christ_n so_o say_v he_o 1_o cor._n 15.32_o i_o protest_v by_o your_o rejoice_v which_o i_o have_v in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n i_o die_v daily_o he_o be_v so_o acquaint_v with_o death_n that_o he_o make_v it_o his_o daily_a practice_n to_o put_v himself_o into_o a_o frame_n and_o posture_n to_o die_v and_o so_o many_o a_o christian_n have_v get_v such_o acquaintance_n with_o death_n by_o sickness_n that_o he_o live_v in_o a_o continual_a frame_n and_o readiness_n to_o die_v beside_o his_o sickness_n make_v he_o less_o fearful_a of_o man_n for_o he_o know_v 12.4_o when_o they_o have_v kill_v the_o body_n they_o have_v no_o more_o that_o they_o can_v do_v they_o have_v do_v their_o worst_a which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o ordinary_a disease_n can_v do_v and_o therefore_o as_o the_o philosopher_n tell_v the_o tyrant_n when_o he_o threaten_v to_o kill_v he_o that_o a_o fly_n can_v do_v that_o so_o believer_n need_v not_o fear_v what_o man_n can_v do_v because_o they_o can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o a_o fever_n dropsy_n consumption_n or_o any_o other_o disease_n can_v do_v and_o thus_o he_o be_v prepare_v by_o sickness_n for_o other_o affliction_n end_v 16._o to_o prepare_v they_o for_o great_a mercy_n belove_a sometime_o mercy_n be_v more_o dangerous_a for_o god_n people_n than_o affliction_n they_o be_v often_o worse_o in_o plenty_n then_o in_o poverty_n in_o credit_n then_o in_o disgrace_n more_o secure_a in_o health_n and_o ease_n then_o in_o pain_n and_o sickness_n this_o happen_v when_o our_o mercy_n be_v too_o big_a for_o our_o grace_n as_o when_o we_o have_v great_a credit_n and_o little_a humility_n or_o else_o when_o our_o outward_a mercy_n do_v most_o feed_v our_o inward_a corruption_n as_o when_o riches_n do_v meet_v with_o a_o heart_n much_o incline_v to_o covetousness_n and_o health_n and_o ease_n be_v give_v to_o a_o christian_n who_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v idle_a and_o secure_a now_o therefore_o god_n melt_v his_o people_n in_o the_o furnace_n of_o affliction_n to_o prepare_v they_o to_o be_v vessel_n of_o mercy_n hence_o we_o read_v hebr._n 12.11_o that_o no_o chasten_v for_o the_o present_a seem_v to_o be_v joyous_a but_o grievous_a nevertheless_o afterward_o it_o yield_v the_o peaceable_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n unto_o they_o which_o be_v exercise_v thereby_o as_o whilst_o a_o child_n be_v under_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o rod_n he_o receive_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o dulness_n and_o idleness_n in_o the_o smart_a of_o the_o rod_n but_o afterward_o he_o receive_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o learning_n and_o education_n in_o honour_n and_o preferment_n so_o whilst_o god_n child_n be_v correct_v with_o sickness_n and_o other_o affliction_n they_o receive_v the_o bitter_a fruit_n of_o their_o sin_n of_o their_o pride_n frowardness_n security_n and_o creature-confidence_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o be_v not_o for_o the_o present_a joyous_a but_o grievous_a but_o afterward_o they_o reap_v the_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n of_o faith_n fear_n love_n prayer_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o be_v sweet_a and_o peaceable_a fruit_n we_o have_v a_o pertinent_a proof_n of_o this_o psal_n 126.5_o 6._o they_o that_o sow_v in_o tear_n shall_v reap_v in_o joy_n he_o that_o go_v forth_o and_o weep_v bear_v precious_a seed_n shall_v doubtless_o come_v again_o with_o rejoice_v bring_v his_o sheaf_n with_o he_o as_o the_o husbandman_n in_o a_o year_n of_o famine_n when_o corn_n be_v dear_a and_o seed_n scarce_o he_o sow_v he_o venture_v it_o in_o the_o ground_n but_o he_o sow_v in_o tear_n he_o go_v out_o with_o his_o seed_n weep_v ah_o think_v he_o this_o corn_n will_v have_v make_v so_o much_o bread_n for_o my_o poor_a wife_n and_o child_n or_o will_v have_v give_v so_o much_o money_n towards_o pay_v my_o rent_n thus_o with_o a_o sad_a heart_n he_o sow_v his_o seed_n but_o when_o harvest_n come_v and_o bring_v forth_o a_o plentiful_a crop_n than_o he_o reap_v in_o joy_n and_o bring_v home_o his_o sheaf_n with_o sing_v shout_a and_o rejoice_v thus_o it_o be_v with_o god_n child_n in_o affliction_n as_o suppose_v in_o sickness_n his_o grief_n be_v great_a and_o his_o pain_n grievous_a yet_o he_o sow_v though_o it_o be_v in_o sorrow_n he_o believe_v in_o tear_n and_o hope_n in_o tear_n and_o pray_v in_o tear_n well_o after_o come_v the_o harvest_n of_o health_n and_o he_o reap_v the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n hope_n and_o prayer_n and_o he_o go_v about_o rejoice_v and_o praise_v god_n and_o carry_v his_o sheaf_n of_o mercy_n and_o comfort_v about_o with_o he_o our_o saviour_n speak_v full_o to_o this_o case_n joh._n 16.20_o 21._o you_o shall_v be_v sorrowful_a but_o your_o sorrow_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o joy_n a_o woman_n

to_o resist_v or_o remove_v these_o because_o the_o irresistible_a arm_n and_o power_n of_o god_n work_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o he_o may_v cry_v in_o his_o sickness_n help_v friend_n help_v
