trouble_n by_o just_o and_o wise_o let_v loose_a the_o ungodly_a to_o scourge_v other_o for_o their_o iniquity_n and_o to_o try_v his_o people_n patience_n but_o that_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v simple_o and_o perfect_o pure_a and_o holy_a who_o can_v behold_v no_o iniquity_n shall_v be_v the_o author_n or_o creator_n of_o spiritual_a evil_n or_o sin_n in_o the_o root_n both_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n and_o christ_n the_o true_a light_n do_v express_o contradict_v for_o one_o say_v lamentation_n 3._o verse_n 38._o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o most_o high_a proceed_v not_o evil_a and_o good_a now_o by_o the_o word_n or_o mouth_n of_o the_o most_o high_a be_v all_o thing_n make_v that_o be_v make_v but_o out_o of_o the_o lord_n mouth_n or_o from_o the_o lord_n word_n proceed_v not_o evil_a and_o good_a therefore_o sin_n and_o evil_n in_o the_o root_n ground_n and_o motion_n be_v never_o create_v by_o he_o but_o arise_v from_o self_n which_o be_v a_o swerve_v from_o the_o word_n by_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v the_o other_o say_v every_o plant_n that_o my_o heavenly_a father_n have_v not_o plant_v shall_v be_v pluck_v up_o so_o he_o plain_o affirm_v there_o be_v some_o plant_n and_o motion_n in_o man_n heart_n which_o the_o heavenly_a father_n never_o plant_v and_o therefore_o will_v he_o by_o his_o powerful_a and_o good_a word_n pluck_v they_o up_o whereas_o you_o plead_v for_o their_o stand_n because_o you_o say_v god_n plant_v they_o so_o do_v you_o direct_o oppose_v the_o true_a prophet_n and_o give_v he_o that_o call_v himself_o the_o truth_n the_o lie_n now_o indeed_o the_o lord_n do_v make_v darkness_n his_o secret_a place_n and_o his_o pavilion_n round_o about_o because_o he_o dwell_v only_o in_o the_o light_n and_o so_o no_o darkness_n can_v come_v into_o his_o habitation_n and_o therefore_o also_o be_v darkness_n and_o light_n both_o a_o like_a to_o he_o for_o he_o dwell_v whole_o in_o the_o light_n comprehend_v all_o the_o darkness_n and_o dark_a way_n of_o man_n know_v nothing_o but_o light_n in_o himself_o but_o in_o man_n as_o he_o be_v under_o a_o law_n which_o be_v his_o light_n darkness_n &_o its_o way_n be_v not_o alike_o to_o he_o for_o he_o reprove_v the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o man_n to_o apprehend_v they_o to_o be_v both_o alike_o in_o himself_o but_o contrary_a for_o if_o he_o do_v he_o believe_v a_o lie_n and_o so_o deceive_v his_o own_o soul_n therefore_o cease_v from_o your_o own_o wisdom_n reason_v and_o dispute_n and_o in_o silence_n and_o humility_n come_v to_o the_o armour_n of_o light_n which_o be_v the_o true_a spiritual_a weapon_n which_o cast_v down_o all_o reason_v that_o exalt_v themselves_o against_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n as_o paul_n witness_v
