of_o this_o i_o think_v there_o be_v some_o christian_n that_o be_v force_v to_o bless_v god_n more_o for_o their_o cross_n than_o for_o their_o mercy_n &_o that_o they_o have_v be_v force_v 〈◊〉_d

praise_v for_o this_o that_o he_o have_v be_v afflict_v o_o it_o be_v comfortable_a to_o the_o christian_n that_o christ_n have_v go_v to_o heaven_n by_o the_o way_n of_o the_o cross_n that_o his_o

hear_v the_o voice_n ●f_o the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o and_o from_o this_o exhortation_n you_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o these_o five_o thing_n first_o that_o every_o cross_n and_o sad_a dispensation_n which_o a_o christian_a meet_v with_o it_o have_v a_o voice_n and_o language_n in_o it_o therefore_o say_v he_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o rod_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v take_v notice_n what_o the_o rod_n say_v and_o what_o it_o call_v for_o from_o you_o the_o second_o thing_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o from_o this_o command_n and_o exhortation_n be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_n to_o observe_v &_o give_v obedience_n unto_o what_o the_o rod_n speak_v a●_n call_v for_o therefore_o be_v the_o command_n give_v forth_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o rod._n the_o three_o thing_n that_o we_o take_v notice_n of_o from_o this_o command_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a unwillingness_n in_o person_n to_o hear_v what_o the_o

appoint_v it_o there_o be_v this_o last_o which_o we_o will_v have_v you_o take_v notice_n of_o from_o this_o command_n and_o exhortation_n it_o be_v a_o great_a point_n of_o spiritual_a widsom_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o take_v up_o and_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o rod_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v the_o man_n of_o wisdom_n shall_v see_v thy_o name_n it_o be_v not_o every_o man_n that_o
