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
