than_o what_o lawful_o may_v be_v do_v for_o see_v that_o deed_n true_o good_a be_v do_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n in_o faith_n and_o to_o his_o glory_n they_o flow_v à_fw-fr deo_fw-la in_o deum_fw-la and_o therefore_o can_v but_o cheer_v up_o the_o soul_n and_o breath_n into_o it_o those_o comfort_n which_o attend_v upon_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o add_v confidence_n to_o our_o address_n unto_o god_n this_o st._n paul_n triumph_v in_o 1.12_o 2_o cor._n 1.12_o and_o when_o man_n be_v silent_a god_n be_v oft_o please_v to_o show_v public_o his_o remembrance_n of_o good_a action_n do_v in_o obedience_n to_o he_o if_o abraham_n put_v a_o knife_n to_o his_o son_n throat_n when_o command_v god_n open_o remember_v it_o and_o promise_v a_o reward_n if_o the_o people_n murmur_n against_o moses_n god_n himself_o will_v vindicate_v he_o he_o be_v faithful_a in_o all_o my_o house_n he_o own_v david_n to_o be_v a_o man_n after_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o proclaim_v job_n to_o be_v a_o perfect_a and_o a_o upright_a man_n and_o he_o tell_v the_o church_n of_o thyatira_n i_o know_v thy_o work_n and_o charity_n and_o service_n and_o faith_n and_o patience_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o this_o kind_n of_o representment_n of_o good_a deed_n to_o god_n infer_v neither_o presumption_n in_o the_o agent_n nor_o merit_n unto_o justification_n for_o a_o deed_n may_v be_v good_a in_o its_o kind_n yet_o not_o meritorious_a and_o a_o good_a man_n may_v rejoice_v in_o the_o testimony_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n without_o arrogance_n or_o boast_n to_o nehemiah_n therefore_o and_o such_o as_o he_o be_v it_o may_v be_v say_v thou_o have_v be_v faithful_a to_o god_n and_o thy_o own_o master_n no_o hazard_n can_v stagger_v thy_o principle_n nor_o the_o potency_n of_o several_a faction_n lessen_v thy_o care_n of_o god_n service_n and_o honour_n the_o whole_a nation_n have_v for_o many_o year_n taste_v of_o the_o sweet_n of_o thy_o government_n and_o the_o revenue_n and_o person_n of_o priest_n shroud_v under_o thy_o protection_n and_o therefore_o however_o man_n may_v be_v affect_v yet_o it_o be_v thy_o comfort_n that_o thou_o have_v a_o infallible_a record_n in_o heaven_n who_o see_v in_o secret_a and_o open_o reward_v to_o he_o thou_o may_v free_o call_v remember_v i_o etc._n etc._n etc._n nehemiah_n clear_v he_o from_o presumption_n by_o be_v to_o be_v spare_v spare_v i_o etc._n etc._n and_o to_o all_o this_o let_v i_o add_v two_o word_n more_o which_o nehemiah_n make_v use_v of_o whole_o to_o clear_v his_o word_n from_o presumption_n thus_o v._n 22._o remember_v i_o and_o spare_v i_o according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o mercy_n god_n spare_v be_v a_o act_n of_o providence_n it_o be_v the_o not_o inflict_v of_o that_o evil_n on_o a_o person_n which_o god_n may_v in_o justice_n or_o power_n send_v down_o it_o be_v sometime_o express_v by_o not_o impute_v by_o cover_v sin_n and_o pardon_v offence_n and_o therefore_o do_v according_a to_o multitude_n of_o mercy_n and_o true_o the_o deformity_n of_o sin_n be_v so_o monstrous_a and_o the_o curse_n which_o attend_v upon_o it_o so_o hideous_a and_o many_o as_o that_o to_o spare_v when_o punishment_n be_v deserve_v to_o forget_v the_o sin_n and_o remember_v the_o sinner_n be_v not_o a_o single_a kindness_n but_o a_o multitude_n of_o mercy_n thus_o you_o see_v nehemiah_n request_n spare_v i_o o_o my_o god_n be_v not_o the_o language_n of_o pride_n nor_o the_o plead_n of_o merit_n it_o be_v no_o pharisaical_a lisp_n but_o the_o groan_n of_o a_o penitent_a god_n be_v merciful_a to_o i_o a_o sinner_n and_o true_o we_o may_v find_v that_o nehemiah_n it_o good_a reason_n for_o it_o though_o never_o so_o godly_a have_v good_a reason_n to_o beg_v for_o a_o spare_v i_o for_o though_o his_o good_a deed_n as_o such_o do_v not_o deserve_v a_o reward_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o as_o such_o subject_n of_o punishment_n however_o he_o have_v reason_n to_o cry_v spare_v i_o for_o 1._o sin_n because_o he_o may_v smart_v for_o the_o people_n sin_n there_o be_v a_o union_n and_o consociation_n betwixt_o the_o magistrate_n and_o people_n and_o we_o oft_o find_v that_o the_o one_o be_v punish_v for_o the_o misdemeanour_n of_o the_o other_o thus_o some_o thousand_o of_o david_n subject_n smart_v for_o his_o sin_n of_o number_v the_o people_n and_o a_o excellent_a josiah_n remove_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o judah_n god_n be_v angry_a with_o moses_n for_o the_o people_n sake_n and_o let_v nehemiah_n be_v as_o just_a and_o as_o innocent_a as_o he_o can_v yet_o he_o may_v suffer_v for_o the_o people_n corruption_n and_o therefore_o in_o prevention_n of_o this_o he_o may_v cry_v spare_v i_o o_o my_o god_n 2._o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o best_a of_o his_o deed_n have_v their_o mixture_n of_o imperfection_n and_o therefore_o be_v conscious_a to_o his_o own_o fail_n he_o beg_v for_o pardon_n and_o

with_o one_o word_n which_o whole_o clear_v his_o prayer_n from_o presumption_n and_o that_o be_v remember_v i_o o_o my_o god_n for_o good_n 1._o for_o good_a this_o be_v the_o voice_n 1._o humility_n

he_o aim_v at_o and_o make_v the_o object_n of_o his_o desire_n and_o this_o he_o look_v for_o there_o only_o where_o it_o can_v be_v have_v from_o his_o god_n to_o he_o he_o cry_v remember_v i_o

as_o well_o as_o nehemiah_n may_v rely_v upon_o it_o especial_o if_o we_o make_v god_n peculiar_o our_o own_o by_o our_o reliance_n and_o faith_n so_o as_o to_o call_v he_o just_o my_o god_n and_o if_o we_o evidence_n out_o faith_n by_o our_o good_a deed_n to_o god_n and_o to_o man_n if_o every_o one_o of_o we_o in_o our_o own_o sphere_n discharge_v our_o duty_n to_o god_n to_o our_o king_n and_o to_o one_o another_o if_o we_o do_v all_o this_o sincere_o and_o constant_o we_o may_v then_o confident_o pray_v with_o good_a nehemiah_n lord_n remember_v i_o we_o may_v then_o be_v assure_v
