respect_n thus_o you_o have_v the_o answer_n to_o that_o question_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o say_v what_o elihu_n say_v it_o be_v meet_v to_o be_v say_v

bear_v they_o according_a to_o all_o the_o rule_v before_o give_v because_o they_o come_v from_o god_n our_o affliction_n be_v god_n allotment_n we_o must_v bear_v what_o he_o appoint_v therefore_o old_a eli_n though_o he_o have_v fail_v and_o sin_v great_o and_o so_o bring_v a_o cloud_n of_o calamity_n upon_o himself_o and_o his_o family_n the_o very_a report_n whereof_o as_o samuel_n tell_v he_o will_v make_v both_o ear_n of_o every_o one_o that_o hear_v it_o to_o tingle_v yet_o he_o compose_v his_o spirit_n to_o a_o submissive_a hear_n of_o it_o upon_o this_o single_a consideration_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o that_o consideration_n to_o make_v all_o man_n submit_v for_o first_o the_o lord_n be_v supreme_a and_o therefore_o what_o he_o do_v must_v be_v bear_v second_o he_o be_v a_o father_n a_o child_n must_v bear_v what_o a_o father_n lay_v upon_o he_o and_o as_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o father_n so_o he_o be_v not_o a_o hasty_a imprudent_a or_o passionate_a father_n but_o a_o most_o wise_a and_o judicious_a father_n therefore_o it_o be_v our_o interest_n as_o well_o as_o our_o duty_n to_o bear_v his_o chastisement_n yea_o he_o be_v a_o gracious_a tender_a and_o compassionate_a father_n and_o when_o we_o know_v he_o that_o lay_v a_o hand_n of_o affliction_n upon_o we_o have_v also_o a_o heart_n full_a of_o compassion_n towards_o we_o we_o shall_v willing_o bear_v his_o hand_n second_o chastisement_n be_v to_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o manner_n direct_v because_o they_o be_v for_o our_o good_a and_o shall_v we_o not_o bear_v what_o be_v good_a for_o we_o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o say_v david_n psal_n 119.71_o that_o i_o have_v be_v afflict_v and_o so_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 12.10_o for_o they_o very_o for_o a_o few_o day_n chastened_a we_o after_o their_o own_o pleasure_n but_o he_o for_o our_o profit_n that_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o his_o holiness_n chastisement_n be_v for_o our_o profit_n and_o shall_v not_o we_o bear_v that_o which_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n if_o god_n shall_v lay_v chastisement_n on_o we_o for_o our_o hurt_n mere_o to_o vex_v we_o &_o to_o put_v we_o to_o pain_n or_o mere_o because_o he_o delight_v in_o our_o suffering_n who_o can_v bear_v they_o but_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o bear_v what_o god_n lay_v upon_o we_o because_o he_o do_v it_o for_o our_o good_a and_o profit_n three_o we_o must_v bear_v chastisement_n in_o the_o manner_n show_v because_o unless_o we_o bear_v they_o so_o they_o will_v do_v we_o no_o good_a or_o we_o shall_v have_v no_o profit_n by_o they_o and_o that_o be_v a_o misery_n indeed_o to_o bear_v smart_n and_o find_v no_o advantage_n come_v in_o by_o it_o to_o drink_v gall_n and_o to_o have_v no_o sweetness_n come_v out_o of_o it_o to_o endure_v loss_n and_o to_o have_v no_o kind_n of_o profit_n by_o it_o be_v very_o grievous_a now_o what_o ever_o chastisement_n be_v lay_v upon_o any_o it_o do_v they_o no_o good_a and_o they_o can_v have_v no_o profit_n by_o it_o unless_o they_o bear_v it_o as_o be_v before_o describe_v it_o be_v not_o the_o bare_a be_v afflict_v that_o do_v we_o good_a but_o it_o be_v the_o wise_a management_n or_o the_o skilful_a bear_n of_o it_o that_o do_v we_o good_a and_o therefore_o we_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 12.11_o when_o he_o have_v say_v there_o be_v no_o affliction_n joyous_a for_o the_o present_a but_o grievous_a add_v nevertheless_o afterward_o it_o yield_v the_o peaceable_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n but_o to_o who_o what_o to_o every_o one_o that_o be_v afflict_v have_v they_o these_o sweet_a fruit_n no_o but_o to_o they_o that_o be_v exercise_v thereby_o affliction_n bring_v no_o sweet_a fruit_n to_o they_o that_o have_v they_o unless_o they_o be_v exercise_v by_o they_o how_o exercise_v affliction_n exercise_v every_o one_o that_o have_v they_o they_o be_v to_o all_o a_o passive_a exercise_n but_o to_o be_v exercise_v note_v here_o a_o active_a exercise_n they_o who_o gracious_o exercise_v themselves_o in_o affliction_n shall_v without_o doubt_n find_v benefit_n and_o fruit_n by_o affliction_n but_o some_o may_v say_v what_o be_v it_o to_o be_v thus_o exercise_v by_o affliction_n i_o answer_v for_o the_o open_n of_o that_o scripture_n to_o be_v exercise_v be_v first_o to_o be_v much_o in_o search_v our_o own_o heart_n and_o way_n or_o how_o it_o
