god_n but_o praise_v their_o own_o wit_n do_v sacrifice_n to_o the_o work_n of_o their_o own_o finger_n after_o david_n have_v complain_v to_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o pride_n and_o cruelty_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o very_o substantial_o prove_v those_o article_n which_o he_o exhibit_v against_o they_o in_o the_o 12._o verse_n he_o do_v humble_o sue_v unto_o the_o lord_n by_o prayer_n that_o

with_o a_o holy_a gratulation_n or_o thanksgiving_n unto_o the_o lord_n for_o that_o by_o his_o spirit_n he_o do_v assure_v he_o of_o some_o remedy_n by_o take_v a_o judicial_a hear_n of_o the_o

here_o david_n acknowledge_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o poor_a helpless_a servant_n two_o way_n first_o general_o in_o the_o 17_o verse_n say_v lord_n thou_o have_v hear_v the_o

of_o terror_n to_o the_o godly_a the_o first_o thing_n here_o to_o be_v note_v be_v how_o david_n change_v his_o note_n for_o before_o he_o say_v lord_n thou_o have_v hide_v thyself_o but_o now_o he_o

during_o the_o battle_n can_v not_o tell_v what_o to_o make_v of_o the_o matter_n but_o after_o the_o encounter_n be_v past_a like_o a_o valiant_a conqueror_n he_o strike_v up_o and_o make_v forward_o in_o triumph_n say_v the_o lord_n be_v king_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o the_o heathen_a be_v destroy_v out_o of_o thy_o sight_n lord_n thou_o have_v hear_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o poor_a thou_o prepare_v their_o heart_n thou_o bende_v thy_o ear_n to_o judge_v the_o fatherless_a and_o the_o poor_a that_o the_o man_n of_o earth_n cause_n to_o fear_v no_o more_o and_o here_o we_o see_v that_o verify_v which_o be_v in_o psal._n 126._o 5._o 6._o they_o that_o sow_n in_o tear_n shall_v reap_v in_o joy_n and_o that_o which_o be_v in_o our_o proverb_n a_o hard_a beginning_n make_v a_o good_a end_n for_o one_o will_v have_v think_v by_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o psalm_n that_o he_o shall_v never_o have_v obtain_v so_o happy_a a_o end_n for_o thus_o he_o be_v begin_v why_o do_v thou_o stand_v far_o off_o o_o lord_n and_o hide_v thyself_o in_o time_n of_o affliction_n that_o be_v why_o have_v we_o not_o justice_n execute_v but_o he_o end_v as_o you_o hear_v lord_n thou_o have_v hear_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o poor_a etc._n etc._n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v desire_v such_o a_o bless_a and_o joyful_a end_n will_v god_n send_v unto_o all_o his_o poor_a afflict_a servant_n when_o he_o have_v well_o humble_v they_o and_o thorough_o exercise_v they_o with_o the_o buffet_n of_o satan_n and_o sting_v they_o to_o the_o very_a heart_n with_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o affright_v they_o with_o a_o terrible_a show_n of_o a_o angry_a &_o wrathful_a countenance_n all_o which_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v against_o his_o dear_a child_n first_o to_o let_v they_o feel_v &_o know_v what_o they_o have_v &_o be_v of_o themselves_o secondlie_o to_o make_v they_o acquaint_v with_o satan_n malice_n that_o they_o take_v heed_n how_o they_o either_o obey_v he_o or_o believe_v he_o again_o three_o to_o make_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o love_n and_o gracious_a mercy_n more_o know_v in_o deliver_v they_o at_o the_o last_o for_o by_o the_o want_n of_o a_o benefit_n we_o know_v what_o a_o benefit_n be_v worth_a and_o therefore_o joy_v restore_v be_v more_o acceptable_a than_o joy_n continue_v psal._n 51._o 12._o and_o last_o to_o make_v they_o fit_a instrument_n for_o the_o conversion_n and_o strengthen_n of_o those_o that_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o like_a case_n as_o christ_n say_v to_o peter_n satan_n have_v desire_v to_o sift_v you_o 32._o as_o wheat_n be_v sift_v but_o i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o that_o thy_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v therefore_o when_o thou_o be_v convert_v strengthen_v thy_o brethren_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o go_v hard_o for_o any_o feeling_n that_o the_o afflict_a soul_n have_v of_o any_o comfort_n in_o himself_o oh_o i_o can_v feel_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o my_o heart_n i_o can_v find_v god_n spirit_n in_o my_o hart_n my_o heart_n be_v not_o grieve_v for_o my_o sin_n i_o can_v pray_v i_o take_v no_o delight_n in_o the_o word_n etc._n etc._n oh_o that_o i_o can_v

to_o practice_v they_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o still_o hope_n and_o wait_v on_o god_n for_o though_o god_n seem_v now_o to_o thy_o soul_n as_o if_o he_o have_v no_o care_n of_o thou_o yet_o he_o do_v care_n for_o thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v one_o day_n joyful_o sing_v as_o david_n do_v here_o lord_n thou_o have_v hear_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o poor_a etc._n etc._n lord_n thou_o have_v hear_v etc._n etc._n the_o lord_n do_v hear_v all_o man_n desire_n and_o know_v all_o their_o thought_n long_o before_o but_o he_o be_v say_v to_o hear_v the_o desire_n of_o his_o

to_o be_v understand_v sometime_o in_o the_o scripture_n as_o where_o david_n say_v if_o i_o regard_v wickedness_n in_o my_o heart_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o hear_v i_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n will_v not_o grant_v i_o my_o desire_n and_o so_o be_v it_o take_v also_o sometime_o amongst_o we_o in_o our_o common_a manner_n of_o speak_v as_o when_o we_o do_v not_o favour_v a_o man_n suit_n we_o use_v to_o say_v i_o hear_v you_o not_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o child_n of_o god_n do_v most_o groan_n and_o long_o for_o in_o prayer_n namely_o to_o pray_v so_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v hear_v they_o that_o be_v may_v afford_v they_o a_o gration_n hear_v which_o if_o they_o may_v be_v assure_v of_o then_o be_v their_o heart_n fill_v with_o joy_n whatsoever_o happen_v to_o they_o in_o the_o world_n and_o all_o their_o fear_n be_v lest_o their_o sin_n and_o sinful_a prayer_n shall_v stop_v the_o ear_n not_o of_o the_o lord_n simple_o but_o of_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n against_o they_o to_o that_o end_n do_v they_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n in_o all_o humility_n fear_n and_o reverence_n strive_v sigh_a and_o groan_v and_o trouble_v in_o spirit_n and_o to_o this_o end_n the_o lord_n oftentimes_o seem_v unto_o his_o child_n as_o one_o that_o be_v deaf_a he_o make_v they_o no_o answer_n but_o take_v away_o from_o they_o for_o the_o time_n all_o feel_n of_o comfort_n in_o prayer_n to_o that_o end_n that_o when_o he_o do_v speak_v peace_n unto_o their_o heart_n they_o may_v know_v what_o a_o mercy_n they_o have_v receive_v from_o his_o majesty_n but_o wicked_a

it_o to_o please_v themselves_o and_o other_o but_o whether_o all_o that_o pain_n of_o they_o be_v accept_v with_o god_n they_o never_o so_o much_o as_o once_o think_v so_o that_o when_o they_o have_v do_v their_o stint_n and_o task_n they_o may_v say_v as_o the_o harlot_n say_v of_o who_o solomon_n speak_v 14._o to_o day_n i_o have_v peace-offering_n i_o have_v pay_v my_o vow_n and_o so_o leave_v
