wherefore_o isaiah_n call_v the_o apostle_n arrow_n and_o likewise_o zachary_n the_o meaning_n than_o be_v this_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o reign_v at_o home_n in_o peace_n without_o

help_v and_o victory_n say_v lord_n in_o thy_o hand_n be_v strength_n and_o victory_n be_v thou_o my_o helper_n fight_v thou_o for_o i_o like_a as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o in_o the_o

a_o wonderful_a thing_n to_o see_v how_o ready_a it_o be_v to_o receive_v help_n and_o comfort_n â–ª_o any_o way_n else_o â–ª_o save_v only_o of_o god._n faith_n this_o be_v then_o the_o praise_n

the_o inclination_n of_o man_n nature_n to_o follow_v his_o own_o way_n and_o to_o forsake_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o david_n say_v some_o forsake_v the_o temple_n &_o abhor_v the_o

show_v more_o present_a help_n in_o the_o temple_n then_o god_n so_o they_o cry_v in_o jeremy_n we_o will_v do_v sacrifice_n to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n but_o thy_o commandment_n we_o will_v

worship_n of_o god_n they_o run_v headlong_o to_o all_o impiety_n but_o you_o will_v say_v why_o will_v god_n that_o idolatry_n shall_v have_v such_o success_n even_o to_o try_v our_o faith_n and_o whether_o we_o do_v true_o believe_v and_o worship_v one_o god_n according_a to_o that_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v have_v none_o other_o god_n etc_n etc_n true_a it_o be_v in_o deed_n that_o idolatry_n have_v great_a success_n time_n yet_o be_v it_o but_o for_o a_o time_n so_o say_v king_n achas_n the_o god_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o syrian_n do_v help_v they_o therefore_o will_v i_o also_o seek_v their_o favour_n and_o they_o shall_v help_v i_o but_o what_o say_v the_o scripture_n the_o god_n of_o syria_n be_v the_o destruction_n both_o of_o they_o and_o of_o all_o israel_n and_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o such_o false_a trust_n so_o do_v mammon_n likewise_o help_v his_o worshipper_n for_o he_o be_v a_o great_a god_n and_o bring_v to_o they_o liberty_n joy_n and_o

and_o delight_n the_o heart_n of_o man_n can_v here_o desire_v or_o enjoy_v he_o find_v they_o uncertain_a and_o short_o must_v forsake_v they_o and_o yet_o withal_o they_o bring_v unspeakable_a

with_o vain_a pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n which_o endure_v but_o a_o moment_n but_o replenish_v they_o with_o everlasting_a joy_n for_o thus_o he_o say_v i_o will_v see_v you_o again_o and_o your_o

time_n when_o he_o will_v show_v himself_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o affliction_n of_o this_o life_n be_v not_o to_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o glory_n which_o shall_v be_v reveil_v on_o we_o as_o s._n paul_n comfort_v us._n this_o be_v then_o the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o this_o verse_n that_o faith_n be_v a_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n

when_o it_o shall_v be_v most_o to_o our_o joy_n &_o comfort_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o these_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n do_v here_o express_v i_o lift_v up_o my_o eye_n to_o the_o hill_n

thou_o lord_n will_v strait_o mark_v what_o be_v do_v amiss_o oh_o lord_n who_o may_v abide_v it_o be_v not_o this_o then_o absolute_o to_o deny_v all_o the_o righteousness_n purity_n &_o holiness_n of_o man_n what_o so_o ever_o they_o be_v likewise_o in_o the_o 31._o psalm_n thus_o he_o speak_v even_o of_o those_o who_o he_o call_v godly_a and_o holy_a for_o this_o shall_v every_o one_o that_o be_v godly_a prey_n unto_o thou_o that_o be_v for_o pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n where_o be_v they_o then_o that_o so_o high_o extol_v the_o righteousness_n of_o work_n see_v that_o

that_o they_o themselves_o do_v not_o understand_v but_o furnish_v faith_n how_o so_o ever_o you_o listen_v yet_o be_v this_o a_o general_a sentence_n if_o thou_o lord_n will_v strait_o mark_v what_o be_v do_v amiss_o oh_o lord_n who_o who_o may_v abide_v it_o sure_o no_o man_n live_v for_o if_o any_o man_n have_v be_v able_a to_o abide_v it_o than_o david_n no_o doubt_n have_v be_v able_a be_v

when_o it_o be_v not_o under_o tentation_n still_o look_v unto_o work_n and_o seek_v mean_n how_o it_o may_v by_o they_o please_v god_n but_o here_o be_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o a_o simple_a and_o
