a_o epitaph_n subject_n or_o consolatorie_a epistle_n upon_o the_o death_n of_o the_o say_v young_a man_n write_a to_o his_o mother_n by_o m._n r._n b._n preacher_n of_o the_o evangel_n mistress_n it_o have_v please_v god_n in_o his_o most_o wise_a and_o admirable_a providence_n to_o make_v trouble_n and_o affliction_n in_o this_o life_n common_a to_o the_o godly_a and_o the_o wicked_a to_o let_v the_o world_n see_v that_o the_o godly_a do_v wyselie_o seek_v and_o expect_v happiness_n in_o another_o place_n and_o that_o wicked_a man_n be_v fool_n to_o seek_v for_o it_o here_o where_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v but_o these_o temporal_a calamity_n as_o they_o have_v diverse_a effect_n in_o the_o evil_a and_o in_o the_o good_a so_o they_o come_v not_o to_o they_o with_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_o commission_n or_o direction_n from_o divine_a providence_n for_o god_n when_o he_o send_v out_o great_a affliction_n and_o calamity_n against_o the_o wicked_a such_o as_o poverty_n disgrace_n sickness_n and_o death_n he_o give_v they_o a_o full_a commission_n to_o hurt_v and_o destroy_v like_o that_o commission_n which_o he_o give_v to_o king_n saul_n against_o the_o amalekite_n 18._o go_v and_o utterlie_o destroy_v the_o sinner_n the_o amalekite_n and_o fight_v against_o they_o until_o they_o be_v consume_v but_o when_o he_o send_v affliction_n to_o his_o own_o child_n he_o give_v they_o a_o limit_a commission_n or_o rather_o a_o love_a charge_n like_o that_o which_o david_n give_v to_o joab_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o captayn_n concern_v absalon_n against_o who_o they_o be_v to_o fight_v deal_v gentle_o say_v he_o for_o my_o sake_n with_o the_o young_a man_n even_o with_o absalon_n 5_o for_o he_o have_v ordain_v the_o affliction_n of_o the_o godly_a how_o sharp_a and_o grievous_a soever_o they_o be_v to_o hurt_v little_a and_o for_o a_o moment_n but_o to_o profit_n much_o and_o to_o all_o eternity_n and_o for_o this_o effect_n as_o he_o give_v to_o his_o own_o in_o their_o trouble_n that_o great_a comforter_n who_o secret_a operation_n upon_o their_o heart_n be_v most_o powerful_a and_o wonderful_a so_o also_o he_o have_v appoint_v

they_o 4_o and_o to_o comfort_v they_o by_o that_o comfort_n wherewith_o themselves_o have_v be_v comfort_v of_o god._n 4._o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n as_o it_o be_v incumbent_n to_o all_o so_o especial_o to_o those_o who_o he_o have_v call_v to_o preach_v that_o word_n which_o be_v the_o storehouse_n of_o comfort_n and_o therefore_o i_o who_o although_o most_o unworthy_a be_o by_o god_n singular_a mercy_n adjoin_v to_o that_o number_n hear_v of_o your_o great_a heaviness_n and_o sorrow_n for_o the_o departure_n of_o your_o son_n and_o know_v you_o to_o be_v one_o of_o those_o who_o god_n have_v ordain_v to_o be_v gentle_o deal_v with_o and_o comfort_v in_o all_o their_o tribulation_n i_o think_v myself_o bind_v to_o write_v something_o unto_o you_o at_o this_o time_n for_o your_o comfort_n especial_o see_v i_o know_v more_o of_o that_o young_a man_n his_o secret_a walk_n with_o god_n than_o any_o other_o and_o consequent_o be_o able_a to_o give_v you_o most_o particular_a and_o credible_a assurance_n of_o the_o holiness_n of_o his_o life_n where_o from_o you_o may_v easy_o collect_v the_o happiness_n of_o his_o death_n of_o this_o he_o himself_o give_v some_o signification_n upon_o his_o deathbed_n to_o those_o who_o be_v then_o present_a with_o he_o for_o when_o that_o last_o hour_n to_o he_o a_o most_o happy_a hour_n approach_v he_o after_o the_o example_n of_o hezekiah_n comfort_v himself_o with_o this_o 3._o that_o he_o have_v walk_v before_o god_n in_o truth_n and_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n do_v for_o confirmation_n of_o that_o which_o he_o say_v take_v himself_o to_o two_o witness_n to_o god_n the_o only_o eyewitness_n of_o the_o secret_a counsel_n of_o his_o heart_n and_o to_o i_o then_o absent_a from_o he_o as_o to_o

for_o his_o deal_n towards_o you_o and_o other_o in_o the_o like_a case_n 21._o job_n express_v it_o in_o these_o two_o short_a sentence_n the_o lord_n give_v and_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v away_o

first_o seem_v not_o to_o import_v any_o matter_n of_o joy_n because_o it_o look_v to_o the_o time_n bypass_a and_o only_o signify_v that_o once_o we_o be_v happy_a the_o other_o seem_v to_o import_v real_a misery_n because_o it_o be_v meerlie_o privative_a and_o signify_v that_o the_o happiness_n we_o once_o have_v be_v now_o remove_v but_o if_o we_o shall_v du_o weigh_v these_o word_n and_o
