not_o and_o therefore_o how_o be_v god_n say_v to_o be_v the_o confidence_n of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o this_o we_o must_v answer_v according_a to_o a_o double_a acception_n of_o these_o word_n the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n they_o may_v be_v take_v either_o collective_o or_o else_o distributive_o 1._o if_o we_o take_v these_o word_n collective_o for_o all_o nation_n in_o all_o place_n then_o two_o thing_n may_v be_v answer_v to_o the_o question_n 1._o though_o many_o nation_n as_o yet_o know_v not_o god_n yet_o in_o those_o nation_n there_o be_v sufficient_a mean_n give_v from_o god_n to_o let_v they_o know_v that_o he_o only_o shall_v be_v their_o trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o all_o nation_n there_o be_v such_o demonstration_n of_o god_n power_n such_o declaration_n of_o his_o goodness_n that_o he_o have_v not_o leave_v himself_o without_o witness_n and_o that_o he_o only_o be_v to_o be_v depend_v on_o for_o all_o their_o good_a and_o to_o be_v trust_v and_o confide_v in_o two_o scripture_n prove_v this_o we_o say_v saint_n paul_n preach_v to_o you_o that_o you_o shall_v turn_v to_o the_o live_a god_n which_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o the_o sea_n and_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v therein_o who_o in_o time_n pass_v suffer_v all_o nation_n 17._o to_o walk_v in_o their_o own_o way_n notwithstanding_o he_o leave_v not_o himself_o without_o witness_n in_o that_o he_o do_v good_a and_o give_v we_o rain_v from_o heaven_n and_o fruitful_a season_n fill_v our_o heart_n with_o food_n and_o gladness_n we_o see_v that_o god_n vouchsafe_v to_o all_o nation_n common_a outward_a temporal_a mercy_n that_o very_a heathen_n if_o they_o will_v but_o observe_v and_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o may_v thence_o have_v sufficient_a proof_n and_o witness_n that_o he_o only_o be_v to_o be_v trust_v in_o and_o so_o likewise_o god_n severity_n and_o judgement_n in_o smite_v nation_n as_o yet_o not_o know_v he_o these_o be_v proof_n that_o such_o nation_n ought_v to_o know_v that_o god_n only_o be_v to_o be_v confide_v in_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n against_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n who_o hold_v 20._o the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n because_o that_o which_o may_v be_v know_v of_o god_n be_v manifest_a in_o they_o for_o god_n have_v show_v it_o to_o they_o for_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o he_o from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v clear_o see_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v make_v even_o his_o eternal_a power_n and_o godhead_n so_o that_o they_o be_v without_o excuse_n so_o then_o though_o many_o nation_n do_v not_o actual_o make_v god_n their_o confidence_n yet_o god_n have_v witness_v to_o they_o that_o he_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v their_o only_a trust_n and_o confidence_n 2._o though_o many_o nation_n do_v not_o as_o yet_o make_v god_n their_o confidence_n yet_o all_o nation_n shall_v one_o day_n do_v so_o and_o so_o for_o the_o present_a it_o be_v prophetical_o true_a that_o god_n be_v the_o confidence_n of_o all_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n david_n in_o spirit_n foresee_v the_o great_a honour_n and_o glory_n which_o god_n shall_v have_v in_o all_o nation_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n and_o know_v what_o god_n will_v do_v in_o these_o late_a day_n he_o see_v this_o before_o speak_v of_o the_o universal_a adoration_n of_o god_n in_o all_o nation_n and_o of_o their_o take_v he_o for_o their_o only_a god_n in_o a_o confidential_a repose_v themselves_o on_o he_o and_o because_o of_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o fulfillance_n of_o all_o this_o in_o due_a time_n therefore_o david_n speak_v of_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v already_o come_v to_o pass_v and_o here_o he_o call_v god_n the_o confidence_n of_o all_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o those_o who_o be_v a_o far_o off_o upon_o the_o sea_n this_o be_v not_o only_o employ_v in_o this_o title_n here_o ascribe_v to_o god_n but_o david_n have_v so_o much_o in_o another_o place_n ask_v of_o i_o and_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o heathen_a for_o thy_o inheritance_n and_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o 27._o earth_n for_o thy_o possession_n and_o again_o all_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n 8._o shall_v remember_v themselves_o and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o all_o the_o kindred_n of_o the_o nation_n shall_v worship_v before_o he_o and_o again_o he_o 11._o shall_v have_v dominion_n from_o sea_n to_o sea_n and_o from_o the_o river_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n all_o king_n shall_v fall_v down_o before_o he_o all_o nation_n shall_v serve_v he_o take_v then_o the_o word_n as_o prophetical_o speak_v of_o the_o time_n when_o god_n shall_v by_o terrible_a thing_n shake_v the_o nation_n be_v the_o desire_n of_o his_o people_n and_o then_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o he_o have_v be_v the_o saviour_n of_o he_o from_o all_o their_o trouble_n and_o oppression_n and_o then_o all_o nation_n will_v come_v in_o and_o choose_v he_o for_o their_o god_n and_o lord_n one_o nation_n after_o another_o till_o all_o have_v make_v he_o their_o confidence_n and_o so_o in_o time_n these_o word_n shall_v be_v full_o accomplish_v that_o god_n be_v the_o confidence_n of_o all_o the_o world_n of_o all_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n if_o the_o word_n be_v handle_v in_o this_o sense_n according_a to_o this_o exposition_n they_o will_v afford_v much_o instruction_n touch_v the_o expectation_n which_o we_o be_v to_o have_v of_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o concerning_o direction_n to_o pray_v for_o it_o that_o the_o arm_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v reveal_v to_o all_o people_n according_a to_o that_o of_o david_n god_n be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o and_o bless_v 1._o we_o and_o cause_v his_o face_n to_o shine_v on_o we_o that_o thy_o way_n may_v be_v know_v on_o earth_n thy_o save_a health_n among_o all_o nation_n it_o be_v a_o blessing_n and_o mercy_n from_o god_n on_o his_o church_n that_o for_o the_o present_a it_o know_v he_o but_o it_o will_v be_v a_o new_a glimpse_n of_o the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n on_o it_o when_o the_o nation_n come_v thorough_o to_o understand_v and_o praise_v he_o aright_o with_o it_o as_o their_o only_a confidence_n we_o shall_v expect_v this_o and_o pray_v for_o it_o and_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o remove_v all_o impediment_n of_o it_o which_o for_o the_o present_a be_v very_o great_a for_o every_o valley_n must_v be_v fill_v and_o every_o mountain_n and_o 5._o hill_n must_v be_v bring_v low_a the_o crooked_a must_v be_v make_v straight_o and_o the_o rough_a way_n make_v smooth_a people_n of_o low_a and_o high_a rank_n in_o

which_o god_n have_v set_v out_o to_o the_o world_n there_o be_v no_o other_o name_n under_o heaven_n by_o which_o 12._o man_n can_v save_v these_o thing_n may_v be_v prosecute_v with_o much_o

the_o thing_n now_o speak_v of_o to_o be_v very_o true_a let_v it_o suffice_v we_o to_o know_v that_o these_o word_n be_v prophetical_o true_a god_n be_v the_o confidence_n of_o all_o nation_n
