with_o hope_v they_o be_v child_n and_o take_v a_o blind_a guess_n to_o lean_v to_o in_o stead_n of_o hope_n it_o be_v dangerous_a remember_v what_o i_o mark_v in_o the_o morning_n from_o rom._n 9_o

at_o the_o exercise_n of_o hope_n in_o particular_a difficulty_n and_o exigency_n and_o first_o in_o general_n jacob_n get_v that_o name_n when_o he_o be_v at_o his_o prayer_n that_o be_v the_o

of_o the_o psalm_n in_o general_a that_o the_o psalmist_n be_v in_o a_o distress_n and_o be_v in_o a_o distress_n you_o will_v find_v he_o first_o wrestle_a and_o then_o second_o victorious_a for_o

5_o 6._o again_o in_o the_o last_o two_o verse_n you_o have_v he_o victorious_a for_o have_v get_v a_o issue_n he_o hoard_v it_o not_o up_o he_o do_v not_o conceal_v it_o but_z he_o bring_v it_o

two_o verse_n upon_o which_o i_o may_v be_v the_o more_o brief_a that_o i_o have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v to_o you_o before_o of_o the_o trouble_n and_o trial_n of_o god_n people_n of_o prayer_n and_o god_n answer_v prayer_n yet_o we_o shall_v not_o pass_v this_o part_n but_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o gather_v some_o thing_n useful_a from_o it_o in_o this_o his_o wrestle_a then_o take_v

it_o and_o he_o avow_v it_o before_o god_n out_o of_o the_o depth_n have_v i_o cry_v unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n 4._o you_o have_v the_o prosecution_n of_o this_o his_o wrestle_a or_o his_o plead_n for_o audience_n in_o a_o new_a and_o double_a suit_n vers_fw-la 2._o lord_n hear_v my_o voice_n let_v thy_o ear_n be_v attentive_a to_o the_o voice_n of_o my_o supplication_n for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o the_o depth_n out_o of_o which_o he_o cry_v i_o can_v accord_v to_o understand_v it_o thus_o that_o he_o pray_v from_o the_o depth_n or_o bottom_n of_o his_o heart_n so_o the_o commentator_n i_o speak_v of_o before_o understand_v it_o of_o that_o degree_n of_o virtue_n which_o be_v profound_a prayer_n from_o the_o inward_a part_n or_o bottom_n of_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v a_o truth_n in_o that_o i_o confess_v that_o prayer_n shall_v come_v from_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o in_o prayer_n we_o shall_v write_v our_o heart_n on_o our_o tongue_n but_o i_o find_v it_o not_o a_o scripture_n phrase_n that_o people_n be_v say_v to_o pray_v from_o the_o heart_n when_o they_o cry_v out_o of_o the_o depth_n neither_o can_v i_o understand_v it_o of_o the_o conscience_n of_o sin_n only_o that_o as_o some_o will_v understand_v it_o he_o be_v under_o a_o deep_a of_o despair_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o gild_n that_o he_o speak_v of_o vers_n 3_o 4._o and_o have_v a_o

these_o depth_n and_o this_o interpretation_n agree_v best_a with_o the_o current_n of_o scripture_n where_o we_o find_v the_o horrible_a pit_n the_o miry_a clay_n depth_n deep_a water_n water_n
