well_o as_o that_o for_o repentance_n be_v a_o turn_n to_o god_n as_o well_o as_o prayer_n and_o if_o we_o say_v he_o exhort_v they_o to_o the_o duty_n of_o repentance_n it_o seem_v otherwise_o for_o

humiliation_n that_o be_v the_o penal_a or_o passive_a part_n of_o repentance_n the_o second_o part_n only_o be_v conversion_n or_o reform_v of_o our_o way_n and_o that_o be_v the_o active_a part_n it_o seem_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o repentance_n because_o that_o be_v but_o half_n again_o if_o we_o say_v he_o exhort_v to_o conversion_n that_o imply_v but_o half_a repentance_n for_o conversion_n it_o imply_v a_o turn_n from_o sin_n before_o we_o can_v turn_v to_o god_n therefore_o the_o best_a course_n will_v be_v to_o take_v in_o all_o these_o humiliation_n as_o the_o first_o thing_n in_o repentance_n and_o aversion_n from_o sin_n as_o that_o that_o always_o accompany_v true_a humiliation_n and_o turn_v to_o god_n by_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n as_o that_o part_n of_o repentance_n which_o be_v the_o last_o in_o act_n but_o the_o first_o in_o intent_n we_o may_v well_o take_v they_o in_o all_o for_o the_o scripture_n allow_v we_o this_o liberty_n the_o

to_o we_o then_o that_o phrase_n which_o entreat_v of_o speech_n and_o take_v of_o word_n which_o be_v only_o proper_a to_o man_n yet_o i_o find_v that_o interpreter_n make_v a_o little_a difference_n in_o the_o exposition_n of_o they_o for_o some_o will_v have_v this_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n that_o the_o prophet_n here_o excite_v they_o to_o a_o duty_n of_o obedience_n take_v to_o you_o word_n

these_o thing_n be_v requisite_a to_o repentance_n but_o these_o be_v harsh_a symptom_n he_o propound_v not_o these_o now_o but_o only_o that_o thy_o bring_v word_n it_o be_v not_o now_o take_v to_o

look_v till_o he_o have_v mercy_n on_o we_o be_v to_o wait_v so_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n why_o this_o word_n be_v add_v if_o we_o look_v to_o the_o thing_n beg_v mercy_n it_o be_v so_o precious_a that_o we_o may_v wait_v for_o it_o it_o be_v servant_n that_o he_o mention_v and_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o wait_v upon_o their_o master_n they_o wait_v upon_o their_o trencher_n at_o

of_o servant_n look_v to_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o master_n it_o shall_v have_v run_v so_o do_v our_o eye_n wait_v on_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o say_v not_o so_o but_o vary_v it_o so_o do_v our_o eye_n wait_v on_o the_o lord_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o will_v have_v be_v too_o straight_o though_o we_o must_v wait_v on_o god_n gracious_a hand_n both_o of_o power_n that_o

to_o his_o glory_n and_o honour_n we_o must_v wait_v upon_o his_o throne_n if_o to_o our_o vileness_n we_o must_v wait_v on_o his_o footstool_n if_o to_o his_o bounty_n we_o must_v wait_v on_o his_o hand_n if_o to_o his_o wisdom_n we_o must_v wait_v upon_o his_o providence_n if_o to_o his_o truth_n we_o must_v wait_v on_o his_o promise_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o god_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wait_v on_o in_o all_o his_o attribute_n and_o relation_n not_o only_o as_o our_o master_n but_o as_o our_o king_n as_o our_o father_n and_o as_o our_o shepherd_n therefore_o that_o the_o psalmist_n may_v better_o leave_v it_o for_o a_o enlarge_a supply_n as_o that_o a_o heavenly_a heart_n may_v intercept_v it_o he_o say_v not_o as_o in_o the_o former_a so_o do_v our_o eye_n wait_v upon_o the_o

to_o receive_v their_o direction_n we_o must_v not_o prescribe_v god_n leave_v god_n to_o his_o way_n though_o we_o see_v thing_n improbable_a god_n can_v work_v it_o out_o we_o must_v leave_v he_o

safety_n a_o good_a servant_n will_v venture_v his_o life_n for_o his_o master_n especial_o in_o a_o good_a cause_n o_o then_o let_v we_o go_v and_o be_v like_o mind_a put_v all_o these_o together_o and_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o thing_n provoke_v ourselves_o to_o the_o faithful_a obedience_n and_o service_n that_o belong_v to_o god_n let_v we_o mould_n ourselves_o with_o these_o

and_o then_o there_o must_v be_v no_o period_n set_v of_o our_o duty_n and_o wait_v until_o he_o have_v mercy_n on_o we_o that_o word_n seem_v to_o be_v as_o long_o as_o the_o other_o indeed_o it_o be_v true_a in_o it_o self_n it_o be_v not_o long_o because_o god_n be_v not_o long_o in_o show_v mercy_n he_o be_v quick_a if_o we_o shall_v wait_v upon_o he_o only_o till_o he_o show_v mercy_n we_o

all_o those_o arrow_n of_o love_n and_o obedience_n and_o fear_v that_o he_o send_v up_o to_o god_n the_o end_n and_o aim_v of_o all_o be_v this_o that_o he_o may_v attain_v mercy_n he_o look_v up_o

second_o the_o other_o word_n until_o show_v we_o thus_o much_o what_o the_o period_n be_v that_o a_o christian_n set_v himself_o in_o the_o line_n of_o obedience_n it_o have_v the_o same_o period_n that_o donec_fw-la until_o until_o he_o show_v mercy_n shall_v we_o think_v that_o david_n do_v mean_a to_o wait_v on_o god_n until_o he_o have_v mercy_n and_o then_o to_o fix_v his_o eye_n upon_o the_o earth_n again_o no_o much_o more_o then_o therefore_o know_v that_o the_o word_n donec_fw-la in_o scripture_n do_v not_o always_o signify_v a_o determinate_a time_n but_o a_o infinite_a time_n until_o signify_v eternity_n in_o two_o place_n one_o in_o the_o gospel_n joseph_n know_v not_o mary_n until_o she_o have_v bring_v forth_o her_o first_o bear_v son_n not_o then_o nor_o after_o

give_v you_o the_o same_o to_o god_n so_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v but_o one_o argument_n but_o there_o be_v four_o in_o it_o first_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la from_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v as_o

we_o will_v do_v it_o as_o plain_o and_o evident_o a_o good_a christian_a look_n on_o god_n so_o plain_o that_o he_o consider_v he_o as_o near_o he_o as_o the_o master_n be_v to_o the_o servant_n god_n be_v always_o at_o hand_n what_o shall_v i_o say_v so_o that_o be_v so_o excellent_o so_o constant_o and_o comfortable_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n take_v from_o equality_n nay_o further_o it_o

argument_n we_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o wait_v upon_o god_n than_o servant_n on_o their_o master_n servant_n have_v a_o compensation_n and_o they_o deserve_v it_o for_o their_o work_n and_o service_n we_o do_v no_o service_n for_o god_n that_o deserve_v any_o thing_n servant_n owe_v obedience_n to_o their_o master_n not_o simple_o but_o in_o subordination_n to_o god_n we_o owe_v duty_n and_o respect_n to_o god_n simple_o servant_n their_o eye_n be_v fix_v upon_o their_o master_n here_o on_o earth_n our_o service_n be_v to_o be_v continue_v in_o heaven_n servant_n do_v it_o for_o a_o time_n our_o service_n last_v always_o servant_n do_v it_o for_o man_n of_o the_o same_o condition_n with_o themselves_o they_o give_v obedience_n to_o their_o master_n and_o yet_o have_v fellowship_n of_o nature_n with_o they_o and_o have_v privilege_n and_o prerogative_n of_o grace_n common_o they_o have_v the_o same_o title_n to_o heaven_n the_o same_o fellowship_n of_o the_o spirit_n yet_o they_o give_v true_a obedience_n to_o their_o master_n though_o they_o have_v fellowship_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o community_n of_o nature_n there_o be_v no_o such_o community_n between_o our_o great_a master_n and_o we_o christian_n there_o be_v a_o infinite_a distance_n between_o god_n and_o we_o therefore_o we_o must_v do_v more_o god_n be_v infinite_o gracious_a he_o power_v out_o more_o blessing_n we_o have_v more_o good_a from_o he_o so_o then_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o do_v so_o but_o more_o therefore_o that_o be_v it_o now_o that_o christian_n will_v lay_v hold_v on_o to_o
