the_o course_n of_o their_o sin_n that_o they_o will_v turn_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n to_o the_o lord_n the_o only_a thing_n i_o will_v observe_v here_o in_o the_o first_o phrase_n be_v these_o

needs_o be_v refer_v either_o to_o prayer_n or_o to_o repentance_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v doubtful_a to_o which_o of_o these_o for_o if_o we_o say_v to_o prayer_n it_o be_v to_o repentance_n as_o well_o as_o that_o for_o repentance_n be_v a_o turn_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o prayer_n and_o if_o we_o say_v he_o exhort_v they_o to_o the_o duty_n of_o repentance_n it_o seem_v otherwise_o for_o conversion_n be_v but_o half_a the_o work_n of_o repentance_n repentance_n consist_v of_o two_o act_n there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o it_o the_o first_o part_n of_o it_o be_v contrition_n or_o humiliation_n that_o be_v the_o penal_a or_o passive_a part_n of_o repentance_n the_o second_o part_n only_o be_v conversion_n or_o reform_v of_o our_o way_n and_o that_o be_v the_o active_a part_n it_o seem_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o repentance_n because_o that_o be_v but_o half_n again_o if_o we_o say_v he_o exhort_v to_o conversion_n that_o imply_v but_o half_a repentance_n for_o conversion_n it_o imply_v a_o turn_n from_o sin_n before_o we_o can_v turn_v to_o god_n therefore_o the_o best_a course_n will_v be_v to_o take_v in_o all_o these_o humiliation_n as_o the_o first_o thing_n in_o repentance_n and_o aversion_n from_o sin_n as_o that_o that_o always_o accompany_v true_a humiliation_n and_o turn_v to_o god_n by_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n as_o that_o part_n of_o repentance_n which_o be_v the_o last_o in_o act_n but_o the_o first_o in_o intent_n we_o may_v well_o take_v they_o in_o all_o for_o the_o scripture_n allow_v we_o this_o liberty_n the_o

prophet_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o be_v commendable_a be_v this_o that_o he_o watch_v over_o they_o in_o their_o deficiency_n he_o have_v a_o eye_n upon_o they_o he_o study_v where_o their_o imperfection_n lay_v that_o he_o may_v apply_v himself_o to_o cure_v they_o that_o he_o may_v lay_v on_o the_o salve_n a_o physician_n who_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o disease_n can_v apply_v a_o remedy_n the_o prophet_n search_v and_z digs_z for_o hardness_n of_o heart_n in_o israel_n and_o have_v find_v it_o he_o apply_v the_o remedy_n he_o watch_v over_o they_o in_o their_o ignorance_n and_o backsliding_a see_v jeremiah_n he_o take_v a_o candle_n to_o see_v if_o there_o be_v a_o man_n i_o hearken_v and_o hear_v say_v he_o it_o be_v the_o course_n that_o the_o apostle_n take_v see_v paul_n heb._n 5._o how_o he_o study_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o church_n he_o write_v to_o some_o be_v strong_a and_o he_o propound_v the_o oracle_n of_o god_n to_o they_o some_o be_v weak_a and_o those_o he_o come_v to_o in_o element_n and_o principle_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n he_o come_v to_o the_o hebrew_n bring_v the_o milk_n of_o principle_n and_o teach_v they_o again_o which_o be_v the_o first_o element_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v the_o course_n that_o every_o good_a minister_n take_v we_o shall_v never_o know_v the_o state_n of_o our_o people_n unless_o we_o study_v their_o imperfection_n and_o watch_v over_o they_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v what_o doctrine_n to_o deliver_v to_o you_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n you_o desire_v to_o walk_v in_o cloud_n that_o we_o may_v not_o observe_v you_o in_o your_o imperfection_n but_o that_o you_o may_v be_v raise_v out_o of_o sin_n give_v we_o leave_v to_o pry_v into_o they_o to_o be_v diligent_a to_o watch_v over_o our_o flock_n and_o herd_n to_o watch_v which_o way_n they_o walk_v and_o how_o they_o thrive_v and_o live_v that_o we_o may_v know_v which_o be_v disease_v which_o be_v wander_v and_o which_o be_v sound_a and_o which_o keep_v in_o the_o fold_n that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n in_o the_o prophet_n the_o second_o thing_n commendable_a be_v he_o do_v not_o only_o watch_v over_o their_o weakness_n but_o condescend_v to_o their_o infirmity_n he_o apply_v himself_o to_o their_o temper_n so_o the_o apostle_n paul_n deal_v with_o the_o corinthian_n 2_o cor._n 3._o and_o i_o brethren_n when_o i_o come_v to_o you_o i_o can_v not_o come_v to_o you_o as_o spiritual_a but_o as_o carnal_a babe_n in_o christ_n therefore_o i_o bring_v not_o strong_a meat_n but_o milk_n because_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v meat_n nor_o be_v not_o yet_o the_o apostle_n condescend_v to_o their_o capacity_n he_o see_v the_o state_n of_o their_o stomach_n what_o meat_n they_o can_v bear_v and_o what_o they_o can_v not_o digest_v and_o he_o come_v to_o they_o according_o so_o hosea_n here_o he_o observe_v that_o the_o people_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v this_o strong_a doctrine_n of_o the_o depth_n of_o repentance_n therefore_o he_o come_v to_o they_o in_o the_o first_o principle_n he_o read_v to_o they_o the_o alphabet_n of_o repentance_n he_o will_v first_o teach_v they_o to_o spell_v repentance_n for_o tear_n and_o sigh_n and_o groan_n and_o rend_v of_o the_o heart_n and_o beat_v in_o piece_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o know_v
parent_n the_o constant_a love_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o tender_a love_n of_o the_o mother_n one_o word_n can_v set_v it_o out_o so_o here_o because_o all_o dominion_n be_v due_a to_o god_n and_o we_o be_v to_o pay_v he_o all_o subjection_n and_o service_n therefore_o one_o word_n can_v set_v it_o out_o there_o be_v word_n of_o both_o sex_n use_v there_o be_v a_o relative_a to_o be_v find_v in_o both_o superior_n master_n and_o mistress_n and_o inferior_n servant_n and_o handmaid_n as_o the_o eye_n of_o servant_n and_o handmaid_n so_o our_o eye_n wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n there_o be_v mention_n of_o both_o sex_n in_o our_o propinquity_n to_o christ_n and_o his_o nearness_n to_o we_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o both_o these_o be_v set_v down_o so_o do_v our_o eye_n wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n the_o five_o and_o last_o be_v that_o that_o make_v the_o parallel_n and_o proportion_n to_o all_o the_o former_a there_o hang_v the_o meaning_n so._n as_o the_o eye_n of_o servant_n so_o do_v our_o eye_n and_o here_o now_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o matter_n in_o this_o word_n it_o argue_v a_o sweet_a temper_n in_o the_o prophet_n david_n that_o he_o that_o be_v so_o great_a a_o prince_n and_o king_n yet_o think_v it_o his_o great_a honour_n to_o call_v himself_o by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n servant_n nay_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o great_a submission_n he_o do_v not_o only_o reckon_v himself_o in_o the_o number_n of_o god_n servant_n but_o he_o learn_v this_o lesson_n from_o the_o duty_n that_o servant_n give_v their_o master_n he_o stoop_v so_o low_a as_o to_o man_n of_o mean_a condition_n to_o be_v instruct_v it_o be_v a_o lesson_n you_o may_v learn_v from_o your_o servant_n see_v what_o duty_n they_o give_v you_o give_v you_o the_o same_o to_o god_n so_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v but_o one_o argument_n but_o there_o be_v four_o in_o it_o first_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la from_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v as_o servant_n give_v all_o respect_n to_o their_o master_n so_o will_v we_o to_o god_n then_o de_fw-fr jure_fw-la as_o servant_n shall_v give_v respect_n to_o their_o master_n so_o will_v we_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o equality_n as_o so_o we_o will_v do_v it_o so_o cheerful_o as_o they_o do_v our_o delight_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o lord_n as_o they_o delight_v in_o their_o master_n we_o will_v do_v it_o so_o proper_o as_o they_o do_v we_o will_v wait_v on_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o he_o command_v we_o we_o will_v do_v so_o they_o do_v to_o their_o master_n we_o will_v do_v it_o as_o plain_o and_o evident_o a_o good_a christian_a look_n on_o god_n so_o plain_o that_o he_o consider_v he_o as_o near_o he_o as_o the_o master_n be_v to_o the_o servant_n god_n be_v always_o at_o hand_n what_o shall_v i_o say_v so_o that_o be_v so_o excellent_o so_o constant_o and_o comfortable_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n take_v from_o equality_n nay_o further_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o may_v be_v press_v from_o a_o great_a dependence_n so_o nay_o much_o more_o shall_v our_o eye_n wait_v on_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v the_o true_a height_n of_o the_o argument_n we_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o wait_v upon_o god_n than_o servant_n on_o their_o master_n servant_n have_v a_o compensation_n and_o they_o deserve_v it_o for_o their_o work_n and_o service_n we_o do_v no_o service_n for_o god_n that_o deserve_v any_o thing_n servant_n owe_v obedience_n to_o their_o master_n not_o simple_o but_o in_o subordination_n to_o god_n we_o owe_v duty_n and_o respect_n to_o god_n simple_o servant_n their_o eye_n be_v fix_v upon_o their_o master_n here_o on_o earth_n our_o service_n be_v to_o be_v continue_v in_o heaven_n servant_n do_v it_o for_o a_o time_n our_o service_n last_v always_o servant_n do_v it_o for_o man_n of_o the_o same_o condition_n with_o themselves_o they_o give_v obedience_n to_o their_o master_n and_o yet_o have_v fellowship_n of_o nature_n with_o they_o and_o have_v privilege_n and_o prerogative_n of_o grace_n common_o they_o have_v the_o same_o title_n to_o heaven_n the_o same_o fellowship_n of_o the_o spirit_n yet_o they_o give_v true_a obedience_n to_o their_o master_n though_o they_o have_v fellowship_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o community_n of_o nature_n there_o be_v no_o such_o community_n between_o our_o great_a master_n and_o we_o christian_n there_o be_v a_o infinite_a distance_n between_o god_n and_o we_o therefore_o we_o must_v do_v more_o god_n be_v infinite_o gracious_a he_o power_v out_o more_o blessing_n we_o have_v more_o good_a from_o he_o so_o then_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o do_v so_o but_o more_o therefore_o that_o be_v it_o now_o that_o christian_n will_v lay_v hold_v on_o to_o force_v the_o word_n as_o david_n better_v the_o copy_n so_o let_v we_o better_v the_o similitude_n of_o david_n as_o servant_n so_o we_o nay_o more_o but_o i_o must_v recall_v the_o word_n o_o it_o be_v happy_a if_o we_o give_v so_o much_o as_o servant_n to_o their_o master_n where_o be_v the_o man_n to_o be_v find_v that_o give_v more_o obedience_n to_o god_n than_o servant_n to_o their_o
