that_o be_v never_o trouble_v we_o know_v by_o experience_n do_v breed_v the_o most_o filth_n and_o if_o the_o air_n shall_v still_o be_v calm_a and_o never_o be_v cleanse_v by_o the_o wind_n by_o

therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o sometime_o he_o shall_v be_v abridge_v and_o pinch_v and_o so_o do_v the_o lord_n also_o by_o interrupt_v the_o peace_n and_o ease_n of_o his_o church_n purge_v the_o ill_a humour_n of_o pride_n and_o contempt_n grow_v in_o the_o body_n of_o his_o church_n so_o do_v he_o use_v to_o scour_v off_o the_o rust_n of_o impatience_n and_o distrustfulnes_n which_o grow_v upon_o our_o iron_n heart_n with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n so_o do_v he_o by_o storm_n and_o tempest_n by_o thundering_n &_o lightning_n of_o trouble_n and_o persecution_n cleanse_v the_o corrupt_a air_n of_o his_o church_n lest_o the_o good_a grace_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o repentance_n and_o of_o love_n and_o of_o zeal_n and_o of_o patience_n and_o of_o charity_n shall_v through_o continual_a calmness_n be_v infect_v with_o infidelity_n or_o impenitency_v or_o hardness_n of_o heart_n or_o profaneness_n or_o pride_n or_o vainglory_n or_o self-love_n or_o coldness_n or_o apostasy_n or_o with_o one_o spiritual_a disease_n or_o another_o and_o so_o do_v the_o lord_n use_v to_o pinch_v and_o abridge_v his_o church_n of_o the_o food_n of_o his_o heavenly_a word_n now_o and_o then_o and_o sometime_o for_o a_o long_a time_n when_o it_o be_v loathe_v and_o play_v withal_o and_o tread_v under_o foot_n and_o all_o this_o the_o lord_n do_v in_o singular_a
