and_o afflict_v evil_n to_o which_o all_o be_v subject_a as_o man_n or_o christian_n with_o which_o other_o have_v be_v and_o with_o which_o we_o may_v be_v for_o aught_o we_o know_v exercise_v the_o

we_o as_o christian_n first_o those_o that_o concern_v we_o as_o man_n and_o those_o difficulty_n include_v two_o thing_n 1._o evil_n privative_a 2._o evil_n positive_a first_o evil_n privative_a which_o stand_v in_o the_o loss_n and_o privation_n of_o those_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o use_n and_o suitable_a to_o our_o nature_n and_o being_n as_o loss_n of_o friend_n loss_n of_o husband_n wife_n child_n estate_n viz._n house_n land_n livelihood_n loss_n of_o liberty_n loss_n of_o credit_n and_o in_o a_o word_n loss_n of_o every_o outward_a enjoyment_n that_o be_v comfortable_a these_o be_v privative_a evil_n second_o evil_n positive_a which_o stand_v and_o consist_v in_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v troublesome_a to_o our_o nature_n and_o bitter_a to_o our_o spirit_n as_o hunger_n thirst_n nakedness_n poverty_n imprisonment_n banishment_n shame_n and_o reproach_n these_o our_o nature_n account_v difficulty_n and_o hard_a and_o bitter_a thing_n thus_o for_o the_o difficulty_n that_o concern_v we_o as_o man_n it_o be_v the_o fay_n job_n 5.7_o that_o man_n be_v bear_v to_o trouble_n second_o there_o be_v difficulty_n that_o concern_v we_o as_o christian_n difficulty_n which_o attend_v our_o profession_n and_o our_o grace_n which_o make_v the_o exercise_v of_o they_o hard_o and_o difficult_a so_o i_o shall_v name_v seven_o there_o be_v the_o difficulty_n of_o 1._o faith_n 2._o hope_n 3._o joy_n 4._o sincerity_n 5._o obedience_n 6._o patience_n 7._o dependency_n first_o faith_n have_v its_o difficulty_n luther_n

the_o difficulty_n in_o relation_n to_o faith_n that_o make_v believe_v hard_o as_o that_o abraham_n shall_v have_v a_o son_n when_o he_o be_v so_o old_a and_o his_o wife_n old_a also_o that_o abraham_n shall_v kill_v his_o son_n and_o yet_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v make_v his_o seed_n as_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n for_o number_n these_o be_v difficulty_n of_o faith_n for_o a_o

of_o faith_n second_o hope_n have_v its_o difficulty_n to_o sit_v in_o darkness_n and_o yet_o hope_v for_o light_n to_o lie_v in_o the_o grave_n and_o yet_o hope_v for_o a_o resurrection_n to_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o yet_o hope_v for_o a_o good_a day_n of_o renew_v and_o revive_v these_o be_v some_o of_o the_o difficulty_n of_o hope_n to_o see_v the_o church_n tread_v under_o foot_n and_o yet_o to_o hope_v to_o see_v it_o glorious_a this_o be_v a_o difficulty_n in_o relation_n to_o a_o christian_n hope_v three_o joy_n have_v its_o difficulty_n the_o apostle_n say_v rejoice_v always_o phil._n 4_o 4._o and_o yet_o at_o some_o time_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o make_v it_o hard_o for_o a_o christian_n to_o rejoice_v to_o lose_v friend_n to_o want_v outward_a comfort_n to_o
