sad_a accident_n and_o death_n which_o man_n call_v disastrous_a do_v many_o time_n come_v in_o the_o way_n of_o punishment_n for_o sin_n but_o yet_o that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o punish_v sinner_n in_o this_o life_n with_o such_o calamity_n as_o these_o but_o he_o do_v often_o either_o reserve_v they_o for_o their_o punishment_n in_o the_o other_o world_n or_o else_o expect_v that_o they_o shall_v voluntary_o do_v penance_n and_o so_o inflict_v some_o punishment_n upon_o themselves_o in_o this_o life_n and_o second_o he_o let_v we_o know_v that_o when_o such_o affliction_n and_o tribulation_n happen_v to_o other_o we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o enter_v into_o our_o own_o soul_n and_o to_o consider_v the_o sin_n which_o we_o have_v commit_v and_o how_o just_o we_o merit_v all_o

the_o same_o we_o must_v punish_v and_o mortify_v our_o body_n with_o penal_a work_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o accept_v whatsoever_o trouble_n or_o tribulation_n it_o may_v please_v god_n to_o send_v

they_o with_o patience_n they_o may_v discharge_v and_o satisfy_v for_o those_o sin_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v as_o that_o holy_a virgin_n sara_n confess_v say_v job._n 3._o bless_a be_v thou_o
