it_o arm_v it_o and_o prepare_v it_o against_o future_a danger_n when_o we_o know_v not_o what_o may_v befall_v we_o as_o how_o far_o we_o may_v be_v comfortless_a in_o the_o world_n yet_o while_o

when_o all_o thing_n else_o shall_v leave_v we_o comfortless_o yet_o that_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v we_o comfortless_o with_o they_o but_o stand_v by_o we_o and_o own_v we_o in_o such_o condition_n and_o when_o we_o have_v most_o need_n of_o he_o will_v then_o give_v we_o most_o encouragement_n from_o he_o which_o if_o we_o be_v such_o as_o do_v belong_v unto_o he_o we_o need_v not_o to_o

considerable_a according_a to_o a_o twofold_a explication_n first_o as_o to_o matter_n of_o affection_n and_o second_o as_o to_o mat_n of_o activity_n for_o there_o be_v a_o leave_v in_o both_o of_o these_o respect_n a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o leave_v another_o when_o he_o do_v remit_v of_o his_o former_a love_n and_o tenderness_n and_o goodwill_n unto_o he_o and_o again_o he_o be_v say_v to_o leave_v he_o when_o he_o do_v abate_v of_o his_o former_a practice_n and_o performance_n for_o he_o now_o in_o neither_o of_o these_o consideration_n will_v christ_n leave_v or_o desert_n his_o

so_o in_o the_o worst_a and_o most_o discourage_a providence_n of_o christ_n towards_o his_o church_n and_o people_n he_o do_v still_o reserve_v his_o heart_n for_o they_o and_o do_v bear_v a_o tender_a respect_n unto_o they_o as_o he_o tell_v his_o people_n in_o captivity_n i_o know_v the_o thought_n that_o i_o think_v towards_o you_o thought_n of_o good_a and_o not_o of_o evil_a etc._n

second_o as_o to_o matter_n of_o activity_n he_o will_v not_o leave_v they_o so_o neither_o as_o he_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o love_v they_o so_o he_o will_v not_o cease_v to_o bestir_v himself_o for_o they_o which_o be_v a_o fruit_n and_o consequent_a of_o love_n the_o less_o able_a they_o be_v to_o help_v themselves_o the_o more_o will_v he_o help_v they_o and_o the_o less_o able_a they_o be_v to_o comfort_v themselves_o the_o more_o will_v he_o comfort_v they_o his_o power_n be_v make_v manifest_a in_o their_o weakness_n now_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o point_n it_o shall_v have_v a_o twofold_a influence_n with_o it_o by_o way_n of_o improvement_n the_o one_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o thankfulness_n and_o the_o other_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o imitation_n first_o this_o care_n of_o christ_n of_o we_o in_o such_o condition_n as_o these_o be_v it_o shall_v draw_v acknowledgement_n from_o we_o this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o church_n to_o make_v conscience_n of_o in_o such_o a_o condition_n psal_n 136.23_o who_o remember_v we_o in_o our_o low_a estate_n for_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o particular_n among_o the_o rest_n which_o in_o that_o psalm_n she_o bless_v god_n for_o and_o so_o psal_n 145.14_o the_o lord_n uphold_v all_o they_o that_o fall_v and_o raise_v up_o all_o those_o that_o be_v bow_v down_o it_o be_v that_o for_o which_o he_o extol_v god_n and_o praise_n he_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o second_o as_o to_o matter_n of_o imitation_n we_o shall_v learn_v our_o selus_fw-la also_o to_o practice_v it_o and_o in_o our_o place_n as_o near_o as_o we_o can_v to_o conform_v unto_o it_o by_o not_o leave_v other_o comfortless_a as_o christ_n do_v not_o leave_v we_o let_v the_o same_o mind_n be_v in_o we_o to_o this_o purpose_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n parent_n to_o their_o child_n magistrate_n to_o their_o subject_n minister_n to_o their_o people_n first_o to_o be_v careful_a how_o we_o make_v they_o comfortless_o and_o second_o to_o be_v careful_a how_o we_o leave_v they_o so_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a disposition_n to_o be_v tender_a of_o the_o spirit_n and_o condition_n of_o other_o person_n and_o especial_o which_o be_v any_o way_n unite_v and_o relate_v to_o ourselves_o and_o which_o be_v of_o themselves_o apt_a to_o be_v oversway_v that_o we_o do_v not_o break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n nor_o quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n nor_o make_v sad_a the_o face_n of_o those_o who_o god_n have_v not_o make_v so_o or_o which_o he_o have_v make_v so_o that_o we_o make_v they_o not_o sad_a by_o desert_v and_o leave_v they_o in_o their_o affliction_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n add_v sorrow_n to_o sorrow_n to_o do_v this_o be_v very_o far_o both_o from_o the_o practice_n and_o disposition_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v here_o exhibit_v to_o we_o and_o not_o only_o here_o but_o likewise_o in_o other_o place_n as_o we_o may_v observe_v if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o gospel_n where_o he_o perceive_v at_o any_o time_n that_o his_o disciple_n be_v in_o any_o state_n or_o condition_n of_o discomfiture_n how_o he_o be_v still_o careful_a to_o support_v they_o in_o it_o and_o to_o prevent_v they_o from_o sink_v under_o it_o and_o so_o much_o may_v be_v speak_v of_o the_o first_o branch_n of_o this_o second_o general_n in_o the_o text_n to_o wit_n the_o care_n of_o christ_n towards_o his_o disciple_n express_v in_o the_o negative_a in_o these_o word_n i_o will_v not_o leave_v you_o comfortless_o the_o second_o be_v the_o affirmative_a in_o these_o

end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v utter_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o second_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o and_o the_o word_n themselves_o whereof_o it_o consist_v we_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o it_o in_o both_o for_o the_o first_o the_o scope_n and_o drift_n of_o it_o it_o be_v this_o especial_o that_o he_o may_v comfort_v his_o disciple_n and_o prevent_v they_o from_o discouragement_n he_o do_v here_o in_o these_o last_o word_n practice_v that_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o they_o in_o the_o word_n precede_v there_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o that_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v they_o comfortless_o while_o he_o go_v away_o from_o they_o and_o here_o he_o do_v take_v a_o course_n to_o provide_v comfort_n for_o they_o by_o tell_v they_o of_o his_o come_n again_o after_o his_o departure_n that_o though_o he_o go_v from_o they_o for_o a_o while_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o go_v from_o they_o for_o good_a and_o all_o but_o will_v return_v unto_o they_o thus_o he_o do_v as_o tender_a

of_o god_n servant_n in_o this_o regard_n who_o dare_v not_o trust_v he_o with_o their_o life_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o they_o notwithstanding_o so_o many_o gracious_a promise_n and_o experience_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o as_o david_n he_o be_v but_o just_a before_o deliver_v out_o of_o his_o enemy_n hand_n and_o he_o present_o cry_v i_o shall_v one_o day_n perish_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o saul_n even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o other_o beside_o who_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v through_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v all_o their_o life-time_n subject_a to_o bondage_n heb_fw-mi 2.15_o now_o for_o such_o as_o these_o they_o may_v be_v here_o say_v from_o this_o passage_n before_o we_o though_o god_n may_v bring_v they_o to_o danger_n yet_o as_o he_o see_v cause_n he_o will_v deliver_v they_o from_o it_o as_o he_o do_v here_o with_o this_o servant_n david_n the_o lord_n have_v chastened_a i_o sore_o but_o he_o have_v not_o give_v i_o over_o to_o death_n second_o where_o we_o partake_v of_o this_o mercy_n let_v we_o acknowlelge_v it_o with_o all_o thankfulness_n thus_o do_v david_n do_v here_o we_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n not_o only_o of_o his_o word_n but_o also_o of_o his_o affection_n which_o be_v signify_v in_o they_o and_o the_o spirit_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v from_o he_o he_o utter_v they_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o feeling_n and_o sensibleness_n of_o god_n goodness_n to_o he_o and_o so_o they_o be_v not_o only_o a_o narration_n of_o his_o present_a condition_n but_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o god_n favour_n to_o himself_o to_o a_o answerable_a temper_n and_o disposition_n which_o he_o do_v here_o express_a by_o the_o word_n which_o come_v from_o he_o he_o have_v not_o give_v i_o over_o to_o death_n they_o be_v not_o word_n of_o boast_v and_o vanity_n and_o ostentation_n and_o carnal_a rejoice_v but_o the_o word_n of_o soberness_n and_o piety_n and_o discretion_n and_o there_o be_v divers_a thing_n

below_o our_o desert_n so_o also_o below_o our_o capacity_n that_o he_o do_v not_o afflict_v we_o in_o the_o utmost_a extremity_n and_o so_o to_o this_o purpose_n shall_v we_o argue_v and_o reason_n with_o ourselves_o he_o have_v take_v away_o my_o health_n but_o he_o have_v not_o take_v away_o my_o life_n he_o have_v exercise_v i_o in_o my_o body_n but_o he_o have_v spare_v my_o soul_n he_o have_v deprive_v i_o of_o earthly_a comfort_n but_o he_o have_v not_o deprive_v i_o of_o heavenly_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n of_o the_o assurance_n of_o his_o love_n of_o the_o communion_n with_o himself_o of_o his_o own_o bless_a and_o gracious_a presence_n these_o he_o have_v not_o deny_v i_o but_o continue_v they_o still_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o other_o

in_o the_o thought_n and_o speech_n of_o his_o suppose_a ruin_n and_o destruction_n now_o by_o this_o expression_n here_o in_o the_o text_n he_o do_v in_o a_o holy_a and_o humble_a manner_n signify_v their_o mistake_n and_o disappointment_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v unto_o they_o it_o be_v not_o so_o bad_a as_o you_o think_v it_o nor_o so_o bad_a as_o you_o hope_v it_o nor_o so_o bad_a as_o

three_o which_o be_v here_o namely_o considerable_a david_n i_o say_v will_v hereby_o express_v his_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o this_o mercy_n they_o be_v word_n of_o praise_n and_o spiritual_a
