decrease_v so_o that_o we_o can_v take_v pleasure_n in_o no_o earthly_a thing_n yet_o then_o may_v we_o encourage_v ourselves_o in_o the_o lord_n nad_z joy_n in_o the_o god_n of_o our_o salvation_n the_o seed_n of_o david_n as_o they_o be_v heir_n of_o david_n suffering_n so_o also_o of_o his_o consolation_n xcviii_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o observe_v and_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o the_o lord_n

here_o only_o be_v the_o mistake_n that_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o pay_v we_o in_o our_o own_o coin_n and_o in_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o blessing_n we_o think_v he_o be_v behind_o hand_n with_o

he_o double_v his_o spirit_n upon_o elisha_n christ_n do_v withdraw_v his_o bodily_a presence_n from_o his_o disciple_n but_o he_o send_v they_o the_o comforter_n the_o lord_n take_v from_o we_o

people_n think_v god_n have_v forget_v to_o be_v gracious_a if_o he_o deliver_v not_o in_o their_o time_n and_o by_o their_o mean_n the_o lord_n do_v therefore_o hide_v the_o mean_n and_o time_n from_o we_o that_o his_o way_n of_o deliverance_n may_v be_v the_o more_o mysterious_a god_n do_v not_o always_o deliver_v from_o the_o trouble_n but_o from_o the_o evil_a of_o it_o nay_o sometime_o

whether_o do_v exceed_v their_o fury_n or_o their_o folly_n see_v that_o which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o enmity_n in_o the_o persecuter_n be_v a_o act_n of_o amity_n to_o the_o persecute_a for_o hereby_o

from_o god_n as_o easy_o as_o they_o can_v divide_v it_o from_o the_o body_n it_o be_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o revenge_n but_o this_o belong_v to_o the_o lord_n only_o to_o who_o vengeance_n belong_v i_o will_v not_o therefore_o fear_v he_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n only_o but_o he_o that_o can_v destroy_v body_n and_o soul_n thus_o though_o they_o destroy_v this_o earthly_a tabernacle_n
