For
Firft,The
people
of
God
cannot
but be
pained
in
their
hearts
when they fee unrighteous
dealings
in
the world,
as
much
pain'd
as
a
man
is
that
wants
bread,
it
more troubles
them then
all
their
perfecurions,.
then
all
their
affli&ions,
and
there
is
nothing
in
the world that they
long for more
then the
.
cooing
of
J
elus
Chr
if+
to
this
end,not
only
that
they
themf
lvs
may
be faved,
but that

may
prevaile.
For Firff,-When the
Saints fee
unrighteous dealings
in
the
world,
by
that
they
fee
the honour of
God
is
much eclipfed
;
why
they think
thuswith
themselves,
is
not

Cod,
then
what
a dtta
orour
is this
to
fuch
a
righteous
God,
that there ihould
be
fo much
unrighteoufneffe in
the world
as
there
is.

into their
hearts
;
In
ome
meaiure their hearts
are
for righteou
nee,
now
when they fee
men
in publick place,
or men
that
make
profeihon of
Religion to
carry things

righteoufly
,
this
pauses
them,
'tis that that
is
unfutable
to
that
gracious
frame that

their
hearts.
Thirdly,
By

Fourthly,By
the
unrighteoufneffe
that they
fee
in
the world,
there
are
many
temptations
to

godly were
affli&ed,
David
began
to
faile,
and his
foote began to flide
;
When
fuch
as

men
that

and
yet

defignes,
and
