christ_n whereas_o he_o usual_o mean_v jesus_n christ_n as_o i_o can_v full_o clear_v it_o if_o i_o have_v time_n let_v i_o give_v you_o one_o instance_n in_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o former_a psalm_n arise_v o_o god_n judge_v the_o earth_n for_o thou_o shall_v inherit_v all_o nation_n that_o be_v clear_o mean_v of_o christ_n for_o we_o know_v that_o god_n inherit_v all_o nation_n he_o make_v the_o world_n and_o he_o have_v the_o command_n and_o possession_n of_o it_o but_o to_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o god_n have_v promise_v that_o he_o shall_v inherit_v the_o nation_n from_o the_o uttermost_a end_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o here_o by_o god_n be_v mean_v jesus_n christ_n for_o indeed_o ordinary_o and_o natural_o you_o shall_v not_o find_v a_o people_n conspire_v against_o god_n proper_o you_o shall_v see_v no_o wicked_a man_n but_o in_o some_o sort_n or_o other_o he_o will_v speak_v honourable_o of_o god_n but_o god_n in_o christ_n god_n in_o the_o mediator_n god_n in_o the_o gospel_n god_n in_o his_o saint_n god_n in_o gospel_n ordinance_n and_o the_o like_a hence_o be_v all_o the_o tumult_n in_o the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o conspiracy_n against_o god_n and_o his_o saint_n therefore_o if_o you_o compare_v this_o place_n thy_o enemy_n make_v a_o tumult_n against_o thou_o with_o psal_n 2._o why_o do_v the_o heathen_a rage_n or_o why_o do_v they_o make_v a_o tumult_n as_o some_o read_v it_o and_o why_o do_v the_o people_n imagine_v a_o vain_a thing_n the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n take_v counsel_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o against_o his_o anointed_n that_o be_v mere_o mean_v of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o that_o carnal_a man_n ordinary_o do_v not_o speak_v or_o think_v evil_a of_o god_n absolute_o consider_v but_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n speak_v well_o of_o he_o when_o he_o give_v they_o wealth_n they_o thank_v he_o when_o he_o give_v they_o fair_a weather_n they_o bless_v he_o when_o he_o give_v they_o peace_n and_o preserve_v they_o in_o their_o journey_n and_o way_n every_o one_o speak_v well_o of_o god_n but_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n god_n manifest_a in_o the_o flesh_n god_n in_o the_o mediator_n god_n in_o his_o saint_n god_n in_o his_o ordinance_n god_n in_o his_o command_n and_o the_o like_a then_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n use_v to_o make_v tumult_n than_o they_o take_v crafty_a counsel_n together_o and_o conspire_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o against_o he_o appoint_v keep_v not_o thou_o silence_n o_o god_n hold_v not_o thy_o peace_n be_v not_o still_o you_o see_v the_o prophet_n look_v upon_o god_n as_o one_o that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o conspiracy_n do_v keep_v silence_n and_o hold_v his_o peace_n and_o sit_v still_o not_o that_o god_n do_v use_v to_o speak_v or_o to_o stir_v proper_o as_o we_o man_n do_v but_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o many_o time_n when_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o law_n and_o his_o ordinance_n be_v most_o conspire_v against_o god_n as_o it_o be_v do_v keep_v silence_n i_o mean_v jesus_n christ_n god_n in_o christ_n when_o his_o people_n and_o ordinance_n be_v conspire_v against_o he_o keep_v silence_n and_o sit_v still_o as_o though_o he_o will_v let_v his_o enemy_n do_v what_o they_o will_v and_o what_o they_o listen_v as_o though_o god_n do_v not_o see_v or_o heed_n which_o end_n do_v go_v forward_o the_o lord_n oft_o do_v this_o keep_v not_o silent_a o_o god_n i_o remember_v that_o place_n in_o isaiah_n 40._o 27._o why_o say_v thou_o o_o jacob_n and_o speak_v o_o israel_n my_o way_n be_v hide_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o my_o judgement_n be_v pass_v over_o from_o my_o god_n the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o when_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n as_o we_o see_v chap._n 39_o do_v oppress_v this_o people_n they_o do_v pray_v to_o he_o and_o look_v for_o assistance_n from_o he_o but_o he_o be_v silent_a as_o it_o be_v or_o asleep_o therefore_o they_o begin_v to_o say_v in_o their_o heart_n my_o way_n be_v hide_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o my_o judgement_n be_v pass_v over_o from_o my_o god_n that_o be_v sure_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v eye_n and_o see_v my_o way_n and_o how_o man_n deal_v with_o i_o while_o i_o be_o believe_v and_o wait_v and_o pray_v and_o humble_v my_o soul_n no_o my_o way_n be_v hide_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o my_o judgement_n be_v pass_v over_o from_o my_o god_n that_o be_v my_o god_n have_v forget_v to_o give_v ear_n to_o i_o belove_a there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o lord_n as_o it_o be_v give_v cause_n to_o his_o people_n so_o to_o think_v that_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v asleep_o and_o let_v their_o enemy_n go_v on_o and_o none_o contradict_v they_o i_o be_v think_v out_o of_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v three_o reason_n faith_n 3._o reason_n of_o god_n silence_n in_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o saint_n 1._o to_o try_v their_o faith_n why_o the_o

he_o leave_v they_o when_o the_o ship_n be_v cover_v with_o wave_n and_o they_o be_v row_v for_o their_o life_n their_o lord_n be_v asleep_o the_o while_n and_o he_o say_v to_o they_o why_o be_v you_o fearful_a o_o you_o of_o little_a faith_n then_o he_o arise_v and_o rebuke_v the_o wind_n and_o the_o sea_n and_o there_o be_v a_o great_a calm_a true_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v his_o

we_o do_v see_v god_n present_a strike_v of_o wicked_a man_n when_o they_o consult_v against_o his_o child_n this_o be_v sense_n man_n will_v see_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o stick_v to_o god_n

another_o reason_n in_o isaiah_n 59_o and_o that_o be_v the_o uprightness_n 2._o to_o try_v their_o uprightness_n lord_n do_v keep_v silence_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o trouble_n of_o his_o
