god_n be_v say_v to_o visit_v his_o people_n be_v in_o affliction_n to_o who_o he_o send_v comfort_n or_o promise_v of_o deliverance_n as_o he_o do_v visit_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v oppress_v

these_o visitation_n speak_v our_o prophet_n here_o but_o of_o that_o only_a which_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v to_o wit_n when_o that_o god_n lay_v his_o correction_n upon_o his_o own_o child_n to_o call_v they_o from_o the_o venomous_a beast_n of_o this_o corrupt_a world_n that_o they_o suck_v not_o in_o over_o great_a haboundance_n the_o poison_n thereof_o &_o do_v as_o it_o be_v wean_v they_o from_o their_o mother_n pap_n that_o they_o may_v learn_v to_o receyve_v other_o norishment_n true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o wean_n or_o spane_v as_o we_o term_v it_o from_o worldly_a pleasure_n be_v a_o thing_n strange_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o necessary_a to_o god_n child_n that_o onlesse_a they_o be_v wean_v from_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n they_o can_v never_o feed_v upon_o that_o delectable_a milk_n of_o god_n eternal_a verity_n for_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o one_o do_v either_o hinder_v the_o other_o to_o be_v receyve_v or_o else_o so_o troble_v the_o whole_a power_n of_o man_n that_o the_o soul_n can_v never_o so_o digest_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n as_o that_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v albeit_o this_o appear_v hard_a yet_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a for_o what_o liquor_n can_v we_o receyve_v from_o the_o breast_n of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o what_o that_o be_v the_o apostle_n john_n teach_v 2._o say_v what_o soever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v either_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n now_o see_v that_o these_o be_v not_o of_o the_o father_n but_o of_o the_o world_n how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o our_o soul_n can_v feed_v upon_o chastity_n temperance_n and_o humility_n so_o long_o as_o that_o our_o stomach_n be_v replenish_v with_o the_o corruption_n of_o these_o vice_n now_o so_o it_o be_v that_o willing_o flesh_n can_v never_o refuse_v these_o forename_a but_o rather_o still_o delyght_v itself_o in_o every_o one_o of_o they_o yea_o in_o they_o all_o as_o the_o example_n be_v but_o to_o evident_a it_o behove_v therefore_o that_o god_n himself_o shall_v violent_o pull_v his_o child_n from_o these_o venomous_a breast_n that_o when_o they_o lack_v the_o liquor_n &_o poison_v of_o the_o one_o â–ª_o they_o may_v visit_v he_o and_o learn_v to_o be_v nourish_v of_o he_o oh_o if_o the_o
