first_o it_o arise_v from_o that_o infinite_a strength_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n make_v over_o to_o his_o servant_n if_o he_o ride_v in_o his_o excellency_n on_o the_o sky_n if_o he_o will_v undertake_v for_o we_o if_o he_o will_v be_v our_o refuge_n who_o be_v the_o everlasting_a arm_n if_o they_o lie_v under_o it_o be_v impossible_a notwithstanding_o all_o enemy_n we_o shall_v fall_v he_o will_v thrust_v they_o utter_o out_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o power_n of_o satan_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o power_n of_o sin_n no_o power_n of_o death_n but_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v it_o shall_v be_v shut_v out_o for_o ever_o in_o the_o lake_n he_o will_v say_v thrust_v they_o out_o and_o destroy_v they_o if_o he_o i_o say_v undertake_v how_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o if_o he_o will_v ride_v in_o the_o heaven_n for_o our_o sake_n we_o shall_v therefore_o often_o say_v to_o ourselves_o let_v we_o consider_v in_o all_o the_o jealousy_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o of_o our_o weak_a being_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o these_o have_v we_o not_o a_o eternal_a god_n have_v we_o not_o a_o infinite_a and_o omnipotent_a be_v if_o he_o take_v such_o a_o drop_n of_o be_v as_o i_o be_o this_o tremble_a drop_n and_o if_o he_o will_v say_v i_o will_v enclose_v this_o little_a drop_n in_o my_o own_o omnipotency_n and_o set_v it_o in_o the_o ocean_n of_o my_o own_o immense_a be_v and_o i_o will_v take_v care_n and_o secure_v it_o every_o moment_n how_o safe_a be_v we_o as_o we_o find_v in_o that_o song_n god_n command_v to_o be_v sing_v isa_n 27._o 2_o 3._o in_o that_o day_n sing_v you_o unto_o she_o a_o vineyard_n of_o red_a wine_n i_o the_o lord_n do_v keep_v it_o i_o will_v water_v it_o every_o moment_n i_o will_v keep_v it_o and_o sustain_v it_o from_o the_o first_o to_o the_o last_o from_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o the_o creation_n to_o eternity_n and_o from_o elect_v love_n in_o eternity_n throughout_o eternity_n of_o age_n i_o the_o lord_n will_v keep_v it_o i_o will_v water_v it_o every_o moment_n lest_o any_o hurt_n it_o i_o will_v keep_v it_o night_n and_o day_n and_o so_o it_o arise_v from_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o god_n and_o from_o that_o unchangeableness_n that_o he_o will_v never_o fail_v that_o he_o will_v never_o take_v off_o his_o help_n and_o therefore_o god_n strength_n be_v our_o strength_n and_o god_n eternity_n be_v our_o security_n and_o the_o certainty_n of_o our_o state_n of_o life_n o_o how_o excellent_a therefore_o be_v that_o in_o the_o 40th_o of_o isaiah_n 27_o verse_n why_o say_v thou_o o_o jacob_n and_o speak_v o_o israel_n my_o way_n be_v hide_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o my_o judgement_n be_v pass_v over_o from_o my_o god_n have_v thou_o not_o know_v have_v thou_o not_o hear_v that_o the_o everlasting_a god_n the_o lord_n the_o creator_n of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n faint_v not_o neither_o be_v weary_a there_o be_v no_o search_v of_o his_o understanding_n he_o give_v power_n to_o the_o faint_a and_o to_o they_o that_o have_v no_o might_n he_o increase_v strength_n even_o the_o youth_n shall_v faint_v and_o he_o weary_a and_o the_o young_a man_n shall_v utter_o fail_v but_o they_o that_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n shall_v renew_v their_o strength_n they_o shall_v mount_v up_o with_o wing_n as_o eagle_n they_o shall_v run_v and_o not_o be_v weary_a they_o shall_v walk_v and_o not_o faint_a o_o if_o we_o can_v read_v and_o meditate_v and_o unite_v and_o consolidate_v such_o a_o scripture_n as_o this_o with_o our_o own_o heart_n with_o what_o certainty_n may_v we_o

the_o earth_n faint_v not_o neither_o be_v weary_a there_o be_v no_o search_v of_o his_o understanding_n he_o give_v power_n to_o the_o faint_a etc._n etc._n and_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o arise_v from_o that_o great_a interposer_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n into_o who_o hand_n he_o have_v entrust_v strength_n and_o lay_v help_n upon_o he_o because_o he_o be_v mighty_a i_o be_o persuade_v we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o speak_v of_o the_o great_a security_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v between_o the_o eternal_a god_n and_o such_o creature_n as_o we_o be_v we_o do_v not_o know_v it_o we_o shall_v know_v it_o but_o we_o do_v not_o yet_o know_v it_o no_o one_o be_v able_a to_o express_v it_o to_o we_o as_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v we_o be_v not_o

matter_n of_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o we_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o say_v it_o otherwise_o but_o oh_o

in_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o john_n 5_o chapter_n 4_o ver._n say_v he_o whatsoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n overcome_v the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v the_o victory_n that_o overcome_v the_o

let_v we_o go_v out_o and_o prevail_v o_o how_o will_v it_o raise_v we_o above_o this_o world_n above_o the_o fear_n of_o it_o above_o the_o delight_n of_o it_o above_o the_o pleasure_n of_o it_o if_o
