the_o everlasting_a life_n so_o say_v paul_n 8._o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o affliction_n of_o this_o life_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o the_o glory_n which_o shall_v be_v show_v upon_o us._n again_o 4._o our_o tribulation_n which_o be_v short_a and_o light_o prepare_v a_o exceed_a and_o a_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n unto_o we_o while_o we_o look_v not_o on_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v see_v but_o on_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v be_v temporal_a but_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v be_v eterna●l_o 1._o bless_a peter_n say_v also_o in_o the_o which_o you_o rejoice_v though_o now_o for_o a_o season_n you_o be_v in_o hevine_v through_o many_o fold_n tentation_n that_o the_o trial_n of_o your_o faith_n be_v much_o more_o precious_a than_o gold_n that_o perish_v may_v be_v find_v unto_o praise_n glory_n &_o honour_n at_o the_o appear_v of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o you_o have_v not_o see_v &_o yet_o love_v he_o in_o who_o even_o now_o though_o you_o see_v he_o not_o yet_o do_v you_o believe_v and_o rejoice_v with_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a 5._o receive_v the_o end_n of_o your_o faith_n even_o the_o salvation_n of_o your_o soul_n again_o the_o god_n of_o all_o grace_n which_o have_v call_v we_o unto_o his_o eternal_a glory_n by_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v his_o own_o self_n after_o that_o you_o have_v suffer_v a_o little_a affliction_n make_v you_o perfect_a settle_v strength_n and_o establish_v you_o affliction_n he_o that_o can_v thus_o believe_v and_o be_v thus_o certain_o persuade_v of_o this_o say_n a_o little_a while_n shall_v find_v great_a consolation_n in_o his_o affliction_n wherewith_o he_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o stay_v himself_o therefore_o all_o the_o matter_n stand_v in_o this_o one_o point_n that_o we_o sure_o trust_v the_o lord_n christ_n and_o count_v his_o word_n to_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o true_a and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v trouble_v and_o afflict_a yet_o it_o shall_v continue_v but_o a_o little_a while_n so_o that_o we_o may_v comfort_v ourselves_o in_o the_o cross_n as_o they_o comfort_v a_o woman_n that_o travayl_v of_o child_n namely_o that_o she_o

any_o great_a gladness_n where_o no_o sorrow_n and_o sadness_n have_v be_v before_o but_o through_o the_o importunity_n of_o reason_n we_o be_v keep_v in_o miserable_a bondage_n which_o always_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o our_o affliction_n come_v not_o from_o the_o favour_n but_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v perish_v in_o the_o same_o and_o never_o be_v deliver_v god_n but_o the_o matter_n be_v far_o otherwise_o for_o as_o sorrow_n and_o pain_n do_v therefore_o chance_n to_o woman_n travail_v of_o child_n that_o a_o infant_n may_v be_v bear_v so_o likewise_o our_o affliction_n be_v therefore_o send_v to_o we_o from_o god_n that_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o may_v obtain_v our_o true_a glory_n and_o so_o for_o ever_o be_v save_v affliction_n this_o also_o be_v not_o to_o be_v pass_v over_o with_o silence_n that_o christ_n interprete_v and_o make_v plain_n to_o his_o disciple_n what_o joy_n shall_v chance_v unto_o they_o i_o say_v he_o will_v see_v you_o again_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n when_o they_o see_v he_o in_o a_o new_a and_o everlasting_a life_n christ_n therefore_o see_v we_o also_o and_o our_o heart_n

everlastyng_o and_o this_o be_v a_o true_a sound_n perfect_a and_o everlasting_a joy_n which_o change_v all_o sadness_n neither_o shall_v it_o at_o any_o time_n be_v take_v away_o from_o us._n let_v we_o therefore_o beware_v and_o take_v heed_n of_o impatiency_n and_o desperation_n when_o we_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o this_o comfort_n be_v diligent_o to_o be_v retain_v and_o keep_v fast_a that_o

many_o thing_n to_o say_v unto_o you_o but_o you_o can_v bear_v they_o away_o now_o how_o be_v it_o when_o he_o be_v come_v which_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n he_o will_v lead_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n he_o shall_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o but_o whatsoever_o he_o shall_v hear_v that_o shall_v he_o speak_v and_o he_o will_v show_v you_o thing_n to_o come_v he_o shall_v glorify_v i_o for_o he_o shall_v receive_v of_o i_o and_o shall_v show_v unto_o you_o all_o thing_n that_o the_o father_n have_v be_v i_o therefore_o say_v i_o unto_o you_o that_o he_o shall_v take_v of_o i_o and_o

to_o be_v regard_v if_o that_o man_n will_v be_v instruct_v to_o know_v what_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o do_v for_o here_o we_o do_v learn_v that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v love_v and_o that_o we_o must_v
