our_o blessing_n the_o afflict_a take_v god_n include_v our_o absolute_a subjection_n to_o his_o sovereign_a will_n here_o be_v two_o thing_n 1._o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o unlimited_a dominion_n over_o we_o and_o we_o to_o use_v and_o dispose_v as_o seem_v good_a to_o he_o this_o be_v a_o acknowledge_v of_o god_n right_a thus_o job_n confess_v behold_v he_o take_v away_o who_o can_v hinder_v he_o who_o will_v say_v unto_o he_o what_o do_v thou_o 9.12_o job_n 9.12_o which_o word_n describe_v to_o we_o not_o only_a god_n irresistible_a power_n but_o his_o unquestionable_a authority_n none_o can_v none_o ought_v to_o oppose_v he_o now_o in_o our_o affliction_n especial_o we_o shall_v firm_o believe_v this_o that_o god_n may_v take_v away_o our_o yoke-fellow_n child_n health_n estate_n or_o what_o he_o please_v from_o we_o it_o be_v his_o right_n to_o dispose_v of_o we_o and_o we_o 2._o it_o be_v our_o duty_n free_o and_o full_o to_o consent_v that_o god_n shall_v exercise_v this_o dominion_n over_o we_o and_o we_o the_o first_o particular_a i_o tell_v you_o be_v a_o acknowledge_v of_o god_n right_a this_o second_o be_v a_o render_v he_o his_o due_n the_o one_o we_o learn_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n the_o other_o be_v only_o perform_v by_o the_o help_n of_o special_a grace_n we_o shall_v unreserved_o devote_v all_o our_o comfort_n to_o his_o sovereign_a disposal_n lay_v all_o our_o enjoyment_n by_o sincere_a resignation_n at_o his_o foot_n as_o the_o disciple_n do_v the_o price_n of_o their_o estate_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o apostle_n 4.35_o act_n 4.35_o when_o god_n come_v for_o any_o one_o of_o thy_o comfort_n it_o be_v thy_o duty_n christian_n like_o araunah_n the_o jebusite_n to_o give_v like_o a_o king_n 24.23_o 2_o sam._n 24.23_o unto_o thy_o king_n the_o lord_n of_o host_n thou_o shall_v say_v to_o god_n as_o he_o to_o david_n let_v my_o lord_n take_v 3.18_o 1_o sam._n 3.18_o and_o offer_v up_o to_o his_o own_o will_n what_o seem_v good_a unto_o he_o thus_o the_o good_a old_a eli_n repli_v to_o samuel_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v he_o do_v what_o seem_v he_o good_a in_o which_o word_n he_o do_v not_o only_o submit_v to_o the_o slaughter_n of_o his_o son_n and_o the_o rejection_n of_o his_o family_n from_o the_o priesthood_n for_o ever_o a_o terrible_a providence_n but_o also_o signify_v that_o if_o he_o have_v yet_o another_o comfort_n leave_v the_o resignation_n of_o which_o will_v glorify_v god_n that_o also_o be_v hearty_o at_o his_o service_n lord_n how_o little_a of_o this_o be_v live_v by_o the_o generality_n of_o profess_v christian_n yet_o this_o be_v our_o duty_n and_o questionless_a this_o be_v holy_a job_n practice_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v we_o daily_o when_o god_n be_v take_v away_o any_o of_o our_o comfort_n we_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o wrest_v they_o out_o of_o god_n hand_n that_o we_o shall_v most_o unfeigned_o offer_v they_o all_o 4._o our_o blessing_n the_o afflict_a take_v god_n include_v our_o heedful_a converse_v with_o the_o divine_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n that_o ever_o manage_v all_o our_o affliction_n i_o entreat_v you_o let_v this_o be_v careful_o consider_v all_o the_o path_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v mercy_n and_o truth_n 25.10_o psalm_n 25.10_o unto_o such_o as_o keep_v his_o covenant_n and_o his_o testimony_n even_o the_o frown_n of_o his_o providence_n as_o well_o as_o the_o smile_n these_o be_v not_o only_o just_a and_o righteous_a but_o merciful_a and_o faithful_a yea_o the_o lord_n help_v our_o unbelief_n mercy_n and_o truth_n in_o the_o abstract_n now_o god_n expect_v that_o we_o firm_o believe_v it_o careful_o observe_v it_o and_o grateful_o acknowledge_v it_o 1._o that_o we_o firm_o believe_v it_o god_n never_o deceive_v we_o therefore_o we_o shall_v never_o mistrust_v he_o god_n can_v be_v deceive_v he_o be_v too_o wife_n for_o that_o he_o can_v deceive_v he_o be_v too_o just_a for_o that_o therefore_o when_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o however_o he_o deal_v with_o we_o he_o be_v ever_o mindful_a of_o and_o true_a to_o his_o word_n in_o every_o providence_n we_o must_v honour_v he_o by_o believe_v we_o shall_v say_v o_o my_o soul_n though_o thy_o god_n take_v away_o this_o and_o that_o and_o the_o other_o comfort_n yet_o it_o be_v in_o love_n mercy_n and_o truth_n for_o he_o have_v promise_v he_o will_v never_o carry_v it_o otherwise_o towards_o thou_o 2._o that_o we_o careful_o observe_v it_o that_o we_o endeavour_v to_o taste_v and_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v good_a in_o his_o afflict_v we_o god_n have_v say_v 34.8_o psal_n 34.8_o he_o will_v be_v good_a to_o we_o in_o every_o providence_n therefore_o we_o shall_v believe_v it_o god_n be_v good_a to_o we_o in_o every_o providence_n therefore_o we_o shall_v observe_v and_o see_v it_o it_o be_v as_o real_o a_o fault_n to_o shut_v our_o eye_n as_o our_o ear_n when_o god_n afflict_v we_o we_o observe_v his_o anger_n tell_v his_o stroke_n and_o poor_a upon_o his_o severity_n but_o neglect_v to_o heed_v his_o mercy_n in_o the_o providence_n but_o this_o be_v our_o fault_n we_o shall_v as_o impartial_o study_v the_o usefulness_n as_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o affliction_n a_o wise_a patient_n will_v as_o much_o consider_v the_o wholesome_a tendency_n of_o his_o physic_n as_o its_o gripe_a operation_n 3._o that_o we_o grateful_o acknowledge_v it_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o thank_v and_o praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o goodness_n to_o we_o in_o afflict_v of_o we_o this_o indeed_o be_v difficult_a but_o it_o be_v as_o glorious_a when_o do_v it_o be_v a_o duty_n 5.18_o 1_o thes_n 5.18_o and_o must_v be_v do_v in_o every_o thing_n we_o must_v give_v thanks_o for_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n concern_v we_o what_o may_v some_o say_v must_v we_o give_v thanks_o for_o our_o sorrow_n 5.20_o eph._n 5.20_o grief_n and_o pressure_n must_v we_o thank_v god_n for_o strip_v scourge_v and_o wound_v we_o i_o answer_v so_o say_v the_o scripture_n give_v thanks_o always_o for_o all_o thing_n unto_o god_n etc._n etc._n you_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v this_o be_v a_o hard_a lesson_n who_o can_v learn_v it_o you_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n quick_o if_o you_o consider_v and_o believe_v the_o reason_n offer_v in_o above_o mention_v 1_o thes_n 5._o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n concern_v you_o where_o i_o conceive_v the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o know_v that_o every_o providence_n the_o adverse_a as_o well_o as_o prosperous_a be_v the_o gracious_a management_n of_o a_o god_n in_o covenant_n proceed_v not_o from_o mere_a justice_n but_o love_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o saint_n be_v as_o much_o oblige_v to_o praise_n god_n for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o because_o their_o true_a interest_n be_v equal_o promote_v by_o both_o as_o a_o man_n be_v as_o true_o behold_v to_o his_o chirurgeon_n that_o cut_v off_o his_o gangrene_v leg_n as_o to_o he_o that_o lend_v a_o fillet_n to_o help_v bind_v it_o up_o i_o can_v therefore_o but_o admire_v the_o profoundness_n of_o calvin_n judgement_n who_o think_v that_o chrysostome_n do_v not_o full_o reach_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o text_n who_o to_o these_o word_n this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o
