disease_n and_o yet_o owe_v those_o grief_n to_o their_o own_o luxury_n and_o lust_n now_o be_v there_o any_o justice_n in_o such_o complaint_n as_o these_o shall_v a_o man_n say_v the_o prophet_n jeremy_n complain_v for_o the_o punishment_n of_o his_o sin_n especial_o for_o such_o punishment_n as_o be_v the_o necessary_a effect_n and_o consequence_n of_o his_o sin_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o man_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v just_a in_o complain_v of_o such_o evil_n as_o these_o that_o they_o have_v much_o more_o reason_n to_o bless_v god_n for_o they_o there_o be_v no_o small_a mercy_n in_o that_o providence_n of_o god_n that_o order_n sin_n to_o be_v attend_v with_o such_o punish_a consequence_n for_o if_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o wean_v man_n from_o their_o ill_a inclination_n notwithstanding_o these_o mortification_n and_o check_n they_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o they_o how_o desperate_o obstinate_a will_v such_o inclination_n grow_v if_o so_o be_v they_o be_v not_o so_o attend_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n as_o for_o all_o those_o evil_n that_o be_v not_o of_o our_o own_o procure_n but_o be_v lay_v upon_o we_o by_o the_o direction_n of_o providence_n what_o justice_n or_o what_o wisdom_n be_v there_o to_o spend_v that_o time_n in_o complain_v which_o we_o may_v otherwise_o employ_v to_o the_o make_v ourselves_o amends_o for_o this_o be_v the_o point_n my_o text_n call_v we_o to_o to_o meditate_v on_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o thence_o to_o draw_v that_o comfort_n that_o be_v needful_a for_o our_o relief_n and_o now_o i_o shall_v add_v a_o motive_n or_o two_o to_o enforce_v the_o practice_n of_o this_o necessary_a duty_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v first_o if_o god_n have_v prescribe_v a_o expedient_a to_o make_v our_o life_n comfortable_a and_o we_o at_o the_o same_o time_n acknowledge_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o all_o other_o expedient_n what_o apology_n can_v we_o make_v for_o not_o apply_v that_o which_o god_n have_v prescribe_v when_o the_o prophet_n elisha_n prescribe_v to_o naaman_n the_o syrian_a for_o the_o cure_n of_o his_o leprosy_n that_o he_o shall_v go_v wash_v in_o jordan_n we_o know_v the_o syrian_a take_v exception_n at_o the_o method_n abana_n and_o pharpar_n rivers_n of_o damascus_n be_v in_o better_a esteem_n with_o he_o and_o why_o shall_v jordan_n be_v prefer_v have_v he_o in_o this_o pett_n return_v to_o damascus_n and_o wash_v in_o his_o own_o country_n rivers_n and_o lose_v his_o pain_n we_o can_v not_o but_o have_v look_v upon_o he_o as_o well_o reward_v for_o his_o peevishness_n but_o the_o syrian_a grow_v wise_a and_o go_v and_o wash_v in_o jordan_n and_o be_v heal_v let_v we_o grow_v wise_a by_o his_o example_n and_o when_o god_n point_v we_o out_o the_o proper_a mean_n for_o our_o heal_n say_v why_o we_o shall_v adhere_v to_o our_o abana_n and_o pharpar_n why_o we_o shall_v prefer_v the_o method_n of_o our_o native_a country_n the_o world_n though_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n universal_a experience_n warn_v we_o that_o we_o must_v necessary_o lose_v our_o pain_n but_o jose_v our_o pain_n be_v not_o the_o worst_a on_o it_o let_v we_o consider_v second_o that_o we_o must_v as_o necessary_o lose_v our_o virtue_n for_o although_o the_o burden_n and_o grief_n of_o affliction_n be_v a_o great_a evil_n yet_o their_o temptation_n be_v usual_o a_o great_a because_o since_o our_o soul_n can_v possible_o close_v with_o affliction_n nor_o be_v content_v with_o uneasiness_n but_o lie_v under_o a_o natural_a force_n to_o seek_v out_o something_o that_o may_v relieve_v it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o take_v hold_n of_o such_o mean_n as_o be_v just_a and_o honest_a to_o relieve_v ourselves_o withal_o we_o can_v but_o engage_v in_o such_o as_o be_v sinful_a and_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o for_o one_o man_n make_v miserable_a by_o bear_v affliction_n thousand_o be_v make_v guilty_a by_o shift_a affliction_n which_o be_v a_o much_o more_o formidable_a issue_n our_o saviour_n therefore_o after_o he_o have_v warn_v his_o disciple_n that_o trouble_n must_v certain_o come_v yet_o he_o frequent_o aim_v they_o with_o this_o advice_n be_v not_o trouble_v let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v see_v that_o you_o be_v not_o trouble_v they_o must_v not_o be_v trouble_v though_o trouble_n come_v that_o be_v when_o trouble_n come_v they_o be_v to_o shelter_v themselves_o under_o the_o consolation_n of_o his_o promise_n and_o there_o stand_v at_o guard_n both_o against_o the_o grief_n and_o the_o temptation_n of_o they_o know_v this_o that_o if_o a_o man_n sink_v under_o trouble_n than_o his_o state_n be_v a_o snare_n because_o it_o hinder_v he_o from_o serve_v either_o god_n or_o himself_o in_o that_o manner_n as_o be_v fit_a but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o a_o man_n betake_v himself_o to_o worldly_a shift_n and_o comfort_n than_o his_o mean_n be_v a_o snare_n and_o betray_v he_o into_o the_o actual_a disservice_n both_o of_o god_n and_o his_o own_o soul_n so_o that_o he_o who_o in_o case_n of_o trouble_n apply_v the_o expedient_a of_o the_o text_n and_o entertain_v his_o mind_n with_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o resurrection_n he_o alone_o be_v in_o the_o proper_a method_n that_o can_v both_o case_n his_o present_a circumstance_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n preserve_v his_o integrity_n i_o must_v confess_v that_o the_o expedient_a of_o the_o text_n lie_v liable_a to_o one_o exception_n which_o be_v this_o that_o however_o excellent_a it_o may_v be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o every_o one_o application_n for_o how_o shall_v every_o man_n draw_v comfort_n from_o the_o prospect_n of_o the_o resurrection_n when_o most_o man_n find_v it_o the_o great_a horror_n of_o their_o thought_n the_o come_v of_o our_o lord_n in_o the_o cloud_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n be_v not_o so_o soft_a a_o contemplation_n as_o to_o sit_v easy_a upon_o every_o one_o mind_n much_o less_o to_o give_v he_o courage_n and_o relief_n and_o this_o indeed_o be_v true_a and_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o may_v sometime_o happen_v that_o the_o best_a medicine_n in_o the_o world_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o heal_v a_o ordinary_a wound_n for_o when_o the_o habit_n of_o blood_n and_o juice_n be_v extreme_o vitiate_a whatsoever_o be_v apply_v will_v not_o so_o much_o heal_v as_o inflame_v but_o than_o what_o do_v the_o patient_n in_o such_o a_o case_n he_o purge_v and_o diet_n till_o such_o time_n as_o his_o habit_n mend_v and_o then_o have_v discharge_v the_o hindrance_n he_o soon_o find_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o medicine_n and_o this_o direct_v the_o method_n in_o our_o parallel_n case_n if_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o resurrection_n do_v not_o comfort_v we_o the_o fault_n lie_v not_o in_o that_o but_o in_o ourselves_o wherefore_o we_o must_v cleanse_v and_o change_v ourselves_o to_o such_o a_o state_n wherein_o the_o application_n may_v have_v better_a influence_n upon_o we_o now_o we_o must_v observe_v for_o the_o great_a commendation_n of_o this_o expedient_a that_o it_o be_v not_o only_a heal_n but_o cleanse_v too_o to_o meditate_v on_o the_o resurrection_n sanctify_v as_o well_o as_o comfort_n and_o be_v as_o effectual_a to_o make_v man_n good_a as_o to_o cheer_v and_o support_v they_o when_o they_o be_v so_o so_o long_o therefore_o as_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o resurrection_n startle_v we_o it_o be_v only_o a_o proof_n that_o our_o mind_n be_v unaccustomed_a to_o the_o subject_a let_v we_o think_v of_o it_o frequent_o and_o it_o will_v grow_v soft_a at_o every_o thought_n we_o shall_v perceive_v it_o to_o loosen_v we_o from_o our_o sinful_a habit_n and_o to_o make_v we_o take_v heed_n to_o our_o way_n and_o to_o raise_v our_o affection_n to_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o then_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o shall_v think_v of_o the_o come_v of_o our_o lord_n the_o graciousness_n of_o the_o redeemer_n will_v void_a the_o terror_n of_o the_o judge_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o enjoy_v the_o prospect_n of_o our_o recompense_n a_o humble_a faith_n secure_v it_o to_o be_v we_o since_o therefore_o to_o meditate_v on_o the_o resurrection_n be_v our_o necessary_a work_n and_o will_v in_o a_o while_n be_v our_o pleasant_a work_n and_o will_v in_o the_o end_n be_v our_o happy_a work_n let_v we_o do_v it_o with_o all_o our_o might_n and_o think_v what_o shame_n it_o will_v be_v to_o have_v it_o say_v that_o many_o honest_a heathen_n spend_v more_o thought_n about_o a_o future_a life_n and_o love_v it_o more_o and_o enjoy_v it_o more_o while_o it_o be_v but_o a_o bare_a conjecture_n than_o we_o do_v now_o it_o be_v a_o certainty_n and_o now_o i_o shall_v conclude_v the_o whole_a with_o this_o reflection_n we_o may_v observe_v that_o all_o those_o glorious_a accession_n and_o improvement_n which_o the_o scripture_n mention_n as_o accrue_v to_o good_a man_n at_o the_o resurrection_n belong_v simple_o to_o the_o body_n it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o body_n shall_v be_v change_v they_o shall_v be_v refine_v and_o sublimate_v and_o so_o prepare_v to_o sustain_v the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n which_o otherwise_o they_o can_v not_o do_v but_o no_o such_o substantial_a improvement_n be_v mention_v of_o the_o soul_n which_o we_o may_v take_v for_o a_o intimation_n how_o noble_a and_o excellent_a a_o be_v the_o soul_n be_v in_o its_o original_a nature_n it_o be_v breathe_v from_o god_n and_o impress_v with_o his_o image_n and_o that_o image_n import_v no_o less_o than_o such_o perfection_n as_o be_v divine_a and_o according_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o itself_o incorruptible_a and_o immortal_a and_o of_o a_o immense_a capacity_n both_o to_o know_v and_o to_o enjoy_v indeed_o it_o be_v constitute_v to_o see_v through_o the_o body_n as_o through_o its_o glass_n and_o that_o glass_n at_o present_a be_v very_o dark_a but_o when_o once_o that_o glass_n shall_v come_v to_o be_v brighten_v so_o soon_o as_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v discharge_v from_o the_o grossness_n of_o flesh_n and_o the_o cloud_n of_o passion_n and_o the_o stain_n of_o sin_n it_o will_v need_v no_o other_o elevation_n to_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n no_o other_o capacity_n to_o comprehend_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n no_o other_o strength_n to_o bear_v the_o weight_n of_o eternal_a glory_n i_o mention_v this_o to_o incline_v our_o thought_n to_o the_o care_n of_o that_o precious_a part_n of_o our_o be_v we_o often_o take_v care_n of_o our_o body_n to_o a_o sinful_a excess_n while_o we_o neglect_v our_o soul_n where_o our_o care_n can_v not_o exceed_v so_o worthy_a they_o be_v of_o all_o the_o care_n we_o can_v bestow_v but_o if_o we_o will_v needs_o take_v care_n of_o our_o body_n why_o so_o much_o of_o these_o vile_a body_n which_o notwithstanding_o all_o our_o care_n be_v every_o moment_n tend_v to_o corruption_n why_o not_o
