in_o tribulation_n this_o it_o be_v that_o make_v paul_n and_o silas_n rejoice_v and_o sing_v in_o prison_n true_a faith_n give_v a_o man_n many_o 25._o act._n 16._o 25._o sound_a ground_n of_o comfort_n it_o give_v a_o man_n many_o reason_n of_o solid_a rejoice_v for_o first_o it_o assure_v he_o of_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o when_o he_o once_o know_v that_o no_o affliction_n need_v trouble_v he_o son_n be_v of_o good_a comfort_n thy_o sin_n be_v forgive_v 2._o matth._n 9_o 2._o thou_o say_v christ_n to_o the_o sick_a of_o the_o palsy_n thy_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o

after_o he_o have_v once_o obtain_v it_o how_o many_o sign_n soever_o of_o god_n anger_n may_v be_v upon_o he_o and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o notable_a ground_n of_o rejoice_v when_o a_o man_n be_v by_o

god_n will_v have_v a_o tender_a respect_n to_o his_o weakness_n in_o whatsoever_o affliction_n he_o shall_v lay_v upon_o he_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o exceed_v his_o 26._o rom._n 8._o 26._o strength_n god_n will_v be_v the_o strength_n of_o his_o spirit_n god_n will_v support_v and_o enable_v he_o to_o bear_v it_o that_o he_o faint_v not_o under_o it_o god_n be_v faithful_a say_v the_o apostle_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v 13_o 1_o cor._n 10._o 13_o tempt_v above_o that_o you_o be_v able_a but_o will_v even_o give_v the_o issue_n with_o the_o temptation_n that_o

believe_v to_o see_v the_o goodness_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n and_o this_o of_o the_o first_o mean_n of_o continual_a rejoice_v if_o you_o will_v rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n always_o you_o must_v then_o get_v you_o a_o true_a justify_v faith_n a_o good_a assurance_n of_o your_o salvation_n mean_n 2_o second_o a_o second_o mean_n to_o rejoice_v always_o be_v to_o take_v care_n to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n that_o man_n that_o in_o all_o thing_n be_v careful_a to_o please_v god_n and_o to_o keep_v his_o conscience_n pure_a that_o he_o fall_v not_o into_o any_o know_a and_o grievous_a sin_n shall_v ever_o have_v a_o quiet_a and_o cheerful_a heart_n he_o may_v rejoice_v always_o our_o rejoice_v be_v this_o say_v s._n paul_n even_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o 12._o 2_o cor._n 1._o 12._o conscience_n that_o in_o simplicity_n and_o godly_a pureness_n we_o have_v have_v our_o conversation_n in_o the_o world_n this_o will_v make_v a_o man_n cheerful_a at_o all_o time_n not_o in_o prosperity_n only_o but_o even_o in_o adversity_n also_o and_o therefore_o solomon_n call_v it_o a_o continual_a feast_n and_o 15._o pro._n 15._o 15._o in_o this_o respect_n the_o apostle_n call_v righteousness_n a_o breastplate_n that_o will_v defend_v the_o heart_n even_o in_o the_o evil_a day_n will_v you_o 14._o eph._n 6._o 14._o therefore_o have_v a_o cheerful_a heart_n will_v you_o be_v comfortable_a and_o rejoice_v always_o even_o in_o affliction_n in_o the_o time_n of_o your_o sickness_n and_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o your_o death_n have_v a_o care_n then_o of_o a_o good_a conscience_n take_v heed_n of_o know_a sin_n that_o man_n only_o that_o in_o all_o thing_n be_v careful_a to_o please_v god_n and_o to_o keep_v his_o conscience_n pure_a that_o he_o fall_v not_o into_o any_o know_a and_o grievous_a sin_n shall_v have_v a_o quiet_a and_o cheerful_a heart_n he_o only_o may_v rejoice_v always_o mean_n 3_o three_o the_o three_o mean_n to_o make_v we_o rejoice_v always_o be_v to_o make_v the_o lord_n our_o treasure_n and_o not_o any_o earthly_a thing_n if_o a_o man_n do_v not_o overvalue_v these_o earthly_a comfort_n as_o namely_o husband_n wife_n friend_n child_n health_n wealth_n liberty_n peace_n etc._n etc._n nor_o account_v they_o his_o chief_a treasure_n but_o esteem_v they_o as_o they_o be_v indeed_o even_o transitory_a comfort_n and_o account_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o favour_n and_o grace_n his_o chief_a treasure_n if_o a_o man_n set_v not_o his_o heart_n on_o these_o thing_n but_o love_v they_o only_o in_o the_o lord_n then_o shall_v he_o not_o be_v oppress_v with_o immoderate_a sorrow_n for_o they_o when_o god_n shall_v take_v they_o away_o such_o a_o man_n may_v rejoice_v still_o whereas_o he_o that_o make_v these_o worldly_a thing_n his_o chief_a treasure_n and_o set_v his_o heart_n upon_o they_o he_o can_v rejoice_v always_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v oppress_v with_o sorrow_n when_o he_o shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o they_o you_o may_v see_v it_o in_o the_o example_n of_o ahab_n who_o when_o he_o can_v not_o get_v naboth_n vineyard_n his_o spirit_n be_v exceed_o sad_a he_o can_v not_o eat_v his_o bread_n and_o
