for_o this_o be_v the_o vile_a nature_n of_o discontentment_n to_o lessen_v every_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o make_v those_o mercy_n they_o have_v from_o god_n to_o be_v as_o nothing_o to_o they_o because_o they_o have_v not_o what_o they_o will_v have_v sometime_o it_o be_v so_o even_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n if_o they_o have_v not_o all_o they_o will_v have_v the_o comfort_n that_o they_o

this_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v nothing_o to_o a_o discontent_a heart_n that_o have_v not_o all_o that_o it_o will_v have_v and_o so_o for_o outward_a blessing_n though_o god_n have_v

in_o blessing_n his_o name_n for_o what_o mercy_n he_o have_v grant_v unto_o you_o there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o of_o you_o who_o be_v in_o the_o low_a condition_n but_o you_o have_v abundance_n of_o

the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o very_a fine_a speech_n of_o his_o to_o extenuate_v evil_a thing_n and_o to_o amplyfie_v good_a thing_n if_o there_o fall_v out_o a_o cross_n to_o make_v the_o cross_n to_o be_v but_o little_a but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o make_v the_o mercy_n to_o be_v great_a as_o thus_o if_o there_o be_v a_o cross_n if_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n prevail_v in_o the_o heart_n such_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n will_v wonder_v that_o it_o be_v no_o great_a and_o will_v bless_v god_n that_o though_o there_o be_v such_o a_o cross_n yet_o that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o mercy_n wonder_n at_o god_n goodness_n that_o god_n grant_v so_o great_a a_o mercy_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n extenuate_v evil_n and_o cross_n and_o do_v magnify_v and_o amplify_v all_o mercy_n and_o make_v all_o mercy_n seem_v to_o be_v great_a and_o all_o affliction_n seem_v to_o be_v little_a but_o say_v he_o the_o devil_n go_v quite_o contrary_a the_o rhetoric_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v quite_o otherwise_o he_o do_v lessen_v god_n mercy_n and_o amplify_v evil_a thing_n as_o thus_o a_o godly_a man_n wonder_n at_o his_o cross_n that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o a_o wicked_a man_n wonder_v his_o cross_n be_v so_o much_o oh_o say_v he_o none_o be_v ever_o so_o afflict_v as_o i_o be_o if_o there_o be_v a_o cross_n the_o devil_n put_v the_o soul_n upon_o muse_v on_o it_o and_o make_v it_o great_a than_o it_o be_v and_o so_o it_o bring_v discontent_a and_o then_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o there_o be_v a_o mercy_n then_o it_o be_v the_o rhetoric_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o lessen_v the_o mercy_n i_o indeed_o say_v he_o the_o thing_n be_v a_o good_a thing_n but_o what_o be_v it_o it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n and_o for_o all_o this_o i_o may_v be_v miserable_a thus_o the_o rhetoric_n of_o satan_n do_v lessen_v god_n mercy_n and_o do_v increase_v affliction_n and_o for_o this_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o notable_a example_n that_o we_o have_v in_o scripture_n it_o be_v the_o example_n of_o korah_n dathan_n &_o abiram_n in_o numb_a 16.12_o 13._o and_o moses_n send_v to_o call_v

yet_o when_o i_o see_v this_o though_o you_o be_v a_o mere_a stranger_n to_o i_o i_o may_v without_o breach_n of_o charity_n conclude_v that_o your_o heart_n be_v immoderate_o set_v upon_o your_o

in_o your_o name_n your_o heart_n be_v inordinate_o set_v upon_o your_o name_n and_o credit_n now_o therefore_o the_o way_n for_o you_o not_o to_o be_v immoderate_a in_o your_o sorrow_n for_o affliction_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v immoderate_a in_o your_o love_n and_o delight_n when_o you_o have_v prosperity_n and_o these_o be_v the_o principal_a direction_n for_o our_o help_n that_o we_o
