who_o do_v not_o live_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o consequent_o can_v die_v in_o the_o lord_n such_o do_v not_o rest_v from_o their_o labour_n when_o they_o die_v but_o the_o bitter_a of_o their_o labour_n follow_v they_o even_o beyond_o the_o grave_a first_o that_o good_a man_n have_v not_o a_o rest_n from_o their_o labour_n on_o this_o side_n the_o grave_a it_o be_v true_a that_o faith_n and_o patience_n do_v much_o correct_v the_o malignity_n and_o bitterness_n of_o their_o suffering_n but_o even_o the_o best_a of_o god_n child_n have_v their_o labour_n here_o for_o who_o can_v doubt_v but_o it_o be_v a_o labour_n and_o burden_n even_o to_o a_o good_a man_n to_o be_v under_o pine_a sickness_n and_o pain_n to_o be_v subject_v to_o the_o persecution_n of_o slanderous_a tongue_n and_o pen_n to_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o estate_n liberty_n or_o country_n who_o doubt_v but_o that_o anger_n sorrow_n fear_v and_o anxiety_n of_o mind_n be_v yet_o a_o great_a burden_n and_o labour_n if_o a_o good_a man_n in_o his_o weakness_n fall_v under_o the_o impression_n of_o any_o of_o they_o so_o also_o it_o be_v no_o small_a burden_n when_o friend_n be_v miserable_a or_o

ravishment_n of_o a_o dinah_n or_o tamar_n the_o incest_n of_o a_o amnon_n or_o the_o rebellion_n of_o a_o absalon_n what_o a_o burden_n of_o heart_n to_o good_a man_n be_v their_o sorrow_n and_o fear_n for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n through_o the_o division_n of_o brethren_n and_o the_o contention_n of_o a_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n or_o through_o the_o apostasy_n of_o some_o eminent_a for_o profession_n of_o godliness_n to_o either_o damnable_a error_n or_o rend_a schism_n or_o downright_a profaneness_n and_o debauchery_n such_o labour_n and_o suffering_n also_o to_o a_o good_a man_n be_v their_o fear_n and_o sorrow_n for_o the_o land_n of_o their_o nativity_n suffer_v or_o like_v to_o suffer_v through_o war_n famine_n or_o pestilence_n and_o last_o what_o a_o labour_n and_o burden_n be_v it_o to_o a_o good_a man_n to_o be_v assault_v with_o inward_a corruption_n or_o outward_a temptation_n and_o to_o wrestle_v and_o combat_n with_o his_o spiritual_a adversary_n and_o
