be_v these_o two_o excellent_a meditation_n from_o thence_o the_o first_o be_v that_o god_n bowel_n of_o compassion_n do_v work_n towards_o his_o church_n because_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o affliction_n obser_n when_o their_o affliction_n shall_v be_v very_o great_a and_o the_o great_a they_o be_v the_o more_o do_v god_n bowel_n of_o compassion_n work_v towards_o they_o we_o know_v the_o

affliction_n of_o my_o people_n and_o their_o sorrow_n and_o therefore_o be_o come_v down_o to_o deliver_v they_o if_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o church_n move_v the_o bowel_n of_o god_n compassion_n then_o let_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o affliction_n hinder_v our_o faith_n let_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o trouble_n reason_n down_o our_o faith_n but_o rather_o let_v it_o reason_v up_o our_o faith_n for_o so_o indeed_o it_o shall_v and_o so_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n heretofore_o have_v do_v by_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o trouble_n we_o must_v reason_v up_o our_o faith_n as_o thus_o it_o be_v â—â—me_n for_o thou_o o_o lord_n to_o work_v for_o man_n have_v almost_o destroy_v thy_o law_n yea_o the_o high_a time_n be_v come_v for_o thou_o to_o have_v mercy_n upon_o zion_n heart_n for_o thy_o people_n begin_v to_o favour_v the_o dust_n thereof_o what_o be_v this_o a_o good_a argument_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o and_o pardon_v my_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v very_o great_a to_o move_v god_n withal_o sure_o then_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n deliver_v we_o in_o our_o affliction_n for_o they_o be_v very_o great_a for_o sin_n make_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o distance_n between_o god_n and_o we_o then_o affliction_n yet_o if_o the_o greatness_n of_o sin_n shall_v come_v to_o be_v put_v as_o a_o argument_n for_o god_n mercy_n and_o compassion_n to_o work_v much_o more_o the_o greatness_n of_o affliction_n yet_o this_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o second_o covenant_n that_o even_o the_o sin_n that_o before_o make_v the_o creature_n the_o object_n of_o hatred_n those_o sin_n come_v now_o to_o make_v it_o a_o object_n of_o compassion_n so_o affliction_n that_o before_o be_v part_n of_o the_o curse_n they_o come_v now_o to_o be_v argument_n for_o the_o move_n of_o the_o bowel_n of_o god_n tender_a compassion_n towards_o his_o people_n another_o note_n if_o you_o read_v it_o so_o for_o great_a be_v their_o affliction_n be_v this_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o only_a support_n of_o the_o soul_n obser_n and_o that_o which_o carry_v it_o through_o the_o great_a affliction_n affliction_n be_v as_o lead_v to_o the_o net_n the_o promise_n be_v as_o the_o cork_n the_o promise_n keep_v above_o water_n when_o the_o lead_n pull_v down_o but_o i_o leave_v these_o meditation_n though_o i_o find_v many_o interpreter_n run_v this_o way_n and_o i_o rather_o take_v it_o as_o a_o further_a expression_n of_o god_n wonderful_a mercy_n unto_o his_o church_n for_o great_a shall_v be_v the_o day_n of_o

for_o a_o ground_n in_o this_o expression_n of_o god_n bring_v into_o the_o wilderness_n the_o prophet_n allude_v unto_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o have_v in_o their_o marriage_n their_o custom_n that_o i_o read_v of_o be_v that_o the_o bridegroom_n use_v to_o take_v his_o bride_n and_o carry_v she_o out_o of_o the_o city_n into_o the_o field_n and_o there_o they_o have_v

to_o their_o heart_n so_o god_n minister_n when_o they_o come_v to_o speak_v in_o god_n name_n shall_v labour_v to_o speak_v so_o as_o to_o do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o speak_v to_o heart_n it_o be_v

kind_n of_o speak_v that_o god_n do_v assist_v so_o as_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n what_o speak_v be_v that_o you_o will_v say_v that_o that_o come_v from_o the_o

yet_o ordinary_o that_o that_o come_v from_o the_o heart_n go_v to_o the_o heart_n therefore_o minister_n when_o they_o come_v to_o speak_v the_o great_a thing_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o shall_v not_o seek_v so_o much_o for_o brave_a word_n and_o entice_a way_n of_o man_n wisdom_n but_o let_v they_o get_v their_o own_o heart_n warm_v with_o that_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o then_o they_o be_v most_o like_a to_o speak_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o their_o auditor_n it_o be_v a_o good_a note_n that_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o from_o ribera_n let_v minister_n remit_v say_v he_o of_o their_o care_n of_o fine_a curious_a word_n ribera_n of_o brave_a neat_a phrase_n and_o cadency_n of_o their_o sentence_n but_o let_v they_o bend_v their_o study_n to_o manifest_a humility_n and_o

sound_a brass_n and_o the_o tinkle_a cymbal_n this_o be_v a_o expression_n even_o of_o a_o jesuit_n it_o be_v then_o a_o great_a shame_n that_o god_n minister_n shall_v not_o labour_v to_o speak_v so_o as_o that_o they_o may_v speak_v to_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n you_o must_v be_v desirous_a of_o such_o kind_n of_o preach_v as_o you_o find_v speak_v to_o your_o heart_n not_o that_o that_o

speak_v to_o they_o but_o when_o you_o find_v a_o ministry_n speak_v to_o your_o heart_n close_o with_o it_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o and_o count_v it_o a_o sad_a day_n when_o you_o go_v from_o a_o
