that_o the_o affliction_n be_v so_o in_o itself_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v a_o heart_n to_o carry_v patient_o under_o it_o but_o there_o be_v many_o a_o poor_a creature_n struggle_v with_o

a_o sinful_a cry_n three_o that_o be_v a_o sinful_a cry_n that_o spring_v from_o unbelief_n and_o be_v accompany_v with_o unbelief_n when_o as_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n in_o time_n of_o affliction_n shall_v give_v way_n to_o hard_a thought_n of_o god_n whatever_o cry_n be_v accompany_v with_o unbelief_n be_v a_o sinful_a cry_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o many_o they_o can_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o there_o be_v any_o love_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o and_o any_o love_n in_o such_o a_o affliction_n i_o can_v believe_v it_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v love_n

a_o sinful_a cry_n and_o so_o when_o a_o man_n can_v be_v persuade_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v make_v a_o good_a end_n with_o he_o in_o affliction_n o_o sure_a i_o shall_v perish_v one_o day_n and_o

with_o unbelieving_a despair_a thought_n concern_v god_n and_o concern_v the_o end_n of_o his_o affliction_n and_o so_o cry_v out_o in_o unbelief_n people_n this_o be_v a_o sinful_a cry_n first_o and_o again_o great_a and_o sore_a affliction_n may_v occasion_v such_o cry_n even_o sinful_a cry_n as_o the_o cry_n of_o unbelief_n and_o impatiency_n and_o that_o upon_o this_o ground_n there_o be_v remainder_n of_o corruption_n in_o the_o best_a heart_n there_o be_v sinful_a flesh_n as_o well_o as_o spirit_n second_o great_a affliction_n do_v expose_v god_n own_o people_n to_o great_a temptation_n many_o time_n they_o go_v together_o great_a affliction_n and_o great_a temptation_n for_o the_o devil_n seek_v his_o opportunity_n to_o do_v mischief_n as_o the_o lord_n wait_v to_o be_v

to_o make_v his_o people_n seek_v he_o early_o but_o now_o the_o devil_n he_o wait_v to_o make_v the_o soul_n cry_v out_o with_o a_o sinful_a cry_n and_o many_o time_n the_o lord_n suffer_v he_o to_o

let_v we_o examine_v what_o that_o cry_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v be_v which_o the_o lord_n do_v raise_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n in_o
four_o parent_n love_v their_o child_n aright_o when_o as_o they_o be_v much_o pray_v for_o their_o child_n present_v their_o child_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o pray_v for_o they_o cry_v to_o the_o
