our_o trust_n in_o god_n there_o will_v be_v no_o cause_n for_o we_o to_o despond_v see_v god_n can_v defend_v we_o without_o any_o humane_a help_n and_o as_o i_o have_v now_o show_v you_o have_v often_o do_v it_o when_o we_o can_v have_v be_v protect_v by_o none_o but_o he_o and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o next_o thing_n i_o have_v to_o observe_v from_o the_o forego_n discourse_n and_o that_o be_v five_o that_o we_o shall_v therefore_o be_v sure_a never_o to_o depart_v from_o our_o trust_n in_o god_n and_o then_o we_o may_v be_v confident_a we_o shall_v not_o be_v forsake_v by_o he_o for_o god_n love_v to_o be_v depend_v upon_o and_o have_v seldom_o be_v know_v to_o fail_v those_o who_o have_v constant_o stick_v to_o he_o a_o notable_a example_n of_o which_o we_o have_v in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o present_a psalm_n and_o which_o the_o ancient_n tell_v we_o be_v this_o when_o cyrus_n have_v give_v leave_n to_o the_o jew_n to_o return_v to_o jerusalem_n and_o to_o rebuild_v their_o temple_n and_o restore_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o it_o the_o samaritan_n a_o sort_n of_o mix_v people_n 41._o half_a jew_n and_o half_a idolater_n so_o wrought_v with_o their_o adversary_n that_o little_o be_v do_v in_o it_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o favour_n that_o be_v show_v they_o by_o that_o great_a monarch_n no_o soon_o be_v cyrus_n go_v and_o cambyses_n place_v upon_o his_o throne_n but_o all_o hope_n seem_v utter_o lose_v to_o they_o of_o either_o restore_a their_o temple_n or_o regain_n any_o part_n of_o that_o liberty_n they_o have_v before_o be_v encourage_v to_o expect_v but_o what_o then_o be_v their_o behaviour_n on_o this_o occasion_n do_v they_o distrust_v god_n and_o give_v way_n to_o such_o fear_n as_o the_o insolence_n of_o their_o enemy_n and_o their_o own_o circumstance_n do_v indeed_o but_o too_o much_o expose_v they_o to_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v at_o this_o very_a juncture_n of_o time_n psalm_n that_o those_o two_o great_a prophet_n haggai_n and_o zechariah_n compose_v the_o psalm_n we_o have_v now_o before_o we_o and_o exhort_v the_o people_n not_o to_o consider_v the_o ill-prospect_n which_o according_a to_o humane_a appearance_n their_o affair_n be_v in_o but_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n who_o whenever_o he_o please_v can_v turn_v all_o thing_n to_o their_o advantage_n and_o no_o doubt_n in_o his_o due_a time_n will_v do_v so_o and_o what_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o this_o excellent_a advice_n why_o in_o a_o very_a few_o year_n cambyses_n die_v and_o darius_n come_v into_o the_o throne_n and_o in_o despite_n of_o all_o that_o either_o their_o half_a brethren_n or_o their_o open_a enemy_n can_v do_v to_o hinder_v it_o so_o encourage_v the_o work_n that_o both_o their_o temple_n and_o their_o city_n be_v rebuilt_a and_o themselves_o restore_v both_o to_o their_o liberty_n and_o to_o their_o religion_n and_o if_o to_o trust_n in_o god_n be_v able_a to_o work_v such_o wonderful_a effect_n as_o these_o how_o much_o more_o may_v we_o promise_v ourselves_o from_o it_o who_o have_v so_o fair_a a_o prospect_n before_o our_o eye_n if_o we_o do_v but_o firm_o rely_v upon_o he_o and_o not_o suffer_v any_o thing_n to_o shake_v our_o confidence_n of_o his_o mercy_n but_o then_o sixthly_a and_o to_o close_a all_o that_o our_o hope_n may_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v its_o due_a effect_n let_v i_o add_v final_o that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o bare_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n but_o must_v take_v care_n withal_o to_o live_v so_o that_o we_o may_v be_v in_o some_o measure_n worthy_a of_o his_o protection_n we_o must_v to_o the_o purity_n of_o our_o religion_n add_v the_o reformation_n of_o our_o manner_n and_o then_o we_o may_v secure_o defy_v our_o great_a enemy_n to_o do_v we_o any_o mischief_n and_o because_o example_n in_o these_o case_n be_v not_o only_o more_o instructive_a than_o precept_n but_o more_o apt_a to_o persuade_v too_o and_o that_o this_o be_v all_o that_o now_o remain_v to_o we_o of_o that_o noble_a pattern_n which_o be_v wont_a to_o shine_v so_o bright_o in_o all_o our_o eye_n to_o reflect_v upon_o her_o piety_n and_o by_o that_o to_o learn_v how_o to_o improve_v our_o own_o i_o will_v conclude_v all_o with_o a_o few_o remembrance_n of_o what_o our_o late_a bless_a sovereign_n do_v to_o show_v you_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o do._n and_o first_o since_o good-nature_n be_v i_o think_v by_o all_o allow_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o best_a preparation_n to_o the_o divine_a grace_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o first_o observe_v it_o as_o a_o singular_a part_n of_o the_o felicity_n of_o her_o sacred_a majesty_n that_o she_o enjoy_v all_o that_o be_v proper_o understand_v by_o that_o phrase_n in_o as_o high_a a_o perfection_n as_o it_o may_v be_v any_o person_n in_o the_o world_n ever_o did._n her_o temper_n be_v natural_o sweet_a and_o cheerful_a easie_n to_o herself_o and_o acceptable_a to_o all_o other_o and_o if_o that_o old_a rule_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v true_a 15._o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n love_v to_o dwell_v in_o a_o quiet_a and_o comfortable_a breast_n i_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o her_o soul_n be_v always_o in_o a_o disposition_n for_o that_o bless_a spirit_n to_o descend_v upon_o it_o and_o to_o abide_v in_o it_o to_o improve_v this_o excellent_a temper_n she_o have_v a_o greatness_n and_o generosity_n of_o mind_n equal_a to_o her_o rank_n and_o quality_n free_v from_o jealousy_n and_o suspicion_n as_o she_o be_v from_o fear_n of_o any_o in_o a_o word_n clear_a of_o all_o those_o passion_n which_o agitate_v lesser_a soul_n and_o keep_v they_o in_o a_o continual_a hurry_n and_o distraction_n thus_o be_v she_o prepare_v by_o nature_n for_o that_o extraordinary_a progress_n which_o she_o afterward_o make_v in_o christian_a piety_n and_o virtue_n and_o as_o st._n luke_n tell_v we_o to_o those_o to_o who_o st._n paul_n preach_v the_o gospel_n heretofore_o 48._o that_o as_o many_o as_o be_v ordain_v to_o eternal_a life_n believe_v that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v in_o their_o temper_n and_o disposition_n fit_v and_o qualify_v for_o the_o reception_n of_o what_o he_o deliver_v to_o they_o so_o may_v it_o no_o less_o true_o be_v say_v of_o her_o sacred_a majesty_n that_o she_o be_v in_o like_a manner_n ordain_v to_o eternal_a life_n and_o therefore_o make_v such_o vast_a attainment_n in_o all_o those_o grace_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o bring_v she_o to_o it_o but_o second_o to_o this_o first_o advantage_n it_o please_v god_n to_o add_v as_o great_a a_o eminence_n of_o what_o we_o usual_o call_v good_a part_n as_o i_o believe_v have_v ever_o be_v know_v in_o any_o of_o her_o sex_n her_o apprehension_n be_v quick_a and_o pierce_v her_o judgement_n deep_a and_o correct_a nor_o can_v any_o thing_n almost_o be_v propose_v to_o she_o but_o she_o be_v present_o ready_a with_o all_o clearness_n to_o receive_v it_o and_o with_o no_o less_o accuracy_n to_o pronounce_v and_o determine_v concern_v it_o and_o when_o such_o be_v her_o capacity_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v if_o she_o soon_o come_v to_o a_o right_a apprehension_n of_o the_o design_n and_o end_v of_o christianity_n and_o be_v thorough_o convince_v of_o the_o mighty_a concern_v which_o there_o lie_v upon_o she_o to_o live_v in_o a_o exact_a obedience_n to_o its_o command_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o the_o advantage_n she_o have_v in_o this_o respect_n for_o though_o her_o part_n be_v such_o as_o will_v with_o a_o very_a moderate_a exercise_n have_v carry_v she_o into_o a_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o her_o religion_n yet_o she_o do_v not_o rely_v upon_o they_o but_o to_o her_o natural_a ability_n add_v such_o a_o care_n and_o diligence_n to_o improve_v her_o understanding_n and_o to_o inflame_v her_o affection_n in_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o seem_v any_o way_n to_o refer_v to_o it_o as_o few_o in_o a_o lesser_a station_n have_v ever_o do_v to_o pass_v by_o her_o constant_a attendance_n upon_o the_o public_a service_n of_o god_n and_o those_o opportunity_n of_o instruction_n which_o she_o provide_v for_o on_o all_o the_o more_o solemn_a return_v of_o it_o to_o say_v nothing_o of_o her_o frequent_a and_o useful_a conversation_n with_o those_o who_o minister_v unto_o she_o in_o holy_a office_n what_o a_o large_a proportion_n of_o her_o time_n
