saying_n 31_o luk._n 21.28.9_o â—0_n 31_o behold_v the_o figtree_n and_o all_o tree_n when_o they_o now_o shoot_v forth_o you_o see_v they_o know_v of_o your_o own_o self_n that_o summer_n be_v then_o near_o so_o likewise_o you_o when_o you_o see_v these_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v know_v you_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v near_o and_o when_o these_o thing_n begin_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v then_o look_v up_o and_o lift_v up_o your_o head_n for_o your_o redemption_n draw_v near_o in_o which_o word_n christ_n not_o only_o mean_n that_o those_o troublesome_a time_n shall_v be_v as_o certain_a a_o sign_n of_o his_o come_n as_o we_o certain_o know_v that_o summer_n approach_v when_o tree_n bud_v forth_o but_o he_o signify_v another_o thing_n beside_o for_o whereas_o in_o winter_n tree_n be_v draw_v together_o with_o roughness_n of_o cold_a seem_v to_o be_v the_o strong_a but_o when_o in_o the_o spring_n that_o hardness_n be_v dissolve_v they_o appear_v weak_a and_o as_o it_o be_v cleave_v and_o open_v that_o new_a tendrel_n and_o springal_n may_v break_v out_o so_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o hinder_v when_o affliction_n do_v soften_v it_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n for_o as_o the_o inward_a ivyce_n disperse_v through_o the_o whole_a tree_n when_o it_o be_v soften_v it_o increase_v force_v to_o renew_v that_o which_o be_v before_o as_o it_o be_v dead_a so_o the_o lord_n do_v bring_v forth_o the_o full_a restore_n of_o his_o child_n from_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n the_o sum_n be_v this_o that_o by_o the_o feeble_a and_o frail_a state_n of_o the_o church_n we_o shall_v not_o conjecture_v a_o destruction_n and_o decay_n but_o rather_o hope_v for_o immortal_a glory_n unto_o which_o the_o lord_n prepare_v his_o eiect_v by_o the_o cross_n and_o tribulation_n for_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o several_a part_n must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o church_n 4.16_o 2._o cor._n 4.16_o namely_o that_o though_o our_o outward_a man_n perish_v yet_o the_o inward_a man_n be_v renew_v daily_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n be_v thou_o afflict_v with_o poverty_n want_n and_o scarcity_n
