their_o heart_n to_o think_v they_o shall_v provoke_v their_o heavenly_a and_o dear_a father_n against_o they_o to_o chastise_v they_o so_o severe_o 6._o when_o we_o be_v under_o great_a affliction_n and_o god_n hide_v his_o face_n or_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o we_o than_o affliction_n be_v bitter_a this_o be_v to_o be_v outward_o afflict_v and_o inward_o too_o 7._o when_o affliction_n be_v last_v or_o of_o long_a continuance_n than_o they_o be_v very_o bitter_a a_o small_a burden_n or_o weight_n bear_v long_o will_v weary_v a_o strong_a man_n but_o if_o it_o be_v very_o heavy_a and_o

wicked_a man_n though_o never_o so_o with_o his_o own_o people_n and_o to_o such_o affliction_n be_v bitter_a indeed_o inference_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v perceive_v what_o a_o evil_a sin_n be_v that_o god_n will_v not_o spare_v his_o own_o child_n when_o they_o offend_v he_o sin_n be_v a_o bitter_a thing_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o affliction_n be_v many_o time_n the_o
