refuge_n and_o shelter_n that_o be_v our_o hope_n make_v we_o sly_a to_o he_o for_o shelter_n i_o so_o do_v many_o and_o find_v small_a comfort_n miserable_a comforter_n as_o job_n find_v his_o

be_v common_a to_o godly_a and_o wicked_a man_n and_o that_o the_o godly_a may_v die_v under_o the_o pressure_n thereof_o death_n be_v the_o period_n and_o closure_n of_o this_o life_n mat._n 10._o

nevertheless_o god_n be_v our_o help_n in_o and_o out_o of_o they_o all_o answ_n 2_o a_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o to_o uphold_v the_o harmony_n of_o these_o two_o truth_n and_o to_o contain_v each_o of_o they_o within_o its_o bound_n we_o must_v give_v a_o double_a distinction_n the_o former_a between_o temporal_a trouble_n respect_v our_o natural_a life_n and_o spiritual_a trouble_n respect_v our_o supernatural_a life_n the_o latter_a distinction_n be_v between_o the_o matter_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o both_o these_o kind_n of_o trouble_n the_o matter_n be_v the_o kind_n of_o trouble_n which_o we_o suffer_v as_o sickness_n hunger_n thirst_n nakedness_n death_n satan_n tentation_n etc._n etc._n the_o manner_n be_v god_n respect_n unto_o man_n trouble_v and_o man_n respect_n

point_n in_o a_o four_o fold_v conclusion_n first_o conclus_fw-la 1_o that_o however_o temporal_a trouble_n be_v for_o matter_n alike_o both_o to_o godly_a and_o wicked_a yet_o for_o manner_n they_o be_v sanctify_v to_o the_o godly_a and_o not_o to_o the_o wicked_a the_o godly_a own_o god_n the_o author_n thereof_o justify_v god_n providence_n therein_o arm_n themselves_o to_o bear_v they_o as_o

this_o make_v they_o more_o and_o more_o to_o hope_v in_o and_o fly_v to_o god_n for_o help_v and_o from_o hence_o they_o learn_v with_o david_n to_o say_v psal_n 119._o 67._o before_o i_o be_v

good_a a_o second_o conclusion_n be_v that_o the_o spiritual_a trouble_n of_o sin_n however_o it_o seem_v alike_o in_o godly_a and_o wicked_a for_o matter_n yet_o for_o manner_n it_o differ_v very_o

yea_o and_o with_o conflict_n in_o the_o act_v they_o they_o be_v captive_v to_o they_o not_o willing_o serve_v they_o they_o be_v not_o reign_v sin_n in_o they_o and_o therefore_o not_o unto_o

consist_v of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n 17._o gal._n 5._o 17._o which_o as_o contrary_n be_v in_o continual_a combat_n hence_o the_o godly_a can_v total_o or_o final_o sink_v under_o sin_n because_o

be_v shrewd_o buffet_v by_o satan_n for_o trial_n and_o chastisement_n yet_o in_o as_o much_o as_o despair_n be_v a_o grievous_a sin_n it_o can_v total_o or_o final_o prevail_v over_o they_o but_o they_o shall_v recover_v and_o god_n grace_n shall_v be_v sufficient_a for_o they_o the_o four_o and_o last_o conclusion_n be_v that_o however_o it_o be_v with_o
