the_o latter_a but_o the_o former_a he_o shall_v never_o lose_v as_o a_o woman_n that_o have_v a_o great_a jointure_n go_v abroad_o some_o journey_n and_o meet_v with_o thief_n and_o they_o take_v

for_o the_o present_a and_o yet_o may_v love_v he_o with_o paternal_a love_n so_o god_n may_v and_o do_v love_n though_o for_o the_o present_a displease_v but_o when_o man_n measure_v eternal_a

that_o do_v walk_v by_o particular_a providence_n experience_n word_n manifestation_n and_o income_n of_o love_n and_o when_o they_o have_v they_o than_o
a_o fault_n and_o a_o man_n take_v the_o one_o and_o correct_v he_o and_o let_v the_o other_o go_v it_o argue_v rather_o that_o he_o be_v his_o father_n than_o not_o so_o though_o chastisement_n do_v not_o always_o argue_v god_n to_o be_v our_o father_n yet_o it_o do_v rather_o argue_v his_o fatherly_a love_n than_o not_o answ_n 2_o and_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n in_o god_n that_o be_v not_o a_o

it_o come_v from_o god_n love_n to_o we_o for_o our_o love_n be_v but_o a_o reflection_n of_o god_n love_n and_o it_o do_v flow_v from_o he_o and_o if_o i_o can_v say_v i_o love_v god_n never_o the_o

than_o it_o do_v come_v from_o love_n as_o many_o as_o he_o love_v he_o chastise_v and_o bless_v be_v the_o man_n who_o thou_o chastise_v and_o teach_v out_o of_o thy_o law_n so_o that_o if_o

affliction_n in_o such_o a_o time_n as_o man_n may_v grow_v in_o grace_n it_o argue_v his_o love_n five_o when_o god_n be_v especial_o present_a in_o affliction_n and_o more_o present_a in_o a_o affliction_n than_o at_o another_o time_n it_o argue_v that_o the_o affliction_n do_v come_v from_o love_n now_o whoever_o you_o be_v that_o make_v this_o objection_n and_o fear_v the_o affliction_n do_v not_o come_v from_o love_n be_v you_o not_o able_a to_o say_v thus_o i_o find_v it_o indeed_o though_o i_o have_v be_v much_o afflict_v yet_o through_o grace_n i_o have_v bâ—en_o able_a to_o
