of_o this_o his_o mercy_n the_o apostle_n make_v we_o secure_a when_o he_o call_v god_n the_o father_n of_o 13_o mercy_n and_o god_n of_o all_o consolation_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o only_o a_o father_n of_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o but_o a_o most_o merciful_a father_n and_o most_o ready_a to_o comfort_v his_o child_n for_o he_o take_v away_o and_o ease_v they_o of_o the_o misery_n of_o their_o affliction_n and_o tribulation_n which_o he_o judge_v fit_a to_o deliver_v they_o from_o and_o in_o that_o respect_n show_v himself_o a_o father_n of_o mercy_n and_o in_o those_o misery_n

how_o to_o comfort_v his_o in_o every_o kind_n of_o tribulation_n which_o certain_o the_o world_n can_v do_v because_o it_o ofttimes_o understand_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o affliction_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o job_n 2._o call_v his_o friend_n miserable_a comforter_n because_o they_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o disease_n and_o misapply_v the_o cure_n or_o else_o sometime_o the_o tribulation_n be_v so_o great_a that_o no_o humane_a comfort_n can_v assuage_v it_o but_o god_n be_v a_o most_o wise_a and_o omnipotent_a physician_n he_o can_v cure_v any_o disease_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o he_o comfort_v 3_o we_o in_o all_o our_o tribulation_n 2._o second_o god_n be_v call_v god_n of_o all_o consolation_n because_o he_o know_v how_o to_o comfort_v we_o so_o plentiful_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o suffer_v tribulation_n with_o such_o comfort_n then_o to_o want_v both_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o martyrdom_n therefore_o no_o

of_o god_n who_o need_v none_o of_o our_o good_n and_o yet_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o his_o love_n be_v so_o solicitous_a of_o his_o poor_a servant_n as_o if_o all_o his_o good_a depend_v
