of_o god_n consider_v how_o hot_a and_o violent_a it_o be_v then_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o further_o as_o to_o consider_v what_o mercy_n 4._o in_o that_o this_o succeed_v a_o series_n of_o mercy_n mercy_n there_o have_v go_v in_o a_o straight_a line_n before_o and_o how_o this_o come_v after_o mercy_n upon_o mercy_n god_n add_v always_o great_a to_o the_o less_o this_o have_v not_o be_v god_n way_n with_o we_o hitherto_o but_o if_o god_n hear_v we_o in_o one_o mercy_n he_o give_v we_o a_o correction_n present_o if_o we_o do_v get_v one_o garrison_n we_o lose_v another_o if_o we_o have_v one_o victory_n we_o lose_v another_o now_o that_o god_n that_o be_v a_o zealous_a god_n shall_v go_v on_o and_o not_o see_v iniquity_n in_o his_o people_n and_o pass_v by_o their_o infirmity_n and_o shall_v go_v from_o on_o fort_n to_o another_o and_o from_o one_o garrison_n to_o another_o and_o bring_v in_o this_o great_a city_n to_o the_o rest_n i_o speak_v of_o it_o because_o the_o chief_a thing_n in_o this_o city_n be_v to_o desire_v to_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n as_o moses_n do_v to_o desire_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o see_v god_n perfect_a god_n we_o know_v god_n be_v perfect_a and_o use_v not_o to_o work_v by_o half_n but_o god_n have_v hide_v that_o attribute_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n among_o we_o he_o give_v we_o many_o overture_n of_o mercy_n but_o he_o call_v for_o they_o back_o again_o and_o so_o present_o turn_v our_o joy_n into_o sorrow_n it_o have_v be_v familiar_a in_o all_o his_o dispensation_n to_o we_o for_o these_o two_o or_o three_o year_n now_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v go_v on_o from_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o without_o interruption_n and_o cast_v nothing_o in_o by_o the_o way_n to_o embitter_v our_o mercy_n and_o to_o go_v from_o less_o to_o great_a in_o this_o manner_n i_o think_v the_o lord_n have_v show_v himself_o a_o perfect_a god_n as_o he_o do_v to_o our_o father_n before_o and_o that_o be_v a_o glorious_a attribute_n beside_o it_o be_v not_o a_o little_a mercy_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v governor_n 5._o in_o respect_n of_o a_o confide_a governor_n incline_v the_o parliament_n to_o bestow_v a_o governor_n upon_o that_o city_n that_o they_o may_v confide_v in_o that_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n than_o we_o can_v now_o speak_v of_o and_o true_o if_o you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o what_o i_o think_v for_o we_o may_v haply_o judge_v of_o god_n mercy_n in_o this_o because_o of_o our_o concernment_n further_o than_o some_o of_o you_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n in_o our_o apprehension_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v clear_v his_o people_n that_o come_v thence_o for_o when_o they_o come_v up_o i_o remember_v well_o of_o all_o people_n that_o come_v from_o any_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n as_o i_o apprehend_v pardon_v i_o if_o i_o misapprehend_v the_o bristol_n people_n and_o those_o part_n though_o they_o receive_v much_o kindness_n from_o this_o city_n which_o they_o be_v bind_v with_o thankfulness_n ever_o to_o acknowledge_v yet_o they_o lie_v under_o a_o blurr_n because_o they_o be_v look_v on_o as_o faulty_a and_o defective_a and_o negligent_a that_o they_o lose_v the_o city_n and_o endanger_v the_o kingdom_n that_o true_o beside_o their_o loss_n and_o suffering_n that_o you_o can_v imagine_v unless_o you_o have_v suffer_v with_o they_o this_o be_v not_o a_o small_a affliction_n to_o see_v so_o many_o frown_n on_o they_o and_o to_o add_v affliction_n to_o affliction_n as_o though_o if_o they_o have_v be_v more_o valiant_a and_o courageous_a they_o may_v have_v keep_v the_o city_n and_o have_v save_v it_o etc._n etc._n i_o meddle_v not_o with_o the_o commander_n and_o governor_n but_o i_o speak_v of_o you_o that_o be_v here_o and_o the_o good_a people_n of_o bristol_n that_o use_n to_o be_v here_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n have_v restore_v the_o poor_a people_n to_o their_o home_n at_o least_o though_o that_o be_v naked_a enough_o for_o they_o and_o have_v take_v away_o their_o reproach_n for_o though_o we_o say_v before_o that_o we_o do_v what_o we_o can_v to_o save_v the_o city_n and_o stand_v out_o yet_o it_o be_v general_o think_v that_o we_o may_v have_v do_v more_o but_o now_o it_o appear_v to_o the_o world_n that_o now_o there_o be_v many_o more_o than_o we_o have_v at_o least_o three_o for_o one_o and_o there_o be_v two_o year_n work_n fort_n and_o line_n build_v more_o than_o there_o be_v then_o and_o we_o keep_v they_o out_o three_o day_n in_o storm_v and_o i_o hear_v not_o that_o they_o do_v one_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o lose_v the_o city_n we_o capitulate_v so_o do_v they_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o lose_v it_o i_o say_v not_o but_o that_o we_o have_v weakness_n and_o it_o may_v be_v from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o least_o want_a skill_n in_o manage_v it_o but_o i_o know_v and_o i_o shall_v know_v as_o much_o as_o one●_n that_o the_o people_n of_o bristol_n be_v valiant_a from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a the_o lord_n have_v take_v away_o the_o reproach_n for_o whereas_o all_o other_o in_o the_o kingdom_n be_v pity_v many_o frown_v upon_o bristol_n man_n after_o all_o their_o suffering_n there_o be_v many_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o now_o expedient_a to_o insist_v upon_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o your_o serious_a consideration_n and_o what_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v to_o we_o in_o the_o victory_n in_o scotland_n no_o man_n though_o we_o know_v it_o but_o in_o general_a can_v be_v ignorant_a how_o that_o kingdom_n be_v subdue_v the_o enemy_n will_v have_v be_v over_o we_o and_o all_o the_o three_o kingdom_n will_v have_v be_v go_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n but_o god_n have_v send_v they_o seasonable_a relief_n beyond_o all_o expectation_n a_o great_a mercy_n now_o from_o all_o this_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o my_o thought_n what_o you_o and_o i_o shall_v learn_v first_o for_o ever_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v learn_v patient_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n when_o we_o have_v make_v our_o prayer_n to_o he_o and_o he_o have_v make_v his_o promise_n to_o we_o we_o have_v many_o promise_n in_o our_o eye_n and_o we_o make_v our_o prayer_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n give_v the_o city_n into_o their_o hand_n we_o think_v the_o promise_n and_o our_o prayer_n be_v lose_v neither_o do_v we_o see_v or_o can_v understand_v how_o any_o thing_n shall_v become_v of_o they_o but_o only_a shame_n and_o reproach_n for_o we_o boast_v of_o god_n in_o the_o pulpit_n and_o in_o the_o street_n and_o at_o our_o work_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v our_o god_n and_o will_v help_v we_o and_o yet_o the_o lord_n turn_v it_o against_o we_o and_o there_o be_v few_o of_o we_o that_o have_v so_o much_o grace_n as_o to_o wait_v patient_o on_o he_o and_o to_o know_v that_o though_o nothing_o appear_v the_o vision_n will_v speak_v and_o will_v not_o lie_v but_o now_o we_o be_v convince_v of_o our_o folly_n and_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v full_o answer_v those_o prayer_n of_o bristol_n for_o those_o prayer_n i_o believe_v do_v speak_v loud_a of_o all_o the_o prayer_n in_o england_n in_o get_v that_o city_n and_o i_o value_v one_o of_o those_o prayer_n more_o than_o a_o hundred_o now_o for_o they_o be_v old_a prayer_n in_o store_n stale_a prayer_n be_v good_a and_o they_o be_v prayer_n from_o break_a afflict_a spirit_n and_o believe_v heart_n and_o now_o you_o see_v how_o the_o lord_n have_v gracious_o provide_v food_n and_o raiment_n for_o his_o people_n and_o do_v the_o soul_n of_o many_o of_o they_o much_o good_a and_o in_o due_a season_n restore_v their_o dwelling_n and_o habitation_n to_o they_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o word_n in_o rom._n 10._o that_o i_o do_v think_v to_o open_v the_o apostle_n there_o compare_v the_o righteousness_n together_o he_o say_v ver_fw-la 5._o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v thus_o describe_v by_o moses_n the_o man_n that_o do_v these_o thing_n shall_v live_v in_o they_o that_o be_v the_o language_n of_o the_o law_n he_o that_o do_v these_o thing_n he_o that_o keep_v the_o law_n shall_v be_v save_v but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n the_o way_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o gal._n 3._o or_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n speak_v on_o this_o wise_a it_o have_v another_o kind_n of_o language_n say_v not_o in_o thy_o heart_n who_o shall_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n or_o who_o shall_v descend_v into_o the_o deep_a but_o what_o say_v it_o the_o word_n be_v nigh_o thou_o the_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o we_o preach_v that_o be_v this_o be_v the_o language_n of_o faith_n that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n for_o we_o and_o how_o do_v we_o

and_o plague_v and_o punish_v they_o and_o send_v the_o pestilence_n into_o their_o city_n and_o family_n they_o will_v not_o learn_v but_o there_o be_v other_o people_n that_o will_v worship_n jehovah_n that_o will_v fear_v the_o lord_n by_o see_v his_o judgement_n on_o other_o as_o david_n say_v when_o the_o wicked_a be_v take_v away_o as_o dross_n my_o flesh_n tremble_v for_o fear_n of_o thou_o i_o be_o afraid_a of_o thy_o judgement_n when_o he_o see_v the_o wicked_a take_v away_o as_o dross_n with_o the_o fire_n of_o god_n judgement_n he_o fear_v therefore_o learn_v not_o to_o desire_v their_o death_n only_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o to_o believe_v that_o all_o their_o plotting_n against_o the_o saint_n will_v be_v as_o stubble_n and_o as_o chaff_n they_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o and_o if_o the_o wicked_a will_v not_o learn_v by_o see_v god_n to_o cross_v they_o as_o he_o have_v cross_v all_o their_o design_n in_o our_o age_n bless_a be_v his_o name_n yet_o do_v thou_o take_v notice_n how_o god_n go_v against_o such_o people_n and_o such_o a_o nation_n that_o rise_v against_o god_n god_n cross_v and_o blast_v they_o and_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n will_v do_v so_o to_o the_o end_n to_o all_o that_o rise_v against_o he_o and_o his_o people_n only_o take_v notice_n of_o god_n way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o fear_v he_o and_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o to_o wait_v for_o he_o to_o come_v and_o do_v what_o thy_o soul_n desire_v exposition_n and_o observation_n on_o psalm_n 116._o i_o love_v the_o lord_n because_o he_o have_v hear_v my_o prayer_n and_o my_o supplication_n because_o he_o have_v incline_v his_o ear_n unto_o i_o therefore_o will_v i_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n compass_v i_o etc._n etc._n i_o promise_v if_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v i_o strength_n to_o speak_v a_o word_n unto_o you_o this_o afternoon_n concern_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n unto_o we_o in_o the_o victory_n of_o scotland_n but_o especial_o of_o bristol_n because_o we_o have_v more_o knowledge_n of_o it_o and_o more_o relation_n to_o it_o the_o most_o of_o we_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v brief_o from_o this_o psalm_n take_v occasion_n or_o ground_n of_o what_o i_o have_v to_o speak_v to_o you_o two_o thing_n brief_o i_o see_v here_o lay_v down_o in_o this_o psalm_n the_o first_o be_v the_o psalmist_n do_v express_v the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o he_o in_o some_o special_a deliverance_n and_o that_o he_o do_v illustrate_v by_o the_o misery_n he_o be_v in_o for_o he_o be_v in_o a_o very_a low_a condition_n full_a of_o tear_n and_o prayer_n and_o sorrow_n and_o his_o foot_n be_v ready_a to_o fall_v so_o the_o lord_n hear_v his_o prayer_n and_o deliver_v he_o out_o of_o his_o trouble_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v that_o be_v one_o thing_n he_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o he_o the_o second_o be_v he_o do_v consider_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v to_o god_n now_o god_n have_v deliver_v he_o what_o be_v his_o duty_n for_o it_o be_v a_o know_a lesson_n among_o we_o that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n require_v somewhat_o from_o we_o though_o all_o be_v by_o his_o grace_n and_o those_o be_v here_o lay_v down_o in_o the_o psalm_n they_o be_v various_a i_o will_v love_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v call_v upon_o he_o while_o i_o live_v i_o will_v walk_v before_o he_o in_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n and_o diverse_a such_o duty_n he_o lay_v upon_o himself_o in_o consideration_n of_o god_n great_a mercy_n to_o he_o now_o i_o have_v not_o time_n and_o strength_n to_o go_v over_o all_o which_o be_v many_o in_o the_o psalm_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v only_o tell_v you_o a_o few_o thought_n that_o i_o have_v concern_v god_n mercy_n in_o bestow_v bristol_n upon_o we_o again_o and_o that_o according_a to_o david_n method_n here_o which_o be_v the_o most_o natural_a and_o the_o most_o usual_a by_o the_o saint_n first_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o god_n goodness_n in_o that_o mercy_n and_o second_o to_o consider_v what_o be_v our_o duty_n concern_v the_o first_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o mercy_n and_o kindness_n couch_v and_o wrap_v up_o together_o in_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o take_n of_o a_o garrison_n but_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o mercy_n in_o it_o and_o mingle_v with_o it_o you_o opposition_n god_n mercy_n in_o the_o take_n in_o of_o bristol_n consider_v in_o five_o respect_n 1._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o potent_a opposition_n especial_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o and_o be_v godly_a you_o know_v but_o in_o my_o eye_n these_o be_v the_o chief_a that_o i_o see_v and_o be_o affect_v with_o the_o first_o be_v i_o look_v upon_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o mercy_n i_o see_v that_o all_o be_v great_a thing_n in_o and_o about_o it_o there_o be_v no_o mean_a inconsiderable_a thing_n in_o it_o i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o great_a city_n the_o second_o in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o i_o know_v also_o there_o be_v great_a work_n to_o keep_v it_o i_o know_v there_o be_v great_a and_o strong_a and_o numerous_a soldier_n in_o it_o there_o be_v great_a resolution_n in_o those_o soldier_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a too_o there_o be_v great_a misery_n in_o the_o city_n among_o the_o poor_a people_n and_o round_o about_o the_o city_n &_o have_v be_v these_o two_o year_n the_o plague_n scarcity_n of_o provision_n and_o other_o thing_n and_o no_o man_n doubt_n but_o it_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n if_o the_o lord_n make_v it_o a_o blessing_n to_o we_o if_o the_o lord_n sanctify_v it_o it_o will_v be_v of_o great_a consequence_n not_o only_o to_o those_o part_n be_v the_o chief_a city_n in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o to_o this_o city_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a state_n and_o kingdom_n i_o see_v nothing_o in_o it_o but_o great_a thing_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v that_o he_o that_o shall_v do_v this_o for_o we_o sure_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a god_n that_o pull_v down_o the_o great_a pride_n of_o that_o city_n and_o the_o garrison_n in_o it_o that_o must_v throw_v down_o those_o bulwark_n as_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o exalt_v god_n let_v we_o conceive_v of_o god_n according_a to_o his_o greatness_n for_o sure_o he_o that_o do_v that_o work_n there_o no_o man_n will_v doubt_v or_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v god_n and_o that_o god_n that_o do_v it_o any_o man_n that_o will_v serious_o consider_v of_o the_o work_n will_v say_v he_o be_v a_o great_a god_n therefore_o let_v we_o glorify_v he_o in_o his_o greatness_n another_o thing_n very_o observable_a that_o we_o shall_v take_v storm_v 2._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o hazard_n in_o storm_v notice_n of_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v there_o preserve_v our_o friend_n preserve_v our_o army_n in_o such_o a_o wonderful_a manner_n in_o storm_v that_o city_n i_o have_v no_o skill_n in_o war_n but_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o people_n that_o go_v about_o storm_v but_o they_o resolve_v to_o lose_v many_o a_o man_n therefore_o they_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n rather_o than_o storm_n if_o it_o may_v be_v get_v otherwise_o and_o to_o storm_v such_o a_o city_n such_o fort_n such_o strength_n such_o a_o castle_n double_o line_v in_o some_o part_n and_o to_o do_v it_o by_o no_o very_a great_a army_n neither_o and_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v please_v to_o preserve_v they_o that_o so_o few_o shall_v be_v slay_v or_o wound_v it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a mercy_n for_o true_o belove_v when_o there_o be_v but_o a_o few_o in_o the_o city_n when_o the_o other_o side_n seek_v it_o they_o have_v it_o not_o so_o cheap_a it_o cost_v they_o the_o life_n of_o many_o hundred_o of_o they_o but_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n goodness_n to_o his_o poor_a people_n and_o true_o we_o may_v say_v as_o david_n do_v here_o he_o have_v incline_v his_o ear_n to_o we_o and_o hear_v our_o prayer_n then_o a_o three_o blessing_n that_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o in_o it_o be_v pestilence_n 3._o in_o preserve_v it_o from_o the_o pestilence_n that_o god_n shall_v preserve_v our_o friend_n from_o the_o pestilence_n we_o always_o conceive_v that_o if_o they_o have_v that_o city_n they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v with_o it_o because_o of_o the_o pestilence_n that_o may_v ruin_v and_o destroy_v the_o army_n after_o they_o have_v take_v it_o and_o as_o we_o hear_v though_o they_o be_v in_o the_o
