be_v expedient_a to_o know_v or_o at_o the_o least_o way_n not_o to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o any_o book_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o where_o as_o we_o find_v not_o consolation_n in_o the_o one_o we_o

against_o all_o temptation_n in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n and_o heaviness_n as_o we_o see_v this_o man_n remedy_n by_o y_o e_o spirit_n of_o god_n rise_v from_o record_v meditate_v and_o speak_v of_o god_n word_n and_o work_n here_o have_v this_o prophet_n marvellous_o open_v how_o a_o man_n in_o trouble_n come_v to_o consolation_n and_o comfort_n first_o that_o the_o spirit_n and_o heart_n of_o man_n must_v have_v such_o strong_a faith_n as_o may_v credit_n god_n power_n and_o also_o his_o good_a will_n and_o believe_v that_o god_n both_o can_v and_o will_v for_o his_o truths_n sake_n

so_o do_v david_n when_o the_o prophet_n nathan_n have_v make_v he_o afraid_a for_o the_o murder_n of_o urias_n and_o the_o adultery_n with_o bersaba_n his_o conscience_n be_v in_o great_a anguish_n

he_o such_o a_o steadfast_a and_o burn_a faith_n that_o in_o christ_n his_o sinful_a heart_n may_v be_v purge_v and_o secondary_o he_o pray_v to_o have_v so_o right_a and_o sure_o a_o spirit_n that_o

without_o impatience_n or_o grudge_n against_o god_n and_o where_o as_o this_o knowledge_n and_o feel_v of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n be_v in_o the_o spirit_n there_o follow_v record_v and_o

here_o be_v a_o consolation_n much_o worthy_a to_o be_v learned_a and_o receive_v of_o all_o trouble_a man_n and_o it_o be_v this_o to_o understande_v and_o perceive_v consolation_n that_o all_o the_o

wish_v his_o sin_n lay_v in_o one_o balance_n 6._o and_o his_o punishment_n in_o another_o balance_n as_o though_o god_n punish_v more_o extreme_o then_o just_o the_o same_o it_o seem_v king_n david_n also_o feel_v when_o he_o say_v 13._o how_o long_a lord_n will_v thou_o forget_v i_o for_o ever_o with_o like_o bitter_a speech_n in_o the_o scripture_n complain_v of_o god_n justice_n judgement_n

then_o just_a in_o his_o punishment_n passur_n to_o afflict_v he_o in_o adversity_n and_o to_o suffer_v passur_n the_o high_a priest_n and_o his_o enemy_n to_o be_v in_o quiet_a and_o tranquillity_n this_o prophet_n asaph_n be_v before_o in_o great_a trouble_n as_o you_o hear_v and_o especial_o of_o the_o mind_n that_o self_n not_o a_o sure_a trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o god_n mercy_n and_o
