will_v wonder_v how_o this_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v his_o kingdom_n again_o and_o be_v make_v know_v to_o his_o noble_n why_o the_o text_n say_v he_o look_v up_o

and_o therefore_o he_o have_v as_o much_o glory_n and_o honour_n as_o ever_o before_o the_o like_v you_o shall_v see_v in_o mordecaye_n time_n time_n when_o the_o church_n be_v in_o extremity_n for_o you_o see_v how_o far_o haman_n go_v the_o blow_n be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o give_n the_o knife_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n to_o cut_v the_o throat_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o the_o jew_n yet_o when_o they_o have_v humble_v themselves_o by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n to_o the_o lord_n that_o make_v work_v in_o heaven_n and_o when_o there_o be_v a_o change_n in_o heaven_n you_o see_v how_o

let_v we_o never_o give_v over_o our_o hope_n and_o despair_v not_o for_o because_o the_o lord_n be_v ever_o ready_a to_o show_v mercy_n for_o mercy_n please_v he_o a_o man_n when_o he_o correct_v his_o child_n simile_n he_o do_v it_o unwilling_o but_o when_o he_o be_v fit_a for_o mercy_n he_o be_v glad_a to_o show_v that_o why_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n he_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v it_o and_o exceed_v able_a for_o he_o be_v a_o physician_n that_o be_v able_a to_o heal_v the_o most_o dangerous_a disease_n and_o shall_v we_o then_o doubt_v of_o the_o accomplishment_n it_o be_v a_o common_a fault_n among_o we_o to_o measure_v the_o lord_n according_a to_o ourselves_o and_o so_o when_o we_o see_v man_n can_v help_v we_o we_o think_v that_o god_n can_v but_o he_o that_o can_v turn_v winter_n into_o a_o summer_n can_v speedy_o turn_v our_o estate_n when_o we_o be_v fit_a for_o it_o as_o a_o physician_n that_o administer_v hard_a potion_n to_o his_o patient_n simile_n it_o be_v not_o because_o he_o can_v or_o will_v not_o give_v he_o pleasant_a thing_n but_o it_o be_v because_o his_o patient_n be_v not_o fit_a for_o it_o for_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v fit_a for_o cordial_n he_o most_o willing_o give_v they_o unto_o he_o and_o as_o the_o husbandman_n simile_n he_o be_v willing_a enough_o to_o sow_v his_o seed_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o will_v be_v glad_a if_o the_o time_n be_v come_v i_o but_o he_o know_v if_o he_o so_o we_o it_o on_o the_o wild_a waste_n ground_n it_o will_v be_v lose_v and_o therefore_o he_o plough_n it_o first_o and_o again_o too_o yea_o thrice_n if_o it_o be_v needful_a and_o then_o have_v well_o fit_v it_o he_o sow_n his_o seed_n even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n he_o first_o plough_n the_o ground_n he_o dig_v deep_a into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n if_o it_o be_v needful_a so_o to_o do_v but_o if_o a_o little_a plough_v will_v serve_v he_o never_o take_v a_o deep_a and_o if_o one_o will_v serve_v he_o never_o give_v a_o second_o and_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v fit_a to_o receive_v the_o seed_n mercy_n shall_v come_v in_o amain_o among_o we_o even_o as_o that_o which_o go_v with_o wind_n and_o tide_n yea_o it_o shall_v come_v as_o fast_o as_o our_o misery_n do_v which_o though_o it_o come_v headlong_o upon_o we_o as_o it_o do_v upon_o nabuchadnezzar_n yet_o how_o quick_o do_v the_o lord_n deliver_v he_o again_o and_o so_o shall_v it_o be_v with_o we_o because_o the_o lord_n be_v delight_v with_o mercy_n therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v usual_o help_v in_o extremity_n and_o not_o before_o for_o in_o the_o mount_n will_v the_o lord_n be_v see_v and_o as_o the_o first_o doctrine_n be_v draw_v natural_o from_o these_o word_n that_o it_o be_v god_n usual_a manner_n to_o bring_v his_o child_n into_o the_o mount_n so_o in_o the_o second_o place_n then_o and_o there_o will_v he_o be_v see_v therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o extremity_n will_v the_o lord_n be_v see_v be_v and_o not_o before_o but_o then_o he_o will_v appear_v in_o his_o special_a providence_n for_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o child_n though_o not_o before_o and_o why_o so_o by_o first_o because_o the_o lord_n know_v this_o be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o draw_v forth_o the_o practice_n of_o many_o grace_n and_o good_a duty_n which_o otherwise_o will_v be_v without_o use_n as_o for_o example_n when_o jacob_n have_v make_v his_o brother_n esau_n his_o enemy_n by_o his_o hasty_a get_n of_o the_o blessing_n whereas_o if_o he_o have_v stay_v the_o lord_n time_n he_o may_v have_v have_v it_o without_o any_o sorrow_n with_o it_o but_o because_o he_o will_v have_v it_o a_o wrong_a way_n it_o be_v accompany_v with_o many_o sorrow_n both_o in_o he_o and_o rebecca_n likewise_o now_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v present_o make_v reconciliation_n betwixt_o he_o and_o his_o brother_n as_o he_o can_v have_v do_v though_o he_o do_v not_o but_o make_v it_o long_o first_o that_o make_v jacob_n exceed_v fruitful_a for_o he_o be_v cause_v to_o to_o fly_v as_o his_o mother_n counsel_v he_o to_o do_v in_o his_o necessity_n become_v acquaint_v with_o the_o lord_n and_o know_v he_o better_o than_o ever_o otherwise_o he_o shall_v have_v know_v he_o yea_o he_o know_v himself_o better_o too_o and_o therefore_o vow_v to_o give_v the_o lord_n the_o ten_o of_o all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v his_o god_n for_o ever_o if_o he_o will_v give_v he_o food_n and_o clothing_n of_o which_o he_o feel_v the_o want_n at_o that_o time_n and_o this_o bring_v his_o heart_n to_o the_o lord_n so_o likewise_o when_o esau_n come_v against_o he_o at_o his_o return_v home_o again_o if_o it_o at_o the_o first_o it_o have_v be_v tell_v jacob_n that_o his_o brother_n have_v be_v friend_n with_o he_o he_o have_v never_o wrestle_v with_o the_o lord_n as_o he_o do_v and_o so_o shall_v he_o have_v miss_v of_o that_o great_a blessing_n which_o he_o receive_v in_o be_v call_v israel_n and_o therefore_o we_o se●_n the_o lord_n by_o this_o do_v draw_v many_o great_a fruit_n from_o they_o of_o which_o otherwise_o the_o lord_n shall_v lose_v the_o glory_n and_o we_o the_o benefit_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o we_o so_o likewise_o the_o angel_n be_v send_v to_o daniel_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o pray_v i_o but_o if_o the_o message_n have_v then_o be_v deliver_v to_o he_o his_o heart_n have_v not_o be_v so_o well_o mould_v in_o the_o frame_n of_o grace_n therefore_o the_o lord_n let_v he_o alone_o though_o he_o have_v give_v the_o angel_n charge_v to_o deliver_v the_o message_n to_o he_o yet_o till_o he_o have_v do_v his_o work_n and_o be_v make_v fit_a for_o it_o the_o message_n of_o their_o full_a deliverance_n be_v not_o make_v know_v unto_o he_o a_o second_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n defer_v and_o will_v stay_v till_o the_o very_a extremity_n come_v be_v repentance_n because_o he_o will_v give_v a_o time_n to_o man_n to_o repent_v and_o meet_v he_o in_o which_o be_v good_a for_o his_o child_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v not_o seek_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o for_o such_o as_o do_v not_o seek_v he_o it_o be_v to_o leave_v they_o without_o excuse_n as_o in_o 2_o chron._n 11._o 12._o chapter_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o roboam_n seek_v the_o lord_n for_o three_o year_n together_o and_o then_o depart_v from_o he_o yet_o shisacke_n be_v not_o send_v against_o he_o till_o the_o five_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n whence_o this_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o though_o he_o have_v forsake_v the_o lord_n who_o therefore_o have_v resolve_v to_o bring_v judgement_n upon_o he_o yet_o he_o give_v he_o two_o year_n liberty_n to_o see_v if_o he_o will_v return_v so_o when_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v like_o a_o flourish_a tree_n when_o he_o have_v dream_v his_o dream_n and_o that_o make_v know_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v cut_v down_o to_o the_o very_a root_n like_o the_o lily_n in_o winter_n nothing_o shall_v be_v

look_v into_o your_o heart_n and_o nature_n which_o be_v whole_o corrupt_v sin_n and_o the_o root_n of_o all_o evil_a and_o where_o your_o corruption_n be_v strong_a as_o fire_n in_o the_o root_n many_o labour_n to_o excuse_v their_o sin_n from_o their_o nature_n because_o that_o that_o be_v prone_a unto_o it_o but_o that_o make_v their_o cause_n the_o worse_o it_o increase_v their_o vildness_n for_o why_o have_v thou_o such_o a_o nature_n and_o do_v not_o curb_v it_o beside_o their_o nature_n be_v odious_a to_o god_n though_o they_o never_o shall_v break_v out_o as_o a_o

for_o actual_a sin_n do_v more_o increase_v the_o custom_n and_o habit_n of_o sin_n so_o that_o beside_o adam_n sin_n thou_o thyself_o be_v guilty_a of_o corrupt_v thy_o own_o nature_n 2._o in_o

they_o but_o consider_v with_o thyself_o thou_o have_v nothing_o good_a in_o thou_o at_o all_o can_v good_a fruit_n proceed_v from_o a_o ill_a tree_n 3._o in_o smite_v thy_o heart_n with_o a_o apprehension_n of_o death_n curs●_n hell_n and_o misery_n due_a to_o thy_o sin_n then_o will_v thou_o find_v thyself_o in_o a_o miserable_a estate_n and_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o be_v humble_v when_o in_o consideration_n of_o these_o thing_n thy_o heart_n smite_v thou_o as_o belchazzars_n do_v he_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o first_o question_n the_o second_o question_n be_v 2._o what_o kind_n of_o sorrow_n be_v require_v in_o this_o humiliation_n i_o answer_v answ._n not_o those_o violent_a flashing_n of_o sorrow_n which_o for_o a_o while_o amaze_v like_o a_o land-stood_a
