THE ANALYSIS.

Euery good Christian ought to struggle with his in∣firmities, & labour to compass his minde to meet pati∣ence in sick∣nesse; espe∣cially consi∣dering that sicknes is—

1 His heauenly Fathers visi∣tation, whose
- 1 Power cannot bee re∣sisted.
- 2 Will must be obeyed.
- 3 Goodnesse must bee ac∣knowledged in sending vs good as well as euill.
2 A deserued scourge for his sinne.
3 Seat in loue to him for his good
- 1 To weane him from the loue of the world.
- 2 To strengthen the spirit in him, and tame the flesh.
- 3 To breed in him a loathing and de∣testation of sin in generall, the cause of all afflictions.
- 4 To call him home, and bring him to a sence & acknowledgement of his particular sinne.
- 5 To proue the truth and sincerity of his faith and loue.
- 6 To saue him from eternall punish∣ment for his sinne.
- 7 To make him seeke more earnestly to God, who will be found of him, and (if his appointed time bee not come) manifest his glory in deliue∣ring him frō the very iawes of death.
