the_o ungodly_a or_o the_o patience_n of_o the_o good_a and_o thereupon_o break_v out_o into_o blasphemous_a speech_n either_o with_o those_o in_o job_n he_o 14._o walk_v in_o the_o circle_n of_o

another_o similitude_n in_o this_o case_n st._n augustine_n also_o use_v if_o a_o man_n either_o in_o the_o beginning_n or_o the_o middle_n of_o a_o verse_n shall_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o good_a

who_o dare_v to_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o orderly_a providence_n of_o god_n before_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o it_o be_v run_v out_o wherefore_o if_o thou_o be_v wise_a endeavour_v as_o much_o

be_v unjust_a 2._o but_o although_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o govern_v humane_a thing_n be_v a_o deep_a abyss_n yet_o the_o reason_n of_o eternal_a predestination_n and_o

some_o of_o their_o moral_a work_n not_o intend_v to_o give_v they_o life_n eternal_a or_o to_o allure_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o desire_v and_o hope_n for_o eternal_a
