to_o these_o the_o scripture_n do_v allude_v and_o by_o this_o you_o may_v be_v help_v to_o understand_v divers_a place_n of_o scripture_n illustrate_v in_o isa_n 2._o 19_o and_o they_o shall_v go_v

so_o that_o scripture_n in_o psal_n 11._o 1._o in_o the_o lord_n put_v i_o my_o trust_n how_o say_v you_o to_o my_o soul_n flee_v as_o a_o bird_n to_o your_o mountain_n in_o time_n of_o danger_n they_o be_v wont_a to_o flee_v to_o those_o mountain_n manner_n and_o so_o in_o psal_n 121._o 1._o i_o will_v lift_v up_o my_o eye_n unto_o the_o hill_n from_o whence_o come_v my_o help_n not_o only_o to_o the_o temple_n but_o to_o the_o hill_n because_o in_o time_n of_o danger_n they_o be_v wont_a to_o think_v of_o the_o hill_n but_o say_v david_n i_o lift_v up_o my_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o that_o shall_v be_v to_o i_o instead_o of_o a_o hundred_o hole_n in_o hill_n same_o and_o in_o psal_n 36._o 6._o thy_o righteousness_n be_v like_o the_o great_a mountain_n it_o be_v not_o only_a because_o the_o mountain_n stand_v steady_o and_o strong_o but_o because_o the_o mountain_n be_v place_n of_o refuge_n and_o shelter_n so_o the_o saint_n have_v refuge_n in_o the_o faithfulness_n of_o god_n as_o they_o do_v run_v to_o the_o hole_n in_o the_o mountain_n and_o therefore_o god_n be_v call_v a_o strong_a rock_n that_o the_o righteous_a run_v to_o why_o not_o only_o because_o a_o rock_n be_v strong_a and_o can_v be_v remove_v yea_o but_o what_o safety_n be_v there_o suppose_v a_o man_n run_v to_o the_o rock_n can_v the_o enemy_n follow_v he_o and_o take_v he_o in_o the_o rock_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o only_o mean_v when_o it_o be_v say_v god_n be_v as_o a_o rock_n not_o only_o because_o the_o faithfulness_n of_o god_n be_v steady_a as_o a_o rock_n but_o because_o they_o have_v cave_n and_o hole_n in_o the_o rock_n that_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o run_v to_o in_o time_n of_o danger_n therefore_o god_n be_v call_v a_o rock_n 4._o and_o so_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o

22_o in_o psal_n 94._o 22._o but_o the_o lord_n be_v my_o defence_n and_o my_o god_n be_v the_o rock_n of_o my_o refuge_n but_o yet_o further_o that_o we_o may_v understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o expression_n because_o when_o in_o time_n of_o danger_n they_o run_v to_o the_o mountain_n and_o to_o the_o rock_n and_o holes_n into_o their_o cave_n they_o consider_v when_o they_o be_v

that_o it_o shall_v sink_v down_o and_o fall_v upon_o i_o than_o the_o enemy_n shall_v take_v i_o and_o this_o hill_n that_o i_o be_o get_v into_o a_o hole_n of_o for_o my_o refuge_n it_o be_v well_o if_o this_o shall_v sink_v down_o and_o press_v i_o to_o nothing_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o phrase_n &_o the_o rise_n of_o it_o they_o despise_v the_o mountain_n of_o

there_o be_v these_o note_n first_o 1._o oh_o the_o alteration_n that_o god_n can_v make_v in_o city_n and_o kingdom_n they_o who_o be_v proud_a and_o scornful_a ere_o while_n be_v now_o so_o
