of_o that_o consolation_n wherewith_o god_n comfort_n we_o for_o as_o the_o tribulation_n of_o christ_n abound_v in_o we_o so_o through_o christ_n see_v our_o consolation_n be_v alsoe_o abundant_a these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n 11_o 2_o cor._n 11_o three_o time_n he_o be_v scourge_v with_o rod_n five_o time_n with_o whip_n and_o once_o he_o be_v stone_v in_o

this_o not_o in_o any_o small_a number_n of_o time_n but_o as_o himself_o say_v elsewhere_o we_o be_v ever_o even_o draw_v to_o death_n for_o the_o love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o so_o his_o

do_v he_o afflict_v himself_o otherwise_o as_o be_v use_v by_o they_o who_o love_v their_o honour_n and_o their_o case_n nor_o do_v he_o importune_v god_n to_o remove_v they_o from_o he_o like_o such_o as_o know_v not_o the_o value_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o desire_v not_o such_o company_n as_o that_o nor_o do_v he_o esteem_v they_o as_o some_o sleight_n and_o little_a favour_n as_o they_o do_v who_o love_v not_o to_o suffer_v much_o but_o leave_v all_o ignorance_n and_o weakness_n far_o behind_o he_o he_o praise_v our_o lord_n in_o they_o and_o give_v thanks_n for_o they_o as_o for_o a_o extraordinary_a blessing_n esteem_v himself_o happy_a to_o suffer_v somewhat_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o he_o who_o suffer_v so_o great_a dishonour_n that_o so_o he_o may_v draw_v we_o out_o of_o
