now_o therefore_o i_o nabuchadnezzar_n praise_n and_o extol_v and_o magnify_v the_o king_n of_o heaven_n who_o work_n be_v all_o truth_n and_o his_o way_n judgement_n and_o those_o that_o walk_v in_o

there_o be_v no_o god_n now_o with_o heart_n and_o mouth_n honour_v none_o but_o god_n his_o pride_n and_o his_o fall_n daniel_n declare_v but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o his_o restitution_n he_o make_v

to_o give_v thanks_n for_o his_o favour_n receive_v and_o then_o be_v dismiss_v in_o these_o verse_n two_o thing_n show_v themselves_o at_o the_o first_o view_n that_o be_v nabuchadnezzars_n restitution_n and_o his_o thankfulness_n in_o his_o restitution_n first_o he_o show_v the_o time_n when_o he_o be_v restore_v in_o these_o word_n at_o the_o end_n of_o these_o day_n than_o he_o show_v the_o manner_n how_o he_o be_v restore_v in_o these_o word_n i_o nabuchadnezzar_n lift_v up_o my_o eye_n to_o heaven_n and_o my_o understanding_n be_v restore_v to_o i_o in_o his_o thankfulness_n first_o he_o extoll_v god_n power_n in_o set_v he_o up_o and_o pull_v he_o down_o and_o raise_v he_o again_o then_o he_o commend_v god_n justice_n and_o truth_n which_o deserve_v to_o be_v praise_v for_o his_o judgement_n as_o much_o as_o for_o his_o mercy_n as_o though_o he_o rejoice_v that_o god_n have_v make_v he_o like_o a_o beast_n that_o he_o may_v die_v like_o a_o man_n at_o the_o end_n of_o these_o day_n as_o daniel_n note_v the_o time_n of_o his_o pride_n when_o he_o walk_v in_o his_o palace_n to_o show_v how_o pride_n grow_v out_o of_o building_n and_o wealth_n and_o apparel_n and_o such_o root_n so_o he_o note_v the_o time_n of_o his_o fall_n while_o the_o word_n be_v in_o his_o mouth_n to_o show_v that_o he_o be_v punish_v for_o his_o pride_n and_o ignorance_n that_o he_o may_v know_v where_o to_o begin_v his_o conversion_n and_o abate_v his_o pride_n and_o when_o he_o have_v take_v away_o the_o cause_n than_o god_n will_v take_v away_o the_o punishment_n so_o likewise_o he_o note_v the_o time_n of_o his_o restitution_n at_o the_o end_n of_o these_o day_n that_o be_v after_o seven_o year_n be_v expire_v to_o show_v how_o long_o the_o sickness_n of_o pride_n be_v in_o cure_v and_o to_o show_v how_o every_o thing_n be_v fulfil_v which_o be_v prophesy_v even_o to_o the_o point_n of_o time_n for_o it_o be_v tell_v he_o by_o daniel_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v like_o a_o beast_n seven_o year_n therefore_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v prompt_v as_o it_o be_v to_o confess_v the_o truth_n and_o say_v as_o the_o prophet_n say_v at_o the_o end_n of_o these_o day_n that_o be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o seven_o year_n i_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v restore_v to_o my_o kingdom_n as_o daniel_n tell_v i_o yet_o another_o note_n be_v set_v upon_o this_o beast_n lest_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o god_n only_o regard_v the_o season_n and_o think_v seven_o year_n punishment_n enough_o for_o such_o a_o sin_n he_o say_v not_o bare_o that_o his_o understanding_n and_o honour_n be_v restore_v unto_o he_o when_o seven_o year_n be_v end_v but_o that_o they_o be_v restore_v unto_o he_o when_o he_o begin_v to_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n unto_o heaven_n to_o show_v that_o this_o blessing_n come_v from_o above_o and_o that_o he_o which_o have_v humble_v he_o have_v restore_v he_o again_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v to_o all_o that_o be_v cast_v down_o with_o sickness_n or_o poverty_n or_o infamy_n or_o any_o trouble_n whatsoever_o in_o body_n or_o mind_n he_o which_o have_v humble_v you_o will_v raise_v you_o as_o he_o have_v do_v i_o but_o you_o must_v look_v up_o unto_o heaven_n and_o lift_v up_o your_o heart_n unto_o he_o and_o then_o your_o understanding_n and_o comfort_n and_o wealth_n and_o pleasure_n &_o health_n and_o liberty_n and_o good_a name_n and_o

that_o we_o may_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n that_o be_v see_v we_o must_v needs_o die_v teach_v we_o to_o think_v of_o our_o death_n that_o we_o may_v die_v in_o thy_o fear_n to_o live_v again_o show_v we_o how_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o mortality_n will_v make_v we_o apply_v our_o heart_n to_o godliness_n he_o which_o be_v totter_v himself_o have_v need_n to_o lean_v unto_o a_o stable_a thing_n therefore_o a_o waver_a man_n be_v commend_v here_o to_o constant_a wisdom_n man_n be_v mortal_a wisdom_n be_v immortal_a yet_o by_o wisdom_n man_n become_v immortal_a too_o therefore_o moses_n think_v of_o his_o death_n run_v to_o wisdom_n as_o a_o remedy_n against_o death_n i_o have_v choose_v a_o text_n fit_a for_o the_o time_n year_n which_o warn_v we_o how_o our_o

how_o the_o season_n be_v renew_a at_o last_o with_o they_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o renew_v ourselves_o for_o to_o celebrate_v new_a year_n with_o old_a sin_n be_v to_o let_v every_o thing_n go_v before_o ourselves_o and_o suffer_v the_o time_n to_o condemn_v we_o which_o be_v give_v to_o save_v we_o god_n have_v show_v we_o new_a year_n but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o show_v he_o new_a man_n this_o be_v god_n new_a year_n gift_n 1._o not_o sheep_n nor_o dove_n nor_o fruit_n which_o the_o jew_n offer_v neither_o mirth_n frankincense_n &_o gold_n which_o the_o gentile_n offer_v mat._n 2._o

he_o now_o to_o inform_v we_o what_o prayer_n delight_v god_n the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n and_o the_o four_o verse_n shewe_a that_o he_o have_v the_o

to_o enjoin_v we_o a_o unreasonable_a service_n of_o god_n for_o who_o do_v ever_o pray_v continual_o or_o if_o we_o shall_v pray_v continual_o when_o shall_v we_o hear_v or_o preach_v or_o when_o

not_o mean_v a_o church-prayer_n and_o further_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o appoint_v to_o pray_v at_o all_o time_n for_o they_o have_v set_v time_n of_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o we_o read_v how_o peter_n and_o john_n go_v up_o to_o the_o temple_n at_o the_o time_n of_o prayer_n therefore_o to_o pray_v continual_o be_v to_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n continual_o unto_o god_n 4._o &_o to_o pray_v in_o our_o thought_n as_o moses_n do_v though_o we_o open_v not_o our_o lip_n and_o so_o we_o may_v pray_v continual_o as_o when_o a_o good_a man_n be_v to_o answer_v before_o the_o
