shall_v fail_v and_o the_o field_n shall_v yield_v no_o meat_n the_o flock_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o fold_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o herd_n in_o the_o stall_n yet_o i_o will_v

beyond_o that_o kind_n of_o trust_v on_o god_n which_o the_o people_n of_o the_o world_n have_v when_o we_o can_v trust_v on_o god_n in_o deep_a poverty_n sickness_n or_o imprisonment_n under_o loss_n and_o the_o opposition_n and_o hatred_n of_o the_o world_n against_o we_o for_o our_o duty_n and_o for_o our_o faithfulness_n unto_o and_o serve_v of_o god_n then_o if_o we_o can_v say_v yea_o and_o assent_v unto_o it_o in_o our_o heart_n it_o be_v a_o good_a god_n who_o we_o serve_v when_o we_o find_v and_o perceive_v from_o within_o ourselves_o all_o those_o outward_a evil_n sweeten_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o comforter_n and_o when_o all_o this_o be_v come_v upon_o we_o we_o have_v not_o nor_o yet_o will_v we_o deal_v false_o in_o thy_o covenant_n nor_o put_v forth_o

in_o this_o i'faith_o that_o god_n have_v provide_v better_a thing_n for_o we_o if_o we_o hold_v on_o in_o our_o innocency_n and_o integrity_n and_o trust_v that_o although_o these_o outward_a evil_n by_o their_o press_n and_o sit_v heavy_a upon_o we_o do_v well_o ●igh_o consume_v and_o destroy_v we_o say_v the_o psalmist_n i_o be_o almost_o consume_v but_o i_o have_v not_o forget_v thy_o law_n and_o make_v we_o to_o perish_v yet_o we_o know_v and_o hope_n that_o god_n will_v make_v a_o way_n for_o our_o escape_n without_o our_o sinful_a compliance_n or_o consent_v with_o the_o deed_n of_o they_o and_o work_v out_o deliverance_n for_o we_o by_o some_o mean_n or_o other_o or_o if_o we_o shall_v die_v and_o lose_v our_o life_n in_o they_o that_o he_o will_v raise_v up_o this_o life_n

far_o beyond_o the_o grave_a for_o this_o be_v further_a than_o we_o can_v now_o see_v he_o that_o if_o we_o shall_v die_v soon_o in_o his_o service_n and_o by_o do_v his_o work_n for_o possible_o he_o may_v suffer_v we_o to_o live_v long_o in_o neglect_v of_o it_o but_o then_o to_o hold_v on_o and_o be_v very_o persuade_v so_o as_o to_o act_v according_o that_o it_o will_v be_v better_o for_o we_o if_o the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o be_v than_o to_o have_v a_o long_a respite_n and_o reprieve_n this_o in_o very_a deed_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o superlative_a and_o high_a degree_n of_o all_o and_o the_o great_a instance_n of_o trust_v on_o god_n which_o can_v be_v when_o we_o love_v not_o our_o life_n unto_o the_o death_n but_o we_o be_v content_v to_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o they_o who_o be_v slay_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o testimony_n which_o they_o hold_v rev._n 6._o 9_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o talkative_a christian_n use_v this_o follow_a scripture-phrase_n in_o their_o mouth_n that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v in_o they_o whether_o it_o be_v by_o life_n or_o by_o death_n but_o herein_o be_v the_o labour_n and_o business_n this_o indeed_o be_v the_o excellency_n and_o praise_n thereof_o and_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v a_o real_a trust_n on_o god_n to_o undergo_v and_o submit_v to_o the_o same_o the_o apostle_n and_o first_o christian_n do_v just_a mention_n that_o say_v but_o they_o do_v also_o set_v their_o seal_n to_o it_o even_o the_o seal_n of_o their_o blood_n so_o they_o be_v doer_n of_o that_o word_n more_o than_o talker_n thereof_o whereas_o those_o who_o now_o a_o day_n seem_v to_o be_v religious_a do_v also_o use_v this_o say_v in_o their_o mouth_n but_o for_o themselves_o to_o experience_n and_o witness_v the_o same_o if_o a_o hour_n of_o trial_n shall_v come_v they_o will_v endeavour_v as_o much_o to_o excuse_v or_o decline_v it_o although_o it_o be_v by_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n or_o omission_n of_o duty_n but_o give_v i_o the_o man_n that_o be_v for_o do_v be_v most_o certain_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n as_o we_o may_v gather_v from_o his_o write_a word_n and_o and_o we_o also_o learn_v the_o same_o because_o such_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o his_o reasonable_a creature_n who_o come_v most_o near_o to_o the_o likeness_n of_o god_n in_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n and_o of_o be_v without_o fear_n i_o may_v make_v a_o whole_a sermon_n in_o quote_v and_o amass_v together_o those_o manifold_a scripture_n as_o indeed_o there_o be_v very_o many_o of_o they_o throughout_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o explain_v and_o confirm_v that_o great_a duty_n of_o trust_n on_o god_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n and_o mean_v aforemention_v as_o indeed_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v such_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o proper_a trust_n unless_o there_o be_v some_o hazard_n or_o seem_v and_o appear_v danger_n and_o difficulty_n but_o that_o place_n of_o habakkuk_n 3._o 17_o 18._o aforecited_a be_v sufficient_a to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o observation_n how_o exceed_v full_a be_v the_o whole_a book_n of_o psalm_n in_o the_o bible_n translation_n especial_o of_o

and_o respect_v not_o the_o proud_a nor_o such_o as_o turn_v aside_o to_z lie_z psal_n 40._o 4._o by_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o which_o verse_n we_o may_v see_v and_o learn_v that_o to_o have_v respect_n unto_o person_n or_o to_o give_v deference_n unto_o man_n or_o to_o give_v way_n unto_o sin_n or_o to_o turn_v aside_o to_o falsehood_n all_o this_o and_o the_o like_a be_v quite_o opposite_a and_o contrary_n unto_o the_o make_n the_o lord_n our_o trust_n but_o that_o that_o man_n be_v bless_v who_o make_v the_o lord_n his_o trust_n we_o have_v it_o not_o only_o affirm_v here_o but_o almost_o in_o every_o one_o of_o the_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o psalm_n especial_o yet_o more_o in_o those_o who_o have_v the_o title_n and_o inscription_n of_o a_o psalm_n of_o david_n therein_o be_v more_o say_v hereof_o consider_v the_o like_a quantity_n and_o proportion_n of_o word_n than_o in_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n or_o in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n evangelist_n and_o apostle_n though_o all_o these_o also_o be_v sufficient_o fraught_v with_o blessing_n and_o promise_n make_v and_o annex_v to_o the_o trust_n on_o god_n why_o do_v david_n the_o sweet_a singer_n of_o israel_n harp_n more_o upon_o that_o string_n than_o other_o for_o indeed_o both_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n and_o also_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n and_o the_o matter_n thereof_o be_v a_o well_o tune_v cymbal_n the_o reason_n hereof_o seem_v to_o be_v this_o because_o that_o david_n write_v and_o pen_v these_o psalm_n during_o the_o time_n he_o be_v under_o continue_a affliction_n saul_n

prison_n so_o he_o be_v much_o or_o rather_o more_o by_o his_o spirit_n with_o his_o servant_n in_o trouble_n than_o when_o they_o be_v out_o of_o it_o by_o the_o same_o spirit_n he_o make_v know_v
