forasmuch_o as_o such_o naked_a assertion_n upon_o conjecture_n and_o appearance_n without_o far_a warrant_n of_o god_n word_n may_v seem_v inauthentic_a and_o to_o make_v no_o faith_n therefore_o the_o premise_n be_v authorise_v by_o divers_a testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n whereby_o the_o certitude_n of_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v be_v confirm_v thereafter_o it_o be_v

and_o be_v content_a with_o faith_n full_a abraham_n to_o abide_v here_o a_o while_n upon_o this_o earth_n as_o in_o a_o strange_a country_n ever_o look_v as_o he_o do_v for_o a_o city_n have_v a_o

love_a brother_n of_o all_o christ_n little_a flock_n a._n h._n of_o the_o felicity_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v we_o see_v that_o according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o the_o psalmist_n the_o misery_n be_v many_o 34.19_o which_o righteous_a man_n do_v suffer_v in_o this_o life_n as_o poverty_n sickness_n ignominy_n imprison_a banishment_n grief_n of_o mind_n and_o death_n of_o the_o body_n and_o these_o misery_n they_o not_o only_o suffer_v perforce_o as_o send_v by_o god_n who_o mighty_a hand_n no_o flesh_n be_v able_a to_o resist_v but_o voluntary_o they_o incur_v the_o misery_n &_o trouble_n which_o they_o may_v eschew_v &_o all_o for_o profess_v of_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o embrace_v of_o his_o true_a worship_v and_o service_n which_o if_o they_o will_v forsake_v &_o deny_v they_o may_v be_v free_a from_o the_o cruel_a torment_n of_o their_o body_n they_o may_v save_v their_o own_o life_n enjoy_v their_o own_o good_n and_o live_v at_o liberty_n in_o their_o own_o country_n likewise_o we_o see_v that_o willing_o they_o suffer_v wrong_v injury_n and_o reproach_n and_o receive_v great_a shame_n &_o loss_n of_o they_o who_o they_o may_v recompense_v and_o requite_v with_o the_o like_a offence_n nevertheless_o they_o avenge_v not_o themselves_o although_o they_o may_v but_o remit_v the_o revenge_n to_o god_n now_o then_o there_o result_v here_o two_o question_n the_o one_o be_v why_o the_o lord_n see_v all_o thing_n be_v at_o his_o gift_n and_o disposition_n do_v so_o hardly_o entreat_v his_o servant_n in_o this_o life_n for_o all_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n all_o beast_n be_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n on_o the_o hill_n &_o on_o the_o mountain_n 50.10_o gold_n silver_n and_o riches_n he_o may_v give_v at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o high_a honour_n for_o promotion_n come_v neither_o from_o the_o east_n nor_o from_o the_o west_n 75.6_o but_o from_o above_o to_o be_v short_a he_o give_v liberty_n and_o make_v the_o heart_n cheerful_a and_o glad_a he_o have_v power_n to_o conserve_v the_o body_n in_o health_n and_o to_o prolong_v or_o abridge_v the_o day_n of_o man_n as_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o eye_n the_o other_o question_n be_v why_o righteous_a man_n do_v voluntary_o suffer_v and_o underlie_v those_o trouble_n which_o they_o may_v easy_o eschew_v and_o take_v up_o patient_o the_o reproach_n &_o wrong_n which_o they_o may_v resist_v and_o acquit_v which_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o hard_o of_o digestion_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o be_v plain_a repugnant_a to_o man_n own_o nature_n and_o inclination_n the_o first_o question_n contain_v two_o part_n the_o one_o be_v why_o god_n give_v not_o all_o kind_n of_o temporal_a benefit_n to_o his_o servant_n according_a to_o their_o heart_n desire_v the_o other_o part_n be_v why_o god_n do_v so_o miserable_o afflict_v his_o servant_n in_o this_o life_n to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o wise_a &_o discreet_a stewart_o and_o dispensator_fw-la of_o his_o benefit_n and_o see_v he_o have_v create_v and_o make_v we_o 103.14_o he_o know_v our_o strength_n and_o weakness_n 6.8_o what_o be_v most_o meet_a for_o we_o and_o how_o able_a we_o be_v to_o bear_v and_o use_v his_o gift_n and_o benefit_n therefore_o we_o may_v lay_v this_o for_o a_o sure_a ground_n that_o the_o lord_n bestow_v his_o temporal_a gift_n on_o his_o servant_n ever_o in_o such_o measure_n and_o in_o so_o far_o as_o he_o know_v they_o to_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o pilgrimage_n of_o this_o life_n and_o for_o their_o eternal_a salvation_n let_v no_o man_n then_o that_o fear_v god_n think_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v bestow_v less_o or_o more_o of_o his_o benefit_n upon_o he_o nor_o be_v expedient_a for_o the_o make_n of_o his_o journey_n &_o for_o his_o everlasting_a salvation_n which_o i_o think_v shall_v move_v every_o man_n to_o settle_v himself_o and_o to_o be_v hearty_o well_o content_a with_o the_o worldly_a gift_n which_o god_n have_v give_v he_o whether_o they_o be_v much_o or_o little_a in_o great_a measure_n or_o in_o small_a a_o other_o reason_n there_o be_v why_o the_o lord_n give_v not_o these_o worldly_a gift_n to_o his_o servant_n according_a to_o their_o manly_a heart_n desire_v because_o god_n reward_v not_o his_o own_o according_a to_o their_o worthiness_n but_o according_a to_o his_o greatness_n which_o reward_n by_o the_o self_n same_o reason_n can_v be_v worldly_a nor_o temporal_a but_o eternal_a and_o everlasting_a like_a unto_o the_o giver_n thereof_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o disposition_n of_o temporal_a benefit_n to_o the_o righteous_a i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o first_o question_n why_o the_o lord_n not_o only_o deny_v prosperity_n to_o his_o servant_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o they_o will_v wish_v but_o also_o do_v visit_v they_o with_o great_a trouble_n and_o affliction_n in_o this_o life_n the_o cause_n be_v many_o and_o divers_a wherefore_o the_o lord_n do_v afflict_v his_o own_o servant_n first_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v no_o permanent_a dwell_n or_o long_a residence_n here_o he_o visit_v we_o with_o trouble_n to_o the_o effect_n that_o our_o mind_n and_o delectation_n be_v not_o fix_v on_o earthly_a thing_n but_o rather_o shall_v be_v lift_v uppe_o to_o

he_o that_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n and_o unto_o the_o lamb_n for_o ever_o more_o we_o shall_v also_o sing_v the_o song_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o song_n of_o the_o lamb_n 15.3_o say_v great_a and_o marvellous_a be_v thy_o work_n lord_n god_n almighty_a just_a and_o true_a be_v thy_o way_n king_n of_o saint_n who_o shall_v not_o fear_v thou_o o_o lord_n and_o glorify_v thy_o name_n for_o thou_o only_o be_v holy_a and_o all_o nation_n shall_v come_v and_o worship_v before_o thou_o for_o thy_o judgement_n be_v make_v manifest_a 19.1_o we_o shall_v sing_v hallelujah_a hallelujah_a salvation_n and_o glory_n and_o honour_n and_o power_n be_v to_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n for_o true_a and_o righteous_a be_v his_o judgement_n thus_o much_o concern_v the_o pleasure_n which_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v of_o the_o permanence_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v it_o rest_v now_o that_o we_o speak_v somewhat_o concern_v the_o time_n and_o space_n how_o long_o the_o heavenly_a dwell_a place_n the_o company_n and_o the_o pleasure_n foresay_a shall_v endure_v to_o augment_v our_o joy_n and_o felicity_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o that_o celestial_a dwell_n that_o bless_a society_n and_o those_o inestimable_a pleasure_n shall_v never_o take_v a_o end_n but_o shall_v endure_v eternal_o without_o any_o limitation_n of_o time_n for_o it_o be_v call_v a_o bless_a immortality_n and_o a_o everlasting_a life_n so_o that_o ten_o thousand_o year_n or_o thousand_o million_o of_o year_n have_v not_o so_o great_a a_o proportion_n with_o the_o length_n thereof_o as_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n have_v with_o thousand_o million_o of_o year_n for_o so_o much_o as_o no_o prolixity_n of_o time_n can_v approach_v in_o any_o wise_a to_o the_o bound_n or_o end_n thereof_o for_o the_o life_n everlasting_a be_v without_o bound_n or_o end_n whatsoever_o i_o suppose_v that_o if_o any_o prince_n or_o potent_a man_n upon_o earth_n which_o live_v wealthy_o and_o well_o can_v be_v certify_v that_o he_o shall_v continue_v in_o that_o estate_n and_o shall_v live_v and_o not_o see_v death_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n i_o suppose_v i_o say_v that_o albeit_o the_o pleasure_n and_o prosperity_n of_o this_o life_n be_v mix_v with_o innumerable_a sorrow_n &_o grief_n nevertheless_o he_o shall_v rejoice_v therein_o exceed_o and_o count_v himself_o happy_a above_o all_o other_o man_n how_o much_o more_o than_o ought_v we_o to_o rejoice_v which_o shall_v dwell_v in_o that_o celestial_a kingdom_n accompany_v with_o the_o saint_n with_o
