because_o the_o former_a require_v more_o consolation_n &_o less_o exhortation_n than_o the_o other_o and_o the_o latter_a will_v have_v we_o more_o abundant_a in_o admonish_v and_o more_o spare_v

passage_n of_o natural_a corruption_n and_o original_a sin_n the_o troublesome_a froth_n whereof_o do_v almost_o overwhelm_v many_o poor_a pilgrim_n it_o shall_v be_v good_a to_o give_v this_o

by_o the_o law_n of_o equity_n may_v urge_v this_o at_o our_o hand_n for_o if_o man_n by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n can_v see_v it_o to_o be_v a_o duty_n convenient_a not_o frivolouslie_o to_o travel_v but_o meek_o to_o suffer_v &_o wise_o to_o put_v up_o unadvised_a speech_n of_o a_o man_n distemper_v in_o brain_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o burn_a ague_n or_o other_o vehement_a sickness_n we_o may_v easy_o gather_v even_o by_o this_o rule_n of_o reason_n not_o so_o severe_o to_o censure_n the_o impatient_a speech_n of_o he_o who_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o parch_a fever_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v disquier_v in_o mind_n and_o have_v all_o the_o vein_n of_o his_o hart_n as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a agony_n vex_v wherefore_o both_o unsavoury_a of_o godly_a wisdom_n &_o uncharitable_a for_o want_v of_o christian_a love_n be_v their_o murmur_a obtractation_n which_o say_v what_o be_v the_o godly_a man_n be_v this_o he_o that_o be_v trouble_v for_o his_o sin_n why_o see_v how_o pettish_a he_o be_v nothing_o can_v please_v he_o no_o body_n can_v satisfy_v he_o consider_v o_o man_n if_o thou_o can_v bear_v with_o a_o frail_a body_n that_o thou_o must_v much_o more_o bear_v with_o a_o fraill_n mind_n consider_v that_o this_o his_o pettishnes_n do_v more_o wound_v he_o to_o the_o hart_n than_o any_o injury_n thou_o can_v pierce_v he_o with_o and_o therefore_o see_v he_o afflict_v his_o own_o soul_n for_o it_o thou_o must_v not_o add_v any_o thing_n to_o his_o affliction_n and_o to_o exasperate_v his_o smart_n considder_fw-mi that_o it_o be_v a_o bless_a thing_n merciful_o to_o bethink_v we_o of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o needy_a and_o that_o to_o rub_v a_o fresh_a wound_n and_o to_o strain_v a_o bleed_a sore_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o which_o job_n friend_n do_v to_o bring_v a_o new_a torment_n where_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o it_o if_o the_o wise_a father_n rather_o do_v pity_n than_o rebuke_v his_o child_n when_o by_o reason_n of_o sickness_n the_o appetite_n be_v not_o easy_o please_v so_o if_o we_o purpose_v to_o do_v any_o good_a with_o a_o afflict_a mind_n we_o must_v not_o be_v austere_a in_o reprehend_v every_o infirmity_n but_o patient_a in_o consider_v of_o it_o as_o tender_a frailty_n neither_o do_v i_o speak_v this_o to_o nourish_v pettishnes_n in_o any_o but_o will_v have_v they_o to_o labour_n for_o patience_n and_o to_o seek_v for_o peace_n which_o though_o they_o find_v not_o at_o the_o first_o yet_o by_o prayer_n they_o must_v wait_v on_o the_o lord_n and_o say_v lord_n because_o there_o
