see_v nothing_o but_o their_o own_o grief_n and_o every_o man_n have_v experience_n of_o this_o in_o himself_o to_o much_o when_o any_o evyll_n have_v cast_v we_o down_o altogether_o we_o can_v not_o

thereunto_o now_o let_v we_o return_v to_o the_o king_n ezechias_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o he_o have_v some_o special_a reason_n in_o himself_o why_o he_o so_o complain_v of_o death_n which_o

render_v himself_o mild_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n how_o come_v it_o then_o to_o pass_v that_o he_o write_v thus_o it_o be_v because_o he_o conceive_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n whether_o it_o

with_o sleyghte_n and_o mean_n of_o excuse_n but_o with_o frank_a and_o free_a confession_n and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o only_o make_v with_o mouth_n or_o assent_v by_o writing_n but_o that_o we_o be_v wound_v even_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o herte_n feel_v what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v do_v against_o the_o will_n of_o our_o god_n to_o have_v stir_v he_o up_o against_o we_o &_o to_o

because_o god_n do_v punish_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n yea_o and_o this_o we_o ought_v to_o mark_v well_o that_o though_o before_o he_o have_v protest_v that_o he_o have_v walk_v in_o purity_n and_o

not_o to_o grudge_v at_o it_o as_o if_o he_o do_v we_o wrong_n as_o if_o he_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o our_o merit_n or_o as_o if_o he_o use_v great_a sharpness_n with_o we_o than_o we_o have_v

that_o be_v here_o set_v before_o we_o of_o the_o king_n ezechias_n for_o we_o have_v seen_v here_o before_o how_o he_o have_v frame_v all_o his_o life_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n he_o have_v a_o

this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v to_o conceive_v of_o this_o place_n now_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o passion_n that_o ezechias_n endure_v and_o although_o he_o slip_v here_o of_o the_o henge_n yet_o still_o in_o the_o midst_n thereof_o he_o declare_v the_o love_n that_o he_o have_v to_o god_n and_o that_o he_o desire_v not_o this_o present_a life_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o they_o that_o

for_o a_o while_n but_o ezechias_n show_v well_o that_o he_o be_v guide_v by_o a_o other_o spirit_n he_o sayethe_v i_o have_v say_v in_o the_o cut_n short_a of_o my_o day_n i_o shall_v go_v down_o

also_o be_v often_o among_o the_o complaint_n of_o job._n but_o it_o signify_v also_o to_o refresh_v and_o all_o come_v to_o one_o point_n to_o wit_n as_o we_o have_v touch_v before_o that_o ezechias_n know_v that_o he_o have_v no_o strength_n and_o that_o he_o must_v needs_o perish_v as_o touch_v himself_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v declare_v that_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o satisfy_v

lord_n i_o can_v no_o more_o so_o i_o beseech_v thou_o that_o thou_o will_v ease_v i_o loe_o this_o it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v of_o this_o place_n but_o it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o be_v not_o always_o press_v as_o ezechias_n be_v but_o how_o soever_o it_o be_v though_o the_o constraint_n be_v not_o so_o violent_a yet_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v spoil_v and_o void_a of_o all_o false_a persuasion_n of_o our_o own_o strength_n that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v as_o he_o be_v worthy_a and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n as_o i_o have_v say_v let_v we_o follow_v with_o our_o prayer_n and_o request_n unto_o god_n though_o we_o be_v so_o vanquysh_v that_o we_o have_v not_o one_o whit_n of_o strengthe_n in_o we_o let_v we_o nevertheless_o have_v our_o recourse_n to_o our_o

for_o he_o that_o have_v speak_v have_v also_o do_v it_o here_o some_o think_v that_o ezechias_n will_v now_o rejoice_v feel_v the_o delyveraunce_n which_o god_n have_v send_v he_o that_o he_o break_v all_o his_o complaint_n which_o he_o use_v and_o that_o now_o he_o have_v his_o mouth_n open_a to_o confess_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n but_o the_o natural_a meaning_n of_o the_o text_n bear_v it_o

in_o all_o the_o psalm_n where_o there_o be_v some_o declaration_n of_o the_o chastisemente_n which_o god_n send_v either_o to_o david_n or_o to_o his_o other_o servant_n then_o when_o god_n have_v so_o sharp_o afflict_v his_o people_n there_o have_v be_v such_o like_a request_n as_o now_o and_o then_o the_o faythefull_a enterlace_n always_o i_o wot_v not_o how_o as_o if_o they_o be_v utter_o cast_v away_o so_o do_v ezechias_n now_o 39_o and_o there_o be_v a_o example_n very_o like_a in_o the_o nine_o and_o thirtye_n psalm_n which_o we_o have_v already_o allege_v for_o there_o david_n also_o acknowlege_v that_o he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n it_o be_v then_o much_o to_o know_v that_o man_n persecute_v he_o but_o when_o he_o see_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n to_o be_v against_o he_o i_o may_v not_o say_v he_o come_v to_o plede_n here_o nor_o to_o pursue_v action_n there_o be_v nothing_o better_a for_o i_o than_o utter_o to_o keep_v silence_n and_o take_v the_o condemnation_n upon_o i_o and_o in_o job_n we_o see_v many_o such_o like_a complaint_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o meaning_n of_o ezechias_n what_o shall_v i_o say_v it_o be_v he_o which_o have_v say_v and_o

contrariwyse_o ezechias_n show_v we_o here_o that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o hear_v we_o we_o must_v open_v all_o our_o passion_n and_o sorrow_n before_o he_o that_o we_o may_v be_v

it_o be_v true_a that_o such_o disputation_n procee_v of_o infidelity_n but_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v in_o fidelity_n in_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o our_o faith_n may_v

thus_o have_v i_o tell_v you_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v arm_v when_o we_o be_v to_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o as_o we_o have_v need_n in_o all_o extremity_n to_o run_v unto_o our_o god_n so_o
