A26847	A posing question, put by the wise man, viz. Solomon, to the wisest men concerning making a judgment of the temporal conditions : wherein you have the ignorance of man (in knowing, what is good, or evil, for man in this life) discovered, together, with the mistakes that flow from it : and the great question resolved, viz. whether the knowledg of, what is good for a man in this life, be so hid from man, that no man can attain it / preached at the weekly lecture at Upton ... by Benjamin Baxter ...

of_o some_o in_o hos_n 7._o 14._o that_o howl_v upon_o their_o bed_n for_o corn_n and_o wine_n those_o be_v the_o thing_n they_o only_o seek_v after_o and_o their_o prayer_n be_v but_o a_o brutish_a cry_n compare_v to_o the_o howl_n of_o a_o dog_n a_o gracious_a soul_n pant_v after_o the_o thing_n of_o another_o life_n when_o other_o pant_v only_o after_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o such_o amos_n 2._o 7._o who_o pant_v after_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o david_n soul_n pant_v after_o god_n psal_n 42._o 1._o so_o pant_v my_o soul_n after_o thou_o o_o god_n then_o it_o be_v right_o when_o we_o pray_v for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n with_o a_o serious_a consideration_n of_o their_o lowness_n and_o baseness_n and_o inferiority_n be_v compare_v with_o the_o thing_n of_o eternity_n and_o another_o life_n thus_o for_o the_o second_o question_n the_o three_o question_n be_v this_o whether_o our_o be_v ignorant_a of_o what_o be_v good_a for_o we_o in_o this_o life_n do_v not_o warrant_v to_o adventure_v on_o and_o undertake_v thing_n as_o we_o say_v hand_n overhead_n or_o at_o all_o adventure_n without_o circumspection_n

say_v i_o see_v i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v good_a for_o i_o in_o this_o life_n and_o therefore_o the_o thing_n i_o be_o about_o notwithstanding_o all_o my_o prudence_n and_o care_n and_o circumspection_n may_v for_o aught_o i_o know_v be_v for_o evil_a to_o i_o and_o without_o all_o this_o care_n and_o circumspection_n may_v be_v for_o good_a to_o i_o so_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o this_o truth_n do_v not_o destroy_v all_o prudential_n and_o providential_a care_n about_o the_o management_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o life_n answer_n no_o such_o matter_n it_o make_v nothing_o against_o that_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v show_v in_o these_o follow_a proposition_n which_o i_o shall_v brief_o name_v 1._o divine_a providence_n do_v not_o destroy_v humane_a prudence_n which_o be_v so_o much_o commend_v by_o solomon_n in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o proverb_n 2._o god_n providence_n do_v sometime_o make_v up_o man_n improvidence_n but_o that_o be_v no_o warrant_n at_o all_o for_o a_o man_n therefore_o to_o be_v improvident_a 3._o it_o be_v a_o tempt_v of_o god_n when_o we_o neglect_v the_o mean_n for_o bring_v to_o pass_v the_o end_n 4._o it_o be_v create_v cross_n to_o ourselves_o and_o for_o which_o we_o must_v only_o thank_v ourselves_o we_o be_v not_o call_v to_o bear_v cross_n of_o our_o own_o make_n but_o of_o god_n send_v 5._o it_o be_v make_v one_o of_o the_o character_n of_o a_o righteous_a man_n that_o he_o guide_v his_o affair_n with_o discretion_n psal_n 112._o 5._o 6._o there_o be_v almost_o a_o whole_a chapter_n spend_v in_o the_o commendation_n of_o a_o virtuous_a woman_n prudential_n and_o providential_a care_v in_o provide_v for_o her_o husband_n child_n and_o family_n as_o you_o may_v see_v prov._n 31._o 7._o such_o a_o conclusion_n will_v justify_v that_o profane_a say_v of_o some_o that_o if_o they_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v save_v they_o shall_v be_v save_v let_v they_o live_v as_o they_o list_v these_o separate_a between_o the_o mean_n and_o the_o end_n when_o as_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o mean_n as_o well_o as_o the_o end_n so_o do_v such_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o life_n that_o lie_v aside_o prudence_n and_o say_v if_o god_n see_v it_o good_a for_o i_o it_o shall_v be_v good_n thus_o for_o the_o three_o question_n chap._n vi_o the_o application_n 1._o it_o be_v useful_a by_o way_n of_o information_n if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o no_o man_n infallible_o know_v what_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n why_o then_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o we_o find_v man_n so_o woeful_o mistake_v in_o their_o judgement_n about_o condition_n and_o god_n outward_a dispensation_n the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o some_o that_o call_v evil_a good_a and_o good_a evil_n so_o man_n through_o his_o ignorance_n of_o what_o be_v good_a for_o he_o in_o this_o life_n be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o condition_n good_a for_o he_o that_o be_v evil_a and_o that_o condition_n evil_a for_o he_o that_o be_v good_a we_o read_v job_n 11._o 10._o vain_a man_n will_v be_v wise_a so_o ignorant_a man_n will_v be_v think_v wise_a in_o the_o know_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v above_o he_o and_o beyond_o his_o line_n and_o that_o come_v not_o within_o the_o sphere_n of_o his_o knowledge_n though_o he_o know_v not_o how_o to_o make_v a_o judgement_n of_o condition_n yet_o he_o will_v be_v offer_v at_o it_o nay_o as_o confident_o undertake_v it_o as_o astrologer_n and_o gypsy_n do_v to_o tell_v people_n their_o fortune_n but_o we_o may_v say_v of_o man_n in_o this_o case_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v of_o those_o rom._n 1._o 22._o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v wise_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d they_o become_v fool_n so_o while_o man_n profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o know_v what_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n they_o have_v but_o show_v themselves_o fool_n as_o have_v appear_v by_o their_o gross_a mistake_n about_o condition_n the_o heathen_n of_o old_a though_o they_o think_v themselves_o wise_a yet_o show_v themselves_o fool_n in_o their_o opinion_n concern_v the_o chief_a good_a which_o do_v amount_v to_o the_o number_n of_o 288._o and_o such_o fool_n do_v man_n show_v themselves_o in_o their_o opinion_n concern_v inferior_a good_a thing_n and_o what_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n but_o as_o the_o lord_n say_v of_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o people_n jer._n 10._o 3._o that_o they_o be_v vain_a so_o may_v we_o say_v of_o the_o opinion_n of_o people_n concern_v condition_n solomon_n speak_v of_o some_o eccles_n 7._o 10._o who_o will_v undertake_v to_o make_v a_o judgement_n of_o time_n and_o do_v ask_v why_o be_v the_o former_a time_n better_a than_o these_o but_o solomon_n tell_v such_o they_o do_v not_o inquire_v wise_o concern_v they_o i._n e._n they_o be_v but_o fool_n in_o think_v so_o so_o there_o be_v many_o that_o inquire_v not_o wise_o concern_v condition_n and_o what_o be_v good_a and_o evil_n for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n i_o shall_v acquaint_v you_o with_o three_o sort_n of_o person_n that_o be_v thus_o mistake_v about_o outward_a condition_n 1._o some_o there_o be_v that_o look_v upon_o honour_n and_o riches_n and_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o themselves_o good_a from_o thence_o conclude_v they_o be_v thing_n good_a for_o they_o and_o if_o they_o have_v they_o conclude_v it_o be_v well_o with_o they_o 2._o some_o there_o be_v who_o look_v upon_o affliction_n as_o thing_n evil_a in_o themselves_o conclude_v from_o thence_o that_o it_o be_v evil_a for_o they_o in_o this_o life_n that_o they_o be_v afflict_a 3._o some_o there_o be_v who_o hear_v that_o it_o have_v be_v good_a for_o some_o that_o they_o have_v be_v afflict_a do_v from_o thence_o conclude_v that_o because_o they_o be_v afflict_a their_o condition_n be_v good_a thus_o there_o be_v some_o that_o think_v the_o better_a of_o themselves_o for_o their_o be_v afflict_a i_o shall_v speak_v somewhat_o to_o show_v how_o all_o these_o may_v be_v mistake_v 1._o for_o the_o first_o some_o there_o be_v that_o think_v because_o honour_n and_o riches_n etc._n etc._n be_v good_a thing_n in_o themselves_o that_o therefore_o they_o be_v good_a for_o they_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o show_v you_o how_o woeful_o such_o person_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o do_v of_o it_o i_o shall_v present_v you_o with_o some_o of_o those_o false_a ground_n and_o principle_n upon_o which_o such_o go_v who_o make_v such_o a_o judgement_n viz._n four_o 1._o that_o must_v needs_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n that_o be_v in_o itself_o and_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n good_a 2._o that_o must_v needs_o be_v good_a for_o man_n in_o this_o life_n that_o suit_n with_o and_o answer_n to_o a_o man_n desire_n 3._o that_o must_v needs_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n that_o have_v be_v good_a for_o other_o 4._o that_o must_v needs_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n that_o god_n give_v and_o bestow_v upon_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n i_o shall_v spend_v a_o little_a time_n in_o the_o examine_v these_o ground_n to_o see_v whether_o such_o a_o conclusion_n may_v be_v build_v upon_o they_o 1._o the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n in_o this_o life_n that_o be_v in_o itself_o
