into_o the_o world_n in_o this_o word_n of_o god_n we_o find_v a_o account_n not_o only_o of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o our_o life_n but_o of_o all_o the_o other_o good_n we_o possess_v which_o belong_v unto_o the_o present_a state_n that_o the_o possession_n we_o have_v of_o they_o be_v very_o precarious_a and_o that_o of_o a_o sudden_a we_o may_v very_o many_o way_n be_v put_v out_o of_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o those_o thing_n we_o esteem_v most_o have_v keep_v long_a and_o be_v most_o secure_a of_o but_o though_o the_o way_n of_o turn_v we_o out_o of_o what_o we_o have_v be_v many_o yet_o the_o holy_a scripture_n give_v we_o good_a assurance_n that_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v dispossess_v of_o the_o least_o good_a without_o the_o appointment_n or_o licence_n of_o providence_n that_o as_o we_o may_v not_o set_v our_o heart_n upon_o any_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n which_o we_o have_v so_o we_o may_v bear_v loss_n quiet_o and_o without_o ruffle_v the_o peace_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o make_v any_o abatement_n of_o our_o love_n of_o god_n may_v submit_v to_o every_o change_n in_o our_o condition_n with_o the_o patience_n of_o job_n yield_v back_o to_o the_o lord_n what_o he_o have_v give_v sometime_o the_o scripture_n discourse_n of_o the_o strange_a change_n which_o be_v make_v in_o kingdom_n how_o god_n pull_v man_n down_o and_o sets_z other_o up_o by_o unlikely_a mean_n and_o when_o they_o least_o expect_v it_o and_o that_o in_o a_o instant_n he_o strip_v they_o of_o their_o vast_a possession_n when_o their_o power_n and_o plenty_n have_v thrust_v he_o out_o of_o all_o their_o thought_n and_o they_o place_v their_o security_n in_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o do_v not_o attribute_v to_o his_o providence_n the_o glory_n of_o their_o greatness_n of_o the_o wonderful_a effect_n of_o providence_n we_o have_v unquestionable_a example_n in_o all_o age_n wherein_o the_o motion_n of_o god_n hand_n have_v be_v so_o visible_a that_o necessity_n will_v compel_v man_n to_o ascribe_v they_o to_o he_o how_o frequent_o have_v the_o interposition_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n be_v clear_o manifest_a in_o the_o rise_n and_o declension_n of_o kingdom_n and_o in_o the_o surprise_v period_n which_o have_v be_v put_v to_o mighty_a empire_n by_o small_a and_o improbable_a cause_n notwithstanding_o they_o be_v found_v in_o deep_a policy_n and_o have_v be_v of_o long_a continuance_n he_o in_o a_o moment_n break_v the_o firm_a frame_n of_o thing_n and_o turn_v up_o the_o foundation_n which_o be_v lay_v by_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o

so_o that_o god_n will_v no_o long_o endure_v the_o abuse_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o the_o bold_a affront_n which_o be_v put_v upon_o his_o love_n and_o kindness_n then_o destruction_n come_v swift_o
