A93751	A sermon on Phil. IV., 11, 12. For I have learned in whatsoever state I am in therewith to be content I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound; every where, and in all things, I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.	Stafford, Richard, 1663-1703.	1698 (1698)	Wing S5131A; ESTC R230357	23,094	32

a_o sermon_n on_o phil._n iu._n 11_o 12._o for_o i_o have_v learned_a in_o whatsoever_o state_n i_o be_o in_o therewith_o to_o be_v content_a i_o know_v both_o how_o to_o be_v abase_v and_o i_o know_v how_o to_o abound_v every_o where_o and_o in_o all_o thing_n i_o be_o instruct_v both_o to_o be_v full_a and_o to_o be_v hungry_a both_o to_o abound_v and_o to_o suffer_v need_n these_o latter_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v chief_o and_o immediate_o relate_v to_o that_o two_o fold_v condition_n of_o life_n prosperity_n or_o adversity_n plenty_n or_o poverty_n in_o the_o one_o of_o which_o all_o people_n be_v in_o or_o in_o a_o even_o middle_a state_n between_o they_o both_o and_o therefore_o by_o god_n assistance_n which_o i_o do_v humble_o and_o earnest_o pray_v for_o o_o send_v out_o thy_o light_n and_o thy_o truth_n let_v they_o lead_v i_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o treat_v of_o they_o under_o this_o limitation_n and_o restriction_n that_o we_o may_v know_v how_o to_o demean_v behave_v and_o carry_v ourselves_o either_o in_o prosperity_n or_o adversity_n either_o in_o plenty_n or_o under_o poverty_n or_o in_o that_o even_o middle_a state_n and_o condition_n between_o they_o both_o so_o that_o every_o where_o and_o in_o all_o thing_n we_o may_v be_v instruct_v both_o to_o be_v full_a and_o to_o be_v hungry_a both_o to_o abound_v and_o to_o suffer_v need_n when_o i_o have_v feel_v and_o experience_v within_o myself_o some_o covet_n and_o aspire_n above_o my_o present_a condition_n i_o have_v check_v the_o same_o again_o with_o this_o thought_n and_o

of_o the_o sort_n of_o outward_a thing_n as_o i_o have_v have_v throughout_o all_o my_o past_a life_n and_o yet_o i_o have_v right_a unto_o and_o i_o both_o know_v and_o have_v often_o reason_v
