this_o doctrine_n we_o learn_v two_o thing_n sin_n the_o one_o that_o god_n hate_v not_o the_o trouble_a man_n for_o his_o trouble_n but_o for_o his_o sin_n man_n do_v clean_o contrary_a for_o the_o

and_o in_o quietness_n continue_v joy_n for_o ever_o to_o he_o therefore_o be_v all_o laud_n and_o praise_v world_n without_o end_n amen_n the_o four_o thing_n to_o be_v note_v in_o this_o second_o part_n prayer_n be_v the_o continuance_n of_o the_o faithful_a afflict_a in_o prayer_n unto_o god_n for_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o he_o lift_v up_o his_o hand_n all_o night_n and_o wax_v not_o weary_a of_o this_o continuance_n in_o prayer_n we_o learn_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o perseverance_n in_o prayer_n and_o the_o other_o patient_a expectation_n and_o willing_a sufferance_n until_o god_n send_v redress_n and_o ease_n to_o the_o first_o the_o scripture_n exhort_v we_o that_o we_o pray_v both_o hearty_o and_o continual_o unto_o god_n not_o because_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o our_o trouble_n but_o because_o we_o shall_v thorough_o be_v bring_v to_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v none_o can_v help_v we_o out_o of_o trouble_n but_o he_o and_o also_o that_o by_o continuance_n in_o prayer_n we_o may_v the_o better_o know_v and_o more_o earnest_o repent_v our_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o trouble_n three_o that_o by_o often_o remembrance_n and_o diverse_a rehearsal_n of_o our_o iniquity_n unto_o god_n we_o may_v the_o soon_o bring_v both_o our_o soul_n and_o body_n into_o the_o service_n and_o homage_n of_o almighty_a god_n who_o we_o have_v by_o sin_n most_o gréevous_o displease_v the_o second_o virtue_n patient_a expectation_n in_o trouble_n expectation_n declare_v that_o we_o be_v much_o bind_v unto_o god_n that_o chasten_v we_o in_o this_o life_n and_o defer_v not_o our_o punishment_n to_o the_o eternal_a pain_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v also_o it_o make_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n to_o understand_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o also_o the_o foolishness_n of_o man_n that_o many_o time_n for_o lack_n of_o patient_a expectation_n and_o thankful_a sufferance_n wax_v weary_a of_o his_o cross_n and_o punishment_n and_o also_o murmure_v against_o god_n because_o he_o help_v not_o when_o man_n wisdom_n judge_v most_o meet_a to_o be_v holpen_v but_o patient_a expectation_n prescribe_v god_n no_o time_n when_o to_o help_v nor_o yet_o mean_n how_o to_o help_v but_o say_v 8_o thy_o will_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n
occasion_n of_o this_o help_n be_v not_o man_n merit_n but_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n y_o it_o be_v to_o say_v god_n power_n incline_v to_o save_v man_n by_o mercy_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v certain_a thing_n to_o be_v mark_v of_o every_o reader_n &_o hearer_n of_o this_o psalm_n first_o in_o this_o verse_n be_v declare_v how_o man_n take_v consolation_n in_o time_n of_o his_o trouble_n which_o be_v y_fw-fr e_o 4._o part_n of_o the_o psalm_n &_o in_o the_o same_o part_n the_o psalm_n end_v he_o say_v it_o be_v his_o infirmity_n that_o make_v he_o to_o question_n &_o demand_v in_o his_o spirit_n so_o doubtful_a thing_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o promise_n whereof_o we_o learn_v that_o consolation_n begin_v where_o sorrow_n and_o heaviness_n be_v first_o feel_v for_o the_o spirit_n can_v take_v no_o solace_n by_o god_n promise_n until_o such_o time_n as_o it_o feel_v by_o god_n law_n how_o sinful_a it_o be_v for_o the_o transgression_n thereof_o 18._o therefore_o solomon_n say_v the_o just_a man_n be_v the_o first_o accuser_n of_o himself_o and_o so_o do_v the_o prophet_n asaph_n in_o this_o place_n confess_v that_o these_o cogitation_n and_o profound_a thought_n against_o god_n come_v of_o his_o own_o infirmity_n and_o sin_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o man_n own_o wickedness_n from_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o heart_n although_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n to_o speak_v or_o remember_v the_o vileness_n of_o sin_n wherewith_o sinner_n have_v most_o gréevous_o transgress_v god_n commandment_n yet_o be_v this_o knowledge_n and_o confession_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n very_o necessary_a and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o induction_n to_o the_o remission_n thereof_o thereof_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o this_o prophet_n and_o in_o the_o prophet_n david_n for_o here_o be_v first_o confess_v that_o all_o sin_n in_o he_o come_v of_o his_o own_o infirmity_n and_o all_o consolation_n against_o sin_n come_v of_o god_n right_a hand_n and_o the_o prophet_n david_n say_v when_o he_o be_v in_o like_a trouble_n for_o sin_n 32._o i_o determine_v say_v he_o to_o confess_v against_o myself_o my_o own_o iniquity_n and_o thou_o lord_n forgave_v the_o wickedness_n of_o my_o sin_n but_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v in_o this_o that_o the_o confession_n of_o sin_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o induction_n and_o beginning_n of_o

and_o a_o induction_n to_o desperation_n to_o feel_v sin_n to_o bewail_v sin_n to_o speak_v of_o sin_n and_o to_o remember_v sin_n but_o whereas_o knowledge_n and_o confession_n have_v a_o certainty_n and_o assurance_n of_o god_n forgiveness_n annex_v unto_o it_o there_o be_v confession_n and_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n partly_o a_o beginning_n of_o consolation_n against_o sin_n 7._o i_o call_v it_o partly_o or_o as_o a_o occasion_n because_o first_o of_o all_o 15._o god_n by_o his_o word_n or_o by_o his_o punishment_n 12_o through_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n open_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o sinner_n to_o see_v and_o know_v his_o sin_n also_o to_o tremble_v and_o quake_v at_o sin_n rather_o than_o to_o hate_v and_o abhor_v sin_n and_o from_o these_o principle_n and_o original_n come_v the_o humble_a and_o lowly_a confession_n of_o sin_n not_o to_o man_n but_o unto_o god_n except_o it_o be_v such_o a_o open_a sin_n do_v against_o man_n as_o man_n know_v of_o that_o the_o
