occupy_v &_o instruct_v then_o he_o be_v by_o his_o tore_n with_o cratippus_n and_o this_o will_v have_v teach_v he_o that_o though_o the_o lord_n suffer_v tyrant_n to_o be_v for_o a_o time_n a_o plague_n to_o anâ—_n nation_n yet_o in_o his_o appoint_a time_n he_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o other_o tyrant_n &_o to_o have_v the_o same_o measure_n that_o they_o measure_v unto_o other_o now_o if_o we_o compare_v sennacherib_n and_o pompey_n that_o glory_v in_o this_o title_n the_o great_a which_o name_n silla_n give_v he_o for_o his_o victory_n we_o shall_v find_v many_o thing_n alike_o in_o their_o history_n both_o of_o they_o be_v a_o axe_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n to_o strike_v the_o people_n of_o the_o east_n both_o of_o they_o destroy_v palestina_n and_o afflict_v the_o people_n of_o god_n sennachetib_n besiege_v jerusalem_n pompey_n take_v it_o the_o assyrian_a be_v put_v to_o flight_n by_o a_o angel_n and_o be_v slay_v in_o his_o temple_n that_o

he_o have_v restore_v again_o to_o his_o crown_n and_o therefore_o ptolemy_n shall_v have_v be_v as_o a_o son_n unto_o pompey_n be_v there_o in_o egypt_n with_o he_o miserable_o slay_v so_o unsearchable_a be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n judgement_n for_o that_o which_o michah_n speak_v of_o the_o chaldaean_n in_o the_o 4._o chap._n of_o his_o propheste_n they_o know_v not_o the_o thoughtâ—_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o understand_v not_o his_o council_n therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v thrash_v as_o sheaf_n be_v the_o barn_n may_v be_v speak_v of_o all_o these_o giant_n and_o proud_a tyrant_n who_o for_o that_o they_o know_v it_o not_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v in_o his_o appoint_v time_n bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o their_o pride_n neither_o do_v the_o holy_a ghost_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o wicked_a only_o be_v punish_v but_o that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v also_o afflict_a though_o for_o another_o end_n and_o purpose_n and_o there_o may_v many_o reason_n be_v bring_v to_o show_v why_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v subject_a to_o so_o many_o calamity_n but_o i_o will_v at_o this_o time_n allege_v only_o three_o by_o which_o as_o by_o many_o other_o we_o may_v know_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o truth_n and_o judgement_n do_v excercise_n his_o church_n with_o affliction_n the_o first_o be_v y_fw-fr â—_o so_o long_o as_o we_o carry_v about_o with_o we_o this_o burden_n of_o corruption_n we_o be_v not_o only_o subject_a to_o sin_n but_o do_v continual_o by_o sin_v provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o deal_v in_o justice_n with_o we_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n that_o we_o be_v chasten_v of_o the_o lord_n with_o a_o fatherly_a rod_n which_o may_v keep_v we_o in_o obedience_n yea_o we_o must_v all_o say_v with_o jeremy_n in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o his_o lamentation_n verse_n 22._o it_o be_v the_o lord_n mercy_n that_o we_o be_v not_o consume_v because_o his_o compassion_n fail_v not_o my_o second_o reason_n be_v this_o it_o be_v best_a for_o we_o to_o be_v humble_v under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n for_o we_o know_v how_o fierce_a and_o haughty_a mind_v we_o be_v by_o nature_n so_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o that_o god_n keep_v we_o under_o his_o school_n and_o so_o have_v we_o in_o some_o awe_n therefore_o david_n say_v in_o the_o 1._o 19_o psal_n ver_fw-la 67._o before_o i_o be_v afflict_v i_o go_v astrav_fw-mi but_o now_o i_o keep_v thy_o word_n &_o ver_fw-la 71._o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o that_o i_o have_v be_v afflict_v that_o i_o may_v learn_v thy_o statute_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v deliver_v by_o paul_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n the_o 11._o chapter_n vers_fw-la 32._o when_o we_o be_v judge_v we_o be_v chasten_v of_o the_o lord_n because_o we_o will_v not_o be_v condemn_v with_o the_o world_n therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v this_o whole_a discourse_n with_o moses_n thus_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v true_a and_o righteous_a neither_o let_v we_o measure_v they_o according_a to_o our_o own_o conceit_n &_o judgement_n which_o be_v very_o deceivable_a but_o let_v we_o know_v that_o the_o godly_a be_v punish_v for_o their_o sin_n they_o daily_o commit_v that_o they_o may_v be_v humble_v and_o that_o they_o perish_v not_o with_o the_o wicked_a but_o god_n in_o punish_v the_o wicked_a do_v show_v &_o open_v the_o treasure_n of_o his_o long_a sufferance_n patience_n and_o justice_n but_o when_o he_o afflict_v we_o he_o make_v we_o like_a to_o his_o own_o son_n christ_n and_o stir_v up_o in_o we_o a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n let_v we_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n give_v ourselves_o to_o hearty_a and_o earnest_a prayer_n pray_v continual_o with_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n come_v lord_n jesus_n yea_o come_v quick_o amen_o amen_o
do_v most_o set_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n it_o do_v shine_v in_o every_o place_n so_o that_o it_o shine_v often_o upon_o the_o dunghill_n and_o though_o the_o beam_n thereof_o do_v heat_n the_o dunghill_n as_o they_o do_v all_o other_o place_n and_o thing_n which_o they_o pierce_v yet_o for_o all_o that_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o pollute_v with_o the_o defilement_n and_o uncleanness_n of_o it_o neither_o do_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n mingle_v itself_o with_o those_o thing_n which_o it_o pierce_v when_o one_o lay_v this_o in_o diogenes_n his_o dish_n that_o he_o go_v into_o a_o stew_n or_o brothel-house_n why_o say_v he_o the_o sun_n come_v thither_o also_o and_o yet_o be_v not_o defile_v therewith_o thereby_o show_v y_z t_o a_o wise_a &_o godly_a man_n though_o he_o enter_v into_o unclean_a and_o filthy_a place_n and_o come_v into_o the_o company_n of_o filthy_a person_n do_v not_o forthwith_o â—oâ—nâ—_n himself_o to_o their_o filthiness_n neither_o be_v infect_v with_o their_o vice_n if_o therefore_o this_o philosopher_n can_v enter_v into_o the_o stew_n and_o come_v forth_o again_o unspotted_a with_o their_o uncleanness_n so_o that_o their_o filthiness_n can_v not_o fasten_v upon_o he_o much_o less_o be_v god_n who_o nature_n be_v most_o pure_a and_o simple_a in_o govern_v of_o his_o creature_n infect_v with_o their_o filthiness_n there_o be_v a_o three_o objection_n which_o they_o thus_o frame_v every_o wise_a and_o good_a governor_n unless_o he_o be_v great_o hinder_v bring_v his_o work_n that_o he_o framâ—th_v and_o that_o thing_n that_o he_o rule_v to_o a_o good_a perfect_a and_o wish_a end_n this_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o many_o example_n as_o by_o the_o example_n of_o a_o skilful_a pilot_n who_o direct_v &_o bring_v his_o ship_n to_o the_o purpose_a haven_n and_o such_o like_a but_o nothing_o can_v let_v god_n from_o perfect_v his_o work_n &_o yet_o many_o of_o his_o creature_n as_o many_o monster_n mad_a man_n lame_a be_v imperfect_a therefore_o god_n rule_v not_o every_o generation_n and_o conception_n to_o unlose_v this_o knot_n we_o must_v remember_v this_o this_o tinction_n of_o order_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o order_n or_o course_n y_o e_o god_n take_v in_o govern_v all_o thing_n the_o one_o of_o they_o we_o may_v call_v ordinary_a which_o god_n do_v often_o use_v the_o other_o extraordinary_a with_o which_o order_n though_o we_o be_v not_o acquaint_v yet_o do_v god_n himself_o know_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o so_o work_v &_o yet_o of_o this_o may_v we_o not_o conclude_v that_o god_n in_o his_o work_n be_v contrary_n to_o himself_o for_o if_o so_o we_o there_o appear_v some_o diversity_n and_o difference_n in_o the_o government_n of_o all_o thing_n by_o god_n certain_o that_o difference_n be_v not_o of_o god_n rule_n but_o of_o the_o unstable_a judgement_n of_o our_o trouble_a mind_n for_o god_n work_n be_v not_o to_o be_v balance_v by_o our_o judgement_n which_o be_v deceivable_a and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n untrue_a augustine_n propose_v the_o example_n of_o two_o child_n one_o of_o which_o be_v dutiful_a and_o love_a to_o his_o father_n the_o other_o be_v a_o wicked_a stubborn_a child_n both_o their_o father_n be_v deadly_a sick_a the_o good_a child_n pray_v earnest_o unto_o god_n to_o deliver_v his_o father_n from_o his_o sickness_n y_fw-es â—_o graceless_a graft_n think_v every_o hour_n twenty_o until_o his_o father_n be_v breathless_a both_o their_o father_n die_v &_o that_o according_a to_o god_n appointment_n and_o direction_n but_o now_o that_o child_n that_o pray_v for_o the_o prolong_n of_o his_o father_n life_n high_o please_v god_n and_o yet_o it_o please_v not_o god_n that_o his_o father_n shall_v live_v any_o long_o and_o again_o that_o child_n that_o long_v for_o his_o father_n death_n as_o high_o displease_v god_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v god_n pleasure_n that_o his_o father_n too_o shall_v die_v how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o that_o which_o plâ—aseth_v god_n may_v displease_v he_o also_o and_o that_o which_o displease_v he_o please_v he_o as_o he_o be_v please_v with_o the_o good_a child_n kindness_n but_o not_o please_v that_o his_o father_n shall_v liveâ—â—nd_v again_o displease_v with_o the_o unnatural_a part_n of_o the_o lewd_a child_n &_o yet_o please_v with_o his_o father_n death_n sure_o there_o be_v in_o god_n a_o certain_a secret_a ordinance_n which_o yet_o be_v just_a and_o a_o certain_a ordinance_n open_a and_o manifest_v which_o also_o be_v righteous_a but_o certain_a idle_a companion_n to_o draw_v both_o augustine_n and_o we_o into_o hatred_n for_o this_o doctrine_n object_n against_o we_o that_o they_o can_v perceive_v in_o god_n this_o double_a
