meekness_n under_o the_o reproof_n of_o samuel_n who_o he_o have_v bring_v up_o from_o a_o child_n eli_n be_v a_o very_a old_a man_n samuel_n but_o a_o youth_n in_o effect_n yet_o when_o he_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o these_o sad_a tiding_n to_o he_o he_o repli_v it_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v he_o do_v what_o seem_v he_o good_a few_o man_n love_v their_o reprover_n or_o messenger_n of_o evil_a tiding_n but_o so_o do_v elimine_n so_o do_v david_n he_o be_v not_o angry_a with_o nathan_n but_o relent_v towards_o the_o lord_n 2_o sam._n 12.13_o and_o david_n say_v unto_o nathan_n i_o have_v

people_n they_o receive_v the_o rebuke_n with_o meekness_n and_o confess_v their_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o humble_o submit_v to_o his_o chastisement_n doct._n that_o god_n people_n have_v attain_v a_o good_a degree_n of_o grace_n when_o they_o can_v absolute_o resign_v themselves_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n let_v i_o show_v you_o i._n what_o be_v this_o resignation_n to_o the_o will_n of_o

david_n 2_o sam._n 15.25_o 26._o and_o the_o king_n say_v unto_o zadock_n carry_v back_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n into_o the_o city_n if_o i_o shall_v find_v favour_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o will_v bring_v i_o again_o and_o show_v i_o both_o it_o and_o his_o habitation_n but_o if_o he_o thus_o say_v i_o have_v no_o delight_n in_o thou_o behold_v here_o be_o i_o let_v he_o do_v to_o i_o as_o seem_v good_a unto_o he_o see_v how_o sweet_o and_o meek_o he_o submit_v to_o god_n pleasure_n whole_o deny_v himself_o and_o his_o own_o will_n and_o resign_v up_o person_n life_n crown_n

glorify_v thy_o name_n we_o learn_v of_o christ_n when_o we_o be_v in_o great_a perplexity_n and_o know_v not_o the_o event_n that_o we_o shall_v absolute_o submit_v all_o thing_n to_o his_o will_n with_o respect_n to_o his_o glory_n for_o sure_o god_n will_v determine_v and_o cast_v matter_n so_o as_o it_o may_v be_v for_o his_o own_o honour_n and_o our_o good_n christ_n consult_v not_o with_o

air_n will_v descend_v and_o water_n ascend_v to_o avoid_v a_o vacuity_n or_o to_o preserve_v a_o continuity_n in_o the_o world_n now_o of_o this_o resignation_n shall_v i_o speak_v for_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a that_o man_n shall_v have_v the_o disposal_n of_o himself_o or_o his_o condition_n and_o affair_n or_o that_o he_o shall_v accommodate_v his_o providence_n to_o their_o carnal_a interest_n and_o will_n or_o else_o he_o can_v bear_v it_o or_o think_v well_o of_o it_o no_o god_n will_n must_v always_o precede_v and_o we_o follow_v alas_o we_o have_v a_o corrupt_a will_n guide_v by_o a_o dark_a understanding_n and_o if_o the_o blind_a lead_n the_o lame_a what_o can_v be_v expect_v but_o disorder_n and_o ruin_n therefore_o our_o will_n must_v not_o lead_v and_o make_v the_o first_o
