make_v for_o our_o support_n under_o suffering_n as_o one_a since_o the_o generality_n of_o mankind_n be_v not_o likely_a to_o prove_v any_o great_a philosopher_n god_n have_v bestow_v on_o they_o such_o a_o measure_n of_o natural_a courage_n as_o will_v bear_v affliction_n better_o than_o the_o reason_n and_o philosophy_n of_o more_o think_v man_n and_o we_o may_v general_o observe_v that_o those_o who_o make_v the_o least_o use_n of_o their_o reason_n and_o have_v the_o least_o share_n of_o external_n comfort_n have_v the_o great_a portion_n of_o this_o untaught_a courage_n because_o they_o need_v it_o most_o 2._o god_n have_v provide_v the_o great_a support_v for_o the_o best_a man_n those_o who_o use_v their_o reason_n and_o examine_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n will_v more_o easy_o bear_v poverty_n and_o disgrace_n and_o such_o other_o evil_n than_o man_n who_o judge_v by_o opinion_n and_o popular_a mistake_v those_o who_o live_v by_o reason_n and_o govern_v their_o sensual_a appetite_n and_o inclination_n and_o use_v the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n so_o as_o not_o to_o be_v master_v by_o they_o retain_v that_o courage_n and_o strength_n of_o mind_n which_o be_v lose_v by_o softness_n and_o effeminacy_n but_o a_o true_o devout_a man_n who_o believe_v the_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n of_o providence_n and_o the_o reward_n of_o the_o next_o life_n have_v the_o great_a support_n of_o all_o whereas_o a_o impenitent_a sinner_n who_o wound_v his_o conscience_n with_o gild_n and_o a_o atheist_n who_o believe_v neither_o a_o god_n nor_o a_o providence_n have_v nothing_o but_o sottishness_n and_o stupidity_n to_o support_v they_o and_o can_v thing_n be_v better_o order_v for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o virtue_n and_o religion_n good_a man_n whatever_o their_o condition_n be_v have_v the_o advantage_n of_o the_o wicked_a even_o as_o to_o this_o present_a life_n they_o may_v be_v easy_a and_o enjoy_v themselves_o in_o all_o condition_n for_o god_n have_v provide_v for_o their_o present_a support_n but_o if_o bad_a man_n be_v sufferer_n they_o have_v nothing_o to_o support_v they_o and_o though_o they_o be_v prosperous_a they_o feel_v such_o disorder_n of_o passion_n or_o such_o guilty_a fear_n as_o sour_a all_o their_o other_o enjoyment_n 3._o god_n have_v so_o wise_o order_v thing_n that_o we_o can_v support_v ourselves_o under_o suffering_n without_o make_v a_o wise_a and_o good_a use_n of_o they_o for_o the_o best_a argument_n to_o comfort_v we_o under_o suffering_n will_v afford_v we_o no_o comfort_n unless_o they_o make_v we_o better_o it_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n that_o affliction_n be_v appoint_v by_o a_o wise_a and_o good_a god_n but_o he_o who_o consider_v this_o will_v natural_o inquire_v into_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n strike_v will_v search_v and_o try_v his_o way_n and_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n will_v hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o it_o be_v that_o have_v appoint_v it_o that_o affliction_n be_v order_v for_o our_o good_a will_v make_v we_o endeaveour_n to_o reap_v the_o spiritual_a benefit_n of_o they_o for_o that_o affliction_n be_v useful_a be_v no_o comfort_n at_o all_o unless_o we_o make_v a_o wise_a use_n of_o they_o unless_o they_o bring_v forth_o the_o peaceable_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n no_o man_n can_v take_v comfort_n in_o the_o reward_n of_o the_o next_o world_n without_o bear_v his_o suffering_n well_o in_o this_o for_o our_o suffering_n will_v have_v no_o reward_n unless_o they_o make_v we_o better_o unless_o they_o purify_v our_o mind_n and_o exercise_v our_o faith_n and_o patience_n and_o submission_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n three_o i_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o suffer_v then_o to_o sin_n even_o with_o respect_n to_o our_o present_a ease_n because_o suffering_n may_v be_v bear_v by_o a_o innocent_a and_o virtuous_a mind_n but_o gild_n inflict_v a_o unsupportable_a wound_n upon_o the_o spirit_n and_o those_o suffering_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n can_v bear_v be_v rather_o to_o be_v choose_v than_o what_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n can_v bear_v last_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o government_n of_o our_o own_o passion_n contribute_v more_o to_o our_o happiness_n than_o any_o external_a enjoyment_n while_o our_o mind_n be_v disorder_v with_o violent_a and_o tumultuous_a passion_n we_o can_v never_o be_v easie_n and_o happy_a whatever_o else_o we_o enjoy_v for_o this_o give_v such_o a_o wound_n to_o the_o spirit_n as_o no_o external_a enjoyment_n can_v heal_v but_o he_o who_o have_v his_o passion_n under_o government_n who_o know_v how_o to_o love_v and_o fear_n and_o desire_n and_o hope_n though_o he_o may_v be_v a_o great_a sufferer_n can_v never_o be_v miserable_a because_o he_o can_v support_v himself_o under_o all_o other_o suffering_n what_o a_o wrong_a course_n then_o do_v the_o generality_n of_o mankind_n take_v to_o make_v themselves_o happy_a they_o seek_v for_o happiness_n without_o when_o the_o foundation_n of_o happiness_n must_v be_v lay_v within_o in_o the_o temper_n and_o disposition_n of_o our_o mind_n a_o easy_a quiet_a mind_n will_v weather_v all_o the_o storm_n of_o fortune_n but_o how_o calm_a and_o serene_a soever_o the_o heaven_n be_v there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a who_o have_v nothing_o but_o noise_n and_o tumult_n and_o
