the_o lord_n his_o trust_n and_o regard_v not_o the_o proud_a nor_o such_o as_o turn_v aside_o to_o lie_n 5_o o_o lord_n my_o god_n thou_o have_v make_v thy_o wonderful_a work_n so_o many_o that_o

declare_v thy_o righteousness_n in_o the_o great_a congregation_n loe_o i_o will_v not_o refrain_v my_o lip_n o_o lord_n thou_o know_v 10_o i_o have_v not_o hide_v thy_o righteousness_n within_o my_o heart_n but_o i_o have_v declare_v thy_o truth_n and_o thy_o salvation_n i_o have_v not_o conceal_v thy_o mercy_n and_o thy_o truth_n from_o the_o great_a congregation_n 11_o withdraw_v not_o thy_o tender_a mercy_n from_o i_o o_o lord_n let_v thy_o mercy_n and_o thy_o truth_n always_o preserve_v i_o 12_o for_o innumerable_a trouble_n have_v compass_v i_o my_o sin_n have_v take_v such_o hold_n upon_o i_o that_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o look_v up_o yea_o they_o be_v more_o in_o number_n then_o the_o hair_n of_o my_o head_n therefore_o my_o heart_n have_v fail_v i_o 13_o let_v it_o please_v thou_o o_o lord_n to_o deliver_v i_o make_v haste_n o_o lord_n to_o help_v i_o 14_o let_v they_o be_v confound_v and_o put_v to_o shame_n together_o that_o seek_v my_o soul_n to_o destroy_v it_o let_v they_o be_v drive_v backward_o and_o put_v to_o rebuke_v that_o desire_n my_o hurt_n 15_o let_v they_o be_v destroy_v for_o a_o reward_n of_o their_o shame_n which_o say_v unto_o i_o aha_o ah_o 16_o let_v all_o they_o that_o seek_v thou_o rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a in_o thou_o and_o let_v they_o that_o love_v thy_o salvation_n say_v always_o the_o lord_n be_v praise_v 17_o though_o i_o be_v poor_a and_o needy_a the_o lord_n think_v on_o i_o thou_o be_v my_o helper_n and_o my_o deliverer_n my_o god_n make_v no_o tarry_n this_o psalm_n for_o the_o most_o part_n tend_v to_o praise_v and_o thanksgiving_n for_o the_o author_n of_o it_o david_n partly_o praise_v god_n from_o his_o own_o late_a experience_n and_o partly_o from_o the_o public_a experience_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n therefore_o for_o this_o his_o experience_n he_o offer_v his_o service_n to_o god_n protest_v to_o be_v thankful_a to_o he_o as_o he_o have_v be_v thankful_a in_o time_n past_a and_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o psalm_n he_o retire_v himself_o to_o prayer_n and_o commend_v his_o estate_n to_o the_o protection_n of_o god_n that_o as_o he_o have_v deliver_v he_o in_o time_n past_a so_o he_o will_v continue_v the_o same_o in_o mercy_n to_o he_o in_o time_n to_o come_v this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o this_o psalm_n touch_v the_o part_n of_o it_o we_o have_v three_o in_o the_o first_o whereof_o we_o have_v the_o praise_n and_o commendation_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o kindness_n of_o god_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o reject_v not_o they_o that_o depend_v upon_o he_o in_o the_o second_o for_o this_o experience_n that_o he_o have_v find_v he_o offer_v his_o service_n to_o god_n &_o as_o he_o have_v proclaim_v his_o justice_n &_o mercy_n in_o time_n past_a so_o he_o protest_v that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v the_o same_o in_o time_n to_o come_v in_o the_o three_o as_o i_o speak_v before_o he_o retire_v to_o prayer_n he_o commend_v his_o estate_n to_o god_n that_o as_o it_o have_v please_v he_o to_o preserve_v he_o in_o time_n past_a so_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o preserve_v he_o in_o time_n to_o come_v follow_v the_o literal_a meaning_n this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o psalm_n if_o you_o take_v it_o otherwise_o there_o be_v a_o notable_a prophecy_n concern_v the_o office_n of_o christ_n jesus_n concern_v the_o abolish_n of_o the_o old_a covenant_n and_o establish_v of_o the_o new_a and_o concern_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o our_o high_a priest_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n christ_n jesus_n then_o to_o return_v to_o the_o first_o part_n therein_o we_o have_v a_o singular_a experience_n set_v down_o indeed_o if_o the_o circumstance_n be_v well_o consider_v his_o experience_n be_v more_o than_o singular_a for_o by_o the_o last_o psalm_n the_o estate_n and_o care_n wherein_o he_o be_v at_o this_o time_n may_v be_v easy_o gather_v he_o be_v pursue_v by_o the_o treason_n of_o his_o own_o son_n absalon_n he_o be_v pursue_v by_o the_o scorn_n and_o jest_n of_o his_o own_o servant_n in_o this_o great_a extremity_n he_o burst_v out_o into_o prayer_n &_o beg_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v withdraw_v his_o hand_n from_o he_o for_o a_o space_n and_o why_o he_o be_v consume_v with_o his_o own_o iniquity_n he_o desire_v that_o at_o the_o last_o he_o will_v incline_v his_o ear_n to_o his_o prayer_n and_o keep_v no_o long_o silence_n at_o his_o tear_n in_o respect_n he_o know_v he_o be_v but_o a_o soiourner_n and_o a_o pilgrim_n in_o the_o earth_n as_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o father_n be_v he_o say_v withdraw_v thy_o heavy_a hand_n o_o lord_n and_o let_v the_o mercy_n that_o i_o look_v for_o appear_v to_o i_o now_o in_o this_o psalm_n he_o let_v we_o see_v what_o issue_n and_o end_v his_o long_a wait_v obtain_v to_o wit_n a_o most_o bless_a and_o happy_a end_n for_o in_o this_o psalm_n we_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n at_o last_o incline_v his_o ear_n unto_o he_o and_o show_v in_o experience_n that_o though_o he_o answer_v he_o not_o at_o first_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o deaf_a but_o accomplish_v his_o desire_n in_o draw_v he_o out_o of_o his_o misery_n in_o the_o which_o he_o lay_v which_o misery_n he_o describe_v by_o two_o proper_a similitude_n the_o first_o similitude_n be_v take_v from_o the_o pit_n the_o second_o be_v take_v from_o the_o mire_n of_o clay_n at_o the_o last_o the_o lord_n draw_v he_o out_o of_o this_o horrible_a pit_n and_o place_v he_o upon_o the_o shore_n he_o oppose_v the_o rock_n unto_o the_o pit_n and_o the_o fair_a way_n to_o the_o miry_a clay_n and_o place_v he_o upon_o a_o plain_a and_o fair_a way_n and_o direct_v his_o journey_n so_o his_o long_a expectation_n obtain_v a_o most_o happy_a issue_n in_o this_o his_o experience_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n that_o offer_v themselves_o to_o be_v consider_v first_o what_o be_v this_o that_o he_o sustain_v in_o this_o long_o wait_v what_o be_v it_o that_o make_v he_o to_o continue_v without_o despair_n second_o what_o be_v david_n exercise_n all_o the_o time_n of_o this_o long_o wait_v three_o what_o issue_n &_o end_v this_o long_a wait_a obtain_v as_o for_o the_o wait_a there_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n that_o sustain_v he_o but_o that_o same_o which_o we_o christian_n call_v a_o christian_a hope_n or_o a_o christian_a expectation_n which_o hope_n be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n wrought_v in_o we_o by_o the_o power_n thereof_o whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o with_o great_a patience_n abide_v the_o performance_n of_o the_o lord_n promise_n hope_n in_o this_o hope_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n enclose_v there_o be_v first_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o thing_n hope_v for_o &_o yet_o notwithstanding_o a_o certain_a expectation_n of_o the_o same_o this_o hope_n of_o we_o be_v different_a from_o our_o faith_n faith_n though_o it_o rise_v and_o spring_v thereof_o in_o two_o special_a point_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o faith_n take_v hold_v on_o the_o promise_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v believe_v but_o the_o promise_n promise_n be_v propound_v to_o be_v believe_v and_o commandment_n to_o be_v obey_v the_o nature_n of_o faith_n then_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o promise_n the_o nature_n of_o hope_n look_v not_o so_o much_o to_o the_o promise_n as_o to_o the_o thing_n promise_v the_o nature_n of_o hope_n be_v to_o look_v continual_o until_o it_o possess_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v promise_v the_o nature_n of_o faith_n make_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v absent_a in_o itself_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n to_o be_v present_a as_o if_o it_o be_v extant_a and_o subsist_v before_o thy_o sense_n and_o therefore_o faith_n be_v call_v the_o ground_n &_o substance_n of_o thing_n absent_a for_o faith_n make_v they_o as_o sure_o by_o the_o

end_n that_o he_o may_v draw_v they_o by_o the_o hand_n to_o repentance_n and_o now_o see_v they_o have_v abuse_v the_o time_n of_o his_o sit_v he_o be_v even_o at_o the_o rise_n and_o assure_o the_o lord_n shall_v rise_v to_o be_v revenge_v upon_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o great_a man_n of_o this_o country_n who_o sin_n do_v so_o abound_v and_o whereby_o know_v you_o this_o by_o one_o argument_n which_o be_v infallible_a examine_v by_o your_o own_o wit_n and_o judgement_n which_o you_o have_v of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o by_o your_o natural_a judgement_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o country_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v a_o great_a birth_n of_o iniquity_n both_o in_o hie-land_n &_o low-land_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o it_o can_v be_v heavy_a load_v with_o mischief_n in_o all_o corner_n than_o it_o be_v now_o yea_o the_o ground_n must_v be_v disburden_v of_o this_o iniquity_n where_o the_o lieutenant_n who_o god_n have_v place_v oversee_v it_o and_o will_v not_o disburden_v the_o earth_n of_o her_o birth_n where_o the_o magistrate_n that_o be_v inferior_n neglect_v their_o duty_n of_o necessity_n he_o must_v extraordinary_o from_o the_o

overtake_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n himself_o shall_v come_v down_o short_o to_o disburden_v it_o and_o why_o because_o i_o see_v all_o token_n that_o go_v immediate_o before_o his_o come_n to_o be_v already_o pass_v faith_n be_v skarslie_o to_o be_v find_v yea_o no_o faith_n in_o promise_n much_o less_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n for_o iniquity_n abound_v so_o and_o there_o be_v so_o many_o confusion_n leave_v unovertaken_v by_o the_o magistrate_n that_o it_o appear_v clear_o ●he_v judge_n himself_o must_v needs_o come_v and_o that_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v the_o first_o that_o shall_v redress_v this_o confusion_n and_o see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o become_v not_o we_o to_o be_v idle_a for_o sure_o the_o time_n draw_v near_o and_o

if_o the_o ethnik_n may_v say_v justly_o that_o the_o labyrinth_n &_o deceit_n of_o the_o hart_n of_o man_n be_v infinite_a how_o much_o more_o may_v we_o speak_v it_o have_v jerem._n his_o warrant_n
