to_o hope_v etc_n etc_n yea_o the_o cross_n and_o oppression_n of_o the_o christian_n be_v the_o exaltation_n and_o triumph_n of_o the_o church_n let_v the_o adversary_n than_o do_v what_o they_o

and_o to_o invocate_v and_o praise_v his_o holy_a name_n this_o be_v it_o for_o the_o which_o david_n so_o high_o praise_v his_o temple_n which_o we_o also_o ought_v special_o to_o behold_v in_o our_o

this_o word_n testify_v as_o the_o hebrew_n have_v many_o word_n to_o signify_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n to_o utter_v to_o promise_v to_o confess_v to_o sit_v to_o judge_v to_o testify_v to_o teach_v all_o these_o word_n in_o effect_n do_v signify_v as_o much_o as_o to_o preach_v or_o publish_v the_o word_n the_o preacher_n be_v witness_n to_o the_o people_n of_o that_o they_o know_v which_o be_v not_o see_v nor_o feel_v but_o believe_v they_o be_v also_o witness_n which_o he_o be_v the_o word_n for_o when_o they_o hear_v it_o they_o testify_v or_o bear_v witness_n

than_o god_n himself_o be_v hear_v for_o he_o can_v not_o be_v hear_v but_o by_o witness_n and_o as_o s._n paul_n call_v they_o by_o his_o messenger_n that_o which_o be_v teach_v they_o in_o the_o

testify_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o why_o david_n so_o rejoice_v namely_o that_o his_o jerusalem_n be_v build_v to_o this_o end_n that_o the_o word_n of_o faith_n may_v there_o be_v preach_v whereby_o the_o people_n may_v learn_v to_o know_v what_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v what_o he_o intend_v to_o do_v with_o his_o people_n what_o punishment_n and_o plague_n he_o threaten_v to_o the_o wicked_a and_o this_o preach_n be_v the_o testimony_n which_o david_n here_o speak_v of_o make_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n gather_v together_o in_o this_o place_n whereby_o they_o be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o peculiar_a and_o choose_a people_n of_o god_n from_o all_o other_o nation_n as_o he_o say_v in_o a_o other_o psalm_n he_o have_v not_o so_o deal_v with_o every_o nation_n wherefore_o we_o also_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o rich_a blessing_n of_o god_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v now_o pure_o &_o sincere_o preach_v amongst_o we_o as_o it_o be_v then_o in_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o sweet_a promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n sound_v in_o the_o ear_n &_o conscience_n of_o the_o godly_a to_o their_o singular_a comfort_n and_o consolation_n also_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n publish_v whereby_o the_o wicked_a be_v call_v to_o repentance_n and_o the_o godly_a keep_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o mortification_n of_o the_o old_a man_n through_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o the_o father_n through_o christ_n and_o for_o christ_n sake_n pour_v upon_o they_o abundant_o which_o willing_o and_o glad_o receive_v this_o testimony_n this_o be_v one_o part_n then_o of_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n to_o learn_v the_o way_n how_o to_o worship_v god_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o best_o please_v he_o which_o consist_v in_o teach_v of_o the_o word_n &_o hear_n of_o god_n when_o he_o speak_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o witness_n and_o therefore_o the_o devil_n desire_v nothing_o so_o much_o as_o to_o hinder_v the_o preach_v &_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n for_o this_o cause_n he_o raise_v up_o as_o you_o hear_v in_o the_o first_o psalm_n lie_v lip_n and_o deceitful_a tongue_n he_o stir_v up_o the_o world_n with_o sword_n and_o power_n to_o oppress_v the_o godly_a and_o even_o in_o ourselves_o he_o go_v about_o to_o deface_v this_o kind_n of_o service_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n by_o our_o devilish_a

of_o god_n be_v preach_v concern_v remission_n of_o sin_n the_o righteousness_n that_o come_v by_o christ_n and_o life_n everlasting_a this_o doctrine_n destroy_v his_o kingdom_n this_o cause_v he_o to_o rage_n and_o to_o seek_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a how_o he_o may_v hinder_v the_o course_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v to_o praise_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n word_n this_o david_n make_v the_o second_o kind_n of_o worship_n when_o he_o commend_v his_o jerusalem_n and_o here_o again_o note_v that_o he_o speak_v nothing_o of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n for_o albeit_o he_o do_v not_o discommend_v they_o as_o i_o say_v before_o yet_o he_o reckon_v they_o but_o as_o chaff_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o

desire_v it_o here_o you_o see_v namely_o that_o first_o the_o name_n of_o god_n may_v there_o be_v preach_v and_o then_o that_o god_n may_v there_o accept_v the_o prayer_n of_o his_o people_n with_o

that_o man_n a_o weak_a creature_n nothing_o but_o earth_n &_o dust_n shall_v so_o lift_v up_o himself_o in_o pride_n that_o when_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n speak_v &_o most_o love_o invite_v he_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 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
