beauty_n of_o jesus_n christ_n nay_o go_v further_o look_v upon_o

will_n and_o power_n of_o he_o who_o work_v with_o it_o so_o that_o although_o there_o be_v a_o equal_a aptness_n in_o the_o instrument_n to_o do_v one_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o another_o yet_o it_o be_v determine_v in_o its_o work_n according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o he_o that_o guide_v it_o as_o if_o a_o man_n go_v with_o a_o axe_n into_o the_o wood_n to_o fell_v his_o tree_n there_o be_v a_o equal_a aptness_n in_o the_o axe_n to_o cut_v down_o one_o tree_n as_o well_o as_o another_o but_o it_o be_v at_o the_o pleasure_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o he_o that_o work_v with_o it_o to_o determine_v which_o tree_n shall_v stand_v and_o which_o shall_v fall_v so_o my_o brethren_n sickness_n be_v the_o instrument_n of_o god_n power_n to_o do_v his_o will_n and_o be_v equal_o apt_a to_o disease_v one_o as_o well_o as_o another_o but_o they_o be_v all_o in_o his_o hand_n and_o overrule_v and_o guide_v by_o he_o they_o only_o go_v and_o afflict_v those_o to_o who_o he_o send_v and_o

that_o god_n make_v great_a use_n of_o disease_n to_o do_v his_o will_n and_o to_o serve_v his_o design_n in_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o salvation_n of_o his_o people_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v order_v by_o god_n where_o they_o may_v work_v most_o for_o his_o glory_n as_o for_o example_n god_n see_v how_o man_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o great_a worldling_n be_v call_v psal_n 10._o ult_n fill_v a_o nation_n or_o country_n either_o with_o error_n and_o heresy_n or_o with_o atheism_n and_o profaneness_n and_o these_o man_n lift_v up_o the_o horn_n on_o high_a

such_o and_o therefore_o he_o baffle_v job_n with_o this_o argument_n that_o he_o can_v look_v on_o every_o one_o that_o be_v proud_a and_o abase_v he_o and_o that_o he_o can_v tread_v down_o the_o

the_o great_a talk_n of_o this_o mighty_a man_n be_v come_v to_o this_o 52.7_o lo_o this_o be_v the_o man_n that_o make_v not_o god_n his_o strength_n but_o trust_v in_o the_o abundance_n of_o his_o

and_o scorn_v and_o shame_v his_o beauty_n and_o now_o the_o wound_n stink_v and_o be_v corrupt_a and_o the_o body_n be_v fill_v with_o a_o loathsome_a disease_n psal_n 38.5_o 7._o and_o there_o be_v burn_v instead_o of_o beauty_n as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o another_o case_n isa_n 3.24_o so_o sometime_o a_o minister_n have_v but_o one_o or_o two_o malicious_a enemy_n in_o a_o parish_n and_o god_n command_v a_o disease_n to_o fetch_v away_o they_o and_o what_o welcome_a such_o have_v in_o eternity_n they_o be_v like_a to_o know_v best_a that_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o try_v it_o sometime_o a_o minister_n have_v a_o gracious_a man_n or_o woman_n in_o a_o parish_n which_o be_v to_o he_o as_o that_o gracious_a couple_n aquila_n and_o priscilla_n be_v to_o paul_n his_o helper_n in_o the_o

to_o lend_v they_o that_o sometime_o there_o be_v but_o one_o life_n in_o a_o live_n and_o a_o disease_n come_v by_o the_o appointment_n of_o christ_n and_o spare_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

jesus_n christ_n three_o whensoever_o christ_n command_v a_o disease_n to_o go_v it_o go_v this_o be_v also_o plain_o imply_v in_o the_o centurion_n speech_n for_o if_o he_o have_v authority_n to_o bid_v his_o soldier_n go_v it_o must_v be_v at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n when_o he_o will_v bid_v they_o go_v now_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v this_o authority_n over_o all_o disease_n both_o because_o he_o be_v a_o free_a agent_n and_o therefore_o work_n when_o he_o will_v upon_o his_o creature_n and_o because_o every_o thing_n who_o act_n depend_v on_o the_o power_n

that_o in_o god_n work_v towards_o nation_n or_o family_n or_o person_n he_o ha●h_v in_o his_o determinate_a counsel_n appoint_v a_o unchangeable_a method_n of_o providence_n and_o in_o infinite_a

in_o this_o case_n god_n have_v set_v the_o time_n for_o the_o several_a change_n in_o the_o life_n of_o man_n job_n 7.1_o be_v there_o not_o a_o appoint_a time_n to_o man_n upon_o earth_n and_o in_o all_o disease_n his_o wisdom_n and_o power_n and_o justice_n and_o mercy_n be_v glorify_v in_o the_o season_n of_o the_o visitation_n sometime_o god_n smite_v a_o child_n in_o the_o womb_n and_o the_o
