measure_n of_o their_o grace_n either_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o greatness_n or_o of_o the_o continuance_n 1.4_o that_o patience_n may_v have_v her_o perfect_a work_n in_o they_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o best_a man_n have_v endure_v the_o great_a trial_n as_o appear_v in_o abraham_n david_n and_o job_n 4._o etc._n etc._n wherefore_o james_n exhort_v we_o to_o count_v it_o exceed_a

abate_v our_o pride_n and_o humble_v we_o before_o he_o it_o be_v sometime_o expedient_a that_o the_o affliction_n shall_v be_v prolong_v though_o to_o our_o grief_n for_o the_o present_a 8.16_o yet_o to_o our_o good_a in_o the_o end_n because_o many_o man_n be_v able_a to_o endure_v the_o first_o brunt_n and_o therein_o great_o please_v themselves_o who_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o affliction_n do_v notable_o bewray_v their_o weakness_n but_o because_o this_o kind_n of_o trial_n be_v also_o a_o chastisement_n let_v we_o consider_v those_o fruit_n and_o effect_n which_o the_o lord_n by_o chastisement_n do_v work_v in_o his_o child_n 1._o first_o therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v chastise_v we_o that_o he_o may_v teach_v we_o to_o know_v ourselves_o and_o

to_o call_v upon_o he_o often_o 18_o and_o that_o with_o fervency_n of_o spirit_n for_o when_o man_n enjoy_v their_o ease_n they_o be_v not_o usual_o either_o so_o fervent_a or_o so_o frequent_a in_o

thy_o affliction_n as_o thou_o continue_v thy_o impenitency_n 9.13_o and_o as_o thou_o delay_v thy_o repentance_n so_o do_v he_o delay_v his_o help_n 4._o have_v thou_o not_o yet_o learned_a obedience_n by_o that_o which_o thou_o do_v suffer_v therefore_o do_v he_o still_o continue_v thy_o affliction_n to_o teach_v thou_o obedience_n and_o to_o make_v thou_o partaker_n of_o his_o holiness_n 12.10_o for_o although_o the_o chastisement_n of_o god_n upon_o thou_o seem_v grievous_a for_o the_o time_n yet_o in_o the_o end_n it_o will_v bring_v forth_o the_o quiet_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n unto_o thou_o who_o be_v exercise_v thereby_o 119.71_o for_o which_o cause_n david_n as_o he_o profess_v of_o himself_o that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o he_o that_o he_o have_v be_v afflict_v that_o ●e_n may_v learn_v the_o statute_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o he_o pronounce_v that_o man_n bless_v who_o the_o lord_n do_v chastise_v and_o teach_v in_o his_o law_n 94.12_o etc._n etc._n 5._o be_v thou_o still_o addict_v to_o the_o world_n mind_v and_o affect_v thing_n below_o more_o than_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v above_o therefore_o the_o lord_n mingle_v thy_o worldly_a prosperity_n with_o the_o gall_n of_o affliction_n that_o as_o nurse_n by_o lay_v bitter_a thing_n unto_o their_o dug_n do_v wain_n their_o child_n from_o they_o so_o he_o by_o affliction_n may_v wean_v thou_o from_o the_o world_n and_o that_o through_o bear_v the_o cross_n thou_o may_v be_v crucify_v to_o the_o world_n 6.14_o and_o the_o world_n to_o thou_o 6._o have_v thou_o not_o yet_o

thy_o affliction_n that_o thy_o patience_n may_v be_v exercise_v and_o by_o exercise_n confirm_v as_o the_o scripture_n testify_v therefore_o do_v the_o lord_n bereave_v thou_o of_o other_o mean_n 1.3_o that_o thou_o may_v rely_v only_o upon_o he_o here_o than_o we_o be_v to_o be_v admonish_v to_o make_v a_o right_a use_n of_o our_o affliction_n and_o as_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v for_o our_o comfort_n so_o to_o labour_n that_o these_o or_o such_o like_a effect_n may_v by_o our_o affliction_n be_v wrought_v in_o we_o for_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o affliction_n before_o it_o have_v wrought_v any_o good_a effect_n in_o we_o we_o desire_v unaware_o that_o god_n shall_v give_v we_o over_o as_o incorrigible_a when_o as_o therefore_o a_o faithful_a man_n have_v pray_v effectual_o unto_o the_o lord_n for_o deliverance_n out_o of_o affliction_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o deliver_v let_v he_o know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o he_o to_o be_v deliver_v as_o yet_o and_o withal_o let_v he_o be_v persuade_v of_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o god_n do_v chastise_v he_o in_o 3.19_o love_n for_o his_o 12.10_o profit_n according_a to_o his_o necessity_n as_o be_v not_o 3.33_o delight_v with_o our_o affliction_n and_o therefore_o inflict_v upon_o he_o no_o great_a measure_n of_o affliction_n than_o in_o his_o fatherly_a wisdom_n he_o think_v necessary_a and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o possess_v our_o soul_n in_o patience_n commit_v and_o resign_v ourselves_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o almighty_a god_n as_o of_o a_o most_o wise_a and_o love_a father_n and_o most_o expert_a physician_n of_o our_o soul_n a_o son_n that_o have_v any_o grace_n in_o he_o will_v meek_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o chastisement_n of_o a_o wise_a and_o careful_a father_n 12.9_o how_o much_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o the_o correction_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n a_o man_n that_o have_v in_o his_o body_n any_o

ought_v we_o patient_o and_o thankful_o to_o suffer_v the_o lord_n to_o afflict_v our_o body_n that_o he_o may_v save_v our_o soul_n second_o let_v he_o be_v assure_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v never_o reject_v the_o effectual_a prayer_n of_o a_o faithful_a man_n but_o always_o hear_v the_o same_o gracious_o if_o not_o according_a to_o his_o desire_n yet_o according_a to_o his_o profit_n yea_o that_o he_o always_o grant_v it_o if_o it_o be_v right_o conceive_v for_o as_o we_o be_v to_o ask_v spiritual_a grace_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n absolute_o so_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v absolute_o that_o god_n will_v grant_v the_o same_o unto_o we_o yea_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a and_o comfortable_a truth_n that_o whosoever_o have_v thus_o much_o grace_n true_o and_o earnest_o to_o desire_v
