here_o give_v we_o be_v very_o necessary_a to_o wit_n that_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v true_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v o_o lord_n i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o thou_o be_v near_o unto_o we_o for_o as_o much_o as_o thou_o see_v we_o to_o be_v persecute_v and_o trouble_v by_o the_o wicked_a and_o how_o they_o come_v upon_o we_o to_o destroy_v we_o and_o that_o thou_o be_v right_a before_o they_o and_o against_o they_o to_o beat_v they_o back_o and_o to_o bear_v their_o blow_n all_o this_o do_v i_o confess_v o_o lord_n but_o yet_o i_o you_o not_o this_o after_o a_o visible_a &_o worldly_a manner_n how_o then_o it_o be_v because_o thy_o commandment_n be_v true_a david_n then_o know_v that_o god_n be_v near_o unto_o he_o because_o he_o settle_v himself_o upon_o the_o law_n and_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v give_v he_o and_o even_o so_o must_v we_o do_v although_o it_o seem_v very_o hard_a as_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v it_o follow_v i_o have_v know_v long_o since_o by_o testimony_n that_o thou_o have_v ground_v they_o for_o ever_o in_o this_o latter_a verse_n for_o a_o conclusion_n david_n say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o like_o a_o novice_n to_o be_v now_o too_o learn_v to_o know_v what_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v but_o he_o be_v resolute_a that_o god_n be_v near_o he_o because_o he_o have_v his_o word_n from_o which_o he_o can_v not_o start_v he_o show_v then_o that_o the_o faithful_a ought_v not_o too_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o their_o a._n b._n c._n but_o must_v be_v long_a time_n exercise_v as_o david_n protest_v of_o himself_o i_o have_v know_v they_o say_v he_o long_o since_o now_o here_o he_o set_v down_o a_o word_n which_o signify_v continuance_n from_o the_o beginning_n have_v i_o know_v say_v he_o long_o since_o thy_o commandment_n which_o thou_o haste_v ground_v for_o ever_o so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o if_o we_o will_v bold_o strive_v against_o all_o the_o assault_n wherewith_o we_o may_v be_v assail_v we_o must_v continue_v in_o this_o knowledge_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o we_o shall_v always_o find_v he_o ready_a to_o be_v near-hand_o we_o so_o that_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o his_o protection_n not_o for_o a_o day_n only_o but_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n and_o so_o let_v we_o thorough_o record_n this_o lesson_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v say_v with_o david_n that_o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o god_n so_o deep_o imprint_v in_o our_o heart_n as_o that_o we_o have_v long_o time_n since_o know_v what_o be_v already_o in_o they_o too_o wit_n that_o god_n have_v establish_v they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o although_o we_o shall_v see_v a_o great_a number_n of_o change_n in_o this_o world_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v change_v and_o turn_v yet_o that_o god_n be_v no_o chaungeling_n that_o he_o never_o alter_v his_o mind_n that_o his_o word_n be_v as_o it_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n and_o as_o it_o shall_v continue_v for_o ever_o that_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v subject_a to_o all_o the_o turn_n and_o change_n of_o this_o world_n but_o shall_v ever_o abide_v in_o his_o full_a strength_n and_o virtue_n because_o that_o god_n have_v establish_v it_o for_o ever_o and_o this_o be_v even_o so_o as_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v prepapare_v to_o call_v upon_o god_n to_o wit_n when_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v settle_v upon_o the_o true_a confidence_n of_o his_o promise_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v know_v the_o everlasting_a power_n &_o strength_n which_o he_o have_v give_v to_o his_o word_n that_o be_v that_o he_o will_v remain_v always_o like_a unto_o himself_o when_o i_o say_v we_o shall_v have_v know_v this_o we_o may_v bold_o come_v and_o present_v ourselves_o before_o he_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o will_v make_v we_o feel_v by_o proof_n that_o which_o he_o promise_v we_o so_o oftentimes_o as_o we_o shall_v have_v recourse_n unto_o he_o trust_v herein_o that_o he_o have_v render_v unto_o we_o a_o testimony_n of_o the_o love_n which_o he_o bear_v us._n now_o let_v we_o prostrate_v ourselves_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n and_o father_n in_o acknowledge_v our_o innumerable_a offence_n which_o we_o daily_o commit_v against_o he_o beseech_v he_o that_o he_o will_v so_o touch_v we_o as_o that_o in_o steed_n that_o we_o have_v be_v over_o much_o give_v to_o our_o fleshly_a affection_n and_o vanity_n of_o this_o world_n that_o now_o we_o seek_v none_o other_o way_n but_o whole_o too_o order_v ourselves_o according_a to_o his_o good_a will_n be_v assure_v that_o although_o we_o be_v

thy_o law_n plead_v my_o cause_n and_o deliver_v i_o quicken_v i_o according_a unto_o thy_o word_n salvation_n be_v far_o from_o the_o ungodly_a because_o they_o seek_v not_o thy_o statute_n great_a be_v thy_o tender_a mercy_n o_o lord_n quicken_v i_o according_a to_o thy_o judgement_n many_o there_o be_v that_o trouble_v i_o and_o persecute_v i_o yet_o do_v i_o not_o swerve_v from_o thy_o testimony_n it_o greeve_v i_o when_o i_o see_v the_o transgressor_n be_v cause_v they_o keep_v not_o thy_o law_n consider_v o_o lord_n how_o i_o love_v thy_o commandment_n quicken_v i_o according_a unto_o thy_o love_a kindness_n thy_o word_n be_v true_a from_o everlasting_a &_o all_o the_o judgement_n of_o thy_o righteousness_n inudre_fw-la for_o evermore_o if_o we_o may_v have_v whatsoever_o we_o will_v desire_v &_o wish_v in_o very_a deed_n we_o shall_v be_v the_o better_a at_o ease_n and_o without_o any_o grief_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o man_n natural_o desire_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o god_n will_v exercise_v we_o with_o diverse_a affliction_n so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n wherefore_o such_o be_v the_o condition_n and_o state_n of_o christian_n so_o long_o as_o they_o shall_v live_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v they_o must_v strive_v &_o be_v exercise_v with_o diverse_a sort_n of_o grieve_v sometime_o of_o the_o body_n and_o otherwhiles_o of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o for_o this_o cause_n must_v we_o arm_v ourselves_o to_o the_o end_n we_o be_v not_o overcome_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o conflict_n now_o the_o principal_a piece_n of_o our_o armour_n be_v to_o pray_v un-god_n and_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o to_o help_v us._n and_o to_o bring_v this_o about_o we_o be_v thorough_o to_o consider_v how_o all_o the_o faithful_a which_o live_v long_o before_o our_o time_n proceed_v herein_o too_o the_o end_n we_o may_v order_v ourselves_o after_o their_o example_n as_o in_o this_o text_n here_o we_o see_v how_o david_n be_v even_o extreme_o afflict_v again_o we_o see_v also_o how_o he_o behave_v himself_o in_o all_o his_o affliction_n which_o although_o they_o be_v very_o vehement_a yet_o do_v they_o not_o hinder_v he_o too_o have_v recourse_n untoo_o god_n and_o of_o he_o he_o be_v rescue_v and_o save_v see_v then_o what_o we_o have_v to_o meditate_v upon_o too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v do_v the_o like_a behold_v my_o affliction_n and_o deliver_v i_o for_o i_o do_v not_o forget_v thy_o law_n when_o as_o he_o desire_v god_n to_o look_v unto_o his_o affliction_n it_o be_v even_o the_o same_o which_o we_o have_v already_o say_v too_o wit_n that_o although_o god_n love_v he_o yet_o will_v he_o not_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v subject_a too_o a_o great_a number_n of_o misery_n torment_n and_o grief_n let_v we_o not_o think_v then_o to_o be_v privilege_v so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v to_o walk_v here_o bilowe_a on_o the_o earth_n but_o that_o god_n will_v exercise_v we_o and_o assay_v and_o prove_v our_o patience_n as_o he_o have_v prove_v david_n

such_o time_n as_o he_o deliver_v we_o when_o we_o have_v all_o this_o we_o may_v then_o say_v with_o david_n that_o we_o have_v display_v and_o lay_v wide_o open_v our_o life_n to_o serve_v god_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v a_o good_a and_o sure_a proof_n thereof_o but_o if_o we_o have_v not_o this_o constancy_n a_o great_a number_n may_v make_v a_o wonderful_a show_n of_o godliness_n before_o the_o face_n of_o the_o world_n but_o all_o that_o shall_v prove_v nothing_o and_o so_o let_v we_o well_o consider_v of_o this_o place_n for_o david_n speak_v not_o this_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o our_o common_a instruction_n and_o beside_o if_o we_o will_v in_o deed_n profit_v ourselves_o by_o this_o doctrine_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o if_o we_o sometime_o see_v the_o apparent_a danger_n of_o death_n so_o that_o we_o be_v press_v down_o on_o every_o side_n not_o to_o think_v it_o to_o be_v any_o strange_a thing_n and_o why_o so_o because_o the_o same_o come_v too_o pass_v as_o great_o sometime_o to_o david_n for_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o without_o continual_a trouble_n my_o soul_n say_v he_o be_v always_o in_o my_o hand_n my_o life_n be_v as_o it_o be_v i_o can_v not_o tell_v where_o it_o be_v put_v forth_o to_o abide_v all_o mischief_n that_o it_o seem_v i_o be_v at_o death_n door_n every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n if_o david_n be_v always_o thus_o trouble_v and_o yet_o persevere_v in_o the_o praise_v of_o god_n i_o beseech_v you_o ought_v not_o we_o to_o be_v ashamed_a to_o be_v faint_a heart_a when_o as_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o exercise_v we_o only_o but_o now_o and_o then_o even_o so_o although_o affliction_n oppress_v we_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o cease_v too_o fight_v against_o they_o attend_v and_o crave_v the_o help_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o and_o beside_o when_o we_o be_v thus_o assure_v let_v we_o seek_v our_o comfort_n where_o it_o may_v he_o find_v that_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v thus_o constant_a never_o to_o forget_v the_o law_n of_o god_n let_v we_o they_o consider_v and_o observe_v this_o doctrine_n for_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o david_n say_v that_o although_o my_o soul_n be_v in_o my_o hand_n yet_o have_v i_o not_o forget_v thy_o law_n he_o show_v we_o hereby_o that_o as_o we_o be_v weak_a so_o we_o shall_v be_v soon_o shake_v and_o in_o the_o end_n throw_v down_o when_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v ourselves_o lay_v wide_o open_a to_o death_n we_o then_o have_v this_o understanding_n ought_v to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n to_o the_o end_n the_o devil_n may_v never_o beguile_v we_o under_o the_o colour_n that_o god_n have_v as_o it_o be_v forsake_v we_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n moreover_o we_o see_v what_o doltishnesse_n or_o rather_o beastliness_n this_o be_v among_o the_o papist_n to_o take_v this_o place_n for_o proof_n of_o freewill_n my_o soul_n be_v in_o my_o hand_n to_o wit_n i_o be_o able_a of_o my_o own_o nature_n and_o of_o my_o own_o proper_a strength_n to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_n and_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o i_o think_v best_a if_o brute_n beast_n can_v speak_v they_o will_v speak_v a_o little_a wise_o than_o thus_o for_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v david_n say_v although_o o_o lord_n that_o my_o soul_n be_v in_o my_o hand_n yet_o have_v i_o not_o forget_v thy_o law_n he_o shall_v altogether_o speak_v clean_o against_o nature_n but_o as_o we_o have_v already_o declare_v this_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o speech_n much_o use_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o say_v that_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o wind_n or_o i_o know_v not_o where_o let_v we_o now_o come_v unto_o the_o protestation_n which_o he_o add_v the_o ungodly_a have_v lay_v a_o snare_n for_o i_o but_o yet_o i_o swerve_v not_o from_o thy_o commandment_n this_o sentence_n be_v like_a unto_o the_o other_o which_o we_o be_v about_o to_o handle_v for_o he_o show_v how_o his_o life_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n too_o wit_n that_o over_o and_o beside_o the_o affliction_n which_o be_v direct_o send_v he_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n that_o the_o wicked_a also_o persecute_v he_o aswell_o and_o beside_o the_o violence_n and_o outrage_n that_o be_v do_v untoo_o he_o he_o have_v also_o secret_a ambush_n lay_v for_o he_o see_v then_o how_o diverse_o he_o be_v oppress_v and_o yet_o he_o never_o shrink_v from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o the_o end_n he_o add_v and_o say_v thy_o testimony_n have_v i_o claim_v as_o my_o heritage_n for_o ever_o for_o they_o be_v the_o very_a joy_n of_o my_o hart_n now_o here_o he_o show_v how_o he_o be_v able_a to_o remain_v firm_a &_o constant_a without_o be_v withdraw_v by_o any_o temptation_n but_o that_o he_o always_o stand_v steadfast_o in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o be_v because_o he_o always_o choose_v it_o for_o his_o heritage_n that_o be_v for_o his_o chief_a felicity_n for_o this_o word_n heritage_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v take_v for_o the_o thing_n that_o man_n most_o desire_v and_o that_o which_o most_o proper_o belong_v unto_o he_o to_o be_v short_a it_o be_v such_o a_o similitude_n as_o that_o be_v which_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o treasure_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v call_v it_o the_o sovereign_a good_a the_o true_a and_o perfect_a felicity_n see_v then_o at_o what_o end_n we_o must_v begin_v if_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o death_n we_o will_v abide_v so_o constant_o as_o david_n have_v do_v too_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o be_v i_o say_v to_o choose_v it_o for_o our_o inheritance_n and_o how_o be_v that_o first_o of_o all_o we_o must_v understande_v that_o all_o the_o commodity_n whereuntoo_o we_o be_v overmuch_o give_v be_v transitory_a without_o certainty_n and_o without_o property_n for_o we_o may_v want_v they_o every_o handewhyle_o neither_o can_v we_o enjoy_v any_o thing_n be_v it_o never_o so_o just_o give_v but_o that_o we_o may_v be_v rob_v of_o it_o betwixt_o this_o day_n and_o too_o morrow_n what_o be_v then_o the_o sure_a felicity_n which_o we_o can_v have_v and_o may_v enjoy_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v even_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o we_o ought_v chief_o too_o desire_v and_o wherein_o we_o be_v especial_o too_o rejoice_v lo_o then_o how_o we_o must_v understande_v that_o which_o david_n here_o protest_v that_o he_o have_v choose_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o his_o heritage_n yea_o and_o he_o set_v it_o down_o by_o and_o by_o after_o that_o it_o have_v be_v the_o very_a joy_n of_o his_o heart_n for_o until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o have_v have_v this_o taste_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o we_o true_o joy_n in_o it_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o we_o never_o yet_o have_v any_o good_a affection_n thereto_o at_o all_o although_o we_o have_v know_v that_o our_o chief_a felicity_n lie_v therein_o yet_o be_v we_o not_o able_a well_o too_o keep_v ourselves_o in_o it_o until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o have_v conceive_v that_o it_o be_v that_o wherein_o we_o must_v delight_v and_o in_o none_o other_o thing_n now_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v ever_o take_v any_o delight_n or_o pleasure_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n except_o we_o do_v know_v that_o he_o declare_v himself_o to_o we_o in_o it_o that_o he_o be_v our_o father_n and_o take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n that_o we_o have_v a_o testimony_n that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o that_o we_o may_v have_v access_n unto_o he_o and_o he_o able_a to_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o all_o our_o necessity_n if_o god_n say_v only_o unto_o we_o lo_o what_o it_o be_v that_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o do_v i_o will_v have_v you_o too_o take_v i_o for_o your_o god_n &_o to_o serve_v i_o with_o all_o your_o heart_n if_o we_o have_v but_o these_o two_o table_n to_o look_v into_o to_o know_v what_o we_o have_v to_o do_v shall_v the_o law_n of_o god_n delight_v we_o no_o but_o contrariwise_o it_o shall_v fear_v us._n we_o see_v then_o very_o well_o when_o david_n say_v that_o he_o take_v all_o his_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n in_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v not_o simple_o the_o bare_a word_n of_o the_o law_n to_o say_v that_o god_n command_v he_o that_o which_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o that_o he_o also_o join_v the_o promise_n thereto_o because_o that_o god_n will_v his_o child_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o promise_v to_o make_v they_o feel_v his_o goodness_n and_o fatherly_a love_n which_o he_o use_v towards_o those_o that_o be_v he_o to_o

not_o from_o the_o love_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n see_v then_o what_o we_o must_v keep_v in_o mind_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o text_n and_o after_o we_o be_v too_o note_v for_o the_o last_o verse_n that_o david_n say_v that_o he_o love_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n say_v not_o that_o he_o do_v it_o by_o half_n as_o we_o many_o time_n do_v but_o i_o say_v he_o have_v love_v thy_o commandment_n above_o all_o thing_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v i_o be_o not_o like_a unto_o those_o o_o lord_n which_o come_v to_o serve_v thou_o by_o half_n but_o in_o all_o and_o through_o all_o i_o love_v whatsoever_o that_o thou_o have_v command_v and_o after_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v also_o do_v for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o we_o to_o divide_v and_o make_v a_o partition_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n neither_o yet_o can_v we_o make_v it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v well_o advise_v to_o obey_v god_n in_o whatsoever_o he_o shall_v command_v we_o and_o to_o love_v his_o commandment_n from_o the_o first_o too_o the_o last_o and_o not_o to_o do_v as_o a_o great_a many_o do_v which_o will_v be_v content_v to_o receive_v the_o gospel_n forsooth_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o will_v serve_v their_o turn_n and_o pleasure_v they_o or_o else_o if_o they_o pass_v over_o this_o or_o that_o and_o think_v themselves_o to_o give_v god_n great_a credit_n when_o as_o they_o shall_v give_v he_o authority_n over_o they_o in_o some_o one_o point_n but_o if_o soon_o after_o they_o shall_v be_v any_o thing_n grieve_v they_o will_v never_o overslip_v that_o point_n nevertheless_o we_o be_v there_o admonish_v too_o the_o contrary_a that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v to_o make_v a_o partition_n of_o that_o which_o god_n have_v conjoin_v but_o we_o must_v yield_v our_o obedience_n untoo_o he_o even_o to_o the_o full_a that_o although_o whatsoever_o he_o say_v or_o command_v we_o to_o do_v be_v hard_a and_o sharp_a too_o our_o nature_n yet_o let_v we_o take_v it_o in_o good_a part_n with_o a_o gentle_a and_o mild_a mind_n and_o say_v with_o david_n o_o lord_n i_o have_v love_v thy_o commandment_n which_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o not_o in_o one_o two_o nor_o three_o point_n but_o in_o all_o and_o through_o al._n according_a to_o this_o holy_a doctrine_n let_v we_o humble_o prostrate_v ourselves_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o our_o good_a god_n in_o acknowledge_v our_o offence_n beseech_v he_o that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o make_v we_o better_a to_o feel_v our_o misery_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v grieve_v with_o they_o and_o to_o seek_v for_o remedy_n at_o his_o hand_n that_o in_o renounce_v whatsoever_o that_o be_v in_o we_o and_o whatsoever_o power_n and_o strength_n we_o think_v ourselves_o to_o have_v let_v we_o beseech_v he_o to_o fortify_v we_o and_o so_o to_o inlighten_v we_o with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o that_o we_o may_v more_o and_o more_o draw_v near_o unto_o he_o and_o as_o he_o have_v already_o begin_v to_o inlighten_v we_o that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o too_o cause_v we_o to_o see_v his_o

we_o beseech_v he_o that_o he_o will_v always_o uphold_v we_o with_o a_o mighty_a and_o strong_a hand_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v stand_v steadfast_o in_o that_o whereunto_o he_o have_v call_v we_o
