god_n oftentimes_o defer_v his_o help_n till_o great_a necessity_n touch_v the_o first_o namely_o that_o god_n withdraw_v himself_o &_o his_o gracious_a help_n from_o his_o child_n to_o make_v they_o the_o more_o earnest_n in_o seek_v to_o he_o we_o have_v the_o confession_n of_o christ_n own_o spouse_n who_o open_v the_o door_n of_o her_o hart_n to_o her_o well-beloved_a that_o be_v now_o past_a

notwithstanding_o fall_v grievous_o do_v fall_v dangerous_o so_o that_o for_o a_o time_n they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n but_o this_o miss_n of_o god_n presence_n and_o favour_n make_v they_o the_o more_o earnest_n in_o seek_v to_o he_o so_o the_o spouse_n seek_v and_o never_o leave_v seek_v till_o she_o have_v find_v her_o best-beloved_a and_o david_n wait_v and_o never_o

withdraw_v himself_o &_o his_o gracious_a help_n from_o his_o child_n to_o make_v they_o the_o more_o earnest_n in_o seek_v to_o he_o the_o second_o be_v this_o god_n oftentimes_o defer_v his_o help_n
