what_o nature_n or_o kind_n so_o ever_o it_o be_v no_o doubt_n the_o intent_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o speak_v of_o this_o latter_a and_o to_o show_v that_o all_o affliction_n do_v not_o only_o not_o

infer_v upon_o the_o former_a word_n he_o seem_v therein_o to_o answer_v a_o secret_a objection_n which_o may_v arise_v in_o man_n mind_n from_o thence_o namely_o that_o it_o seem_v many_o time_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o hear_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o afflict_a because_o their_o affliction_n be_v not_o only_o not_o remoove_v according_a to_o their_o prayer_n but_o sometime_o increase_v contrary_a to_o their_o earnest_a desire_n therefore_o we_o must_v remember_v what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v touch_v this_o matter_n nam_o how_o the_o lord_n in_o grant_v our_o request_n look_v

in_o a_o burn_a fever_n shall_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o fit_n impatient_o desire_v to_o be_v wash_v with_o cold_a water_n and_o then_o the_o skilful_a physician_n stand_v by_o be_v his_o

which_o be_v that_o he_o may_v have_v some_o thing_n give_v he_o that_o may_v do_v he_o most_o good_a though_o now_o be_v distemper_v he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o it_o but_o do_v mistake_v one_o thing_n for_o a_o other_o and_o think_v that_o to_o be_v best_a as_o to_o be_v plunge_v into_o the_o cold_a water_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o worst_a so_o we_o whatsoever_o we_o ask_v in_o
