the_o world_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o evil_a the_o one_o of_o sin_n and_o the_o other_o of_o punishment_n and_o if_o we_o can_v trace_v the_o whole_a series_n of_o providence_n as_o far_o as_o it_o relate_v to_o the_o permission_n of_o one_o and_o the_o inflict_a of_o the_o other_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o repugnant_a to_o the_o divine_a attribute_n in_o the_o form_n of_o man_n god_n exercise_v his_o wisdom_n and_o his_o power_n in_o give_v he_o law_n he_o show_v his_o goodness_n and_o his_o justice_n he_o make_v he_o lord_n over_o his_o own_o will_n to_o crown_v the_o dignity_n of_o his_o nature_n he_o give_v he_o the_o power_n of_o choice_n to_o declare_v that_o he_o stand_v in_o no_o need_n of_o his_o service_n and_o assistance_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o glorify_v in_o punish_v his_o rebellion_n as_o by_o reward_v his_o obedience_n to_o prevent_v sin_n therefore_o in_o man_n god_n must_v either_o have_v take_v away_o his_o rational_a soul_n and_o level_v he_o with_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n or_o else_o have_v so_o far_o exalt_v his_o nature_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v uncapable_a of_o sin_v either_o of_o which_o action_n will_v have_v blot_v out_o the_o order_n of_o man_n and_o dissolve_v the_o frame_n of_o humane_a nature_n so_o that_o this_o exception_n be_v altogether_o unreasonable_a see_v we_o know_v god_n have_v a_o right_a to_o make_v such_o a_o creature_n as_o man_n and_o if_o he_o fall_v his_o sin_n lie_v at_o his_o own_o door_n god_n must_v either_o permit_v many_o sin_n or_o none_o at_o all_o and_o this_o latter_a will_v either_o unman_v or_o destroy_v we_o yet_o the_o evil_n which_o god_n prevent_v be_v far_o more_o than_o he_o permit_v consider_v the_o flux_n of_o our_o inclination_n and_o the_o tendency_n of_o humane_a nature_n so_o that_o it_o be_v more_o proper_a for_o we_o to_o be_v thankful_a for_o god_n restrain_v grace_n see_v his_o mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n than_o to_o be_v

the_o second_o objection_n may_v be_v why_o good_a and_o virtuous_a man_n grieve_v and_o be_v afflict_v why_o our_o saviour_n leave_v part_n of_o his_o church_n militant_a and_o not_o all_o over_o triumphant_a say_v some_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o a_o divine_a providence_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n so_o little_a care_n be_v take_v of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o heir_n of_o promise_n why_o be_v those_o neglect_v who_o make_v frequent_a and_o early_a address_n unto_o heaven_n who_o live_v honest_a sober_a and_o temperate_a life_n yet_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o scorn_n and_o derision_n the_o affront_v and_o insolence_n of_o licentious_a and_o profligate_v man_n thus_o they_o wag_v their_o head_n and_o say_v why_o do_v not_o god_n save_v they_o harmless_a and_o take_v they_o down_o from_o the_o cross_n for_o when_o they_o can_v lay_v nothing_o to_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n goodness_n they_o begin_v to_o question_v his_o power_n and_o dominion_n whereas_o if_o we_o understand_v the_o way_n of_o god_n deal_n with_o we_o if_o we_o can_v ford_n the_o current_n of_o providence_n and_o find_v out_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o promiscuous_a dispensation_n of_o heaven_n we_o shall_v see_v justice_n in_o all_o his_o action_n no_o innocent_a oppress_v none_o but_o the_o guilty_a punish_v nothing_o take_v away_o but_o what_o we_o deserve_v to_o lose_v we_o shall_v find_v no_o wild_a accident_n of_o fortune_n as_o if_o the_o reins_o of_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n be_v let_v lose_v though_o possible_o the_o instrument_n of_o god_n overrule_a power_n may_v be_v guilty_a of_o violence_n and_o injustice_n yet_o the_o obvious_a reason_n of_o the_o affliction_n of_o good_a man_n which_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o understanding_n be_v such_o as_o follow_v to_o wean_v their_o affection_n from_o the_o fondness_n and_o delight_n which_o the_o best_a of_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o take_v in_o the_o pleasure_n and_o vanity_n of_o this_o life_n or_o that_o the_o world_n may_v not_o conclude_v they_o serve_v god_n for_o profit_n and_o temporal_a advantage_n it_o be_v the_o devil_n argument_n against_o job_n he_o do_v not_o serve_v god_n for_o nought_o sometime_o they_o come_v for_o trial_n and_o amendment_n thus_o we_o read_v of_o the_o furnace_n of_o affliction_n which_o be_v to_o purify_v and_o refine_v we_o from_o the_o dross_n of_o this_o life_n and_o to_o prepare_v we_o for_o a_o better_a for_o he_o that_o have_v not_o taste_v of_o the_o bread_n of_o affliction_n the_o morallist_n can_v say_v ignorat_fw-la rerum_fw-la
