of_o salvation_n and_o saint_n peter_n speak_v to_o jesus_n christ_n thy_o word_n be_v word_n of_o eternal_a life_n if_o god_n the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n do_v assure_v we_o that_o the_o word_n

insomuch_o only_o that_o from_o a_o good_a maxim_n they_o draw_v a_o bad_a conclusion_n for_o indeed_o the_o good_a in_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o god_n be_v that_o be_v to_o say_v sovereign_a and_o

that_o in_o he_o as_o say_v s._n james_n 1._o psal_n 102._o jam._n 1._o there_o be_v no_o mutability_n nor_o shadow_n of_o change_v as_o his_o goodness_n be_v eternal_a also_o at_o all_o time_n it_o

complain_v of_o the_o great_a calamity_n which_o have_v befall_v they_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o they_o and_o that_o as_o for_o he_o he_o have_v only_o procure_v their_o

as_o the_o fire_n produce_v fire_n and_o all_o other_o thing_n produce_v or_o bring_v forth_o their_o like_a so_o do_v god_n from_o who_o no_o evil_a can_v come_v yea_o but_o sickness_n famine_n

to_o the_o one_o to_o punish_v their_o sin_n which_o be_v a_o just_a &_o laudable_a act_n to_o the_o other_o to_o exercise_v their_o virtue_n or_o to_o draw_v and_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o if_o we_o will_v be_v good_a husband_n and_o appropriate_v our_o sickness_n well_o and_o refer_v it_o to_o the_o end_n for_o the_o which_o god_n send_v they_o unto_o we_o we_o may_v gather_v much_o fruit_n and_o many_o good_a lesson_n by_o it_o in_o the_o first_o place_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v so_o necessary_a as_o to_o know_v our_o sin_n and_o the_o vice_n and_o corruption_n which_o be_v in_o we_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o to_o god_n and_o to_o dispose_v ourselves_o to_o require_v and_o seek_v after_o his_o grace_n which_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n by_o the_o which_o
