thou_o thou_o have_v be_v under_o his_o afflict_a hand_n it_o may_v be_v divers_a year_n and_o yet_o thou_o remain_v discontent_n still_o it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v bear_v thy_o

beyond_o the_o bound_n of_o it_o true_o thou_o may_v know_v it_o by_o this_o do_v the_o sense_n of_o thy_o affliction_n take_v away_o the_o sense_n of_o thy_o mercy_n if_o it_o do_v than_o it_o go_v

be_v heavy_a upon_o i_o and_o it_o be_v that_o that_o trouble_v i_o more_o than_o my_o affliction_n deceive_v not_o thy_o own_o heart_n there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a deceit_n in_o this_o there_o be_v many_o people_n that_o when_o god_n hand_n be_v out_o against_o they_o they_o will_v say_v they_o be_v trouble_v for_o their_o sin_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v the_o affliction_n that_o

this_o affliction_n come_v but_o you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v true_a i_o be_v not_o before_o for_o my_o prosperity_n blind_v i_o but_o now_o god_n have_v open_v my_o eye_n by_o affliction_n have_v he_o so_o second_o then_o thy_o great_a care_n will_v be_v rather_o for_o the_o remove_n of_o thy_o sin_n than_o thy_o affliction_n be_v thou_o more_o solicitous_a about_o the_o take_v away_o thy_o

there_o be_v no_o more_o trouble_n for_o their_o sin_n oh_o many_o do_v bely_v themselves_o in_o this_o in_o say_v that_o they_o be_v so_o trouble_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o especial_o those_o that_o

case_n as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o dangerous_a sickness_n upon_o he_o and_o the_o physician_n tell_v he_o there_o be_v no_o way_n but_o by_o take_v such_o strong_a physic_n or_o by_o cut_v off_o a_o leg_n or_o a_o limb_n now_o he_o come_v and_o plead_v i_o will_v not_o so_o distrust_n god_n and_o be_v so_o impatient_a of_o my_o present_a pain_n as_o to_o take_v such_o a_o course_n to_o help_v
