as_o the_o 38_o psalm_n be_v a_o psalm_n to_o call_v to_o remembrance_n only_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o that_o psalm_n call_v misery_n and_o this_o psalm_n call_v mercy_n to_o remembrance_n which_o be_v so_o much_o the_o sweet_a to_o be_v remember_v it_o be_v pen_v on_o a_o occasion_n and_o to_o a_o end_n like_o this_o for_o which_o we_o be_v meet_v this_o day_n to_o make_v a_o thankful_a acknowledgement_n and_o a_o pious_a commemoration_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o the_o state_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n the_o vessel_n in_o which_o all_o our_o interest_n be_v embark_v let_v we_o then_o give_v thanks_o to_o the_o lord_n who_o remember_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o word_n which_o may_v have_v for_o

low_a estate_n wherein_o you_o may_v observe_v 1._o the_o mercy_n itself_o in_o this_o word_n remember_v 2._o the_o author_n of_o this_o mercy_n in_o this_o word_n who_o who_o be_v this_o who_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o first_o verse_n the_o god_n of_o god_n in_o the_o second_o verse_n the_o lord_n of_o lord_n in_o the_o three_o verse_n who_o remember_v we_o 3._o you_o have_v the_o object_n of_o

remember_v this_o people_n and_o that_o be_v in_o their_o low_a estate_n who_o remember_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n second_o you_o have_v a_o account_n here_o of_o the_o true_a reason_n and_o

which_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o be_v to_o run_v in_o common_a to_o every_o verse_n o_o give_v thanks_o unto_o the_o lord_n who_o remember_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o from_o this_o analysis_n or_o resolution_n of_o the_o word_n you_o have_v these_o four_o observable_a proposition_n 1._o that_o god_n israel_n god_n own_o people_n a_o people_n that_o be_v near_o and_o dear_a to_o he_o may_v yet_o be_v in_o a_o low_a estate_n we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n 2._o god_n remember_v his_o people_n in_o their_o low_a estate_n quoties_fw-la premebamur_fw-la as_o one_o word_n it_o as_o often_o as_o ever_o we_o be_v low_a god_n remember_v we_o when_o ever_o our_o estate_n be_v low_a or_o whatever_o our_o low_a estate_n be_v god_n remember_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n who_o remember_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n 3._o the_o reason_n why_o god_n remember_v his_o people_n in_o their_o low_a estate_n be_v because_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o he_o remember_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o 4._o god_n remember_v his_o people_n in_o their_o low_a estate_n lay_v a_o obligation_n upon_o they_o to_o give_v thanks_o to_o the_o lord_n o_o give_v thanks_o unto_o the_o lord_n who_o remember_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o the_o two_o first_o of_o these_o will_v take_v up_o the_o doctrinal_a discourse_n the_o three_o of_o these_o will_v be_v the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o discourse_n and_o the_o last_o the_o application_n of_o the_o whole_a then_o we_o shall_v say_v o_o give_v thanks_o unto_o the_o lord_n when_o we_o have_v prove_v that_o he_o remember_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n and_o that_o because_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o this_o then_o be_v the_o method_n which_o i_o shall_v observe_v first_o i_o shall_v open_v and_o explain_v the_o term_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v this_o truth_n second_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o proposition_n that_o we_o may_v believe_v it_o and_o three_o apply_v it_o that_o we_o may_v improve_v it_o which_o be_v the_o mercy_n of_o all_o our_o mercy_n for_o the_o explanation_n of_o the_o content_n here_o i_o shall_v propound_v only_o two_o question_n 1._o when_o may_v a_o people_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o a_o low_a estate_n 2._o what_o it_o be_v for_o god_n to_o remember_v his_o people_n in_o their_o low_a estate_n first_o when_o may_v a_o people_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o a_o low_a estate_n some_o read_v it_o when_o we_o be_v deject_v and_o cast_v down_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v when_o we_o be_v faithless_a through_o fear_n when_o we_o be_v so_o overwhelm_v that_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v when_o we_o be_v hopeless_a and_o least_o of_o all_o look_v for_o help_v than_o god_n remember_v we_o and_o the_o thing_n we_o fear_v come_v not_o upon_o we_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o we_o above_o all_o that_o we_o can_v ask_v or_o think_v but_o i_o do_v not_o nor_o shall_v handle_v it_o in_o this_o sense_n only_o let_v i_o say_v that_o god_n people_n be_v sometime_o in_o this_o low_a estate_n low_a in_o faith_n low_a in_o hope_n and_o yet_o god_n remember_v they_o so_o great_a be_v his_o goodness_n and_o our_o thankfulness_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o but_o a_o people_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o a_o low_a estate_n either_o 1._o actual_o or_o 2._o potential_o first_o actual_o and_o that_o more_o general_o when_o they_o be_v in_o affliction_n and_o misery_n when_o they_o taste_v the_o wormwood_n and_o the_o gall_n as_o jeremiah_n pathetical_o express_v it_o in_o his_o lamentation_n when_o they_o be_v in_o want_n when_o they_o be_v low_a in_o estate_n or_o when_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o psal_n 107.39_o they_o be_v diminish_v and_o from_o a_o high_a degree_n from_o a_o wealthy_a estate_n they_o be_v bring_v low_o through_o oppression_n affliction_n and_o sorrow_n when_o a_o people_n be_v under_o all_o or_o either_o of_o these_o oppression_n affliction_n or_o sorrow_n they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o a_o low_a estate_n but_o more_o especial_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v low_a with_o reference_n to_o the_o text_n when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o enemy_n hand_n that_o be_v when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o enemy_n power_n as_o we_o may_v gather_v from_o the_o follow_a verse_n who_o have_v redeem_v we_o from_o our_o enemy_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o this_o be_v reckon_v to_o be_v their_o low_a estate_n in_o 2_o chron._n 28.18.19_o the_o philistine_n also_o

over_o they_o and_o take_v possession_n of_o their_o possession_n thus_o you_o have_v it_o also_o in_o psal_n 79.7_o 8._o for_o they_o have_v devour_v jacob_n and_o lay_v waste_v his_o dwell_a place_n o_o remember_v not_o against_o we_o former_a iniquity_n let_v thy_o tender_a mercy_n speedy_o prevent_v we_o for_o we_o be_v bring_v very_o low_a this_o be_v the_o lowness_n of_o their_o condition_n that_o their_o enemy_n have_v devour_v jacob_n and_o lay_v waste_v his_o dwell_a place_n but_o this_o be_v not_o our_o case_n through_o mercy_n this_o be_v not_o our_o low_a estate_n yet_o again_o

do_v not_o god_n remember_v israel_n in_o their_o low_a estate_n and_o do_v not_o god_n remember_v david_n in_o his_o low_a estate_n nay_o to_o speak_v of_o all_o at_o once_o do_v not_o god_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

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

come_v now_o to_o the_o application_n first_o then_o it_o will_v afford_v we_o a_o information_n second_o some_o exhortation_n the_o information_n be_v this_o do_v god_n remember_v his_o people_n in_o
