not_o whither_o to_o go_v then_o turn_v yourselves_o to_o this_o meditation_n to_o think_v of_o all_o the_o gracious_a passage_n of_o god_n providence_n towards_o you_o ever_o since_o you_o be_v child_n and_o this_o the_o weak_a may_v be_v able_a to_o go_v along_o in_o and_o that_o be_v the_o three_o note_n of_o observation_n four_o all_o god_n old_a mercy_n remain_v engagement_n unto_o

unto_o duty_n remember_v that_o the_o love_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n unto_o you_o when_o you_o be_v child_n be_v engagement_n to_o duty_n when_o you_o be_v old_a and_o they_o be_v aggravation_n of_o

you_o when_o you_o be_v child_n god_n begin_v with_o you_o then_o and_o have_v continue_v his_o love_n and_o mercy_n to_o you_o ever_o since_o then_o oh_o make_v this_o a_o aggravation_n of_o your_o

sink_v in_o despair_a thought_n though_o we_o see_v that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v but_o little_a for_o god_n and_o though_o 5._o we_o be_v unworthy_a of_o love_n though_o there_o be_v much_o vanity_n and_o folly_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o in_o our_o life_n yea_o though_o there_o have_v be_v much_o stubbornness_n yet_o still_o let_v not_o our_o heart_n sink_v in_o despair_a thought_n i_o love_v they_o when_o they_o be_v a_o child_n they_o can_v do_v little_a for_o i_o and_o they_o know_v little_a of_o i_o and_o they_o be_v vain_a and_o foolish_a and_o stubborn_a and_o yet_o i_o love_v they_o certain_o the_o way_n of_o god_n towards_o age_n israel_n be_v as_o a_o type_n of_o his_o way_n towards_o his_o saint_n as_o the_o affliction_n of_o israel_n be_v typical_a to_o the_o church_n and_o we_o gather_v a_o argument_n to_o be_v patient_a in_o affliction_n when_o we_o read_v how_o god_n deal_v with_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o wilderness_n so_o we_o may_v gather_v a_o argument_n to_o help_v our_o faith_n when_o as_o we_o read_v how_o god_n deal_v with_o they_o though_o they_o be_v unworthy_a and_o be_v poor_a and_o weak_a yet_o god_n love_v they_o therefore_o you_o poor_a people_n that_o find_v yourselves_o weak_a in_o understanding_n alas_o you_o know_v little_a and_o can_v remember_v little_a of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o alas_o you_o can_v do_v little_a for_o god_n â—ea_o i_o find_v perhaps_o say_v one_o much_o frowardness_n and_o stubborness_n in_o my_o heart_n against_o god_n but_o do_v you_o bewail_v it_o if_o so_o let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v discourage_v do_v not_o think_v that_o these_o be_v thing_n that_o will_v hinder_v the_o love_n of_o lovely_a god_n god_n heart_n may_v be_v towards_o you_o notwithstanding_o this_o when_o god_n come_v to_o love_v he_o do_v not_o find_v the_o object_n to_o be_v lovely_a before_o he_o love_v but_o his_o love_n make_v the_o object_n to_o be_v lovely_a therefore_o god_n can_v love_v though_o thou_o know_v little_a and_o can_v do_v but_o little_a but_o you_o will_v say_v he_o can_v love_v i_o but_o will_v he_o love_v if_o object_n i_o do_v but_o know_v that_o this_o will_v satisfy_v my_o heart_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v first_o how_o ever_o when_o you_o hear_v that_o god_n do_v love_n israel_n answ_n when_o he_o be_v such_o a_o child_n that_o none_o eye_n pity_v he_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o help_v you_o against_o any_o conclude_a thought_n against_o god_n love_n for_o god_n do_v love_v his_o people_n when_o they_o be_v as_o unworthy_a as_o you_o be_v and_o then_o second_o but_o will_v you_o know_v whether_o god_n will_v love_v you_o the_o ready_a way_n for_o you_o to_o know_v whether_o god_n will_v love_v you_o yea_o or_o no_o it_o be_v first_o to_o raise_v up_o your_o faith_n if_o you_o be_v able_a upon_o such_o ground_n as_o these_o be_v upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o love_n to_o his_o people_n when_o they_o be_v unworthy_a and_o then_o second_o in_o quietness_n and_o meekness_n of_o spirit_n to_o lay_v thyself_o before_o the_o lord_n as_o a_o object_n of_o his_o pity_n if_o thou_o do_v not_o think_v thyself_o worthy_a to_o be_v a_o object_n of_o no_o love_n yet_o lay_v thy_o heart_n before_o god_n as_o a_o object_n of_o pity_n and_o there_o resolve_v to_o wait_v till_o the_o time_n of_o love_n shall_v come_v till_o god_n shall_v make_v know_v that_o his_o heart_n be_v towards_o thou_o for_o good_a it_o be_v not_o the_o way_n for_o thou_o to_o be_v froward_a and_o vex_v because_o of_o thy_o unworthiness_n meanness_n poverty_n and_o baseness_n and_o so_o to_o determine_v that_o he_o will_v not_o love_v thou_o therefore_o but_o i_o say_v the_o way_n for_o thou_o to_o have_v the_o sense_n of_o god_n love_n be_v this_o when_o thou_o see_v there_o be_v no_o worthiness_n in_o thou_o why_o he_o shall_v love_v thou_o yet_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o thou_o to_o make_v thyself_o a_o object_n of_o his_o pity_n and_o sixth_o do_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o his_o people_n begin_v 6._o so_o soon_o i_o love_v israel_n when_o he_o be_v a_o child_n oh_o let_v not_o thy_o love_n then_o to_o he_o be_v defer_v too_o long_o god_n love_n begin_v betimes_o to_o his_o people_n let_v not_o his_o people_n love_v be_v defer_v too_o long_o god_n be_v before_o hand_n with_o you_o in_o love_n and_o when_o ever_o we_o begin_v to_o love_v he_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o ground_n because_o he_o love_v we_o first_o you_o who_o be_v young_a youth_n do_v you_o love_v youth_n god_n betimes_o for_o if_o you_o
