make_v their_o cause_n thy_o own_o therefore_o maintain_v it_o as_o thou_o do_v thy_o own_o now_o this_o god_n be_v never_o want_v to_o do_v nor_o never_o will_v be_v so_o far_o as_o justice_n and_o

nor_o with_o such_o a_o one_o as_o will_v make_v enemy_n confess_v that_o god_n maintenance_n be_v on_o our_o part_n ibid._n and_o therefore_o as_o ruffinus_n think_v these_o word_n be_v not_o only_o a_o prayer_n that_o god_n will_v arise_v and_o maintain_v his_o cause_n but_o that_o he_o will_v so_o plead_v it_o that_o he_o will_v make_v the_o justice_n and_o right_n of_o it_o appear_v to_o enemy_n and_o opposer_n and_o the_o maintenance_n evident_a to_o friend_n and_o defender_n of_o it_o so_o maintain_v thy_o cause_n be_v as_o much_o in_o effect_n as_o make_v the_o world_n know_v it_o be_v thou_o and_o thou_o will_v maintain_v it_o that_o from_o god_n maintenance_n the_o cause_n may_v have_v lafety_n and_o from_o our_o hope_n of_o maintenance_n we_o may_v receive_v comfort_n why_o but_o why_o shall_v god_n plead_v judge_n and_o maintain_v his_o own_o cause_n be_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o prophet_n just_a yes_o no_o question_n for_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n be_v ever_o just_a and_o therefore_o ought_v ever_o to_o be_v maintain_v nor_o be_v it_o any_o partiality_n in_o god_n to_o his_o own_o cause_n that_o he_o come_v to_o judge_v it_o but_o he_o be_v force_v
as_o it_o be_v to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o it_o himself_o partly_o because_o some_o man_n will_v not_o and_o some_o man_n can_v defend_v his_o cause_n and_o partly_o because_o it_o must_v be_v judge_v at_o some_o tribunal_n now_o there_o lie_v many_o appeal_n in_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n and_o all_o appeal_n be_v to_o a_o superior_a court_n the_o high_a be_v go_n therefore_o when_o malice_n and_o tyranny_n have_v do_v what_o it_o can_v to_o god_n cause_n if_o his_o servant_n do_v but_o appeal_v as_o they_o ever_o do_v the_o cause_n must_v in_o the_o end_n revolve_v to_o god_n himself_o who_o alone_o have_v no_o superior_a yet_o his_o very_a enemy_n need_v not_o fear_v for_o he_o will_v so_o plead_v and_o judge_v his_o own_o cause_n that_o their_o own_o conscience_n shall_v
