the_o whole_a people_n say_v amen_o and_o so_o they_o glorify_v god_n together_o with_o thou_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v his_o people_n together_o together_o in_o one_o and_o to_o give_v he_o thanks_o together_o in_o the_o church_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o great_a praise_n honour_n and_o glory_n may_v redound_v unto_o he_o precious_a in_o the_o etc._n etc._n this_o be_v that_o form_n of_o thanksgiving_n which_o he_o set_v before_o he_o to_o be_v follow_v first_o he_o recommend_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o own_o aswell_o in_o their_o life_n as_o in_o their_o death_n then_o he_o confirm_v this_o providence_n of_o god_n from_o his_o own_o experience_n first_o therefore_o say_v he_o the_o death_n be_v precious_a man_n do_v common_o think_v while_o they_o see_v the_o godly_a afflict_a and_o exercise_v with_o sundry_a calamity_n they_o think_v i_o say_v that_o god_n at_o that_o time_n take_v no_o thought_n of_o they_o whether_o they_o live_v or_o die_v and_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o persecutor_n themselves_o think_v that_o god_n take_v a_o like_a little_a care_n of_o their_o life_n &_o death_n they_o wax_v the_o more_o fierce_a against_o they_o as_o against_o as_o many_o vile_a and_o abject_a slave_n david_n therefore_o oppose_v to_o the_o perverse_a opinion_n of_o man_n in_o this_o place_n this_o excellent_a passage_n precious_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o jehova_n etc._n etc._n whereby_o he_o signify_v first_o that_o god_n many_o time_n permit_v not_o his_o own_o to_o die_v but_o deliver_v they_o very_o oft_o out_o of_o exceed_v great_a danger_n &_o rescu_v they_o as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o the_o very_a jaw_n of_o death_n then_o next_o by_o this_o passage_n he_o signifi_v that_o if_o god_n at_o any_o time_n suffer_v his_o own_o to_o die_v that_o come_v not_o pass_v by_o chance_n or_o fortune_n but_o by_o the_o sure_a purpose_n of_o god_n pilate_n after_o this_o manner_n speak_v unto_o christ_n even_o as_o if_o god_n have_v take_v no_o resolute_a advice_n concern_v his_o life_n or_o death_n know_v thou_o not_o say_v he_o that_o i_o have_v power_n to_o crucify_v thou_o yea_o also_o power_n to_o louse_n thou_o christ_n answer_v he_o thou_o shall_v have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o over_o i_o unless_o it_o be_v give_v thou_o from_o above_o thus_o much_o speak_v christ_n three_o by_o this_o passage_n be_v signify_v that_o the_o croce_fw-la &_o death_n of_o the_o godly_a itself_o howsoever_o it_o be_v vile_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v precious_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o god._n last_o this_o sentence_n admonish_v that_o after_o the_o godly_a be_v already_o dead_a and_o take_v out_o of_o this_o life_n by_o the_o permission_n of_o god_n &_o violence_n of_o the_o ungodly_a together_o god_n suffer_v not_o their_o death_n to_o slip_v out_o of_o his_o remembrance_n at_o any_o time_n for_o see_v that_o be_v most_o true_a that_o he_o have_v all_o the_o tear_n of_o his_o own_o put_v up_o in_o a_o bottle_n as_o it_o be_v and_o in_o register_n how_o many_o they_o be_v how_o much_o more_o will_v he_o have_v the_o whole_a blood_n of_o the_o godly_a yea_o &_o every_o particular_a drop_n also_o of_o their_o blood_n keep_v close_o with_o he_o yea_o sure_o before_o so_o much_o as_o any_o one_o drop_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o godly_a shall_v perish_v he_o will_v command_v the_o earth_n itself_o which_o open_v she_o own_o mouth_n the_o time_n it_o be_v shed_v receive_v it_o and_o drink_v it_o in_o he_o will_v command_v i_o say_v the_o very_a earth_n itself_o to_o keep_v it_o in_o her_o womb_n as_o it_o be_v unto_o that_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n visitation_n wherein_o he_o will_v take_v a_o vengeance_n upon_o all_o they_o whosoever_o have_v persecute_v the_o godly_a in_o this_o life_n after_o these_o four_o divers_a fashion_n therefore_o to_o speak_v it_o it_o summarlie_o the_o death_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n first_o that_o he_o suffer_v not_o his_o own_o oft_o to_o perish_v but_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o exceed_v great_a danger_n then_o if_o he_o permit_v they_o to_o die_v that_o
