something_o of_o his_o providence_n which_o he_o before_o afford_v they_o but_o he_o will_v not_o whole_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o they_o this_o lead_v i_o in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o inquire_v what_o token_n of_o god_n presence_n and_o influence_n of_o god_n upon_o they_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v experience_v and_o may_v expect_v in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o great_a danger_n and_o

may_v live_v in_o the_o expectation_n of_o they_o i_o will_v instance_n in_o some_o few_o 1._o sometime_o they_o shall_v experience_n the_o divine_a power_n once_o have_v i_o speak_v say_v the_o

as_o to_o the_o exert_n of_o it_o this_o or_o that_o way_n that_o depend_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o god_n man_n do_v not_o necessary_o at_o all_o time_n exert_v that_o power_n which_o be_v at_o all_o time_n in_o he_o and_o natural_a to_o he_o but_o govern_v himself_o by_o his_o reason_n and_o wisdom_n in_o the_o use_n of_o his_o power_n so_o do_v god_n sometime_o he_o be_v please_v not_o to_o show_v forth_o what_o he_o can_v of_o his_o power_n either_o in_o preserve_v his_o people_n from_o the_o hand_n or_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o enemy_n he_o have_v wise_a end_n why_o he_o will_v suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v into_o their_o hand_n and_o to_o be_v overpower_v by_o they_o but_o sometime_o when_o they_o be_v in_o trouble_n they_o shall_v have_v the_o experience_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o destruction_n the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v by_o night_n open_v the_o prison_n door_n and_o let_v out_o the_o apostle_n act_n 5.19_o and_o knock_v

the_o apostle_n band_n shall_v be_v loose_v act_v 16.26_o elijah_n enemy_n shall_v be_v smite_v with_o blindness_n and_o lead_v into_o their_o enemy_n city_n god_n will_v make_v a_o way_n to_o escape_v the_o temptation_n 1_o cor._n 10.13_o god_n will_v sometime_o let_v his_o proud_a enemy_n see_v and_o know_v that_o wherein_o they_o talk_v or_o act_v proud_o he_o will_v be_v above_o they_o this_o particular_a appearance_n of_o god_n be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v but_o what_o god_n have_v former_o do_v and_o do_v still_o in_o some_o particular_a instance_n but_o not_o what_o he_o have_v by_o promise_n tie_v himself_o to_o do_v thus_o the_o child_n in_o egypt_n the_o three_o child_n in_o daniel_n daniel_n himself_o be_v persecute_v but_o not_o forsake_v as_o to_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n for_o they_o 2._o but_o god_n choose_v not_o thus_o at_o all_o time_n to_o make_v his_o power_n glorious_a sometime_o he_o will_v make_v his_o wisdom_n glorious_a they_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v forsake_v as_o to_o his_o power_n his_o arm_n shall_v not_o be_v make_v bare_a for_o they_o but_o they_o shall_v experience_n the_o presence_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o that_o two_o way_n 1_o
