and_o that_o too_o of_o such_o as_o be_v otherwise_o almost_o incurable_a honour_n riches_n and_o a_o prosperous_a condition_n in_o the_o world_n cause_v we_o too_o often_o to_o contract_v those_o sinful_a habit_n which_o we_o never_o come_v to_o reflect_v upon_o much_o less_o to_o repent_v of_o until_o affliction_n make_v we_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o solomon_n tell_v we_o the_o rod_n and_o reproof_n give_v wisdom_n the_o story_n of_o ioseph_n brethren_n be_v remarkable_a they_o have_v sell_v their_o brother_n to_o the_o ishmaelitish_n merchant_n and_o make_v their_o father_n

their_o former_a usage_n of_o their_o brother_n joseph_n and_o now_o they_o cry_v out_o we_o be_v very_o guilty_a concern_v our_o brother_n we_o see_v the_o anguish_n of_o his_o soul_n when_o he_o

repent_v of_o their_o cruelty_n to_o joseph_n one_o liken_v affliction_n to_o the_o rod_n of_o moses_n for_o as_o the_o strike_v that_o upon_o the_o rock_n bring_v forth_o water_n so_o the_o rod_n of_o affliction_n often_o mollifi_v stony-hearted_a sinner_n and_o make_v the_o water_n of_o repentance_n to_o gush_v out_o another_o compare_v it_o to_o a_o file_n for_o as_o that_o cleanse_v the_o iron_n from_o its_o rust_n and_o make_v it_o bright_a so_o affliction_n file_v off_o that_o rust_n of_o sin_n which_o worldly_a prosperity_n have_v contract_v and_o make_v our_o grace_n shine_v more_o bright_a and_o glorious_a the_o scripture_n likewise_o compare_v it_o to_o a_o furnace_n wherein_o gold_n be_v try_v and_o purge_v from_o all_o its_o filth_n and_o dross_n and_o bring_v to_o the_o great_a degree_n of_o perfection_n it_o may_v also_o well_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o purge_v potion_n for_o as_o that_o drive_v the_o corrupt_a and_o ill_a humour_n out_o of_o a_o disease_a body_n so_o affliction_n drive_v out_o evil_a passion_n and_o corrupt_a desire_n and_o affection_n out_o of_o the_o soul_n such_o as_o pride_n vainglory_n sloth_n niceness_n lust_n gluttony_n drunkenness_n and_o many_o more_o and_o elihu_n speak_v to_o job_n of_o the_o affliction_n with_o which_o god_n use_v to_o exercise_v his_o people_n tell_v he_o it_o be_v that_o he_o may_v withdraw_v man_n from_o his_o purpose_n and_o hide_v pride_n from_o he_o he_o do_v indeed_o say_v elihu_n chasten_v he_o with_o pain_n upon_o his_o bed_n and_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o bone_n with_o strong_a pain_n so_o that_o his_o life_n abhor_v bread_n and_o his_o soul_n dainty_a meat_n yea_o his_o soul_n draw_v near_o to_o the_o grave_a and_o his_o life_n to_o the_o destroyer_n lo_o these_o thing_n say_v he_o work_v god_n oftentime_o with_o man_n but_o will_v you_o know_v to_o what_o end_n it_o be_v to_o bring_v back_o his_o soul_n from_o the_o pit_n to_o be_v enlighten_v with_o the_o light_n of_o the_o live_n 4._o another_o benefit_n of_o affliction_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o preservative_n from_o evil_a and_o keep_v we_o from_o many_o sin_n which_o we_o shall_v otherwise_o run_v into_o this_o be_v what_o god_n intend_v by_o the_o prophet_n hosea_n when_o he_o tell_v the_o child_n of_o judah_n that_o be_v bend_v upon_o idolatry_n and_o resolve_v to_o go_v after_o their_o lover_n that_o god_n will_v prevent_v they_o and_o put_v a_o stop_n in_o their_o way_n i_o will_v hedge_v up_o thy_o way_n with_o thorn_n say_v god_n that_o be_v i_o will_v bring_v such_o affliction_n upon_o you_o as_o shall_v be_v as_o so_o many_o thorn_n in_o your_o side_n which_o shall_v put_v a_o stop_n to_o your_o career_n in_o wickedness_n and_o this_o be_v the_o experience_n of_o holy_a david_n long_o before_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o psal._n cxix_o 71._o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o that_o i_o have_v be_v afflict_a if_o you_o ask_v why_o it_o be_v good_a for_o he_o or_o what_o benefit_n he_o find_v by_o it_o he_o ready_o tell_v you_o vers._n 67._o before_o i_o be_v afflict_v i_o go_v astray_o but_o now_o have_v i_o keep_v thy_o word_n and_o therefore_o instead_o of_o murmur_v against_o god_n for_o affliction_n he_o justify_v god_n i_o know_v o_o lord_n say_v he_o that_o thy_o judgement_n be_v just_a and_o that_o in_o faithfulness_n thou_o have_v afflict_v i_o 5._o another_o advantage_n we_o reap_v by_o affliction_n be_v that_o hereby_o god_n put_v we_o upon_o the_o trial_n of_o our_o grace_n there_o be_v many_o that_o will_v swim_v with_o the_o tide_n that_o will_v venture_v when_o the_o stream_n be_v against_o '_o they_o what_o the_o devil_n false_o say_v of_o job_n be_v but_o too_o true_a of_o many_o man_n they_o will_v serve_v god_n for_o nought_o when_o god_n bless_v they_o with_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n and_o they_o have_v all_o that_o their_o heart_n can_v wish_v than_o they_o will_v be_v for_o god_n and_o for_o the_o profession_n of_o religion_n but_o if_o he_o put_v forth_o his_o hand_n and_o take_v away_o what_o they_o have_v they_o will_v be_v like_o those_o that_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n speak_v of_o who_o when_o they_o be_v hungry_a and_o hardly_o bestead_v shall_v fret_v themselves_o and_o curse_v their_o king_n and_o their_o god_n and_o therefore_o iob_n constancy_n under_o those_o great_a affliction_n make_v his_o piety_n and_o patience_n so_o much_o the_o more_o illustrious_a it_o be_v affliction_n that_o show_v we_o which_o be_v hypocrite_n and_o which_o be_v sincere_a christian_n a_o sincere_a christian_a vary_v not_o with_o the_o

to_o the_o king_n that_o can_v be_v and_o have_v there_o be_v no_o occasion_n to_o try_v their_o loyalty_n will_v have_v be_v loyal_a still_o but_o when_o time_n of_o affliction_n and_o trial_n come_v
