in_o the_o world_n god_n comfort_v rachel_n concern_v her_o child_n that_o herod_n murder_v in_o the_o stead_n and_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o christ._n he_o bid_v she_o refrain_v herself_o from_o tear_n by_o this_o promise_n that_o her_o child_n shall_v come_v again_o from_o the_o land_n of_o the_o enemy_n from_o death_n and_o again_o say_v he_o thy_o child_n shall_v come_v again_o to_o their_o own_o border_n which_o i_o think_v if_o it_o be_v mean_v in_o a_o gospel_n sense_n must_v be_v to_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n compare_v jer._n 31.15_o with_o matt._n 2.18_o and_o methinks_v this_o shall_v be_v mention_v not_o only_o for_o she_o and_o their_o sake_n but_o to_o comfort_v all_o those_o that_o either_o have_v have_v or_o yet_o may_v have_v their_o child_n thus_o suffer_v for_o righteousness_n none_o of_o these_o thing_n as_o shall_v be_v further_o show_v anon_o happen_v without_o the_o determinate_a counsel_n of_o god_n he_o have_v order_v the_o suffering_n of_o little_a child_n as_o well_o as_o that_o of_o person_n more_o in_o year_n and_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o think_v that_o god_n can_v as_o well_o foresee_v which_o of_o his_o elect_a shall_v suffer_v by_o violent_a hand_n in_o their_o infancy_n as_o which_o of_o they_o shall_v then_o die_v a_o natural_a death_n he_o have_v saint_n small_a in_o age_n as_o well_o as_o in_o esteem_n or_o otherwise_o and_o sometime_o the_o least_o member_n of_o the_o body_n suffer_v violence_n as_o well_o as_o the_o head_n or_o other_o chief_a part_n and_o although_o i_o desire_v not_o to_o see_v these_o day_n
