learn_v to_o endure_v with_o a_o equal_a mind_n as_o a_o man_n these_o change_v up_o and_o down_o much_o be_v it_o with_o grace_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n grace_v it_o be_v infinite_o better_a than_o plato_n philosophy_n beside_o all_o other_o benefit_n from_o grace_n the_o word_n of_o god_n grace_n it_o both_o show_v what_o we_o be_v homines_fw-la man_n of_o mortality_n and_o enable_v we_o to_o be_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v virro_n man_n of_o virtue_n strong_a and_o stout_a prepare_v for_o the_o endure_a of_o tribulation_n here_o now_o be_v this_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n with_o a_o emphasis_n set_v upon_o it_o he_o set_v it_o down_o vir_fw-la not_o homo_fw-la blessed_n be_v the_o man_n that_o endure_v tentation_n here_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n the_o next_o we_o be_v to_o look_v on_o be_v the_o passive_a qualification_n the_o man_n that_o endure_v temptation_n or_o tribulation_n temptation_n be_v the_o word_n but_o tribulation_n be_v the_o meaning_n it_o be_v not_o here_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o spiritual_a temptation_n but_o of_o corporal_a temptation_n of_o the_o spiritual_a temptation_n he_o speak_v afterward_o in_o the_o word_n that_o follow_v but_o here_o of_o the_o temptation_n of_o trial_n not_o of_o seduction_n yet_o the_o apostle_n will_v rather_o express_v it_o thus_o he_o will_v use_v this_o word_n he_o call_v tribulation_n temptation_n as_o show_v a_o holy_a conquest_n he_o have_v get_v of_o it_o already_o he_o express_v it_o by_o a_o easy_a word_n as_o st._n paul_n 2_o cor._n 12._o he_o have_v one_o word_n peculiar_a to_o he_o that_o he_o call_v tribulation_n weakness_n infirmity_n st._n paul_n fillip_n they_o off_o with_o a_o easy_a slight_a word_n though_o he_o suffer_v so_o much_o they_o be_v but_o infirmity_n as_o st._n paul_n have_v that_o word_n proper_a to_o himself_o of_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n so_o st._n james_n have_v this_o word_n almost_o peculiar_a to_o he_o to_o call_v tribulation_n temptation_n and_o trial_n of_o the_o temptation_n of_o ●seduction_n it_o be_v not_o general_o true_a that_o there_o be_v blessedness_n and_o happiness_n for_o the_o man_n that_o endure_v they_o a_o man_n be_v not_o to_o endure_v they_o but_o to_o repel_v they_o if_o they_o be_v suggestion_n that_o arise_v either_o as_o it_o be_v a_o man_n first_o happiness_n not_o to_o have_v they_o and_o his_o 2._o to_o overcome_v they_o so_o it_o be_v a_o man_n first_o misery_n to_o have_v they_o and_o his_o 2._o misery_n to_o yield_v unto_o they_o those_o temptation_n be_v not_o to_o be_v endure_v but_o disdain_v and_o abhor_v and_o cast_v out_o of_o our_o heart_n it_o be_v not_o bless_v be_v the_o man_n that_o endure_v these_o but_o bless_a be_v the_o man_n that_o suppress_v they_o and_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o injected_a temptation_n from_o satan_n it_o do_v not_o hold_v in_o the_o universal_a blessedness_n do_v not_o always_o belong_v to_o the_o endure_v of_o they_o it_o be_v true_a if_o god_n send_v a_o messenger_n of_o satan_n to_o buffet_v we_o and_o we_o do_v not_o yield_v he_o that_o endure_v patient_o shall_v not_o want_v the_o crown_n promise_v but_o the_o first_o care_n a_o christian_a must_v take_v it_o to_o resist_v these_o resist_v the_o devil_n and_o he_o will_v flee_v if_o a_o man_n out_o of_o faintness_n of_o spirit_n yield_v to_o these_o temptation_n he_o bring_v not_o a_o blessing_n but_o a_o curse_n so_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o temptation_n there_o be_v not_o blessedness_n to_o the_o endure_v of_o they_o but_o to_o the_o repel_v of_o they_o but_o let_v they_o go_v because_o it_o be_v understand_v here_o of_o the_o temptation_n of_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n and_o chastisement_n it_o be_v well_o they_o be_v call_v temptation_n in_o two_o regard_n they_o be_v call_v temptation_n one_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o good_a effect_n they_o shall_v produce_v the_o good_a effect_n be_v this_o to_o be_v trial_n of_o that_o grace_n and_o virtue_n that_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o for_o all_o tribulation_n be_v god_n sacred_a furnace_n his_o holy_a celestial_a touchstone_n whereby_o god_n take_v a_o trial_n of_o those_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o we_o they_o be_v send_v for_o the_o proof_n and_o trial_n of_o virtue_n therefore_o they_o be_v call_v temptation_n because_o as_o temptation_n try_v of_o what_o spirit_n a_o man_n be_v whither_o he_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v the_o suggestion_n so_o affliction_n make_v trial_n of_o a_o man_n nothing_o more_o prove_v a_o man_n spirit_n of_o what_o mettle_n he_o be_v make_v then_o tribulation_n when_o the_o sun_n shine_v fair_a all_o be_v well_o with_o we_o a_o little_a virtue_n will_v go_v far_o but_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o temptation_n the_o day_n of_o affliction_n and_o chastisement_n and_o tribulation_n than_o it_o be_v see_v what_o be_v in_o man_n there_o need_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n and_o if_o it_o be_v there_o it_o will_v show_v itself_o it_o be_v call_v temptation_n because_o of_o the_o good_a effect_n it_o shall_v produce_v and_o then_o because_o of_o the_o evil_a effect_n it_o may_v produce_v there_o be_v none_o of_o all_o these_o chastisement_n that_o god_n send_v but_o if_o they_o be_v not_o sanctify_v they_o prove_v temptation_n poverty_n pain_n of_o body_n disgrace_n in_o the_o world_n whatsoever_o ordinary_a way_n man_n take_v to_o ease_v themselves_o ordinary_o the_o effect_n be_v they_o drive_v they_o to_o repine_v and_o murmur_n to_o ill_a mean_n of_o supply_n a_o worldly_a man_n be_v no_o soon_o afflict_v but_o present_o he_o bethink_v himself_o what_o way_n soever_o he_o may_v get_v out_o of_o tribulation_n thus_o they_o may_v prove_v temptation_n because_o they_o may_v sometime_o occasion_v temptation_n to_o make_v man_n profane_v the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o make_v man_n deny_v god_n and_o disobey_v his_o will_n and_o lead_v they_o out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o piety_n thus_o they_o prove_v temptation_n if_o they_o be_v not_o sanctify_v if_o grace_n come_v not_o between_o grace_n come_v between_o and_o keep_v they_o from_o prove_v temptation_n when_o they_o be_v sanctify_v that_o we_o be_v not_o seduce_v therefore_o they_o be_v call_v temptation_n and_o the_o word_n be_v use_v equivalent_o in_o diverse_a place_n that_o that_o st._n paul_n call_v rejoice_v in_o tribulation_n st._n

to_o the_o greek_a copy_n it_o will_v afford_v one_o or_o two_o very_a good_a point_n of_o instruction_n and_o the_o read_n be_v not_o at_o all_o dissonant_n to_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n for_o

wherewith_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v clothe_v they_o desire_v to_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n it_o must_v needs_o argue_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o glory_n as_o much_o as_o
