city_n of_o refuge_n in_o the_o jewish_a nation_n to_o which_o the_o offender_n have_v his_o recourse_n for_o safety_n from_o his_o persuer_fw-mi and_o avenger_n of_o blood_n and_o to_o who_o

show_n and_o to_o turn_v to_o their_o best_a as_o the_o hatred_n and_o sell_v of_o joseph_n brethren_n do_v unto_o he_o from_o which_o acknowledgement_n of_o god_n goodness_n to_o he_o and_o deliverance_n of_o he_o he_o gather_v two_o conclusion_n 1._o that_o therefore_o he_o will_v trust_v in_o he_o and_o so_o make_v use_n of_o he_o by_o go_v experience_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v as_o he_o do_v when_o he_o encounter_v with_o goliath_n and_o 2._o that_o as_o by_o prayer_n and_o call_n upon_o god_n he_o have_v former_o find_v favour_n and_o deliverance_n from_o his_o enemy_n so_o he_o will_v therefore_o continue_v upon_o these_o two_o ground_n 1._o because_o the_o lord_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v praise_v for_o his_o deliverance_n which_o he_o give_v and_o therefore_o worthy_a to_o be_v pray_v unto_o and_o that_o deliverance_n be_v still_o seek_v from_o he_o as_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o do_v psal_n 50._o 15._o 2._o because_o of_o the_o good_a that_o he_o shall_v

from_o the_o work_n of_o his_o deliverance_n from_o the_o 17._o verse_n to_o the_o 21._o first_o then_o he_o set_v forth_o his_o misery_n rank_v they_o in_o four_o sort_n or_o expression_n 1._o the_o
