then_o for_o himself_o to_o suffer_v their_o indignity_n and_o provocation_n nor_o do_v he_o aim_v a_o whit_n at_o satisfaction_n for_o that_o he_o have_v receive_v from_o christ_n to_o the_o

it_o be_v that_o he_o deal_v moderate_o with_o they_o according_a as_o he_o find_v their_o strength_n and_o case_n to_o be_v yet_o he_o may_v not_o kill_v but_o cure_v they_o he_o do_v so_o chastise_v his_o people_n as_o that_o he_o do_v not_o loose_v the_o weak_a of_o they_o by_o the_o extremity_n or_o length_n of_o the_o affliction_n that_o he_o lay_v upon_o they_o the_o rod_n of_o trouble_n

this_o for_o clear_a of_o the_o former_a member_n of_o the_o point_n it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o punish_v his_o people_n to_o abate_v and_o to_o be_v very_o moderate_a but_o now_o my_o brethren_n on_o the_o otherside_n when_o he_o deliver_v they_o and_o show_v they_o mercy_n it_o be_v his_o manner_n to_o exceed_v and_o to_o transcend_v all_o measure_n then_o he_o take_v his_o full_a scope_n and_o do_v not_o bind_v and_o stint_v himself_o as_o in_o the_o former_a no_o he_o bestow_v upon_o his_o people_n superlative_a and_o matchless_a mercy_n and_o salvation_n he_o

the_o holy_a ghost_n affirm_v of_o the_o spice_n which_o the_o aethiopian_a queen_n present_v to_o king_n solomon_n 2_o chron._n 9.9_o there_o be_v not_o any_o such_o spice_n so_o there_o be_v never_o such_o mercy_n in_o deliver_v the_o lord_n sometime_o out-dares_a himself_o in_o show_v mercy_n do_v rare_a and_o singular_a and_o extraordinary_a thing_n such_o as_o he_o be_v not_o wont_a to_o do_v at_o other_o time_n such_o as_o his_o people_n be_v not_o able_a to_o express_v as_o david_n speak_v psal_n 106.2_o who_o can_v utter_v the_o great_a and_o mighty_a act_n of_o god_n who_o can_v show_v forth_o all_o his_o praise_n such_o as_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o believe_v no_o they_o seem_v like_o man_n that_o dream_v as_o israel_n do_v psal_n 126.1_o such_o as_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o imagine_v he_o do_v abundant_o above_o all_o that_o they_o can_v think_v as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v eph._n 6.20_o nay_o to_o go_v high_a yet_o such_o as_o they_o be_v not_o able_a in_o some_o

his_o heart_n faint_v gen._n 45.26_o so_o god_n sometime_o give_v such_o transcendent_a mercy_n and_o deliverance_n to_o his_o people_n that_o their_o heart_n faint_v within_o they_o they_o have_v not_o strength_n enough_o to_o bear_v the_o sudden_a flush_a of_o joy_n that_o come_v break_v in_o upon_o they_o he_o load_v they_o yea_o over_o load_v they_o with_o benefit_n power_n out_o upon_o they_o such_o a_o heap_n of_o mercy_n as_o they_o can_v stand_v under_o and_o whether_o the_o deliverance_n of_o this_o day_n be_v such_o a_o signal_n one_o such_o a_o deliverance_n as_o this_o such_o as_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o express_v such_o as_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o believe_v nor_o to_o imagine_v nor_o to_o bear_v almost_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o yourselves_o my_o brethren_n to_o consider_v ah_o my_o belove_a when_o you_o be_v first_o inform_v that_o relief_n be_v come_v and_o that_o the_o enemy_n be_v draw_v off_o the_o town_n tell_v i_o how_o it_o fare_v with_o you_o be_v not_o the_o joy_n too_o great_a for_o you_o too_o large_a for_o those_o poor_a heart_n of_o you_o to_o hold_v do_v it_o not_o stretch_v they_o and_o dilate_v they_o overmuch_o so_o that_o your_o spirit_n even_o faint_v in_o you_o i_o know_v when_o you_o reflect_v upon_o those_o day_n of_o old_a you_o will_v seal_v to_o this_o truth_n that_o when_o the_o lord_n deliver_v he_o and_o show_v they_o mercy_n it_o be_v his_o manner_n to_o exceed_v etc._n etc._n and_o this_o he_o do_v for_o many_o reason_n i_o shall_v name_v a_o few_o of_o they_o etc._n etc._n 1._o the_o condition_n of_o his_o people_n may_v be_v such_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o they_o it_o may_v be_v necessary_a that_o god_n stretch_v himself_o a_o little_a and_o go_v beyond_o himself_o i_o mean_v his_o ordinary_a course_n in_o their_o deliverance_n unless_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o exceed_v it_o will_v not_o reach_v they_o to_o be_v beneficial_a to_o they_o as_o there_o be_v sin_n of_o divers_a size_n and_o punishment_n of_o divers_a size_n so_o there_o be_v mercy_n and_o deliverance_n of_o divers_a size_n too_o and_o one_o of_o they_o must_v be_v proportion_v to_o the_o other_o if_o the_o affliction_n and_o distress_n be_v of_o the_o large_a size_n so_o must_v the_o deliverance_n be_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o god_n sometime_o make_v the_o salvation_n of_o his_o people_n out_o of_o measure_n great_a because_o their_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n have_v be_v so_o such_o a_o distress_n must_v have_v such_o a_o deliverance_n 2._o when_o god_n deliver_v he_o and_o show_v they_o mercy_n it_o be_v his_o manner_n sometime_o to_o exceed_v etc._n etc._n that_o he_o may_v make_v they_o recompense_v for_o their_o former_a misery_n and_o even_o as_o joseph_n when_o he_o have_v deal_v somewhat_o rough_o and_o unkind_o with_o his_o brethren_n for_o a_o while_n and_o use_v they_o so_o as_o if_o be_v have_v forget_v all_o affection_n and_o relation_n to_o they_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n his_o bowel_n yearn_v upon_o they_o so_o that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o contain_v himself_o and_o then_o he_o open_v all_o his_o heart_n and_o show_v his_o love_n more_o full_o to_o they_o then_o he_o have_v ever_o do_v before_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v deal_v a_o while_n severe_o with_o his_o people_n as_o they_o think_v though_o it_o be_v always_o less_o than_o their_o iniquity_n deserve_v and_o when_o he_o see_v they_o likely_a to_o be_v swallow_v up_o of_o sorrow_n and_o despair_n than_o his_o bowel_n work_v within_o he_o and_o he_o can_v hold_v no_o long_o but_o be_v overcome_v and_o out_o he_o break_v into_o such_o sweet_a and_o melt_a declaration_n of_o his_o love_n as_o come_v not_o from_o he_o at_o another_o time_n when_o he_o perceive_v his_o people_n at_o the_o point_n to_o sink_v and_o to_o be_v overcome_v in_o their_o affliction_n he_o labour_v to_o revive_v and_o cheer_v they_o up_o again_o with_o more_o than_o ordinary_a revelation_n and_o discovery_n of_o his_o mercy_n he_o see_v the_o spirit_n will_v fail_v before_o he_o and_o the_o soul_n that_o he_o have_v make_v if_o he_o shall_v be_v always_o wroth_a and_o if_o he_o shall_v contend_v for_o ever_o isa_n 57.16_o and_o therefore_o as_o the_o love_a father_n when_o he_o perceive_v the_o child_n about_o to_o swoon_n while_o he_o be_v lay_v on_o upon_o it_o present_o let_v
