comfort_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n first_o consider_v his_o nature_n he_o be_v willing_a and_o ready_a to_o do_v good_a he_o be_v full_a of_o compassion_n and_o to_o show_v mercy_n please_v he_o more_o than_o it_o releeve_v we_o second_o consider_v his_o relation_n to_o his_o people_n he_o be_v a_o father_n will_v a_o father_n let_v a_o child_n lie_v comfortless_a when_o he_o can_v help_v he_o he_o be_v our_o husband_n he_o be_v our_o friend_n all_o relation_n provoke_v god_n to_o give_v out_o comfort_n to_o the_o saint_n three_o consider_v his_o omniscience_n and_o omnipresence_n he_o know_v where_o the_o shoe_n wring_v he_o know_v what_o comfort_n we_o want_v a_o
friend_n possible_o have_v the_o comfort_n in_o his_o hand_n which_o we_o need_v and_o he_o may_v be_v willing_a to_o give_v it_o out_o unto_o we_o but_o he_o know_v not_o wherein_o we_o be_v pinch_v god_n tell_v moses_n i_o have_v see_v i_o have_v see_v the_o affliction_n of_o my_o people_n in_o egypt_n and_o as_o he_o know_v how_o it_o be_v with_o we_o so_o we_o be_v ever_o within_o his_o reach_n he_o can_v lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o every_o joint_n where_o we_o be_v pain_v and_o put_v a_o plaster_n upon_o every_o wound_n here_o be_v our_o happiness_n christ_n will_v take_v off_o his_o people_n from_o extraordinary_a care_n about_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n by_o this_o argument_n your_o father_n know_v that_o you_o have_v need_n of_o these_o thing_n matth._n 6.32_o your_o father_n who_o carry_v the_o purse_n know_v your_o want_n four_o consider_v his_o omnipotence_n he_o be_v able_a to_o comfort_v he_o can_v command_v yea_o create_v comfort_n he_o can_v bring_v his_o comfort_n through_o a_o army_n of_o sorrow_n to_o a_o poor_a soul_n yea_o he_o can_v lead_v comfort_n through_o a_o army_n of_o devil_n and_o temptatioâs_n to_o a_o poor_a soul_n he_o be_v almighty_a there_o be_v nothing_o too_o hard_o for_o he_o to_o do_v nor_o be_v he_o hard_a to_o be_v entreat_v to_o do_v that_o which_o give_v ease_n unto_o his_o people_n second_o observe_v consolation_n right_o administer_v by_o man_n be_v the_o consolation_n of_o god_n while_o man_n speak_v god_n command_v comfort_v you_o comfort_v you_o my_o people_n speak_v comfortable_o to_o jerusalem_n tell_v

according_a to_o the_o form_n of_o wholesome_a word_n deliver_v either_o in_o the_o law_n or_o gospel_n be_v the_o counsel_n instruction_n reproof_n and_o doctrine_n of_o god_n so_o also_o be_v their_o consolation_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n take_v it_o so_o ill_a at_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n when_o his_o messenger_n who_o bring_v either_o instruction_n or_o consolation_n be_v refuse_v because_o himself_o be_v refuse_v when_o they_o be_v and_o his_o consolation_n be_v disesteem_v when_o they_o be_v three_o observe_v to_o account_v the_o consolation_n of_o god_n small_a be_v a_o very_a great_a sin_n moses_n rebuke_n rebellious_a korah_n and_o his_o confederate_n for_o undervalue_v the_o privilege_n which_o they_o as_o levites_n have_v to_o be_v near_o god_n in_o holy_a service_n numb_a 16.9_o seem_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n unto_o you_o that_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n have_v separate_v you_o from_o the_o congregation_n of_o israel_n to_o bring_v you_o near_o to_o himself_o to_o do_v the_o service_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n etc._n etc._n if_o it_o be_v their_o sin_n to_o count_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n to_o be_v call_v near_o to_o god_n in_o holy_a administration_n how_o great_a a_o sin_n be_v it_o in_o any_o man_n to_o count_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n that_o god_n draw_v near_o to_o he_o with_o heavenly_a consolation_n though_o the_o consolation_n of_o god_n to_o we_o be_v small_a comparative_o to_o what_o some_o other_o have_v yet_o we_o must_v not_o account_v any_o consolation_n of_o god_n small_a and_o that_o upon_o two_o ground_n first_o because_o of_o our_o own_o unworthiness_n the_o least_o consolation_n be_v great_a consider_v how_o little_o we_o be_v as_o jacob_n speak_v gen._n 32.10_o i_o be_o not_o worthy_a the_o least_o of_o all_o thy_o mercy_n he_o think_v little_a mercy_n too_o big_a for_o he_o because_o he_o be_v little_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n they_o who_o have_v great_a yea_o any_o thought_n of_o their_o own_o merit_n lessen_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n but_o he_o who_o see_v he_o deserve_v nothing_o but_o ill_a see_v abundance_n of_o mercy_n in_o the_o small_a good_a second_o small_a consolation_n be_v very_o great_a because_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o great_a god_n as_o no_o sin_n be_v small_a though_o comparative_o to_o another_o sin_n it_o may_v be_v small_a because_o it_o be_v commit_v against_o the_o great_a god_n so_o no_o consolation_n be_v small_a because_o it_o come_v from_o the_o great_a god_n god_n put_v a_o impress_n of_o his_o own_o greatness_n upon_o the_o least_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v or_o give_v by_o he_o though_o he_o give_v but_o a_o penny_n yet_o it_o have_v the_o image_n and_o superscription_n of_o he_o our_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a caesar_n therefore_o see_v you_o slight_v it_o not_o as_o a_o good_a heart_n be_v careful_a to_o perform_v the_o least_o duty_n and_o to_o avoid_v the_o least_o sin_n or_o as_o a_o good_a heart_n call_v no_o duty_n little_a which_o god_n enjoin_v nor_o sin_n little_a which_o god_n forbid_v so_o a_o good_a heart_n be_v thankful_a for_o the_o least_o mercy_n and_o call_v no_o consolation_n small_a which_o god_n the_o great_a god_n send_v four_o observe_v that_o great_a affliction_n take_v away_o the_o sense_n of_o tender_v mercy_n consolation_n for_o the_o matter_n be_v offer_v unto_o job_n but_o his_o
