repine_v and_o call_v god_n justice_n into_o question_n sure_o no_o i_o will_v rather_o lay_v my_o hand_n upon_o my_o mouth_n and_o attend_v with_o patience_n the_o far_a manifestation_n of_o his_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n it_o may_v be_v these_o trouble_n that_o be_v fall_v upon_o we_o be_v send_v of_o god_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o humility_n this_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o the_o best_a to_o they_o that_o fear_v god_n for_o as_o it_o be_v in_o face_n if_o you_o examine_v they_o part_v by_o part_n you_o may_v perhaps_o not_o find_v one_o good_a face_n among_o they_o all_o but_o exception_n may_v be_v take_v either_o at_o the_o breadth_n or_o narrowness_n of_o the_o forehead_n or_o else_o at_o the_o colour_n or_o dimness_n of_o the_o eye_n or_o else_o at_o the_o sharpness_n of_o the_o chin_n or_o the_o length_n of_o the_o nose_n or_o thinness_n of_o the_o lip_n but_o take_v all_o these_o part_n together_o and_o they_o may_v do_v very_o well_o and_o help_v to_o make_v up_o a_o seemly_a and_o well-composed_a countenance_n so_o in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v send_v unto_o we_o of_o god_n if_o we_o examine_v they_o several_o part_n by_o part_n we_o may_v perhaps_o find_v just_a matter_n of_o complaint_n and_o think_v that_o there_o may_v be_v disorder_n and_o injustice_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n but_o if_o we_o take_v they_o all_o together_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o composition_n admirable_a and_o of_o excellent_a use_n and_o benefit_n unto_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o god_n neither_o effectual_o work_v nor_o permissive_o suffer_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v unto_o the_o righteous_a but_o only_o for_o their_o good_a and_o their_o amendment_n and_o therefore_o to_o murmur_v or_o repine_v against_o god_n or_o to_o expostulate_v and_o ask_v the_o question_n why_o god_n do_v afflict_v one_o man_n more_o severe_o than_o another_o thou_o may_v with_o as_o much_o reason_n move_v the_o question_n why_o god_n love_v one_o man_n better_o than_o another_o tell_v i_o why_o the_o physician_n prescribe_v thou_o a_o great_a proportion_n of_o rhubarb_n than_o another_o because_o he_o do_v experimental_o find_v that_o such_o a_o one_o will_v be_v move_v more_o with_o one_o dram_n than_o thou_o can_v be_v with_o three_o some_o man_n be_v soon_o move_v of_o god_n by_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o crop_n of_o corn_n than_o another_o by_o the_o burn_a of_o his_o house_n by_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o wife_n and_o child_n for_o though_o the_o conscience_n of_o some_o be_v such_o as_o oil_n and_o butter_n may_v supple_a they_o yet_o the_o most_o part_n be_v so_o overgrow_v with_o hardness_n as_o they_o require_v strong_a and_o potent_a corrosive_n to_o make_v a_o entrance_n into_o they_o and_o thus_o for_o the_o manner_n and_o measure_n of_o our_o affliction_n howsoever_o afflict_a we_o must_v pray_v now_o follow_v the_o three_o circumstance_n whensoever_o afflict_v we_o must_v pray_v whensoever_o that_o be_v so_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v afflict_v so_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v afflict_v and_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v afflict_v first_o so_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v afflict_v for_o god_n way_n be_v not_o like_a wan_n way_n if_o a_o beggar_n come_v once_o or_o twice_o to_o our_o door_n we_o may_v perhaps_o be_v so_o charitable_a as_o to_o relieve_v he_o and_o give_v he_o alm_n but_o if_o he_o haunt_v our_o house_n we_o withdraw_v our_o bounty_n and_o give_v no_o long_o but_o god_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o bestow_v his_o blessing_n say_v saint_n augustine_n but_o that_o the_o perverseness_n of_o man_n do_v hinder_v o_o jerusalem_n jerusalem_n do_v thou_o bear_v witness_n how_o often_o will_v christ_n have_v gather_v together_o thy_o child_n as_o a_o hen_n gather_v her_o chicken_n under_o her_o wing_n but_o thou_o will_v not_o for_o as_o a_o father_n pity_v his_o only_a son_n say_v david_n so_o god_n show_v compassion_n on_o those_o that_o love_n and_o call_v upon_o he_o yea_o god_n love_n be_v so_o great_a that_o nothing_o can_v be_v compare_v with_o it_o for_o what_o love_n shall_v i_o compare_v unto_o his_o love_n the_o love_n of_o a_o woman_n it_o be_v great_a indeed_o but_o yet_o the_o love_n of_o jonathan_n to_o david_n be_v great_a than_o it_o to_o the_o love_n of_o a_o mother_n here_o be_v a_o great_a degree_n than_o the_o former_a but_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o so_o certain_a and_o infallible_a as_o god_n love_n can_v a_o mother_n forget_v her_o child_n and_o not_o have_v compassion_n on_o the_o son_n of_o her_o womb_n as_o some_o may_v be_v yea_o some_o we_o know_v have_v be_v so_o unnatural_a yet_o will_v not_o i_o forget_v thou_o say_v god_n to_o his_o disconsolate_a and_o afflict_a zion_n and_o therefore_o until_o you_o find_v who_o you_o may_v compare_v with_o god_n you_o shall_v never_o find_v any_o love_n to_o be_v compare_v with_o his_o love_n for_o as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o without_o beginning_n so_o it_o be_v towards_o all_o other_o without_o end_v and_o though_o his_o mercy_n be_v above_o all_o his_o work_n yet_o it_o do_v prostrate_v itself_o to_o the_o least_o of_o his_o work_n yea_o so_o great_a be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n that_o i_o remember_v some_o of_o the_o schoolman_n make_v it_o one_o of_o their_o curious_a question_n whether_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o the_o world_n or_o his_o love_n to_o his_o only_a son_n be_v great_a i_o find_v he_o in_o holy_a scripture_n sometime_o compare_v to_o a_o father_n sometime_o to_o a_o mother_n sometime_o to_o a_o friend_n sometime_o to_o a_o husband_n that_o so_o by_o these_o familiar_a speech_n we_o may_v aspire_v unto_o some_o sense_n and_o knowledge_n of_o his_o indulgent_a and_o compassionate_a nature_n he_o be_v pater_fw-la amoris_fw-la say_v saint_n jerome_n and_o will_v help_v and_o he_o be_v pater_fw-la potestatis_fw-la and_o can_v help_v we_o faint_v not_o then_o under_o any_o temptation_n or_o trouble_n but_o howsoever_o afflict_v either_o in_o soul_n or_o body_n either_o with_o sickness_n or_o poverty_n or_o any_o other_o calamity_n whatsoever_o if_o thou_o pour_v out_o thy_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n unto_o god_n it_o be_v his_o own_o promise_n that_o he_o will_v hear_v thou_o for_o as_o the_o oil_n do_v not_o cease_v until_o they_o want_v vessel_n to_o receive_v it_o 2_o king_n 4._o so_o there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o god_n mercy_n towards_o we_o till_o we_o want_v faith_n to_o apprehend_v it_o say_v not_o then_o desperate_o with_o cain_n that_o thy_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o can_v be_v forgive_v for_o no_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a but_o god_n can_v such_o be_v his_o power_n and_o god_n will_v such_o be_v his_o goodness_n forgive_v the_o same_o it_o be_v not_o simple_o thy_o sin_n

member_n so_o do_v paul_n all_o these_o obtain_a pardon_n by_o prayer_n and_o humiliation_n they_o can_v plead_v nothing_o else_o but_o mercy_n and_o this_o may_v thou_o plead_v as_o well_o as_o they_o let_v we_o then_o possess_v our_o soul_n not_o in_o patience_n only_o but_o in_o comfort_n and_o so_o oft_o as_o we_o be_v afflict_v let_v we_o pray_v second_o so_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v

say_v david_n if_o in_o a_o whole_a day_n i_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o once_o speak_v to_o he_o or_o he_o to_o i_o but_o the_o reason_n why_o oftentimes_o we_o defer_v our_o prayer_n be_v because_o
