to_o expectation_n when_o we_o look_v for_o light_n but_o behold_v darkness_n for_o peace_n but_o behold_v trouble_n for_o heal_v but_o lo_o a_o breach_n for_o ease_v and_o behold_v a_o burden_n when_o we_o have_v say_v of_o such_o a_o thing_n sure_o it_o shall_v comfort_v we_o concern_v our_o sorrow_n and_o when_o it_o have_v be_v produce_v it_o have_v be_v either_o a_o rod_n to_o beat_v

common_a principle_n but_o from_o lose_v and_o miss_v our_o expectation_n therefore_o david_n pray_v psal_n 119.116_o that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v ashamed_a of_o his_o hope_n this_o the_o godly_a meet_v with_o at_o every_o turn_n many_o time_n child_n other_o relation_n calling_n do_v not_o answer_v our_o expectation_n all_o thing_n go_v cross_a with_o he_o in_o this_o case_n consider_v 1._o there_o be_v certain_a royalty_n in_o divine_a providence_n with_o which_o we_o may_v not_o meddle_v we_o must_v submit_v to_o god_n for_o as_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o action_n why_o they_o be_v so_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o cessation_n of_o act_n as_o god_n have_v the_o high_a reason_n for_o what_o he_o do_v so_o he_o have_v good_a reason_n why_o he_o do_v not_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n or_o why_o he_o do_v invert_v or_o stop_v such_o a_o thing_n 2._o how_o cross_n soever_o the_o event_n of_o providence_n be_v they_o be_v always_o found_v upon_o unerring_a wisdom_n and_o unspotted_a goodness_n god_n know_v well_o enough_o what_o he_o do_v he_o work_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o own_o will_n eph._n 1.11_o for_o as_o in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n the_o foot_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o direct_v it_o and_o in_o the_o soul_n the_o will_n of_o man_n have_v the_o light_n of_o the_o understanding_n to_o go_v before_o it_o so_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o conceive_v of_o he_o that_o the_o light_n of_o advise_v wisdom_n be_v with_o he_o in_o all_o he_o will_v or_o work_n in_o all_o our_o desire_n therefore_o we_o must_v put_v they_o up_o with_o a_o reservation_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o how_o cross_a soever_o thing_n fall_v out_o to_o our_o hope_n yet_o remember_v what_o god_n work_v be_v better_a than_o what_o we_o pray_v for_o we_o may_v err_v in_o our_o prayer_n but_o god_n never_o mistake_v in_o what_o he_o do_v 3._o cross_a event_n in_o providence_n be_v many_o time_n the_o punishment_n of_o some_o sin_n in_o we_o either_o it_o be_v for_o our_o untimely_a desire_n of_o thing_n or_o our_o inordinate_a desire_n or_o the_o neglect_n of_o some_o duty_n require_v as_o preparatory_a to_o make_v such_o a_o thing_n come_v as_o a_o blessing_n 4._o cross_a event_n many_o time_n come_v from_o divine_a love_n a_o father_n will_v not_o let_v the_o child_n have_v a_o knife_n or_o climb_v up_o in_o some_o

thereby_o be_v render_v more_o uncapable_a of_o serve_v he_o we_o shall_v be_v prone_a to_o terminate_v in_o the_o creature_n we_o shall_v contract_v more_o fall_n and_o bruise_n consider_v then_o
