of_o the_o ingrateful_a and_o wicked_a world_n how_o do_v this_o care_n now_o appear_v in_o keep_v and_o preserve_v we_o wherein_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o god_n watch_v over_o we_o wherefore_o we_o must_v lift_v up_o our_o eye_n to_o the_o hill_n where_o the_o lord_n have_v publish_v his_o will_n and_o his_o word_n there_o must_v we_o harken_v what_o he_o speak_v out_o of_o his_o holy_a temple_n namely_o that_o he_o neither_o sleep_v nor_o forsake_v we_o as_o the_o flesh_n perverse_o judge_v but_o keep_v we_o care_v for_o we_o and_o watch_v over_o we_o this_o word_n faith_n lay_v hold_v on_o

therefore_o he_o extol_v his_o own_o god_n mammon_n that_o he_o may_v have_v always_o money_n at_o hand_n and_o what_o so_o ever_o may_v maintain_v the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n this_o vanity_n be_v it_o that_o the_o flesh_n so_o magnify_v but_o he_o see_v not_o what_o shall_v follow_v when_o he_o must_v die_v and_o forsake_v his_o riches_n and_o therefore_o this_o keeper_n this_o watchman_n which_o keep_v and_o preserve_v we_o by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o word_n he_o nothing_o regard_v let_v we_o therefore_o which_o do_v believe_v and_o see_v this_o miserable_a blindness_n of_o the_o world_n be_v sure_o persuade_v that_o this_o hide_a &_o invisible_a protection_n under_o the_o which_o we_o abide_v by_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o word_n be_v almighty_a for_o to_o this_o the_o holy_a scripture_n lead_v we_o devil_n and_o teach_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o therefore_o every_o moment_n he_o cause_v man_n to_o sin_n murther_v they_o seduce_v and_o bring_v they_o into_o error_n or_o at_o least_o go_v about_o by_o all_o mean_n so_o to_o do_v thus_o be_v we_o always_o in_o death_n in_o

exercise_v such_o other_o office_n and_o function_n of_o the_o body_n &_o of_o the_o sense_n here_o our_o divinity_n teach_v we_o even_o by_o our_o own_o experience_n that_o if_o god_n do_v not_o watch_v when_o we_o sleep_v if_o he_o be_v not_o careful_a for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v careless_a we_o shall_v perish_v every_o moment_n we_o shall_v lose_v our_o tongue_n our_o eye_n our_o ear_n our_o hand_n our_o foot_n and_o our_o life_n also_o and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o these_o thing_n do_v many_o time_n chance_n and_o when_o we_o little_a doubt_n or_o think_v thereof_o our_o wife_n our_o child_n or_o our_o friend_n die_v or_o else_o fall_v into_o some_o great_a danger_n it_o be_v a_o minifest_z token_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o death_n and_o sin_n in_o this_o kingdom_n because_o we_o live_v while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n hereof_o it_o come_v that_o we_o often_o time_n offend_v and_o fall_v into_o many_o sin_n thus_o david_n become_v both_o a_o adulterer_n and_o a_o murderer_n so_o that_o hereby_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o this_o world_n be_v to_o advance_v sin_n to_o murder_v &_o destroy_v now_o therefore_o that_o we_o yet_o live_v and_o breath_n that_o we_o fall_v not_o daily_o into_o grievous_a and_o horrible_a sin_n it_o be_v the_o great_a mercy_n goodness_n and_o

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

likewise_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o make_v nothing_o thus_o david_n set_v forth_o the_o praise_n and_o commendation_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o what_o a_o great_a benefit_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n be_v it_o not_o only_o to_o leave_v a_o certain_a place_n where_o the_o people_n may_v come_v together_o to_o serve_v and_o worship_n god_n but_o also_o a_o certain_a sound_n of_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

do_v not_o condemn_v the_o build_n of_o the_o temple_n which_o afterward_o shall_v be_v do_v by_o his_o son_n solomon_n but_o do_v earnest_o desire_v the_o same_o and_o the_o cause_n why_o he_o do_v 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 praise_n and_o thank_n give_v for_o his_o benefit_n receive_v hitherto_o we_o have_v hear_v how_o the_o prophet_n extol_v and_o magnify_v the_o incomparable_a gift_n &_o benefit_n of_o god_n the_o word_n i_o mean_v with_o thank_n and_o praise_n unto_o god_n for_o the_o same_o for_o that_o be_v a_o benefit_n and_o blessing_n in_o deed_n which_o be_v know_v and_o acknowledge_v so_o to_o be_v all_o the_o world_n as_o we_o see_v be_v full_a &_o even_o glut_v with_o the_o benefit_n of_o god_n notwithstanding_o it_o remain_v still_o in_o such_o blindness_n that_o it_o know_v they_o not_o to_o

kingdom_n wherein_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n and_o true_a religion_n flourish_v this_o great_a benefit_n he_o acknowledge_v and_o therefore_o he_o so_o rejoice_v and_o magnify_v his_o jerusalem_n as_o a_o place_n appoint_v by_o the_o lords_z own_o mouth_n where_o the_o people_n may_v come_v together_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n for_o his_o benefit_n out_o of_o the_o which_o place_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o find_v god_n the_o gentile_n because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o word_n nor_o this_o hear_n whereof_o david_n here_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 to_o hear_v he_o will_v not_o hear_v and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o common_a than_o this_o impiety_n this_o horrible_a contempt_n this_o devilish_a loathe_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n amongst_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n the_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o we_o hear_v not_o the_o lord_n speak_v now_o unto_o we_o in_o his_o majesty_n as_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o mount_v sinai_n at_o what_o time_n the_o people_n be_v astonish_v &_o tremble_v at_o the_o terrible_a voice_n of_o the_o lord_n &_o yet_o how_o soon_o have_v they_o forget_v the_o lord_n and_o murmur_v both_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o against_o moses_n thus_o in_o his_o majesty_n he_o speak_v no_o more_o but_o he_o speak_v now_o unto_o we_o by_o man_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v contemn_v horrible_a it_o be_v that_o sodom_n be_v burn_v up_o with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n horrible_a it_o be_v also_o that_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v destroy_v with_o water_n moreover_o the_o daily_a example_n of_o
