in_o the_o issue_n fare_v so_o well_o as_o then_o the_o afflict_a righteous_a beside_o who_o else_o can_v be_v the_o executioner_n of_o these_o judgement_n but_o the_o wicked_a can_v good_a man_n oppress_v steal_v persecute_v kill_v or_o will_v they_o continue_v good_a if_o they_o shall_v none_o other_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v these_o instrument_n but_o bad_a man_n who_o can_v be_v content_v to_o thrive_v and_o gain_v by_o any_o method_n how_o base_a or_o wicked_a soever_o and_o who_o take_v great_a delight_n in_o any_o instance_n whereby_o they_o may_v express_v the_o enmity_n that_o have_v so_o long_o be_v between_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o of_o wreak_v that_o spleen_n and_o malice_n which_o they_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n will_v ever_o bear_v to_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n in_o short_a if_o there_o be_v any_o injustice_n or_o unkindness_n in_o god_n make_v use_n of_o such_o instrument_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o judgement_n it_o must_v be_v either_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o person_n that_o suffer_v or_o to_o the_o instrument_n themselves_o it_o can_v be_v with_o respect_n to_o those_o that_o suffer_v who_o have_v corruption_n enough_o to_o need_v affliction_n for_o discipline_n and_o sin_n enough_o to_o provoke_v god_n judgement_n he_o be_v neither_o unjust_a nor_o unkind_a in_o make_v use_n of_o the_o most_o capable_a and_o apt_a whether_o brute_n or_o rational_a instrument_n for_o the_o lay_v those_o affliction_n upon_o they_o which_o they_o stand_v so_o much_o in_o need_n of_o or_o so_o just_o deserve_v nor_o with_o relation_n to_o those_o wicked_a instrument_n for_o take_v god_n permission_n of_o their_o villainy_n and_o suffer_v they_o to_o prosper_v and_o thrive_v by_o they_o in_o the_o severe_a sense_n yet_o if_o god_n have_v try_v and_o they_o have_v be_v proof_n against_o his_o former_a method_n for_o their_o reformation_n what_o injustice_n be_v there_o in_o his_o give_v over_o to_o try_v they_o any_o further_a be_v god_n oblige_v to_o use_v violence_n to_o make_v man_n good_a and_o to_o force_v they_o to_o be_v happy_a against_o their_o will_n it_o be_v enough_o that_o he_o have_v place_v heaven_n and_o hell_n before_o they_o give_v they_o their_o option_n of_o life_n and_o death_n that_o he_o have_v wait_v long_o to_o see_v which_o they_o will_v choose_v that_o he_o have_v use_v various_a method_n to_o incline_v they_o to_o make_v a_o wise_a choice_n and_o to_o reclaim_v they_o from_o those_o wicked_a course_n which_o they_o be_v engage_v in_o and_o which_o lead_v to_o eternal_a death_n if_o all_o this_o will_v not_o do_v and_o they_o will_v neither_o be_v lead_v to_o repentance_n by_o his_o goodness_n nor_o drive_v by_o his_o judgement_n who_o can_v call_v god_n unjust_a or_o unmerciful_a in_o suffer_v they_o at_o last_o to_o take_v their_o course_n and_o to_o run_v into_o that_o destruction_n which_o they_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v to_o avoid_v and_o thus_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o it_o may_v be_v very_o consistent_a with_o god_n justice_n and_o goodness_n to_o suffer_v good_a man_n to_o be_v afflict_v bad_a man_n to_o be_v prosperous_a in_o this_o world_n and_o likewise_o bad_a man_n to_o be_v the_o instrument_n by_o which_o good_a man_n be_v afflict_v and_o if_o god_n may_v be_v very_o just_a and_o good_a in_o permit_v these_o thing_n then_o may_v he_o notwithstanding_o that_o his_o permission_n be_v very_o know_v and_o powerful_a too_o for_o his_o not_o hinder_v a_o thing_n which_o he_o be_v just_a and_o good_a in_o permit_v can_v be_v no_o argument_n of_o his_o want_n either_o of_o knowledge_n of_o that_o thing_n or_o of_o power_n to_o prevent_v it_o have_v now_o vindicate_v the_o divine_a providence_n from_o those_o objection_n which_o the_o atheist_n raise_v against_o it_o and_o see_v the_o unreasonableness_n of_o those_o conclusion_n which_o he_o draw_v from_o bad_a man_n succeed_v in_o their_o oppression_n and_o thrive_a with_o the_o spoil_n of_o those_o that_o be_v better_o than_o themselves_o i_o proceed_v in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o show_v what_o more_o reasonable_a as_o well_o as_o useful_a inference_n we_o ought_v to_o make_v from_o hence_o and_o what_o practical_a instruction_n this_o consideration_n will_v afford_v we_o for_o the_o government_n of_o our_o life_n and_o it_o will_v be_v of_o very_o great_a use_n to_o we_o in_o these_o follow_a particular_n which_o i_o hint_v in_o the_o beginning_n 1._o since_o god_n suffer_v bad_a man_n to_o prosper_v and_o good_a man_n to_o be_v afflict_v in_o this_o world_n this_o give_v we_o a_o irrefragable_a assurance_n of_o a_o future_a judgement_n and_o state_n because_o otherwise_o there_o will_v not_o be_v a_o opportunity_n to_o manifest_v that_o universal_a and_o impartial_a justice_n which_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o god_n and_o which_o he_o constant_o assert_n he_o will_v govern_v himself_o by_o in_o his_o distribution_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n who_o he_o assure_v he_o will_v recompense_v according_a to_o their_o work_n for_o however_o god_n may_v very_o righteous_o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o to_o convince_v man_n that_o not_o the_o least_o good_a in_o any_o shall_v fail_v of_o its_o reward_n recompense_v that_o little_a goodness_n or_o serviceableness_n that_o be_v in_o bad_a man_n with_o some_o outward_a prosperity_n here_o since_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n prepare_v for_o they_o wherein_o they_o shall_v suffer_v the_o just_a punishment_n of_o the_o general_a impiety_n of_o their_o life_n and_o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o hatred_n to_o sin_n punish_v the_o fault_n and_o fail_n of_o the_o best_a man_n with_o temporal_a affliction_n since_o a_o glorious_a reward_n of_o all_o their_o piety_n and_o goodness_n be_v reserve_v for_o they_o in_o the_o other_o world_n yet_o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o reward_n or_o punishment_n to_o be_v distribute_v hereafter_o these_o dispensation_n here_o will_v hardly_o seem_v just_a as_o sure_o therefore_o as_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o judge_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o this_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n will_v do_v right_a so_o sure_a from_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o good_a and_o happiness_n of_o the_o wicked_a here_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o day_n wherein_o the_o scene_n shall_v be_v change_v a_o judgement_n that_o shall_v set_v all_o these_o thing_n right_a and_o straight_o shall_v assign_v to_o the_o wicked_a for_o their_o portion_n a_o eternity_n of_o tribulation_n and_o anguish_n and_o pain_n but_o to_o the_o afflict_a righteous_a glory_n and_o honour_n and_o eternal_a life_n 2._o since_o god_n permit_v very_o good_a man_n to_o be_v afflict_v and_o very_o bad_a man_n to_o flourish_v here_o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o that_o lesson_n of_o st._n john_n not_o to_o love_v this_o world_n nor_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o must_v necessary_o abate_v our_o love_n and_o value_n for_o the_o world_n to_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v a_o place_n where_o the_o great_a innocency_n and_o virtue_n can_v secure_v a_o man_n from_o suffering_n but_o possible_o expose_v he_o the_o more_o to_o they_o where_o a_o good_a man_n can_v be_v safe_a but_o lie_v open_a to_o the_o oppression_n of_o tyranny_n and_o villainy_n where_o bad_a man_n prosper_v and_o devour_v those_o that_o be_v more_o righteous_a than_o they_o undoubted_o to_o a_o good_a man_n this_o can_v seem_v a_o desirable_a place_n and_o then_o for_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n by_o which_o i_o mean_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o it_o the_o power_n the_o honour_n the_o riches_n the_o pleasure_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v make_v a_o due_a estimate_n of_o they_o too_o for_o certain_o we_o must_v allow_v that_o god_n do_v best_a understand_v the_o value_n of_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a from_o hence_o that_o in_o his_o esteem_n these_o thing_n be_v not_o very_o valueable_a for_o if_o they_o be_v he_o will_v never_o suffer_v his_o favourite_n who_o he_o love_v to_o be_v without_o they_o and_o his_o enemy_n who_o he_o hate_v to_o ejoy_v they_o which_o since_o he_o do_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o in_o his_o judgement_n they_o be_v of_o no_o great_a worth_n and_o therefore_o shall_v be_v of_o no_o great_a account_n with_o we_o because_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v according_a to_o truth_n 3._o since_o god_n suffer_v good_a man_n to_o be_v afflict_v and_o wicked_a man_n to_o enjoy_v prosperity_n in_o this_o world_n this_o shall_v excite_v and_o inflame_v our_o desire_n and_o long_n after_o the_o other_o world_n not_o only_o because_o in_o general_a that_o will_v be_v a_o place_n where_o the_o scene_n shall_v be_v shift_v where_o
