as_o if_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o do_v so_o much_o but_o towards_o the_o end_n of_o the_o psalm_n he_o show_v himself_o another_o man_n he_o take_v heart_n and_o become_v a_o suitor_n for_o all_o israel_n yea_o he_o presume_v to_o beg_v for_o it_o the_o great_a blessing_n of_o god_n but_o he_o do_v it_o out_o of_o another_o virtue_n also_o which_o shine_v here_o the_o virtue_n of_o

himself_o bind_v to_o be_v a_o mediator_n for_o god_n favour_n such_o charity_n in_o pray_v deserve_v to_o be_v exemplary_a wherefore_o let_v we_o listen_v diligent_o to_o the_o unfolding_n thereof_o that_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o exemplify_v it_o in_o our_o prayer_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o we_o must_v enter_v upon_o be_v those_o for_o who_o king_n d●uid_n conceive_v this_o desire_n they_o be_v zion_n and_o jerusalem_n which_o word_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v take_v sometime_o historical_o sometime_o mystical_o that_o be_v either_o they_o nor_o place_n in_o the_o holy_a land_n or_o else_o by_o those_o place_n represent_v unto_o we_o the_o church_n of_o god_n because_o the_o mystical_a sense_n can_v be_v concerue_v but_o by_o the_o correspondency_n which_o it_o have_v unto_o
