proceed_v now_o in_o the_o 2d_o place_n to_o show_v how_o this_o can_v consist_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n providence_n a_o seem_a contradiction_n to_o this_o be_v the_o main_a objection_n

at_o last_o reject_v and_o suffer_v the_o effect_n of_o his_o heavy_a displeasure_n i_o say_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o this_o instance_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n acknowledge_v it_o above_o

justice_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o all_o his_o proceed_n and_o though_o we_o can_v understand_v how_o they_o can_v consist_v with_o those_o perfection_n yet_o we_o ought_v firm_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v righteous_a in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o holy_a in_o all_o his_o work_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o so_o great_a a_o difficulty_n as_o to_o puzzle_v the_o reason_n of_o

2._o these_o calamity_n of_o good_a man_n be_v consistant_fw-la with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n providence_n because_o by_o the_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o that_o providence_n they_o receive_v benefit_n and_o advantage_n from_o they_o which_o david_n acknowledge_v say_v it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o that_o i_o have_v be_v afflict_v it_o will_v take_v up_o too_o much_o time_n to_o show_v the_o

heart_n and_o affection_n be_v more_o firm_o set_v upon_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o thereby_o their_o suffering_n yield_v the_o peaceable_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n so_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v their_o title_n to_o the_o eternal_a happiness_n of_o heaven_n be_v strengthen_v and_o confirm_v and_o this_o be_v not_o all_o they_o be_v hereby_o qualify_v and_o prepare_v for_o

and_o tempest_n and_o that_o rest_v which_o remain_v for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n will_v be_v receive_v with_o a_o peculiar_a joy_n and_o satisfaction_n by_o those_o who_o have_v be_v toss_v upon_o the_o wave_n of_o a_o tempestuous_a and_o unquiet_a world_n and_o the_o peace_n and_o love_n the_o harmony_n and_o concord_n which_o the_o glorious_a martyr_n of_o this_o day_n enjoy_v with_o the_o

of_o this_o day_n bring_v more_o glory_n to_o god_n by_o his_o incomparable_a patience_n humility_n and_o constancy_n than_o other_o prince_n who_o be_v bless_v with_o victory_n and_o triumph_n over_o

a_o afflict_a life_n a_o unjust_a and_o a_o bloody_a death_n to_o this_o blissful_a state_n they_o have_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o complain_v of_o injustice_n or_o severity_n in_o god_n than_o the_o
