with_o such_o shame_n as_o may_v bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n or_o which_o may_v confound_v they_o if_o they_o will_v not_o repent_v he_o pray_v against_o their_o enterprise_n not_o against_o

he_o make_v that_o prayer_n which_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o make_v for_o we_o can_v pray_v that_o god_n people_n may_v be_v comfort_v in_o our_o deliverance_n but_o we_o must_v also_o pray_v that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o wicked_a may_v turn_v to_o their_o shame_n this_o be_v observe_v that_o we_o pray_v not_o against_o their_o person_n but_o their_o enterprise_n then_o this_o

a_o cloak_n of_o our_o evil_a purpose_n &_o sin_n against_o he_o we_o may_v then_o pray_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v bless_v his_o word_n among_o we_o that_o he_o will_v sanctify_v we_o by_o it_o that_o our_o good_a work_n may_v be_v know_v to_o other_o for_o his_o glory_n therefore_o we_o may_v pray_v so_o that_o it_o be_v in_o love_n that_o the_o heresy_n of_o papist_n family_n of_o love_n

and_o their_o do_n false_a and_o then_o may_v we_o pray_v with_o hope_n because_o the_o righteous_a god_n love_v righteousness_n and_o if_o the_o cause_n be_v good_a it_o will_v come_v to_o a_o good_a end_n for_o though_o truth_n may_v be_v ashamed_a yet_o it_o can_v be_v ashamed_a for_o ever_o for_o god_n will_v defend_v his_o own_o cause_n and_o though_o the_o wicked_a for_o a_o time_n prevail_v yet_o in_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v come_v to_o shame_n this_o then_o first_o comfort_v we_o in_o every_o good_a cause_n that_o it_o shall_v have_v a_o good_a issue_n and_o again_o that_o we_o take_v no_o evil_a cause_n in_o hand_n for_o if_o we_o do_v it_o will_v bring_v shame_n at_o the_o last_o but_o i_o meditate_v in_o thy_o statute_n he_o repeat_v the_o same_o thing_n often_o and_o

that_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o none_o do_v so_o careful_o look_v unto_o as_o they_o ought_v and_o he_o show_v that_o as_o his_o enemy_n seek_v by_o evil_a mean_n to_o hurt_v he_o so_o he_o seek_v to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o hurt_v he_o then_o we_o must_v not_o set_v policy_n against_o policy_n nor_o cretizare_n cum_fw-la cretensibus_fw-la but_o

see_v they_o never_o want_v evil_a mean_n because_o they_o give_v over_o themselves_o thereto_o so_o if_o we_o will_v give_v over_o ourselves_o to_o god_n and_o his_o word_n and_o admit_v nothing_o

of_o other_o when_o many_o see_v that_o religion_n can_v be_v true_o profess_v but_o danger_n will_v come_v of_o it_o because_o many_o set_v themselves_o against_o it_o they_o fly_v from_o it_o and_o
