the_o surviver_n for_o which_o cause_n it_o have_v be_v write_v and_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v all_o her_o suffering_n be_v o_o no_o courage_n then_o hold_v out_o a_o little_a and_o i_o will_v now_o

be_v able_a to_o content_v the_o soul_n but_o that_o which_o be_v able_a to_o fill_v it_o which_o all_o this_o world_n can_v do_v show_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o such_o in_o these_o earthly_a thing_n as_o we_o imagine_v in_o the_o evil_a day_n or_o time_n of_o trial_n witness_v this_o good_a gentlewoman_n the_o subject_n of_o our_o discourse_n who_o may_v have_v swim_v in_o the_o fullness_n of_o all_o earthly_a pleasure_n all_o which_o be_v nothing_o unto_o she_o she_o be_v dampt_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o so_o as_o nothing_o can_v revive_v or_o joy_v she_o like_a unto_o david_n save_o the_o light_n of_o god_n countenance_n to_o be_v lift_v up_o upon_o she_o and_o therefore_o not_o to_o deceive_v ourselves_o but_o to_o settle_v in_o our_o judgement_n that_o wherein_o only_o true_a solid_a last_a happiness_n consist_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o follow_v that_o with_o all_o our_o might_n second_o then_o see_v hence_o that_o of_o all_o the_o burden_n in_o this_o world_n sin_n be_v the_o most_o insupportable_a especial_o when_o therewith_o in_o any_o measure_n be_v join_v a_o sense_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o if_o god_n as_o it_o be_v in_o amos_n complain_v that_o he_o be_v press_v down_o under_o the_o same_o as_o a_o cart_n under_o the_o sheaf_n the_o sense_n thereof_o also_o make_v david_n to_o roar_v for_o grief_n of_o heart_n have_v also_o breed_v so_o much_o terror_n amazement_n and_o trouble_n unto_o this_o good_a gentlewoman_n for_o so_o many_o year_n together_o be_v free_a of_o gross_a sin_n what_o may_v they_o think_v of_o themselves_o who_o go_v on_o sin_v without_o fear_n live_v and_o go_v on_o in_o grosser_n sin_n without_o repentance_n three_o here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o in_o the_o best_a where_o there_o be_v sin_n there_o must_v and_o will_v be_v smart_a punishment_n though_o it_o be_v forgive_v as_o david_n be_v yet_o we_o may_v sound_o be_v beat_v for_o the_o same_o he_o take_v vengeance_n of_o our_o invention_n as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v for_o this_o good_a gentlewoman_n though_o save_v and_o forgive_v yet_o be_v sound_o beat_v ere_o she_o depart_v hence_o therefore_o to_o be_v afraid_a to_o sin_n and_o to_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o the_o anger_n of_o the_o great_a god_n for_o though_o he_o may_v forgive_v yet_o if_o he_o open_a hell_n unto_o we_o keep_v we_o in_o perpetual_a fear_n as_o upon_o the_o rack_n as_o he_o do_v this_o good_a hentlewoman_n let_v satan_n loose_v to_o buffet_v she_o oh_o what_o comfort_n can_v we_o have_v in_o such_o a_o torment_a die_a life_n have_v our_o happiness_n hide_v form_v our_o eye_n four_o hence_o also_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o more_o belove_v usual_o the_o sound_o beat_v sift_v and_o try_v amos_n 3_o you_o only_o have_v i_o know_v of_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o you_o shall_v not_o go_v unpunished_a for_o all_o your_o iniquity_n wherefore_o correction_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o love_n not_o of_o reprobation_n as_o the_o devil_n persuade_v that_o the_o saint_n shall_v not_o be_v discourage_v though_o storme-beaten_a in_o their_o journey_n homeward_o they_o may_v go_v to_o heaven_n for_o all_o this_o as_o this_o good_a gentlewoman_n do_v five_o and_o so_o here_o also_o we_o may_v gather_v what_o need_n we_o have_v of_o patience_n to_o have_v its_o perfect_a work_n in_o we_o to_o fit_v we_o for_o the_o great_a and_o most_o smart_a affliction_n there_o be_v yet_o some_o light_n in_o this_o dark_a cloud_n the_o sore_a and_o most_o smart_a cross_n end_v usual_o in_o the_o great_a and_o most_o glorious_a deliverance_n witness_v the_o none-such_a trouble_n of_o jacob_n joseph_n job_n david_n the_o church_n forty_o year_n pilgrimage_n in_o the_o wilderness_n &_o of_o this_o good_a

also_o we_o see_v here_o that_o cross_n and_o affliction_n be_v only_o lesser_a and_o great_a as_o it_o please_v the_o great_a god_n to_o set_v they_o on_o less_o or_o more_o as_o it_o please_v he_o to_o abstract_n the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n from_o we_o turn_v loose_a satan_n upon_o we_o enfatuate_a our_o judgement_n give_v we_o some_o taste_n and_o sense_n of_o his_o encensed_a wrath_n oh_o who_o then_o can_v dwell_v with_o such_o everlasting_a burn_n and_o if_o smale_a sin_n discover_v thus_o set_v on_o and_o torment_v yea_o some_o thought_n only_o as_o in_o this_o good_a gentlewoman_n oh_o what_o may_v the_o great_a do_v if_o he_o shall_v aggravate_v they_o discover_v the_o wrath_n due_a unto_o they_o without_o a_o suitable_a sight_n of_o mercy_n therefore_o to_o break_v off_o our_o sin_n betimes_o repent_v of_o they_o and_o to_o sow_v for_o ourselves_o in_o righteousness_n that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o sure_a reward_n and_o be_v able_a at_o last_o to_o stand_v with_o boldness_n before_o the_o son_n of_o man._n seven_o so_o see_v too_o eager_a desire_n of_o feel_v cost_v this_o gentlewoman_n so_o dear_a though_o she_o have_v her_o desire_n therefore_o not_o to_o dote_v too_o much_o upon_o it_o be_v restless_a until_o they_o have_v it_o as_o many_o good_a soul_n do_v who_o like_o rachel_n restless_a for_o child_n cry_v out_o still_o comfort_n comfort_n feel_v feeling_n or_o else_o we_o die_v but_o let_v they_o be_v content_v of_o what_o measure_n thereof_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n think_v best_a for_o they_o for_o he_o who_o have_v create_v they_o for_o eternity_n of_o glory_n sure_o know_v the_o best_a mean_n and_o way_n to_o bring_v they_o thither_o see_v feel_v at_o the_o best_a be_v uncertain_a short_a and_o quick_o vanish_v and_o too_o much_o dote_v upon_o and_o eager_o pursue_v bring_v we_o only_o to_o a_o habit_n of_o discontentment_n without_o it_o whilst_o we_o can_v be_v content_v unless_o every_o day_n the_o almighty_a feast_n we_o forget_v that_o we_o walk_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o sight_n and_o that_o the_o life_n we_o now_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n vision_n and_o sense_n for_o to_o come_v eight_o then_o behold_v from_o this_o rare_a experience_n here_o this_o lesson_n not_o to_o prescribe_v or_o appoint_v god_n a_o way_n which_o way_n to_o bring_v we_o unto_o glory_n he_o know_v the_o fit_a and_o short_a way_n to_o have_v bring_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n unto_o the_o land_n to_o canaan_n without_o pass_v through_o a_o red_a sea_n but_o out_o of_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n he_o make_v choice_n of_o the_o wilderness_n way_n unto_o they_o that_o as_o moses_n show_v he_o may_v prove_v they_o try_v they_o and_o do_v they_o good_a at_o their_o latter_a end_n and_o yet_o how_o crooked_a soever_o his_o way_n seem_v unto_o our_o corrupt_a sense_n they_o be_v always_o straight_o how_o full_a soever_o of_o turn_n and_o wind_n as_o
