may_v be_v manifest_v thereby_o some_o other_o wise_a end_n of_o providence_n that_o it_o be_v design_v for_o but_o in_o discourse_v on_o this_o head_n it_o will_v be_v great_a presumption_n to_o pretend_v to_o mention_v all_o the_o end_n of_o providence_n in_o any_o of_o its_o dispensation_n see_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v like_o the_o great_a mountain_n 36.6_o psal_n 36.6_o and_o his_o judgement_n be_v a_o great_a deep_a 11.33_o rom._n 11.33_o and_o his_o way_n past_o find_v out_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v two_o end_n of_o providence_n which_o be_v general_a and_o which_o i_o believe_v we_o may_v say_v be_v always_o design_v in_o all_o the_o affliction_n of_o good_a man_n beside_o other_o which_o may_v be_v special_a and_o peculiar_a to_o some_o case_n or_o which_o we_o may_v not_o have_v wisdom_n enough_o to_o discern_v viz._n 1._o the_o spiritual_a improvement_n of_o the_o person_n afflict_v whereby_o they_o will_v be_v entitle_v to_o a_o great_a reward_n in_o heaven_n and_o 2._o the_o benefit_n of_o other_o who_o behold_v their_o good_a example_n may_v be_v thereby_o both_o direct_v and_o encourage_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o virtue_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o a_o afflict_a state_n 1._o one_o end_v of_o providence_n in_o send_v affliction_n upon_o good_a man_n be_v for_o their_o spiritual_a improvement_n in_o grace_n and_o virtue_n whereby_o they_o will_v be_v entitle_v to_o a_o great_a reward_n in_o the_o other_o world_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o good_a but_o he_o may_v be_v make_v better_a and_o there_o be_v no_o one_o state_n of_o life_n in_o which_o there_o be_v opportunity_n of_o exercise_v all_o virtue_n and_o therefore_o though_o a_o man_n be_v as_o perfect_a as_o any_o man_n can_v be_v in_o that_o state_n wherein_o he_o now_o be_v yet_o if_o he_o be_v call_v to_o another_o state_n and_o have_v trial_n make_v of_o he_o another_o way_n he_o may_v and_o if_o he_o acquit_v himself_o well_o he_o will_v thereby_o be_v render_v more_o perfect_a and_o according_o it_o be_v observe_v by_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 2.10_o that_o even_o our_o bless_a lord_n and_o saviour_n himself_o be_v make_v perfect_a through_o suffering_n and_o heb._n 5.8_o that_o though_o he_o be_v a_o son_n yet_o he_o learned_a obedience_n by_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o suffer_v and_o that_o this_o same_o be_v the_o design_n of_o god_n in_o the_o chastisement_n and_o correction_n of_o all_o his_o son_n we_o be_v tell_v by_o the_o same_o apostle_n heb._n 12.10_o 11._o he_o chastn_v we_o for_o our_o profit_n that_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o his_o holiness_n and_o though_o no_o chastn_n 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 and_o upon_o this_o account_n the_o holy_a psalmist_n thankful_o acknowledge_v the_o kindness_n of_o god_n in_o lay_v affliction_n upon_o he_o psal_n 119.71_o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o that_o i_o have_v be_v afflict_v that_o i_o may_v learn_v thy_o statute_n 4._o jam._n 1.2_o 3_o 4._o and_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v we_o to_o count_v it_o all_o joy_n when_o we_o fall_v into_o divers_a temptation_n know_v this_o that_o the_o try_v of_o our_o faith_n work_v patience_n and_o let_v patience_n say_v he_o have_v her_o perfect_a work_n that_o you_o may_v be_v perfect_a and_o entire_a want_v nothing_o so_o that_o to_o what_o be_v say_v before_o that_o temporal_a adversity_n and_o affliction_n be_v not_o always_o mark_v of_o god_n displeasure_n we_o may_v now_o add_v this_o that_o when_o they_o befall_v good_a man_n they_o be_v token_n and_o expression_n of_o his_o kindness_n he_o mean_v thereby_o to_o make_v they_o more_o perfect_a in_o holiness_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o a_o more_o perfect_a happiness_n these_o light_a affliction_n which_o be_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n work_v for_o they_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_v and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v 2_o cor._n 4.17_o for_o the_o more_o they_o be_v try_v the_o more_o they_o will_v be_v refine_v and_o purify_v and_o the_o great_a difficulty_n they_o be_v put_v to_o encounter_v be_v enable_v by_o the_o divine_a grace_n to_o conquer_v they_o their_o victory_n will_v be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a when_o they_o overcome_v and_o their_o crown_n will_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o glorious_a and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n pronounce_v a_o blessedness_n to_o such_o as_o be_v revile_v and_o persecute_v and_o command_v his_o disciple_n rather_o to_o rejoice_v than_o to_o be_v cast_v down_o when_o such_o thing_n happen_v to_o they_o mat._n 5.10_o 11_o 12._o bless_a be_v they_o which_o be_v

glad_a for_o great_a be_v your_o reward_n in_o heaven_n and_o that_o this_o be_v one_o end_n and_o design_n of_o providence_n in_o the_o affliction_n of_o our_o late_a martyr_a sovereign_a king_n
