not_o perceive_v and_o feel_v he_o act_v the_o part_n of_o a_o pure_a man_n it_o be_v true_o and_o overmuch_o a_o humane_a voice_n proceed_v from_o humane_a affection_n so_o to_o complain_v why_o god_n shall_v forsake_v he_o and_o why_o he_o shall_v suffer_v wicked_a man_n to_o do_v so_o much_o so_o david_n i_o be_v envious_a at_o the_o foolish_a when_o i_o see_v the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o wicked_a psalm_n 73._o and_o jeremiah_n why_o do_v the_o way_n of_o the_o wicked_a prosper_v jer._n 12._o and_o habbakuk_n why_o do_v thou_o show_v i_o iniquity_n and_o cause_v i_o to_o behold_v

cheerful_a body_n shall_v rise_v out_o of_o the_o sepulchre_n so_o than_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v gird_v with_o great_a gladness_n so_o he_o be_v also_o composs_v with_o

so_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v too_o loud_a for_o our_o mind_n and_o heart_n to_o endure_v and_o too_o heavy_a for_o our_o humane_a strength_n to_o undergo_v and_o therefore_o it_o force_v a_o
