you_o get_v all_o you_o desire_v than_o you_o will_v be_v content_a why_o you_o may_v be_v content_a now_o without_o they_o certain_o our_o contentment_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o the_o get_n of_o the_o thing_n we_o desire_v but_o in_o god_n fashion_v our_o spirit_n to_o our_o condition_n there_o be_v some_o man_n that_o have_v not_o a_o foot_n of_o ground_n of_o their_o own_o yet_o will_v live_v better_a than_o other_o man_n that_o be_v heir_n to_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o land_n i_o have_v know_v it_o in_o the_o country_n sometime_o that_o a_o man_n live_v upon_o his_o own_o land_n and_o yet_o live_v very_o poor_o but_o you_o shall_v have_v another_o man_n that_o shall_v farm_v his_o land_n and_o yet_o by_o his_o good_a husbandry_n and_o by_o his_o care_n shall_v live_v better_o sometime_o than_o he_o that_o have_v the_o land_n of_o his_o own_o so_o a_o man_n by_o this_o art_n of_o contentment_n may_v live_v better_o without_o a_o estate_n than_o another_o man_n can_v of_o a_o estate_n oh_o it_o add_v exceed_v much_o to_o the_o comfort_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o that_o i_o may_v show_v it_o further_o there_o be_v more_o comfort_n in_o the_o grace_n of_o contentment_n than_o there_o be_v in_o any_o possession_n whatsoever_o a_o man_n have_v more_o comfort_n in_o be_v content_a without_o a_o thing_n than_o he_o can_v have_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o in_o a_o discontent_a way_n do_v desire_v you_o think_v if_o i_o have_v such_o a_o thing_n than_o i_o shall_v be_v content_a i_o say_v there_o be_v more_o good_a in_o contentment_n than_o there_o be_v in_o the_o thing_n that_o you_o will_v fain_o have_v to_o cure_v your_o discontent_n and_o that_o i_o shall_v open_v in_o divers_a particular_n as_o thus_o 1._o i_o will_v fain_o have_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o then_o i_o can_v be_v content_a but_o if_o i_o have_v it_o then_o it_o be_v but_o the_o creature_n that_o do_v help_v to_o my_o contentment_n but_o now_o it_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o my_o soul_n that_o make_v i_o content_a and_o sure_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v content_a with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o my_o soul_n than_o with_o the_o enjoy_n of_o a_o outward_a comfort_n 2._o if_o i_o have_v such_o a_o thing_n indeed_o my_o estate_n may_v be_v better_o but_o my_o soul_n will_v not_o be_v better_o but_o by_o contentment_n my_o soul_n be_v better_a that_o will_v not_o be_v better_v by_o a_o estate_n or_o land_n or_o friend_n but_o contentment_n make_v myself_o to_o be_v better_o and_o therefore_o contentment_n be_v a_o better_a portion_n than_o the_o thing_n be_v that_o i_o will_v fain_o have_v to_o be_v my_o portion_n 3._o if_o i_o get_v content_a by_o have_v my_o desire_n satisfy_v that_o be_v but_o self-love_n but_o when_o i_o be_o content_v with_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o be_o willing_a to_o be_v at_o his_o dispose_n that_o come_v from_o my_o love_n to_o god_n in_o have_v my_o desire_n satisfy_v there_o i_o be_o content_v through_o self-love_n but_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o contentment_n i_o come_v to_o be_v content_v out_o of_o love_n to_o god_n and_o be_v it_o not_o better_a to_o be_v content_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o love_n to_o god_n than_o from_o a_o principle_n of_o self-love_n 4._o if_o i_o be_o content_v because_o i_o have_v that_o that_o i_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o perhaps_o i_o be_o content_v in_o that_o one_o particular_a but_o that_o one_o particular_a do_v not_o furnish_v i_o with_o contentment_n in_o another_o thing_n perhaps_o i_o may_v grow_v more_o dainty_a and_o nice_a and_o froward_a in_o other_o thing_n if_o you_o give_v child_n what_o they_o will_v have_v in_o some_o thing_n they_o grow_v so_o much_o the_o more_o coy_a and_o dainty_a and_o discontent_v if_o they_o have_v not_o other_o thing_n that_o they_o will_v have_v but_o if_o i_o have_v once_o overcome_v my_o heart_n and_o be_o content_v through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o my_o heart_n than_o this_o do_v not_o content_v i_o only_o in_o particular_a but_o in_o general_a whatsoever_o befall_v i_o i_o be_o discontent_v and_o will_v fain_o have_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o afterward_o i_o have_v it_o now_o do_v this_o prepare_v i_o to_o be_v content_v in_o other_o thing_n no_o but_o when_o i_o have_v get_v this_o grace_n of_o contentment_n i_o be_o prepare_v to_o be_v content_v in_o all_o condition_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o contentment_n do_v bring_v comfort_n to_o a_o man_n life_n fill_v a_o man_n life_n full_a of_o comfort_n in_o this_o world_n yea_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v even_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n why_o what_o be_v heaven_n but_o the_o rest_n and_o quiet_a of_o a_o man_n spirit_n what_o be_v the_o special_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o rest_n and_o joy_n that_o make_v the_o life_n of_o heaven_n there_o be_v rest_n and_o joy_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o god_n so_o it_o be_v here_o in_o a_o content_a spirit_n there_o be_v rest_n and_o joy_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o god_n in_o heaven_n there_o be_v singing_z praise_n to_o god_n a_o content_a heart_n be_v always_o praise_v and_o blessing_n god_n thou_o have_v heaven_n while_o thou_o be_v upon_o earth_n when_o thou_o have_v a_o content_a spirit_n yea_o in_o some_o regard_v its_o better_a than_o heaven_n how_o be_v that_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o honour_n that_o god_n have_v in_o it_o and_o some_o excellency_n that_o he_o have_v not_o in_o heaven_n and_o that_o be_v this_o in_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o overcome_v of_o temptation_n they_o be_v not_o put_v to_o any_o trial_n by_o affliction_n there_o in_o heaven_n they_o have_v exercise_n of_o grace_n but_o they_o have_v nothing_o but_o encouragement_n to_o it_o and_o indeed_o those_o that_o be_v there_o their_o grace_n be_v perfect_a and_o in_o that_o they_o do_v excel_v we_o but_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o cross_v their_o grace_n they_o have_v no_o trial_n at_o all_o to_o tempt_v they_o to_o do_v contrary_a but_o now_o for_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o affliction_n temptation_n and_o trouble_n and_o yet_o to_o have_v grace_n exercise_v and_o yet_o to_o be_v satisfy_v in_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o word_n and_o promise_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o they_o suffer_v this_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o honour_n that_o god_n have_v from_o we_o that_o he_o have_v not_o from_o the_o angel_n and_o saint_n in_o heaven_n be_v it_o so_o much_o for_o one_o that_o be_v in_o heaven_n that_o have_v nothing_o else_o but_o good_a from_o god_n have_v nothing_o to_o try_v they_o no_o temptation_n be_v that_o so_o much_o for_o they_o to_o be_v praise_v and_o blessing_n god_n as_o for_o the_o poor_a soul_n that_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o trial_n and_o temptation_n and_o affliction_n and_o trouble_n for_o this_o soul_n to_o go_v on_o praise_v and_o blessing_n and_o serve_v god_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o excellency_n that_o thou_o shall_v not_o have_v in_o heaven_n and_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v this_o kind_n of_o glory_n from_o thou_o in_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o be_v content_v and_o prize_v this_o contentment_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o live_v in_o this_o world_n as_o long_o as_o god_n shall_v please_v and_o do_v not_o think_v oh_o that_o i_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o these_o affliction_n and_o trouble_n here_o in_o this_o world_n if_o thou_o be_v then_o thou_o shall_v have_v more_o ease_n to_o thyself_o but_o here_o be_v a_o way_n of_o honour_v god_n and_o manifest_v the_o excellency_n of_o grace_n here_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o this_o conflict_n of_o temptation_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v from_o thou_o in_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o be_v satisfy_v and_o quiet_a be_v content_v with_o thy_o contentment_n i_o want_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n that_o other_o have_v but_o bless_v be_v god_n i_o have_v a_o content_a heart_n that_o other_o have_v not_o than_o i_o say_v be_v content_a with_o thy_o contentment_n for_o that_o be_v a_o rich_a portion_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v grant_v unto_o they_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v unto_o thou_o thousand_o here_o in_o this_o world_n it_o will_v not_o be_v such_o a_o rich_a portion_n as_o this_o that_o he_o have_v give_v thou_o a_o content_a spirit_n oh_o go_v away_o and_o praise_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o say_v lord_n it_o be_v true_a these_o and_o these_o comfort_n that_o other_o have_v i_o shall_v be_v glad_a if_o i_o have_v they_o but_o thou_o have_v cut_v i_o short_a but_o though_o i_o want_v these_o yet_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o that_o that_o be_v

you_o perceive_v that_o your_o servant_n do_v steal_v away_o the_o heart_n of_o your_o child_n you_o will_v hardly_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o you_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o turn_v away_o such_o
