psal_n 50._o if_o he_o be_v hungry_a he_o need_v not_o tell_v we_o he_o can_v go_v to_o his_o own_o store_n it_o be_v no_o wrong_a to_o dispose_v what_o be_v our_o own_o wheresoever_o we_o find_v it_o that_o rule_n be_v as_o true_a in_o revocation_n as_o distribution_n friend_n i_o do_v thou_o no_o wrong_n mat._n 20.15_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o do_v what_o i_o will_v with_o my_o own_o though_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o man_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o injustice_n in_o god_n because_o he_o take_v nothing_o from_o we_o but_o what_o he_o give_v we_o and_o have_v full_a power_n to_o recall_v and_o take_v away_o second_o suppose_v man_n can_v say_v that_o what_o he_o have_v be_v his_o own_o that_o his_o riches_n be_v his_o own_o that_o health_n and_o strength_n of_o body_n be_v his_o own_o yet_o god_n may_v take_v they_o away_o and_o do_v no_o wrong_n it_o be_v so_o among_o man_n king_n and_o state_n call_v out_o their_o subject_n to_o war_n and_o in_o that_o war_n their_o wound_n be_v multiply_v without_o any_o cause_n give_v by_o they_o they_o give_v no_o occasion_n why_o they_o shall_v be_v appoint_v to_o such_o hazard_n of_o life_n and_o limb_n to_o such_o

some_o noble_a enterprise_n and_o design_n to_o send_v he_o upon_o to_o you_o it_o be_v give_v to_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n say_v the_o apostle_n phil._n 1.29_o he_o put_v it_o among_o the_o special_a privilege_n which_o some_o saint_n be_v grace_v with_o not_o only_o above_o the_o world_n but_o above_o many_o of_o the_o saint_n to_o who_o it_o be_v give_v and_o that_o be_v a_o royal_a

line_n of_o man_n this_o be_v no_o injustice_n much_o less_o be_v it_o injustice_n in_o god_n who_o be_v without_o line_n himself_o be_v the_o only_a line_n and_o rule_v to_o himself_o and_o to_o all_o beside_o himself_o three_o i_o may_v answer_v it_o thus_o though_o the_o lord_n multiply_v wound_n without_o cause_n yet_o he_o do_v it_o without_o wrong_n to_o the_o wound_a because_o he_o wound_v with_o a_o intent_n to_o heal_v and_o take_v away_o with_o a_o purpose_n to_o give_v more_o as_o in_o the_o present_a case_n god_n make_v job_n a_o amends_o for_o all_o the_o wound_n whether_o of_o his_o body_n or_o good_n good_a name_n or_o spirit_n now_o though_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n in_o respect_n of_o man_n that_o we_o may_v not_o break_v another_o head_n and_o say_v we_o will_v give_v he_o a_o plaster_n or_o take_v away_o from_o a_o man_n his_o possession_n and_o say_v we_o will_v give_v it_o he_o again_o yet_o god_n may_v man_n must_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a with_o man_n because_o he_o have_v no_o right_a to_o take_v away_o and_o wound_n nor_o be_v he_o sure_a that_o he_o can_v restore_v and_o heal_v but_o it_o be_v no_o boldness_n but_o a_o due_a right_n in_o god_n to_o do_v thus_o for_o he_o as_o lord_n have_v power_n to_o take_v away_o and_o ability_n to_o restore_v and_o he_o restore_v sometime_o in_o temporal_n as_o to_o job_n but_o always_o to_o his_o people_n in_o spiritual_n and_o eternal_o hence_o the_o apostle_n argue_v 2_o cor._n 4.17_o our_o light_a affliction_n which_o be_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n work_n for_o we_o a_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n affliction_n work_n glory_n for_o we_o not_o in_o a_o way_n of_o merit_a glory_n but_o in_o a_o tendency_n to_o the_o receive_n of_o glory_n and_o in_o preparation_n for_o it_o there_o be_v no_o
