when

And

Farther.,
Remember

that Scripture
in
the 13.
of
the
Hebrews
you
are
lyable
to
thofe
things
that
they
are
:
and how jut}
were it with God if
I
thould not be
affe&ed
with
the miferies
ofothers, that
God
thould
bring
as
great if
not
greater
upon
me.
The Lord

as
ever
were brought
upon
any
part
of

and
there
is
no
fuch

liigne
that God
intends
it
towards
you,
as
the
being
unfenfible
of the
afflidions
of
your

O

as
they,
and
therefore
considering
how
lyable you are
to the
fame, or
to
much
greater
afflidions,
ô
be
fenfible
of the
miferies
of
your
brethren, the
f
rious thoughts
of them
would
be
a mighty
argument
to
worke
upon
