token_n of_o the_o horrible_a vengeance_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o they_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n you_o see_v then_o that_o many_o man_n be_v touch_v with_o god_n hand_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v accurse_v for_o they_o begin_v their_o hell_n in_o this_o world_n as_o we_o have_v example_n of_o all_o they_o that_o amend_v not_o their_o wicked_a life_n when_o god_n send_v affliction_n upon_o they_o but_o a_o man_n shall_v see_v they_o take_v a_o corner_n and_o stand_v bark_v like_a dog_n &_o although_o they_o can_v do_v no_o more_o yet_o they_o cease_v not_o to_o show_v continual_a madness_n or_o else_o they_o be_v like_o horse_n and_o mule_n like_o resty_a jade_n or_o final_o 32.9_o psal_n 32.9_o they_o be_v altogether_o over-sotted_n so_o that_o they_o know_v not_o their_o own_o harm_n or_o misery_n i_o mean_v as_o to_o consider_v the_o hand_n that_o strike_v they_o will_v cry_v out_o alas_o and_o they_o feel_v the_o blow_n yet_o they_o think_v never_o the_o more_o upon_o god_n hand_n neither_o know_v they_o how_o it_o be_v he_o that_o visit_v they_o we_o see_v then_o before_o our_o eye_n that_o many_o man_n be_v the_o more_o unhappy_a for_o be_v chastise_v at_o god_n hand_n because_o they_o profit_v not_o in_o his_o school_n nor_o yet_o take_v any_o good_a by_o his_o correction_n let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o when_o god_n make_v we_o to_o feel_v his_o hand_n so_o as_o we_o be_v humble_v under_o it_o he_o give_v we_o a_o special_a benefit_n and_o it_o be_v a_o privilege_n that_o he_o give_v to_o none_o but_o to_o his_o own_o child_n when_o we_o feel_v the_o correction_n which_o he_o send_v we_o and_o also_o be_v thereby_o teach_v to_o mislike_v of_o ourselves_o for_o our_o offence_n to_o sigh_v and_o groan_v for_o they_o before_o he_o and_o to_o fly_v to_o his_o mercy_n for_o refuge_n it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o he_o have_v wrought_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n for_o it_o be_v too_o high_a a_o point_n of_o wisdom_n to_o grow_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n it_o must_v proceed_v of_o the_o free_a goodness_n of_o our_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n must_v first_o have_v soften_v that_o curse_a hardness_n and_o stubbornness_n whereunto_o we_o be_v incline_v of_o nature_n ever_o since_o the_o transgression_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n adam_n and_o eue._n let_v we_o mark_v then_o out_o of_o this_o branch_n of_o david_n prayer_n in_o his_o great_a affliction_n and_o travel_n vexation_n both_o of_o body_n and_o spirit_n which_o inward_a grief_n proceed_v from_o the_o remorse_n of_o sin_n wherewith_o he_o be_v grieve_v and_o torment_v that_o god_n child_n be_v not_o stubborn_a under_o his_o hand_n but_o be_v overmaster_v and_o tame_v by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o the_o intent_n they_o shall_v not_o strive_v against_o the_o affliction_n which_o he_o send_v unto_o they_o but_o yet_o will_v this_o say_n seem_v strange_a after_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o flesh_n for_o whatsoever_o affliction_n or_o tribulation_n fall_v out_o otherwise_o then_o we_o will_v have_v they_o we_o term_v they_o adversity_n when_o we_o suffer_v any_o hunger_n thirst_n cold_a or_o heat_n we_o say_v that_o every_o one_o of_o these_o be_v a_o adversity_n why_o so_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o we_o will_v willing_o have_v our_o own_o appetite_n and_o desire_n fulfil_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o in_o good_a sooth_n this_o manner_n of_o speech_n to_o say_v that_o the_o affliction_n and_o tribulation_n that_o god_n send_v upon_o we_o be_v adversity_n that_o be_v to_o say_v thing_n against_o we_o be_v not_o without_o reason_n nevertheless_o we_o must_v understand_v the_o end_n of_o they_o namely_o that_o god_n scourge_v of_o we_o be_v because_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o therefore_o by_o flatter_v ourselves_o let_v we_o not_o beguile_v ourselves_o furthermore_o i_o have_v already_o preach_v unto_o you_o not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v requisite_a for_o we_o to_o consider_v that_o god_n scourge_v of_o we_o be_v because_o he_o hate_v sin_n and_o that_o his_o summon_n of_o we_o before_o he_o be_v to_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v he_o to_o be_v our_o judge_n but_o also_o that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o he_o to_o reach_v out_o his_o arm_n unto_o we_o and_o to_o show_v we_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o whensoever_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o he_o by_o true_a repentance_n so_o then_o we_o perceive_v that_o they_o who_o god_n chasten_v be_v happy_a notwithstanding_o that_o we_o shun_v adversity_n as_o much_o as_o we_o possible_o can_v also_o we_o shall_v never_o consent_v to_o this_o doctrine_n to_o receyve_v it_o with_o our_o heart_n until_o that_o faith_n have_v make_v we_o to_o behold_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n which_o he_o use_v towards_o his_o servant_n when_o he_o draw_v they_o back_o to_o himself_o and_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o comprehend_v this_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o become_v of_o man_n when_o god_n leave_v they_o to_o themselves_o &_o make_v none_o account_v of_o cleanse_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n look_v upon_o a_o man_n that_o be_v give_v to_o all_o evil_a for_o example_n a_o despiser_n of_o god_n if_o god_n permit_v he_o and_o chastise_v he_o not_o you_o shall_v see_v he_o harden_v himself_o &_o the_o devil_n shall_v carry_v he_o still_o far_o and_o far_o and_o therefore_o it_o have_v be_v much_o better_a for_o he_o that_o he_o have_v be_v chastise_v soon_o and_o so_o the_o great_a hurt_n that_o can_v light_v upon_o we_o be_v god_n to_o suffer_v we_o to_o welter_v in_o our_o own_o
