the_o word_n for_o that_o be_v able_a to_o build_v we_o up_o and_o to_o give_v we_o a_o inheritance_n among_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v act_v 20.32_o and_o last_o we_o must_v pray_v without_o cease_v that_o he_o who_o have_v begin_v a_o good_a work_n in_o we_o will_v also_o finish_v it_o and_o grant_v that_o our_o whole_a spirit_n soul_n and_o body_n may_v be_v keep_v blameless_a unto_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o continue_v in_o well_o do_v and_o so_o run_v we_o shall_v obtain_v the_o eleven_o question_n but_o though_o my_o soul_n may_v be_v care_v for_o yet_o my_o body_n may_v be_v in_o want_n i_o want_v already_o many_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a or_o at_o least_o i_o fear_v that_o i_o shall_v want_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v needful_a for_o i_o and_o this_o fear_n make_v my_o life_n the_o more_o fearful_a answer_n doubtless_o if_o our_o soul_n be_v care_v for_o other_o thing_n may_v the_o less_o trouble_v we_o howbeit_o against_o those_o thing_n also_o there_o be_v matter_n of_o comfort_n in_o jesus_n christ_n he_o that_o regard_v the_o soul_n will_v not_o neglect_v the_o body_n and_o he_o know_v what_o we_o have_v need_n of_o and_o if_o we_o be_v of_o his_o family_n he_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o provide_v for_o we_o he_o be_v able_a enough_o to_o help_v we_o for_o the_o whole_a earth_n be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o and_o of_o his_o will_n we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o doubt_v for_o he_o have_v promise_v that_o if_o we_o seek_v first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o his_o righteousness_n all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v add_v as_o it_o be_v over_o and_o above_o and_o into_o the_o bargain_n mat._n 6.33_o and_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o will_v withhold_v no_o good_a thing_n from_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o psal_n 34.9_o 10._o whereupon_o we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o if_o he_o keep_v any_o thing_n from_o we_o it_o will_v be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o be_v without_o it_o so_o that_o we_o may_v well_o say_v with_o the_o prophet_n david_n the_o lord_n be_v my_o shepherd_n i_o can_v want_v psal_n 23.1_o for_o he_o that_o have_v give_v we_o christ_n how_o shall_v he_o not_o with_o he_o also_o free_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n rom._n 8.32_o the_o twelve_o question_n i_o have_v be_v a_o man_n of_o sorrow_n and_o acquaint_v with_o grief_n i_o have_v go_v through_o much_o misery_n already_o and_o many_o be_v the_o cross_n and_o trouble_n that_o be_v upon_o i_o at_o the_o present_a and_o i_o fear_v that_o there_o be_v more_o and_o worse_a yet_o to_o come_v so_o that_o sometime_o i_o begin_v to_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o love_v i_o and_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o doubt_v what_o will_v become_v of_o i_o and_o i_o fear_v that_o my_o patience_n will_v one_o day_n be_v try_v and_o that_o i_o shall_v faint_v in_o the_o day_n of_o evil._n show_v i_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o how_o i_o may_v be_v comfort_v against_o this_o fear_n and_o how_o i_o may_v be_v enable_v to_o wade_v through_o all_o with_o christian_a patience_n answer_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o cross_n and_o trouble_n which_o man_n shall_v meet_v withal_o in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n be_v matter_n of_o offence_n and_o unto_o some_o they_o be_v very_o powerful_a turn_v they_o back_o from_o the_o hope_n lay_v before_o they_o to_o the_o embrace_v of_o this_o present_a world_n but_o if_o we_o will_v think_v upon_o thing_n aright_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o misery_n we_o shall_v have_v comfort_n enough_o to_o refresh_v our_o soul_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o trouble_n that_o can_v befall_v we_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o which_o they_o have_v not_o matter_n of_o strong_a consolation_n which_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ._n now_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o better_o comfort_v against_o all_o cross_n let_v we_o make_v use_n of_o these_o few_o consideration_n follow_v 1._o consider_v that_o it_o be_v no_o new_a or_o strange_a thing_n to_o be_v exercise_v with_o affliction_n neither_o be_v cross_n and_o trouble_v of_o themselves_o a_o argument_n of_o god_n hatred_n but_o rather_o a_o token_n of_o his_o love_n and_o a_o witness_n of_o our_o adoption_n if_o we_o bear_v they_o patient_o and_o make_v good_a use_n of_o they_o there_o be_v not_o any_o affliction_n incident_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n which_o some_o one_o or_o other_o even_o of_o god_n own_o dear_a servant_n and_o child_n have_v not_o be_v exercise_v withal_o look_v upon_o david_n and_o jacob_n and_o joseph_n and_o job_n and_o paul_n and_o all_o that_o cloud_n of_o witness_n make_v mention_v of_o heb._n 11._o and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o through_o many_o affliction_n they_o all_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n nay_o look_v upon_o the_o captain_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o even_o he_o himself_o be_v make_v perfect_a through_o suffering_n heb._n 2.10_o and_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o special_a mean_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o bear_v all_o with_o the_o great_a patience_n when_o we_o shall_v know_v and_o consider_v that_o though_o our_o affliction_n be_v for_o number_v many_o and_o for_o nature_n grievous_a yet_o they_o be_v but_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o better_n 2._o consider_v that_o god_n have_v promise_v never_o to_o leave_v we_o nor_o forsake_v we_o heb._n 13.5_o and_o his_o presence_n alone_o be_v support_v sufficient_a even_o in_o the_o worst_a of_o misery_n how_o can_v jacob_n be_v afraid_a to_o go_v down_o into_o egypt_n when_o god_n himself_o have_v say_v he_o will_v go_v with_o he_o gen._n 46.34_o god_n have_v make_v the_o like_a promise_n unto_o we_o and_o therefore_o if_o he_o bid_v we_o go_v into_o trouble_n if_o he_o command_v we_o to_o walk_v even_o through_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n yet_o we_o need_v fear_v no_o evil_n as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v with_o we_o for_o if_o god_n be_v with_o we_o who_o can_v be_v against_o we_o rom._n 8.31_o 3._o consider_v that_o unto_o such_o as_o do_v believe_v in_o christ_n the_o nature_n of_o affliction_n be_v whole_o alter_v for_o their_o sting_n be_v pull_v out_o and_o their_o bitterness_n be_v allay_v they_o may_v savour_v of_o anger_n of_o wrath_n they_o do_v not_o cross_v they_o may_v be_v curse_v they_o be_v not_o they_o may_v be_v chastisement_n for_o our_o correction_n but_o they_o be_v not_o judgement_n for_o our_o confusion_n for_o christ_n have_v suffer_v whatever_o wrath_n be_v due_a unto_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o if_o we_o be_v once_o reconcise_v unto_o god_n by_o faith_n in_o christ_n there_o be_v more_o matter_n of_o comfort_n in_o the_o assurance_n of_o his_o love_n than_o there_o can_v be_v of_o dejection_n in_o the_o great_a trouble_n 4._o consider_v that_o god_n intend_v nothing_o but_o good_a unto_o we_o in_o his_o sharp_a deal_n with_o we_o for_o it_o be_v all_o to_o humble_v we_o and_o to_o prove_v we_o and_o to_o do_v we_o good_a at_o our_o late_a end_n all_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n that_o we_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o his_o holiness_n for_o hereby_o he_o reform_v what_o have_v be_v amiss_o in_o we_o in_o time_n past_a hereby_o our_o iniquity_n shall_v be_v purge_v and_o this_o be_v the_o fruit_n to_o take_v away_o our_o sin_n isa_n 27.9_o hereby_o he_o prevent_v sin_n in_o we_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v as_o he_o do_v st._n paul_n unto_o who_o there_o be_v send_v the_o messenger_n of_o satan_n to_o buffet_v he_o lest_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v exalt_v above_o measure_n 2_o cor._n 12.7_o hereby_o he_o do_v wean_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a vanity_n as_o long_o as_o all_o go_v well_o with_o we_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v with_o s._n peter_n it_o be_v good_a to_o be_v here_o but_o when_o once_o we_o begin_v to_o be_v afflict_a then_o present_o with_o the_o prodigal_n our_o mind_n be_v homeward_o hereby_o he_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o the_o husbandman_n do_v by_o the_o vine_n he_o pare_v and_o prune_v we_o to_o make_v we_o the_o more_o fruitful_a john_n 15.2_o hereby_o he_o do_v exercise_v our_o faith_n and_o patience_n and_o make_v trial_n of_o our_o sincerity_n as_o he_o do_v by_o job._n and_o so_o in_o this_o he_o lay_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o great_a glory_n for_o great_a affliction_n require_v great_a patience_n and_o the_o great_a our_o patience_n be_v the_o great_a shall_v be_v our_o future_a happiness_n and_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o persuade_v we_o to_o patience_n for_o if_o we_o can_v willing_o endure_v smartingwater_n for_o the_o clear_n
