person_n find_v themselves_o make_v for_o high_a object_n than_o what_o this_o world_n present_v and_o have_v a_o consciousness_n of_o their_o own_o eternity_n nothing_o can_v effectual_o compose_v

the_o notion_n of_o the_o philosopher_n and_o sentence_n of_o the_o moralist_n signify_v little_a death_n can_v never_o be_v vanquish_v by_o such_o weak_a charm_n but_o will_v be_v still_o too_o hard_o for_o their_o principle_n too_o strong_a for_o their_o resolution_n they_o must_v sorrow_n even_o as_o those_o that_o have_v no_o hope_n so_o that_o the_o best_a of_o they_o pass_v off_o the_o

for_o beside_o the_o help_n and_o consideration_n he_o have_v in_o common_a with_o the_o philosopher_n which_o he_o may_v serve_v himself_o of_o when_o he_o please_v his_o religion_n offer_v he_o such_o support_v as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o repress_v all_o inordinate_a passion_n and_o compose_v our_o mind_n into_o a_o steady_a frame_n it_o assure_v we_o of_o the_o reality_n of_o a_o divine_a providence_n in_o the_o managery_n of_o thing_n here_o below_o that_o whatever_o affliction_n loss_n or_o calamity_n befall_v we_o be_v so_o order_v by_o a_o overrule_a providence_n this_o be_v a_o truth_n which_o the_o gentile_a world_n either_o absolute_o deny_v or_o however_o be_v not_o so_o well_o satisfy_v in_o as_o to_o make_v any_o true_a use_v of_o their_o adversity_n or_o to_o be_v patient_n under_o they_o but_o now_o we_o know_v that_o affliction_n spring_v not_o out_o of_o the_o dust_n nor_o trouble_v out_o of_o the_o ground_n that_o nothing_o fall_v upon_o we_o without_o

therefore_o the_o thought_n of_o this_o must_v needs_o render_v we_o more_o calm_a and_o sedate_v at_o such_o time_n than_o those_o who_o can_v spy_v out_o nothing_o of_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o
