we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v note_v in_o that_o challenge_n 1._o that_o the_o godly_a be_v subject_a to_o all_o those_o evil_n that_o the_o apostle_n there_o reckon_v up_o he_o reckon_v up_o seven_o in_o all_o and_o still_o that_o which_o come_v after_o aggravate_v that_o which_o go_v before_o tribulation_n or_o trouble_n that_o be_v the_o first_o but_o to_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o in_o anguish_n too_o in_o anguish_n to_o be_v drive_v into_o persecution_n and_o banishment_n in_o banishment_n to_o suffer_v hunger_n and_o nakedness_n with_o these_o to_o be_v in_o continual_a peril_n and_o danger_n after_o all_o to_o die_v violent_o by_o the_o sword_n these_o be_v great_a evil_n all_o of_o they_o and_o all_o of_o they_o exceed_v one_o another_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a the_o godly_a be_v subject_a to_o all_o of_o they_o 2._o that_o in_o these_o evil_n the_o main_a end_n that_o the_o devil_n aim_v at_o be_v to_o separate_v god_n from_o we_o and_o we_o from_o god_n as_o may_v plain_o be_v see_v in_o job_n case_n where_o the_o devil_n lay_v all_o the_o load_n he_o can_v upon_o he_o and_o all_o to_o set_v god_n and_o he_o at_o variance_n to_o make_v he_o to_o blaspheme_v god_n and_o god_n to_o forsake_v he_o 3._o that_o yet_o the_o anchor_n of_o our_o safety_n be_v so_o firm_o cast_v as_o that_o no_o such_o tempest_n as_o these_o shall_v ever_o cause_v such_o a_o shipwreck_n in_o vain_a shall_v the_o devil_n ever_o labour_v by_o any_o of_o these_o cord_n to_o pull_v god_n and_o we_o asunder_o they_o shall_v not_o

the_o fire_n of_o their_o love_n god_n on_o the_o other_o side_n for_o his_o part_n will_v never_o the_o soon_o forsake_v they_o nay_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o forsake_v his_o child_n in_o
