at_o the_o end_n they_o have_v a_o time_n to_o get_v and_o ●●me_n to_o lose_v they_o have_v have_v a_o long_a time_n of_o get_v not_o to_o look_v back_o into_o the_o old_a testament_n where_o the_o

full_a answer_n of_o the_o objection_n in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o all-wise_a god_n may_v have_v many_o and_o sound_a reason_n and_o that_o for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o saint_n to_o suffer_v the_o wicked_a to_o prosper_v and_o put_v much_o of_o these_o outward_a thing_n into_o their_o hand_n i_o will_v give_v you_o some_o of_o they_o 1._o answ._n first_o though_o god_n suffer_v the_o wicked_a to_o th●ive_v long_o and_o have_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o these_o ea●thy_a outward_a thing_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o with_o the_o like_a right_n which_o the_o saint_n have_v they_o by_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n have_v only_o outwa●d_a thing_n by_o a_o general_a providen●e_n they_o have_v not_o so_o good_a a●ight_n and_o full_a title_n to_o any_o thing_n as_o the_o saint_n have_v and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o they_o differ_v first_o wicked_a man_n unbeliever_n man_n out_o of_o christ_n may_v have_v much_o put_v into_o their_o hand_n when_o god_n intend_v to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o yet_o it_o be_v only_o as_o they_o be_v subservient_n unto_o his_o glory_n in_o the_o saint_n good_a they_o shall_v have_v little_a comfort_n in_o what_o they_o have_v while_o they_o have_v it_o they_o have_v they_o with_o much_o trouble_n and_o disquiet_v there_o be_v many_o time_n eve●_z a_o hell_n in_o great_a man_n house_n because_o god_n bestow_v not_o outward_a thing_n upon_o they_o out_o of_o love_n not_o to_o do_v they_o good_a but_o the_o saint_n have_v all_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n though_o they_o have_v never_o so_o little_a yet_o they_o be_v happy_a they_o live_v comfortable_o what_o they_o have_v do_v they_o good_a hence_o be_v that_o proverbial_a speech_n of_o solomon_n prov._n 15.16_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n second_o the_o wicked_a man_n out_o of_o christ_n have_v no_o right_a to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v god_n by_o virtue_n of_o any_o promise_n from_o god_n they_o be_v not_o in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o so_o god_n be_v not_o they_o nor_o engage_v to_o they_o by_o promise_n only_o what_o he_o bestow_v upon_o they_o by_o courtesy_n and_o mere_a providence_n it_o be_v god_n expression_n to_o abraham_n i_o will_v give_v to_o thou_o and_o to_o thy_o seed_n etc._n etc._n gen._n 17.8_o now_o believer_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n they_o be_v in_o coven●●●_n with_o god_n they_o may_v claim_v a_o privilege_n as_o child_n they_o have_v a_o right_a by_o promise_n from_o god_n this_o be_v the_o second_o difference_n three_o the_o wicked_a who_o have_v not_o christ_n have_v all_o they_o possess_v without_o christ_n they_o have_v the_o gift_n without_o god_n they_o have_v the_o gift_n without_o grace_n to_o use_v they_o and_o then_o you_o may_v know_v how_o it_o will_v go_v with_o they_o you_o know_v it_o will_v do_v a_o man_n little_a good_a to_o have_v a_o whole_a shop_n full_a of_o curious_a tool_n and_o know_v not_o how_o to_o use_v they_o but_o the_o saint_n have_v god_n and_o the_o gift_n yea_o god_n in_o the_o gift_n they_o have_v the_o holy_a spirit_n bring_v along_o in_o ever_o mercy_n which_o will_v help_v they_o to_o manage_v all_o and_o guide_v they_o in_o all_o and_o so_o sweeten_v all_o to_o they_o turn_n all_o to_o a_o happy_a and_o bless_a use_n that_o all_o be_v for_o their_o good_a it_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o will_v see_v it_o make_v good_a to_o his_o saint_n the_o comforter_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o the_o father_n will_v send_v in_o my_o name_n he_o shall_v teach_v you_o all_o thing_n john_n 14.6_o this_o be_v the_o 3_o difference_n i_o will_v now_o come_v to_o the_o second_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n 2_o a●sw_n 2._o god_n may_v suffer_v the_o wicked_a to_o have_v great_a power_n to_o get_v into_o much_o strength_n the_o better_a and_o more_o effectual_o to_o do_v his_o work_n you_o know_v it_o be_v not_o a_o little_a common_a fire_n that_o will_v melt_v gold_n it_o must_v be_v a_o strong_a fire_n a_o hot_a fire_n now_o god_n saint_n in_o scripture_n be_v compare_v to_o gold_n and_o though_o gold_n the_o chief_a of_o metal_n yet_o it_o have_v dross_n which_o must_v be_v purge_v out_o and_o tak●n_n away_o isa._n 1.25_o that_o be_v even_o the_o best_a of_o god_n saint_n have_v many_o sin_n and_o corruption_n which_o must_v be_v purge_v out_o in_o the_o fire_n of_o af●l●ctions_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n god_n make_v use_v of_o wicked_a king_n and_o great_a man_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n god_n call_v they_o his_o servant_n as_o i_o mention_v at_o large_a in_o the_o reason_n alas_o the_o very_o great_a and_o sharp_a persecution_n that_o ever_o the_o wicked_a raise_v do_v the_o saint_n good_a it_o exercise_v
