the_o praise_n of_o the_o lord_n senacherib_n be_v compel_v to_o say_v who_o list_v to_o read_v that_o history_n and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o his_o grave_n have_v this_o superscription_n that_o he_o confess_v it_o be_v the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n that_o fight_v against_o he_o now_o hear_v you_o at_o the_o same_o present_a what_o say_v the_o spaniard_n they_o be_v compel_v to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o finger_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o mighty_a hand_n of_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n that_o have_v wrought_v this_o overthrow_n without_o the_o help_n of_o any_o creature_n so_o by_o these_o example_n and_o many_o more_o you_o see_v the_o verity_n of_o this_o proposition_n god_n make_v the_o great_a rage_n and_o fury_n of_o his_o enemy_n to_o be_v the_o great_a matter_n of_o his_o praise_n now_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o verse_n he_o meet_v a_o objection_n church_n which_o the_o church_n may_v have_v object_v for_o the_o church_n in_o those_o day_n as_o the_o church_n this_o day_n may_v have_v say_v although_o this_o victory_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v strange_a and_o wonderful_a yet_o he_o have_v not_o slay_v all_o for_o we_o understand_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v not_o make_v all_o christ_n enemy_n his_o footstool_n until_o the_o last_o day_n and_o therefore_o see_v there_o be_v a_o remnant_n of_o they_o who_o be_v endue_v with_o that_o same_o restless_a spirit_n that_o their_o forefather_n be_v before_o they_o can_v rest_v but_o still_o pursue_v and_o come_v against_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n although_o it_o possess_v not_o all_o the_o enemy_n in_o a_o like_a measure_n yet_o they_o be_v all_o possess_v with_o one_o sort_n and_o kind_n of_o spirit_n which_o possess_v their_o elder_a brother_n cain_n to_o wit_n the_o spirit_n of_o persecution_n possess_v they_o all_o where_o ever_o they_o be_v scatter_v and_o as_o cain_n persecute_v his_o brother_n abel_n so_o we_o must_v look_v to_o be_v persecute_v of_o they_o as_o you_o hear_v this_o spirit_n burst_v forth_o in_o horrible_a effect_n which_o come_v to_o your_o ear_n our_o of_o rouen_n out_o of_o paris_n and_o out_o of_o all_o those_o part_n you_o hear_v there_o of_o the_o gr●at_a persecution_n and_o bloody_a rage_n of_o the_o enemy_n which_o testify_v that_o they_o be_v possess_v with_o that_o same_o spirit_n of_o persecution_n where_o with_o their_o elder_a brother_n cain_n be_v possess_v so_o the_o church_n see_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o slay_v all_o but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o remnant_n leave_v who_o be_v endue_v with_o that_o same_o restless_a spirit_n of_o their_o predecessor_n she_o may_v have_v say_v who_o shall_v restrain_v the_o remnant_n of_o the_o rage_n of_o the_o enemy_n for_o although_o that_o here_o they_o be_v call_v a_o remnant_n yet_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o they_o be_v not_o a_o remnant_n but_o a_o huge_a multitude_n therefore_o see_v it_o be_v so_o that_o they_o be_v possess_v with_o this_o spirit_n that_o will_v make_v they_o to_o conjoin_v their_o force_n they_o will_v renew_v their_o assault_n and_o who_o shall_v restrain_v they_o answer_n the_o prophet_n answer_v clear_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o bid_v the_o church_n take_v no_o thought_n of_o their_o rage_n for_o he_o that_o have_v destroy_v the_o root_n will_v destroy_v the_o remnant_n the_o god_n of_o glory_n that_o overthrow_v the_o main_a army_n will_v also_o restrain_v the_o remnant_n the_o church_n have_v no_o more_o ado_n but_o to_o depend_v upon_o the_o god_n of_o army_n and_o he_o shall_v fight_v for_o she_o now_o you_o see_v how_o clear_o and_o easy_o this_o matter_n apply_v itself_o you_o know_v how_o it_o be_v common_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o man_n that_o this_o fleet_n which_o be_v perish_v be_v count_v to_o have_v come_v only_o to_o have_v scour_v the_o water_n and_o to_o have_v espy_v the_o force_n of_o the_o queen_n of_o england_n there_o be_v a_o great_a army_n come_v the_o second_o assault_n shall_v be_v make_v with_o great_a courage_n and_o shall_v have_v a_o better_a success_n this_o be_v the_o common_a objection_n &_o upon_o this_o the_o weak_a one_o of_o the_o church_n may_v ask_v who_o shall_v restrain_v this_o remnant_n and_o who_o shall_v oppose_v unto_o this_o second_o assault_n the_o prophet_n answer_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n shall_v restrain_v the_o second_o assault_n the_o mighty_a god_n of_o this_o isle_n who_o have_v show_v himself_o wonderful_a from_o time_n to_o time_n in_o this_o country_n howsoever_o we_o be_v ingrate_a he_o shall_v restrain_v the_o second_o as_o he_o do_v the_o first_o so_o on_o our_o part_n we_o have_v no_o more_o ado_n but_o to_o hold_v we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v even_o a_o very_a great_a work_n to_o hold_v we_o in_o his_o eye_n for_o by_o bend_v up_o of_o our_o eye_n to_o he_o we_o shall_v draw_v down_o his_o merciful_a eye_n to_o we_o and_o so_o be_v guard_v with_o his_o eye_n and_o be_v environ_v with_o his_o merciful_a protection_n which_o be_v unto_o we_o a_o brazen_a wall_n the_o enemy_n shall_v never_o prevail_v assail_v when_o he_o please_v and_o this_o shall_v be_v do_v only_o by_o hold_v we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n eye_n therefore_o so_o long_o as_o every_o one_o of_o you_o in_o particular_a and_o this_o country_n in_o general_a be_v able_a to_o hold_v themselves_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o eye_n heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o that_o be_v therein_o be_v not_o able_a to_o overcome_v they_o but_o if_o thou_o build_v up_o a_o parpan_n wall_n of_o thy_o own_o make_n between_o thou_o and_o he_o than_o not_o he_o only_o but_o all_o his_o creature_n shall_v be_v fearful_a to_o thou_o and_o ready_a to_o destroy_v thou_o for_o wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o some_o man_n be_v common_o so_o exceed_o afraid_a but_o only_o for_o want_v of_o a_o issue_n and_o we_o have_v this_o issue_n of_o trouble_n only_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o eye_n so_o that_o if_o thou_o keep_v god_n thou_o have_v ever_o a_o sure_a issue_n o_o then_o the_o care_n of_o a_o christian_a shall_v be_v this_o to_o repent_v and_o sorrow_n for_o his_o sin_n past_a to_o demolish_v and_o cast_v down_o this_o parpan_n wall_n of_o iniquity_n that_o it_o grow_v no_o more_o but_o that_o by_o sob_n and_o sigh_n piece_n by_o piece_n it_o may_v be_v demolish_v no_o question_n the_o more_o sin_n be_v remove_v the_o more_o we_o be_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o eye_n and_o the_o more_o we_o see_v he_o the_o great_a comfort_n shall_v we_o get_v all_o manner_n of_o way_n there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o be_v save_v but_o by_o this_o thus_o far_o concern_v the_o second_o part_n of_o our_o division_n now_o in_o the_o three_o part_n which_o be_v in_o the_o last_o two_o verse_n thankfulness_n he_o conclude_v with_o a_o notable_a exhortation_n that_o see_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n have_v deserve_v so_o well_o of_o she_o she_o shall_v show_v herself_o thankful_a the_o least_o thing_n that_o she_o can_v do_v be_v to_o praise_v the_o name_n of_o god_n yea_o sure_o it_o be_v the_o least_o thing_n therefore_o he_o say_v vow_n and_o perform_v your_o vow_n vow_v to_o testify_v your_o thankfulness_n perform_v your_o vow_n to_o testify_v your_o obedience_n and_o how_o ready_a you_o be_v to_o serve_v so_o good_a a_o god_n by_o vow_n here_o he_o understandeth_v not_o these_o foolish_a vow_n but_o the_o action_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n for_o so_o oft_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n make_v mention_n of_o vow_n so_o oft_o he_o mean_v of_o vow_n of_o thanksgiving_n as_o you_o may_v see_v clear_o in_o this_o book_n of_o the_o psalm_n as_o namely_o in_o the_o 50.55.60.61.65_o and_o 66._o psalm_n and_o to_o vow_v to_o thank_v god_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o it_o yea_o we_o have_v our_o warrant_n for_o it_o and_o these_o sort_n of_o vow_n be_v very_o profitable_a for_o we_o have_v two_o great_a benefit_n by_o they_o first_o they_o stir_v up_o &_o confirm_v our_o faith_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o any_o great_a extremity_n and_o promise_v to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n if_o he_o be_v deliver_v it_o strengthen_v his_o faith_n and_o make_v he_o to_o look_v the_o more_o for_o his_o delivery_n and_o again_o when_o the_o delivery_n be_v past_a that_o we_o be_v return_v to_o our_o own_o home_n if_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o for_o very_a shame_n &_o keep_v of_o the_o promise_n that_o we_o make_v we_o can_v but_o be_v thankful_a so_o these_o sort_n of_o vow_n be_v good_a &_o aught_o to_o be_v vow_v and_o perform_v but_o those_o unlawful_a vow_n of_o the_o papist_n have_v no_o ground_n here_o neither_o
