which_o of_o the_o saint_n shall_v we_o turn_v who_o can_v say_v of_o all_o the_o son_n of_o jacob_n that_o god_n have_v forget_v they_o do_v not_o god_n remember_v joseph_n in_o his_o low_a estate_n

that_o song_n and_o sing_v it_o in_o the_o 124_o psalm_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o lord_n who_o be_v on_o our_o side_n now_o may_v england_n say_v if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o lord_n who_o be_v on_o our_o side_n when_o man_n rise_v up_o against_o we_o than_o they_o have_v swallow_v we_o up_o quick_a when_o their_o wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o we_o than_o the_o water_n have_v overwhelm_v we_o the_o stream_n have_v go_v over_o our_o soul_n than_o the_o proud_a water_n have_v go_v over_o our_o soul_n bless_v be_v the_o lord_n who_o have_v not_o give_v we_o as_o a_o prey_n to_o their_o tooth_n our_o soul_n be_v escape_v as_o a_o bird_n out_o of_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o fowler_n the_o snare_n be_v break_v and_o we_o be_v escape_v our_o help_n be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n this_o may_v we_o say_v thus_o may_v we_o sing_v be_v it_o not_o so_o be_v there_o a_o contradiction_n to_o be_v make_v against_o this_o truth_n nay_o my_o belove_a the_o case_n be_v this_o that_o if_o god_n have_v not_o be_v on_o our_o side_n we_o have_v be_v swallow_v up_o quick_a and_o our_o not_o be_v so_o show_v god_n on_o our_o side_n that_o god_n remember_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n i_o shall_v therefore_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n remember_v his_o people_n in_o their_o low_a estate_n that_o be_v as_o in_o the_o text_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o he_o harp_v only_o on_o this_o string_n he_o reckon_v up_o a_o long_a catalogue_n of_o many_o mercy_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o these_o be_v mercy_n only_a mercy_n the_o reason_n of_o one_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o all_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o mercy_n but_o mercy_n no_o reason_n for_o grace_n but_o grace_n who_o be_v gracious_a why_o because_o he_o will_v and_o to_o who_o he_o will_v be_v gracious_a so_o that_o you_o see_v that_o mercy_n in_o god_n be_v all_o the_o reason_n of_o mercy_n from_o god_n to_o man_n in_o his_o low_a estate_n it_o be_v not_o man_n merit_n but_o god_n mercy_n it_o be_v not_o man_n due_a but_o god_n gift_n it_o be_v not_o man_n demand_n nor_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n man_n desire_n but_o god_n grant_v who_o many_o time_n answer_v before_o they_o call_v and_o when_o they_o be_v yet_o speak_v he_o be_v hear_v it_o be_v not_o man_n measure_n but_o god_n allowance_n it_o be_v not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n who_o use_v to_o go_v over_o where_o the_o stile_n be_v low_a this_o be_v not_o because_o man_n can_v make_v god_n a_o requital_n but_o because_o god_n will_v act_v like_o himself_o it_o be_v not_o god_n profit_n but_o man_n necessity_n it_o be_v not_o that_o god_n need_v man_n but_o man_n need_v god_n therefore_o grace_n still_o be_v as_o free_v after_o it_o be_v receive_v as_o it_o be_v before_o it_o be_v give_v it_o be_v not_o deserve_v and_o can_v be_v requite_v god_n therefore_o give_v as_o look_v for_o nothing_o again_o that_o be_v nothing_o that_o can_v requite_v it_o and_o you_o shall_v have_v for_o this_o a_o double_a witness_n god_n speak_v it_o and_o saint_n speak_v it_o that_o god_n show_v not_o mercy_n to_o man_n because_o man_n please_v he_o but_o because_o mercy_n please_v he_o indeed_o one_o end_n that_o god_n have_v in_o show_v mercy_n be_v that_o man_n shall_v please_v he_o but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o main_a motive_n for_o in_o truth_n to_o put_v man_n will_n before_o god_n be_v such_o a_o hysteron_fw-gr proteron_fw-gr that_o if_o i_o may_v use_v so_o homely_a a_o expression_n in_o so_o solemn_a a_o case_n i_o say_v it_o be_v to_o put_v the_o cart_n before_o the_o horse_n you_o shall_v find_v god_n speak_v ezek._n 36.21_o 22_o 23._o but_o i_o
