world_n let_v we_o as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v endeavour_v the_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o let_v we_o strive_v to_o receive_v what_o good_a we_o can_v from_o they_o for_o we_o know_v not_o how_o speedy_o death_n may_v make_v a_o separation_n between_o we_o and_o they_o three_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o when_o we_o enjoy_v any_o outward_a comfort_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v continual_o expect_v and_o prepare_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o they_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o we_o shall_v always_o enjoy_v they_o but_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o fade_v and_o uncertain_a let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o wean_v ourselves_o from_o they_o to_o use_v they_o as_o if_o we_o use_v they_o not_o in_o this_o respect_n let_v those_o who_o have_v wife_n and_o child_n be_v as_o if_o they_o

more_o easy_o shall_v we_o part_v with_o they_o jacob_n can_v better_v part_n with_o his_o ten_o other_o son_n into_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n than_o with_o his_o benjamin_n that_o almost_o bring_v his_o grey_a hair_n with_o sorrow_n to_o the_o grave_a no_o wonder_n if_o we_o immoderate_o grieve_v for_o those_o thing_n when_o absent_a which_o we_o immoderate_o love_v when_o present_a by_o die_v daily_o to_o they_o let_v we_o prepare_v to_o follow_v they_o to_o their_o grave_n four_o i_o infer_v how_o unreasonable_a it_o be_v for_o we_o to_o be_v surprise_v when_o any_o of_o our_o outward_a comfort_n be_v remove_v from_o we_o these_o fiery_a trial_n shall_v not_o be_v think_v strange_a of_o by_o we_o for_o no_o strange_a thing_n have_v happen_v to_o we_o if_o we_o think_v they_o durable_a we_o be_v mistake_v about_o they_o and_o if_o we_o think_v they_o uncertain_a and_o vanish_v why_o shall_v we_o be_v surprise_v when_o they_o disappear_v it_o be_v a_o excellent_a say_n of_o a_o heathen_a when_o one_o tell_v he_o of_o his_o son_n death_n sciebam_fw-la i_o genuisse_fw-la mortales_fw-la i_o know_v that_o i_o beget_v mortal_n o_o parent_n do_v not_o you_o know_v that_o

this_o point_n but_o shall_v present_v you_o with_o some_o inference_n from_o it_o first_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o when_o we_o be_v threaten_v with_o the_o privation_n of_o any_o of_o our_o outward_a comfort_n it_o be_v our_o wise_a and_o safe_a way_n to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o god_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o they_o we_o may_v allowable_o pray_v for_o and_o deprecate_v the_o removal_n of_o our_o temporal_a enjoyment_n provide_v we_o do_v it_o with_o modesty_n and_o humility_n with_o these_o necessary_a limitation_n if_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o will_n if_o it_o may_v be_v for_o his_o glory_n and_o our_o good_a to_o

bestow_v they_o upon_o we_o or_o continue_v they_o with_o we_o though_o we_o may_v make_v use_n of_o all_o lawful_a mean_n to_o obtain_v and_o preserve_v temporal_a good_a thing_n yet_o we_o must_v not_o forget_v to_o apply_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n who_o blessing_n alone_o can_v render_v they_o effectual_a physician_n will_v be_v of_o no_o value_n for_o the_o recovery_n of_o our_o languish_a relation_n unless_o god_n send_v forth_o his_o word_n and_o heal_v they_o second_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o they_o deserve_v to_o be_v reprove_v who_o when_o they_o have_v sustain_v any_o loss_n reflect_v upon_o perplex_v themselves_o about_o and_o ascribe_v those_o loss_n sole_o or_o principal_o to_o second_v cause_n we_o be_v very_o prone_a in_o such_o case_n to_o blame_v instrument_n instead_o of_o eye_v the_o providence_n of_o the_o principal_a efficient_a to_o resolve_v all_o troublesome_a event_n into_o the_o malignity_n of_o second_o cause_n this_o part_n of_o practical_a atheism_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v guilty_a of_o tho'_o common_a observation_n may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o confute_v it_o the_o same_o second_o cause_n which_o produce_v such_o a_o effect_n at_o one_o time_n or_o in_o one_o person_n shall_v not_o produce_v the_o like_a at_o another_o time_n or_o upon_o another_o person_n why_o shall_v we_o ascribe_v the_o death_n of_o our_o relation_n principal_o to_o the_o malignity_n of_o the_o distemper_n wherewith_o they_o be_v seize_v when_o we_o see_v other_o survive_v the_o same_o distemper_n when_o attend_v with_o the_o same_o dangerous_a circumstance_n three_o i_o infer_v that_o when_o any_o of_o our_o outward_a comfort_n be_v take_v away_o from_o we_o we_o shall_v diligent_o inquire_v into_o the_o end_n and_o design_n of_o that_o separation_n which_o have_v be_v make_v between_o we_o and_o they_o though_o the_o end_n of_o humane_a act_n be_v not_o always_o worthy_a of_o our_o search_n and_o enquiry_n yet_o the_o end_n of_o divine_a act_n be_v always_o so_o god_n have_v noble_a and_o excellent_a end_n in_o all_o his_o operation_n let_v we_o therefore_o at_o such_o a_o time_n address_v ourselves_o to_o god_n in_o the_o word_n of_o holy_a job_n 10._o ch_z 2._o v._n show_v i_o wherefore_o thou_o contend_v with_o i_o four_o i_o infer_v the_o folly_n of_o those_o who_o put_v their_o trust_n and_o place_v their_o
