we_o it_o be_v good_a reason_n that_o he_o take_v they_o from_o we_o and_o set_v we_o clean_o without_o they_o yea_o and_o that_o he_o take_v his_o holy_a spirit_n from_o we_o although_o we_o have_v

to_o walk_v as_o thou_o have_v command_v for_o our_o heart_n be_v altogether_o perverse_a and_o wicked_a there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o rebellion_n and_o treason_n against_o thou_o we_o

know_v to_o be_v clean_o contrary_a unto_o it_o he_o mean_v to_o declare_v that_o we_o be_v entangle_v with_o so_o many_o vice_n and_o desire_n as_o be_v most_o lamentable_a and_o to_o say_v the_o

and_o it_o be_v not_o only_o here_o but_o the_o holy_a scripture_n use_v this_o speech_n throughout_o and_o hereupon_o also_o it_o be_v that_o the_o prophet_n abacuc_n say_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v

&_o be_v true_o humble_v and_o contrariwise_o if_o we_o feel_v that_o pride_n puff_v we_o up_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o we_o have_v as_o yet_o profit_v very_o slender_o in_o the_o school_n of_o

unto_o man_n as_o that_o we_o practise_v that_o which_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o 2.3_o phil._n 2.3_o to_o wit_n that_o every_o man_n esteem_n of_o his_o brother_n better_o than_o of_o himself_o

of_o he_o loe_o the_o combatte_n wherewith_o satan_n daily_o assail_v us._n when_o as_o the_o ungodly_a do_v see_v the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o any_o misery_n and_o calamity_n they_o rush_v even_o upon_o they_o at_o the_o first_o dash_n and_o say_v ha_o ha_o this_o man_n think_v that_o god_n ought_v to_o watch_v over_o he_o and_o that_o no_o sorrow_n nor_o grief_n shall_v come_v upon_o he_o and_o now_o we_o see_v what_o be_v become_v of_o he_o and_o because_o he_o have_v hear_v he_o speak_v he_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v never_o forsake_v he_o but_o we_o see_v now_o what_o come_v of_o

be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n alone_o that_o david_n have_v be_v thus_o assail_v for_o this_o be_v a_o ordinary_a thing_n with_o he_o as_o we_o see_v throughout_o the_o whole_a two_o and_o twenty_o

much_o for_o the_o first_o point_n for_o the_o second_o let_v we_o note_v that_o we_o have_v not_o war_n with_o man_n when_o as_o the_o ungodly_a do_v so_o rise_v against_o we_o and_o vomit_v out_o

of_o god_n when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o faithful_a know_v this_o it_o pull_v down_o their_o high_a mind_n they_o be_v no_o more_o arrogant_a nor_o presumptuous_a to_o lift_v themselves_o up_o

he_o shall_v suffer_v the_o wicked_a to_o run_v whether_o they_o lift_v and_o let_v they_o do_v whatsoever_o they_o desire_v now_o this_o be_v a_o terrible_a temptation_n and_o why_o for_o on_o the_o

why_o david_n have_v here_o recite_v his_o persecution_n which_o he_o abide_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o wicked_a now_o it_o be_v so_o that_o he_o be_v in_o such_o conflict_n have_v to_o fight_v against_o these_o two_o temptation_n which_o i_o have_v note_v show_v right_o well_o that_o he_o remain_v still_o conqueror_n and_o see_v why_o he_o say_v how_o many_o be_v the_o day_n of_o thy_o

that_o i_o have_v already_o abide_v so_o much_o as_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o endure_v more_o thou_o see_v i_o even_o at_o the_o graves_n brink_n it_o be_v now_o time_n or_o else_o never_o to_o

a_o intolerable_a affliction_n when_o he_o call_v upon_o god_n in_o this_o manner_n wherefore_o we_o be_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o to_o meditate_v on_o this_o place_n for_o although_o god_n suffer_v we_o to_o be_v afflict_v but_o for_o a_o little_a while_n yet_o the_o same_o last_v so_o with_o we_o as_o that_o we_o be_v vex_v even_o to_o the_o uttermoste_a will_v say_v i_o know_v not_o where_o i_o be_o nor_o what_o to_o do_v herein_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n defer_v his_o aid_n so_o long_o for_o in_o stead_n too_o call_v upon_o he_o it_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_n rather_o that_o we_o murmur_v yea_o and_o moyte_v as_o it_o be_v secret_o against_o he_o now_o the_o right_a remedy_n to_o overcome_v these_o temptation_n &_o not_o so_o to_o murmur_v against_o god_n in_o our_o affliction_n be_v this_o to_o call_v upon_o he_o with_o full_a assurance_n beseech_v he_o to_o grant_v we_o his_o grace_n that_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o affliction_n which_o he_o lay_v upon_o we_o yet_o that_o he_o leave_v we_o not_o for_o all_o that_o too_o hope_v after_o that_o which_o he_o have_v promise_v us._n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o david_n declare_v yet_o more_o full_o when_o after_o he_o have_v say_v that_o the_o ungodly_a have_v go_v about_o to_o dig_v pit_n for_o he_o which_o be_v not_o after_o his_o law_n he_o add_v and_o say_v all_o thy_o commandment_n be_v true_a they_o persecute_v i_o false_o be_v thou_o my_o help_n here_o he_o express_v what_o the_o injury_n &_o outrage_n be_v which_o they_o have_v do_v he_o they_o have_v say_v he_o dig_v pit_n for_o i_o yea_o and_o he_o protest_v that_o they_o do_v it_o unjust_o that_o he_o never_o give_v the_o wicked_a occasion_n to_o hurt_v he_o but_o that_o he_o have_v walk_v in_o a_o good_a and_o pure_a conscience_n yet_o say_v he_o they_o have_v go_v about_o to_o circumvent_v and_o compass_v i_o round_o about_o we_o see_v then_o that_o david_n have_v no_o small_a assault_n but_o such_o as_o be_v even_o deadly_a that_o it_o be_v without_o all_o question_n that_o he_o must_v be_v utter_o confound_v yea_o &_o although_o he_o never_o hurt_v any_o of_o they_o that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o

heretofore_o handle_v to_o wit_n that_o to_o whatsoever_o extremititie_n we_o be_v drive_v unto_o in_o our_o affliction_n we_o shall_v bring_v they_o to_o a_o very_a good_a end_n when_o as_o we_o be_v

i_o false_o o_o help_v i_o david_n set_v down_o here_o three_o point_n the_o one_o be_v that_o god_n be_v true_a &_o after_o he_o add_v a_o protestation_n of_o his_o good_a conduct_n and_o guydance_n and_o of_o the_o malice_n of_o his_o adversaries_n three_o he_o call_v upon_o god_n in_o his_o affliction_n now_o as_o concern_v the_o first_o he_o show_v we_o that_o although_o satan_n to_o shake_v we_o and_o in_o the_o end_n utter_o too_o carry_v we_o away_o subtle_o and_o cunning_o go_v about_o to_o deceive_v we_o we_o must_v to_o the_o contrary_a learn_v how_o to_o know_v his_o ambush_n and_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o out_o of_o they_o so_o often_o then_o as_o we_o be_v greeve_v with_o adversity_n and_o affliction_n where_o must_v we_o begin_v see_v satan_n how_o he_o pitch_v his_o net_n and_o lay_v his_o ambush_n to_o induce_v and_o persuade_v we_o to_o come_v into_o they_o what_o say_v he_o do_v thou_o not_o see_v thyself_o forsake_v of_o thy_o god_n where_o be_v the_o promise_n whereunto_o thou_o do_v trust_v now_o here_o thou_o see_v thyself_o to_o be_v a_o wretched_a forlorn_a creature_n so_o then_o thou_o right_o well_o see_v that_o god_n have_v deceive_v thou_o and_o that_o the_o promise_n whereunto_o thou_o tru_v appertain_v nothing_o at_o all_o unto_o thou_o see_v here_o the_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n what_o be_v now_o to_o be_v do_v we_o be_v to_o conclude_v with_o david_n and_o say_v yet_o god_n be_v true_a and_o faithful_a let_v we_o i_o say_v keep_v in_o mind_n the_o truth_n of_o god_n as_o a_o shield_v too_o beat_v back_o whatsoever_o satan_n be_v able_a to_o lay_v unto_o our_o charge_n when_o as_o he_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o deny_v our_o faith_n when_o as_o also_o he_o shall_v lie_v about_o we_o too_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n think_v no_o more_o of_o we_o or_o else_o that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o we_o too_o trust_v unto_o his_o promise_n but_o let_v we_o know_v clean_o contrary_a that_o it_o be_v very_o

according_a to_o this_o it_o be_v here_o say_v thy_o word_n o_o lord_n abide_v for_o ever_o in_o heaven_n some_o expound_v this_o as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o because_o the_o heaven_n

here_o beneath_o see_v they_o the_o reason_n why_o david_n in_o this_o make_v the_o seat_n and_o house_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o heaven_n because_o we_o have_v need_n to_o look_v a_o great_a

how_o god_n have_v first_o declare_v his_o word_n unto_o we_o wherein_o our_o salvation_n be_v altogether_o certain_a now_o here_o we_o have_v to_o note_v in_o this_o strain_n that_o david_n have_v have_v such_o experience_n deserve_v well_o to_o be_v hear_v and_o that_o they_o be_v no_o vain_a word_n which_o he_o here_o set_v down_o before_o hand_n but_o that_o god_n also_o will_v have_v it_o

moreover_o let_v we_o learn_v right_o too_o understande_v how_o sure_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n not_o too_o seek_v for_o the_o certainty_n thereof_o without_o ourselves_o

that_o david_n after_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n declare_v here_o that_o he_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v hear_v but_o in_o this_o respect_n that_o god_n be_v good_a and_o

all_o our_o enemy_n to_o set_v we_o aloft_o and_o to_o bear_v we_o such_o favour_n as_o that_o we_o may_v have_v all_o thing_n at_o our_o own_o desire_n loe_o i_o beseech_v you_o how_o we_o desire_v to_o have_v god_n to_o show_v himself_o for_o like_a as_o we_o be_v fleshly_a so_o also_o will_v we_o have_v he_o to_o show_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o a_o visible_a manner_n all_o this_o while_n

who_o he_o so_o great_o love_v as_o the_o scripture_n witness_v of_o he_o now_o here_o we_o be_v to_o note_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o when_o david_n desire_v god_n to_o look_v upon_o

consider_v not_o of_o all_o that_o be_v too_o be_v consider_v neither_o do_v he_o conclude_v that_o god_n will_v cast_v off_o his_o child_n in_o such_o sort_n but_o yet_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o natural_a reason_n can_v reach_v see_v how_o he_o may_v judge_v of_o his_o estate_n and_o at_o that_o point_n also_o be_v all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n for_o on_o the_o one_o side_n when_o as_o they_o shall_v look_v upon_o their_o own_o state_n and_o condition_n they_o can_v choose_v but_o that_o they_o must_v be_v force_v to_o say_v what_o a_o thing_n be_v this_o sure_o if_o god_n have_v

and_o therefore_o so_o often_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v thus_o trouble_v to_o think_v that_o god_n have_v no_o long_a care_n over_o we_o but_o that_o he_o have_v clere_o forsake_v we_o yet_o let_v not_o

that_o in_o this_o world_n he_o have_v care_n over_o we_o and_o our_o life_n be_v as_o it_o be_v commit_v unto_o he_o so_o that_o herein_o lie_v the_o whole_a substance_n that_o after_o he_o have_v

the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o as_o he_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o david_n now_o he_o go_v on_o for_o a_o conclusion_n and_o say_v thy_o word_n be_v true_a from_o everlasting_a

that_o which_o we_o oftentimes_o have_v before_o see_v to_o wit_n that_o david_n his_o chief_a desire_n be_v this_o to_o be_v due_o and_o true_o instruct_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therein_o to_o be_v confirm_v for_o he_o take_v such_o pleasure_n in_o it_o as_o that_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v little_a or_o nothing_o worth_a unto_o he_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o same_o now_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o he_o have_v already_o sufficient_o speak_v of_o this_o matter_n and_o yet_o that_o which_o he_o present_o add_v be_v not_o supperfluous_a especial_o if_o we_o consider_v in_o what_o sort_n our_o carnal_a desire_n rule_v us._n for_o that_o be_v it_o which_o let_v we_o that_o we_o can_v not_o only_o have_v that_o fervency_n which_o david_n have_v to_o seek_v thorough_o to_o profit_v in_o the_o school_n of_o god_n but_o we_o scarce_o have_v so_o much_o as_o any_o small_a desire_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v we_o be_v too_o too_o much_o nuzzele_v in_o our_o earthly_a affection_n wherefore_o this_o be_v a_o lesson_n which_o ought_v many_o time_n too_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o if_o we_o will_v pray_v unto_o god_n according_a unto_o his_o will_n we_o must_v not_o come_v unto_o he_o with_o a_o desire_n of_o our_o own_o to_o say_v whatsoever_o come_v in_o our_o brain_n yea_o and_o to_o leave_v out_o the_o most_o principal_a part_n but_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o this_o say_n to_o wit_n that_o it_o will_v please_v god_n so_o to_o instruct_v we_o as_o that_o our_o life_n may_v be_v square_v according_a to_o his_o law_n and_o we_o to_o cleave_v so_o unto_o it_o as_o not_o to_o come_v with_o a_o double_a and_o twyfold_o heart_n although_o we_o be_v to_o strive_v against_o the_o world_n and_o our_o own_o nature_n yet_o must_v we_o remain_v constant_a in_o this_o chief_o to_o love_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o for_o this_o cause_n david_n here_o say_v let_v my_o complaint_n come_v before_o thou_o o_o lord_n and_o give_v i_o understanding_n according_a unto_o thy_o word_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o complaint_n which_o he_o make_v unto_o the_o lord_n he_o show_v that_o he_o make_v no_o cold_a prayer_n unto_o god_n as_o we_o many_o time_n and_o as_o it_o be_v daily_o do_v but_o with_o great_a vehemency_n i_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v very_o well_o make_v complaint_n with_o a_o loud_a noise_n and_o thrust_v out_o his_o weasaunt_n but_o david_n have_v here_o consideration_n of_o god_n mean_v not_o to_o make_v a_o outward_a show_n before_o man_n wherefore_o that_o he_o cry_v out_o aloud_o import_v as_o much_o as_o a_o earnest_a testimony_n wherewith_o he_o be_v prick_v forward_o now_o by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o he_o chief_o desire_v that_o which_o he_o crave_v to_o wit_n to_o have_v god_n to_o instruct_v he_o and_o to_o give_v he_o understanding_n and_o in_o desire_v this_o gift_n of_o god_n he_o confess_v that_o he_o be_v of_o himself_o a_o very_a wretched_a blind_a soul_n that_o he_o never_o understand_v any_o thing_n yea_o although_o he_o have_v the_o law_n in_o his_o hand_n which_o he_o may_v read_v wherein_o be_v contain_v a_o true_a perfection_n of_o all_o wisdom_n yet_o that_o he_o still_o continue_v even_o like_o a_o poor_a miserable_a blind_a wretch_n except_o god_n enlighten_v he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o this_o be_v a_o especial_a gift_n which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o we_o when_o he_o open_v our_o eye_n too_o make_v we_o understande_v that_o which_o be_v show_v in_o his_o word_n whether_o we_o read_v it_o or_o that_o it_o be_v preach_v unto_o us._n yea_o and_o let_v we_o not_o here_o make_v any_o exception_n think_v ourselves_o to_o be_v more_o sharp_a witted_a or_o able_a than_o david_n be_v but_o let_v we_o rather_o know_v that_o if_o he_o need_v to_o beseech_v god_n to_o give_v he_o understanding_n that_o we_o for_o our_o part_n have_v as_o great_a need_n so_o then_o it_o can_v not_o be_v choose_v but_o that_o when_o god_n have_v deliver_v unto_o we_o his_o word_n and_o declare_v his_o will_n therein_o contain_v and_o for_o performance_n hereof_o inlighten_v our_o heart_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n for_o other_o way_n we_o shall_v have_v our_o care_n beat_v in_o vain_a and_o then_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v hear_v will_v do_v we_o no_o good_a now_o that_o which_o follow_v according_a unto_o thy_o word_n may_v two_o way_n beset_v forth_o according_a unto_o thy_o word_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o thou_o will_v make_v i_o wise_a and_o after_o what_o manner_n that_o i_o be_v altogether_o rule_v by_o thou_o and_o do_v that_o which_o thou_o command_v this_o be_v a_o very_a true_a say_n for_o by_o this_o we_o be_v admonish_v to_o hear_v god_n speak_v and_o we_o again_o must_v suffer_v he_o to_o have_v dominion_n over_o we_o and_o not_o to_o be_v overtake_v with_o this_o fooolish_a arrogancy_n and_o say_v i_o have_v knowledge_n enough_o i_o need_v not_o so_o much_o teach_v wherefore_o when_o as_o god_n shall_v have_v speak_v the_o word_n let_v we_o pass_v it_o simple_o and_o without_o gainsay_v this_o sentence_n then_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v be_v very_o true_a but_o yet_o it_o agree_v not_o with_o the_o meaning_n of_o david_n he_o yet_o with_o the_o plamenesse_n of_o the_o text_n for_o he_o crave_v here_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o in_o the_o first_o verse_n the_o other_o in_o the_o second_o he_o say_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n let_v my_o complaint_n come_v before_o thou_o that_o i_o may_v be_v instruct_v according_a unto_o thy_o word_n and_o afterward_o he_o add_v 〈◊〉_d my_o supplication_n come_v be_v before_o thou_o and_o deliver_v i_o according_a unto_o thy_o word_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o he_o use_v two_o sentence_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o without_o a_o marvelous_a grace_n in_o oneself_o same_o signification_n and_o by_o this_o repetition_n we_o
