set_v forth_o his_o glory_n the_o more_o we_o take_v our_o ease_n and_o set_v out_o ourselves_o to_o the_o world_n and_o grow_v more_o proud_a and_o be_v less_o careful_a to_o glorify_v god_n as_o most_o common_o it_o fall_v out_o then_o we_o provoke_v god_n to_o take_v they_o away_o or_o to_o punish_v we_o in_o they_o therefore_o let_v every_o one_o consider_v what_o good_a he_o do_v with_o all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o how_o by_o god_n blessing_n as_o wealth_n and_o such_o like_a not_o his_o own_o name_n be_v advance_v but_o what_o good_a he_o have_v do_v since_o for_o the_o service_n

for_o it_o so_o more_o particular_o they_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v rejoice_v in_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o king_n rejoice_v they_o pray_v for_o this_o benefit_n that_o they_o may_v rejoice_v

with_o a_o good_a conscience_n go_v unto_o god_n in_o their_o prayer_n and_o seek_v redress_n say_v that_o he_o have_v send_v they_o to_o do_v that_o they_o do_v and_o therefore_o desire_v the_o

and_o defend_v they_o in_o their_o call_n as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o in_o this_o psalm_n i_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v help_v his_o anointed_n and_o as_o he_o then_o give_v this_o answer_n unto_o moses_n that_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o he_o have_v not_o call_v he_o to_o that_o office_n in_o vain_a but_o will_v defend_v he_o in_o it_o 6.1_o exod._n 6.1_o and_o give_v good_a success_n unto_o his_o labour_n for_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n it_o be_v thus_o write_v the_o lord_n say_v unto_o moses_n now_o thou_o shall_v see_v what_o i_o will_v do_v unto_o pharaoh_n for_o by_o a_o

that_o he_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v willing_a to_o let_v they_o go_v though_o he_o obstinate_o refuse_v it_o but_o shall_v by_o force_n drive_v they_o out_o as_o indeed_o afterwards_o he_o do_v as_o appear_v in_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o story_n 12.33_o exod._n 12.33_o and_o this_o assurance_n of_o our_o call_n must_v not_o only_o a_o little_a comfort_n we_o at_o the_o first_o but_o in_o the_o
