will_v be_v by_o prosperity_n or_o adversity_n we_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o know_v better_a than_o ourselves_o what_o be_v expedient_a and_o needful_a for_o we_o object_n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o affliction_n be_v so_o profitable_a unto_o we_o whether_o be_v in_o they_o may_v we_o pray_v for_o deliverance_n out_o of_o they_o or_o no_o answ_n we_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o deliverance_n out_o of_o they_o if_o we_o have_v receive_v that_o good_a by_o they_o which_o god_n intend_v we_o otherwise_o we_o be_v to_o be_v willing_a nay_o desirous_a that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o take_v off_o his_o plaster_n until_o the_o sore_n be_v heal_v lest_o it_o rankle_v and_o grow_v worse_o and_o so_o we_o cause_v the_o lord_n to_o apply_v some_o sharp_a medicine_n to_o lay_v upon_o we_o some_o great_a affliction_n therefore_o in_o thy_o affliction_n call_v upon_o the_o lord_n and_o say_v smite_v lord_n correct_v i_o still_o until_o thou_o have_v do_v i_o good_a by_o thy_o rod_n let_v i_o have_v this_o affliction_n sanctify_v else_o let_v i_o not_o be_v ease_v let_v it_o not_o be_v take_v off_o i_o be_v there_o not_o many_o deliver_v oft_o time_n out_o of_o sickness_n for_o who_o it_o have_v be_v better_a in_o respect_n of_o their_o soul_n they_o have_v still_o continue_v upon_o their_o sick_a bed_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o many_o other_o kind_n of_o affliction_n and_o that_o it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o some_o they_o have_v never_o come_v out_o of_o they_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v in_o affliction_n let_v we_o not_o pray_v for_o freedom_n and_o deliverance_n but_o conditional_o if_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o enlarge_v we_o and_o if_o he_o see_v that_o deliverance_n will_v be_v better_o for_o we_o otherwise_o to_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o keep_v we_o still_o under_o and_o to_o give_v we_o patience_n and_o faith_n to_o bear_v his_o rod_n and_o to_o profit_v by_o it_o but_o if_o any_o shall_v unwilling_o bear_v the_o lord_n yoke_n use_v all_o mean_n he_o can_v to_o cast_v it_o off_o and_o to_o pull_v his_o head_n out_o of_o the_o collar_n this_o show_n that_o such_o a_o person_n do_v not_o desire_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v do_v he_o good_a neither_o do_v he_o acknowledge_v the_o lord_n wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n but_o seem_v to_o tell_v the_o lord_n what_o he_o think_v be_v better_a for_o he_o and_o let_v he_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v either_o keep_v he_o in_o affliction_n long_o than_o otherwise_o he_o will_v or_o else_o that_o this_o affliction_n shall_v be_v but_o a_o forerunner_n of_o some_o great_a judgement_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o vex_v or_o disquiet_v ourselves_o in_o our_o affliction_n and_o so_o make_v they_o more_o grievous_a unto_o we_o then_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v they_o loe_o we_o cast_v ourselves_o upon_o the_o lord_n and_o resolve_v to_o abide_v his_o pleasure_n and_o assure_v we_o ourselves_o that_o the_o long_o we_o be_v under_o his_o hand_n the_o more_o good_a he_o will_v do_v we_o note_n and_o the_o better_a able_a we_o shall_v be_v to_o bear_v his_o hand_n you_o shall_v hear_v a_o new_a
