just_a o_o my_o soul_n thou_o be_v happy_a the_o heathen_a man_n can_v tell_v we_o that_o affliction_n they_o be_v tributa_fw-la vivendi_fw-la the_o tribute_n of_o the_o live_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v they_o manlike_o and_o resolve_o and_o not_o as_o those_o whine_a soldier_n do_v qui_fw-la gemente_n sequuntur_fw-la imperatorem_fw-la but_o rather_o embrace_v they_o as_o those_o virgin_n in_o eusebius_n do_v their_o martyrdom_n run_v thereunto_o tanquam_fw-la ad_fw-la nuptias_fw-la as_o if_o they_o be_v to_o meet_v their_o bridegroom_n for_o the_o godly_a be_v purge_v indeed_o but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v make_v the_o better_a be_v gold_n the_o worse_a because_o it_o be_v refine_v or_o wheat_n because_o it_o be_v fan_v the_o light_n will_v not_o be_v so_o acceptable_a be_v it_o not_o for_o that_o usual_a intercourse_n of_o darkness_n too_o much_o honey_n do_v turn_v to_o gall_n and_o too_o much_o joy_n even_o spiritual_a may_v make_v we_o wantoness_n thou_o may_v a_o while_n be_v toss_v up_o and_o down_o in_o this_o troublesome_a world_n like_o noah_n ark_n among_o the_o water_n but_o yet_o the_o lord_n will_v at_o length_n remember_v noah_n and_o then_o all_o these_o water_n shall_v be_v abate_v the_o roman_n we_o know_v do_v never_o fight_v and_o triumph_n both_o in_o one_o place_n their_o battle_n be_v common_o fight_v in_o africa_n or_o in_o asia_n but_o their_o place_n of_o triumph_n it_o be_v in_o rome_n so_o we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o contend_v and_o receive_v a_o crown_n of_o victory_n both_o at_o once_o our_o time_n of_o suffering_n be_v here_o in_o this_o world_n our_o crown_n of_o reward_n that_o come_v hereafter_o for_o when_o our_o soul_n immortal_a shall_v be_v once_o separate_v from_o our_o mortal_a body_n and_o dispose_v of_o god_n then_o come_v beauty_n for_o ash_n oil_n of_o joy_n for_o mourning_n garment_n of_o gladness_n for_o this_o spirit_n of_o heaviness_n so_o that_o the_o contemplation_n of_o this_o future_a happiness_n must_v interpose_v itself_o betwixt_o we_o and_o our_o affliction_n and_o certain_o the_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n of_o this_o present_a life_n be_v evermore_o mingle_v and_o allay_v with_o many_o delight_n and_o comfort_n here_o we_o be_v sorrow_v as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v but_o yet_o always_o rejoice_v 2_o cor._n 6._o for_o there_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o comfort_n within_o we_o always_o help_v our_o infirmity_n if_o we_o be_v buffet_v or_o beat_v for_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n than_o this_o spirit_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v a_o honour_n to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n if_o poverty_n oppress_v we_o than_o the_o spirit_n teach_v we_o to_o be_v content_a with_o what_o we_o have_v what_o if_o benjamin_n have_v a_o double_a portion_n some_o other_o worldly_a riches_n more_o than_o i_o perhaps_o it_o be_v all_o the_o portion_n these_o man_n can_v hope_v for_o to_o inherit_v what_o if_o i_o be_v make_v here_o on_o earth_n one_o of_o the_o less_o

of_o the_o body_n and_o perhaps_o god_n will_v recompense_v this_o present_a want_n of_o i_o hereafter_o with_o more_o abundant_a honour_n if_o the_o death_n of_o some_o dear_a friend_n the_o loss_n of_o thy_o office_n or_o estate_n or_o any_o such_o thing_n be_v thy_o affliction_n why_o the_o spirit_n be_v able_a to_o teach_v and_o instruct_v thou_o that_o all_o thing_n we_o enjoy_v in_o this_o present_a life_n they_o be_v but_o lend_v we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v account_v of_o they_o all_o but_o as_o thing_n borrow_v from_o some_o friend_n or_o neighbour_n who_o may_v call_v for_o they_o back_o again_o at_o their_o pleasure_n neither_o must_v it_o trouble_v we_o what_o instrument_n be_v use_v for_o the_o fetch_n home_o of_o these_o earthly_a commodity_n whether_o fire_n or_o water_n thief_n or_o sickness_n no_o more_o than_o if_o thy_o neighbour_n who_o have_v lend_v thou_o a_o see_v or_o a_o hatchet_n or_o any_o other_o household_n thing_n shall_v appoint_v some_o foolish_a or_o dishonest_a servant_n to_o bring_v it_o home_o again_o and_o to_o re-mand_a it_o let_v we_o learn_v then_o in_o all_o dutiful_a obedience_n to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o god_n good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n for_o though_o our_o trouble_n be_v great_a and_o many_o yet_o i_o have_v a_o assure_a confidence_n that_o god_n will_v never_o suffer_v his_o strength_n and_o spirit_n utter_o to_o forsake_v we_o or_o give_v we_o altogether_o over_o to_o the_o rage_n and_o madness_n of_o those_o that_o hate_v we_o for_o this_o be_v god_n constant_a method_n of_o proceed_v he_o do_v either_o protect_v and_o keep_v the_o righteous_a out_o of_o all_o calamity_n or_o else_o if_o they_o fall_v upon_o he_o he_o conduct_v he_o safe_a through_o they_o and_o permit_v they_o not_o to_o be_v misery_n he_o either_o give_v he_o honour_n and_o promotion_n and_o wealth_n or_o else_o more_o benefit_n by_o want_v of_o they_o then_o if_o he_o have_v they_o all_o at_o his_o own_o will_n and_o

ungodly_a let_v we_o not_o then_o with_o the_o ungrateful_a israelite_n murmur_n against_o god_n for_o any_o affliction_n send_v unto_o we_o for_o god_n know_v whereof_o thou_o be_v make_v he_o see_v how_o thy_o nature_n stand_v incline_v if_o thou_o shall_v always_o hear_v the_o sweet_a tune_n of_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n as_o it_o be_v the_o melody_n of_o nebuchadnezar_n instrument_n perhaps_o thou_o will_v present_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v this_o babylonish_n idol_n the_o prophet_n david_n be_v even_o at_o the_o point_n of_o clean_o forget_v himself_o and_o so_o stray_v from_o his_o right_a mind_n but_o that_o thy_o rod_n say_v he_o have_v be_v my_o supporter_n and_o the_o holy_a apostle_n saint_n paul_n if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v the_o corrasive_n of_o sharp_a and_o bitter_a stroke_n his_o heart_n will_v have_v go_v near_o to_o have_v swell_v with_o that_o great_a abundance_n of_o heavenly_a revelation_n for_o we_o be_v prone_a by_o nature_n to_o forget_v ourselves_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n of_o some_o buffet_n of_o satan_n to_o make_v we_o reflect_v upon_o our_o own_o weakness_n the_o child_n of_o israel_n whilst_o they_o live_v in_o prosperity_n at_o home_n will_v neither_o hearken_v nor_o obey_v but_o be_v in_o banishment_n and_o under_o captivity_n then_o whilst_o they_o sit_v by_o the_o water_n of_o babylon_n they_o can_v weep_v to_o remember_v thou_o o_o zion_n for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o affliction_n how_o short_a soever_o but_o do_v more_o true_o inform_v a_o man_n understanding_n in_o a_o day_n than_o all_o the_o grave_a speech_n and_o subtle_a disputation_n of_o the_o philosopher_n in_o a_o year_n then_o we_o begin_v to_o remember_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v but_o man_n then_o we_o admire_v no_o man_n and_o despise_v no_o man_n see_v by_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o own_o frailty_n that_o no_o man_n be_v so_o secure_v of_o his_o riches_n his_o honour_n his_o life_n or_o his_o possession_n but_o that_o he_o may_v be_v deprive_v of_o these_o or_o any_o of_o these_o the_o very_a next_o day_n or_o hour_n to_o come_v for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o height_n or_o

great_a empire_n and_o kingdom_n we_o see_v by_o woeful_a experience_n be_v as_o easy_o disturb_v as_o the_o state_n of_o petty_a prince_n for_o those_o who_o be_v advance_v to_o the_o high_a pitch_n of_o honour_n i_o can_v better_o compare_v then_o to_o the_o first_o letter_n of_o a_o patent_n or_o limb_v book_n which_o we_o know_v have_v great_a and_o large_a flourish_n yet_o still_o it_o be_v but_o a_o letter_n so_o those_o kind_n of_o man_n they_o may_v have_v large_a flourish_n high_a and_o swell_a title_n great_a honour_n and_o preferment_n yet_o still_o they_o be_v but_o man_n mortal_a man_n incident_a to_o every_o disgrace_n grief_n and_o infirmity_n as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v affliction_n be_v the_o only_a sovereign_a mean_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o right_a

of_o stage-play_a where_o there_o must_v be_v actor_n
