their_o corn_n wine_n and_o oil_n there_o be_v a_o spring_n in_o divine_a joy_n if_o god_n people_n want_v the_o star_n they_o shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n can_v make_v up_o for_o the_o want_n of_o the_o creature_n four_o another_o ground_n of_o joy_n be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o assurance_n of_o deliverance_n from_o the_o great_a

we_o christ_n deliverance_n be_v a_o assurance_n to_o god_n people_n of_o deliverance_n out_o of_o their_o tribulation_n for_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o our_o lord_n jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a 6.14_o

and_o therefore_o you_o may_v find_v that_o god_n encourage_v his_o people_n under_o all_o their_o persecution_n that_o when_o their_o brethren_n cast_v they_o out_o for_o his_o name_n sake_n he_o

opportunity_n to_o suffer_v for_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v as_o a_o meecy_a by_o way_n of_o inference_n from_o hence_o use_v 1_o first_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o divine_a grace_n that_o be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o man_n suffer_v content_o and_o joyful_o it_o will_v make_v a_o christian_a go_v through_o good_a report_n and_o evil_a report_n use_v 2_o second_o from_o hence_o i_o may_v observe_v likewise_o the_o great_a abatement_n degeneracy_n and_o timerousness_n of_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o professor_n of_o religion_n in_o these_o latter_a

for_o a_o lamentation_n to_o think_v on_o these_o thing_n use_v 3_o three_o hence_o observe_v the_o vast_a difference_n there_o be_v between_o saint_n and_o sinner_n the_o saint_n can_v rejoice_v in_o

with_o 14.10_o prov._n 14.10_o the_o world_n wonder_v how_o the_o saint_n go_v so_o courageous_o through_o suffering_n but_o the_o martyr_n answer_n may_v serve_v to_o answer_v this_o you_o see_v

through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n eternal_a life_n be_v sweet_a the_o assure_a expectation_n whereof_o make_v man_n thus_o to_o suffer_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o saint_n and_o sinner_n upon_o this_o account_n second_o from_o hence_o i_o may_v speak_v matter_n of_o just_a reproof_n to_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n that_o be_v so_o far_o from_o this_o frame_n and_o temper_n to_o rejoice_v in_o suffer_v for_o christ_n name_n you_o ought_v to_o be_v joyful_a in_o tribulation_n but_o i_o fear_v many_o of_o you_o be_v not_o patient_a under_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v they_o joyful_a under_o the_o burn_a coal_n of_o juniper_n and_o shall_v not_o we_o be_v patient_a at_o least_o under_o lesser_a suffering_n dispondency_n be_v a_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o murmur_a and_o repine_v what_o a_o dishonour_n be_v it_o to_o god_n to_o murmur_v under_o affliction_n first_o what_o a_o dishonour_n be_v this_o to_o

say_v chrit_n it_o be_v no_o trouble_n to_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v to_o die_v but_o raither_o that_o he_o die_v no_o soon_o and_o shall_v we_o thus_o return_v evil_a to_o he_o for_o his_o good_a
