faith_n hope_n and_o charity_n as_o they_o be_v quality_n in_o we_o we_o shall_v sure_o perish_v therefore_o this_o place_n of_o the_o prophet_n asaph_n where_o he_o demand_v this_o question_n whether_o god_n mercy_n be_v go_v for_o ever_o do_v teach_v we_o that_o of_o all_o thing_n we_o shall_v be_v most_o assure_v of_o this_o that_o only_a mercy_n be_v the_o help_n of_o man_n trouble_n and_o damnation_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o clarity_n and_o brightness_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o now_o i_o say_v scripture_n there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o mercy_n of_o god_n mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n the_o outward_a mercy_n be_v in_o the_o letter_n which_o man_n read_v and_o sing_v every_o day_n and_o speak_v and_o talk_v of_o but_o the_o other_o be_v inward_a when_o that_o man_n can_v not_o feel_v god_n mercy_n in_o their_o conscience_n as_o they_o hear_v it_o speak_v of_o and_o as_o they_o read_v it_o in_o the_o book_n they_o be_v trouble_v and_o full_a of_o anguish_n and_o pain_n and_o as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o this_o case_n without_o god_n mercy_n they_o can_v do_v nothing_o that_o plese_v god_n or_o content_v themselves_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o spirit_n be_v assure_v and_o feel_v that_o god_n for_o his_o mercy_n do_v forgive_v and_o forget_v the_o iniquity_n that_o the_o spirit_n and_o body_n have_v commit_v and_o do_v against_o god_n it_o rejoice_v and_o be_v so_o glad_a that_o it_o will_v do_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o plese_v and_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n and_o in_o christ_n shall_v content_v and_o quiet_a his_o own_o conscience_n as_o for_o example_n adam_n before_o he_o inward_o feel_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n promise_v in_o christ_n 3._o to_o forgive_v and_o remit_v his_o sin_n and_o offence_n in_o what_o heaviness_n be_v the_o poor_a man_n he_o hide_v himself_o and_o can_v not_o abide_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o live_a god_n for_o he_o feel_v that_o his_o do_n please_v neither_o god_n nor_o himself_o but_o when_o grace_n have_v assure_v he_o of_o god_n mercy_n he_o fall_v in_o the_o spirit_n to_o quietness_n 8._o for_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n testify_v and_o bear_v record_n with_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n that_o he_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n there_o be_v joy_n and_o consolation_n with_o this_o joyful_a song_n and_o melody_n abba_n pater_fw-la father_n father_n so_o that_o where_o so_o ever_o this_o song_n be_v feel_v in_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v such_o joy_n as_o no_o tongue_n can_v express_v as_o all_o the_o book_n of_o solomon_n ballad_n marvellous_o do_v declare_v and_o whereas_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v not_o there_o be_v either_o abomination_n of_o sin_n and_o continuance_n therein_o without_o any_o fear_n or_o grudge_v of_o conscience_n at_o all_o or_o else_o such_o heaviness_n of_o spirit_n that_o desperation_n utter_o quail_v and_o oppress_v the_o spirit_n for_o ever_o yet_o shall_v the_o spirit_n

bitter_a and_o sorrowful_a as_o all_o man_n of_o god_n do_v know_v that_o have_v feel_v they_o and_o as_o the_o prophet_n declare_v in_o the_o process_n of_o his_o psalm_n in_o this_o sort_n and_o be_v his_o promise_n come_v utter_o to_o a_o end_n for_o evermore_o have_v god_n forget_v to_o be_v gracious_a and_o will_v he_o shut_v up_o his_o love_a kindness_n in_o displeasure_n these_o demand_n and_o question_n of_o his_o own_o mind_n and_o spirit_n that_o be_v trouble_v be_v no_o more_o in_o effect_n then_o trouble_v that_o he_o name_v before_o but_o in_o this_o that_o he_o call_v the_o trouble_n by_o so_o many_o name_n it_o declare_v that_o his_o spirit_n be_v for_o the_o time_n so_o disquiet_v that_o the_o pain_n in_o manner_n can_v not_o well_o be_v name_v and_o express_v as_o

the_o very_a same_o joyful_a and_o sorrowful_a spirit_n in_o the_o ballad_n of_o solomon_n and_o in_o the_o lamentation_n of_o jeremie_n the_o prophet_n in_o the_o one_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o

of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n 27_o but_o he_o neither_o follow_v his_o own_o doctrine_n nor_o yet_o take_v any_o comfort_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n but_o hang_v himself_o desperate_o wherefore_o it_o be_v very_o expedient_a for_o everyman_n and_o woman_n that_o have_v learned_a and_o do_v know_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n to_o pray_v that_o they_o themselves_o may_v follow_v the_o truth_n and_o for_o such_o as_o know_v and_o teach_v other_o the_o consolation_n of_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v with_o knowledge_n of_o they_o feel_v they_o

have_v of_o any_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v open_v in_o this_o psalm_n in_o that_o at_o the_o first_o time_n the_o prophet_n record_v god_n work_n and_o be_v so_o trouble_v in_o his_o mind_n that_o he_o

and_o bear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o remembrance_n except_o by_o meditation_n and_o think_v upon_o it_o we_o understand_v what_o it_o mean_v and_o by_o the_o three_o we_o learn_v that_o neither_o

consider_v further_o we_o see_v how_o the_o prophet_n begin_v with_o this_o word_n remembrance_n whereof_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v learn_v before_o out_o of_o god_n word_n god_n nature_n towards_o penitent_a sinner_n to_o forgive_v they_o and_o towards_o wilful_a obstinate_a and_o impenitent_a sinner_n to_o be_v a_o just_a judge_n to_o punish_v they_o here_o be_v the_o ignorance_n of_o all_o people_n condemn_v that_o never_o learn_v to_o know_v god_n word_n in_o sickness_n nor_o in_o health_n but_o when_o they_o be_v trouble_v or_o sick_a they_o send_v for_o such_o as_o they_o think_v and_o fancy_n have_v learned_a and_o do_v remember_v how_o god_n word_n do_v comfort_n in_o adversity_n and_o then_o if_o he_o that_o be_v send_v for_o be_v not_o learned_a in_o god_n word_n he_o can_v remember_v how_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o comfort_v the_o trouble_a or_o sick_a then_o all_o that_o ever_o the_o sick_a man_n hear_v of_o a_o ignorant_a comforter_n or_o counsellor_n be_v as_o clean_o void_a of_o consolation_n or_o counsel_n as_o though_o he_o have_v never_o send_v for_o a_o counsellor_n or_o comforter_n for_o no_o man_n can_v have_v more_o of_o another_o than_o the_o other_o have_v himself_o which_o be_v neither_o knowledge_n counsel_n nor_o consolation_n out_o of_o god_n word_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o give_v knowledge_n consolation_n nor_o comfort_n to_o another_o if_o the_o prophet_n asaph_n have_v be_v as_o the_o most_o part_n of_o people_n now_o a_o day_n be_v that_o fall_v sick_a and_o into_o many_o kind_n of_o trouble_n &_o have_v

comfort_n where_o none_o be_v to_o be_v have_v seek_v knowledge_n where_o none_o be_v &_o seek_v counsel_n where_o ignorance_n abound_v let_v all_o man_n therefore_o remember_v this_o verse_n that_o when_o the_o prophet_n be_v in_o trouble_n he_o remember_v the_o wisdom_n and_o marvellous_a work_n of_o god_n for_o he_o know_v they_o before_o so_o let_v all_o man_n and_o woman_n learn_v before_o they_o come_v into_o trouble_n a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n they_o may_v remember_v it_o to_o their_o consolation_n but_o now_o to_o the_o second_o word_n where_o he_o say_v he_o will_v meditate_v in_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n here_o be_v another_o notable_a doctrine_n that_o neither_o the_o learning_n of_o god_n word_n nor_o the_o remembrance_n
