those_o that_o rely_v upon_o they_o if_o we_o will_v rely_v upon_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n it_o must_v either_o be_v person_n or_o thing_n but_o we_o can_v safe_o repose_v our_o trust_n in_o either_o of_o these_o not_o in_o person_n they_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o one_o of_o these_o two_o head_n either_o high_a or_o low_o those_o that_o be_v of_o a_o mean_a condition_n it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a to_o trust_v they_o they_o that_o can_v secure_v themselves_o from_o meanness_n can_v secure_v other_o from_o mischief_n man_n of_o low_a degree_n be_v vanity_n but_o great_a one_o of_o the_o world_n they_o seem_v to_o promise_v something_o of_o assistance_n and_o security_n to_o we_o but_o if_o we_o depend_v upon_o they_o they_o will_v frustrate_v we_o man_n of_o high_a degree_n be_v a_o lie_n as_o for_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n that_o which_o man_n usual_o place_v their_o confidence_n in_o be_v riches_n these_o be_v either_o get_v by_o unlawful_a or_o lawful_a mean_n if_o they_o be_v ill_o get_v by_o oppression_n or_o robbery_n they_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o secure_v we_o from_o evil_a that_o they_o will_v bring_v it_o upon_o we_o if_o they_o be_v well_o get_v they_o be_v of_o a_o uncertain_a nature_n that_o we_o have_v little_a reason_n to_o place_v our_o hope_n in_o they_o if_o riches_n increase_v set_v not_o your_o heart_n upon_o they_o that_o be_v your_o hope_n for_o heart_n in_o scripture_n signify_v any_o of_o the_o affection_n 2._o because_o god_n be_v the_o proper_a object_n of_o our_o trust_n and_o confidence_n we_o may_v safe_o rely_v upon_o any_o one_o in_o who_o these_o two_o thing_n concur_v a_o power_n to_o help_v we_o and_o goodness_n to_o incline_v he_o so_o to_o do_v now_o david_n tell_v we_o that_o both_o these_o be_v

i_o hear_v this_o some_o interpreter_n trouble_v themselves_o about_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o expression_n as_o if_o it_o do_v refer_v to_o some_o particular_a revelation_n of_o god_n and_o then_o

which_o be_v capable_a of_o a_o plain_a sense_n for_o i_o understand_v no_o more_o by_o it_o but_o this_o that_o god_n have_v several_a time_n reveal_v this_o he_o frequent_o declare_v himself_o by_o

as_o the_o abuse_n of_o god_n patience_n render_v our_o destruction_n more_o certain_a so_o more_o speedy_a and_o more_o intolerable_a we_o think_v that_o because_o god_n suffer_v long_o he_o will_v

to_o see_v if_o it_o will_v bear_v fruit_n 2._o the_o long-suffering_a of_o god_n be_v a_o great_a encouragement_n to_o repentance_n we_o see_v by_o his_o patience_n that_o he_o be_v not_o ready_a
