immoderate_o in_o his_o own_o private_a comfort_n when_o the_o church_n be_v in_o affliction_n when_o the_o public_a suffer_v grievous_a and_o hard_a trouble_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v then_o

mercy_n be_v the_o aggravation_n of_o private_a discontent_n as_o so_o of_o public_a discontent_n too_o if_o we_o receive_v so_o many_o public_a mercy_n yet_o if_o every_o thing_n go_v not_o in_o the_o public_a according_a as_o we_o desire_v if_o we_o be_v discontent_a at_o that_o it_o will_v exceed_o aggravate_v our_o sin_n god_n may_v say_v what_o shall_v i_o bestow_v such_o mercy_n upon_o a_o people_n and_o yet_o if_o they_o have_v not_o every_o thing_n they_o will_v have_v they_o will_v be_v discontent_a oh_o its_o exceed_a evil_a so_o in_o particular_a the_o mercy_n that_o concern_v thyself_o thy_o family_n if_o thou_o will_v consider_v thou_o have_v a_o great_a many_o more_o mercy_n than_o thou_o have_v affliction_n i_o dare_v bold_o aver_v it_o concern_v any_o one_o in_o this_o

know_v what_o your_o affliction_n be_v yet_o i_o know_v what_o your_o mercy_n be_v and_o i_o know_v they_o be_v so_o great_a as_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o can_v be_v no_o affliction_n in_o this_o

the_o day_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n that_o you_o be_v not_o now_o in_o hell_n this_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n that_o you_o have_v the_o sound_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o in_o your_o ear_n that_o you_o have_v the_o use_n of_o your_o reason_n this_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n than_o your_o affliction_n that_o you_o have_v the_o use_n of_o your_o limb_n your_o sense_n that_o you_o have_v the_o health_n of_o your_o body_n health_n of_o body_n be_v a_o great_a mercy_n than_o poverty_n be_v a_o affliction_n there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o be_v rich_a but_o if_o he_o be_v wise_a if_o he_o
