to_o marah_n they_o can_v not_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n of_o marah_n for_o they_o be_v bitter_a therefore_o the_o name_n of_o it_o be_v call_v marah_n and_o the_o people_n murmur_v against_o

a_o believer_n come_v to_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v much_o according_a to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o mercy_n that_o be_v afterward_o if_o the_o life_n be_v great_a the_o death_n be_v great_a if_o the_o life_n be_v small_a the_o death_n be_v small_a and_o sometime_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n fall_v most_o upon_o the_o apprehension_n as_o it_o be_v with_o hagar_n she_o be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n

thou_o now_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o seven_o chapter_n you_o find_v that_o joshua_n have_v rend_v his_o clothes_n in_o the_o sixth_o verse_n and_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n upon_o his_o face_n before_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o lord_n until_o eventide_n and_o joshua_n say_v alas_o o_o lord_n god_n wherefore_o have_v thou_o at_o all_o bring_v this_o people_n over_o jordan_n to_o deliver_v we_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o amorites_n to_o destroy_v we_o will_v to_o god_n we_o have_v be_v content_a and_o dwell_v on_o the_o other_o side_n jordan_n why_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n you_o

cause_n of_o such_o expression_n as_o do_v fall_v from_o joshua_n a_o sentence_n of_o death_n pass_v upon_o the_o mercy_n but_o it_o lie_v most_o upon_o the_o apprehension_n of_o joshua_n sometime_o it_o fall_v more_o upon_o the_o apprehension_n and_o less_o upon_o the_o thing_n sometime_o it_o fall_v more_o upon_o the_o thing_n and_o less_o upon_o the_o apprehension_n but_o always_o more_o or_o less_o when_o god_n intend_v any_o great_a or_o special_a mercy_n to_o his_o people_n to_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n he_o do_v first_o cause_n the_o sentence_n of_o death_n to_o pass_v upon_o it_o and_o upon_o all_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o you_o will_v say_v then_o quest_n why_o do_v god_n give_v the_o promise_n i_o confess_v this_o be_v true_a i_o seldom_o have_v any_o great_a mercy_n in_o all_o my_o day_n but_o first_o of_o all_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n come_v upon_o it_o but_o one_o thing_n seem_v very_o strange_a to_o i_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v out_o a_o promise_n first_o a_o promise_n give_v out_o and_o then_o come_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o the_o mercy_n and_o upon_o the_o mean_n that_o do_v lead_v unto_o it_o what_o shall_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o why_o do_v the_o lord_n deal_v thus_o give_v out_o a_o promise_n first_o a_o promise_n be_v give_v out_o twice_o at_o the_o first_o answ_n 1_o before_o we_o do_v use_v the_o mean_n to_o encourage_v we_o thereunto_o afterward_o upon_o some_o encouragement_n that_o we_o do_v meet_v with_o in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n when_o the_o lord_n do_v first_o give_v out_o the_o promise_n a_o sentence_n of_o death_n than_o pass_v that_o he_o may_v show_v you_o where_o the_o mercy_n lie_v as_o the_o mother_n do_v deal_v by_o her_o child_n show_v the_o child_n where_o the_o meat_n stand_v child_n thou_o be_v not_o yet_o fit_a for_o it_o thou_o shall_v have_v it_o in_o due_a time_n look_v here_o it_o stand_v or_o as_o a_o father_n that_o show_v the_o child_n where_o the_o money_n lie_v child_n time_n be_v not_o yet_o but_o there_o the_o money_n lie_v there_o be_v the_o bag_n it_o be_v in_o none_o shall_v take_v it_o from_o thou_o so_o do_v god_n do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o mercy_n lie_v in_o the_o second_o cause_n no_o say_v god_n here_o here_o be_v the_o bag_n that_o it_o lie_v in_o therefore_o he_o do_v first_o give_v out_o the_o promise_n that_o he_o may_v tell_v the_o soul_n where_o the_o mercy_n lie_v show_v the_o soul_n where_o it_o be_v and_o then_o again_o answ_n 2_o god_n do_v therefore_o give_v out_o the_o promise_n notwithstanding_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n because_o he_o intend_v not_o to_o give_v the_o mercy_n present_o you_o think_v it_o may_v be_v that_o assoon_o as_o you_o have_v a_o promise_v set_v on_o upon_o your_o heart_n you_o shall_v present_o enjoy_v the_o mercy_n nay_o but_o god_n do_v therefore_o give_v you_o a_o promise_n because_o you_o shall_v not_o have_v it_o present_o as_o for_o example_n if_o i_o will_v pay_v a_o man_n my_o money_n down_o present_o i_o will_v not_o give_v he_o a_o bond_n but_o my_o very_a give_v he_o a_o bond_n argue_v i_o be_o not_o to_o pay_v he_o present_o so_o the_o lord_n he_o give_v out_o a_o promise_n and_o you_o think_v now_o you_o must_v have_v it_o present_o no_o say_v the_o lord_n but_o because_o a_o sentence_n of_o death_n be_v to_o come_v and_o thou_o shall_v not_o have_v it_o present_o therefore_o i_o give_v out_o the_o promise_n and_o again_o three_o answ_n 3_o god_n do_v therefore_o give_v out_o the_o promise_n notwithstanding_o his_o sentence_n of_o death_n that_o your_o heart_n may_v be_v bear_v up_o against_o all_o discouragement_n when_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o second_o cause_n shall_v be_v dead_a god_n see_v that_o his_o child_n or_o servant_n be_v go_v to_o a_o great_a storm_n there_o be_v such_o a_o child_n of_o i_o say_v god_n he_o be_v go_v into_o a_o great_a storm_n and_o his_o faith_n will_v be_v put_v to_o a_o great_a stress_n therefore_o i_o will_v furnish_v he_o with_o cable_n and_o good_a anchor_n i_o will_v throw_v he_o out_o a_o promise_n you_o think_v because_o god_n give_v you_o a_o promise_n because_o god_n give_v you_o cable_n because_o god_n give_v you_o anchor_v therefore_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o land_n present_o the_o lord_n do_v therefore_o give_v you_o a_o promise_n because_o he_o do_v see_v that_o a_o storm_n be_v come_v you_o mistake_v the_o way_n of_o god_n in_o his_o promise_n this_o be_v god_n way_n he_o give_v out_o a_o promise_n and_o then_o cause_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n to_o pass_v upon_o the_o
