deliverance_n from_o oppression_n be_v freedom_n great_a deliverance_n have_v christ_n obtain_v for_o we_o deliverance_n from_o sin_n and_o deliverance_n from_o hell_n and_o this_o go_v under_o the_o

any_o wrong_n do_v to_o man_n by_o man_n but_o more_o distinct_a oppression_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o manner_n or_o the_o matter_n of_o oppress_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o manner_n when_o it_o be_v violent_o and_o open_o do_v when_o man_n come_v bold_o and_o oppress_v we_o it_o be_v say_v of_o nymrod_n that_o he_o be_v a_o mighty_a hunter_n before_o the_o lord_n he_o be_v a_o hunter_n of_o beast_n but_o more_o especial_o a_o hunter_n of_o man_n oppression_n in_o scripture_n be_v often_o compare_v to_o hunt_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o fierceness_n of_o it_o second_o there_o be_v secret_a and_o cunning_a oppression_n which_o the_o prophet_n hosen_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o 12_o of_o that_o prophecy_n 7._o verse_n say_v he_o he_o be_v a_o merchant_n the_o balance_n of_o deceit_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n he_o love_v to_o oppress_v who_o be_v this_o say_v he_o he_o be_v a_o merchant_n as_o some_o oppress_v with_o a_o sword_n in_o their_o hand_n that_o be_v violent_o and_o open_o come_v deliver_v up_o your_o estate_n or_o liberty_n or_o deliver_v up_o your_o life_n so_o be_v it_o with_o a_o pair_n of_o balance_n in_o the_o hand_n balance_n be_v put_v in_o a_o synecdoche_n for_o all_o the_o commerce_n betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n now_o say_v he_o here_o be_v one_o that_o oppress_v with_o balance_n in_o his_o hand_n he_o tell_v you_o you_o shall_v have_v penny_n for_o penny_n bargain_n for_o bargain_n yet_o say_v he_o he_o be_v a_o oppressor_n he_o love_v to_o oppress_v three_o you_o may_v distinguish_v of_o oppression_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o thus_o in_o the_o first_o place_n positive_a oppression_n as_o in_o take_v away_o from_o a_o man_n that_o which_o be_v his_o second_o negative_a oppression_n in_o withhold_a that_o from_o a_o man_n which_o of_o right_n belong_v unto_o he_o thou_o shall_v not_o oppress_v the_o hire_a servant_n thou_o shall_v pay_v he_o his_o wage_n at_o the_o day_n etc._n etc._n deut._n 24._o 14._o again_o you_o may_v consider_v oppression_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v twofold_a first_o there_o be_v civil_a oppression_n second_o there_o be_v spiritual_a oppression_n first_o civil_a oppression_n be_v when_o the_o matter_n be_v in_o civil_a thing_n and_o you_o may_v divide_v it_o either_o to_o oppression_n of_o our_o estate_n or_o oppression_n of_o our_o person_n nehemiah_n 9_o 37._o the_o king_n that_o thou_o have_v set_v over_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n have_v dominion_n over_o we_o what_o dominion_n be_v this_o it_o be_v a_o dominion_n over_o their_o person_n and_o over_o their_o estate_n at_o their_o will_n second_o there_o be_v spiritual_a oppression_n and_o that_o be_v of_o the_o conscience_n when_o there_o be_v thing_n impose_v upon_o the_o conscience_n which_o god_n have_v not_o make_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o man_n make_v to_o impose_v upon_o conscience_n thus_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharise_n be_v great_a oppressor_n they_o oppress_v man_n spirit_n they_o do_v bind_v heavy_a burden_n and_o lay_v they_o upon_o man_n shoulder_n but_o they_o themselves_o will_v not_o touch_v they_o with_o their_o little_a finger_n thus_o antichrist_n be_v the_o great_a oppressor_n and_o hence_o the_o seat_n of_o antichrist_n have_v three_o name_n give_v it_o in_o scripture_n sodom_n egypt_n and_o babylon_n and_o here_o david_n pray_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o oppression_n of_o man_n so_o will_v i_o keep_v thy_o precept_n i_o will_v do_v it_o he_o speak_v resolute_o and_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o depend_v upon_o his_o own_o strength_n what_o be_v our_o strength_n and_o our_o will_n alas_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o we_o may_v say_v so_o as_o we_o be_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o assistance_n from_o god_n so_o will_v i_o keep_v the_o word_n which_o we_o render_v here_o to_o keep_v it_o signify_v to_o keep_v a_o thing_n so_o as_o to_o yield_v to_o it_o obey_v it_o and_o submit_v to_o it_o second_o it_o signify_v to_o keep_v a_o thing_n so_o as_o to_o maintain_v it_o or_o protect_v it_o i_o will_v keep_v thy_o precept_n say_v david_n that_o be_v i_o will_v submit_v to_o they_o and_o obey_v they_o or_o thus_o i_o will_v keep_v they_o i_o will_v maintain_v they_o i_o will_v preserve_v they_o so_o it_o be_v use_v psal_n 116._o 2._o the_o lord_n preserve_v the_o simple_a or_o he_o keep_v the_o simple_a he_o do_v not_o mean_a by_o the_o simple_a the_o man_n that_o be_v a_o fool_n that_o have_v no_o wisdom_n or_o understanding_n but_o the_o simple_a man_n be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o simple_a heart_n that_o have_v no_o wind_a or_o doubling_n in_o his_o spirit_n this_o be_v the_o man_n that_o be_v under_o the_o protection_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o it_o may_v be_v take_v both_o way_n by_o precept_n we_o must_v understand_v the_o whole_a reveal_v will_n of_o god_n not_o only_o precept_n of_o work_v but_o precept_n of_o believe_a it_o comprehend_v all_o there_o be_v precept_n concern_v thing_n to_o be_v do_v and_o precept_n

concern_v thing_n to_o be_v believe_v those_o precept_n which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v be_v such_o as_o we_o must_v use_v in_o our_o ordinary_a conversation_n these_o be_v precept_n of_o holiness_n and_o then_o there_o be_v precept_n of_o truth_n in_o reference_n to_o doctrine_n what_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v object_n but_o may_v some_o say_v do_v not_o david_n keep_v the_o precept_n of_o god_n before_o i_o answer_v yes_o david_n have_v keep_v the_o precept_n of_o god_n before_o for_o the_o lord_n speak_v of_o he_o as_o a_o man_n after_o his_o own_o heart_n who_o will_v fulfil_v all_o his_o will_n what_o then_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o expression_n deliver_v i_o from_o the_o oppression_n of_o man_n the_o meaning_n be_v this_o deliver_v i_o from_o the_o oppression_n of_o man_n so_o shall_v i_o have_v a_o better_a opportunity_n to_o keep_v thy_o precept_n there_o be_v two_o great_a hindrance_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v before_o sin_n within_o and_o oppression_n of_o man_n without_o again_o he_o mean_v i_o will_v keep_v they_o more_o than_o i_o have_v do_v before_o i_o will_v not_o live_v as_o former_o i_o have_v do_v i_o have_v walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o commandment_n before_o but_o now_o i_o will_v run_v this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o expression_n deliver_v i_o from_o the_o oppression_n of_o man_n so_o will_v i_o keep_v thy_o precept_n object_n 2._o but_o may_v some_o say_v if_o god_n will_v not_o deliver_v david_n will_v not_o he_o keep_v his_o precept_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o david_n do_v not_o indent_v with_o god_n and_o say_v if_o god_n will_v not_o deliver_v he_o than_o he_o will_v not_o keep_v his_o precept_n this_o be_v far_o from_o david_n thought_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o text_n deliver_v i_o from_o the_o oppression_n of_o man_n so_o will_v i_o keep_v thy_o precept_n there_o be_v several_a observation_n that_o arise_v from_o the_o word_n doct._n 1._o observe_v that_o in_o all_o age_n there_o have_v be_v among_o man_n oppressor_n of_o man_n david_n find_v oppression_n in_o his_o time_n yea_o oppression_n be_v much_o elder_a than_o david_n it_o be_v as_o
