to_o be_v this_o lord_n now_o my_o trouble_n and_o pain_n excruciat_n and_o torment_n i_o and_o my_o life_n be_v more_o wearisome_a to_o i_o than_o the_o hireling_n day_n can_v be_v to_o he_o

man_n life_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v determine_v and_o whether_o the_o period_n of_o every_o man_n life_n be_v so_o fix_v and_o bound_v that_o by_o his_o care_n good_a managery_n and_o use_n of_o

this_o plain_a text_n of_o scripture_n that_o the_o day_n of_o every_o man_n life_n be_v determine_v but_o the_o manner_n how_o be_v leave_v unexplain_v and_o this_o we_o do_v not_o learn_v from_o scripture_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o our_o curiousity_n will_v forbear_v any_o enquiry_n into_o thing_n that_o be_v hide_v but_o alas_o our_o inclination_n be_v so_o wicked_a and_o preverse_a that_o nitimur_fw-la in_o vetitum_fw-la we_o be_v always_o bend_v and_o eager_a in_o our_o inquiry_n after_o thing_n of_o a_o mysterious_a alloy_n and_o god_n know_v how_o miserable_o some_o man_n have_v mistake_v in_o their_o enqiry_n after_o a_o solution_n of_o the_o present_a doubt_n and_o if_o i_o can_v promise_v to_o myself_o to_o rectify_v those_o huge_a mistake_v some_o

four_o thing_n which_o will_v contribute_v to_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o it_o first_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n that_o every_o man_n life_n have_v a_o period_n it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v this_o be_v a_o warfare_n from_o which_o there_o be_v no_o discharge_n what_o man_n be_v he_o that_o live_v and_o shall_v not_o see_v death_n as_o to_o this_o the_o prince_n and_o peasant_n stand_v upon_o even_a term_n and_o as_o the_o wise_a man_n tell_v we_o the_o rich_a and_o poor_a meet_v together_o there_o be_v no_o justle_n in_o the_o grave_a for_o precedency_n i_o confess_v it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o pain_n to_o consider_v the_o trivial_a instance_n take_v from_o the_o translation_n to_o enoch_n and_o elias_n to_o infringe_v this_o position_n for_o first_o we_o be_v not_o to_o debate_v what_o god_n may_v do_v he_o have_v a_o sovereignty_n over_o his_o creature_n and_o must_v not_o be_v call_v to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o his_o action_n all_o who_o way_n be_v tract_n of_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n second_o we_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o translation_n he_o who_o will_v positive_o say_v that_o they_o do_v not_o undergo_v that_o which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o death_n will_v say_v more_o than_o he_o can_v prove_v i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o no_o sober_a man_n will_v say_v that_o they_o enter_v their_o heavenly_a habitation_n with_o their_o unrefined_a body_n no_o more_o than_o those_o who_o rise_v at_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o last_o trumpet_n in_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n be_v carry_v into_o heaven_n without_o any_o change_n second_o it_o be_v also_o unquestionable_a that_o sin_n introduce_v this_o period_n to_o every_o man_n life_n the_o primitive_a threaten_a rus_fw-la thus_o in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v

consideration_n also_o prevail_v with_o thou_o that_o my_o untender_a friend_n sad_o mistake_v thy_o design_n in_o afflict_v i_o they_o conclude_v it_o be_v for_o some_o secret_a heinous_a crime_n that_o thy_o judgement_n be_v upon_o i_o o_o that_o thou_o will_v turn_v from_o thy_o wrath_n that_o i_o may_v enjoy_v some_o rest_n before_o i_o go_v whence_o i_o shall_v not_o return_v this_o phrase_n turn_v from_o he_o be_v sometime_o take_v in_o a_o very_a bad_a sense_n thus_o we_o find_v the_o wicked_a sad_o characterise_v as_o a_o people_n who_o desire_n god_n to_o depart_v from_o they_o but_o as_o it_o be_v utter_v by_o the_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o pressure_n of_o affliction_n it_o imply_v no_o more_o but_o a_o serious_a desire_n that_o god_n will_v be_v please_v to_o remove_v that_o burden_n now_o in_o such_o innocent_a petition_n there_o appear_v no_o crime_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o affliction_n simple_o consider_v be_v grievous_a even_o to_o the_o best_a of_o man_n kind_a there_o be_v no_o affliction_n say_v the_o apostle_n for_o the_o present_a that_o be_v joyous_a but_o grievous_a it_o be_v true_a impatience_n under_o affliction_n be_v a_o excess_n which_o no_o excuse_n whatsoever_o can_v pardon_v there_o be_v some_o person_n of_o such_o hasty_a complexion_n that_o they_o rise_v in_o passion_n against_o god_n if_o they_o meet_v with_o the_o least_o affliction_n just_o like_o that_o wretched_a man_n who_o say_v this_o evil_n be_v of_o the_o lord_n why_o shall_v we_o wait_v any_o long_o upon_o he_o but_o those_o petition_n of_o the_o faithful_a in_o holy_a writ_n although_o at_o the_o first_o view_n they_o seem_v to_o be_v peremptory_a and_o absolute_a yet_o they_o be_v true_o qualify_v and_o submissive_a and_o at_o the_o most_o only_o express_v the_o harmless_a resentment_n of_o innocent_a nature_n that_o can_v but_o express_v how_o contrary_a affliction_n be_v to_o it_o that_o he_o may_v rest_v ut_fw-la quiescat_fw-la sc_fw-la paululum_fw-la that_o his_o affliction_n be_v remove_v he_o may_v yet_o enjoy_v a_o little_a space_n to_o solace_v himself_o till_o he_o accomplish_v his_o day_n i_o will_v purposely_o decline_v the_o answer_n of_o that_o query_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o wish_v death_n when_o our_o condition_n be_v charge_v with_o a_o surplusage_n of_o caamity_n for_o the_o brevity_n i_o design_n will_v not_o suffer_v i_o to_o survey_v the_o difficulty_n of_o that_o case_n only_o in_o the_o general_n i_o shall_v add_v two_o thing_n 1._o if_o the_o affliction_n be_v violent_a fierce_a and_o seem_o durable_a render_v we_o uncapable_a of_o exercise_v any_o duty_n i_o question_v not_o but_o common_a reason_n will_v suggest_v to_o every_o sober_a man_n that_o in_o that_o case_n death_n be_v more_o eligible_a than_o life_n yet_o 2._o since_o we_o be_v ignorant_a what_o god_n design_n to_o we_o by_o send_v we_o such_o affliction_n it_o be_v our_o part_n to_o submit_v to_o the_o lord_n will_v and_o say_v good_a be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n thus_o although_o we_o may_v comparative_o and_o submissive_o wish_v death_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o some_o acute_a trial_n yet_o it_o be_v never_o lawful_a to_o be_v peremptory_a and_o absolute_a in_o such_o desire_n for_o frequent_o the_o happy_a event_n make_v man_n conclude_v that_o be_v be_v good_a for_o they_o they_o be_v afflict_v rest_v etc._n etc._n methinks_v the_o very_a sound_n of_o this_o word_n be_v full_a of_o ravish_a sweetness_n and_o pleasure_n and_o yet_o to_o those_o who_o be_v state_v in_o a_o condition_n of_o woe_n and_o misery_n it_o be_v bitter_a and_o harsh_a as_o the_o most_o ravish_a and_o pleasant_a music_n be_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o he_o who_o be_v sad_a those_o who_o never_o taste_v the_o honeycomb_n know_v not_o its_o sweetness_n the_o man_n who_o have_v be_v always_o drudge_n and_o slave_n have_v no_o discern_v what_o liberty_n be_v and_o those_o who_o from_o their_o

only_o the_o unexpected_a change_n but_o also_o their_o former_a happiness_n add_v to_o their_o misery_n and_o make_v their_o condition_n more_o unsufferable_a if_o man_n have_v be_v create_v to_o
