the_o sin_n which_o be_v commit_v in_o all_o the_o evil_n which_o be_v do_v either_o by_o ourselves_o or_o other_o we_o lay_v all_o the_o blame_n on_o ourselves_o or_o they_o not_o impute_v the_o

therefore_o any_o evil_n come_v we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o do_v not_o charge_n god_n foolish_o job_n 1.22_o but_o remember_v that_o we_o have_v procure_v these_o thing_n to_o ourselves_o as_o the_o prophet_n tell_v the_o people_n jer._n 2.17_o sin_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o sorrow_n all_o the_o evil_a of_o suffer_v arise_v from_o the_o evil_a of_o finning_n and_o this_o arise_v only_o from_o ourselves_o yea_o though_o sometime_o we_o suffer_v many_o evil_n altogether_o unjust_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o man_n yet_o as_o they_o come_v from_o god_n who_o guide_v all_o the_o action_n of_o

the_o evil_n which_o come_v upon_o he_o hence_o it_o follow_v conclu_n 2_o that_o we_o ought_v with_o all_o reverence_n to_o admire_v and_o to_o adore_v the_o infinite_a wisdom_n justice_n and_o

therefore_o have_v we_o in_o way_n of_o admiration_n to_o cry_v out_o with_o the_o apostle_n oh_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o riches_n both_o of_o the_o wisdom_n and_o ounsell_n of_o god_n unsearchable_a
