it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o all_o the_o rod_n and_o dispensation_n which_o a_o christian_a meet_v with_o have_v one_o of_o these_o three_o end_n first_o the_o rod_n be_v either_o send_v to_o a_o christian_n that_o he_o may_v mortify_v his_o predominant_a idol_n or_o second_o for_o exercise_v of_o his_o predominant_a grace_n or_o else_o three_o that_o he_o may_v be_v put_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o that_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v his_o predominant_a duty_n these_o be_v voice_n and_o language_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o a_o christian_a meet_v with_o and_o i_o will_v only_o by_o the_o way_n say_v these_o two_o thing_n to_o you_o first_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o bear_v a_o rod_n patient_o which_o be_v for_o the_o trial_n and_o exercise_n of_o our_o predominant_a grace_n than_o to_o bear_v a_o rod_n patient_o which_o be_v for_o the_o mortify_n of_o our_o predominant_a idol_n there_o be_v no_o rod_n which_o a_o christian_a can_v bear_v worse_o than_o the_o rod_n which_o strike_v at_o the_o root_n of_o his_o predominant_a idol_n so_o a_o proud_a man_n he_o can_v bear_v any_o cross_a better_a nor_o reproach_n and_o a_o worldly_a mind_a man_n can_v bear_v any_o cross_a better_o than_o poverty_n so_o the_o cross_n which_o stand_v in_o direct_a opposition_n to_o our_o predominant_a idol_n we_o have_v great_a difficulty_n to_o bring_v our_o heart_n to_o a_o patient_a submission_n under_o it_o be_v there_o not_o many_o that_o when_o their_o idol_n be_v strike_v they_o cry_v out_o with_o that_o man_n in_o judg._n 18._o 24._o they_o have_v take_v away_o my_o god_n and_o what_o have_v i_o more_o be_v it_o not_o certain_a that_o when_o god_n strike_v sometime_o at_o the_o root_n of_o our_o predominant_a idol_n we_o cry_v out_o with_o jonah_n that_o it_o be_v better_a for_o i_o to_o die_v than_o to_o live_v though_o i_o may_v say_v the_o cross_n which_o we_o have_v least_o will_n to_o meet_v with_o be_v ordinary_o best_a for_o we_o for_o if_o so_o we_o may_v speak_v our_o will_n and_o our_o well_n be_v seldom_o or_o never_o knit_v together_o but_o precious_a christ_n his_o will_n and_o our_o well_n be_v oftentimes_o knit_v together_o second_o i_o will_v say_v this_o by_o the_o way_n there_o be_v ordinary_o some_o analogy_n betwixt_o our_o cross_n and_o our_o sin_n if_o the_o egyptian_n do_v kill_v all_o the_o male_a child_n of_o the_o israelite_n by_o cast_v they_o into_o the_o river_n god_n do_v likewise_o kill_v all_o the_o first_o bear_v into_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n and_o if_o nadab_n and_o abihâ—_n offer_v strange_a fire_n

of_o the_o rod._n and_o first_o many_o think_v indeed_o the_o cross_n speak_v wrath_n when_o it_o speak_v love_n and_o some_o when_o they_o can_v read_v love_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n they_o think_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o read_v love_n in_o his_o heart_n some_o think_v that_o love_n and_o the_o rod_n can_v be_v together_o at_o all_o i_o say_v god_n may_v never_o love_v a_o person_n more_o nor_o when_o he_o be_v correct_v he_o but_o first_o i_o will_v say_v to_o a_o person_n under_o that_o mistake_n we_o never_o know_v by_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n whether_o love_n or_o
