answer_n oh_o justify_v god_n and_o say_v the_o lord_n be_v holy_a thus_o do_v the_o psalmist_n psalm_n 22._o 3._o but_o thou_o be_v holy_a o_o thou_o that_o inhabite_v the_o praise_n of_o israel_n

labour_n to_o maintain_v good_a thought_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o justify_v not_o to_o charge_n god_n but_o to_o maintain_v good_a thought_n of_o god_n at_o that_o time_n that_o god_n

oh_o this_o be_v a_o bless_a frame_n of_o heart_n and_o how_o please_a will_v it_o be_v to_o god_n to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v good_a and_o that_o he_o be_v gracious_a and_o this_o very_a thing_n it_o be_v for_o good_a for_o the_o good_a of_o my_o soul_n that_o he_o may_v exercise_v faith_n and_o patience_n and_o try_v my_o perseverance_n and_o that_o he_o may_v fit_v i_o for_o mercy_n and_o mercy_n for_o i_o oh_o that_o we_o can_v entertain_v good_a thought_n of_o a_o gracious_a god_n when_o he_o defer_v a_o answer_n four_o mediator_n be_v look_v to_o god_n through_o the_o mediator_n

look_v more_o to_o god_n through_o christ_n and_o there_o rest_n five_o and_o last_o patient_o wait_v patient_o for_o he_o oh_o take_v up_o a_o resolution_n to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n charge_v thy_o own_o heart_n to_o do_v it_o as_o david_n do_v and_o though_o he_o speak_v not_o to_o day_n nor_o to_o morrow_n though_o he_o speak_v not_o this_o month_n this_o year_n not_o in_o this_o

will_v come_v to_o thy_o soul_n know_v it_o be_v thy_o duty_n to_o wait_v take_v hold_v of_o his_o promise_n he_o be_v a_o god_n of_o judgement_n and_o wait_v to_o be_v gracious_a he_o wait_v for_o a_o opportunity_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a thou_o shall_v wait_v it_o be_v good_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v hope_v and_o quiet_o wait_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o lord_n matth._n 15._o 23._o and_o his_o disciple_n come_v and_o beseech_v he_o say_v send_v she_o away_o for_o she_o cry_v after_o we_o sermon_n ix_o christ_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v be_v silent_a to_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o woman_n he_o answer_v she_o not_o a_o word_n whereupon_o the_o disciple_n they_o step_v in_o and_o perform_v a_o office_n and_o duty_n of_o love_n for_o this_o poor_a woman_n they_o step_v in_o and_o they_o plead_v with_o christ_n for_o her_o lord_n send_v she_o away_o for_o she_o cry_v after_o we_o it_o be_v a_o great_a question_n with_o some_o whether_o the_o disciple_n do_v pray_v for_o this_o woman_n here_o or_o no_o some_o think_v that_o they_o do_v not_o make_v any_o request_n for_o she_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o they_o only_o say_v lord_n send_v she_o away_o for_o she_o cry_v after_o we_o lord_n stop_v her_o mouth_n send_v she_o away_o give_v she_o a_o answer_n dispatch_v she_o for_o she_o cry_v after_o we_o and_o this_o be_v do_v say_v they_o that_o so_o the_o trial_n of_o this_o woman_n faith_n may_v be_v the_o great_a but_o i_o rather_o conceive_v that_o the_o disciple_n in_o these_o word_n do_v pray_v for_o she_o they_o do_v perform_v a_o office_n and_o duty_n of_o love_n in_o intercede_v with_o christ_n for_o she_o for_o first_o of_o all_o it_o seem_v they_o be_v very_o earnest_a in_o it_o they_o come_v and_o beseech_v he_o say_v send_v she_o away_o sure_o if_o it_o have_v be_v only_o to_o stop_v her_o mouth_n to_o dispatch_v she_o the_o disciple_n will_v not_o have_v be_v so_o earnest_a with_o christ_n to_o beseech_v he_o good_a nature_n will_v have_v teach_v they_o more_o compassion_n and_o therefore_o grace_n teach_v they_o much_o more_o and_o then_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v affect_v with_o the_o cry_n of_o the_o woman_n she_o cry_v after_o we_o send_v she_o away_o it_o break_v our_o heart_n the_o cry_n that_o she_o make_v thou_o son_n of_o david_n have_v mercy_n on_o i_o and_o three_o it_o be_v clear_a and_o evident_a in_o the_o follow_a verse_n from_o the_o answer_n that_o christ_n give_v upon_o their_o seek_n of_o he_o i_o be_o not_o send_v but_o to_o the_o lose_a sheep_n of_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o disciple_n do_v not_o plead_v with_o christ_n to_o send_v she_o away_o to_o stop_v her_o mouth_n but_o they_o do_v plead_v with_o christ_n though_o not_o mention_v that_o he_o will_v grant_v her_o request_n the_o truth_n than_o which_o the_o word_n hold_v forth_o to_o we_o be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o christ_n disciple_n to_o present_v the_o condition_n of_o other_o unto_o the_o lord_n in_o prayer_n as_o well_o as_o their_o own_o doctrine_n we_o find_v that_o moses_n the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v much_o in_o this_o work_n much_o in_o pray_v for_o other_o and_o intercede_v for_o israel_n upon_o every_o occasion_n he_o step_v in_o and_o plead_v with_o god_n for_o the_o people_n and_o so_o david_n in_o many_o of_o the_o psalm_n he_o present_v the_o condition_n of_o other_o unto_o the_o lord_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o who_o be_v our_o great_a pattern_n be_v much_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n john_n 17._o you_o shall_v ●nd_v there_o that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o time_n that_o christ_n spend_v in_o prayer_n it_o be_v spend_v in_o pray_v for_o other_o there_o be_v but_o one_o petition_n that_o he_o put_v for_o himself_o in_o ver_fw-la 1._o and_o repeat_v again_o in_o ver_fw-la 5._o and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o time_n it_o be_v

lord_n jesus_n make_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o other_o and_o but_o one_o for_o himself_o and_o so_o the_o apostle_n paul_n who_o be_v a_o follower_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v much_o in_o this_o work_n of_o pray_v for_o other_o rom._n 1._o 9_o he_o do_v appeal_v to_o god_n that_o he_o do_v not_o neglect_v this_o duty_n for_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n who_o i_o serve_v with_o my_o spirit_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o his_o son_n that_o without_o cease_v i_o make_v mention_n of_o you_o always_o in_o my_o prayer_n and_o so_o 2_o tim._n 1._o 3_o i_o thank_v god_n who_o i_o serve_v from_o my_o

of_o the_o point_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o first_o who_o they_o be_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v for_o who_o condition_n god_n people_n be_v bind_v to_o remember_v before_o the_o lord_n second_o what_o be_v the_o special_a time_n we_o be_v call_v unto_o this_o duty_n to_o remember_v other_o before_o the_o lord_n if_o you_o ask_v for_o who_o they_o be_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v for_o first_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o have_v do_v we_o wrong_n a_o hard_a lesson_n but_o a_o lesson_n that_o christ_n disciple_n must_v learn_v we_o must_v pray_v for_o those_o that_o have_v do_v we_o wrong_n that_o have_v do_v evil_a and_o speak_v evil_a of_o we_o see_v what_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v mat._n 5._o 44._o but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o love_v your_o enemy_n bless_v they_o that_o curse_v you_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v you_o and_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o despiteful_o use_v you_o and_o persecute_v you_o see_v here_o out_o of_o christ_n own_o mouth_n this_o be_v our_o duty_n if_o we_o be_v christ_n disciple_n we_o must_v pray_v for_o they_o that_o persecute_v we_o and_o despiteful_o use_v we_o we_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o beseech_v the_o lord_n to_o forgive_v they_o thus_o do_v christ_n father_n forgive_v
our_o clear_a manifestation_n of_o his_o love_n to_o other_o then_o to_o he_o it_o will_v say_v the_o lord_n be_v righteous_a and_o do_v i_o no_o wrong_n the_o lord_n be_v a_o free_a agent_n free_a grace_n it_o be_v his_o commodity_n and_o he_o may_v bestow_v it_o where_o he_o please_v and_o i_o have_v receive_v more_o from_o the_o lord_n than_o i_o have_v improve_v i_o have_v have_v more_o than_o i_o have_v be_v thankful_a for_o more_o than_o i_o have_v use_v for_o the_o lord_n honour_n i_o have_v sin_v so_o and_o so_o after_o mercy_n and_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o i_o have_v not_o sin_v away_o all_o my_o comfort_n thus_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v true_o humble_v will_v justify_v the_o lord_n second_o if_o the_o lord_n give_v out_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o spiritual_a gift_n to_o other_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v true_o humble_v it_o will_v justify_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o dispensation_n it_o desire_v to_o say_v as_o john_n baptist_n john_n 3._o 30._o he_o must_v increase_v but_o i_o must_v decrease_v herein_o be_v my_o joy_n fulfil_v it_o desire_v to_o rejoice_v in_o this_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v have_v any_o honour_n by_o other_o though_o it_o look_v upon_o himself_o and_o see_v it_o be_v a_o barren_a wilderness_n other_o green_a tree_n see_v other_o flourish_v like_o the_o palm_n tree_n and_o bring_v forth_o much_o fruit_n although_o a_o gracious_a heart_n see_v cause_n to_o be_v humble_v and_o judge_v itself_o for_o not_o follow_v on_o to_o know_v the_o lord_n for_o it_o be_v not_o follow_v on_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n for_o such_o enjoyment_n yet_o it_o also_o desire_v to_o justify_v the_o lord_n not_o to_o complain_v if_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v out_o more_o to_o other_o then_o to_o he_o it_o know_v in_o this_o also_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o free_a agent_n and_o he_o may_v dispose_v of_o his_o gift_n where_o and_o to_o who_o he_o please_v three_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v out_o a_o great_a share_n of_o temporal_a mercy_n to_o other_o then_o to_o he_o a_o great_a estate_n more_o riches_n more_o honour_n more_o friend_n and_o relation_n still_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v true_o humble_v it_o will_v justify_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o dispensation_n it_o will_v say_v i_o have_v receive_v more_o than_o i_o be_o worthy_a of_o i_o be_o less_o than_o the_o least_o of_o all_o thy_o mercy_n i_o have_v more_o than_o i_o have_v use_v for_o god_n honour_n this_o be_v the_o portion_n that_o the_o lord_n see_v good_a for_o i_o the_o lord_n see_v what_o a_o naughty_a heart_n i_o have_v i_o be_o ensnare_v with_o that_o little_a that_o i_o have_v it_o be_v a_o snare_n to_o i_o therefore_o sure_o the_o lord_n in_o mercy_n have_v deny_v much_o to_o i_o lest_o my_o heart_n shall_v be_v ensnare_v and_o therefore_o in_o this_o dispensation_n it_o will_v also_o justify_v the_o lord_n four_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v lay_v great_a affliction_n upon_o he_o then_o upon_o other_o in_o this_o dispensation_n the_o soul_n that_o be_v true_o humble_a will_v justify_v the_o lord_n so_o it_o be_v with_o job_n job_n he_o be_v great_o afflict_v not_o any_o man_n live_v meet_v with_o so_o much_o as_o job_n do_v yet_o in_o job_n 1._o 20_o 21._o he_o fall_v down_o and_o justify_v the_o lord_n then_o job_n arise_v and_o rend_v his_o mantle_n and_o shave_v his_o head_n and_o fall_v down_o on_o the_o ground_n and_o worship_v and_o say_v naked_a come_v i_o out_o of_o my_o mother_n womb_n and_o naked_a shall_v i_o return_v thither_o the_o lord_n give_v and_o the_o lord_n have_v take_v away_o bless_a be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n see_v here_o what_o argument_n he_o find_v to_o clear_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o dispensation_n though_o his_o affliction_n be_v very_o great_a he_o fall_v down_o and_o bless_v the_o lord_n and_o at_o v_o 22._o it_o be_v say_v in_o all_o this_o job_n sin_v not_o nor_o charge_v god_n foolish_o and_o so_o aaron_n the_o high_a priest_n when_o the_o lord_n smite_v his_o two_o son_n that_o they_o die_v it_o be_v say_v aaron_n hold_v his_o peace_n leu._n 10._o 1_o 2_o 3._o and_o nada●_n and_o abi●u_n the_o son_n of_o aaron_n take_v eit_n of_o they_o his_o

lord_n but_o be_v silent_a and_o justify_v the_o lord_n and_o so_o david_n in_o psal_n 39_o when_o there_o be_v some_o sore_a hand_n of_o god_n upon_o he_o so_o that_o he_o cry_v out_o i_o be_o consume_v by_o thy_o rebuke_n some_o affliction_n that_o do_v even_o eat_v he_o up_o and_o consume_v he_o yet_o he_o justify_v the_o lord_n verse_n 9_o i_o be_v dumb_a i_o open_v not_o my_o mouth_n

lord_n when_o the_o lord_n seem_v to_o shut_v out_o his_o prayer_n it_o call_v and_o cry_n and_o wait_v and_o yet_o the_o lord_n give_v out_o no_o answer_n o_o how_o hard_o a_o matter_n be_v it_o for_o a_o unhumbled_a heart_n to_o bear_v this_o wherefore_o have_v we_o fast_v say_v they_o and_o thou_o see_v not_o wherefore_o have_v we_o afflict_v our_o soul_n and_o thou_o take_v no_o

humble_v it_o will_v wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n though_o the_o lord_n give_v not_o out_o a_o present_a answer_n yea_o it_o will_v study_v answer_n to_o clear_v the_o lord_n the_o lord_n be_v righteous_a and_o it_o be_v for_o gracious_a end_n that_o the_o lord_n defer_v to_o hear_v or_o the_o mercy_n be_v not_o ripe_a or_o i_o be_o not_o fit_a for_o the_o mercy_n it_o be_v mercy_n that_o

still_o the_o lord_n be_v gracious_a in_o that_o i_o have_v opportunity_n to_o wait_v upon_o he_o thus_o a_o soul_n true_o humble_v will_v justify_v the_o lord_n when_o the_o lord_n seem_v to_o shut_v out_o his_o prayer_n six_o and_o las_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v true_o humble_v will_v justify_v the_o lord_n when_o the_o lord_n shall_v lay_v he_o aside_o as_o one_o that_o be_v useless_a when_o the_o lord_n shall_v make_v no_o more_o use_n of_o he_o in_o his_o work_n and_o service_n but_o shall_v take_v he_o off_o from_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n sometime_o deal_v so_o with_o his_o own_o people_n yet_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v true_o humble_v it_o will_v justify_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o also_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o submit_v unto_o it_o but_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v put_v into_o a_o right_n humble_a frame_n it_o will_v submit_v and_o justify_v the_o lord_n and_o so_o do_v moses_n and_o aaron_n the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n tell_v they_o that_o he_o will_v lay_v they_o aside_o god_n call_v to_o moses_n and_o aaron_n and_o tell_v aaron_n that_o he_o must_v be_v high_a priest_n no_o long_o command_v moses_n to_o strip_v aaron_n of_o

the_o lord_n both_o in_o his_o say_n and_o do_n when_o god_n shall_v speak_v against_o he_o and_o discover_v his_o vileness_n and_o sin_n it_o will_v say_v truth_n lord_n or_o when_o god_n shall_v threaten_v most_o severe_o nay_o when_o god_n shall_v walk_v in_o those_o way_n that_o be_v hard_a to_o bear_v yet_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v true_o humble_v desire_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o justify_v the_o lord_n and_o second_o when_o god_n shall_v not_o only_o speak_v himself_o but_o when_o god_n shall_v make_v use_n of_o man_n yea_o wicked_a man_n and_o shall_v set_v they_o to_o speak_v against_o it_o when_o god_n shall_v set_v they_o to_o revile_v and_o set_v they_o to_o act_v against_o it_o to_o persecute_v it_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v true_o humble_v it_o will_v justify_v the_o lord_n in_o that_o dispensation_n so_o do_v david_n 2_o sam._n 16._o 7_o 8._o and_o thus_o say_v shimei_n wheu_o he_o curse_a come_v out_o come_v out_o thou_o bloody_a man_n and_o thou_o man_n of_o belial_n the_o lord_n have_v return_v upon_o thou_o all_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o house_n of_o saul_n in_o who_o stead_n thou_o have_v reign_v and_o the_o lord_n have_v deliver_v the_o kingdom_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o absalon_n thy_o son_n and_o behold_v thou_o be_v take_v to_o thy_o mischief_n because_o thou_o be_v a_o bloody_a man_n shimei_n he_o come_v and_o rail_v against_o david_n it_o be_v a_o great_a indignity_n that_o be_v do_v against_o david_n by_o that_o rail_a wretch_n and_o he_o take_v up_o stone_n and_o cast_v at_o the_o king_n at_o verse_n 6._o and_o it_o be_v when_o david_n be_v in_o distress_n he_o be_v drive_v out_o by_o absalon_n from_o jerusalem_n he_o take_v that_o advantage_n he_o come_v and_o rail_v and_o call_v he_o the_o bloody_a man_n and_o say_v he_o the_o lord_n have_v now_o avenge_v the_o blood_n of_o thy_o master_n house_n upon_o thou_o yet_o david_n at_o this_o time_n justify_v the_o lord_n verse_n 10._o so_o let_v he_o curse_v because_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v unto_o he_o curse_n david_n who_o shall_v then_o say_v wherefore_o have_v thou_o do_v so_o see_v here_o how_o david_n justify_v the_o lord_n though_o that_o which_o this_o raise_n man_n do_v object_n against_o david_n be_v false_a he_o call_v he_o a_o bloody_a man_n in_o respect_n of_o saul_n house_n david_n be_v clear_a in_o that_o and_o innocent_a yet_o david_n he_o lay_v it_o to_o heart_n and_o conclude_v that_o god_n have_v some_o design_n in_o it_o though_o in_o respect_n of_o saul_n house_n i_o be_o not_o a_o bloody_a man_n yet_o i_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o vriah_n david_n he_o be_v silent_a the_o lord_n have_v bid_v he_o curse_n david_n and_o therefore_o david_n use_v many_o argument_n for_o to_o justify_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o quiet_v his_o own_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o other_o as_o you_o may_v see_v vers_n 11_o 12._o and_o david_n say_v to_o abishai_n and_o to_o all_o his_o servant_n behold_v my_o son_n which_o come_v forth_o of_o my_o bowel_n seek_v my_o life_n how_o much_o more_o now_o may_v this_o btnj_n amite_n do_v it_o let_v he_o alone_o and_o let_v he_o curse_v for_o the_o lord_n have_v bid_v he_o verse_n 12._o it_o may_v be_v the_o lord_n will_v look_v on_o my_o affliction_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v requite_v good_a for_o his_o curse_v this_o day_n and_o so_o david_n in_o patience_n do_v possess_v his_o soul_n and_o justify_v the_o lord_n in_o that_o dispensation_n a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o application_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v conclude_v first_o of_o all_o 1_o this_o call_v upon_o we_o to_o be_v more_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o duty_n o_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v help_v all_o his_o people_n to_o learn_v this_o lesson_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a lesson_n we_o have_v need_n look_v up_o to_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v teach_v we_o to_o justify_v the_o lord_n when_o he_o speak_v and_o act_n against_o we_o when_o he_o speak_v himself_o or_o when_o he_o suffer_v man_n to_o speak_v against_o we_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v to_o justify_v the_o lord_n as_o this_o woman_n of_o canaan_n do_v and_o as_o those_o in_o micah_n 7._o do_o i_o will_v bear_v the_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o o_o that_o we_o can_v make_v those_o holy_a man_n our_o pattern_n that_o we_o hear_v speak_v of_o before_o look_v upon_o moses_n upon_o aaron_n upon_o david_n upon_o hezekiah_n upon_o job_n upon_o good_a old_a eli_n upon_o this_o woman_n of_o canaan_n o_o how_o do_v they_o justify_v the_o lord_n when_o the_o lord_n speak_v hard_a thing_n and_o stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n in_o a_o way_n of_o sore_a affliction_n still_o we_o find_v they_o justify_v the_o lord_n and_o o_o that_o we_o can_v look_v upon_o they_o as_o our_o pattern_n to_o persuade_v we_o to_o this_o duty_n lord_n first_o of_o all_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o speak_v it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o act_n whenever_o there_o be_v any_o affliction_n upon_o we_o it_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o it_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n and_o from_o the_o lord_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o justify_v he_o that_o be_v a_o prevail_a argument_n with_o good_a old_a eli_n when_o as_o those_o terrible_a threaten_n come_v to_o his_o ear_n that_o god_n will_v do_v that_o against_o his_o house_n at_o which_o both_o the_o ear_n of_o every_o one_o that_o hear_v it_o shall_v tingle_v and_o that_o the_o iniquity_n of_o eli_n house_n shall_v not_o be_v purge_v away_o with_o sacrifice_n nor_o offer_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n say_v he_o let_v he_o do_v what_o seem_v he_o good_a he_o have_v power_n over_o all_o creature_n as_o the_o potter_n have_v power_n over_o the_o clay_n and_o say_v david_n i_o be_v dumb_a i_o open_v not_o my_o mouth_n because_o thou_o do_v it_o second_o consider_v that_o all_o that_o god_n speak_v and_o do_v be_v god_n and_o if_o so_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o justify_v the_o lord_n you_o know_v what_o hezekiah_n say_v 2_o king_n 20._o 19_o good_a be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n a_o hard_a word_n it_o be_v that_o all_o his_o treasure_n shall_v be_v

seem_v to_o be_v never_o so_o hard_a yet_o there_o be_v some_o good_a in_o all_o that_o he_o speak_v and_o do_v and_o the_o lord_n do_v it_o for_o good_a do_v not_o thy_o word_n do_v good_a every_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v good_a and_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o be_v his_o child_n though_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a word_n yet_o all_o god_n word_n and_o all_o god_n way_n shall_v work_v together_o for_o good_a he_o will_v bring_v good_a out_o of_o they_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v submit_v to_o god_n and_o justify_v the_o lord_n in_o that_o dispensation_n three_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v mercy_n in_o every_o dispensation_n and_o that_o god_n do_v afflict_v less_o than_o the_o sin_n deserve_v though_o the_o affliction_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v hard_a true_o if_o we_o look_v into_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o way_n we_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v that_o which_o may_v provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o afflict_v seven_o time_n more_o the_o church_n in_o the_o lamentation_n when_o she_o come_v to_o consider_v how_o she_o have_v provoke_v the_o lord_n though_o before_o she_o have_v cry_v out_o bitter_o of_o her_o wormwood_n and_o gall_n yet_o in_o lam._n 3._o 22._o it_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n mercy_n that_o we_o be_v not_o consume_v because_o his_o compassion_n fail_v not_o we_o have_v provoke_v the_o lord_n great_o and_o it_o be_v mercy_n that_o we_o be_v not_o
