pardon_n believer_n be_v to_o grieve_v and_o humble_v themselves_o for_o sin_n &_o affliction_n and_o from_o this_o anger_n &_o grief_n joseph_n do_v not_o take_v off_o his_o brethren_n nor_o christ_n his_o disciple_n in_o my_o text_n this_o be_v a_o trouble_v that_o be_v good_a &_o profitable_a for_o they_o but_o as_o sin_n or_o affliction_n be_v behold_v only_o as_o our_o own_o in_o their_o bad_a

joseph_n to_o his_o brethren_n and_o christ_n to_o his_o disciple_n diswad_v from_o and_o no_o course_n be_v so_o full_a to_o remove_v or_o prevent_v it_o as_o this_o look_n on_o god_n the_o author_n of_o it_o and_o the_o good_a which_o he_o bring_v about_o by_o it_o which_o be_v rare_o do_v by_o believer_n yea_o hardly_o know_v &_o therefore_o i_o have_v enlarge_v it_o yet_o let_v i_o close_v this_o mean_n against_o all_o trouble_n as_o our_o saviour_n do_v namely_o that_o you_o know_v who_o be_v believer_n all_o this_o you_o know_v these_o true_a ground_n of_o consolation_n though_o not_o so_o distinct_o or_o particular_o yet_o there_o be_v that_o in_o you_o which_o contain_v all_o these_o consolate_v ground_n if_o you_o will_v stir_v it_o up_o and_o gather_v it_o together_o and_o not_o brutish_o give_v way_n to_o sense_n &_o present_a thing_n and_o to_o the_o passion_n of_o your_o own_o suppose_a false_a ground_n of_o god_n hand_n on_o you_o in_o leave_v you_o to_z sin_z or_o

&_o draw_v by_o consequence_n from_o they_o or_o find_v positive_o and_o absolute_o in_o they_o and_o thus_o these_o verse_n contain_v many_o rich_a &_o pleasant_a truth_n first_o observation_n
