day_n long_o be_v it_o not_o enough_o that_o my_o friend_n and_o kinsman_n will_v do_v i_o no_o good_a but_o there_o be_v other_o that_o will_v do_v i_o hurt_v and_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o

and_o say_v o_o lord_n i_o will_v praise_v thou_o though_o thou_o be_v angry_a with_o i_o yet_o thy_o anger_n be_v turn_v away_o behold_v god_n be_v my_o salvation_n i_o will_v crust_n and_o not_o

in_o how_o much_o better_a state_n be_v thou_o than_o david_n be_v for_o he_o only_o expect_v when_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o thou_o be_v assure_v when_o it_o be_v for_o than_o be_v god_n manifest_v

so_o i_o may_v be_v sure_a for_o so_o i_o shall_v be_v sure_a thou_o will_v not_o chasten_v i_o in_o thy_o displeasure_n as_o there_o have_v be_v many_o particular_a deluge_n and_o flood_n yet_o but_o one_o general_a so_o there_o have_v be_v many_o particular_a deliverer_n and_o saviour_n yet_o but_o one_o general_a and_o from_o this_o general_a saviour_n it_o be_v that_o i_o desire_v &_o expect_v

only_o from_o temporal_a but_o from_o spiritual_a enemy_n not_o only_o from_o trouble_n of_o bone_n but_o from_o trouble_n of_o soul_n not_o only_o from_o misery_n here_o on_o earth_n but_o even_o from_o misery_n when_o earth_n itself_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o o_o happy_a salvation_n when_o this_o saviour_n shall_v come_v and_o save_v i_o but_o how_o may_v i_o do_v to_o get_v he_o to_o come_v for_o he_o come_v not_o but_o upon_o some_o motive_n if_o i_o have_v all_o the_o gold_n of_o ophir_n i_o will_v willing_o give_v it_o all_o to_o get_v he_o to_o come_v and_o save_v i_o but_o alas_o

he_o will_v do_v it_o if_o ever_o he_o will_v do_v it_o but_o be_v not_o this_o strange_a my_o weakness_n be_v the_o motive_n before_o to_o move_v god_n to_o mercy_n and_o must_v his_o mercy_n now_o

without_o it_o see_v we_o always_o need_v it_o indeed_o this_o motive_n for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n be_v the_o primum_fw-la mobile_a of_o all_o motive_n to_o god_n for_o show_v his_o favour_n he_o have_v never_o deliver_v the_o israelite_n out_o of_o egypt_n but_o for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n he_o have_v never_o save_v noah_n in_o the_o ark_n but_o for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n but_o above_o all_o he_o have_v never_o send_v his_o son_n to_o save_v the_o world_n but_o for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n and_o how_o then_o can_v i_o doubt_v and_o not_o rather_o be_v confident_a that_o for_o his_o mercy_n
