of_o break_a heart_n whereof_o david_n speak_v psal_n 51.17_o which_o sacrifice_n of_o a_o wound_a break_a heart_n by_o the_o knife_n of_o repentance_n please_v god_n wondrous_o well_o and_o then_o

our_o lip_n but_o especial_o to_o praise_v he_o whence_o the_o point_n be_v that_o the_o yield_a of_o praise_n to_o god_n be_v a_o wondrous_a acceptable_a sacrifice_n which_o be_v instead_o of_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n than_o which_o the_o great_a can_v do_v no_o more_o nor_o the_o least_o less_o for_o it_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n but_o to_o open_v it_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o our_o lip_n for_o the_o praise_n we_o yield_v to_o god_n it_o must_v be_v beget_v in_o the_o heart_n hereupon_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d speech_n signify_v both_o reason_n and_o speech_n there_o be_v one_o word_n in_o the_o learned_a language_n for_o both_o because_o speech_n be_v nothing_o but_o that_o stream_n

o_o you_o heaven_n so_o when_o we_o say_v god_n be_v praise_v when_o yet_o our_o life_n speak_v the_o contrary_a it_o be_v a_o dishonour_n of_o god_n so_o the_o praise_n of_o our_o lip_n must_v be_v

of_o canaan_n and_o david_n when_o he_o have_v number_v the_o people_n god_n be_v angry_a with_o he_o and_o with_o the_o corinthian_n also_o for_o unreverent_a receive_n of_o the_o lords-supper_n

but_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v quest_n in_o time_n of_o affliction_n how_o may_v we_o know_v god_n anger_n to_o be_v remoove_v when_o yet_o we_o endure_v the_o affliction_n answ_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o god_n be_v infinite_o wise_a and_o in_o one_o affliction_n have_v many_o end_n as_o 1._o when_o he_o afflict_v they_o it_o be_v to_o correct_v they_o for_o their_o sin_n after_o which_o when_o they_o have_v pull_v out_o the_o sting_n of_o sin_n by_o confession_n and_o humiliation_n if_o affliction_n continue_v his_o anger_n do_v not_o continue_v 2._o affliction_n sometime_o be_v for_o a_o exercise_n of_o patience_n and_o faith_n and_o trial_n of_o their_o grace_n and_o for_o the_o exemplary_a manifestation_n to_o other_o of_o god_n goodness_n to_o they_o but_o even_o then_o they_o may_v know_v that_o thing_n come_v not_o in_o anger_n unto_o they_o by_o this_o continue_v how_o to_o know_v affliction_n be_v not_o in_o wrath_n though_o they_o continue_v that_o after_o repentance_n god_n speak_v peace_n unto_o their_o conscience_n so_o that_o though_o the_o grievance_n continue_v it_o be_v with_o much_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o peace_n of_o conscience_n in_o which_o case_n the_o soul_n know_v that_o it_o be_v for_o other_o end_n that_o god_n continue_v it_o therefore_o the_o first_o thing_n in_o any_o affliction_n be_v to_o remove_v away_o the_o core_n and_o sting_n thereof_o by_o humble_v ourselves_o as_o the_o church_n here_o do_v after_o which_o our_o conscience_n will_v be_v at_o peace_n for_o other_o thing_n god_n have_v many_o end_n in_o correct_v we_o he_o will_v humble_v we_o improove_v our_o affliction_n to_o the_o good_a of_o other_o and_o will_v gain_v himself_o honour_n by_o our_o affliction_n suffering_n 5.5_o rom_n 5.5_o and_o cross_n when_o god_n have_v shed_v abroad_o his_o love_n in_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o spirit_n than_o we_o can_v rejoice_v in_o tribulation_n and_o rejoice_v under_o hope_n though_o the_o affliction_n continue_v because_o the_o sting_n be_v go_v anger_n be_v remoove_v for_o my_o anger_n be_v turn_v away_o from_o he_o the_o last_o point_n we_o observe_v from_o hence_o and_o gather_v from_o all_o these_o general_a truth_n be_v this_o observe_v where_o there_o be_v not_o humiliation_n for_o sin_n and_o hearty_a prayer_n to_o god_n with_o reformation_n of_o our_o way_n fly_v unto_o god_n for_o
