this_o god_n ordinary_a course_n be_v that_o his_o people_n in_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o afflict_a condition_n god_n have_v reveal_v in_o his_o word_n &_o we_o may_v there_o find_v he_o have_v set_v it_o down_o to_o be_v his_o ordinary_a way_n even_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o this_o day_n but_o more_o especial_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o his_o people_n here_o shall_v be_v in_o a_o afflict_a condition_n now_o man_n that_o do_v not_o understand_v this_o they_o stand_v and_o wonder_n to_o hear_v of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v afflict_v and_o the_o enemy_n prosper_v in_o their_o way_n for_o those_o that_o seek_v god_n in_o his_o way_n and_o seek_v for_o reformation_n for_o they_o to_o be_v afflict_v rout_v and_o spoil_v and_o then_o enemy_n to_o prevail_v they_o wonder_v at_o it_o but_o now_o one_o that_o be_v in_o the_o school_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v teach_v by_o jesus_n christ_n that_o god_n by_o his_o eternal_a counsel_n have_v set_v this_o to_o be_v his_o course_n &_o way_n to_o bring_v up_o his_o people_n in_o this_o world_n in_o a_o afflict_a condition_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n account_v it_o not_o strange_a concern_v the_o fiery_a trial_n 1_o pet._n 4._o 12._o we_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v discontent_v with_o it_o see_v god_n have_v set_v such_o a_o course_n and_o way_n and_o we_o know_v such_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o the_o second_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o god_n way_n be_v this_o usual_o when_o god_n intend_v the_o great_a mercy_n to_o any_o of_o his_o people_n he_o do_v bring_v they_o into_o the_o low_a condition_n god_n do_v seem_v to_o go_v quite_o cross_a and_o work_v in_o a_o contrary_a way_n when_o he_o intend_v the_o great_a mercy_n to_o his_o people_n he_o do_v first_o usual_o bring_v they_o into_o very_o low_a condition_n if_o it_o be_v a_o bodily_a mercy_n a_o outward_a mercy_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o bestow_v he_o use_v to_o bring_v they_o bodily_a low_a and_o outward_o low_a if_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n in_o their_o estate_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o bestow_v he_o bring_v they_o low_o in_o that_o and_o then_o raise_v they_o and_o in_o their_o name_n he_o bring_v they_o low_o there_o and_o then_o raise_v they_o and_o in_o their_o spirit_n god_n do_v ordinary_o bring_v their_o spirit_n low_a and_o then_o raise_v their_o spirit_n usual_o the_o people_n of_o god_n before_o the_o great_a comfort_n have_v the_o great_a affliction_n and_o sorrow_n now_o those_o that_o understand_v not_o god_n way_n they_o think_v that_o when_o god_n bring_v his_o people_n into_o sad_a condition_n that_o god_n leave_v and_o forsake_v they_o and_o that_o god_n do_v intend_v no_o great_a matter_n of_o good_a to_o they_o but_o now_o a_o child_n of_o god_n that_o be_v instruct_v in_o this_o way_n of_o god_n he_o be_v not_o trouble_v my_o condition_n be_v very_o low_a but_o say_v he_o this_o be_v god_n way_n when_o he_o intend_v the_o great_a mercy_n to_o bring_v man_n under_o the_o great_a affliction_n when_o he_o intend_v to_o raise_v joseph_n to_o be_v the_o second_o in_o the_o kingdom_n god_n cast_v he_o into_o a_o dungeon_n a_o little_a before_o so_o when_o god_n intend_v to_o raise_v david_n and_o set_v he_o upon_o the_o throne_n he_o make_v he_o to_o be_v hunt_v as_o a_o partridge_n in_o the_o mountain_n 1_o sam._n 26._o 20_o god_n go_v this_o way_n with_o his_o son_n christ_n himself_o go_v into_o glory_n by_o suffer_v heb._n 2._o 10_o and_o if_o god_n deal_v so_o with_o his_o own_o son_n much_o more_o with_o his_o people_n as_o a_o little_a before_o break_v of_o day_n you_o shall_v observe_v it_o be_v dark_a than_o it_o be_v any_o time_n before_o so_o god_n do_v use_v to_o make_v our_o condition_n darker_n a_o little_a before_o the_o mercy_n come_v when_o god_n bestow_v the_o last_o great_a mercy_n at_o nazby_n we_o be_v in_o a_o very_a low_a condition_n god_n know_v what_o he_o have_v to_o do_v before_o hand_n he_o know_v that_o his_o time_n be_v come_v for_o great_a mercy_n it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o do_v so_o be_v but_o instruct_v aright_o in_o this_o course_n and_o tract_n that_o god_n use_v to_o walk_v in_o and_o that_o will_v help_v we_o to_o contentment_n exceed_o the_o three_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n way_n and_o course_n be_v this_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o work_v by_o contrary_n to_o turn_v the_o great_a evil_n into_o the_o great_a good_a to_o grant_v great_a good_a after_o great_a evil_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o to_o turn_v great_a evil_n into_o the_o great_a good_a that_o be_v another_o and_o yet_o that_o be_v god_n way_n the_o great_a good_a that_o god_n intend_v for_o his_o people_n many_o time_n he_o work_v it_o out_o of_o the_o great_a evil_n the_o great_a light_n be_v bring_v out_o of_o the_o great_a darkness_n and_o luther_n i_o remember_v have_v a_o notable_a expression_n for_o this_o say_v he_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n he_o do_v humble_a that_o he_o may_v exalt_v he_o do_v kill_v that_o he_o may_v make_v alive_a he_o do_v confound_v that_o he_o may_v glorify_v this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n say_v he_o but_o say_v he_o every_o one_o do_v not_o understand_v this_o this_o be_v the_o art_n of_o art_n and_o the_o science_n of_o science_n the_o knowledge_n of_o knowledge_n to_o understand_v this_o that_o god_n do_v use_v when_o he_o will_v bring_v life_n he_o do_v bring_v it_o out_o of_o death_n he_o bring_v joy_n out_o of_o sorrow_n and_o he_o bring_v prosperity_n out_o of_o adversity_n yea_o and_o many_o time_n bring_v grace_n out_o of_o sin_n that_o be_v make_v use_n of_o sin_n to_o work_v furtherance_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o bring_v all_o good_a out_o of_o evil_a not_o only_o to_o overcome_v the_o evil_a but_o to_o make_v the_o evil_a to_o work_v towards_o the_o good_a here_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n now_o when_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o understand_v this_o it_o will_v take_v away_o our_o murmur_v and_o bring_v contentment_n into_o our_o spirit_n but_o i_o fear_v there_o be_v but_o few_o that_o understand_v it_o aright_o perhaps_o they_o read_v of_o such_o thing_n &_o hear_v such_o thing_n in_o a_o sermon_n but_o they_o be_v not_o by_o jesus_n christ_n instruct_v in_o this_o that_o this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o bring_v the_o great_a good_a out_o of_o the_o great_a evil_n now_o thus_o have_v dispatch_v the_o three_o head_n the_o lesson_n that_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v we_o come_v to_o the_o four_o and_o that_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o this_o grace_n of_o contentment_n and_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o excellency_n in_o contentment_n that_o be_v a_o kind_a of_o lesson_n too_o for_o we_o to_o learn_v and_o this_o head_n likewise_o will_v be_v somewhat_o long_o say_v the_o apostle_n i_o have_v learn_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v bless_a be_v god_n for_o this_o oh_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o i_o that_o i_o have_v learn_v this_o lesson_n i_o find_v so_o much_o good_a in_o this_o contentment_n that_o i_o will_v not_o for_o a_o world_n but_o have_v it_o i_o have_v learn_v it_o say_v he_o now_o the_o very_a heathen_n have_v a_o sight_n of_o a_o great_a excellency_n that_o there_o be_v in_o contentment_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v read_v of_o antistines_n a_o philosopher_n that_o desire_v of_o his_o god_n speak_v after_o the_o heathenish_a way_n nothing_o in_o this_o world_n to_o make_v his_o life_n happy_a but_o contentment_n and_o if_o he_o may_v have_v any_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v desire_v to_o make_v his_o life_n happy_a he_o will_v ask_v of_o they_o that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o spirit_n of_o socrates_n that_o he_o may_v have_v such_o a_o spirit_n as_o socrates_n have_v to_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v any_o wrong_n any_o injury_n that_o he_o meet_v withal_o and_o to_o continue_v in_o a_o quiet_a temper_n of_o spirit_n whatsoever_o befall_v he_o for_o that_o be_v the_o temper_n of_o socrates_n what_o ever_o befall_v he_o he_o continue_v the_o same_o man_n whatever_o cross_n befall_v he_o no_o body_n can_v perceive_v any_o alteration_n of_o his_o spirit_n though_o never_o so_o great_a cross_n do_v befall_v he_o this_o a_o heathen_a do_v attain_v to_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n and_o a_o common_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n now_o this_o antistines_n see_v such_o a_o excellency_n in_o this_o spirit_n as_o when_o god_n say_v to_o solomon_n what_o shall_v i_o give_v thou_o he_o ask_v of_o god_n wisdom_n so_o say_v he_o if_o the_o god_n shall_v
