sweeten_v the_o present_a trial_n god_n will_v be_v with_o we_o in_o trouble_n not_o only_o to_o behold_v we_o but_o to_o uphold_v we_o as_o he_o be_v with_o daniel_n in_o the_o lion_n den_n and_o

certificate_n of_o god_n love_n and_o be_v evidence_n of_o his_o special_a favour_n affliction_n be_v the_o saint_n livery_n it_o be_v a_o badge_n and_o cognizance_n of_o honour_n that_o the_o god_n of_o glory_n shall_v look_v upon_o a_o worm_n and_o take_v so_o much_o notice_n of_o he_o as_o to_o afflict_v he_o rather_o than_o lose_v he_o be_v a_o high_a act_n of_o favour_n god_n rod_n be_v

malcontent_n have_v a_o mixture_n of_o grief_n and_o anger_n in_o it_o and_o both_o these_o must_v needs_o raise_v a_o storm_n in_o the_o soul_n have_v you_o not_o see_v the_o posture_n of_o a_o

then_o on_o the_o other_o he_o be_v restless_a this_o be_v just_a the_o emblem_n of_o a_o discontent_a spirit_n the_o man_n be_v not_o sick_a yet_o he_o be_v never_o well_o sometime_o he_o like_v such_o a_o condition_n of_o life_n and_o when_o he_o have_v it_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o please_v he_o be_v soon_o weary_a and_o then_o another_o condition_n of_o life_n this_o be_v a_o evil_a under_o the_o sun_n now_o the_o evil_a of_o discontent_n appear_v in_o three_o thing_n 1._o the_o sordidnesse_n of_o it_o discontent_n it_o be_v unworthy_a of_o a_o christian._n first_o it_o be_v unworthy_a of_o his_o profession_n it_o be_v the_o say_n of_o a_o heathen_a bear_v thy_o condition_n quiet_o nosce_fw-la te_fw-la esse_fw-la hominem_fw-la know_v thou_o be_v a_o man_n tully_n so_o i_o say_v bear_v thy_o condition_n content_o nosce_fw-la te_fw-la esse_fw-la christianum_fw-la know_v thou_o be_v a_o christian._n thou_o profess_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n what_o and_o not_o content_a faith_n be_v a_o grace_n that_o do_v substantiate_a thing_n not_o see_v 1._o say_v look_n beyond_o the_o creature_n it_o feed_v upon_o promise_n faith_n live_v not_o by_o bread_n alone_o when_o the_o water_n be_v spend_v in_o the_o bottle_n faith_n know_v whither_o to_o have_v recourse_n now_o to_o see_v a_o christian_a deject_v in_o the_o want_n of_o visible_a supply_n and_o recruit_n where_o be_v faith_n oh_o say_v one_o my_o estate_n in_o the_o world_n be_v down_o ay_o and_o which_o be_v worse_o thy_o faith_n be_v down_o will_v thou_o not_o be_v content_v unless_o god_n let_v down_o the_o vessel_n to_o thou_o as_o he_o do_v to_o peter_n wherein_o be_v all_o manner_n of_o beast_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n 12._o must_v you_o have_v first_o and_o second_o course_n this_o be_v like_o thomas_n unless_o i_o put_v my_o finger_n into_o the_o print_n of_o the_o nail_n i_o will_v not_o believe_v 25._o so_o unless_o thou_o have_v a_o sensible_a feel_n of_o outward_a comfort_n thou_o will_v not_o be_v content_a true_a faith_n will_v trust_v god_n where_o it_o can_v trace_v he_o and_o will_v adventure_v upon_o god_n bond_n though_o it_o have_v nothing_o in_o view_n you_o who_o be_v discontent_v because_o you_o have_v not_o all_o you_o will_v let_v i_o tell_v you_o either_o your_o faith_n be_v a_o nonentity_n or_o at_o best_o but_o a_o embryo_n it_o be_v a_o weak_a faith_n that_o must_v have_v stilt_n &_o crutch_n to_o support_v it_o nay_o discontent_n be_v not_o only_o below_o faith_n but_o below_o reason_n why_o be_v you_o discontent_v be_v it_o because_o you_o be_v dispossess_v of_o such_o comfort_n well_o &_o have_v you_o not_o reason_n to_o guide_v you_o do_v not_o reason_n tell_v you_o that_o you_o be_v but_o tenant_n at_o will_n and_o may_v not_o god_n turn_v you_o out_o when_o he_o please_v you_o hold_v not_o your_o estate_n jure_v but_o gratis_o not_o by_o a_o juridical_a right_n but_o upon_o favour_n and_o courtesy_n 2._o it_o be_v unworthy_a of_o the_o relation_n we_o stand_v in_o to_o god_n a_o christian_a be_v invest_v with_o the_o title_n and_o privilege_n of_o sonship_n 5._o he_o be_v a_o heir_n of_o the_o promise_n oh_o consider_v the_o lot_n of_o freegrace_n be_v fall_v upon_o thou_o thou_o be_v near_o ally_v to_o christ_n and_o of_o the_o blood_n royal_a thou_o be_v advance_v in_o some_o sense_n above_o the_o angel_n why_o then_o be_v thou_o be_v the_o king_n son_n lean_a from_o day_n to_o day_n 4._o 2_o sam._n 13._o 4._o why_o be_v thou_o discontent_v oh_o how_o unworthy_a be_v this_o as_o if_o the_o heir_n to_o some_o great_a monarch_n shall_v go_v pine_v up_o and_o down_o because_o he_o may_v not_o pick_v such_o a_o flower_n 2._o consider_v the_o sinfulness_n of_o it_o discontent_n which_o appear_v in_o three_o thing_n of_o it_o the_o cause_v the_o concomitant_n the_o consequence_n 1._o it_o be_v sinful_a in_o the_o cause_n which_o be_v these_o 1._o pride_n he_o that_o think_v high_o of_o his_o desert_n usual_o esteem_v mean_o of_o his_o condition_n a_o discontent_a man_n be_v a_o proud_a man_n he_o think_v himself_o better_a than_o other_o therefore_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v not_o above_o other_o pharsal_a thus_o the_o thing_n form_v say_v to_o he_o that_o form_v it_o why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o 20_o why_o
