trouble_n and_o yet_o unless_o we_o repent_v we_o shall_v never_o see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n nor_o the_o glory_n thereof_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v these_o two_o reason_n 1_o first_o because_o all_o the_o suffering_n of_o this_o life_n be_v but_o the_o beginning_n of_o sorrow_n they_o be_v not_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o that_o vengeance_n which_o the_o lord_n will_v pour_v upon_o

conversion_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o trouble_n second_o reason_n 2_o because_o the_o trouble_n of_o this_o life_n be_v common_a both_o to_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o godly_a this_o the_o prophet_n ezechiel_n witness_v thou_o shall_v be_v break_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o uncircumcised_a 32.38_o ezek._n 32.38_o and_o shall_v lie_v with_o they_o which_o be_v slay_v with_o the_o

of_o the_o other_o worse_o because_o he_o die_v as_o a_o evil_a man_n die_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o fire_n gold_n glister_v and_o dross_n smoke_v so_o by_o tribulation_n good_a man_n become_v

to_o obey_v the_o exhortation_n of_o the_o prophet_n in_o scripture_n turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n thy_o blood_n can_v pacify_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n whereas_o tear_n of_o repentance_n

increase_n and_o continuance_n of_o god_n judgement_n upon_o thou_o for_o the_o lord_n will_v never_o remove_v his_o judgement_n until_o we_o forsake_v our_o sin_n because_o we_o do_v not_o turn_v
