why_o righteous_a man_n do_v voluntary_o suffer_v and_o underlie_v those_o trouble_n which_o they_o may_v easy_o eschew_v and_o take_v up_o patient_o the_o reproach_n &_o wrong_n which_o they_o may_v resist_v and_o acquit_v which_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o hard_o of_o digestion_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o be_v plain_a repugnant_a to_o man_n own_o nature_n and_o inclination_n the_o first_o question_n contain_v two_o part_n the_o one_o be_v why_o god_n give_v not_o all_o kind_n of_o temporal_a benefit_n to_o his_o servant_n according_a to_o their_o heart_n desire_v the_o other_o part_n be_v why_o god_n do_v so_o miserable_o afflict_v his_o servant_n in_o this_o life_n to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o wise_a &_o discreet_a stewart_o and_o dispensator_fw-la of_o his_o benefit_n and_o see_v he_o have_v create_v and_o make_v we_o 103.14_o he_o know_v our_o strength_n and_o weakness_n 6.8_o what_o be_v most_o meet_a for_o we_o and_o how_o able_a we_o be_v to_o bear_v and_o use_v his_o gift_n and_o benefit_n therefore_o we_o may_v lay_v this_o for_o a_o sure_a ground_n that_o the_o lord_n bestow_v his_o temporal_a gift_n on_o his_o servant_n ever_o in_o such_o measure_n and_o in_o so_o far_o as_o he_o know_v they_o to_o be_v needful_a for_o the_o pilgrimage_n of_o this_o life_n and_o for_o their_o eternal_a salvation_n let_v no_o man_n then_o that_o fear_v god_n think_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v bestow_v less_o or_o more_o of_o his_o benefit_n upon_o he_o nor_o be_v expedient_a for_o the_o make_n of_o his_o journey_n &_o for_o his_o everlasting_a salvation_n which_o i_o think_v shall_v move_v every_o man_n to_o settle_v himself_o and_o to_o be_v hearty_o well_o content_a with_o the_o worldly_a gift_n which_o god_n have_v give_v he_o whether_o they_o be_v much_o or_o little_a in_o great_a measure_n or_o in_o small_a a_o other_o reason_n there_o be_v why_o the_o lord_n give_v not_o these_o worldly_a gift_n to_o his_o servant_n according_a to_o their_o manly_a heart_n desire_v because_o god_n reward_v not_o his_o own_o according_a to_o their_o worthiness_n but_o according_a to_o his_o greatness_n which_o reward_n by_o the_o self_n same_o reason_n can_v be_v worldly_a nor_o temporal_a but_o eternal_a and_o everlasting_a like_a unto_o the_o giver_n thereof_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o disposition_n of_o temporal_a benefit_n to_o the_o righteous_a i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o first_o question_n why_o the_o lord_n not_o only_o deny_v prosperity_n to_o his_o servant_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o they_o will_v wish_v but_o also_o do_v visit_v they_o with_o great_a trouble_n and_o affliction_n in_o this_o life_n the_o cause_n be_v many_o and_o divers_a wherefore_o the_o
