A40521	[A fruteful] and learned sermon preached in London; by a most worthy and faithful minister of Chrsit. For the great support and comfort of the people of God in evil times. Most learnedly opened, and prest from Psal. 97.11. Light is sown for the righteous. And farther shews, that if there be either justice in heaven, or fire in hell, persecutors shall never go unpunished		1670 (1670)	Wing F2251A; ESTC R213330	16,494	50

the_o saint_n suffering_n but_o do_v not_o see_v their_o crown_n and_o the_o saint_n crown_n be_v hide_v from_o their_o own_o eye_n too_o for_o a_o while_n 1_o job_n 3._o 2._o it_o do_v not_o yet_o

they_o be_v not_o better_a than_o our_o crown_n be_v but_o you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o but_o why_o do_v the_o lord_n thus_o hide_v the_o comfort_n of_o his_o people_n do_v he_o intend_v to_o bury_v they_o i_o answer_v no_o the_o lord_n be_v all_o this_o while_n carry_v on_o a_o desigh_a of_o mercy_n and_o love_n to_o the_o saint_n pray_v observe_v 1_o st_o god_n have_v a_o design_n in_o hide_v their_o temporal_a comfort_n from_o they_o &_o withdraw_v they_o second_o god_n have_v a_o design_n in_o the_o hide_v the_o saint_n spiritual_a comfort_n and_o withdraw_v they_o 1._o the_o lord_n have_v a_o design_n in_o hide_v the_o temporal_a comfort_n of_o his_o people_n god_n do_v it_o for_o this_o great_a end_n that_o he_o may_v lessen_v and_o unglew_v their_o heart_n from_o the_o world_n we_o oft_o let_v the_o world_n have_v too_o great_a a_o share_n in_o our_o love_n it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n to_o enjoy_v any_o temporal_a mercy_n and_o not_o make_v a_o idol_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n in_o wisdom_n and_o love_n hides_z and_z withdraws_z those_o comfort_n of_o the_o world_n from_o we_o as_o suppose_v that_o a_o husband_n be_v beyond_o the_o sea_n and_o he_o shall_v send_v his_o wife_n a_o jewel_n and_o she_o shall_v be_v so_o take_v with_o the_o jewel_n as_o quite_o to_o forget_v her_o husband_n be_v it_o not_o time_n for_o he_o to_o send_v home_o for_o the_o jewel_n again_o that_o she_o may_v love_v he_o more_o so_o it_o be_v here_o the_o lord_n inrich_v you_o with_o temporal_a mercy_n health_n and_o estate_n send_v you_o these_o jewel_n you_o be_v apt_a to_o fall_v in_o love_n with_o these_o jewel_n and_o forget_v god_n that_o send_v they_o it_o be_v time_n for_o god_n to_o call_v home_o for_o those_o jewel_n that_o he_o may_v have_v more_o of_o your_o love_n second_o god_n have_v a_o design_n in_o hide_v and_o withdraw_v the_o spiritual_a comfort_n of_o his_o people_n their_o spiritual_a comfort_n as_o first_o perhaps_o god_n see_v that_o they_o can_v bear_v comfort_n comfort_n be_v not_o for_o all_o it_o be_v like_o strong_a water_n that_o break_v the_o glass_n joy_n be_v strong_a thing_n all_o can_v bear_v it_o no_o more_o than_o a_o weak_a eye_n can_v bear_v the_o sun_n when_o peter_n be_v upon_o the_o mount_n of_o transfiguration_n the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n begin_v a_o little_a to_o shine_v in_o his_o eye_n

they_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v they_o therefore_o god_n hide_v and_o withdraw_v they_o all_o can_v bear_v comfort_n second_o god_n may_v hide_v those_o spiritual_a comfort_n from_o believer_n for_o a_o time_n that_o they_o may_v value_v they_o the_o more_o when_o they_o have_v they_o oh_o brethren_n do_v we_o come_v by_o our_o comfort_n easy_o as_o water_n at_o the_o strst_a

dis-esteemed_n what_o be_v this_o manna_n and_o who_o be_v this_o moses_n they_o begin_v to_o slight_v the_o manna_n when_o pearl_n grow_v common_a at_o rome_n they_o slight_v they_o and_o wear_v they_o upon_o their_o shoe_n so_o will_v we_o do_v with_o our_o spiritual_a comfort_n therefore_o god_n to_o enhance_v and_o raise_v the_o price_n of_o our_o spiritual_a comfort_n he_o do_v for_o a_o time_n suspend_v they_o hide_v they_o as_o the_o seed_n under_o ground_n three_o god_n may_v hide_v the_o spiritual_a comfort_n of_o his_o child_n for_o trial_n he_o will_v try_v their_o ingenuity_n he_o will_v see_v what_o metal_n they_o be_v make_v of_o whether_o they_o will_v serve_v he_o for_o himself_o and_o not_o for_o comfort_v only_o it_o be_v a_o harlot_n love_n to_o love_v the_o

such_o as_o will_v do_v nothing_o for_o we_o without_o a_o fee_n god_n like_v not_o those_o christian_n who_o will_v serve_v he_o only_o when_o he_o fee_n and_o bribe_v they_o with_o comfort_n four_o

to_o thy_o holy_a temple_n there_o be_v a_o strong_a faith_n faith_n and_o love_n like_o two_o star_n shine_v bright_a in_o the_o dark_a night_n in_o the_o night_n of_o dissertion_n we_o be_v take_v with_o comfort_n but_o god_n be_v more_o take_v with_o the_o act_n of_o our_o grace_n the_o truth_n of_o it_o be_v when_o god_n sometime_o give_v his_o people_n spiritual_a comfort_n why_o then_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v more_o remiss_a in_o their_o walk_n and_o they_o be_v not_o so_o quick_a and_o lively_a in_o duty_n as_o they_o be_v just_a like_a musician_n as_o soon_o as_o you_o throw_v

he_o love_v to_o hear_v the_o music_n of_o their_o grace_n five_o god_n hide_v the_o spiritual_a comfort_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o a_o time_n that_o they_o may_v be_v more_o humble_a there_o be_v nothing_o the_o saint_n be_v more_o apt_a to_o be_v proud_a of_o than_o spiritual_a comfort_n and_o enlargement_n because_o they_o look_v upon_o those_o thing_n as_o most_o excellent_a &_o therefore_o their_o heart_n be_v apt_a to_o be_v lift_v up_o now_o when_o god_n take_v away_o those_o comfort_n and_o hide_v they_o their_o heart_n begin_v to_o be_v more_o humble_a st._n paul_n danger_n be_v in_o be_v lift_v up_o when_o he_o have_v so_o many_o vision_n and_o revelation_n therefore_o he_o have_v a_o thorn_n in_o his_o flesh_n to_o humble_v he_o it_o be_v a_o humble_v thorn_n 2_o cor._n 10._o 12._o lest_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v exalt_v above_o measure_n thou_o have_v give_v i_o a_o thorn_n in_o the_o elesh_n when_o christian_n have_v much_o joy_n in_o their_o spirit_n they_o need_v a_o thorn_n in_o the_o flesh_n to_o humble_v they_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n to_o be_v high_a in_o joy_n and_o to_o be_v low_a in_o humility_n oh_o what_o corruption_n be_v there_o in_o man_n heart_n god_n can_v humble_v a_o soul_n but_o it_o grow_v deject_v and_o god_n can_v comfort_v he_o but_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o grow_v proud_a and_o therefore_o he_o be_v force_v sometime_o to_o withdraw_v spiritual_a comfort_n &_o hide_v they_o as_o seed_v under_o ground_n god_n have_v rather_o you_o shall_v want_v comfort_n than_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v proud_a with_o your_o comfort_n six_o the_o lord_n sometime_o hide_v the_o spiritual_a comfort_n of_o his_o people_n and_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o dark_a and_o see_v no_o light_n that_o they_o may_v long_o the_o more_o to_o be_v in_o heaven_n then_o their_o comfort_n shall_v be_v in_o perfection_n and_o shall_v never_o cease_v then_o the_o saint_n they_o shall_v be_v upon_o the_o mount_n of_o vision_n see_v god_n glory_n ever_o and_o shall_v never_o complain_v more_o my_o belove_a have_v with_o draw_v himself_o in_o heaven_n they_o shall_v have_v nothing_o but_o comfort_n then_o because_o they_o have_v nothing_o but_o grace_n the_o saint_n they_o shall_v be_v for_o ever_o sun_v themselves_o in_o the_o light_n of_o god_n countenance_n oh_o bless_a time_n believer_n they_o shall_v never_o have_v a_o angry_a word_n from_o god_n more_o they_o shall_v never_o see_v a_o frown_n in_o his_o face_n more_o the_o sun-light_n of_o god_n favour_n will_v be_v without_o cloud_n and_o will_v never_o set_v and_o therefore_o god_n let_v our_o comfort_n be_v hide_v as_o seed_v under_o ground_n that_o we_o may_v long_o for_o a_o springtime_n of_o glory_n
