observe_v the_o sweet_a harmony_n and_o joynt-agreement_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v here_o with_o my_o text_n the_o self_n same_o language_n express_v but_o second_o take_v notice_n with_o what_o zeal_n and_o affection_n and_o cordial_a desire_n the_o prophet_n declare_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n oh_o lord_n say_v he_o thy_o name_n endure_v for_o ever_o and_o when_o he_o speakeh_o

of_o god_n name_n first_o his_o faithfulness_n he_o will_v judge_v his_o people_n or_o plead_v for_o they_o second_o his_o mercy_n and_o he_o will_v repent_v himself_o concern_v his_o servant_n and_o that_o be_v in_o keep_v back_o the_o intend_a evil_n and_o give_v they_o the_o promise_v good_a one_o text_n more_o and_o then_o i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o isaiah_n 63.15_o 16._o the_o people_n and_o church_n of_o god_n at_o that_o time_n as_o it_o be_v now_o be_v in_o a_o very_a miserable_a and_o deplorable_a state_n as_o may_v be_v discern_v by_o their_o expression_n in_o their_o request_n look_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o behold_v from_o the_o habitation_n of_o thy_o holiness_n and_o glory_n and_o the_o church_n seem_v to_o remind_v the_o lord_n of_o some_o remissness_n in_o some_o thing_n as_o if_o god_n have_v be_v want_v to_o some_o of_o his_o distress_a people_n and_o so_o have_v forsake_v they_o and_o therefore_o in_o vehement_a sorrow_n say_v where_o be_v thy_o zeal_n thy_o strength_n the_o sound_v of_o thy_o bowel_n and_o of_o thy_o mercy_n be_v they_o restrain_v as_o if_o this_o poor_a people_n shall_v say_v ah_o lord_n our_o condition_n be_v sad_a our_o state_n miserable_a and_o thou_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o stranger_n where_o be_v thy_o zeal_n thy_o affection_n to_o we_o how_o do_v that_o seem_v to_o decline_v and_o decay_v where_o be_v thy_o strength_n that_o shall_v be_v most_o helpful_a to_o we_o now_o oh_o where_o be_v the_o sound_v of_o thy_o bowel_n and_o mercy_n where_o be_v that_o yearning_n of_o bowel_n that_o sympathize_v that_o compassionate_a melt_a commiserate_v of_o thy_o people_n misery_n ah_o lord_n say_v they_o be_v they_o restrain_v be_v they_o bind_v up_o be_v thou_o grow_v obdurate_a against_o thy_o poor_a people_n now_o do_v but_o observe_v what_o argument_n this_o poor_a afflict_a people_n use_v and_o from_o thence_o draw_v comfort_n first_o the_o interest_n they_o have_v in_o god_n donbtless_o say_v they_o without_o all_o doubt_n thou_o be_v our_o father_n though_o abraham_n be_v ignorant_a of_o we_o and_o thou_o be_v our_o father_n though_o israel_n acknowledge_v we_o not_o from_o hence_o you_o may_v observe_v three_o thing_n 1._o that_o saint_n in_o the_o great_a of_o misery_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o interest_n they_o have_v in_o god_n 2._o interest_n in_o god_n be_v of_o great_a support_n to_o saint_n in_o time_n of_o great_a strait_n this_o have_v bear_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n people_n in_o their_o trial_n and_o suffering_n what_o if_o all_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n be_v my_o enemy_n and_o all_o the_o malice_n and_o envy_n of_o man_n my_o accuser_n and_o all_o the_o devil_n my_o tormentor_n yet_o if_o god_n be_v my_o father_n if_o i_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o he_o i_o have_v all_o unspeakable_a help_n relief_n and_o support_n 3._o the_o certain_a assure_a knowledge_n of_o the_o interest_n in_o god_n afford_v great_a comfort_n satisfaction_n and_o contentment_n to_o such_o though_o other_o know_v it_o not_o or_o be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o though_o abraham_n be_v ignorant_a of_o we_o yet_o thou_o be_v our_o father_n a_o second_o argument_n that_o these_o people_n suck_v comfort_n from_o be_v the_o remembrance_n of_o god_n name_n and_o therefore_o say_v thy_o name_n be_v from_o everlasting_a as_o if_o the_o church_n shall_v say_v though_o i_o be_o afflict_v and_o suffer_v yet_o the_o name_n of_o my_o god_n remain_v yea_o it_o be_v from_o everlasting_a hence_o observe_v that_o god_n everlasting_a name_n afford_v last_a comfort_n to_o his_o people_n the_o three_o argument_n be_v the_o relation_n they_o have_v to_o god_n and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o last_o verse_n we_o be_v thou_o thy_o peculiar_a people_n in_o covenant_n with_o thou_o and_o thou_o never_o rule_a over_o the_o heathen_a thou_o never_o have_v that_o rule_n and_o reign_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o conscience_n as_o thou_o do_v over_o and_o in_o we_o and_o we_o be_v call_v by_o thy_o name_n we_o do_v represent_v thou_o to_o the_o world_n thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o first_o thing_n premise_v now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n propose_v and_o that_o be_v to_o declare_v how_o or_o wherein_o god_n name_v i_o be_o be_v the_o same_o to_o his_o people_n in_o all_o age_n and_o that_o this_o truth_n be_v of_o such_o weight_n and_o concernment_n that_o it_o be_v able_a to_o comfort_v and_o consolate_v the_o heart_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n people_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o trouble_n and_o suffering_n in_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v wherein_o god_n name_n be_v the_o same_o to_o his_o people_n and_o first_o as_o touch_v god_n power_n his_o power_n and_o strength_n be_v very_o great_a that_o let_v the_o trouble_n be_v never_o so_o many_o and_o never_o so_o great_a yet_o god_n power_n be_v as_o great_a yea_o great_a we_o will_v first_o consult_v with_o some_o scripture_n that_o speak_v aloud_o to_o this_o truth_n and_o then_o apply_v it_o nahum_n 1.3_o the_o lord_n be_v great_a in_o power_n oh_o believe_v this_o truth_n and_o it_o will_v administer_v comfort_n in_o your_o strait_n be_v your_o suffering_n great_a remember_v the_o lord_n be_v great_a in_o power_n deut._n 9.29_o speak_v of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v thou_o bring_v they_o out_o by_o thy_o mighty_a power_n as_o god_n have_v mighty_a power_n so_o it_o be_v engage_v for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n luke_n 9.43_o and_o they_o be_v all_o amaze_v at_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n god_n power_n be_v so_o mighty_a that_o it_o amaze_v the_o very_a adversary_n of_o his_o people_n psal_n 147.5_o great_a be_v our_o lord_n and_o of_o great_a power_n we_o have_v a_o peculiar_a relation_n to_o he_o that_o have_v this_o great_a power_n he_o be_v our_o lord_n gen._n 17.1_o i_o be_o the_o almighty_a god_n walk_v before_o i_o and_o be_v thou_o perfect_a god_n have_v here_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o almighty_a god_n the_o alsufficient_a god_n able_a to_o answer_v and_o supply_v all_o want_n and_o necessity_n as_o if_o god_n shall_v say_v to_o abraham_n walk_v thou_o before_o i_o and_o
so_o many_o while_o the_o world_n continue_v oh_o lay_v up_o this_o word_n of_o god_n in_o your_o heart_n our_o god_n be_v a_o faithful_a god_n 1_o cor._n 10.13_o god_n be_v faithful_a who_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o what_o you_o be_v able_a but_o will_v with_o the_o temptation_n make_v a_o way_n to_o escape_v that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v it_o the_o faithfulness_n of_o god_n be_v as_o much_o engage_v in_o his_o people_n suffering_n as_o any_o other_o of_o his_o attribute_n in_o his_o people_n suffering_n his_o faithfulness_n be_v engage_v three_o

even_o ready_a to_o sink_v under_o they_o well_o remember_v your_o god_n name_n i_o be_o that_o i_o be_o he_o be_v the_o faithful_a god_n as_o faithful_a now_o as_o ever_o psal_n 36.5_o thy_o mercy_n o_o lord_n be_v in_o the_o heaven_n and_o thy_o faithfulness_n reach_v to_o the_o cloud_n this_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o the_o multitude_n or_o abundance_n of_o god_n faithfulness_n that_o it_o

dispensation_n will_v be_v see_v in_o the_o earth_n yet_o god_n faithfulness_n abide_v still_o it_o endure_v unto_o all_o generation_n therefore_o no_o soul_n in_o what_o age_n or_o state_n soever_o shall_v be_v cast_v down_o or_o trouble_v but_o to_o mind_v the_o name_n of_o god_n i_o be_o that_o i_o be_o the_o faithful_a god_n oh_o that_o christian_n in_o all_o their_o trouble_n and_o
