our_o faith_n and_o patience_n to_o force_v we_o to_o have_v recourse_n to_o he_o in_o our_o affliction_n and_o to_o put_v our_o confidence_n in_o he_o to_o make_v we_o taste_v of_o the_o consolation_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o convince_v we_o that_o his_o good_a providence_n take_v care_n of_o his_o child_n in_o their_o strait_n and_o necessity_n and_o in_o fine_a to_o make_v we_o admire_v the_o wonderful_a deliverance_n he_o vouchsafe_v to_o give_v they_o when_o they_o have_v profit_v by_o his_o chastisement_n and_o have_v glorify_v he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o trial_n and_o therefore_o now_o he_o say_v in_o our_o text_n fear_v not_o thou_o worm_v jacob_n and_o you_o man_n of_o israel_n i_o will_v help_v thou_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o thy_o redeemer_n be_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n now_o to_o understand_v well_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n and_o of_o the_o other_o prophecy_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o be_v to_o

their_o mystical_a sense_n relate_v to_o the_o christian_a church_n which_o be_v israel_n after_o the_o spirit_n and_o moreover_o that_o those_o ancient_a prophecy_n have_v their_o chief_a and_o full_a accomplishment_n no_o where_o but_o in_o the_o christian_a church_n they_o that_o take_v this_o remark_n along_o with_o they_o as_o they_o read_v these_o ancient_a prophecy_n will_v make_v wonderful_a discovery_n of_o what_o shall_v fall_v out_o in_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o general_a they_o will_v find_v there_o that_o the_o christian_n will_v be_v corrupt_v by_o prosperity_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v before_o they_o that_o they_o will_v plunge_v themselves_o even_o in_o the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o that_o afterward_o these_o idolatrous_a christian_n will_v for_o a_o great_a while_n oppress_v the_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n that_o worship_n he_o in_o purity_n according_a to_o his_o word_n but_o that_o god_n will_v relieve_v they_o at_o last_o and_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o all_o their_o trouble_n and_o to_o this_o purpose_n god_n speak_v to_o his_o destitute_a people_n in_o the_o verse_n afore_o my_o text_n fear_v thou_o not_o say_v he_o for_o i_o be_o with_o thou_o be_v not_o dismay_v for_o i_o be_o thy_o god_n i_o will_v strengthen_v thou_o yea_o i_o will_v help_v thou_o yea_o i_o will_v uphold_v thou_o with_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o my_o righteousness_n behold_v all_o they_o that_o be_v incense_v against_o thou_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a and_o confound_v they_o shall_v be_v as_o nothing_o and_o they_o that_o strive_v with_o thou_o shall_v perish_v thou_o shall_v seek_v they_o and_o shall_v not_o find_v they_o even_o they_o that_o contend_v with_o thou_o they_o that_o war_n against_o thou_o shall_v be_v as_o nothing_o and_o as_o a_o thing_n of_o nought_o for_o i_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n will_v hold_v thy_o right_a hand_n say_v unto_o thou_o fear_v not_o i_o will_v help_v thou_o whereupon_o he_o add_v the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n fear_v not_o thou_o worm_v jacob_n and_o you_o man_n of_o israel_n i_o will_v help_v thou_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o thy_o redeemer_n be_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n i_o shall_v confine_v myself_o to_o the_o mystical_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n and_o only_o examine_v they_o as_o they_o may_v relate_v to_o christian_n and_o with_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o i_o have_v already_o implore_v and_o do_v still_o with_o all_o my_o soul_n i_o shall_v consider_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o the_o name_n god_n call_v his_o distress_a people_n by_o thou_o worm_v jacob_n man_n of_o israel_n 2._o the_o consolation_n he_o give_v they_o in_o this_o their_o destitute_a state_n fear_v not_o say_v he_o i_o will_v help_v thou_o and_o thy_o redeemer_n be_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n god_n grant_v my_o belove_a we_o may_v all_o meditate_v on_o these_o thing_n with_o due_a attention_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v receive_v that_o instruction_n and_o comfort_n which_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n hold_v forth_o to_o we_o in_o these_o word_n and_o be_v so_o necessary_a for_o we_o in_o this_o time_n of_o distress_n wherein_o all_o that_o will_v serve_v god_n with_o purity_n according_a to_o his_o word_n suffer_v a_o cruel_a and_o bloody_a persecution_n i._o god_n call_v his_o people_n here_o thou_o worm_v jacob_n or_o jacob_n thou_o be_v but_o a_o worm_n now_o 1._o when_o god_n call_v his_o people_n jacob_n he_o will_v have_v we_o consider_v they_o all_o but_o as_o one_o man_n and_o in_o effect_n all_o the_o faithful_a together_o compose_v but_o one_o mystical_a body_n whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n they_o be_v all_o unite_a by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n they_o be_v all_o member_n of_o one_o another_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o live_v in_o perfect_a unity_n and_o like_o the_o primitive_a christian_n love_v one_o another_o so_o entire_o as_o to_o be_v but_o one_o heart_n and_o one_o soul_n 2._o true_a christian_n be_v call_v jacob_n because_o they_o be_v the_o posterity_n of_o jacob_n after_o the_o spirit_n and_o heir_n of_o his_o faith_n and_o piety_n and_o of_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n make_v to_o he_o of_o old_a jacob_n part_v with_o the_o food_n that_o perish_v that_o he_o may_v obtain_v the_o blessing_n of_o his_o father_n and_o that_o of_o his_o god_n together_o with_o the_o heavenly_a enjoyment_n thereto_o annex_v in_o like_a manner_n the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o abandon_v all_o earthly_a advantage_n that_o they_o may_v have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o glory_n and_o felicity_n of_o heaven_n 3._o believer_n be_v call_v jacob_n because_o their_o condition_n in_o this_o life_n be_v like_a that_o of_o jacob_n for_o as_o jacob_n who_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n be_v heretofore_o persecute_v by_o esau_n his_o elder_a brother_n that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n so_o faithful_a christian_n that_o be_v christian_n after_o the_o spirit_n be_v likewise_o persecute_v by_o antichristian_n who_o be_v christian_n after_o the_o flesh_n these_o wicked_a false_a christian_n reproach_n we_o every_o now_o and_o then_o that_o we_o be_v but_o of_o yesterday_n the_o truth_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o they_o but_o with_o respect_n to_o our_o reformation_n which_o be_v our_o spiritual_a birth_n we_o grant_v they_o be_v in_o a_o sort_n old_a than_o we_o as_o esau_n be_v old_a than_o jacob._n but_o then_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o they_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n as_o esau_n be_v and_o we_o after_o the_o spirit_n as_o jacob_n be_v and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n they_o persecute_v we_o and_o this_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n abel_n that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n be_v persecute_v to_o death_n by_o his_o elder_a brother_n cain_n who_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o isaac_n the_o heir_n of_o the_o promise_n who_o be_v likewise_o persecute_v by_o his_o elder_a brother_n ishmael_n that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n so_o likewise_o the_o prophet_n of_o old_a who_o serve_v god_n with_o purity_n according_a to_o his_o word_n be_v persecute_v by_o the_o jewish_a church_n when_o it_o be_v fall_v into_o idolatry_n we_o ought_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v surprise_v that_o at_o this_o time_n we_o who_o adore_v god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n according_a to_o his_o commandment_n be_v in_o like_a manner_n persecute_v by_o a_o corrupt_a and_o idolatrous_a church_n moreover_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v not_o simple_o call_v jacob_n but_o thou_o worm_v jacob._n and_o in_o effect_n my_o friend_n we_o be_v but_o worm_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o god_n who_o greatness_n know_v no_o bound_n for_o he_o fill_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n heaven_n be_v his_o throne_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v his_o footstool_n we_o be_v but_o dust_n and_o ash_n in_o comparison_n of_o our_o great_a god_n nay_o we_o be_v less_o than_o the_o small_a dust_n of_o the_o balance_n therefore_o he_o call_v we_o worm_n that_o we_o may_v always_o remember_v our_o misery_n and_o nothingness_n that_o we_o may_v always_o humble_v ourselves_o in_o his_o sight_n and_o never_o violate_v that_o respect_n which_o be_v due_a to_o his_o sovereign_a majesty_n but_o evermore_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o religious_a awe_n in_o his_o presence_n further_o we_o be_v but_o worm_n in_o comparison_n of_o our_o enemy_n for_o general_o the_o faithful_a be_v weak_a and_o despicable_a

then_o since_o he_o will_v be_v our_o redeemer_n and_o defender_n he_o command_v we_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o our_o distress_n and_o promise_n to_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v glorify_v he_o let_v we_o then_o make_v he_o our_o refuge_n let_v we_o cry_v to_o he_o continual_o and_o he_o will_v come_v to_o our_o relief_n that_o so_o we_o may_v bless_v he_o for_o it_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n god_n will_v do_v wonder_n for_o our_o sake_n as_o he_o have_v always_o do_v in_o favour_n of_o his_o child_n for_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v rom._n 15.4_o whatsoever_o thing_n be_v write_v afore_o time_n be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n that_o we_o through_o patience_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v have_v hope_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o we_o may_v have_v this_o confidence_n in_o god_n that_o in_o case_n we_o imitate_v the_o faith_n the_o piety_n and_o the_o fidelity_n of_o those_o ancient_a servant_n of_o god_n who_o the_o scripture_n mention_v god_n will_v vouchsafe_v to_o we_o the_o same_o deliverance_n and_o the_o same_o comfort_n as_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o they_o on_o the_o like_a occasion_n he_o will_v restore_v our_o child_n to_o we_o again_o as_o he_o do_v to_o abraham_n of_o old_a he_o will_v preserve_v our_o life_n as_o he_o do_v isaac_n he_o will_v be_v always_o with_o we_o as_o he_o be_v with_o jacob_n and_o give_v we_o the_o same_o protection_n that_o he_o give_v he_o he_o will_v release_v we_o out_o of_o our_o prison_n as_o he_o do_v joseph_n he_o will_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o all_o our_o suffering_n and_o misery_n as_o he_o do_v job_n and_o like_o he_o will_v put_v we_o in_o a_o happy_a condition_n than_o that_o we_o be_v in_o before_o our_o trial_n he_o will_v put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o our_o trouble_n as_o he_o do_v former_o to_o those_o of_o david_n now_o we_o be_v in_o the_o furnace_n as_o the_o three_o believe_a hebrew_n be_v of_o old_a but_o god_n will_v preserve_v we_o as_o he_o do_v they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o flame_n the_o fire_n of_o persecution_n will_v only_o serve_v to_o purify_v we_o and_o to_o consume_v the_o bond_n of_o sin_n within_o we_o and_o he_o will_v bring_v we_o out_o of_o the_o furnace_n of_o affliction_n much_o bright_a than_o we_o be_v before_o now_o we_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o lion_n as_o daniel_n be_v of_o old_a but_o god_n will_v shut_v the_o mouth_n of_o these_o savage_a beast_n he_o will_v repress_v the_o violence_n of_o our_o enemy_n that_o encompass_v we_o about_o on_o all_o side_n and_o come_v not_o behind_o the_o very_a tiger_n and_o lion_n in_o cruelty_n now_o we_o groan_v under_o hard_a bondage_n as_o the_o people_n of_o god_n do_v heretofore_o in_o egypt_n but_o god_n will_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o it_o with_o a_o strong_a hand_n and_o stretch_v out_o arm._n now_o we_o be_v terrify_v with_o the_o power_n of_o our_o enemy_n but_o since_o it_o be_v against_o god_n they_o wage_v war_n god_n tell_v we_o in_o his_o word_n 2_o chr._n 20.15_o that_o the_o battle_n be_v not_o we_o but_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v fight_v for_o we_o himself_o while_o we_o be_v sing_v praise_n to_o his_o holy_a name_n as_o he_o fight_v heretofore_o for_o his_o people_n in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n jehoshaphat_n now_o they_o that_o afflict_v we_o laugh_v at_o we_o for_o put_v our_o confidence_n in_o god_n as_o if_o he_o be_v not_o strong_a enough_o to_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o their_o hand_n but_o god_n will_v send_v a_o angel_n to_o destroy_v they_o as_o he_o do_v the_o army_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o assyrian_n who_o blaspheme_v the_o lord_n and_o ridicule_v they_o that_o put_v their_o confidence_n in_o he_o as_o we_o read_v isa_n 36._o for_o this_o end_n my_o belove_a brethren_n let_v we_o live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n let_v we_o obey_v his_o holy_a commandment_n be_v faithful_a to_o he_o confess_v his_o truth_n and_o continual_o implore_v his_o mercy_n favour_n and_o relief_n and_o this_o god_n will_v hear_v our_o cry_n will_v hearken_v to_o our_o prayer_n will_v plead_v our_o cause_n will_v help_v and_o deliver_v we_o will_v fill_v we_o with_o his_o grace_n and_o comfort_n will_v load_v we_o with_o his_o benefit_n and_o will_v one_o day_n take_v we_o up_o to_o heaven_n to_o ma●●_n we_o happy_a for_o ever_o with_o himself_o which_o god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n grant_v now_o to_o he_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n one_o only_a god_n beless_v for_o ever_o be_v honour_n and_o glory_n world_n without_o end_n amen_n preach_v in_o several_a place_n in_o the_o wilderness_n july_n 23_o and_o 31._o 1692._o and_o septemb_n 14._o 1693._o finis_fw-la
