that_o fruit_n or_o commodity_n which_o god_n child_n reap_v by_o all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n good_a the_o good_a of_o good_a as_o the_o benefit_n of_o health_n and_o wealth_n peace_n and_o

and_o strengthen_v in_o his_o soul_n to_o conversion_n and_o salvation_n the_o evil_a of_o good_a be_v that_o hurt_n and_o detriment_n which_o the_o wicked_a reap_v by_o all_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n aforesaid_a good_a the_o evil_a of_o good_a as_o that_o not_o only_o their_o life_n health_n peace_n liberty_n wealth_n and_o prosperity_n in_o the_o world_n but_o also_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o

by_o their_o meat_n and_o cure_v by_o their_o physic_n and_o instruct_v and_o reproove_v by_o the_o word_n etc._n etc._n yet_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a poison_n therewithal_o infuse_v into_o their_o soul_n which_o shall_v another_o day_n in_o god_n appoint_a time_n burst_v out_o to_o their_o utter_a overthrow_n the_o good_a of_o evil_n be_v that_o good_a which_o the_o lord_n as_o a_o skilful_a physician_n gather_v from_o the_o affliction_n and_o sin_n of_o his_o child_n as_o it_o be_v a_o purgation_n out_o of_o poison_n evil_n the_o good_a of_o evil_n for_o god_n can_v and_o do_v expel_v one_o sin_n with_o another_o and_o many_o sin_n with_o affliction_n as_o a_o father_n correct_v and_o amend_v the_o fault_n of_o his_o child_n by_o correction_n the_o evil_a of_o evil_n be_v that_o damage_n which_o the_o wicked_a sustain_v by_o fall_v into_o sin_n evil_n the_o evil_a of_o evil_n and_o the_o punishment_n thereby_o deserve_v which_o be_v that_o thereby_o their_o damnation_n be_v

of_o sin_n second_o by_o free_v we_o from_o judgement_n due_a to_o sin_n three_o by_o free_v we_o from_o the_o â—urt_n of_o sin_n and_o affliction_n four_o by_o turn_v all_o those_o sin_n which_o we_o

the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n the_o curse_n of_o god_n mean_v to_o drive_v we_o to_o impatiency_n 30.9_o prou._n 30.9_o or_o to_o take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a so_o agur_n pray_v against_o poverty_n which_o be_v one_o kind_n of_o affliction_n here_o before_o we_o proceed_v any_o further_a two_o question_n or_o doubt_n must_v be_v discuss_v and_o resolve_v and_o that_o joint_o each_o depend_v of_o other_o 1_o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v for_o a_o temptation_n or_o a_o cross_n 2_o how_o far_o forth_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o pray_v for_o or_o against_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n it_o may_v seem_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n affliction_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o how_o far_o forth_o to_o pray_v for_o or_o against_o tentation_n and_o affliction_n that_o see_v the_o end_n of_o temptation_n be_v to_o provoke_v we_o to_o sin_n and_o the_o end_n of_o affliction_n be_v to_o destroy_v the_o creature_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o pray_v for_o they_o again_o it_o may_v in_o like_a manner_n be_v think_v that_o see_v through_o temptation_n god_n work_v much_o good_a unto_o we_o and_o that_o through_o affliction_n god_n teach_v we_o and_o nurter_v we_o in_o his_o law_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o lawful_a to_o pray_v for_o a_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n there_o be_v a_o triple_a solution_n of_o this_o doubt_n some_o say_v thus_o 1_o that_o see_v temptation_n and_o affliction_n be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n the_o mean_n and_o punishment_n of_o sin_n therefore_o in_o no_o case_n we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o they_o but_o against_o they_o for_o god_n forbid_v we_o to_o practice_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o consequent_o he_o will_v we_o to_o pray_v against_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o sin_n as_o temptation_n be_v and_o see_v affliction_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o first_o institution_n be_v god_n plague_n upon_o sinner_n we_o be_v to_o avoid_v they_o by_o all_o mean_v possible_a
