we_o in_o this_o psalm_n with_o thankfulness_n to_o acknowledge_v this_o singular_a benefit_n of_o the_o word_n and_o to_o beware_v of_o the_o horrible_a contempt_n thereof_o how_o much_o better_a be_v it_o to_o suffer_v pestilence_n famine_n and_o the_o sword_n how_o much_o more_o tolerable_a for_o david_n to_o become_v both_o a_o adulterer_n and_o a_o murderer_n so_o that_o there_o remain_v a_o reverence_n to_o the_o word_n which_o repentance_n necessary_o bring_v with_o it_o then_o to_o fall_v so_o far_o as_o to_o contemn_v the_o word_n for_o this_o be_v to_o heap_v wrath_n upon_o wrath_n like_v as_o it_o be_v to_o heap_v grace_n upon_o grace_n with_o david_n to_o hold_v fast_o the_o word_n and_o withal_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o great_a benefit_n thereof_o to_o be_v brief_a like_a as_o there_o be_v no_o great_a joy_n and_o felicity_n to_o the_o godly_a then_o to_o hear_v and_o to_o know_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n speak_v unto_o they_o offer_v grace_n peace_n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o life_n everlasting_a so_o can_v there_o be_v to_o they_o no_o great_a cross_n than_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o word_n for_o what_o do_v thou_o else_o but_o contemn_v god_n himself_o yea_o crucify_v again_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o tread_v thy_o saviour_n under_o thy_o foot_n when_o thou_o contemn_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o for_o thy_o salvation_n be_v reveil_v &_o offer_v unto_o thou_o no_o mortal_a man_n can_v abide_v such_o intolerable_a contempt_n as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n continual_o suffer_v for_o he_o be_v patient_a and_o will_v that_o we_o shall_v convert_v and_o repent_v but_o he_o pay_v home_o at_o the_o length_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o synagogue_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o christ_n plain_o show_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o such_o horrible_a calamity_n be_v for_o that_o they_o do_v not_o know_v the_o time_n of_o their_o visitation_n let_v we_o learn_v then_o by_o these_o example_n what_o a_o great_a blessing_n it_o be_v to_o hear_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n speak_v unto_o we_o and_o as_o a_o tender_a mother_n with_o her_o child_n most_o love_o talk_v with_o we_o for_o this_o be_v it_o

of_o pestilence_n and_o a_o den_n of_o wicked_a spirit_n this_o be_v then_o the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n in_o this_o place_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v fulfil_v

more_o absurd_a and_o contrary_a to_o reason_n then_o that_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v be_v shut_v up_o in_o that_o darkness_n therefore_o to_o confirm_v their_o mind_n herein_o he_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n which_o dwell_v in_o zion_n be_v the_o maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n this_o have_v we_o often_o declare_v and_o necessary_a it_o be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v
