psalm_n 105.3_o not_o only_o let_v the_o heart_n of_o they_o rejoice_v that_o find_v the_o lord_n that_o obtain_v that_o they_o seek_v but_o those_o that_o seek_v the_o lord_n while_o they_o be_v seek_v shall_v rejoice_v in_o seek_v he_o well_o because_o i_o will_v say_v get_v to_o the_o application_n of_o the_o point_n i_o pass_v by_o other_o thing_n and_o will_v only_o take_v away_o that_o great_a objection_n and_o reason_v that_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n against_o this_o point_n you_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o prayer_n of_o god_n people_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a and_o by_o god_n mercy_n now_o and_o then_o we_o have_v find_v some_o comfortable_a hear_n from_o heaven_n but_o ordinary_o we_o find_v it_o otherwise_o how_o many_o prayer_n have_v we_o put_v up_o to_o god_n and_o find_v not_o the_o issue_n we_o pray_v and_o pray_v and_o the_o enemy_n prevail_v though_o now_o and_o then_o god_n give_v we_o help_v now_o for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o all_o unbelieve_a reason_n against_o the_o point_n i_o will_v not_o go_v from_o the_o text_n at_o this_o time_n therefore_o the_o first_o answer_n be_v this_o you_o say_v you_o have_v seek_v god_n and_o have_v not_o what_o you_o will_v have_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a though_o perhaps_o this_o that_o you_o now_o say_v be_v vain_a yet_o it_o make_v not_o the_o text_n void_a remember_v what_o have_v be_v before_o heretofore_o you_o have_v seek_v god_n and_o that_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a remember_v the_o time_n of_o old_a let_v that_o for_o the_o present_a a_o little_a stay_v you_o it_o be_v that_o that_o stay_v the_o psalmist_n he_o begin_v to_o reason_n as_o you_o do_v that_o he_o have_v seek_v god_n in_o vain_a will_v the_o lord_n cast_v off_o for_o ever_o and_o will_v he_o be_v favourable_a no_o more_o be_v his_o mercy_n clean_o go_v for_o ever_o do_v his_o promise_n fail_v for_o evermore_o etc._n etc._n psalm_n 7_o 8._o here_o seem_v to_o be_v as_o much_o unbelief_n as_o be_v in_o your_o reason_n but_o mark_v what_o follow_v v._o 10._o and_o i_o say_v this_o be_v my_o death_n but_o i_o will_v remember_v the_o year_n of_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o most_o high_a o_o it_o be_v my_o sin_n and_o weakness_n that_o i_o shall_v reason_v thus_o i_o consider_v not_o what_o i_o do_v when_o i_o reason_n thus_o but_o i_o will_v remember_v the_o year_n of_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o most_o high_a vers_fw-la 11._o i_o will_v remember_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n sure_o i_o will_v remember_v the_o wonder_n of_o old_a v._o 12._o i_o will_v meditate_v also_o of_o all_o thy_o work_n and_o talk_v of_o thy_o do_n thy_o way_n o_o god_n be_v in_o the_o sanctuary_n who_o be_v so_o great_a a_o god_n as_o our_o god_n thou_o be_v the_o god_n that_o do_v wonder_n thou_o have_v declare_v thy_o strength_n among_o the_o people_n v._o 14._o thou_o have_v with_o thy_o arm_n redeem_v thy_o people_n the_o son_n of_o jacob_n &_o joseph_n v._o 15._o mark_v at_o length_n he_o recover_v himself_o with_o this_o though_o present_a thing_n seem_v to_o go_v hard_a yet_o he_o remember_v what_o god_n have_v do_v so_o do_v thou_o in_o this_o case_n in_o isaiah_n you_o have_v a_o complaint_n of_o unbelieve_a heart_n as_o if_o god_n have_v be_v seek_v in_o vain_a isa_n 40.27_o why_o say_v thou_o o_o jacob_n and_o speak_v o_o israel_n my_o way_n be_v hide_v

your_o heart_n what_o though_o thou_o have_v not_o present_a audience_n for_o the_o thing_n thou_o seek_v yet_o think_v i_o deal_v with_o a_o god_n that_o have_v a_o understanding_n that_o i_o can_v search_v god_n it_o may_v be_v let_v the_o adversary_n prevail_v sometime_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o glory_n god_n may_v get_v by_o it_o i_o can_v conceive_v how_o god_n can_v bring_v his_o own_o

can_v see_v that_o thing_n that_o thou_o think_v will_v make_v against_o his_o name_n may_v make_v for_o it_o therefore_o lay_v thy_o hand_n upon_o thy_o heart_n he_o give_v power_n to_o the_o faint_a and_o to_o they_o that_o have_v no_o might_n god_n stay_v till_o man_n have_v no_o might_n till_o they_o faint_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o sail_v and_o then_o he_o come_v and_o help_v they_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o scripture_n in_o luke_n where_o christ_n say_v god_n will_v avenge_v his_o elect_a that_o cry_v night_n and_o day_n to_o he_o though_o he_o tarry_v he_o will_v avenge_v they_o he_o will_v hear_v their_o prayer_n it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a but_o it_o follow_v upon_o it_o notwithstanding_o when_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v shall_v he_o find_v faith_n on_o earrh_n i_o very_o think_v that_o that_o want_n of_o faith_n have_v reference_n to_o that_o very_a promise_n special_o that_o god_n will_v hear_v his_o elect_a that_o cry_n but_o god_n may_v stay_v so_o long_o as_o that_o the_o very_a time_n when_o god_n shall_v come_v to_o perform_v it_o &_o shall_v intend_v to_o do_v it_o it_o may_v be_v a_o time_n when_o their_o faith_n be_v overcome_v and_o fail_v in_o the_o promise_n that_o they_o begin_v to_o give_v over_o and_o think_v they_o have_v seek_v in_o vain_a and_o usual_o the_o time_n when_o god_n come_v to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n and_o to_o answer_v the_o prayer_n of_o his_o people_n it_o be_v that_o very_a time_n when_o they_o fail_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o sink_v therefore_o that_o may_v be_v another_o argument_n it_o may_v be_v

be_v upon_o believe_v if_o thou_o have_v not_o lay_v the_o weight_n of_o thy_o soul_n on_o the_o promise_n thou_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o say_v that_o god_n have_v not_o make_v his_o word_n good_a it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v not_o faith_n learn_v to_o believe_v the_o word_n and_o then_o thou_o shall_v have_v it_o fulfil_v thou_o will_v have_v it_o make_v good_a and_o then_o thou_o will_v
