lord_n long-suffering_a and_o of_o great_a mercy_n forgive_a iniquity_n and_o transgression_n &_o c_o why_o now_o lord_n manifest_v thy_o glory_n now_o lord_n show_v thyself_o to_o be_v a_o glorious_a god_n in_o do_v what_o mark_v in_o the_o 19_o verse_n pardon_v i_o beseech_v thou_o the_o iniquity_n of_o 19_o this_o people_n that_o be_v the_o glory_n that_o god_n shall_v show_v forth_o and_o manifest_v his_o power_n in_o it_o one_o will_v rather_o think_v that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n shall_v rather_o be_v manifest_a in_o the_o destruction_n of_o sinner_n no_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o mercy_n as_o well_o as_o in_o misery_n and_o destruction_n and_o we_o find_v that_o those_o that_o come_v up_o near_o to_o god_n they_o be_v the_o merciful_a most_o love_a and_o

for_o so_o we_o know_v the_o heathen_n can_v say_v the_o great_a any_o one_o be_v the_o more_o placable_a be_v his_o anger_n a_o generous_a mind_n not_o easy_o move_v and_o so_o he_o compare_v the_o

but_o for_o wolf_n and_o bear_n they_o insult_v over_o those_o that_o fall_v down_o before_o they_o so_o those_o that_o have_v the_o most_o magnanimous_a spirit_n have_v the_o most_o patient_a spirit_n and_o forgive_a spirit_n and_o pardon_v spirit_n this_o be_v as_o cross_v a_o note_n unto_o a_o carnal_a heart_n almost_o as_o any_o thing_n i_o mean_v to_o one_o that_o give_v way_n to_o the_o lust_n of_o his_o passion_n for_o he_o think_v himself_o only_o magnanimous_a when_o he_o can_v vent_v his_o anger_n and_o be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o thought_n that_o he_o think_v he_o shall_v be_v a_o fool_n he_o will_v forbear_v his_o anger_n it_o be_v not_o thy_o honour_n but_o it_o make_v thou_o base_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o thy_o servant_n child_n and_o wife_n when_o thou_o come_v

upon_o god_n as_o ourselves_o it_o make_v we_o bold_a in_o sin_n first_o and_o afterward_o it_o make_v we_o stratagem_n despair_v in_o sin_n as_o thus_o in_o psal_n 50._o 21._o thou_o think_v i_o be_v like_a to_o thyself_o say_v god_n there_o that_o be_v because_o i_o be_v patient_a and_o long-suffering_a towards_o thou_o thou_o think_v i_o be_v like_a unto_o a_o man_n and_o a_o man_n though_o he_o be_v a_o little_a offend_v you_o think_v you_o may_v please_v he_o again_o and_o so_o you_o think_v i_o be_v like_a to_o yourselves_o therefore_o you_o go_v on_o in_o your_o sin_n so_o the_o devil_n first_o make_v we_o look_v upon_o god_n like_o ourselves_o and_o so_o we_o think_v that_o god_n have_v no_o great_a hatred_n to_o sin_n than_o we_o have_v but_o then_o turn_v the_o other_o side_n when_o we_o have_v once_o commit_v the_o sin_n when_o the_o devil_n will_v tempt_v to_o despair_v than_o he_o make_v we_o look_v to_o god_n like_a to_o ourselves_o that_o be_v thus_o i_o find_v that_o i_o can_v not_o forgive_v such_o a_o one_o if_o he_o have_v wrong_v i_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n and_o therefore_o they_o look_v upon_o god_n like_o a_o man_n nay_o like_o a_o corrupt_a man_n oh_o what_o a_o dishonour_n be_v this_o to_o god_n that_o because_o thou_o thyself_o have_v a_o froward_a perverse_a 〈◊〉_d cruel_a heart_n that_o thou_o can_v not_o forgive_v therefore_o thou_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o if_o it_o be_v as_o hard_o for_o he_o to_o forgive_v as_o for_o thou_o my_o brethren_n the_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o god_n it_o will_v help_v against_o many_o discourage_a thought_n in_o poor_a sinner_n as_o first_o thus_o my_o sin_n be_v very_o great_a man_n will_v forgive_v little_a offence_n but_o god_n be_v a_o god_n and_o not_o man_n and_o therefore_o great_a mercy_n be_v little_a in_o comparison_n to_o he_o a_o second_o discourage_v thought_n be_v i_o have_v sin_v against_o 2._o many_o offer_n of_o mercy_n but_o god_n be_v god_n and_o not_o a_o man_n and_o god_n mercy_n be_v such_o as_o bring_v in_o man_n that_o have_v refuse_v the_o offer_n of_o mercy_n and_o then_o three_o none_o be_v so_o sinful_a as_o i_o but_o god_n be_v a_o god_n and_o not_o a_o man_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v above_o thou_o in_o the_o 3._o way_n of_o his_o mercy_n god_n have_v more_o mercy_n yet_o than_o ever_o he_o do_v manifest_a to_o any_o one_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n and_o though_o i_o be_v the_o vile_a of_o all_o sinner_n yet_o let_v i_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o god_n and_o not_o a_o man_n four_o i_o be_o unworthy_a say_v the_o sinner_n of_o any_o mercy_n from_o god_n indeed_o if_o you_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o man_n it_o may_v 4_o hinder_v but_o god_n be_v a_o god_n and_o not_o a_o man_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o unworthiness_n that_o hinder_v mercy_n in_o god_n it_o be_v that_o mercy_n please_v he_o yea_o but_o i_o be_o like_a to_o be_v of_o no_o use_n to_o god_n it_o be_v true_a if_o you_o be_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o man_n he_o may_v not_o be_v please_v 5_o but_o god_n stand_v in_o no_o need_n of_o you_o or_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n for_o he_o be_v a_o god_n and_o not_o man_n thou_o do_v not_o honour_n god_n as_o a_o god_n if_o thou_o do_v not_o cast_v thy_o soul_n upon_o his_o mercy_n as_o the_o mercy_n of_o a_o god_n if_o i_o put_v this_o unto_o thou_o i_o hope_v the_o glory_n of_o it_o will_v be_v so_o great_a as_o will_v keep_v it_o from_o be_v abuse_v what_o do_v thou_o think_v thy_o condition_n be_v grievous_a but_o do_v thou_o think_v that_o such_o mercy_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n

that_o god_n love_v he_o and_o as_o god_n love_n be_v extraordinary_a to_o they_o more_o than_o to_o other_o people_n so_o their_o love_n again_o shall_v be_v reflect_v upon_o god_n in_o a_o more_o

these_o kind_n of_o work_n in_o jacob_n spirit_n you_o can_v but_o conceive_v that_o it_o must_v draw_v tear_n he_o weep_v before_o the_o angel_n consider_v this_o his_o sore_a distress_a condition_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v thought_n will_v make_v he_o weep_v too_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o misery_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o faith_n when_o he_o consider_v i_o but_o

you_o roll_n in_o your_o thought_n the_o aggravation_n of_o god_n goodness_n and_o mercy_n and_o can_v that_o make_v you_o weep_v the_o end_n why_o god_n bring_v jacob_n into_o this_o condition_n to_o

as_o we_o intimate_v before_o that_o god_n do_v for_o jacob_n that_o ever_o he_o do_v to_o man_n therefore_o god_n will_v bring_v he_o very_o low_a before_o he_o will_v raise_v he_o so_o high_a and_o make_v he_o fall_v a_o weep_n aswell_o as_o pray_v before_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o mercy_n oh_o this_o be_v god_n way_n he_o will_v bring_v man_n very_o low_a to_o humble_v they_o before_o they_o shall_v have_v mercy_n therefore_o when_o man_n heart_n be_v high_a and_o lofty_a stout_a and_o hard_a they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n from_o god_n but_o when_o man_n heart_n begin_v to_o break_v thaw_n and_o melt_v and_o be_v tender_a than_o they_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n as_o here_o so_o we_o find_v it_o often_o in_o scripture_n that_o god_n intend_v mercy_n first_o

break_v with_o tear_n before_o god_n it_o be_v a_o excellent_a thing_n to_o see_v a_o man_n of_o a_o brave_a spirit_n strong_a and_o full_o of_o courage_n in_o any_o service_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n to_o have_v a_o melt_a tender_a and_o soft_a spirit_n in_o his_o deal_n with_o god_n if_o you_o shall_v see_v now_o a_o great_a captain_n or_o

to_o prayer_n but_o to_o weep_v before_o the_o lord_n some_o man_n think_v it_o be_v too_o low_a a_o thing_n to_o fall_v a_o weep_n in_o prayer_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o womanish_a and_o a_o

of_o all_o their_o straits_n and_o affliction_n we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o god_n very_o seldom_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o almighty_a power_n speak_v of_o his_o willingness_n to_o do_v

tell_v he_o he_o will_v multiply_v he_o to_o a_o company_n of_o nation_n and_o king_n shall_v come_v out_o of_o his_o loin_n in_o this_o we_o have_v a_o excellent_a lesson_n that_o god_n speak_v to_o

turn_v to_o god_n than_o other_o there_o be_v more_o argument_n to_o persuade_v thy_o heart_n than_o other_o turn_v thou_o to_o god_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n towards_o any_o
