deut._n 32.36_o the_o lord_n will_v judge_v his_o people_n and_o repent_v himself_o for_o his_o servant_n when_o he_o see_v that_o their_o power_n be_v go_v and_o there_o be_v none_o shut_v up_o or_o leave_v god_n people_n have_v be_v too_o high_a but_o never_o too_o low_a for_o he_o to_o work_v by_o therefore_o the_o low_a and_o fast_o they_o fall_v the_o soon_o we_o shall_v expect_v their_o deliverance_n if_o we_o judge_v as_o people_n that_o understand_v the_o way_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o people_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v stretch_v our_o measure_n line_n over_o the_o path_n of_o the_o almighty_a we_o shall_v afflict_v and_o perplex_v our_o own_o spirit_n dishonour_n and_o provoke_v god_n and_o give_v up_o our_o hope_n upon_o every_o cloud_n that_o arise_v and_o all_o because_o we_o know_v not_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n thus_o i_o have_v show_v you_o that_o distrust_n of_o god_n in_o strait_n be_v a_o conviction_n of_o ignorance_n concern_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o he_o walk_v in_o towards_o we_o i_o may_v add_v also_o it_o be_v a_o demonstration_n of_o our_o ignorance_n touch_v the_o way_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o walk_v in_o towards_o he_o for_o the_o way_n of_o our_o duty_n aswell_o as_o the_o way_n of_o providence_n be_v call_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o scripture_n as_o be_v evident_a if_o we_o consult_v psal_n 18.21_o 2_o cor._n 11.6_o psal_n 108.5_o and_o this_o be_v certain_a he_o ●hat_n be_v not_o mindful_a of_o one_o seldom_o understand_v the_o other_o they_o who_o do_v mistake_v god_n way_n of_o providence_n towards_o they_o common_o fail_v in_o their_o duty_n to_o he_o when_o israel_n do_v misinterpret_v his_o providence_n they_o presen_o talk_v of_o go_v back_o into_o egypt_n and_o those_o hypocrite_n in_o malachi_n when_o they_o see_v that_o thing_n go_v contrary_a to_o their_o expectation_n cry_v out_o mal._n 3.14_o what_o profit_n be_v there_o in_o serve_v the_o lord_n they_o be_v carry_v back_o again_o to_o their_o old_a profaneness_n such_o person_n show_v a_o ignorance_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n in_o three_o particular_n they_o know_v not_o or_o consider_v not_o first_o that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o hold_v on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o difficulty_n or_o darkness_n that_o can_v arise_v this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v unto_o heb._n 12.13_o make_v straight_a step_n to_o your_o foot_n let_v no_o affliction_n or_o trouble_v that_o you_o meet_v withal_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n turn_v you_o out_o of_o the_o way_n or_o make_v your_o path_n crooked_a to_o make_v you_o pick_v and_o choose_v for_o yourselves_o the_o way_n which_o be_v smooth_a and_o safe_a and_o make_v you_o leave_v the_o way_n which_o be_v near_a and_o to_o this_o purpose_n he_o set_v the_o example_n of_o christ_n before_o they_o who_o go_v straight_o on_o in_o his_o way_n though_o the_o cross_n the_o shame_n and_o reproach_n of_o man_n lay_v in_o it_o heb._n 12.2_o if_o thou_o know_v not_o the_o way_n in_o which_o god_n walk_v in_o towards_o thou_o yet_o thou_o know_v the_o way_n in_o which_o thou_o be_v to_o wa●k_v with_o god_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o path_n of_o providence_n visible_a yet_o there_o be_v a_o way_n of_o duty_n be_v sure_o thou_o keep_v close_o to_o this_o and_o step_v not_o out_o of_o god_n way_n to_o avoid_v trouble_n it_o be_v better_a to_o meet_v which_o the_o danger_n in_o our_o duty_n than_o doubt_n about_o it_o if_o now_o thou_o be_v careful_a to_o keep_v close_o to_o god_n reveal_v way_n when_o his_o providential_a w●ys_n be_v dark_a and_o intricate_a he_o w●ll_n set_v a_o ma●k_n of_o honour_n upon_o thou_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o those_o who_o keep_v close_o to_o he_o and_o their_o duty_n when_o it_o be_v dangerous_a mal._n 3.16_o 17._o now_o distrust_n carry_v man_n out_o of_o their_o way_n and_o while_o they_o be_v judge_v of_o providence_n they_o be_v forgetful_a of_o their_o own_o duty_n second_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o hold_v on_o in_o our_o duty_n under_o the_o great_a difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n but_o we_o shall_v continue_v with_o hope_n when_o we_o be_v low_a god_n will_v have_v we_o plough_v in_o hope_n and_o work_v as_o those_o who_o serve_v a_o good_a master_n therefore_o hope_n be_v not_o only_o commend_v as_o the_o privilege_n but_o command_v as_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n people_n lam._n 3.26_o it_o be_v good_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v hope_v and_o quiet_o wait_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o 1_o pet._n 1.13_o the_o apostle_n speak_v after_o this_o manner_n gird_v up_o the_o loin_n of_o your_o mind_n be_v sober_a and_o hope_v to_o the_o end_n now_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o we_o shall_v hope_v for_o in_o the_o trouble_n which_o befall_v the_o church_n first_o of_o all_o we_o shall_v hope_v that_o god_n will_v in_o our_o day_n fulfil_v the_o promise_n which_o he_o have_v make_v for_o the_o restore_a and_o deliver_v of_o his_o church_n god_n will_v have_v we_o not_o only_o bear_v our_o part_n in_o the_o affliction_n which_o befall_v it_o and_o pray_v for_o her_o deliverance_n but_o rejoice_v also_o
