for_o unjust_a reproach_n which_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o ignorance_n or_o malice_n that_o undeserved_a honour_n unjust_a praise_n and_o commendation_n be_v only_o the_o entertainment_n of_o fool_n and_o that_o unjust_a reproach_n ought_v not_o to_o put_v wise_a man_n out_o of_o countenance_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v in_o other_o case_n there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n and_o man_n opinion_n and_o be_v our_o passion_n and_o resentment_n govern_v by_o reason_n and_o proportion_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n not_o to_o the_o opinion_n of_o man_n about_o they_o it_o will_v make_v our_o condition_n in_o this_o world_n much_o more_o easy_a and_o tolerable_a but_o i_o can_v now_o particular_o show_v you_o all_o the_o variety_n of_o argument_n whereby_o man_n may_v support_v themselves_o under_o several_a calamity_n of_o life_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o my_o present_a purpose_n that_o reason_n give_v a_o new_a strength_n and_o vigour_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n to_o sustain_v his_o infirmity_n three_o but_o the_o great_a support_v of_o all_o be_v the_o argument_n religion_n furnish_v we_o with_o as_o to_o name_v but_o two_o at_o present_a 1._o that_o whatever_o we_o suffer_v be_v not_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o blind_a chance_n or_o fatal_a necessity_n but_o be_v order_v by_o a_o wise_a and_o good_a providence_n 2._o that_o if_o we_o bear_v our_o present_a suffering_n with_o patience_n and_o submission_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o make_v a_o wise_a use_n of_o they_o to_o our_o improvement_n in_o grace_n and_o virtue_n our_o very_a suffering_n shall_v be_v great_o reward_v in_o the_o next_o world_n these_o two_o principle_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o religion_n and_o as_o certain_a as_o any_o thing_n in_o religion_n all_o other_o argument_n without_o this_o belief_n can_v support_v we_o and_o there_o be_v no_o suffering_n too_o great_a for_o a_o man_n to_o bear_v who_o be_v thorough_o possess_v with_o a_o firm_a belief_n and_o vigorous_a sense_n of_o these_o can_v we_o ourselves_o or_o the_o kind_a friend_n in_o the_o world_n choose_v better_o for_o we_o than_o god_n do_v we_o suspect_v his_o wisdom_n or_o his_o goodness_n can_v he_o mistake_v our_o condition_n who_o know_v our_o frame_n can_v he_o be_v want_v in_o his_o care_n of_o we_o or_o in_o good_a will_n to_o we_o who_o make_v we_o what_o be_v it_o we_o desire_v but_o to_o be_v happy_a and_o if_o god_n intend_v our_o happiness_n in_o his_o severe_a correction_n why_o shall_v we_o complain_v religion_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o care_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v of_o much_o great_a concernment_n to_o we_o than_o bodily_a ease_n or_o pleasure_n and_o if_o god_n see_v pain_n and_o sickness_n poverty_n and_o disgrace_n necescessary_a to_o cure_v or_o restrain_v our_o vicious_a and_o distemper_a passion_n or_o to_o improve_v and_o exercise_v our_o grace_n have_v we_o any_o reason_n to_o complain_v that_o god_n take_v such_o severe_a method_n to_o save_v our_o soul_n have_v we_o rather_o be_v miserable_a for_o ever_o than_o suffer_v some_o present_a want_n and_o pain_n the_o soul_n be_v the_o best_a part_n of_o man_n and_o to_o take_v care_n of_o a_o man_n be_v to_o improve_v his_o better_a part_n and_o this_o be_v the_o design_n of_o god_n providence_n towards_o particular_a man_n to_o train_v they_o up_o to_o virtue_n by_o such_o method_n of_o kindness_n or_o severity_n as_o he_o see_v they_o want_v this_o i_o confess_v may_v be_v very_o grievous_a and_o afflict_a at_o present_a but_o then_o we_o have_v the_o hope_n of_o immortal_a life_n to_o support_v we_o and_o can_v that_o man_n be_v miserable_a can_v he_o sink_v under_o present_a suffering_n who_o have_v the_o hope_n of_o immortal_a life_n as_o the_o anchor_n of_o the_o soul_n both_o sure_a and_o steadfast_a to_o believe_v that_o all_o thing_n at_o present_a be_v intend_v for_o our_o good_a and_o shall_v work_v together_o for_o our_o good_a if_o we_o love_v god_n and_o that_o when_o we_o have_v out-rid_a the_o storm_n of_o this_o world_n by_o faith_n and_o patience_n and_o hope_v these_o light_a affliction_n which_o be_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n shall_v work_v for_o we_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n this_o if_o any_o thing_n will_v make_v all_o the_o suffering_n of_o this_o life_n easy_a if_o natural_a courage_n or_o natural_a reason_n fail_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n support_v by_o religion_n will_v sustain_v his_o infirmity_n three_o let_v we_o now_o consider_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o a_o wound_a spirit_n this_o be_v a_o metaphorical_a expression_n and_o signify_v a_o spirit_n which_o suffer_v pain_n and_o trouble_v a_o wound_n in_o the_o body_n be_v a_o division_n of_o one_o part_n from_o another_o which_o be_v always_o painful_a and_o though_o a_o spirit_n can_v be_v thus_o divide_v yet_o because_o a_o wound_n cause_v pain_n a_o spirit_n which_o be_v disorder_v and_o suffer_v pain_n be_v say_v to_o be_v wound_v as_o for_o instance_n some_o man_n spirit_n be_v wound_v with_o the_o disorder_n and_o violence_n of_o their_o own_o passion_n they_o love_v or_o hope_v or_o fear_v or_o desire_v or_o grieve_v immoderate_o and_o all_o passion_n be_v very_o painful_a when_o they_o be_v in_o excess_n upon_o this_o account_n the_o wicked_a be_v say_v to_o be_v like_o a_o trouble_a sea_n when_o it_o can_v rest_v who_o water_n cast_v up_o mire_n and_o dirt_n there_o be_v no_o peace_n say_v my_o god_n to_o the_o wicked_a other_o man_n spirit_n be_v wound_v with_o a_o sense_n of_o gild_n their_o own_o conscience_n reproach_n and_o shame_v they_o and_o threaten_v the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n against_o they_o they_o have_v gratify_v their_o lust_n or_o revenge_n their_o ambition_n or_o covetousness_n and_o dream_v of_o nothing_o but_o ease_n and_o pleasure_n the_o temptation_n be_v very_o charm_v as_o it_o come_v towards_o they_o but_o now_o the_o heat_n and_o impetus_fw-la be_v allay_v and_o the_o enjoyment_n over_o they_o can_v reveiw_n what_o they_o have_v do_v without_o horror_n their_o affright_a conscience_n draw_v the_o most_o amaze_a scene_n of_o judgement_n and_o paint_v their_o fancy_n with_o all_o the_o black_a image_n of_o terror_n the_o sinner_n of_o zion_n be_v afraid_a fear_n have_v surprise_v the_o hippocrite_n who_o shall_v dwell_v with_o devour_a fire_n who_o shall_v dwell_v with_o everlasting_a burn_n three_o this_o be_v the_o wound_a spirit_n and_o such_o a_o wound_a spirit_n who_o can_v bear_v this_o be_v matter_n of_o sense_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o we_o must_v appeal_v to_o the_o sense_n of_o mankind_n and_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n in_o this_o appeal_n for_o though_o some_o man_n may_v scorn_v to_o confess_v what_o they_o feel_v yet_o if_o all_o man_n mind_n be_v of_o a_o make_v we_o can_v feel_v in_o ourselves_o what_o other_o man_n feel_v and_o then_o we_o all_o know_v that_o anger_n when_o it_o grow_v immoderate_a and_o increase_v into_o rage_n and_o fury_n worry_v the_o mind_n and_o sharpen_v itself_o into_o such_o a_o keenness_n as_o cut_v deep_a into_o our_o own_o soul_n that_o a_o immoderate_a love_n of_o riches_n or_o honour_n or_o pleasure_n create_v we_o infinite_a trouble_n torment_n with_o a_o impatient_a thirst_n with_o restless_a and_o uneasy_a expectation_n distract_v we_o between_o hope_n and_o fear_n kill_v with_o delay_n and_o disappointment_n and_o there_o be_v but_o few_o man_n who_o can_v long_o dissemble_v their_o inward_a pain_n and_o uneasiness_n but_o confess_v it_o in_o their_o look_n and_o word_n and_o behaviour_n by_o external_a and_o visible_a symptom_n of_o frenzy_n and_o distraction_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o agony_n of_o a_o guilty_a mind_n as_o any_o man_n must_v confess_v who_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v self-condemned_n and_o to_o live_v under_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o the_o terrible_a expectation_n of_o endless_a torment_n for_o with_o what_o courage_n and_o patience_n can_v any_o man_n bear_v such_o a_o thought_n as_o this_o that_o he_o must_v be_v miserable_a for_o ever_o some_o man_n may_v laugh_v away_o the_o thought_n of_o hell_n but_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o man_n who_o believe_v in_o good_a earnest_n that_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n and_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v in_o the_o most_o apparent_a danger_n of_o fall_v into_o it_o that_o can_v bear_v this_o thought_n the_o many_o sad_a example_n of_o despair_a sinner_n who_o at_o the_o last_o moment_n groan_v out_o their_o soul_n in_o agony_n and_o horror_n be_v a_o undeniable_a proof_n of_o this_o man_n who_o do_v not_o believe_v a_o hell_n may_v laugh_v at_o it_o till_o they_o feel_v it_o but_o for_o experiment_n sake_n let_v they_o only_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v
