that_o we_o may_v discern_v we_o be_v to_o think_v upon_o these_o follow_a thing_n 1._o remember_v that_o some_o of_o the_o evil_n we_o suffer_v be_v unavoidable_a by_o we_o whether_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o no._n that_o be_v they_o be_v such_o as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n none_o but_o he_o can_v prevent_v or_o remove_v and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o power_n to_o do_v either_o now_o in_o such_o case_n it_o be_v a_o man_n wisdom_n to_o suffer_v they_o with_o as_o little_a trouble_n to_o himself_o as_o he_o can_v see_v he_o must_v bear_v they_o do_v what_o he_o can_v impatience_n fret_v and_o rage_n do_v not_o lessen_v but_o double_a the_o suffering_n whatever_o it_o be_v and_o then_o the_o belief_n of_o a_o god_n bind_v we_o in_o such_o case_n to_o no_o more_o but_o to_o suffer_v patient_o and_o in_o humble_a submission_n to_o his_o will_n and_o in_o hope_n that_o do_v so_o all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o good_a to_o we_o rom._n 8._o 28._o and_o that_o the_o light_a affliction_n which_o be_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n work_v for_o we_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n 2_o cor._n 4._o 17._o see_v then_o such_o evil_n must_v be_v bear_v all_o the_o hurt_n the_o belief_n of_o god_n do_v we_o be_v to_o enable_v we_o to_o bear_v they_o more_o easy_o even_o as_o much_o as_o he_o that_o suffer_v in_o hope_n may_v suffer_v more_o cheerful_o than_o he_o that_o have_v no_o hope_n 2._o observe_v that_o some_o of_o these_o evil_n be_v such_o as_o we_o suffer_v through_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n and_o here_o we_o shall_v remember_v first_o that_o be_v there_o no_o belief_n or_o fear_n of_o god_n among_o man_n where_o we_o now_o suffer_v one_o such_o evil_a we_o shall_v suffer_v a_o thousand_o i_o hope_v then_o the_o belief_n of_o a_o god_n do_v we_o no_o hurt_n in_o this_o that_o it_o make_v our_o suffering_n few_o than_o otherwise_o they_o will_v be_v second_o remember_v it_o be_v for_o want_n of_o this_o belief_n that_o man_n be_v so_o forward_o to_o hurt_v one_o another_o for_o god_n forbid_v it_o and_o if_o man_n believe_v to_o the_o purpose_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n forbid_v all_o injury_n on_o pain_n of_o damnation_n they_o will_v not_o dare_v to_o do_v wrong_n who_o then_o will_v say_v that_o the_o belief_n of_o a_o god_n can_v be_v hurtful_a when_o it_o be_v only_o the_o want_n of_o it_o whence_o all_o such_o hurt_v arise_v well_o but_o it_o will_v be_v yet_o say_v that_o be_v it_o not_o for_o fear_v of_o god_n we_o may_v some_o way_n or_o other_o prevent_v or_o remove_v such_o evil_n as_o these_o for_o a_o full_a answer_n to_o this_o 3._o take_v notice_n that_o of_o this_o kind_n of_o evil_n some_o be_v very_o slight_a small_a and_o easy_o tolerable_a other_o be_v very_o grievous_a and_o not_o easy_o supportable_a if_o the_o evil_n we_o suffer_v one_o from_o another_o be_v very_o small_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v bear_v will_v not_o a_o wise_a man_n whether_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o no_o rather_o be_v content_a to_o bear_v they_o patient_o even_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o own_o ease_n and_o quiet_a much_o more_o for_o the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o the_o neighbourhood_n than_o disturb_v both_o himself_o and_o his_o neighbour_n by_o beginning_n and_o continue_v a_o quarrel_n about_o little_a thing_n and_o that_o when_o the_o issue_n be_v doubtful_a and_o he_o can_v be_v sure_a he_o shall_v be_v a_o gainer_n in_o the_o end_n if_o one_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o end_v quarrel_n speedy_o and_o to_o live_v in_o pe●ce_n and_o quietness_n which_o certain_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o desirable_a to_o put_v up_o in_o patience_n and_o silence_n light_n and_o trivial_a wrong_n be_v both_o the_o short_a and_o easy_a the_o cheap_a and_o most_o oblige_a way_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o in_o such_o case_n the_o belief_n of_o a_o god_n do_v bind_v we_o to_o if_o the_o evil_n we_o suffer_v from_o other_o be_v very_o grievous_a and_o not_o easy_o supportable_a the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v not_o forbid_v we_o fair_o and_o legal_o to_o right_v and_o relieve_v ourselves_o much_o less_o do_v they_o command_v we_o to_o lay_v ourselves_o open_a to_o such_o evil_n or_o not_o to_o guard_v ourselves_o as_o well_o as_o we_o can_v against_o they_o or_o to_o suffer_v evil-doer_n to_o pass_v unpunished_a all_o that_o god_n forbid_v in_o such_o case_n be_v spiteful_a and_o unnecessary_a private_a revenge_n now_o a_o wise_a man_n again_o whether_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o no_o will_v take_v this_o very_a course_n that_o god_n now_o command_v and_o not_o that_o which_o he_o forbid_v if_o he_o be_v in_o want_n or_o poverty_n he_o will_v use_v no_o illegal_a mean_n of_o relief_n if_o he_o be_v wrong_v he_o will_v use_v no_o illegal_a way_n of_o right_v himself_o why_o because_o he_o consider_v he_o thus_o make_v himself_o his_o own_o judge_n and_o his_o own_o carver_n and_o so_o may_v every_o one_o do_v as_o well_o as_o he_o and_o at_o this_o rate_n there_o can_v be_v no_o civil_a society_n or_o government_n but_o all_o man_n will_v be_v let_v loose_a like_v so_o many_o wild_a beast_n to_o prey_v upon_o and_o devour_v one_o another_o what_o hurt_n then_o do_v the_o belief_n of_o a_o god_n do_v we_o when_o it_o bind_v we_o to_o suffer_v no_o otherwise_o than_o any_o wise_a man_n will_v of_o himself_o do_v be_v he_o sure_a there_o be_v no_o god_n be_v this_o the_o hurt_n it_o do_v that_o it_o bind_v we_o to_o die_v rather_o than_o any_o way_n to_o dishonour_n god_n which_o we_o need_v not_o do_v be_v there_o no_o god_n it_o be_v true_a again_o that_o it_o bind_v we_o to_o this_o and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o god_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o it_o well_o then_o say_v the_o atheist_n can_v any_o one_o pretend_v that_o this_o be_v no_o hurt_n for_o a_o man_n to_o lose_v his_o life_n and_o all_o that_o be_v dear_a to_o he_o at_o once_o irrecoverable_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o god_n if_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o this_o i_o say_v if_o there_o be_v any_o hurt_n at_o all_o in_o this_o yet_o be_v it_o much_o less_o than_o that_o which_o will_v necessary_o follow_v the_o deny_v of_o a_o god_n yea_o though_o he_o be_v not_o and_o this_o must_v be_v grant_v when_o these_o few_o thing_n have_v be_v due_o consider_v first_o we_o must_v all_o die_v whether_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o no._n i_o can_v think_v that_o any_o one_o of_o those_o who_o doubt_v whether_o there_o be_v a_o god_n doubt_v too_o whether_o or_o no_o he_o shall_v die_v he_o be_v he_o think_v too_o sure_a of_o that_o and_o further_a yet_o we_o none_o of_o we_o know_v either_o when_o or_o how_o we_o shall_v die_v it_o may_v be_v tomorrow_o or_o before_o and_o it_o may_v be_v too_o in_o the_o most_o painful_a agony_n and_o torment_n therefore_o second_o the_o worst_a that_o can_v be_v in_o our_o die_n for_o god_n be_v this_o that_o we_o may_v so_o be_v make_v to_o die_v a_o little_a and_o we_o know_v not_o how_o little_a a_o while_n for_o aught_o we_o know_v not_o one_o hour_n or_o minute_n before_o the_o time_n when_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v have_v die_v or_o we_o may_v be_v make_v to_o die_v in_o torment_n and_o yet_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v in_o far_o less_o torment_n than_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v have_v die_v and_o it_o may_v be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n three_o it_o can_v be_v any_o great_a hurt_n to_o lose_v a_o few_o day_n of_o a_o uncertain_a and_o troublesome_a lifo_o and_o such_o day_n as_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v will_v have_v bring_v so_o many_o evil_n along_o with_o they_o as_o will_v have_v make_v we_o wish_v a_o thousand_o time_n over_o that_o we_o have_v die_v soon_o and_o have_v never_o see_v so_o much_o as_o one_o of_o they_o four_o if_o all_o man_n be_v persuade_v that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n will_v soon_o make_v the_o world_n so_o uneasy_a a_o place_n to_o we_o that_o he_o will_v think_v himself_o the_o happy_a man_n that_o can_v soon_o find_v his_o way_n out_o of_o it_o all_o this_o consider_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o even_o the_o faint_v hope_n that_o any_o one_o can_v conceive_v of_o enjoy_v a_o bless_a eternity_n with_o god_n must_v be_v enough_o to_o make_v he_o set_v light_n by_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o few_o day_n more_o of_o life_n in_o this_o world_n he_o that_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n as_o no_o man_n can_v be_v and_o much_o more_o he_o that_o but_o think_v there_o be_v a_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o fool_n if_o
