of_o isaiah_n it_o be_v the_o same_o case_n there_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v we_o now_o oh_o there_o be_v a_o confederacy_n a_o confederacy_n and_o many_o people_n do_v join_v together_o against_o

of_o elijah_n if_o you_o read_v the_o 18._o chap._n you_o may_v see_v what_o a_o spirit_n elijah_n have_v he_o will_v appear_v before_o ahab_n as_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n life_n before_o who_o i_o

when_o ahab_n say_v to_o he_o be_v thou_o he_o that_o trouble_v israel_n no_o say_v he_o it_o be_v thou_o and_o thy_o father_n house_n that_o trouble_v israel_n and_o then_o he_o come_v and_o get_v

many_o man_n at_o some_o time_n their_o courage_n make_v their_o adversary_n afraid_a and_o at_o other_o time_n their_o cowardice_n make_v their_o friend_n ashamed_a many_o have_v be_v so_o they_o have_v be_v a_o terror_n to_o their_o adversary_n one_o day_n and_o a_o shame_n to_o their_o friend_n another_o day_n reas_n 1._o because_o we_o have_v much_o flesh_n still_o in_o the_o best_a of_o we_o all_o and_o we_o be_v much_o lead_v by_o sense_n and_o because_o we_o be_v not_o thorough_o skilful_a in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n because_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v so_o weak_a in_o we_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n be_v so_o strong_a and_o therefore_o we_o know_v so_o little_a of_o god_n secret_n the_o secret_n of_o god_n be_v with_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o do_v we_o fear_v god_n more_o we_o shall_v know_v his_o secret_a way_n and_o not_o be_v so_o much_o trouble_v reas_n 2._o because_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o guilt_n rest_v in_o the_o best_a and_o that_o will_v make_v any_o one_o afraid_a where_o there_o be_v much_o guiltiness_n in_o their_o heart_n it_o be_v exceed_o troublesome_a to_o the_o soul_n reas_n 3._o because_o they_o be_v too_o to_o confident_a in_o the_o flesh_n they_o be_v too_o to_o confident_a in_o themselves_o thence_o it_o be_v that_o god_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o they_o and_o at_o what_o time_n they_o be_v afraid_a they_o can_v trust_v in_o god_n as_o david_n it_o be_v a_o admirable_a sweet_a text_n profess_v of_o himself_o that_o at_o what_o time_n he_o be_v afraid_a he_o will_v trust_v in_o god_n there_o be_v many_o a_o man_n that_o for_o the_o present_a think_v he_o can_v trust_v in_o god_n but_o he_o can_v do_v it_o at_o that_o time_n when_o he_o be_v afraid_a psal_n 56.3_o what_o time_n i_o be_o afraid_a i_o will_v trust_v in_o the_o lord_n when_o your_o passion_n come_v than_o you_o make_v no_o use_n of_o your_o faith_n to_o trust_v in_o god_n as_o now_o many_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n can_v be_v meek_a &_o quiet_a till_o they_o have_v a_o temptation_n but_o when_o your_o passion_n be_v up_o can_v you_o be_v meek_a then_o and_o rise_v then_o and_o beat_v it_o down_o with_o the_o
