world_n from_o hence_o i_o offer_v to_o your_o consideration_n this_o truth_n doct._n 9_o those_o that_o have_v have_v a_o sight_n of_o god_n salvation_n may_v very_o well_o be_v desirous_a of_o dissolution_n and_o think_v long_a till_o that_o happy_a day_n come_v which_o will_v convey_v they_o into_o the_o other_o world_n some_o man_n wish_v for_o death_n mere_o in_o a_o fret_n or_o discontent_a fit_a they_o meet_v with_o disappointment_n and_o cross_n and_o trouble_n their_o estate_n fail_v they_o their_o trade_n grow_v dead_a their_o friend_n unkind_a a_o ship_n at_o sea_n be_v cast_v away_o or_o take_v by_o pirate_n they_o be_v vex_v at_o this_o and_o the_o other_o and_o hereupon_o they_o be_v weary_a of_o life_n and_o now_o whether_o they_o be_v fit_a or_o no_o they_o will_v fain_o die_v thus_o it_o be_v with_o passionate_a jonah_n when_o that_o a_o worm_n have_v smite_v his_o gourd_n that_o it_o wither_v and_o the_o sun_n dart_v his_o scorch_a beam_n upon_o his_o head_n that_o he_o faint_v he_o wish_v in_o himself_o to_o die_v and_o say_v in_o his_o haste_n that_o it_o be_v better_a for_o he_o to_o die_v than_o to_o live_v poor_a man_n he_o have_v be_v put_v out_o of_o sort_n and_o do_v then_o quite_o forget_v himself_o but_o this_o be_v very_o ordinary_a among_o people_n as_o if_o every_o trouble_n of_o life_n shall_v make_v life_n itself_o a_o burden_n and_o as_o if_o though_o our_o comfort_n be_v consume_v it_o be_v not_o still_o of_o the_o lord_n mercy_n that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v not_o consume_v and_o certain_o as_o ordinary_a as_o it_o be_v it_o be_v exceed_o sinful_a it_o speak_v a_o woeful_a impotency_n and_o weakness_n of_o spirit_n yea_o and_o there_o be_v in_o it_o a_o spirit_n of_o rebellion_n against_o god_n when_o man_n will_v live_v no_o long_o than_o god_n use_v they_o as_o they_o themselves_o please_v and_o order_n all_o thing_n concern_v they_o according_a to_o their_o own_o mind_n and_o humour_n if_o we_o do_v but_o serious_o consider_v the_o sovereignty_n of_o god_n and_o that_o as_o we_o be_v his_o creature_n we_o must_v be_v at_o his_o dispose_n we_o shall_v see_v reason_n enough_o to_o submit_v to_o he_o and_o be_v silent_a under_o all_o his_o providence_n how_o great_a and_o how_o heavy_a soever_o our_o cross_n be_v we_o shall_v carry_v it_o patient_o and_o be_v content_a to_o bear_v it_o so_o long_o as_o our_o god_n will_v have_v we_o but_o now_o a_o sight_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o god_n salvation_n by_o christ_n be_v a_o just_a and_o justifiable_a ground_n of_o such_o a_o desire_n so_o that_o still_o it_o be_v with_o submission_n to_o the_o will_n and_o good_a pleasure_n of_o that_o god_n in_o who_o hand_n our_o life_n be_v in_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o point_n i_o shall_v do_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o i_o shall_v show_v how_o or_o in_o what_o way_n a_o soul_n may_v see_v god_n salvation_n 2._o that_o one_o who_o have_v have_v the_o sight_n of_o god_n salvation_n may_v very_o
