of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v there_o be_v a_o singular_a discretion_n &_o modesty_n require_v both_o in_o the_o teacher_n and_o the_o hearer_n for_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o lofty_a and_o transcend_v so_o far_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n that_o as_o a_o godly_a pastor_n have_v say_v it_o be_v much_o more_o easy_a to_o describe_v and_o understand_v the_o way_n to_o heaven_n and_o eternal_a life_n nor_o to_o describe_v the_o place_n and_o life_n itself_o therefore_o when_o we_o can_v utter_v the_o dignity_n of_o the_o matter_n itself_o which_o be_v above_o our_o capacity_n we_o be_v force_v to_o speak_v by_o similitude_n and_o under_o shadow_n of_o natural_a thing_n which_o we_o can_v conceive_v that_o thereby_o the_o thing_n supernatural_a may_v be_v better_o conceive_v and_o

conceive_v any_o far_a now_o then_o when_o i_o say_v that_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v we_o shall_v be_v delight_v with_o bodily_a and_o sensual_a pleasure_n and_o that_o our_o sense_n of_o see_v

be_v many_o attribution_n common_a to_o they_o both_o we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o scripture_n mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n when_o notwithstanding_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o have_v neither_o mouth_n nor_o hand_n as_o man_n have_v but_o by_o the_o one_o be_v signify_v his_o word_n and_o by_o the_o other_o his_o power_n

be_v why_o the_o lord_n do_v so_o hardly_o entreat_v his_o servant_n in_o this_o life_n not_o only_o in_o withhold_v his_o temporal_a benefit_n from_o they_o but_o also_o in_o send_v they_o great_a

to_o make_v that_o his_o chief_a reward_n be_v not_o temporal_a but_o everlasting_a and_o that_o he_o know_v affliction_n to_o be_v good_a for_o us._n the_o other_o question_n be_v why_o the_o godly_a suffer_v patient_o these_o wrong_n which_o they_o may_v resist_v the_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o reverence_n which_o they_o bear_v to_o the_o lord_n commandment_n and_o the_o hope_n which_o they_o have_v of_o the_o reward_n promise_v which_o be_v eternal_a life_n be_v the_o very_a cause_n of_o it_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o that_o reward_n seem_v to_o the_o natural_a man_n to_o be_v far_o of_o and_o the_o passage_n thereunto_o to_o be_v fearful_a and_o difficile_a it_o be_v therefore_o show_v that_o neither_o the_o reward_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v far_o off_o nor_o yet_o death_n by_o they_o

be_v many_o 34.19_o which_o righteous_a man_n do_v suffer_v in_o this_o life_n as_o poverty_n sickness_n ignominy_n imprison_a banishment_n grief_n of_o mind_n and_o death_n of_o the_o body_n and_o these_o misery_n they_o not_o only_o suffer_v perforce_o as_o send_v by_o god_n who_o mighty_a hand_n no_o flesh_n be_v able_a to_o resist_v but_o voluntary_o they_o incur_v the_o misery_n &_o

requite_v with_o the_o like_a offence_n nevertheless_o they_o avenge_v not_o themselves_o although_o they_o may_v but_o remit_v the_o revenge_n to_o god_n now_o then_o there_o result_v here_o two_o question_n the_o one_o be_v why_o the_o lord_n see_v all_o thing_n be_v at_o his_o gift_n and_o disposition_n do_v so_o hardly_o entreat_v his_o servant_n in_o this_o life_n for_o all_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o lord_n all_o beast_n be_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n on_o the_o hill_n &_o on_o the_o mountain_n 50.10_o gold_n silver_n and_o riches_n he_o may_v give_v at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o high_a

and_o glad_a he_o have_v power_n to_o conserve_v the_o body_n in_o health_n and_o to_o prolong_v or_o abridge_v the_o day_n of_o man_n as_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o eye_n the_o other_o question_n be_v why_o righteous_a man_n do_v voluntary_o suffer_v and_o underlie_v those_o trouble_n which_o they_o may_v easy_o eschew_v and_o take_v up_o patient_o the_o reproach_n &_o wrong_n which_o they_o may_v resist_v and_o acquit_v which_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o hard_o of_o digestion_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o be_v plain_a repugnant_a to_o man_n own_o nature_n and_o inclination_n the_o first_o question_n contain_v two_o part_n the_o one_o be_v why_o god_n give_v not_o all_o kind_n of_o temporal_a benefit_n to_o his_o servant_n according_a to_o their_o heart_n desire_v the_o other_o part_n be_v why_o god_n do_v so_o miserable_o afflict_v his_o servant_n in_o this_o life_n to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o wise_a &_o discreet_a stewart_o and_o dispensator_fw-la of_o his_o benefit_n and_o see_v he_o have_v create_v and_o make_v we_o 103.14_o he_o know_v our_o strength_n and_o weakness_n 6.8_o what_o be_v most_o meet_a for_o we_o and_o how_o able_a we_o be_v to_o bear_v and_o use_v his_o gift_n and_o benefit_n therefore_o we_o may_v lay_v this_o for_o a_o sure_a ground_n that_o the_o lord_n bestow_v his_o temporal_a gift_n on_o his_o servant_n ever_o in_o such_o measure_n and_o in_o so_o far_o as_o he_o know_v they_o to_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o pilgrimage_n of_o this_o life_n and_o for_o their_o eternal_a salvation_n let_v no_o man_n then_o that_o fear_v god_n think_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v bestow_v less_o or_o more_o of_o his_o benefit_n upon_o he_o nor_o be_v expedient_a for_o the_o make_n of_o his_o journey_n &_o for_o his_o everlasting_a salvation_n which_o i_o think_v shall_v move_v every_o man_n to_o settle_v himself_o and_o to_o be_v hearty_o well_o content_a with_o the_o worldly_a gift_n which_o god_n have_v give_v he_o whether_o they_o be_v much_o or_o little_a in_o great_a measure_n or_o in_o small_a a_o other_o reason_n there_o be_v why_o the_o lord_n give_v not_o these_o worldly_a gift_n to_o his_o servant_n according_a to_o their_o manly_a heart_n desire_v because_o god_n reward_v not_o his_o own_o according_a to_o their_o worthiness_n but_o according_a to_o his_o greatness_n which_o reward_n by_o the_o self_n same_o reason_n can_v be_v worldly_a nor_o temporal_a but_o eternal_a and_o everlasting_a like_a unto_o the_o giver_n thereof_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o disposition_n of_o temporal_a benefit_n to_o the_o righteous_a i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o first_o question_n why_o the_o lord_n not_o only_o deny_v prosperity_n to_o his_o servant_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o they_o will_v wish_v but_o also_o do_v visit_v they_o with_o great_a trouble_n and_o affliction_n in_o this_o life_n the_o cause_n be_v many_o and_o divers_a wherefore_o the_o lord_n do_v afflict_v his_o own_o servant_n first_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v no_o permanent_a dwell_n or_o long_a residence_n here_o he_o visit_v we_o with_o trouble_n to_o the_o effect_n that_o our_o mind_n and_o delectation_n be_v not_o fix_v on_o earthly_a thing_n but_o rather_o shall_v be_v lift_v uppe_o to_o
