that_o be_v in_o like_a sort_n distress_v and_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o deliver_v they_o for_o that_o once_o they_o after_o prove_v more_o thankful_a to_o god_n more_o careful_a in_o their_o duty_n and_o more_o pitiful_a to_o the_o needy_a again_o this_o and_o other_o such_o misery_n humble_v we_o under_o the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o god_n our_o flesh_n swell_v and_o like_o sathyrions_n

these_o want_n teach_v we_o what_o we_o lack_v and_o how_o necessary_a his_o grace_n be_v for_o us._n the_o whole_a race_n of_o mankind_n if_o all_o their_o force_n and_o wit_n be_v unite_v be_v not_o

punish_v his_o child_n make_v they_o a_o example_n of_o patience_n to_o all_o other_o the_o godly_a see_v they_o in_o these_o affliction_n so_o patient_a so_o constant_a so_o faithful_a so_o thankful_a reap_v much_o comfort_n thereby_o hope_v for_o the_o like_a help_n from_o god_n in_o their_o like_a distress_n for_o thus_o they_o reason_n within_o themselves_o god_n do_v assist_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o take_v all_o thing_n patient_o so_o will_v he_o also_o be_v present_a with_o i_o arm_v i_o with_o the_o same_o mind_n against_o all_o such_o calamity_n and_o the_o wicked_a thereby_o may_v conclude_v that_o if_o god_n thus_o punish_v his_o own_o child_n they_o must_v look_v for_o a_o more_o grievous_a chastisement_n if_o it_o fare_v so_o with_o the_o green_a and_o fruitful_a tree_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o wither_a branch_n in_o brief_a all_o sort_n may_v observe_v by_o this_o his_o correction_n of_o his_o own_o choose_a thus_o fearful_o the_o heavy_a judgement_n and_o direful_a wrath_n of_o the_o just_a god_n against_o man_n sin_n that_o since_o he_o chasten_v small_a sin_n in_o they_o much_o more_o will_v he_o scourge_v they_o that_o sin_n with_o a_o high_a hand_n and_o that_o offend_v with_o a_o presumptuous_a foot_n but_o to_o conclude_v you_o have_v hear_v for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o cause_n and_o motive_n that_o provoke_v god_n to_o send_v this_o plague_n of_o famine_n with_o other_o public_a and_o private_a affliction_n upon_o man_n not_o spare_v his_o own_o elect_a and_o faithful_a let_v we_o desire_v of_o god_n patience_n in_o such_o distress_n and_o repentance_n from_o sin_n the_o cause_n principal_a of_o such_o distress_n to_o he_o be_v glory_n and_o praise_n etc._n etc._n the_o three_o sermon_n as_o a_o expert_a physician_n first_o show_v the_o cause_n and_o danger_n of_o the_o disease_n and_o after_o that_o prescribe_v to_o his_o patient_n both_o physic_n to_o cure_v he_o and_o the_o order_n of_o his_o diet_n the_o same_o course_n must_v a_o spiritual_a physician_n take_v in_o any_o public_a plague_n of_o famine_n and_o dearth_n namely_o to_o make_v man_n both_o feel_v the_o greevousnesse_n of_o the_o calamity_n &_o also_o to_o teach_v they_o their_o duty_n of_o demeanour_n in_o this_o public_a or_o private_a affliction_n and_o this_o course_n have_v we_o hitherto_o observe_v in_o the_o two_o former_a sermon_n set_v forth_o god_n to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o plenty_n and_o want_n with_o the_o dreadfulness_n of_o famine_n and_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o only_a motive_n which_o provoke_v god_n thereto_o and_o last_o the_o end_n why_o god_n do_v punish_v in_o this_o sort_n as_o well_o his_o choose_a child_n as_o the_o wicked_a atheist_n now_o it_o remain_v that_o i_o prescribe_v the_o diet_n that_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o our_o behaviour_n in_o such_o affliction_n and_o herein_o that_o we_o may_v more_o orderly_o proceed_v we_o will_v first_o show_v what_o duerie_n belong_v to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o these_o case_n afterward_o what_o concern_v magistrate_n preacher_n householder_n rich_a &_o poor_a of_o all_o sort_n to_o do_v herein_o particular_o add_v this_o as_o the_o preparative_n to_o our_o diet_n that_o we_o advertise_v the_o faithful_a not_o so_o to_o despair_v in_o these_o punishment_n as_o if_o god_n have_v reserve_v to_o they_o no_o hope_n of_o mercy_n and_o assistance_n though_o their_o sin_n be_v great_a and_o many_o solomon_n in_o this_o his_o prayer_n among_o other_o thing_n warn_v the_o godly_a that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o dearth_n and_o penury_n they_o do_v confess_v their_o sin_n bewail_v they_o and_o amend_v their_o life_n not_o only_o in_o cease_v to_o do_v ill_a but_o in_o do_v good_a for_o by_o these_o misery_n it_o please_v god_n to_o call_v we_o into_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n after_o he_o will_v we_o to_o praise_v the_o name_n of_o god_n by_o acknowledge_v both_o his_o judgement_n and_o his_o mercy_n that_o in_o punish_v our_o sin_n thus_o in_o that_o he_o utter_o overthrow_v we_o not_o for_o it_o be_v his_o mercy_n that_o we_o be_v not_o all_o consume_v for_o if_o he_o shall_v mark_v extreme_o what_o be_v do_v amiss_o and_o punish_v we_o according_o both_o in_o this_o life_n miserable_o and_o in_o the_o other_o we_o shall_v be_v eternal_o afflict_v it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n from_o adam_n say_v job_n to_o conceal_v his_o own_o fault_n and_o to_o lay_v it_o upon_o another_o and_o so_o in_o the_o time_n of_o famine_n many_o cry_n out_o upon_o cornhoorder_n usurer_n engrosser_n witch_n and_o conjurer_n as_o if_o they_o be_v the_o only_a procurer_n of_o scarcity_n and_o sometime_o perhaps_o not_o amiss_o but_o this_o be_v the_o more_o christian_n and_o near_a course_n to_o have_v recourse_n to_o ourselves_o every_o man_n to_o say_v of_o himself_o herein_o as_o david_n speak_v in_o a_o like_a punishment_n it_o be_v i_o that_o have_v sin_v and_o have_v bring_v on_o this_o judgement_n furthermore_o he_o bid_v we_o desire_v god_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n to_o turn_v away_o these_o grievous_a storm_n rain_n or_o tempest_n as_o also_o unseasonable_a
