edge_n of_o the_o sword_n in_o the_o verse_n immediate_o before_o the_o text._n and_o in_o this_o verse_n which_o be_v our_o text_n the_o apostle_n have_v collect_v both_o the_o benefit_n which_o they_o receive_v by_o faith_n woman_n receive_v their_o dead_a raise_v to_o life_n again_o and_o then_o the_o holy_a courage_n which_o be_v infuse_v by_o faith_n in_o their_o persecution_n other_o be_v torture_v not_o accept_v deliverance_n that_o they_o may_v receive_v a_o better_a resurrection_n and_o because_o both_o these_o have_v relation_n evident_o pregnant_o to_o the_o resurrection_n for_o their_o benefit_n be_v that_o the_o woman_n receive_v their_o dead_a by_o a_o resurrection_n and_o their_o courage_n in_o their_o persecution_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v receive_v a_o better_a

fruit_n of_o the_o dead_a our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n jesus_n our_o part_n be_v two_o how_o plentiful_o god_n give_v to_o the_o faithful_a divisio_fw-la divisio_fw-la woman_n receive_v

as_o this_o woman_n receive_v their_o dead_a raise_v to_o life_n again_o and_o second_o we_o shall_v seethe_v example_n to_o which_o the_o apostle_n refer_v here_o what_o woman_n have_v have_v their_o dead_a restore_v to_o life_n again_o and_o then_o last_o in_o that_o part_n that_o this_o affection_n of_o joy_n in_o have_v their_o dead_a restore_v to_o life_n again_o be_v put_v in_o the_o weak_a sex_n in_o woman_n only_o we_o may_v argue_v convenient_o from_o thence_o that_o the_o strength_n of_o a_o true_a and_o just_a joy_n lie_v not_o in_o that_o but_o that_o our_o virility_n our_o holy_a manhood_n our_o religious_a strength_n consist_v in_o a_o faithful_a assurance_n that_o we_o have_v already_o a_o bless_a communion_n with_o these_o saint_n of_o god_n though_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o we_o alive_a and_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v hereafter_o a_o glorious_a association_n with_o they_o in_o the_o resurrection_n though_o we_o never_o receive_v our_o dead_a raise_v to_o life_n again_o in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o those_o three_o consideration_n we_o shall_v determine_v that_o first_o part_n and_o then_o in_o the_o other_o the_o patience_n of_o the_o faithful_a other_o be_v torture_v etc._n etc._n we_o shall_v first_o look_v into_o the_o example_n which_o the_o apostle_n refer_v to_o who_o they_o be_v that_o be_v thus_o torture_v and_o second_o the_o height_n and_o exaltation_n of_o their_o patience_n they_o will_v not_o accept_v a_o deliverance_n and_o last_o the_o ground_n upon_o which_o their_o anchor_n be_v cast_v what_o establish_v their_o patience_n that_o they_o may_v obtain_v a_o better_a resurrection_n

a_o phrase_n very_o remarkable_a by_o david_n he_o bring_v the_o wind_n out_o of_o his_o treasury_n and_o then_o follow_v in_o that_o place_n 135.7_o psal_n 135.7_o all_o the_o plague_n of_o egypt_n

in_o the_o way_n of_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n but_o there_o be_v mercy_n in_o it_o he_o can_v open_v a_o door_n in_o his_o armoury_n but_o a_o window_n into_o his_o treasury_n open_v too_o and_o he_o must_v look_v into_o that_o but_o then_o god_n correction_n be_v his_o act_n as_o the_o physician_n be_v his_o creature_n god_n create_v he_o for_o necessity_n when_o god_n make_v man_n his_o

purpose_n to_o be_v not_o to_o destroy_v but_o to_o recover_v that_o man_n do_v not_o thou_o make_v god_n rheubarbe_n thy_o ratsbane_n and_o poison_v thy_o own_o soul_n with_o a_o uncharitable_a misinterpretation_n of_o that_o correction_n which_o god_n have_v send_v to_o cure_v he_o and_o then_o in_o thy_o own_o affliction_n fly_v evermore_o to_o this_o prayer_n satisfy_v we_o with_o thy_o

discern_v thy_o son_n and_o though_o in_o a_o act_n of_o displeasure_n see_v that_o thou_o be_v well_o please_v with_o we_o satisfy_v we_o that_o there_o be_v mercy_n in_o thy_o judgement_n and_o then_o satisfy_v we_o that_o thy_o mercy_n be_v mercy_n for_o such_o be_v the_o stupidity_n of_o sinful_a man_n that_o as_o in_o temporal_a blessing_n we_o discern_v they_o best_o by_o want_v they_o so_o do_v we_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n too_o we_o call_v it_o not_o a_o mercy_n to_o have_v the_o same_o blessing_n still_o but_o as_o every_o man_n conceive_v a_o great_a degree_n of_o joy_n in_o

for_o so_o long_o enjoy_v the_o continuance_n thereof_o satisfy_v we_o with_o thy_o mercy_n let_v we_o still_o be_v able_a to_o see_v mercy_n in_o thy_o judgement_n lest_o they_o deject_v we_o and_o

or_o a_o necessary_a thing_n that_o must_v have_v happen_v so_o though_o there_o have_v be_v no_o god_n in_o heaven_n nor_o providence_n upon_o earth_n but_o especial_o since_o the_o way_n that_o
