this_o doctrine_n we_o learn_v two_o thing_n sin_n the_o one_o that_o god_n hate_v not_o the_o trouble_a man_n for_o his_o trouble_n but_o for_o his_o sin_n man_n do_v clean_o contrary_a for_o the_o

in_o prayer_n we_o may_v the_o better_o know_v and_o more_o earnest_o repent_v our_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o trouble_n three_o that_o by_o often_o remembrance_n and_o diverse_a

most_o gréevous_o displease_v the_o second_o virtue_n patient_a expectation_n in_o trouble_n expectation_n declare_v that_o we_o be_v much_o bind_v unto_o god_n that_o chasten_v we_o in_o this_o life_n and_o defer_v not_o our_o punishment_n to_o the_o eternal_a pain_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v also_o it_o make_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n to_o understand_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o also_o the_o foolishness_n of_o man_n that_o many_o time_n for_o lack_n of_o patient_a expectation_n and_o thankful_a sufferance_n wax_v weary_a of_o his_o cross_n and_o punishment_n and_o also_o murmure_v against_o god_n because_o he_o help_v not_o when_o man_n wisdom_n judge_v most_o meet_a to_o be_v holpen_v but_o patient_a expectation_n prescribe_v god_n no_o time_n when_o to_o help_v

of_o god_n do_n he_o feel_v no_o consolation_n thereof_o but_o much_o heaviness_n and_o anguish_n of_o mind_n for_o those_o demand_n will_v god_n absent_v himself_o for_o ever_o will_v he_o be_v no_o more_o merciful_a and_o such_o like_a heavy_a and_o doubtful_a complaint_n can_v never_o proceed_v but_o from_o a_o sorrowful_a and_o much_o trouble_a conscience_n but_o now_o after_o that_o god_n
