that_o it_o assure_v it_o to_o we_o these_o two_o be_v still_o join_v in_o scripture_n the_o cross_n and_o the_o blessing_n tribulation_n and_o happiness_n see_v the_o scripture_n join_v they_o take_v

the_o world_n account_v they_o miserable_a that_o god_n account_v happy_a those_o who_o god_n have_v make_v happy_a it_o be_v very_o vain_a and_o rash_a judgement_n for_o man_n to_o pronounce_v they_o

the_o present_a we_o must_v not_o sever_v blessedness_n from_o tribulation_n it_o be_v just_a as_o people_n that_o be_v ignorant_a when_o they_o see_v the_o sun_n eclipse_v they_o think_v the_o sun_n

to_o sense_n worldly_n man_n be_v creature_n of_o sense_n they_o can_v judge_v of_o spiritual_a thing_n they_o see_v the_o discomfort_n of_o godly_a man_n they_o can_v see_v their_o comfort_n the_o
