and_o thither_o they_o direct_v their_o voyage_n now_o there_o may_v come_v many_o a_o contrary_a storm_n that_o may_v turn_v they_o clean_o back_o or_o drive_v they_o quite_o another_o way_n which_o for_o the_o present_n be_v a_o great_a trouble_n and_o grief_n unto_o they_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o storm_n be_v over_o and_o the_o sea_n be_v calm_a they_o hale_v and_o toil_v and_o never_o be_v at_o rest_n till_o they_o have_v recover_v themselves_o and_o be_v get_v into_o the_o right_a way_n again_o so_o fare_v it_o with_o a_o christian_a soul_n such_o a_o one_o be_v bind_v for_o heaven_n that_o be_v his_o home_n that_o be_v his_o harbour_n that_o be_v the_o heaven_n where_o he_o will_v be_v now_o there_o may_v come_v and_o daily_o there_o do_v come_v many_o a_o cross_n many_o a_o corruption_n many_o a_o please_a or_o unpleasing_a temptation_n that_o turn_v he_o clean_o another_o way_n into_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n or_o turn_v he_o clean_a back_n from_o the_o way_n of_o grace_n and_o goodness_n which_o for_o the_o present_a like_o the_o division_n of_o reuben_n judg._n 5._o must_v needs_o cause_v great_a sigh_n and_o thought_n of_o heart_n and_o indeed_o he_o be_v never_o at_o quiet_a in_o his_o mind_n nor_o at_o peace_n in_o his_o conscience_n till_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n he_o have_v recover_v himself_o by_o repentance_n and_o come_v back_o to_o his_o old_a comfort_n and_o conversation_n again_o so_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o look_v to_o heaven_n at_o some_o particular_a time_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o sickness_n of_o sorrow_n of_o extreme_a adversity_n as_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o world_n be_v for_o then_o the_o wicked_a man_n that_o be_v

if_o you_o desire_v to_o have_v comfort_n from_o heaven_n in_o your_o sickness_n let_v your_o conversation_n be_v there_o in_o your_o health_n and_o that_o not_o for_o a_o fit_a or_o a_o brunt_n but_o
