this_o case_n perform_v and_o that_o be_v even_o all_o that_o be_v require_v of_o he_o he_o take_v his_o son_n and_o carry_v the_o wood_n and_o the_o knife_n and_o go_v three_o day_n journey_n &_o

faith_n and_o a_o undainted_a affiance_n in_o god_n by_o which_o abraham_n have_v set_v we_o a_o example_n which_o most_o will_v rather_o commend_v then_o imitate_v for_o one_o of_o we_o have_v we_o be_v in_o his_o place_n will_v have_v think_v thus_o lord_n why_o shall_v god_n deal_v thus_o strange_o with_o i_o be_v ever_o man_n bring_v to_o these_o strait_n that_o i_o be_o in_o and_o be_v it_o possible_a my_o heart_n shall_v bear_v all_o this_o and_o not_o break_v or_o thus_o can_v god_n love_v i_o that_o envy_v i_o my_o only_a child_n will_v god_n provide_v i_o comfort_n when_o he_o take_v from_o i_o all_o the_o joy_n that_o i_o have_v and_o mean_v he_o to_o perform_v his_o promise_n make_v in_o isaac_n when_o he_o design_v isaac_n to_o be_v slay_v and_o his_o body_n to_o be_v burn_v into_o ash_n or_o thus_o will_v nothing_o please_v god_n but_o my_o only_a son_n and_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o that_o i_o part_n with_o my_o son_n but_o i_o must_v murder_v he_o with_o my_o own_o hand_n and_o may_v i_o not_o now_o at_o once_o make_v a_o end_n both_o of_o his_o life_n and_o my_o grief_n but_o must_v i_o be_v act_v it_o three_o day_n together_o that_o by_o prolong_v the_o time_n i_o may_v increase_v my_o sorrow_n thus_o or_o in_o some_o such_o manner_n as_o this_o we_o will_v have_v be_v ready_a to_o have_v complain_v against_o god_n or_o if_o we_o have_v submit_v against_o our_o mind_n yet_o we_o will_v have_v weep_v and_o mourn_v and_o wring_v the_o hand_n like_o 2.18_o like_o matt._n 2.18_o rachel_n that_o weep_v for_o her_o child_n and_o will_v not_o be_v comfort_v because_o they_o be_v not_o but_o abraham_n do_v neither_o so_o nor_o so_o he_o do_v what_o god_n command_v and_o hope_v for_o that_o which_o god_n have_v promise_v and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o he_o 4.18_o he_o rom._n 4.18_o against_o hope_n he_o believe_v in_o hope_n and_o 11.17_o and_o heb._n 11.17_o he_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n offer_v up_o his_o only_a beget_v

abraham_n perform_v in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o trial_n 3_o consider_v we_o how_o abraham_n speed_v after_o all_o and_o that_o be_v a_o angel_n stay_v his_o hand_n from_o kill_v his_o son_n and_o god_n commend_v his_o faith_n that_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o obey_v &_o now_o all_o age_n acknowledge_v abraham_n for_o the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a nor_o be_v there_o any_o of_o we_o but_o will_v think_v and_o say_v o_o happy_a man_n that_o have_v such_o a_o son_n to_o give_v and_o such_o a_o heart_n to_o part_n with_o he_o at_o god_n command_n and_o such_o a_o faith_n to_o depend_v upon_o god_n when_o all_o thing_n seem_v contrary_a and_o such_o a_o blessing_n from_o god_n when_o he_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o help_n and_o hope_n but_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o those_o that_o dare_v trust_n god_n in_o their_o trial_n and_o with_o cheerfulness_n can_v follow_v he_o through_o their_o trouble_n let_v we_o then_o imitate_v abraham_n faith_n and_o we_o shall_v partake_v

aggravate_v our_o grief_n for_o all_o thing_n grow_v strong_a when_o they_o be_v cherish_v but_o these_o natural_a distemper_n which_o spring_n and_o sprout_v so_o easy_o of_o themselves_o will_v soon_o become_v headstrong_a if_o they_o be_v not_o withstand_v and_o either_o deny_v entrance_n or_o quick_o turn_v out_o of_o door_n that_o they_o do_v not_o settle_v within_o we_o and_o for_o that_o purpose_n we_o may_v do_v four_o thing_n 1_o we_o must_v divert_v our_o thought_n some_o other_o way_n and_o turn_v they_o on_o some_o better_a object_n for_o as_o husbandman_n when_o their_o
