whereby_o he_o know_v he_o be_v not_o a_o bare_a speculative_a knowledge_n as_o he_o know_v all_o thing_n but_o as_o special_a knowledge_n as_o if_o he_o know_v none_o in_o the_o world_n beside_o as_o

the_o excellency_n of_o faith_n and_o how_o believer_n have_v such_o a_o strong-hold_a shall_v never_o be_v beat_v quite_o out_o of_o heart_n have_v so_o good_a a_o god_n to_o rely_v upon_o for_o

they_o not_o to_o be_v dismay_v but_o still_o have_v cause_n to_o trust_v in_o god_n as_o one_a that_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o instrument_n wicked_a man_n they_o be_v all_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o

still_o he_o keep_v the_o chain_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n that_o he_o nor_o his_o can_v do_v so_o much_o mischief_n as_o otherwise_o they_o will_v 2_o when_o you_o be_v in_o any_o danger_n you_o

god_n but_o the_o more_o you_o know_v he_o the_o more_o apt_a you_o will_v be_v to_o trust_v in_o he_o so_o psal_n 9_o 10._o especial_o if_o it_o be_v a_o experimental_a knowledge_n so_o psal_n 22._o 4._o our_o father_n trust_v in_o thou_o they_o trust_v and_o thou_o do_v deliver_v they_o and_o so_o if_o we_o their_o posterity_n trust_v in_o god_n god_n will_v deliver_v we_o they_o cry_v unto_o thou_o say_v the_o church_n and_o be_v deliver_v they_o trust_v in_o thou_o and_o be_v not_o confound_v so_o doubtless_o if_o we_o cry_v unto_o our_o forefather_n god_n we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v if_o we_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o have_v recourse_n to_o he_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v confound_v but_o confound_v shall_v they_o be_v that_o worship_n carve_v image_n as_o it_o be_v plain_a our_o

do_v well_o but_o what_o be_v it_o that_o we_o must_v know_v of_o god_n more_o especial_o that_o we_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o depend_v upon_o he_o in_o a_o day_n of_o

upon_o your_o spirit_n the_o consideration_n of_o the_o power_n and_o greatness_n of_o god_n therefore_o you_o have_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n wonderful_o set_v out_o in_o the_o forego_n part_n of_o this_o chapter_n for_o god_n will_v not_o employ_v his_o greatness_n against_o his_o people_n but_o for_o his_o people_n good_a as_o also_o you_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o all-sufficiency_n of_o god_n how_o he_o be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a all_o such_o as_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o when_o abraham_n be_v as_o a_o poor_a pilgrim_n and_o go_v

observe_v in_o scripture_n when_o god_n promise_v to_o appear_v in_o the_o way_n of_o save_v and_o deliver_v his_o people_n he_o do_v very_o much_o insist_v on_o this_o what_o a_o powerful_a god_n

and_o a_o arm_n stretch_v out_o in_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o hold_v all_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o to_o measure_v out_o heaven_n which_o be_v locus_fw-la omnium_fw-la

to_o the_o 26_o verse_n there_o he_o call_v upon_o they_o to_o lift_v up_o their_o eye_n and_o to_o behold_v he_o who_o have_v create_v these_o thing_n so_o great_a and_o so_o many_o that_o bring_v
