out_o again_o weak_a and_o wretched_a man_n that_o we_o be_v who_o be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o god_n be_v a_o wise_a god_n and_o what_o more_o fit_a for_o our_o folly_n for_o melius_fw-la

may_v even_o our_o necessity_n enforce_v we_o and_o let_v every_o man_n say_v and_o say_v from_o his_o heart_n o_o lord_n true_o i_o be_o thy_o servant_n i_o be_o thy_o servant_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o my_o first_o observation_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o a_o second_o 2._o as_o god_n be_v our_o lord_n and_o master_n and_o we_o must_v do_v he_o service_n so_o this_o service_n must_v be_v hearty_a and_o sincere_a and_o therefore_o we_o see_v here_o to_o prevent_v all_o suspicion_n of_o hypocrisy_n the_o psalmist_n bind_v himself_o with_o a_o threefold_a cord_n first_o we_o have_v a_o

have_v a_o asseveration_n affix_v unto_o this_o repetition_n o_o lord_n true_o i_o be_o thy_o servant_n i_o be_o thy_o servant_n and_o just_o may_v we_o be_v true_a and_o sincere_a in_o our_o service_n unto_o he_o who_o in_o all_o his_o promise_n be_v so_o sincere_a and_o faithful_a unto_o we_o nay_o therefore_o only_o require_v sincerity_n in_o our_o service_n that_o he_o may_v more_o

when_o as_o the_o strictness_n of_o his_o master_n charge_n may_v have_v put_v he_o in_o mind_n rather_o to_o look_v to_o himself_o all_o which_o sin_n seem_v to_o be_v express_v or_o intimate_v in_o the_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n if_o i_o will_v or_o it_o be_v my_o will_n that_o he_o shall_v tarry_v till_o i_o come_v a_o check_n for_o his_o presumption_n he_o shall_v tarry_v and_o you_o shall_v follow_v i_o a_o check_n for_o his_o repine_n whether_o he_o tarry_v or_o tarry_v not_o what_o be_v that_o to_o thou_o a_o check_n for_o his_o curiosity_n and_o last_o follow_v thou_o i_o
