to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o psalm_n after_o all_o this_o sad_a lamentation_n there_o be_v a_o comfortable_a prophetical_a story_n of_o all_o the_o good_a that_o god_n do_v mean_a to_o do_v fot_o this_o afflict_a church_n which_o now_o lie_v in_o the_o dust_n and_o rubble_n wherein_o there_o be_v three_o remarkable_a thing_n the_o first_o be_v a_o strong_a confident_a prophetical_a

condition_n second_o you_o have_v the_o argument_n which_o satisfy_v this_o afflict_a desolate_a soul_n that_o the_o time_n of_o zion_n deliverance_n be_v at_o hand_n because_o all_o god_n servant_n take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o dust_n of_o it_o and_o pity_v the_o very_a stone_n and_o the_o rubbish_n of_o it_o their_o heart_n be_v deep_o humble_v for_o zion_n misery_n they_o have_v set_v themselves_o earnest_o to_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o give_v he_o no_o rest_n night_n nor_o day_n till_o he_o have_v set_v it_o up_o and_o this_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n pour_v out_o upon_o the_o church_n be_v to_o she_o as_o sure_o a_o token_n of_o approach_a deliverance_n as_o the_o day_n star_n be_v a_o token_n of_o a_o approach_a morning_n that_o be_v the_o second_o the_o three_o part_n of_o this_o prophecy_n be_v the_o use_n or_o fruit_n which_o he_o do_v foretell_v shall_v be_v make_v of_o this_o great_a work_n of_o god_n raise_v and_o build_v up_o of_o zion_n which_o be_v very_o excellent_a partly_o the_o use_n that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v make_v of_o it_o all_o the_o heathen_a shall_v stand_v and_o wonder_v at_o it_o and_o praise_v god_n

a_o great_a work_n as_o the_o raise_v zion_n out_o of_o the_o dust_n and_o then_o for_o the_o church_n the_o people_n that_o be_v create_v on_o purpose_n to_o be_v for_o god_n glory_n it_o shall_v

to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o indeed_o he_o be_v than_o do_v the_o man_n appear_v in_o his_o glory_n so_o that_o to_o appear_v in_o glory_n be_v nothing_o but_o to_o appear_v to_o be_v as_o
