mean_n how_o man_n take_v consolation_n in_o adversity_n that_o the_o prophet_n now_o make_v mention_n of_o first_o we_o learn_v what_o difference_n be_v between_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n work_v advise_o &_o by_o faith_n &_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n work_v rash_o &_o without_o faith_n the_o which_o diversity_n be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o this_o prophet_n for_o the_o one_o part_n as_o touch_v the_o remember_n of_o god_n work_n out_o of_o faith_n and_o in_o faith_n he_o speak_v before_o in_o the_o second_o verse_n and_o in_o the_o four_o verse_n how_o that_o he_o consider_v the_o work_n and_o old_a do_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o be_v trouble_v but_o as_o you_o have_v hear_v because_o his_o spirit_n be_v in_o a_o doubtfulness_n and_o mamere_n upon_o the_o certainty_n of_o god_n do_n he_o feel_v no_o consolation_n thereof_o but_o much_o heaviness_n and_o anguish_n of_o mind_n for_o those_o demand_n will_v god_n absent_v himself_o for_o ever_o will_v he_o be_v no_o more_o merciful_a and_o such_o like_a heavy_a and_o doubtful_a complaint_n can_v never_o proceed_v but_o from_o a_o sorrowful_a and_o much_o trouble_a conscience_n but_o now_o after_o that_o god_n spirit_n have_v wrought_v in_o his_o spirit_n this_o assurance_n and_o judgement_n that_o god_n can_v in_o he_o change_v the_o condition_n of_o his_o misery_n as_o you_o may_v see_v he_o make_v no_o

comfortable_o how_o that_o god_n in_o time_n past_o help_v trouble_v spirit_n and_o afflict_a personage_n that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o so_o that_o of_o this_o we_o learn_v that_o whosoever_o have_v a_o sure_a faith_n in_o god_n take_v consolation_n of_o god_n word_n and_o work_n and_o such_o as_o have_v not_o first_o true_a faith_n in_o god_n can_v in_o the_o spirit_n receive_v comfort_n
