when_o god_n give_v sentence_n upon_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v always_o with_o this_o condition_n that_o he_o do_v it_o not_o with_o out_o give_v of_o we_o some_o respite_n to_o remedy_v the_o mischief_n so_o we_o seek_v the_o remedy_n by_o such_o mean_n as_o he_o command_v in_o his_o word_n and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n to_o be_v short_a we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o man_n to_o put_v forth_o themselves_o to_o make_v prayer_n and_o supplication_n except_o they_o have_v the_o promise_n and_o be_v sure_a that_o it_o be_v god_n good_a will_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v so_o but_o god_n will_v give_v they_o such_o a_o zeal_n as_o the_o temptation_n which_o shall_v cross_v they_o shall_v not_o stay_v they_o from_o go_v on_o forward_o though_o it_o seem_v to_o themselves_o that_o god_n be_v not_o mind_v to_o hear_v they_o but_o rather_o to_o put_v they_o back_o and_o to_o shake_v they_o quite_o off_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o cease_v to_o resort_v unto_o he_o as_o it_o be_v importunate_o for_o the_o importunatenesse_n whereof_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n speak_v 18.2_o luke_n 18.2_o in_o report_v the_o similitude_n concern_v a_o widow_n y_fw-fr t_o have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o wicked_a judge_n make_v you_o e_o judge_n ashamed_a though_o he_o be_v a_o naughty_a and_o froward_a man_n but_o sure_o when_o we_o come_v to_o god_n we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v importunate_a for_o jesus_n christ_n tell_v we_o that_o if_o we_o find_v mercy_n in_o man_n that_o be_v lewd_a and_o ill_o mind_v towards_o we_o we_o shall_v much_o more_o obtain_v favour_n at_o god_n hand_n who_o ●arieth_v not_o till_o we_o come_v unto_o he_o but_o call_v and_o allure_v we_o to_o he_o see_v then_o that_o he_o be_v so_o friendly_a let_v we_o not_o be_v afraid_a that_o we_o shall_v not_o obtain_v our_o request_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o let_v we_o not_o give_v over_o with_o once_o pray_v unto_o he_o as_o it_o be_v for_o fashion_n sake_n but_o let_v we_o hold_v out_o to_o the_o end_n yea_o and_o even_o be_v importunate_a upon_o he_o although_o he_o seem_v unwilling_a to_o hear_v we_o and_o let_v we_o alone_o in_o our_o distress_n yea_o and_o that_o to_o our_o seem_v our_o misery_n do_v still_o increase_v yet_o notwithstanding_o let_v not_o we_o fail_v to_o hold_v on_o still_o rest_v upon_o his_o promise_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o which_o be_v certain_a and_o unfallible_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o will_v never_o fail_v those_o which_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o truth_n now_o let_v we_o kneel_v down_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o good_a god_n with_o acknowledgement_n of_o our_o fault_n pray_v he_o to_o make_v we_o feel_v they_o better_o than_o we_o have_v do_v heretofore_o and_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o know_v what_o need_n we_o have_v to_o pray_v insomuch_o that_o every_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n we_o run_v in_o danger_n of_o endless_a death_n and_o be_v like_a to_o perish_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n it_o may_v please_v he_o to_o inflame_v we_o so_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o we_o may_v call_v upon_o he_o unfaynedlie_o and_o be_v more_o careful_a to_o do_v it_o and_o to_o exercise_v ourselves_o in_o it_o at_o all_o time_n as_o provoke_v thereto_o by_o the_o great_a need_n which_o we_o have_v thereof_o consider_v the_o misery_n wherethrough_a we_o shall_v perish_v if_o we_o be_v not_o succour_v by_o he_o and_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o it_o may_v please_v he_o to_o bear_v with_o we_o in_o our_o infirmity_n and_o not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v rend_v off_o from_o y_z e_z body_n of_o his_o church_n but_o make_v we_o to_o perceive_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o prayer_n which_o be_v

of_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 11.13_o heb._n 11.13_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v not_o a_o eye_n to_o the_o

drive_v out_o of_o it_o every_o day_n yet_o possess_v he_o the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v he_o but_o now_o if_o we_o make_v comparison_n between_o abraham_n and_o we_o have_v we_o not_o

let_v we_o walk_v on_o upon_o earth_n in_o sufferance_n of_o many_o conflict_n look_v only_o upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v promise_v we_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o we_o be_v sure_a of_o the_o

such_o war_n as_o be_v take_v in_o hand_n through_o ambition_n or_o covetousness_n or_o pride_n otherwise_o we_o see_v here_o that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n ought_v to_o make_v war_n for_o god_n

to_o flight_n that_o be_v a_o change_n that_o come_v of_o god_n but_o as_o for_o to_o assail_v unprovoke_v that_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o be_v not_o to_o fight_v against_o creature_n but_o against_o the_o live_a god_n and_o let_v we_o weigh_v well_o the_o word_n that_o be_v set_v down_o here_o thou_o shall_v not_o provoke_v they_o say_v he_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v afraid_a of_o thou_o and_o

misbehave_v themselves_o for_o even_o therefore_o do_v he_o cast_v that_o fear_n upon_o the_o edomite_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n shall_v not_o have_v any_o occasion_n of_o

for_o their_o master_n therefore_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o lowelinesse_n and_o obedience_n god_n be_v fain_o to_o afflict_v us._n mark_n that_o for_o one_o point_n and_o god_n make_v this_o trial_n that_o moses_n speak_v of_o not_o for_o that_o he_o need_v to_o search_v we_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o for_o mortal_a man_n be_v fain_o to_o make_v some_o trial_n because_o they_o know_v

man_n stand_v in_o their_o own_o conceit_n bear_v themselves_o on_o hand_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o perfect_a virtue_n and_o holiness_n but_o if_o god_n nip_v they_o a_o

that_o if_o god_n afflict_v we_o oftentimes_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a consider_v the_o needefulnesse_n thereof_o for_o if_o he_o shall_v let_v we_o alone_o in_o our_o delight_n and_o

our_o welfare_n in_o he_o see_v then_o that_o affliction_n be_v so_o beneficial_a let_v we_o learn_v to_o bear_v they_o patient_o and_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o they_o willing_o though_o they_o go_v against_o our_o stomach_n here_o be_v express_a mention_n make_v of_o humility_n and_o obedience_n for_o first_o of_o all_o if_o man_n continue_v in_o their_o loftiness_n they_o can_v bow_v to_o

in_o this_o text_n when_o he_o say_v it_o be_v god_n will_v so_o to_o afflict_v thou_o and_o to_o what_o end_n to_o the_o end_n thou_o shall_v not_o say_v it_o be_v my_o own_o strength_n and_o my_o own_o power_n that_o have_v get_v i_o this_o abundance_n we_o see_v that_o when_o god_n suffer_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n to_o proceed_v he_o that_o be_v scotfree_a think_v not_o that_o his_o

that_o they_o be_v nothing_o nor_o nothing_o can_v do_v and_o make_v they_o to_o feel_v it_o spite_n of_o their_o heart_n therefore_o be_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n feed_v after_o a_o wonderful_a

thus_o you_o see_v why_o express_a commandment_n be_v give_v to_o governor_n in_o this_o text_n to_o send_v home_o fainthearted_a and_o couwardly_a soldier_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o how_o

we_o ought_v to_o seek_v at_o god_n hand_n yet_o be_v it_o much_o when_o we_o see_v he_o have_v a_o care_n of_o this_o corruptible_a life_n and_o that_o ought_v to_o make_v we_o to_o sty_n up_o high_a for_o when_o we_o see_v that_o god_n vouchsafe_v to_o feed_v our_o body_n ought_v we_o not_o to_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v much_o more_o likely_a that_o he_o will_v feed_v our_o soul_n which_o be_v much_o more_o dear_a unto_o he_o the_o good_a then_o which_o we_o receive_v here_o beneath_o aught_o to_o serve_v to_o make_v we_o to_o send_v up_o our_o trust_n above_o the_o heaven_n to_o seek_v a_o better_a life_n at_o his_o hand_n which_o we_o can_v not_o as_o now_o comprehend_v and_o therefore_o of_o no_o small_a importance_n be_v this_o promise_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n will_v always_o make_v his_o people_n see_v and_o feel_v that_o he_o be_v their_o foster_n father_n that_o he_o give_v they_o corn_n and_o wine_n for_o their_o sustenance_n and_o that_o he_o will_v send_v

then_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o place_n be_v that_o if_o we_o be_v of_o god_n flock_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v destitute_a of_o any_o needful_a thing_n for_o even_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n we_o shall_v be_v feed_v and_o nourish_v at_o his_o hand_n and_o when_o we_o obtain_v sustenance_n at_o god_n hand_n it_o be_v to_o encourage_v us._n let_v such_o as_o be_v poor_a take_v pain_n and_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o bless_v their_o labour_n because_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o to_o sustain_v those_o that_o be_v he_o lo_o how_o the_o poor_a aught_o to_o be_v stir_v up_o unto_o prayer_n and_o if_o they_o have_v little_a wherewith_o to_o sustain_v they_o let_v they_o consider_v that_o god_n intend_v to_o try_v their_o

let_v not_o the_o rich_a sort_n be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n upon_o that_o they_o have_v their_o life_n in_o their_o own_o hand_n but_o let_v they_o understande_v that_o it_o behoove_v they_o to_o have_v recourse_n unto_o god_n with_o all_o their_o good_n for_o if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o regard_n of_o he_o let_v they_o assure_v themselves_o that_o he_o can_v well_o consume_v the_o corn_n in_o their_o garner_n the_o grift_n at_o the_o mill_n &_o the_o batch_n in_o the_o oven_n yea_o he_o will_v consume_v the_o bread_n in_o their_o belly_n so_o as_o in_o steed_n of_o receyve_v nourishment_n by_o it_o they_o have_v nothing_o but_o corruption_n let_v we_o know_v then_o that_o god_n must_v be_v fain_o to_o perform_v y_o it_o which_o be_v declare_v here_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o eye_n may_v be_v upon_o a_o land_n of_o corn_n and_o wine_n and_o that_o it_o behoove_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v he_o to_o who_o we_o be_v behold_v for_o all_o thing_n i_o grant_v it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v such_o abundance_n as_o we_o will_v wish_v and_o as_o our_o flesh_n lu_v for_o but_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o god_n show_v that_o he_o forget_v not_o his_o servant_n and_o that_o although_o he_o give_v they_o but_o a_o small_a and_o slender_a pittance_n yet_o they_o have_v wherewith_o to_o content_v themselves_o because_o they_o receive_v sustenance_n at_o his_o hand_n therefore_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v to_o pass_v through_o this_o world_n let_v it_o suffice_v we_o that_o god_n vouchsafe_v still_o to_o sustain_v we_o and_o that_o in_o so_o do_v he_o show_v himself_o a_o father_n towards_o we_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v go_v on_o still_o and_o keep_v on_o our_o way_n to_o the_o heavenly_a heritage_n whereunto_o he_o will_v bring_v we_o to_o make_v we_o enjoy_v the_o thing_n full_o and_o perfect_o whereof_o we_o have_v knowledge_n as_o now_o but_o in_o part_n after_o that_o manner_n ought_v we_o to_o put_v the_o say_a lesson_n in_o practice_n for_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o the_o temporal_a blessing_n which_o god_n send_v to_o his_o child_n he_o mean_v not_o to_o hold_v they_o there_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v seek_v no_o great_a thing_n but_o contrariwise_o because_o we_o be_v reckless_a and_o slow_a and_o can_v not_o step_v one_o step_n without_o stumble_v except_o we_o be_v uphelde_v by_o god_n and_o special_o we_o can_v not_o have_v the_o steedinesse_n and_o constancy_n to_o say_v let_v we_o put_v ourselves_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o god_n let_v we_o yield_v unto_o he_o and_o in_o our_o pass_n through_o this_o world_n let_v we_o not_o be_v hold_v back_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n provide_v for_o all_o our_o necessity_n be_v to_o none_o
