force_v to_o withdraw_v himself_o they_o likewise_o withdraw_v their_o loyalty_n this_o show_v that_o time_n of_o affliction_n be_v time_n of_o trial_n by_o which_o god_n prove_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o love_n to_o he_o and_o our_o zeal_n for_o he_o and_o by_o which_o we_o also_o may_v come_v to_o know_v the_o deceitfulness_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n which_o be_v also_o the_o design_n of_o god_n in_o our_o affliction_n as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n testify_v 2_o chron._n xxxii_o 31._o where_o speak_v of_o hezekiah_n we_o have_v these_o word_n howbeit_o in_o the_o business_n of_o the_o

hezekiah_n may_v know_v all_o that_o be_v in_o his_o heart_n 6_o another_o benefit_n that_o we_o receive_v by_o affliction_n be_v that_o they_o make_v we_o run_v to_o god_n fullness_n and_o prosperity_n oft_o make_v we_o forget_v god_n and_o run_v away_o from_o he_o but_o affliction_n general_o drive_v we_o to_o he_o and_o indeed_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o reclaim_v we_o this_o the_o prophet_n hosea_n tell_v we_o where_o god_n speak_v of_o his_o people_n that_o have_v go_v away_o from_o he_o and_o follow_v idol_n threaten_v to_o bring_v affliction_n upon_o they_o i_o will_v be_v as_o a_o lion_n and_o as_o a_o young_a lion_n to_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n i_o will_v tear_v and_o go_v away_o i_o will_v take_v away_o and_o none_o shall_v rescue_v will_v you_o know_v god_n design_n herein_o i_o will_v go_v say_v he_o and_o return_v to_o my_o place_n till_o they_o acknowledge_v their_o offence_n and_o seek_v my_o face_n but_o when_o will_v that_o be_v o_o ses_fw-fr god_n in_o their_o affliction_n they_o will_v seek_v i_o early_o when_o we_o be_v walk_v abroad_o in_o the_o field_n and_o the_o wether_n be_v good_a we_o be_v not_o solicitous_a about_o a_o place_n of_o shelter_n but_o if_o a_o storm_n arise_v and_o a_o shower_n come_v than_o we_o look_v out_o for_o a_o shelter_n and_o make_v haste_n unto_o it_o god_n be_v call_v in_o the_o scripture_n a_o covert_a from_o the_o storm_n and_o from_o the_o rain_n isa._n four_o 6._o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o tempest_n of_o god_n wrath_n arise_v and_o the_o storm_n of_o his_o anger_n be_v pour_v upon_o the_o world_n whither_o shall_v we_o run_v for_o safety_n but_o to_o he_o who_o be_v a_o covert_a from_o the_o storm_n and_o from_o the_o rain_n at_o such_o time_n especial_o we_o run_v to_o god_n as_o to_o our_o great_a assylum_fw-la and_o refuge_n know_v that_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n we_o shall_v be_v safe_a thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n with_o the_o israelite_n a_o stiff-necked_a generation_n continual_o provoke_v god_n by_o their_o unbelief_n and_o this_o they_o do_v to_o that_o degree_n that_o god_n often_o send_v his_o judgement_n among_o they_o by_o which_o many_o of_o they_o be_v destroy_v and_o these_o affliction_n make_v they_o seek_v after_o and_o run_v to_o god_n for_o so_o the_o psalmist_n tell_v psal._n lxxviii_o 34._o when_o he_o slay_v they_o than_o they_o seek_v he_o and_o they_o return_v and_o inquire_v early_o after_o god_n and_o though_o the_o psalmist_n tell_v we_o that_o they_o do_v but_o flatter_v he_o with_o their_o mouth_n and_o lie_v unto_o he_o with_o their_o tongue_n and_o that_o their_o heart_n be_v not_o right_a with_o he_o neither_o be_v they_o steadfast_a in_o his_o covenant_n yet_o this_o run_v of_o they_o to_o he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o affliction_n do_v so_o far_o prevail_v with_o god_n that_o he_o be_v full_a of_o compassion_n destroy_v they_o not_o but_o turn_v his_o anger_n away_o and_o do_v not_o stir_v up_o all_o his_o wrath._n and_o david_n himself_o frequent_o profess_v that_o god_n be_v his_o refuge_n in_o time_n of_o trouble_n whereto_o he_o do_v continual_o resort_v so_o that_o this_o be_v certain_o a_o great_a advantage_n that_o we_o gain_v by_o affliction_n that_o they_o drive_v we_o to_o god_n to_o who_o we_o fly_v for_o refuge_n and_o where_o we_o find_v security_n 7._o there_o be_v also_o this_o advantage_n in_o affliction_n that_o by_o mean_n of_o they_o we_o come_v to_o live_v in_o the_o daily_a exercise_n of_o all_o virtue_n which_o without_o affliction_n we_o can_v not_o do_v this_o st._n paul_n affirm_v rom._n v._n 3._o we_o glory_v in_o tribulation_n also_o know_v that_o tribulation_n work_v patience_n and_o patience_n experience_n and_o experience_n hope_v and_o hope_n make_v not_o ashamed_a this_o be_v the_o natural_a consequence_n of_o affliction_n for_o than_o we_o live_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n by_o believe_v god_n promise_v that_o all_o thing_n shall_v work_v together_o for_o our_o good_a and_o rely_v upon_o he_o for_o our_o deliverance_n we_o live_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o hope_n by_o a_o assure_a expectation_n of_o the_o reward_n promise_v to_o they_o that_o suffer_v and_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o charity_n by_o have_v our_o heart_n inflame_v with_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n who_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o whereby_o we_o be_v make_v willing_a to_o offer_v up_o ourselves_o a_o free-will-offering_a to_o he_o both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n our_o patience_n be_v exercise_v in_o suffer_v the_o will_n of_o

8._o another_o advantage_n that_o we_o reap_v by_o affliction_n which_o be_v the_o last_o i_o shall_v mention_v because_o i_o affect_v brevity_n be_v that_o when_o they_o have_v bring_v forth_o in_o
