what_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v 2_o cor._n 6.9_o as_o die_v and_o behold_v we_o live_v as_o chasten_v and_o yet_o not_o kill_v as_o sorrow_v and_o yet_o always_o rejoice_v whence_o one_o observe_v that_o our_o sorrow_n have_v a_o quasi_fw-la as_o though_o but_o so_o have_v not_o our_o rejoice_n our_o affliction_n be_v seem_v but_o our_o joy_n be_v certain_a 2_o and_o as_o they_o be_v light_n so_o they_o be_v not_o long_o last_v this_o god_n have_v promise_v his_o church_n isai_n 57.16_o i_o will_v not_o contend_v for_o ever_o nor_o be_v always_o wroth_a for_o the_o spirit_n will_v fail_v before_o i_o and_o the_o soul_n which_o i_o have_v make_v alas_o be_v they_o as_o long_o as_o our_o whole_a life_n yet_o what_o be_v that_o to_o eternity_n david_n compare_v the_o length_n of_o his_o life_n but_o to_o a_o span_n and_o the_o lord_n the_o time_n of_o affliction_n only_o to_o a_o moment_n isai_n 54.8_o nay_o to_o a_o small_a moment_n for_o a_o small_a moment_n have_v i_o forsake_v thou_o but_o with_o great_a mercy_n will_v i_o gather_v thou_o in_o a_o little_a wrath_n i_o hide_v my_o face_n from_o thou_o for_o a_o moment_n but_o with_o everlasting_a kindness_n will_v i_o have_v mercy_n on_o thou_o say_v the_o lord_n thy_o redeemer_n indeed_o it_o may_v seem_v long_o to_o we_o when_o we_o be_v in_o trouble_n sad_a hour_n we_o say_v be_v long_a hour_n but_o we_o mistake_v the_o day_n god_n have_v promise_v to_o deliver_v we_o but_o we_o antedate_v the_o promise_n as_o we_o post-date_n duty_n but_o say_v habakkuk_n 2.3_o though_o it_o tarry_v wait_v for_o it_o because_o it_o will_v sure_o come_v it_o be_v as_o well_o god_n desire_v to_o come_v in_o with_o mercy_n as_o we_o to_o expect_v it_o isai_n 30.18_o the_o lord_n wait_v that_o he_o may_v be_v gracious_a we_o wait_v when_o god_n will_v and_o god_n wait_v when_o he_o may_v when_o mercy_n may_v be_v most_o welcome_a and_o deliverance_n most_o glorious_a 3_o again_o god_n do_v not_o afflict_v we_o above_o our_o strength_n and_o this_o the_o apostle_n verify_v 1_o cor._n 10.13_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o that_o we_o be_v able_a but_o will_v give_v the_o issue_n with_o the_o temptation_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o in_o the_o great_a pressure_n of_o the_o saint_n as_o god_n temper_v the_o rod_n and_o sweeten_v it_o with_o his_o presence_n so_o perpetual_o do_v he_o make_v it_o easy_a to_o they_o by_o his_o assistance_n he_o mete_n out_o affliction_n to_o the_o strength_n of_o our_o poor_a soul_n and_o supply_v strength_n to_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o affliction_n the_o best_a earthly_a physician_n may_v be_v deceive_v in_o the_o disease_n and_o constitution_n of_o his_o patient_n he_o may_v mistake_v in_o the_o quality_n or_o strength_n of_o his_o physic_n and_o so_o miss_v of_o his_o intend_a cure_n but_o the_o physician_n of_o our_o soul_n do_v so_o exact_o know_v our_o temper_n and_o disease_n do_v so_o entire_o affect_v our_o health_n and_o so_o accurate_o mingle_v the_o malign_a and_o poisonful_a ingredient_n in_o our_o physic_n with_o correction_n and_o alley_n that_o the_o confection_n shall_v be_v good_a and_o altogether_o shall_v and_o must_v work_v for_o the_o best_a and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o to_o fear_v either_o to_o be_v oppress_v with_o a_o over_o heavy_a weight_n of_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n or_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v tempt_v above_o our_o power_n in_o regard_n of_o our_o frailty_n and_o infirmity_n see_v he_o who_o make_v the_o wound_n have_v also_o power_n to_o cure_v they_o and_o he_o that_o mix_v our_o cup_n can_v also_o give_v we_o strength_n to_o drink_v it_o according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o eliphaz_n unto_o job_n chap._n 5.18_o 19_o he_o make_v the_o wound_n and_o bind_v it_o up_o he_o smite_v and_o his_o hand_n make_v whole_a the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v bind_v himself_o by_o his_o most_o gracious_a promise_n math._n 12.20_o that_o he_o will_v not_o break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n nor_o quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n till_o he_o bring_v forth_o judgement_n unto_o victory_n indeed_o we_o have_v no_o strength_n in_o our_o own_o self_n to_o encounter_v the_o least_o affliction_n much_o less_o to_o endure_v the_o fiery_a trial_n or_o be_v able_a to_o wrestle_v with_o principality_n and_o power_n but_o we_o be_v support_v with_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n in_o our_o great_a weakness_n and_o hold_v so_o fast_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n that_o the_o strong_a affliction_n enforce_v with_o all_o the_o violence_n of_o man_n or_o devil_n

of_o our_o cross_n be_v the_o greatness_n of_o our_o comfort_n and_o this_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v 2_o cor._n 1.5_o that_o as_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n abound_v in_o we_o so_o our_o
