affliction_n or_o adversity_n be_v benefiicall_a because_o it_o make_v man_n not_o only_o to_o esteem_v of_o but_o use_v prosperity_n better_o like_a physic_n and_o fast_v it_o cleanse_v the_o

the_o foulness_n of_o his_o stomach_n and_o a_o mind_n overcome_v with_o lust_n and_o ill_a humour_n his_o food_n to_o turn_n to_o choler_n his_o happiness_n to_o bitterness_n and_o misery_n and_o his_o blessing_n into_o curse_n nothing_o better_o for_o such_o a_o stomach_n then_o as_o the_o prophet_n word_n be_v however_o it_o be_v displease_v to_o the_o palate_n for_o such_o thing_n be_v common_o wholsome_a to_o be_v feed_v a_o while_n with_o the_o wormwood_n of_o affliction_n and_o to_o have_v the_o water_n of_o gall_n to_o drink_v 10._o affliction_n be_v beneficial_a because_o they_o be_v good_a both_o to_o make_v a_o man_n have_v a_o low_a esteem_n of_o himself_o for_o his_o weakness_n that_o he_o can_v not_o help_v himself_o in_o his_o adversity_n and_o to_o make_v he_o

it_o be_v the_o easy_a for_o my_o soul_n to_o be_v as_o a_o wean_a child_n 11._o affliction_n be_v beneficial_a because_o when_o they_o have_v make_v we_o see_v our_o own_o weakness_n and_o
