have_v practise_v it_o thorough_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o most_o can_v well_o enough_o confess_v that_o disease_n death_n and_o other_o misery_n as_o war_n plague_n famine_n and_o all_o

run_v astray_o from_o he_o and_o now_o with_o a_o rough_a bit_n he_o rain_v we_o he_o shake_v his_o rod_n at_o we_o yea_o he_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v it_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o stoop_v under_o his_o hand_n but_o contrariwise_o how_o deal_v we_o in_o that_o behalf_n if_o a_o man_n be_v afflict_v any_o way_n either_o in_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o good_n of_o his_o liberty_n of_o his_o

have_v offend_v god_n he_o will_v easy_o grant_v it_o to_o be_v true_a but_o he_o have_v no_o true_a remorse_n to_o restrain_v himself_o wherefore_o because_o we_o have_v but_o a_o confuse_a conceit_n

that_o think_v upon_o the_o lord_n we_o see_v that_o all_o be_v out_o of_o order_n to_o our_o seem_n yet_o we_o consider_v not_o that_o god_n guide_v the_o stern_a when_o we_o see_v such_o

lively_a picture_n that_o on_o what_o side_n soever_o man_n be_v afflict_v it_o become_v he_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o to_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o especial_o if_o a_o whole_a

as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psal_n 51.11_o that_o a_o sorrowful_a heart_n or_o a_o heart_n cast_v down_o be_v a_o pleasant_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n if_o our_o tear_n sigh_n pant_n and_o groan_n
