conversation_n david_n psal_n 147.10_o 11._o give_v a_o clear_a proof_n of_o it_o both_o in_o the_o negative_a and_o in_o the_o affirmative_a the_o lord_n delight_v not_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o a_o horse_n he_o take_v not_o pleasure_n in_o the_o leg_n of_o a_o man_n the_o lord_n delight_n be_v neither_o in_o horse_n nor_o in_o man_n neither_o in_o their_o strength_n nor_o in_o their_o beauty_n wherein_o be_v the_o lord_n pleasure_n then_o the_o next_o word_n show_v we_o where_o he_o take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o hope_n in_o his_o mercy_n this_o scripture_n seem_v to_o speak_v direct_o contrary_a to_o eliphaz_n in_o job_n he_o say_v be_v it_o any_o pleasure_n to_o the_o almighty_a that_o thou_o be_v righteous_a but_o david_n say_v the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n in_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o understand_v eliphaz_n in_o this_o sense_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v no_o delight_n or_o contentment_n at_o all_o in_o the_o holiness_n of_o his_o people_n as_o if_o it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o he_o whether_o they_o be_v holy_a or_o unholy_a there_o be_v a_o generation_n who_o say_v that_o all_o action_n be_v alike_o and_o that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o before_o god_n whether_o man_n be_v righteous_a or_o unrighteous_a whether_o they_o do_v good_a or_o evil_n woe_n to_o they_o that_o understand_v this_o scripture_n in_o such_o a_o corrupt_a sense_n for_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o only_o hate_v iniquity_n but_o he_o be_v of_o pure_a eye_n then_o to_o behold_v any_o iniquity_n he_o have_v no_o pleasure_n either_o in_o unrighteousness_n or_o in_o the_o unrighteous_a but_o both_o righteousness_n and_o the_o righteous_a be_v his_o pleasure_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o i_o shall_v touch_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o it_o first_o the_o lord_n can_v but_o take_v pleasure_n in_o his_o own_o image_n now_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v implant_v in_o we_o and_o put_v forth_o by_o we_o the_o righteousness_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o of_o our_o action_n as_o we_o be_v regenerate_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o image_n of_o god_n renew_v upon_o we_o see_v then_o god_n can_v but_o take_v pleasure_n in_o his_o own_o image_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o wickedness_n to_o think_v that_o god_n take_v no_o pleasure_n in_o a_o righteous_a man_n or_o in_o his_o righteousness_n second_o as_o this_o righteousness_n be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o we_o so_o it_o be_v the_o very_a workmanship_n of_o god_n upon_o we_o ephes_n 2.10_o for_o we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n we_o be_v so_o not_o only_a first_o in_o our_o natural_a capacity_n as_o we_o be_v man_n and_o second_o in_o our_o civil_a capacity_n as_o such_o or_o such_o man_n high_a or_o low_o rich_a or_o poor_a but_o also_o which_o be_v the_o thing_n intend_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o our_o spiritual_a capacity_n as_o saint_n thus_o we_o be_v the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n unto_o good_a work_n which_o god_n have_v before_o ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v again_o he_o that_o have_v wrought_v we_o for_o this_o self_n same_o thing_n be_v god_n 2_o cor._n 5.5_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o god_n shall_v have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o his_o own_o work_n we_o read_v in_o the_o first_o of_o genesis_n that_o when_o he_o have_v make_v the_o world_n the_o lord_n see_v all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o behold_v it_o be_v very_o good_a god_n have_v a_o all-seeing_a eye_n he_o always_o behold_v all_o thing_n but_o when_o it_o be_v say_v he_o see_v all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v this_o import_v a_o special_a act_n of_o god_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n who_o strict_o view_v and_o behold_v what_o they_o have_v do_v delight_v in_o it_o thus_o the_o lord_n see_v all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v he_o as_o it_o be_v come_v to_o view_v his_o own_o work_n he_o see_v and_o behold_v it_o be_v very_o good_a he_o take_v pleasure_n in_o it_o now_o if_o god_n take_v pleasure_n in_o that_o structure_n and_o fabric_n of_o the_o world_n the_o first_o creation_n how_o much_o more_o do_v he_o take_v pleasure_n in_o that_o holiness_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n which_o be_v a_o second_o creation_n and_o that_o be_v a_o more_o curious_a and_o noble_a structure_n than_o this_o visible_a world_n be_v the_o new_a creation_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o the_o old_a therefore_o the_o lord_n can_v but_o delight_v in_o a_o righteous_a person_n for_o he_o be_v his_o workmanship_n what_o job_n ch._n 14.15_o assure_v himself_o of_o be_v most_o true_a in_o this_o respect_n thou_o will_v have_v a_o desire_n to_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n job_n speak_v there_o of_o his_o outward_a man_n my_o body_n he_o mean_v be_v make_v by_o thou_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n and_o thou_o will_v fetch_v it_o back_o again_o thou_o will_v redeem_v it_o from_o the_o dust_n whatsoever_o have_v the_o workmanship_n of_o god_n upon_o it_o he_o have_v pleasure_n in_o it_o as_o it_o be_v his_o work_n and_o a_o special_a pleasure_n in_o that_o which_o as_o any_o work_n of_o grace_n be_v be_v his_o special_a work_n three_o this_o consideration_n show_v that_o the_o lord_n must_v take_v pleasure_n in_o a_o righteous_a person_n because_o he_o bear_v the_o form_n of_o his_o will_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n holiness_n be_v our_o conformity_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n now_o the_o lord_n can_v but_o take_v pleasure_n in_o those_o who_o conform_v to_o his_o will_n samuel_n tell_v saul_n 1_o sam._n 15.22_o and_o there_o he_o use_v this_o word_n in_o the_o text_n have_v the_o lord_n as_o great_a delight_n in_o burnt-offring_n and_o sacrifice_n as_o in_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n give_v thou_o a_o word_n a_o command_n to_o which_o he_o expect_v thy_o conformity_n but_o thou_o have_v think_v to_o please_v the_o lord_n with_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o command_v thou_o not_o this_o be_v thy_o mistake_n and_o thy_o folly_n we_o honour_v god_n when_o we_o do_v his_o will_n sure_o than_o he_o must_v needs_o take_v pleasure_n in_o those_o that_o do_v it_o man_n
