with_o i_o indeed_o that_o be_v true_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n for_o all_o that_o and_o you_o must_v conceive_v his_o way_n be_v far_o above_o man_n way_n as_o the_o heaven_n be_v above_o the_o earth_n the_o three_o thing_n wherein_o we_o mistake_v be_v we_o be_v ready_a to_o lay_v down_o a_o way_n for_o he_o to_o come_v and_o if_o he_o come_v not_o that_o way_n than_o we_o mistake_v he_o this_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o mistake_n in_o christ_n disciple_n at_o the_o resurrection_n they_o think_v he_o shall_v have_v rise_v so_o glorious_a that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v fallen-down_a before_o he_o present_o and_o now_o say_v they_o he_o be_v three_o day_n dead_a and_o they_o have_v not_o see_v he_o yes_o they_o see_v he_o but_o they_o think_v they_o will_v have_v see_v he_o another_o way_n and_o so_o they_o mistake_v he_o they_o look_v sometime_o for_o he_o in_o such_o a_o mercy_n and_o he_o come_v in_o another_o way_n than_o they_o look_v for_o he_o they_o look_v sometime_o for_o he_o in_o a_o temporal_a mercy_n and_o he_o come_v in_o a_o spiritual_a mercy_n in_o lose_v the_o bond_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o people_n they_o think_v he_o will_v come_v in_o such_o a_o mean_a and_o he_o come_v in_o another_o that_o be_v as_o good_a for_o use_v then_o leave_v latitude_n for_o he_o to_o deliver_v his_o people_n from_o their_o bondage_n spiritual_a or_o temporal_a any_o way_n he_o will_v and_o do_v not_o confine_v he_o to_o this_o or_o that_o mean_a for_o ordinary_o he_o come_v not_o that_o way_n that_o his_o people_n will_v have_v he_o to_o come_v as_o have_v often_o be_v make_v out_o in_o the_o experience_n of_o his_o people_n so_o that_o they_o have_v be_v sometime_o afraid_a to_o speak_v of_o the_o way_n they_o will_v fain_o have_v have_v he_o to_o come_v lest_o he_o shall_v have_v come_v another_o 2._o put_v a_o favourable_a construction_n on_o every_o thing_n he_o do_v and_o that_o will_v prevent_v your_o mistake_n of_o he_o and_o his_o way_n of_o come_v for_o the_o deliverance_n whatever_o it_o be_v his_o people_n will_v enure_v themselves_o to_o this_o way_n which_o indeed_o be_v much_o our_o duty_n for_o charity_n think_v not_o evil_a and_o it_o be_v want_v of_o love_n to_o god_n that_o make_v we_o think_v evil_a of_o his_o dispensation_n god_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n and_o not_o a_o churl_n he_o love_v always_o the_o man_n that_o bode_v well_o use_v 3_o when_o your_o trial_n be_v at_o a_o great_a height_n and_o the_o lord_n be_v take_v strange_a way_n and_o cast_v of_o providence_n be_v spare_v to_o speak_v your_o judgement_n and_o apprehension_n till_o you_o see_v what_o the_o result_n will_v be_v for_o the_o dispensation_n may_v look_v ragged-like_a at_o first_o yet_o will_v produce_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o the_o church_n the_o next_o doctrine_n be_v sometime_o when_o god_n be_v set_v the_o deliverance_n of_o his_o people_n on_o foot_n he_o use_v then_o to_o serve_v up_o the_o trial_n a_o degree_n high_o than_o they_o be_v before_o the_o disciple_n be_v afraid_a of_o the_o sea_n before_o but_o now_o for_o a_o evil_a spirit_n it_o be_v say_v they_o cried-out_a for_o fear_n which_o they_o do_v not_o before_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v come_v for_o their_o deliverance_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o true_a in_o the_o many_o deliverance_n god_n wrought_v for_o his_o people_n in_o scripture_n than_o this_o you_o may_v remember_v moses_n be_v send_v to_o egypt_n to_o deliver_v the_o people_n but_o indeed_o their_o trial_n grow_v never_o great_a till_o moses_n come_v and_o when_o they_o get_v out_o of_o egypt_n they_o be_v not_o far_o off_o till_o the_o enemy_n and_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o mountain_n be_v on_o every_o side_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o their_o deliverance_n be_v on_o foot_n real_o there_o be_v these_o reason_n of_o the_o doctrine_n first_o that_o he_o may_v decry_v all_o mean_n and_o bring_v they_o down_o in_o the_o people_n conceit_n that_o he_o have_v call_v they_o to_o set_v on_o foot_n and_o that_o their_o eye_n may_v be_v only_o set_v on_o god_n moses_n will_v have_v be_v a_o great_a man_n and_o likely_o idolise_v by_o the_o people_n if_o his_o enterprise_n have_v not_o first_o break_v in_o his_o hand_n if_o israel_n have_v not_o be_v first_o break_v before_o benjamin_n they_o will_v have_v idolise_v their_o number_n of_o man_n but_o god_n give_v they_o on_o their_o finger-end_n once_o or_o twice_o that_o they_o may_v not_o lean_v to_o their_o multitude_n 2._o he_o do_v so_o that_o he_o may_v prepare_v his_o people_n for_o the_o deliverance_n though_o such_o be_v his_o pity_n and_o compassion_n that_o he_o wait_v not_o for_o his_o people_n frame_n to_o deliver_v they_o you_o will_v say_v the_o people_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v deliver_v yes_o it_o be_v true_a but_o god_n will_v do_v as_o much_o in_o the_o delivery_n some_o one_o way_n or_o other_o as_o will_v fit_v they_o more_o than_o seven_o year_n trouble_n will_v have_v do_v a_o little_a trial_n in_o the_o deliverance_n itself_o will_v do_v much_o good_a it_o hasten_v the_o delivery_n before_o it_o come_v it_o may_v be_v there_o will_v be_v something_o in_o the_o delivery_n that_o will_v break_v your_o heart_n and_o humble_a you_o more_o than_o all_o the_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n or_o estate_n you_o have_v meet_v with_o before_o 3._o he_o do_v so_o many_o time_n to_o make_v the_o adversary_n cruel_a and_o insolent_a and_o quick_o to_o fill_v up_o their_o cup._n when_o the_o trial_n be_v betwixt_o his_o people_n and_o their_o enemy_n he_o make_v the_o delivery_n to_o take_v a_o halt_n of_o purpose_n to_o make_v the_o enemy_n insolent_a and_o proud_a and_o then_o to_o turn_v up_o their_o heel_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o pride_n wherefore_o do_v israel_n delivery_n halt_v in_o egypt_n but_o that_o the_o enemy_n may_v grow_v more_o terrible_a and_o insolent_a 4._o he_o do_v so_o to_o make_v the_o delivery_n more_o sweet_a to_o his_o people_n than_o ever_o it_o can_v have_v be_v if_o they_o have_v not_o meet_v with_o that_o trial_n o_o but_o christ_n be_v welcome_a to_o the_o disciple_n now_o and_o this_o new_a trial_n make_v he_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o welcome_a than_o he_o will_v have_v be_v that_o they_o apprehend_v he_o to_o be_v a_o spirit_n 5._o he_o do_v so_o that_o there_o may_v be_v fit_a wither-weight_n upon_o his_o people_n in_o their_o deliverance_n that_o they_o may_v carry_v sober_o and_o even_o under_o their_o recept_n for_o if_o his_o people_n want_v some_o wither-weight_n they_o be_v so_o lightheaded_a that_o the_o delivery_n will_v make_v they_o stark_o mad_a therefore_o he_o will_v let_v some_o worthy_a instrument_n fall_v in_o the_o delivery_n of_o his_o people_n that_o the_o loss_n of_o they_o will_v almost_o counterbalance_n the_o deliverance_n then_o 6._o he_o do_v so_o to_o perfect_v some_o business_n to_o debate_v with_o some_o person_n who_o be_v exceed_o concern_v in_o the_o difficulty_n that_o fall_v on_o his_o people_n and_o he_o avenge_v the_o particular_a that_o he_o pursue_v in_o that_o case_n and_o many_o such_o thing_n be_v with_o he_o although_o i_o grant_v the_o comparison_n hold_v not_o in_o all_o in_o that_o deliverance_n that_o david_n meet_v with_o from_o his_o son_n absalon_n and_o his_o man_n he_o overturn_v absalom_n heel_n which_o in_o david_n account_n do_v countervail_v the_o deliverance_n itself_o well_o then_o sir_n see_v this_o be_v god_n way_n to_o make_v the_o deliverance_n halt_v and_o to_o serve_v up_o the_o trial_n a_o pin_n high_a sometime_o then_o for_o use_n if_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o let_v you_o see_v your_o deliverance_n dawn_v like_o day_n upon_o the_o mountain_n then_o think_v that_o your_o difficulty_n be_v not_o all_o over_o i_o will_v not_o say_v what_o way_n god_n may_v take_v to_o deliver_v we_o but_o i_o be_o very_o apprehensive_a that_o whenever_o the_o deliverance_n shall_v come_v there_o shall_v be_v multitud_n of_o difficulty_n interweave_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v hard_a to_o discern_v it_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o deliverance_n or_o not_o it_o will_v look_v so_o like_o the_o contrary_n and_o this_o i_o have_v think_v many_o time_n what_o if_o there_o shall_v a_o party_n appear_v for_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o the_o field_n and_o be_v break_v all_o to_o piece_n and_o yet_o that_o same_o party_n break_v contribute_v for_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o church_n so_o i_o say_v when_o the_o deliverance_n first_o begin_v to_o dawn_n do_v not_o think_v that_o your_o difficulty_n be_v over_o you_o may_v meet_v with_o some_o thing_n in_o the_o delivery_n that_o may_v be_v worse_o than_o all_o the_o trouble_n you_o have_v see_v
