but_o after_o in_o vers_fw-la 10._o when_o the_o lord_n have_v help_v he_o that_o he_o grow_v mighty_a then_o say_v the_o text_n his_o heart_n be_v lift_v up_o to_o destruction_n that_o even_o as_o

whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n you_o see_v all_o holy_a and_o good_a king_n that_o live_v the_o life_n of_o grace_n constant_o they_o shine_v in_o the_o dark_a world_n as_o star_n in_o a_o dark_a

the_o suffering_n of_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n at_o home_n or_o the_o rest_n upon_o ashur_n and_o egypt_n abroad_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o their_o misery_n for_o when_o they_o be_v in_o

observe_v that_o those_o that_o live_v this_o life_n of_o grace_n perfect_o who_o heart_n be_v with_o god_n that_o they_o empty_v out_o all_o the_o old_a leaven_n of_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n at_o home_n and_o in_o all_o their_o distress_n they_o trust_v upon_o god_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o proportionable_o as_o they_o do_v it_o more_o or_o less_o so_o they_o prosper_v as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o asa_n it_o be_v the_o prophet_n own_o speech_n to_o he_o from_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o 2._o chron._n 16._o 7._o 8._o say_v he_o because_o thou_o have_v rely_v on_o the_o king_n of_o

a_o huge_a host_n with_o very_a many_o chariot_n and_o horseman_n yet_o because_o thou_o rely_v upon_o the_o lord_n he_o deliver_v they_o into_o thy_o hand_n asa_n when_o a_o mighty_a company_n come_v against_o he_o of_o lubim●_n and_o aethiopian_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o chap._n before_o as_o the_o sand_n because_o he_o rest_v on_o the_o lord_n he_o give_v he_o the_o victory_n over_o they_o afterward_o a_o small_a army_n escape_v his_o hand_n why_o because_o he_o rest_v upon_o the_o king_n of_o aram._n so_o likewise_o jehosaphat_n when_o he_o come_v back_o from_o help_a achab_n at_o the_o battle_n at_o ramoth_n gilead_n the_o prophet_n jehu_n meet_v he_o in_o 2._o chro._n 19_o 2._o and_o say_v unto_o himthus_fw-la oh_o jehosaphat_n will_v thou_o help_v the_o wicked_a will_v thou_o love_v those_o that_o hate_v the_o lord_n wrath_n be_v go_v out_o against_o thou_o so_o in_o the_o 2._o next_o chap._n ver_fw-la 2._o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o great_a army_n come_v from_o beyond_o the_o sea_n and_o jehosaphat_n be_v sore_o afraid_a and_o likewise_o when_o he_o join_v with_o ahaziah_n to_o make_v ship_n to_o go_v to_o tarshish_n the_o prophet_n eliezer_n go_v to_o he_o and_o tell_v he_o that_o god_n bid_v break_v the_o ship_n at_o ezion_n geber_n because_o he_o have_v join_v with_o ahaziah_n the_o son_n of_o achab_n 2._o chron._n 20._o the_o last_o verse_n i_o may_v give_v you_o many_o example_n i_o must_v not_o go_v beyond_o my_o time_n jacob_n though_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v be_v good_a as_o you_o know_v he_o may_v seek_v the_o blessing_n lawful_o for_o

action_n of_o this_o life_n this_o spiritual_a life_n you_o see_v likewise_o his_o trouble_n be_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v exhort_v to_o live_v this_o life_n of_o grace_n see_v we_o have_v so_o great_a encouragement_n i_o say_v if_o you_o observe_v throughout_o the_o scripture_n and_o above_o all_o other_o place_n from_o the_o 2._o chron._n 11._o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o book_n which_o be_v exceed_v well_o worth_a the_o read_n where_o you_o have_v not_o only_o the_o story_n of_o the_o king_n set_v down_o but_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o accident_n that_o do_v befall_v they_o we_o see_v all_o along_o as_o they_o live_v this_o life_n of_o grace_n as_o they_o do_v the_o action_n of_o this_o life_n that_o be_v as_o they_o keep_v their_o heart_n perfect_a with_o god_n so_o their_o outward_a joy_n and_o prosperity_n be_v according_o and_o the_o interruption_n and_o intermission_n they_o find_v in_o that_o be_v according_a to_o their_o intermission_n in_o this_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v exhort_v to_o live_v this_o life_n for_o certain_o every_o life_n have_v a_o excellency_n have_v a_o sweetness_n in_o it_o more_o than_o any_o mere_a be_v and_o as_o any_o life_n exceed_v another_o so_o it_o have_v it_o more_o as_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n exceed_v the_o life_n of_o a_o beast_n so_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n exceed_v the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v capacious_a of_o great_a joy_n and_o of_o great_a grief_n on_o the_o other_o side_n as_o you_o know_v the_o joy_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a and_o pass_v all_o understanding_n so_o the_o despair_n and_o horror_n of_o conscience_n again_o exceed_v as_o much_o and_o let_v we_o mark_v this_o that_o as_o he_o that_o live_v the_o life_n of_o
