that_o bring_v thing_n to_o pass_v therefore_o that_o must_v be_v remember_v use_v the_o mean_n that_o you_o use_v with_o dependence_n upon_o god_n with_o a_o eye_n upon_o he_o that_o your_o heart_n rest_v not_o upon_o they_o for_o if_o they_o do_v it_o be_v a_o inordinate_a use_n of_o they_o last_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o stick_v in_o any_o particular_a mean_n for_o if_o you_o do_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n caution_n trust_v not_o god_n as_o you_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o be_v a_o fault_n common_o we_o pitch_v upon_o such_o a_o particular_a way_n and_o we_o think_v that_o must_v do_v it_o or_o nothing_o now_o if_o god_n be_v trust_v to_o he_o have_v more_o way_n to_o the_o wood_n than_o one_o he_o have_v more_o mean_n to_o bring_v a_o thing_n to_o pass_v then_o one_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o he_o who_o often_o do_v it_o best_o by_o another_o mean_n than_o we_o dream_v of_o as_o for_o example_n david_n have_v a_o promise_n of_o the_o kingdom_n now_o when_o he_o have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n yet_o you_o know_v the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n stand_v out_o for_o ishbosheth_n have_v the_o kingdom_n and_o abner_n be_v his_o chief_a captain_n beside_o in_o his_o come_n into_o his_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n we_o see_v how_o god_n wrought_v the_o business_n without_o device_n by_o a_o mean_n that_o he_o never_o think_v of_o in_o that_o battle_n when_o saul_n be_v kill_v and_o so_o many_o of_o his_o son_n there_o be_v so_o much_o way_n make_v for_o he_o when_o himself_o use_v no_o mean_n to_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v afterwards_o when_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n be_v keep_v from_o he_o and_o he_o have_v only_a judah_n we_o see_v god_n cause_v a_o division_n between_o ishbosheth_n and_o abner_n his_o chief_a captain_n upon_o that_o come_v abner_n and_o offer_v to_o david_n the_o whole_a kingdom_n but_o yet_o he_o be_v but_o a_o reconcile_a enemy_n and_o what_o abner_n may_v have_v do_v he_o know_v not_o therefore_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n though_o joab_n sin_v in_o it_o cause_v abner_n to_o be_v take_v away_o by_o joab_n when_o this_o be_v do_v yet_o ishbosheth_n be_v alive_a still_o then_o be_v there_o two_o man_n set_v by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n though_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o they_o to_o take_v away_o his_o head_n and_o so_o the_o kingdom_n come_v whole_o to_o david_n for_o there_o be_v but_o two_o son_n mephibosheth_n that_o be_v lame_a of_o his_o foot_n and_o ishbosheth_n that_o be_v lame_a in_o his_o mind_n a_o weak_a man_n unable_a to_o manage_v so_o great_a and_o weighty_a a_o business_n to_o purpose_n so_o god_n bring_v the_o business_n to_o pass_v by_o a_o way_n that_o david_n think_v not_o off_o therefore_o though_o we_o may_v use_v mean_n yet_o after_o the_o use_n of_o they_o we_o must_v depend_v upon_o god_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n to_o take_v one_o mean_n or_o other_o we_o must_v do_v in_o this_o case_n as_o we_o do_v when_o we_o go_v to_o a_o man_n that_o be_v very_o simile_n skilful_a to_o do_v a_o work_n for_o we_o if_o we_o go_v to_o a_o carpenter_n and_o tell_v he_o we_o have_v such_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v or_o if_o we_o go_v to_o those_o

then_o that_o be_v require_v require_v i_o say_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v a_o father_n that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o hear_v and_o not_o ans._n only_o that_o he_o be_v

for_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o for_o your_o good_a and_o if_o you_o do_v so_o you_o pray_v in_o faith_n though_o for_o the_o particular_a you_o know_v not_o whether_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v or_o

particular_a thing_n shall_v be_v grant_v for_o example_n if_o a_o father_n pray_v that_o his_o son_n may_v have_v grace_n wrought_v in_o his_o heart_n that_o his_o soul_n may_v be_v save_v it_o may_v
