do_v our_o eye_n wait_v on_o the_o lord_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o will_v have_v be_v too_o straight_o though_o we_o must_v wait_v on_o god_n gracious_a hand_n both_o of_o power_n that_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

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

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

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

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

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

to_o receive_v their_o direction_n we_o must_v not_o prescribe_v god_n leave_v god_n to_o his_o way_n though_o we_o see_v thing_n improbable_a god_n can_v work_v it_o out_o we_o must_v leave_v he_o

safety_n a_o good_a servant_n will_v venture_v his_o life_n for_o his_o master_n especial_o in_o a_o good_a cause_n o_o then_o let_v we_o go_v and_o be_v like_o mind_a put_v all_o these_o together_o and_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o thing_n provoke_v ourselves_o to_o the_o faithful_a obedience_n and_o service_n that_o belong_v to_o god_n let_v we_o mould_n ourselves_o with_o these_o

and_o then_o there_o must_v be_v no_o period_n set_v of_o our_o duty_n and_o wait_v until_o he_o have_v mercy_n on_o we_o that_o word_n seem_v to_o be_v as_o long_o as_o the_o other_o indeed_o it_o be_v true_a in_o it_o self_n it_o be_v not_o long_o because_o god_n be_v not_o long_o in_o show_v mercy_n he_o be_v quick_a if_o we_o shall_v wait_v upon_o he_o only_o till_o he_o show_v mercy_n we_o

all_o those_o arrow_n of_o love_n and_o obedience_n and_o fear_v that_o he_o send_v up_o to_o god_n the_o end_n and_o aim_v of_o all_o be_v this_o that_o he_o may_v attain_v mercy_n he_o look_v up_o to_o god_n for_o mercy_n mercy_n that_o be_v of_o a_o large_a signification_n we_o can_v beg_v nothing_o of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o mercy_n if_o a_o man_n be_v disconsolate_a he_o look_v to_o god_n for_o comfort_n if_o there_o be_v a_o doubtful_a heart_n that_o look_v up_o to_o god_n for_o resolution_n if_o there_o be_v a_o blind_a heart_n that_o look_v for_o illumination_n of_o a_o waver_a

a_o man_n be_v in_o persecution_n peace_n be_v a_o mercy_n if_o he_o be_v in_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n ease_n be_v a_o mercy_n if_o he_o be_v in_o anguish_n if_o he_o be_v in_o any_o exigent_n

second_o the_o other_o word_n until_o show_v we_o thus_o much_o what_o the_o period_n be_v that_o a_o christian_n set_v himself_o in_o the_o line_n of_o obedience_n it_o have_v the_o same_o period_n that_o donec_fw-la until_o until_o he_o show_v mercy_n shall_v we_o think_v that_o david_n do_v mean_a to_o wait_v on_o god_n until_o he_o have_v mercy_n and_o then_o to_o fix_v his_o eye_n upon_o the_o earth_n again_o no_o much_o more_o then_o therefore_o know_v that_o the_o word_n donec_fw-la in_o scripture_n do_v not_o always_o signify_v a_o determinate_a time_n but_o a_o infinite_a time_n

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

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 scripture_n set_v forth_o to_o we_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o repentance_n in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o by_o this_o one_o phrase_n of_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o there_o be_v no_o phrase_n
