reign_v over_o they_o and_o slay_v they_o open_o before_o his_o face_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a end_n which_o god_n aim_v at_o by_o afflict_v he_o do_v not_o delight_n to_o grieve_v the_o son_n of_o man_n he_o take_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o misery_n of_o his_o creature_n but_o inflict_v a_o less_o punishment_n to_o secure_v we_o from_o a_o great_a and_o chastise_n we_o in_o mercy_n to_o lead_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o how_o then_o shall_v he_o rejoice_v that_o be_v under_o these_o circumstance_n when_o he_o contemplate_v upon_o the_o tenderness_n which_o god_n express_v herein_o how_o ought_v he_o to_o kiss_v the_o rod_n that_o be_v lay_v on_o with_o so_o kind_a and_o fatherly_a a_o intention_n how_o cheerful_o shall_v he_o endeavour_v to_o answer_v the_o

have_v not_o forget_v to_o be_v gracious_a nor_o have_v shut_v up_o his_o love_a kindness_n in_o displeasure_n but_o second_o god_n sometime_o be_v please_v to_o chasten_v and_o correct_v we_o for_o the_o trial_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o patience_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o pretend_v that_o we_o will_v rely_v upon_o god_n that_o we_o will_v put_v our_o whole_a trust_n

till_o we_o have_v go_v through_o a_o temptation_n of_o this_o nature_n he_o that_o have_v pass_v this_o fiery_a trial_n and_o have_v be_v thus_o refine_v in_o the_o furnace_n of_o adversity_n have_v then_o be_v examine_v by_o the_o true_a touchstone_n and_o have_v sufficient_o demonstrate_v that_o his_o faith_n be_v not_o counterfeit_v but_o as_o affliction_n be_v send_v for_o the_o trial_n of_o our_o faith_n so_o also_o be_v they_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o patience_n this_o be_v a_o grace_n which_o can_v never_o be_v practise_v but_o in_o the_o rough_a tempest_n of_o adversity_n

we_o find_v it_o so_o conformable_a then_o with_o our_o own_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v content_v with_o the_o divine_a dispensation_n because_o our_o affair_n be_v then_o carry_v on_o as_o if_o we_o

we_o if_o we_o meditate_v upon_o they_o due_o as_o christian_n shall_v do_v they_o afford_v we_o just_a matter_n of_o joy_n and_o consolation_n a_o good_a christian_n be_v always_o better_v by_o

be_v our_o charity_n most_o likely_a to_o be_v enlarge_v and_o we_o be_v never_o more_o apt_a to_o compassionate_v our_o brethren_n than_o when_o we_o ourselves_o be_v object_n of_o pity_n this_o give_v we_o a_o fellow-feeling_n of_o the_o misery_n of_o other_o and_o convince_v we_o how_o inhuman_a it_o be_v to_o be_v unaffected_a with_o they_o by_o the_o sense_n which_o we_o have_v of_o the_o
