who_o be_v the_o centre_n of_o all_o sound_a peace_n and_o solid_a joy_n how_o happy_a be_v those_o soul_n who_o when_o the_o world_n most_o smile_n upon_o they_o do_v not_o trust_v it_o but_o furnish_v themselves_o with_o the_o humility_n and_o the_o meekness_n and_o the_o patience_n of_o jesus_n against_o the_o evil_a day_n that_o as_o no_o sickness_n or_o trouble_n can_v much_o surprise_v they_o so_o neither_o can_v it_o great_o or_o long_o discompose_v their_o mind_n but_o they_o discern_v the_o finger_n of_o god_n in_o it_o and_o turn_v it_o to_o their_o spiritual_a advantage_n and_o they_o therefore_o count_v it_o joy_n when_o they_o fall_v into_o temptation_n i_o e._n suffer_v affliction_n for_o they_o be_v assure_v that_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o what_o they_o be_v able_a if_o they_o be_v trouble_v on_o every_o side_n yet_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v distress_v if_o they_o be_v perplex_v they_o shall_v not_o despair_v if_o they_o be_v persecute_v they_o shall_v not_o be_v forsake_v if_o cast_v down_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v destroy_v sermon_n ii_o iii_o that_o if_o we_o equal_o consider_v thing_n we_o shall_v be_v constrain_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n goodness_n and_o mercy_n do_v appear_v in_o our_o great_a suffering_n and_o this_o will_v be_v evident_a from_o the_o follow_a reason_n 1._o because_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o the_o supreme_a lord_n and_o owner_n of_o the_o world_n who_o alone_o have_v the_o right_a of_o all_o we_o shall_v find_v ourselves_o to_o be_v but_o tenant_n at_o will_n for_o every_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v and_o if_o god_n have_v give_v we_o nothing_o but_o during_o pleasure_n then_o let_v he_o take_v it_o away_o when_o he_o please_v he_o can_v do_v we_o no_o wrong_n our_o life_n that_o make_v we_o capable_a of_o his_o other_o favour_n our_o health_n which_o make_v life_n comfortable_a our_o relation_n our_o estate_n our_o ease_n and_o peace_n be_v all_o the_o free_a gift_n of_o the_o bounty_n of_o he_o who_o have_v not_o the_o least_o obligation_n to_o we_o and_o if_o he_o revoke_v they_o all_o or_o any_o of_o they_o we_o receive_v no_o injury_n for_o he_o do_v but_o resume_v his_o own_o right_n insomuch_o as_o if_o god_n strip_v we_o of_o all_o down_o to_o nothing_o he_o will_v but_o leave_v we_o in_o the_o state_n he_o find_v we_o wherefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o charge_v he_o with_o unkindness_n for_o any_o temporal_a evil_n that_o we_o must_v own_v it_o be_v his_o singular_a goodness_n we_o have_v be_v permit_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o so_o many_o of_o his_o blessing_n such_o a_o long_a time_n 2._o we_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o our_o trouble_n and_o loss_n when_o we_o consider_v he_o as_o the_o great_a judge_n of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o examine_v the_o condition_n upon_o which_o he_o be_v please_v to_o grant_v the_o use_n of_o his_o creature_n unto_o they_o and_o the_o punishment_n he_o have_v threaten_v to_o inflict_v upon_o the_o disobedient_a upon_o this_o examination_n it_o will_v be_v plain_a to_o the_o great_a sufferer_n that_o god_n have_v be_v merciful_a in_o that_o they_o in_o many_o particular_n have_v break_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o be_v make_v between_o he_o and_o they_o and_o he_o have_v not_o take_v the_o whole_a forfeiture_n there_o be_v no_o breach_n of_o god_n law_n in_o any_o great_a instance_n make_v cool_o and_o deliberate_o but_o it_o do_v deserve_v not_o only_o a_o temporal_a punishment_n but_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n shall_v god_n deal_v with_o we_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o strict_a justice_n now_o when_o he_o who_o if_o he_o proceed_v strict_o against_o we_o may_v pass_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o we_o and_o shut_v we_o out_o of_o his_o presence_n for_o ever_o do_v but_o gentle_o correct_v we_o with_o such_o chastisement_n as_o be_v proper_a to_o reform_v our_o fault_n and_o cause_v we_o to_o grieve_v we_o have_v offend_v our_o best_a friend_n what_o can_v we_o do_v but_o admire_v his_o goodness_n and_o magnify_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n towards_o we_o if_o god_n do_v not_o let_v sinner_n who_o have_v live_v a_o great_a while_n secure_o in_o their_o iniquity_n at_o length_n feel_v the_o weight_n of_o his_o justice_n they_o will_v lay_v aside_o all_o fear_n of_o his_o power_n and_o fall_v into_o ruin_n beyond_o a_o possibility_n of_o be_v recover_v but_o yet_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o plentiful_a mixture_n of_o mercy_n in_o the_o punishment_n which_o god_n first_o inflict_v upon_o the_o great_a sinner_n and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o proceed_v to_o high_a degree_n of_o severity_n until_o their_o heart_n be_v so_o hard_o that_o light_a affliction_n will_v make_v no_o impression_n upon_o they_o wherefore_o when_o very_o bad_a man_n be_v bring_v to_o repentance_n by_o a_o terrible_a judgement_n they_o discern_v god_n goodness_n in_o nothing_o more_o than_o the_o terror_n which_o attend_v the_o judgement_n wherewith_o he_o correct_v they_o because_o they_o be_v sensible_a it_o will_v not_o have_v reclaim_v they_o from_o their_o wicked_a course_n have_v it_o be_v of_o a_o mild_a sort_n god_n then_o temper_v judgement_n with_o mercy_n that_o as_o the_o contemplation_n of_o the_o one_o may_v preserve_v in_o man_n mind_n a_o awful_a regard_n of_o his_o majesty_n so_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o other_o may_v keep_v they_o from_o run_v into_o despair_n where_o sinner_n be_v become_v bold_a more_o of_o his_o justice_n be_v requisite_a to_o make_v they_o dread_v his_o displeasure_n and_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o infirmity_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a where_o such_o a_o tenderness_n be_v find_v in_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n that_o they_o be_v extreme_a fearful_a of_o their_o condition_n notwithstanding_o to_o the_o best_a of_o their_o ability_n they_o sincere_o endeavour_v to_o serve_v he_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o put_v any_o unnecessary_a hardship_n upon_o they_o that_o he_o let_v forth_o the_o treasure_n of_o his_o compassion_n upon_o their_o disturb_a soul_n do_v scatter_v their_o groundless_a fear_n and_o refresh_v and_o cherish_v they_o with_o his_o mercy_n there_o be_v no_o want_n of_o proof_n to_o convince_v man_n that_o as_o all_o the_o temporal_a evil_n they_o suffer_v be_v less_o than_o in_o rigour_n of_o justice_n god_n may_v lay_v upon_o they_o so_o they_o never_o overtake_v they_o before_o they_o be_v necessary_a either_o to_o make_v they_o reflect_v upon_o the_o error_n of_o their_o own_o way_n or_o to_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o other_o in_o a_o bad_a course_n the_o servant_n of_o god_n who_o have_v be_v renown_v for_o their_o piety_n and_o who_o holy_a deed_n and_o glorious_a suffering_n in_o the_o cause_n of_o religion_n have_v be_v record_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o imitation_n of_o the_o follower_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o support_n of_o all_o afflict_a saint_n these_o eminent_a instrument_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o say_v have_v ever_o be_v so_o sensible_a of_o their_o own_o frailty_n as_o to_o dread_v the_o divine_a justice_n they_o never_o do_v presume_v to_o insist_v upon_o their_o own_o righteousness_n when_o they_o come_v before_o god_n as_o if_o they_o have_v live_v with_o such_o exactness_n according_a to_o his_o law_n that_o he_o can_v not_o afflict_v they_o without_o be_v injurious_a they_o be_v not_o such_o stranger_n to_o themselves_o as_o not_o to_o be_v conscious_a that_o in_o a_o great_a number_n of_o respect_n their_o
