be_v speak_v verse_n 2._o behold_v as_o the_o eye_n of_o servant_n look_v unto_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o master_n and_o as_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o maiden_n unto_o the_o hand_n of_o her_o mistress_n so_o our_o eye_n wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n until_o he_o have_v mercy_n upon_o us._n here_o the_o prophet_n set_v forth_o by_o similitude_n the_o nature_n of_o true_a piety_n as_o if_o he_o say_v great_a be_v our_o affliction_n and_o yet_o the_o lord_n prolong_v his_o help_n neither_o ease_v our_o misery_n nor_o revenge_v our_o wrong_n he_o suffer_v the_o cruel_a the_o proud_a and_o the_o scornful_a to_o trea●_n we_o under_o foot_n and_o to_o prosper_v in_o our_o sight_n this_o delay_n be_v tedious_a &_o grevous_a unto_o we_o notwithstanding_o we_o will_v not_o murmur_v or_o become_v unpatient_a in_o these_o our_o affliction_n but_o as_o good_a servant_n in_o their_o distress_n look_v to_o the_o hand_n that_o be_v for_o help_v and_o succour_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o master_n &_o mistress_n so_o will_v we_o attend_v upon_o y_fw-es lord_n our_o god_n until_o he_o have_v pity_n upon_o us._n tentation_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n sometime_o defer_v his_o help_n neither_o show_v how_o nor_o when_o he_o will_v help_v but_o leave_v his_o saint_n in_o such_o perplexity_n as_o though_o he_o have_v no_o regard_n either_o of_o the_o time_n or_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o deliverance_n so_o that_o they_o seem_v to_o hang_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o mid_n between_o heaven_n and_o earth_n these_o thing_n be_v grevous_a and_o exceed_o increase_v the_o tentation_n therefore_o we_o must_v lay_v sure_a hold_n on_o this_o consolation_n which_o the_o prophet_n here_o set_v forth_o that_o our_o tentation_n shall_v have_v a_o end_n but_o not_o as_o we_o will_v lest_o we_o seem_v to_o appoint_v the_o time_n and_o manner_n of_o our_o deliverance_n which_o the_o lord_n reserve_v to_o himself_o alone_o and_o here_o be_v a_o example_n set_v forth_o unto_o we_o faithful_a patient_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n to_o be_v instant_a in_o prayer_n and_o never_o to_o let_v our_o hand_n fall_v or_o turn_v our_o eye_n from_o the_o lord_n but_o constant_o to_o persevere_v in_o sure_a hope_n &_o expectation_n of_o his_o gracious_a deliverance_n and_o of_o his_o help_a hand_n to_o be_v present_a with_o we_o in_o our_o necessity_n whereof_o our_o saviour_n christ_n also_o warn_v we_o in_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o unrighteous_a judge_n who_o although_o he_o neither_o fear_v god_n nor_o man_n yet_o because_o this_o woman_n never_o cease_v to_o call_v upon_o he_o he_o be_v compel_v to_o hear_v her_o cause_n for_o if_o the_o worst_a man_n be_v not_o yet_o so_o wicked_a but_o he_o may_v be_v overcome_v with_o instant_n and_o continual_a prayer_n what_o shall_v we_o not_o hope_v to_o obtain_v at_o god_n hand_n which_o willing_o offer_v himself_o to_o hear_v our_o prayer_n and_o also_o command_v we_o to_o pray_v yea_o and_o be_v more_o ready_a to_o grant_v our_o petition_n then_o we_o be_v to_o ask_v for_o in_o that_o he_o differ_v his_o help_n he_o do_v it_o not_o because_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v we_o but_o to_o exercise_v and_o stir_v up_o our_o faith_n and_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o way_n whereby_o he_o can_v and_o do_v deliver_v we_o be_v so_o manifold_a &_o miraculous_a that_o we_o be_v never_o able_a to_o conceive_v they_o therefore_o let_v we_o think_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o ask_v be_v not_o deny_v but_o differ_v &_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v not_o neglect_v because_o of_o this_o delay_n the_o patient_a abide_n of_o the_o afflict_a say_v david_n in_o a_o other_o psalm_n shall_v not_o perish_v yea_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o lose_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n which_o david_n in_o the_o same_o psalm_n attribute_v unto_o he_o namely_o that_o he_o be_v a_o helper_n in_o time_n convenient_a and_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v by_o the_o way_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n commend_v the_o government_n of_o household_n and_o family_n in_o this_o place_n and_o signify_v that_o to_o serve_v be_v a_o vocation_n which_o please_v he_o if_o it_o be_v do_v in_o faith_n for_o servant_n be_v here_o mention_v for_o the_o comfort_n of_o all_o good_a servant_n and_o in_o they_o be_v commend_v not_o only_o their_o

in_o their_o sight_n in_o time_n convenient_a but_o in_o deed_n david_n speak_v here_o of_o better_a servant_n than_o be_v common_o see_v at_o this_o day_n for_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o people_n more_o deceitful_a negligent_a and_o stubborn_a even_o when_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n of_o sharp_a and_o severe_a correction_n wherefore_o let_v all_o such_o as_o will_v be_v count_v good_a servant_n remember_v the_o example_n and_o rule_n set_v forth_o here_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o observe_v of_o all_o good_a servant_n which_o be_v that_o they_o be_v not_o froward_a and_o

and_o further_a note_n how_o humble_o the_o faithful_a think_v of_o themselves_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n they_o be_v call_v and_o choose_v to_o this_o dignity_n to_o be_v the_o heir_n and_o

behold_v like_v as_o child_n look_v to_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o father_n but_o as_o servant_n to_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o master_n this_o be_v the_o humility_n and_o modesty_n of_o the_o godly_a &_o it_o be_v so_o far_o of_o that_o hereby_o they_o lose_v the_o dignity_n of_o god_n child_n to_o the_o which_o they_o be_v call_v that_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o be_v make_v to_o they_o more_o

how_o and_o by_o what_o mean_v he_o will_v be_v serve_v and_o worship_v this_o our_o god_n because_o he_o seem_v oftentimes_o to_o estrange_v himself_o from_o we_o and_o to_o have_v no_o care_n of_o

to_o have_v his_o dwell_n in_o zion_n when_o they_o pray_v therefore_o unto_o god_n or_o talk_v of_o god_n they_o do_v it_o according_a to_o that_o form_n and_o manner_n whereby_o god_n have_v

unto_o god_n simple_o and_o without_o all_o respect_n thereof_o yet_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o he_o speak_v not_o otherwise_o to_o god_n then_o as_o he_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o his_o word_n &_o worship_n worship_v like_a as_o we_o ought_v now_o not_o otherwise_o to_o think_v or_o speak_v of_o god_n then_o as_o he_o be_v in_o our_o true_a mercyseat_a christ_n for_o so_o christ_n himself_o say_v unto_o philip_n he_o that_o see_v i_o see_v my_o father_n no_o man_n come_v unto_o my_o father_n but_o by_o i_o when_o we_o have_v attain_v this_o knowledge_n then_o may_v we_o safe_o worship_v

that_o will_v there_o seek_v after_o he_o the_o jew_n therefore_o pray_v before_o the_o ark_n worship_v the_o true_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o god_n by_o his_o word_n have_v promise_v

therefore_o that_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o fasten_v not_o their_o eye_n and_o mind_n upon_o christ_n come_v not_o unto_o god_n but_o worship_v the_o imagination_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n in_o
