A43179	The Christians dayly solace in experimentall observations; or, cordials for crosses in thse sad and calamitous times of affliction. By R.H.	Head, Richard, Rev.	1659 (1659)	Wing H1277A; ESTC R222583	65,001	166

pity_v by_o he_o though_o he_o have_v no_o ability_n to_o help_v or_o relieve_v we_o then_o how_o much_o more_o ease_n and_o comfort_n shall_v we_o find_v in_o lay_v open_a the_o cause_n of_o our_o grief_n before_o our_o heavenly_a father_n who_o as_o he_o infinite_o exceed_v all_o the_o tender_a father_n in_o the_o world_n in_o pity_n in_o love_n and_o compassion_n so_o he_o be_v able_a when_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v most_o for_o his_o glory_n and_o our_o comfort_n to_o free_v we_o out_o of_o all_o our_o misery_n and_o affliction_n now_o a_o main_a strengthener_n of_o patience_n be_v provident_o to_o foresee_v cross_n approach_v this_o the_o heathen_a seneca_n prescribe_v as_o a_o way_n to_o be_v rid_v of_o care_n and_o fear_n and_o to_o attain_v unto_o full_a security_n that_o whatsoever_o evil_a we_o may_v fear_v to_o be_v come_v we_o shall_v suppose_v that_o it_o will_v certain_o come_v and_o so_o exercise_v ourselves_o to_o bear_v it_o willing_o before_o we_o be_v constrain_v to_o bear_v it_o upon_o necessity_n let_v we_o then_o prepare_v ourselves_o for_o the_o time_n of_o adversity_n and_o consider_v that_o those_o thing_n which_o have_v happen_v unto_o other_o may_v also_o befall_v we_o and_o bear_v those_o affliction_n which_o at_o any_o time_n may_v be_v lay_v upon_o we_o but_o above_o all_o let_v we_o not_o fix_v our_o heart_n upon_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o use_v the_o benefit_n of_o this_o life_n as_o though_o we_o use_v they_o not_o and_o enjoy_v they_o so_o as_o those_o who_o be_v present_o to_o forego_v they_o for_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o possess_v with_o immoderate_a love_n we_o always_o lose_v with_o immoderate_a grief_n and_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o our_o temporal_a blessing_n as_o upon_o perpetuity_n we_o shall_v subject_v ourselves_o to_o much_o sorrow_n and_o find_v small_a patience_n when_o their_o loss_n prove_v unto_o we_o that_o they_o be_v but_o moveable_n it_o be_v good_a to_o forethink_v when_o we_o be_v honour_v in_o the_o world_n and_o have_v every_o man_n tongue_n as_o a_o trumpet_n for_o our_o praise_n the_o time_n may_v come_v we_o may_v be_v as_o much_o disgrace_v and_o defame_v for_o this_o have_v befall_v to_o many_o before_o we_o and_o will_v happen_v to_o many_o after_o we_o and_o why_o not_o then_o unto_o we_o also_o among_o the_o rest_n then_o serious_o let_v we_o

the_o low_a bottom_n of_o shame_n and_o disgrace_n and_o with_o what_o reason_n and_o argument_n we_o may_v strengthen_v our_o patience_n and_o mitigate_v and_o moderate_v our_o grief_n and_o

of_o perpetual_a league_n pretend_v such_o dearness_n of_o affection_n that_o our_o entertainment_n shall_v be_v the_o very_o best_a and_o our_o welcome_n hug_v and_o embracement_n that_o in_o the_o

bear_v it_o to_o have_v their_o sweet_a discourse_n turn_v into_o silence_n at_o the_o best_a when_o we_o shall_v see_v such_o a_o change_n in_o their_o countenance_n that_o in_o stead_n of_o smile_n

death_n will_v not_o be_v bribe_v will_v not_o hearken_v to_o any_o of_o our_o cry_n tear_n or_o sigh_n oh_o than_o let_v we_o reason_n with_o ourselves_o how_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o endure_v

for_o say_v he_o when_o i_o beget_v he_o i_o know_v he_o be_v mortal_a and_o have_v bring_v he_o up_o in_o the_o expectation_n of_o this_o mortality_n and_o this_o consideration_n of_o prepare_v to_o
