to_o his_o church_n in_o deliver_v it_o from_o a_o great_a danger_n the_o danger_n be_v make_v much_o the_o great_a by_o these_o three_o circumstance_n of_o it_o first_o that_o it_o be_v secret_a second_o that_o it_o be_v near_o and_o three_o like_a to_o have_v be_v fatal_a first_o that_o it_o be_v secret_a and_o hidden_n that_o be_v a_o terrible_a circumstance_n indeed_o especial_o of_o any_o great_a danger_n be_v it_o never_o so_o great_a what_o one_o see_v he_o may_v find_v one_o way_n or_o other_o to_o avoid_v he_o may_v so_o order_v thing_n by_o good_a take_v heed_n that_o either_o it_o shall_v not_o come_v upon_o he_o or_o if_o it_o do_v it_o shall_v do_v he_o no_o hurt_n he_o may_v break_v the_o force_n of_o it_o he_o may_v at_o least_o so_o compound_v that_o it_o shall_v do_v he_o as_o little_a hurt_n as_o be_v possible_a but_o there_o be_v no_o compound_v with_o he_o know_v not_o what_o nor_o who_o there_o be_v no_o ward_n off_o a_o blow_n which_o one_o can_v foresee_v it_o be_v upon_o he_o before_o he_o be_v aware_a of_o it_o such_o a_o danger_n come_v over_o one_o like_o a_o net_n and_o such_o be_v our_o psalmist_n say_v he_o they_o have_v prepare_v a_o net_n for_o my_o step_n second_o he_o be_v near_o step_v into_o the_o net_n so_o i_o understand_v these_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d my_o soul_n i._n e._n i_o myself_o be_v bow_v down_o i_o be_v just_a drop_v into_o it_o that_o be_v another_o terrible_a circumstance_n it_o be_v terrible_a indeed_o in_o case_n of_o any_o great_a danger_n for_o the_o nearness_n of_o it_o lessen_v the_o hope_n of_o escape_v there_o be_v more_o hope_n of_o any_o danger_n while_o it_o be_v yet_o afar_o off_o that_o either_o it_o may_v not_o come_v at_o we_o as_o thing_n may_v happen_v or_o however_o it_o will_v not_o come_v present_o it_o may_v be_v not_o till_o one_o be_v provide_v against_o it_o but_o if_o the_o danger_n be_v so_o near_o that_o it_o do_v not_o give_v he_o time_n than_o he_o can_v provide_v against_o it_o he_o must_v take_v what_o come_v he_o can_v help_v it_o he_o must_v suffer_v both_o that_o and_o all_o the_o consequence_n of_o it_o but_o three_o than_o his_o hope_n be_v that_o whatsoever_o he_o suffer_v it_o may_v not_o be_v his_o utter_a destruction_n his_o hope_n be_v that_o at_o least_o he_o may_v live_v after_o it_o and_o if_o so_o what_o he_o lose_v now_o he_o may_v recover_v at_o another_o time_n so_o the_o church_n say_v mic._n 7._o 8._o rejoice_v not_o against_o i_o oh_o my_o enemy_n though_o i_o fall_v i_o shall_v rise_v so_o one_o may_v hope_v to_o do_v if_o he_o fall_v upon_o plain_a ground_n but_o this_o be_v the_o worst_a of_o david_n case_n that_o his_o enemy_n have_v dug_n a_o pit_n for_o he_o and_o he_o that_o fall_v into_o a_o pit_n be_v either_o kill_v or_o sore_a hurt_n and_o so_o disable_v that_o he_o can_v get_v out_o especial_o when_o there_o be_v a_o net_n to_o hold_v he_o there_o than_o he_o be_v lose_v to_o all_o hope_n where_o he_o fall_v there_o he_o lie_v without_o remedy_n now_o for_o god_n mercy_n in_o his_o deliverance_n that_o follow_v and_o of_o this_o likewise_o there_o be_v three_o degree_n the_o first_o be_v not_o mention_v but_o suppose_v that_o through_o god_n mercy_n he_o escape_v both_o the_o net_n and_o the_o pit._n in_o any_o great_a danger_n if_o one_o escape_n and_o no_o more_o that_o alone_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n of_o god._n but_o second_o here_o be_v not_o only_o that_o mercy_n in_o david_n case_n but_o here_o be_v also_o a_o act_n of_o god_n justice_n upon_o his_o enemy_n what_o be_v more_o just_a than_o this_o that_o every_o one_o shall_v eat_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o own_o do_n that_o mischief_n shall_v light_v on_o the_o head_n in_o which_o it_o be_v contrive_v that_o they_o that_o dig_v pit_n for_o other_o shall_v fall_v into_o they_o themselves_o thus_o david_n tell_v we_o it_o happen_v to_o his_o enemy_n and_o when_o it_o do_v so_o if_o they_o have_v any_o sense_n in_o they_o they_o can_v not_o but_o acknowledge_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o justice_n in_o this_o but_o three_o to_o make_v a_o deliverance_n perfect_a it_o must_v be_v such_o as_o david_n pray_v for_o psalm_n 141._o 10._o that_o his_o enemy_n may_v fall_v into_o their_o own_o net_n and_o that_o he_o may_v ever_o escape_v they_o they_o that_o be_v so_o deliver_v from_o their_o enemy_n have_v reason_n to_o hope_v that_o they_o shall_v

necessary_a either_o to_o finish_v their_o work_n or_o to_o justify_v it_o when_o it_o be_v do_v this_o advantage_n they_o have_v by_o their_o secrecy_n and_o profound_a dissimulation_n to_o make_v themselves_o unsuspected_a and_o trust_v and_o so_o to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o can_v not_o so_o well_o have_v do_v otherwise_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o come_v so_o very_a near_o the_o effect_n of_o their_o design_n which_o i_o note_v as_o a_o second_o degree_n of_o our_o danger_n we_o be_v as_o near_o be_v catch_v as_o david_n be_v in_o the_o case_n which_o he_o describe_v the_o trap_n be_v lay_v for_o he_o and_o he_o bow_v down_o to_o it_o he_o be_v just_a fall_v in_o when_o he_o see_v a_o pit_n ready_a to_o receive_v he_o even_o ready_a to_o swallow_v he_o up_o this_o be_v
