this_o be_v in_o the_o text_n too_o it_o be_v the_o very_a ground_n of_o the_o text_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o if_o this_o be_v not_o easy_a short_a and_o sweet_a enough_o why_o then_o divide_v the_o text_n and_o the_o part_n of_o it_o will_v be_v more_o facile_a for_o the_o understanding_n more_o portable_a for_o the_o memory_n and_o more_o toothsomme_v to_o the_o

first_o a_o exhortation_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o thankfulness_n o_o give_v thanks_o unto_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n and_o second_o a_o persuasion_n to_o do_v that_o duty_n for_o if_o any_o one_o

to_o the_o affection_n of_o miserable_a man_n as_o the_o mercy_n of_o a_o pitiful_a god_n or_o if_o you_o will_v enlarge_v it_o to_o make_v it_o more_o delightsome_a to_o the_o affection_n and_o more_o plain_a to_o the_o understanding_n though_o a_o little_a more_o cumbersome_a to_o the_o memory_n then_o you_o have_v in_o the_o exhortation_n these_o three_o particular_n first_o the_o passion_n of_o the_o delivery_n oh_o not_o simple_o do_v it_o but_o oh_o do_v it_o second_o the_o ingemination_n of_o the_o duty_n oh_o give_v thanks_o in_o the_o beginning_n and_o oh_o give_v thanks_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o psalm_n three_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o object_n not_o to_o the_o king_n of_o man_n not_o to_o the_o god_n of_o the_o heathen_a no_o but_o to_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n or_o the_o heavenly_a god_n then_o again_o in_o the_o persuasion_n you_o have_v these_o four_o particular_n first_o what_o it_o be_v to_o endure_v for_o ever_o if_o you_o do_v not_o ask_v that_o question_n you_o will_v hardly_o understand_v what_o it_o mean_v how_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o second_o how_o this_o be_v true_a his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o for_o if_o you_o do_v not_o know_v that_o to_o be_v true_a or_o how_o that_o be_v true_a the_o affection_n will_v by_o and_o by_o grow_v nauseous_a three_o why_o david_n choose_v rather_o this_o than_o judgement_n if_o you_o read_v the_o psalm_n and_o read_v therein_o he_o overthrow_v pharaoh_n in_o the_o red_a sea_n 15._o verse_n 15._o he_o slay_v famous_a king_n 18._o verse_n 18._o or_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o time_n and_o therein_o see_v the_o plague_n why_o it_o may_v as_o well_o stand_v one_o will_v think_v his_o judgement_n endure_v for_o ever_o and_o then_o fourthly_a and_o last_o why_o the_o prophet_n repeat_v this_o so_o often_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o twenty_o six_o time_n in_o this_o one_o psalm_n and_o when_o you_o understand_v this_o it_o will_v make_v the_o
