prove_v of_o this_o the_o apostle_n do_v spend_v most_o time_n because_o than_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o believe_v second_o not_o care_v for_o christ_n he_o as_o those_o that_o come_v not_o to_o the_o

and_o that_o a_o little_a sorrow_n will_v do_v a_o little_a humiliation_n but_o the_o three_o which_o we_o must_v have_v before_o we_o can_v be_v save_v to_o be_v willing_a to_o forsake_v all_o to_o

until_o he_o see_v that_o he_o must_v else_o starve_v when_o he_o see_v he_o can_v no_o long_o subsist_v than_o he_o return_v so_o when_o we_o be_v so_o humble_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o we_o see_v

give_v her_o time_n to_o repent_v but_o she_o repent_v not_o three_o creature_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o deliver_v till_o the_o time_n of_o extremity_n that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o vanity_n of_o

do_v it_o and_o of_o that_o you_o must_v make_v no_o doubt_n because_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v good_a his_o promise_n and_o be_v just_a for_o he_o be_v abundant_a in_o truth_n he_o will_v make_v good_a all_o that_o he_o have_v say_v and_o that_o in_o abundance_n now_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v help_v and_o yet_o not_o till_o a_o man_n come_v to_o extremity_n why_o then_o he_o must_v help_v or_o not_o at_o all_o and_o so_o he_o shall_v fail_v they_o that_o trust_v unto_o he_o when_o as_o one_o man_n will_v not_o fail_v another_o that_o trust_v he_o for_o that_o be_v treachery_n so_o to_o

he_o shall_v fail_v thou_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v help_v thou_o at_o the_o last_o cast_v or_o else_o not_o at_o all_o and_o until_o thou_o be_v so_o far_o go_v thou_o be_v not_o come_v unto_o

to_o the_o brow_n of_o the_o hill_n thou_o be_v not_o at_o the_o utmost_a part_n of_o the_o mount_n the_o use_n of_o it_o be_v deliverance_n to_o teach_v we_o not_o to_o make_v too_o much_o haste_n for_o deliverance_n in_o the_o time_n of_o distress_n but_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n yea_o depend_v upon_o his_o providence_n when_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v without_o help_n if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o creature_n yet_o then_o be_v we_o to_o depend_v upon_o the_o lord_n so_o as_o never_o to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o help_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o say_v i_o will_v trust_v in_o he_o though_o he_o kill_v i_o for_o so_o do_v abraham_n here_o he_o be_v to_o kill_v his_o son_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v hope_n so_o let_v we_o though_o there_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o will_v be_v our_o utter_a undo_n if_o it_o shall_v come_v on_o we_o yet_o if_o it_o do_v come_v thou_o ought_v to_o hope_n because_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n manner_n to_o bring_v his_o people_n to_o extremity_n as_o here_o to_o abraham_n and_o the_o like_a he_o do_v to_o peter_n when_o he_o come_v to_o he_o on_o the_o water_n for_o he_o may_v have_v holpen_v he_o before_o he_o begin_v to_o sink_v if_o he_o

the_o lord_n help_v they_o by_o make_v a_o way_n through_o the_o sea_n in_o like_a manner_n he_o do_v to_o jacob_n when_o he_o be_v return_v home_o from_o his_o father_n in_o law_n laban_n he_o

but_o when_o jacob_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o straight_a than_o the_o lord_n turn_v all_o another_o way_n and_o the_o like_a he_o do_v with_o david_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o distress_n he_o let_v he_o alone_o till_o the_o water_n be_v like_a to_o go_v over_o he_o but_o when_o his_o foot_n have_v almost_o slip_v in_o regard_n of_o his_o outward_a and_o inward_a trouble_n for_o he_o be_v at_o the_o very_o go_v down_o to_o the_o grave_n than_o the_o lord_n bring_v his_o foot_n out_o of_o the_o net_n and_o set_v he_o at_o liberty_n and_o take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o water_n that_o he_o be_v not_o drown_v and_o therefore_o still_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o labour_n that_o thy_o faith_n fail_v thou_o not_o whatsoever_o thy_o straits_n be_v for_o that_o be_v peter_n fault_n when_o

we_o shall_v learn_v to_o do_v in_o all_o our_o straits_n still_o to_o believe_v which_o if_o we_o do_v we_o shall_v find_v the_o lord_n very_o exceed_v ready_a to_o help_v beyond_o all_o that_o we_o can_v be_v able_a to_o ask_v or_o think_v see_v this_o in_o a_o example_n or_o two_o how_o the_o lord_n come_v betwixt_o the_o cup_n and_o the_o lip_n as_o it_o be_v betwixt_o the_o very_a lift_v up_o of_o the_o hand_n to_o the_o stroke_n and_o as_o in_o the_o text_n so_o also_o when_o the_o shunamite_n have_v by_o the_o command_n of_o the_o prophet_n leave_v her_o land_n because_o of_o the_o famine_n that_o be_v to_o come_v when_o the_o seven_o year_n be_v do_v for_o she_o trust_v the_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o say_v alas_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v for_o my_o land_n again_o but_o do_v go_v and_o when_o she_o return_v and_o be_v go_v to_o the_o king_n for_o her_o land_n again_o at_o that_o very_a instant_n be_v the_o king_n talk_v with_o elishaes_n servant_n about_o the_o

when_o mordecaye_n destruction_n be_v plot_v by_o haman_n and_o so_o near_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o hope_n of_o help_n on_o any_o side_n yet_o then_o when_o mordecay_n be_v

then_o he_o must_v needs_o call_v for_o a_o book_n and_o then_o that_o above_o all_o other_o book_n that_o shall_v be_v bring_v and_o in_o that_o book_n that_o very_a place_n to_o be_v turn_v to_o
