the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v make_v miserable_a and_o the_o good_a man_n happy_a a_o consideration_n which_o do_v mighty_o enhance_v the_o glorious_a reward_n that_o attend_v good_a man_n in_o the_o other_o world_n and_o therefore_o may_v just_o raise_v our_o expectation_n of_o they_o for_o from_o the_o affliction_n which_o good_a man_n labour_v under_o here_o they_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o god_n who_o see_v and_o know_v they_o and_o can_v forget_v their_o labour_n of_o love_n will_v not_o let_v the_o suffering_n they_o undergo_v for_o his_o sake_n to_o lose_v their_o reward_n and_o indeed_o they_o have_v his_o promise_n to_o rely_v upon_o that_o he_o will_v not_o for_o he_o assure_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a apostle_n that_o their_o light_a affliction_n that_o be_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n shall_v work_v for_o they_o not_o only_a glory_n but_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n and_o as_o the_o suffering_n of_o good_a man_n so_o the_o prosperity_n of_o bad_a man_n here_o may_v just_o heighten_v our_o apprehension_n of_o those_o glory_n that_o be_v lay_v up_o for_o good_a man_n hereafter_o for_o it_o be_v very_o natural_a to_o argue_v if_o god_n be_v so_o gracious_a to_o bad_a man_n so_o bountiful_a to_o those_o that_o be_v bastard_n and_o not_o son_n as_o to_o indulge_v they_o a_o liberal_a share_n of_o prosperity_n and_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n then_o infinite_o great_a sure_o be_v those_o reward_n and_o inconceiveable_o glorious_a be_v that_o inheritance_n which_o be_v reserve_v in_o heaven_n for_o those_o good_a man_n that_o be_v his_o true_a son_n by_o regeneration_n and_o adoption_n 4._o what_o i_o have_v discourse_v shall_v teach_v we_o neither_o to_o think_v hardly_o of_o god_n nor_o to_o envy_v wicked_a man_n when_o he_o permit_v they_o to_o persecute_v his_o church_n and_o to_o triumph_v in_o the_o misery_n and_o ruin_n of_o his_o best_a servant_n the_o psalmist_n when_o he_o have_v recover_v himself_o own_v himself_o to_o have_v be_v foolish_a and_o ignorant_a and_o a_o beast_n for_o grieve_v at_o the_o flourish_a estate_n of_o the_o ungodly_a and_o for_o entertain_v hard_a and_o unworthy_a thought_n of_o god_n upon_o that_o account_n he_o find_v upon_o his_o go_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n that_o the_o prosperity_n of_o these_o man_n be_v but_o their_o be_v mount_v high_a upon_o slippery_a place_n that_o they_o may_v the_o more_o sure_o and_o irrecoverable_o fall_v and_o that_o their_o end_n be_v to_o be_v root_v out_o at_o the_o last_o whereas_o whatever_o persecution_n good_a man_n suffer_v the_o end_n of_o the_o upright_a man_n will_v be_v peace_n and_o therefore_o he_o acknowledge_v that_o in_o all_o these_o seem_o unaccountable_a dispensation_n true_o god_n be_v love_v unto_o israel_n i_o be_o sure_a we_o of_o this_o church_n and_o nation_n have_v find_v he_o to_o be_v so_o and_o have_v reason_n to_o say_v with_o one_o of_o the_o famous_a seven_o brethren_n in_o the_o maccabee_n that_o though_o the_o live_a god_n have_v be_v angry_a with_o we_o for_o a_o while_n for_o our_o chasten_n and_o correction_n yet_o at_o last_o he_o have_v be_v at_o one_o again_o with_o his_o servant_n though_o he_o have_v shake_v his_o rod_n over_o we_o threaten_v to_o remove_v our_o candlestick_n and_o to_o permit_v our_o adversary_n to_o lay_v waste_v our_o zion_n yet_o he_o have_v put_v a_o hook_n into_o their_o nostril_n and_o send_v his_o angel_n to_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n and_o from_o the_o expectation_n of_o all_o the_o people_n that_o hate_v we_o and_o though_o he_o have_v not_o yet_o so_o wonderful_o appear_v for_o the_o rescue_n of_o some_o of_o our_o reform_a brethren_n whether_o it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o meet_v for_o such_o a_o deliverance_n or_o their_o enemy_n not_o ripe_a for_o destruction_n that_o these_o have_v not_o yet_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o sin_n nor_o the_o other_o lie_v long_o enough_o under_o the_o scourge_n for_o their_o correction_n and_o reformation_n or_o for_o whatever_o other_o reason_n it_o please_v he_o still_o to_o suffer_v their_o persecute_v enemy_n to_o tyrannize_v over_o they_o yet_o let_v we_o have_v a_o care_n of_o charge_v god_n foolish_o for_o the_o heavy_a suffering_n of_o our_o brethren_n or_o of_o envy_v the_o long_a success_n of_o their_o persecutor_n for_o god_n be_v just_a in_o all_o his_o deal_n and_o holy_a and_o good_a in_o all_o his_o way_n he_o do_v not_o afflict_v willing_o nor_o grieve_v the_o child_n of_o man_n but_o when_o he_o have_v great_a reason_n for_o it_o and_o excellent_a end_n to_o serve_v by_o it_o and_o however_o the_o prosperity_n of_o their_o persecutor_n may_v look_v to_o unthinking_a man_n yet_o to_o envy_v it_o be_v indeed_o to_o envy_v they_o their_o judgement_n and_o reprobation_n and_o to_o suffer_v the_o utmost_a misery_n the_o most_o exquisite_a torment_n that_o the_o wit_n or_o malice_n of_o a_o missionary_n can_v invent_v or_o the_o fury_n of_o dragoon_n execute_v be_v ten_o thousand_o time_n rather_o to_o be_v choose_v than_o to_o enjoy_v all_o the_o prosperity_n and_o success_n all_o the_o pomp_n and_o power_n in_o the_o world_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o labour_n under_o the_o guilt_n of_o so_o many_o sacred_a promise_n and_o oath_n break_v so_o many_o solemn_a league_n and_o treaty_n violate_v and_o under_o the_o tear_n and_o cry_n of_o so_o many_o miserable_a orphan_n and_o widow_n the_o unjust_a invasion_n and_o desolation_n of_o so_o many_o country_n and_o city_n the_o blood_n of_o so_o many_o thousand_o the_o rape_n upon_o so_o many_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o body_n as_o the_o great_a tyrant_n of_o this_o or_o any_o age_n have_v to_o answer_v for_o but_o 5._o and_o last_o from_o hence_o we_o learn_v also_o that_o all_o these_o i_o have_v now_o mention_v and_o if_o possible_a great_a impiety_n and_o treachery_n in_o our_o adversary_n will_v give_v we_o no_o security_n against_o they_o if_o we_o by_o our_o sin_n provoke_v god_n to_o give_v we_o over_o unto_o they_o possible_o some_o of_o over_o sanguine_a complexion_n and_o hope_n may_v flatter_v themselves_o with_o great_a assurance_n of_o safety_n and_o success_n mere_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o wickedness_n of_o those_o enemy_n we_o be_v necessary_o engage_v with_o who_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v be_v such_o that_o if_o ever_o the_o wickedness_n of_o enemy_n alone_o be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o raise_v a_o hope_n of_o success_n against_o they_o we_o may_v reasonable_o conceive_v such_o hope_n but_o what_o i_o have_v be_v large_o insist_v on_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o arm_v we_o against_o so_o fatal_a a_o delusion_n for_o god_n i_o have_v observe_v do_v and_o may_v make_v use_n of_o what_o instrument_n he_o please_v the_o vile_a and_o worst_a of_o man_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o by_o our_o provocation_n have_v deserve_v so_o severe_a a_o one_o as_o that_o our_o glory_n shall_v be_v give_v up_o into_o our_o enemy_n hand_n we_o can_v from_o their_o impiety_n promise_v ourselves_o impunity_n we_o must_v not_o then_o take_v our_o measure_n from_o they_o but_o turn_v our_o eye_n inward_o and_o see_v how_o thing_n stand_v at_o home_n but_o bless_a god_n what_o a_o black_a and_o affright_a scene_n shall_v we_o here_o behold_v shall_v i_o insist_v upon_o the_o great_a light_n and_o knowledge_n of_o our_o duty_n that_o have_v be_v afford_v we_o the_o strict_a obligation_n to_o it_o that_o our_o holy_a religion_n lay_v upon_o we_o the_o pure_a way_n of_o worship_n that_o we_o have_v be_v bless_v with_o and_o all_o the_o various_a endear_n method_n that_o god_n have_v use_v to_o reform_v and_o purify_v we_o to_o himself_o a_o peculiar_a people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n and_o then_o inquire_v how_o we_o have_v answer_v these_o obligation_n what_o effect_n these_o method_n have_v have_v upon_o we_o whether_o we_o have_v be_v as_o much_o pure_a than_o our_o neighbour_n in_o our_o life_n as_o much_o more_o reform_v in_o our_o manner_n as_o our_o church_n and_o religion_n be_v more_o pure_a and_o reform_v than_o they_o as_o much_o better_a in_o every_o respect_n than_o they_o as_o we_o have_v have_v reason_n and_o opportunity_n to_o be_v shall_v i_o enumerate_v the_o particular_a scandalous_a vice_n that_o be_v public_o commit_v and_o glory_v in_o whether_o those_o of_o our_o own_o growth_n or_o those_o we_o have_v fetch_v over_o together_o with_o their_o fashion_n from_o foreign_a nation_n and_o in_o both_o outdo_v our_o pattern_n shall_v i_o reflect_v upon_o the_o unthinking_a life_n of_o many_o who_o be_v as_o without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n for_o he_o be_v not_o in_o all_o their_o thought_n who_o divide_v their_o

wicked_a one_o do_v who_o he_o mention_n in_o the_o 11_o ver_fw-la who_o infer_v from_o it_o that_o god_n do_v not_o know_v there_o be_v no_o knowledge_n in_o the_o most_o high_a and_o at_o this_o time_n this_o be_v the_o great_a argument_n which_o the_o atheist_n use_v to_o banish_v the_o belief_n of_o a_o god_n and_o his_o providence_n out_o of_o the_o world_n for_o thus_o he_o argue_v from_o the_o wicked_n oppress_v and_o afflict_v the_o pious_a servant_n or_o god_n and_o prosper_v and_o thrive_v by_o it_o either_o god_n do_v not_o see_v have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o these_o thing_n or_o if_o he_o do_v see_v and_o have_v knowledge_n of_o they_o he_o either_o will_v hinder_v they_o but_o can_v or_o can_v hinder_v they_o but_o will_v not_o if_o god_n will_v hinder_v they_o but_o can_v then_o be_v he_o not_o omnipotent_a if_o he_o can_v but_o will_v not_o then_o be_v he_o not_o just_a and_o good_a so_o that_o either_o his_o power_n or_o his_o justice_n and_o goodness_n must_v be_v give_v up_o or_o else_o those_o attribute_n must_v be_v salve_v by_o the_o imperfection_n of_o his_o knowledge_n and_o so_o he_o pretend_v it_o a_o kind_a as_o well_v as_o more_o reasonable_a thing_n to_o say_v that_o god_n do_v not_o regard_n be_v not_o at_o leisure_n to_o take_v cognisance_n of_o affair_n below_o rather_o than_o that_o he_o want_v either_o the_o power_n or_o justice_n and_o goodness_n to_o hinder_v such_o irregularity_n and_o thus_o the_o knot_n be_v cut_v instead_o of_o be_v untie_v and_o the_o atheist_n seem_v so_o tender_a of_o some_o of_o god_n attribute_n as_o to_o take_v those_o measure_n to_o secure_v they_o which_o will_v effectual_o prove_v he_o not_o to_o be_v god_n which_o be_v what_o he_o desire_v to_o prove_v for_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o a_o god_n be_v a_o be_v infinite_a in_o all_o perfection_n and_o that_o be_v that_o want_v any_o be_v not_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o be_v defective_a in_o knowledge_n can_v no_o more_o be_v god_n than_o he_o that_o be_v not_o infinite_a in_o power_n justice_n or_o goodness_n thus_o these_o disputer_n of_o the_o world_n who_o through_o wisdom_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v know_v not_o god_n by_o their_o foolish_a reason_n will_v dispute_v he_o out_o of_o be_v iii_o but_o to_o vindicate_v the_o divine_a providence_n from_o these_o unreasonable_a cavil_n and_o to_o expose_v the_o weakness_n of_o those_o objection_n which_o be_v make_v against_o this_o procedure_n which_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n propose_v i_o have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v than_o to_o show_v that_o it_o may_v be_v very_o consistent_a with_o the_o justice_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n to_o permit_v these_o thing_n for_o the_o objection_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o contrary_a supposition_n and_o the_o atheist_n will_v therefore_o prove_v that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n either_o he_o do_v not_o know_v or_o can_v hinder_v these_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o his_o justice_n and_o goodness_n to_o suffer_v they_o if_o he_o know_v and_o can_v prevent_v they_o but_o now_o if_o god_n may_v be_v very_o just_a and_o good_a notwithstanding_o he_o do_v suffer_v and_o can_v prevent_v they_o than_o be_v his_o permission_n thereof_o no_o argument_n either_o of_o his_o want_n of_o knowledge_n or_o power_n i_o say_v then_o god_n do_v see_v have_v knowledge_n of_o these_o thing_n nay_o he_o not_o only_o see_v but_o order_n or_o suffer_v they_o for_o nothing_o fall_v out_o but_o by_o his_o appointment_n or_o permission_n all_o the_o occurrence_n in_o the_o world_n be_v the_o result_v not_o of_o chance_n but_o of_o his_o wise_a counsel_n the_o effect_n of_o that_o providence_n that_o extend_v itself_o to_o the_o most_o minute_n creature_n not_o a_o sparrow_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n without_o he_o even_o the_o hair_n of_o our_o head_n be_v all_o number_v and_o he_o can_v prevent_v and_o hinder_v these_o thing_n if_o he_o please_v his_o power_n extend_v to_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o object_n of_o any_o power_n to_o every_o thing_n that_o do_v not_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n but_o though_o god_n do_v see_v and_o order_n or_o permit_v and_o can_v prevent_v these_o thing_n if_o he_o please_v yet_o be_v his_o permission_n of_o they_o not_o at_o all_o inconsistent_a with_o his_o infinite_a justice_n and_o goodness_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o which_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o make_v good_a these_o three_o thing_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o god_n justice_n and_o goodness_n to_o suffer_v good_a man_n to_o be_v afflict_v in_o this_o world_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o god_n justice_n and_o goodness_n to_o suffer_v bad_a man_n to_o be_v prosperous_a here_o 3._o that_o it_o be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o god_n justice_n and_o goodness_n to_o suffer_v bad_a man_n to_o be_v the_o instrument_n by_o which_o good_a man_n be_v afflict_v i._o it_o be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o god_n justice_n and_o goodness_n to_o suffer_v good_a man_n to_o be_v afflict_v in_o this_o world_n for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o affliction_n in_o this_o world_n be_v not_o always_o punishment_n but_o many_o time_n excellent_a mean_n whereby_o god_n design_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a and_o benefit_n to_o those_o that_o be_v exercise_v with_o they_o by_o which_o he_o wean_v they_o from_o the_o world_n reduce_v they_o when_o they_o be_v go_v astray_o try_v prove_v their_o faith_n patience_n submission_n resignation_n to_o and_o dependence_n upon_o himself_o by_o which_o he_o advance_v and_o increase_v their_o grace_n raise_v and_o heighten_v their_o desire_n and_o long_n after_o that_o perfect_a state_n of_o unmixed_a happiness_n where_o no_o affliction_n can_v enter_v and_o then_o when_o affliction_n produce_v such_o bless_a effect_n when_o they_o yield_v such_o peaceable_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n certain_o god_n be_v neither_o unjust_a nor_o unkind_a in_o suffer_v his_o best_a servant_n to_o be_v exercise_v with_o they_o but_o 2._o suppose_v affliction_n to_o be_v punishment_n yet_o let_v the_o best_a man_n that_o ever_o labour_v under_o the_o severe_a of_o they_o but_o look_v into_o himself_o and_o he_o will_v find_v abundant_a cause_n to_o acquit_v the_o justice_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v none_o righteous_a that_o sin_n not_o the_o just_a man_n fall_v seven_o time_n a_o day_n the_o very_o best_a of_o mere_a man_n have_v many_o fail_n be_v guilty_a of_o many_o sin_n which_o if_o god_n shall_v deal_v rigorous_o with_o they_o will_v make_v they_o just_o liable_a to_o eternal_a damnation_n be_v god_n then_o unjust_a in_o punish_v those_o that_o offend_v and_o deserve_v punishment_n in_o punish_v those_o with_o temporal_a calamity_n that_o deserve_v eternal_a nay_o be_v he_o not_o very_o good_a and_o merciful_a in_o chastise_v they_o here_o for_o their_o sin_n and_o not_o reserve_v they_o for_o the_o dreadful_a account_n of_o the_o other_o world_n so_o that_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o affliction_n that_o they_o be_v not_o always_o punishment_n and_o the_o demerit_n of_o the_o best_a of_o man_n that_o though_o they_o be_v punishment_n yet_o they_o deserve_v much_o worse_o it_o can_v be_v no_o impeachment_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o goodness_n that_o he_o permit_v good_a man_n to_o be_v afflict_v in_o this_o world_n especial_o since_o 3._o he_o have_v appoint_v a_o day_n wherein_o he_o will_v abundant_o recompense_v all_o the_o trouble_n and_o sorrow_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o pious_a man_n with_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o full_a of_o glory_n when_o all_o the_o pressure_n and_o injury_n he_o labour_v under_o here_o shall_v add_v weight_n and_o lustre_n to_o that_o never-fading_a crown_n which_o be_v reserve_v for_o he_o in_o the_o heaven_n 2._o as_o it_o be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o god_n justice_n and_o goodness_n to_o suffer_v good_a man_n to_o be_v afflict_v so_o neither_o be_v it_o to_o suffer_v bad_a man_n to_o be_v prosperous_a here_o for_o 1._o as_o affliction_n be_v not_o always_o punishment_n so_o prosperity_n be_v not_o always_o a_o blessing_n to_o
