Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
That the expectation of evil is more afflictive then the feeling of evil; He doth not say, he is slain with the Sword, or cut off with the Sword; but he is waited for, or he waits for the Sword: All evil attends him who is thus attended, or who gives such attendance. He that is always looking for evil cannot enjoy the good which he sees. For as the assured hope of approaching comfort swallows up our present sorrows, so the continual expectation of approaching sorrow swallows up our present comforts.
That the expectation of evill is more afflictive then the feeling of evill; He doth not say, he is slaine with the Sword, or cut off with the Sword; but he is waited for, or he waites for the Sword: All evill attends him who is thus attended, or who gives such attendance. He that is alwayes looking for evill cannot enjoy the good which he sees. For as the assured hope of approaching comfort swallows up our present sorrows, so the continuall expectation of approaching sorrow swallows up our present comforts.
Fourthly, It is not said either by what Sword or by whose Sword he is waited for, but he is waited for of the Sword; here is the Sword, but here is no hand named, neither the hand of God, nor the hand of man, drawing and wielding this Sword.
Fourthly, It is not sayd either by what Sword or by whose Sword he is waited for, but he is waited for of the Sword; here is the Sword, but here is no hand named, neither the hand of God, nor the hand of man, drawing and weilding this Sword.
Hence note.
