be_v speak_v verse_n 2._o behold_v as_o the_o eye_n of_o servant_n look_v unto_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o master_n and_o as_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o maiden_n unto_o the_o hand_n of_o her_o mistress_n so_o our_o eye_n wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n until_o he_o have_v mercy_n upon_o us._n here_o the_o prophet_n set_v forth_o by_o similitude_n the_o nature_n of_o true_a piety_n as_o if_o he_o say_v great_a be_v our_o affliction_n and_o yet_o the_o lord_n prolong_v his_o help_n neither_o ease_v our_o misery_n nor_o revenge_v our_o wrong_n he_o suffer_v the_o cruel_a the_o proud_a and_o the_o scornful_a to_o trea●_n we_o under_o foot_n and_o to_o prosper_v in_o our_o sight_n this_o delay_n be_v tedious_a &_o grevous_a unto_o we_o notwithstanding_o we_o will_v not_o murmur_v or_o

their_o master_n &_o mistress_n so_o will_v we_o attend_v upon_o y_fw-es lord_n our_o god_n until_o he_o have_v pity_n upon_o us._n tentation_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n sometime_o defer_v his_o help_n neither_o show_v how_o nor_o when_o he_o will_v help_v but_o leave_v his_o saint_n in_o such_o perplexity_n as_o though_o he_o have_v no_o regard_n either_o of_o the_o time_n or_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o deliverance_n so_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o hang_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o mid_n between_o heaven_n and_o earth_n these_o thing_n be_v grevous_a and_o exceed_o increase_v the_o tentation_n therefore_o we_o must_v lay_v sure_a hold_n on_o this_o consolation_n which_o the_o prophet_n here_o set_v forth_o that_o our_o tentation_n shall_v have_v a_o end_n but_o not_o as_o we_o will_v lest_o we_o seem_v to_o appoint_v the_o time_n and_o manner_n of_o our_o deliverance_n which_o the_o lord_n reserve_v to_o himself_o alone_o and_o here_o be_v a_o example_n set_v forth_o unto_o we_o faithful_a patient_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n to_o be_v instant_a in_o prayer_n and_o never_o to_o let_v our_o hand_n fall_v or_o

with_o we_o in_o our_o necessity_n whereof_o our_o saviour_n christ_n also_o warn_v we_o in_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o unrighteous_a judge_n who_o although_o he_o neither_o fear_v

but_o he_o may_v be_v overcome_v with_o instant_n and_o continual_a prayer_n what_o shall_v we_o not_o hope_v to_o obtain_v at_o god_n hand_n which_o willing_o offer_v himself_o to_o hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o also_o command_v we_o to_o pray_v yea_o and_o be_v more_o ready_a to_o grant_v our_o petition_n then_o we_o be_v to_o ask_v for_o in_o that_o he_o differ_v his_o help_n he_o do_v it_o not_o because_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v we_o but_o to_o exercise_v and_o stir_v up_o our_o faith_n and_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o way_n whereby_o he_o can_v and_o do_v deliver_v we_o be_v so_o manifold_a &_o miraculous_a that_o we_o be_v never_o able_a to_o conceive_v they_o therefore_o let_v we_o think_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o ask_v be_v not_o deny_v but_o differ_v &_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v not_o neglect_v because_o of_o this_o delay_n the_o patient_a abide_n of_o the_o afflict_a say_v david_n in_o a_o other_o psalm_n shall_v not_o perish_v yea_o the_o lord_n

which_o please_v he_o if_o it_o be_v do_v in_o faith_n for_o servant_n be_v here_o mention_v for_o the_o comfort_n of_o all_o good_a servant_n and_o in_o they_o be_v commend_v not_o only_o their_o

in_o their_o sight_n in_o time_n convenient_a but_o in_o deed_n david_n speak_v here_o of_o better_a servant_n than_o be_v common_o see_v at_o this_o day_n for_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o people_n more_o deceitful_a negligent_a and_o stubborn_a even_o when_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n of_o sharp_a and_o severe_a correction_n wherefore_o let_v all_o such_o as_o will_v be_v count_v good_a
