of_o other_o which_o before_o do_v but_o burn_v within_o they_o to_o their_o own_o comfort_n now_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o psalm_n in_o general_n he_o show_v 1._o how_o great_a his_o

verse_n 1.2.3_o 2._o he_o show_v y_z e_z cause_n of_o his_o affliction_n to_o be_v his_o sin_n ver_fw-la 4.3_o he_o set_v down_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o affliction_n and_o the_o danger_n that_o

of_o who_o he_o complain_v in_o the_o 7._o &_o 8._o verse_n thus_o all_o that_o hate_v i_o whisper_v together_o against_o i_o even_o against_o i_o do_v they_o imagine_v my_o hurt_n a_o mischief_n be_v light_a upon_o he_o and_o he_o that_o be_v down_o shall_v no_o more_o arise_v the_o 3._o sort_n be_v a_o more_o treacherous_a brood_n who_o while_o they_o pretend_v kindness_n intend_v his_o subversion_n like_o judas_n who_o cover_v his_o treason_n with_o a_o kiss_n of_o these_o traitorous_a companion_n he_o complain_v in_o the_o 9_o verse_n after_o this_o manner_n yea_o my_o familiar_a friend_n who_o i_o trust_v which_o do_v eat_v of_o my_o bread_n have_v lift_v up_o the_o heel_n against_o i_o and_o therefore_o be_v thus_o beset_v with_o open_a enemy_n on_o one_o side_n with_o flatter_a clawback_n on_o the_o other_o side_n with_o whisperer_n behind_o &_o traitor_n before_o his_o danger_n must_v needs_o be_v great_a and_o his_o case_n in_o man_n sight_n very_o desperate_a 4._o 4._o he_o show_v what_o mean_v he_o use_v to_o prevent_v they_o all_o and_o that_o be_v prayer_n to_o god_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o 10._o verse_n therefore_o o_o lord_n raise_v i_o up_o so_o shall_v i_o reward_v they_o but_o lest_o satan_n may_v persuade_v he_o to_o doubt_v of_o god_n favour_n towards_o he_o in_o his_o affliction_n as_o he_o will_v have_v do_v with_o job_n in_o his_o temptation_n and_o so_o make_v he_o either_o cold_a in_o prayer_n or_o distrufull_a in_o prayer_n that_o so_o he_o may_v also_o have_v lose_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o prayer_n therefore_o in_o the_o 5._o place_n 5._o he_o prove_v by_o two_o argument_n y_o it_o all_o this_o notwithstanding_o god_n do_v still_o favour_v he_o the_o 1._o be_v draw_v from_o his_o enemy_n person_n in_o the_o 11._o verse_n the_o 2._o be_v take_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o own_o person_n in_o the_o 12._o verse_n 6._o last_o of_o all_o because_o god_n have_v give_v he_o such_o token_n of_o his_o love_n therefore_o he_o conclude_v his_o psalm_n with_o thankesgeve_a unto_o god_n in_o this_o sort_n bless_a be_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n world_n without_o end_n etc._n etc._n this_o psalm_n be_v leave_v unto_o the_o church_n of_o god_n &_o do_v teach_v us._n 1._o to_o take_v heed_n how_o we_o do_v rash_o condemn_v those_o that_o be_v in_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n and_o be_v beset_v with_o diverse_a sort_n of_o enemy_n but_o wise_o to_o consider_v and_o charitable_o to_o judge_v of_o their_o cause_n if_o we_o look_v for_o the_o lord_n help_v when_o we_o be_v in_o trouble_n ourselves_o and_o not_o to_o measure_v god_n favour_n by_o outward_a prosperity_n nor_o his_o anger_n by_o outward_a adversity_n as_o blind_a worldling_n common_o use_v to_o do_v 2._o that_o the_o use_n of_o affliction_n be_v to_o work_v in_o we_o repentance_n for_o our_o sin_n &_o to_o make_v we_o fly_v to_o god_n mercy_n for_o succour_n as_o david_n do_v 3._o that_o god_n child_n while_o they_o live_v shall_v live_v in_o danger_n of_o open_a enemy_n of_o malicious_a whisperer_n and_o false_a brethren_n though_o they_o be_v as_o godly_a as_o david_n be_v 4._o that_o if_o we_o they_o go_v to_o god_n by_o prayer_n we_o shall_v prevent_v all_o our_o enemy_n if_o they_o be_v as_o many_o as_o david_n be_v 5._o that_o in_o our_o prayer_n we_o must_v be_v assure_v of_o god_n love_n in_o christ_n to_o we_o ward_n lest_o otherwise_o we_o lose_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o prayer_n 6._o that_o when_o god_n have_v hear_v we_o we_o must_v with_o hearty_a consent_n praise_n unto_o he_o for_o it_o as_o david_n do_v so_o much_o of_o y_fw-fr e_o psal._n in_o general_a now_o to_o the_o text_n by_o this_o i_o know_v etc._n etc._n in_o this_o text_n we_o see_v two_o thing_n 1._o how_o david_n assure_v himself_o of_o god_n love_n towards_o he_o 2._o how_o thankful_a he_o be_v to_o god_n for_o assure_v he_o of_o his_o love_n the_o .1_o he_o do_v by_o two_o argument_n one_o take_v from_o his_o enemy_n they_o be_v prevent_v of_o their_o expectation_n therefore_o thou_o love_v i_o the_o other_o be_v take_v from_o his_o own_o estate_n which_o be_v no_o whit_n hurt_v or_o impair_v but_o better_v by_o they_o in_o his_o thanksgiving_n we_o may_v note_v two_o thing_n 1._o to_o who_o he_o give_v thanks_n namely_o to_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n 2._o in_o what_o manner_n he_o geve_v thanks_n with_o double_v of_o his_o speech_n in_o token_n of_o his_o hearty_a &_o unfeigned_a consent_n to_o that_o which_o he_o speak_v &_o as_o one_o afraid_a that_o it_o be_v not_o well_o enough_o when_o it_o be_v at_o the_o best_a he_o say_v so_o be_v it_o even_o so_o be_v it_o so_o much_o for_o y_z e_z method_n now_o to_o the_o matter_n by_o this_o i_o know_v that_o thou_o favore_a i_o etc._n etc._n first_o here_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o his_o knowledge_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o though_o he_o know_v
