and_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o thing_n provoke_v ourselves_o to_o the_o faithful_a obedience_n and_o service_n that_o belong_v to_o god_n let_v we_o mould_n ourselves_o with_o these_o

it_o not_o only_o to_o say_v as_o the_o eye_n of_o servant_n so_o our_o eye_n but_o as_o the_o eye_n of_o child_n to_o their_o parent_n so_o be_v our_o eye_n to_o god_n as_o the_o eye_n of_o subject_n

be_v very_o long_o in_o signification_n they_o be_v so_o long_o that_o they_o reach_v to_o perpetuity_n both_o way_n for_o first_o there_o be_v no_o end_n of_o god_n mercy_n that_o be_v one_o word_n and_o then_o there_o must_v be_v no_o period_n set_v of_o our_o duty_n and_o wait_v until_o he_o have_v mercy_n on_o we_o that_o word_n seem_v to_o be_v as_o long_o as_o the_o other_o indeed_o it_o be_v true_a in_o it_o self_n it_o be_v not_o long_o because_o god_n be_v not_o long_o in_o show_v mercy_n he_o be_v quick_a if_o we_o shall_v wait_v upon_o he_o only_o till_o he_o show_v mercy_n we_o shall_v wait_v now_o and_o no_o long_o we_o shall_v cease_v present_o for_o he_o show_v mercy_n always_o no_o but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v continue_v by_o many_o enlargement_n therefore_o brief_o the_o sum_n of_o both_o word_n be_v this_o in_o one_o word_n the_o word_n mercy_n david_n set_v down_o the_o scope_n at_o which_o every_o christian_a aim_n after_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o shoot_v up_o all_o those_o arrow_n of_o love_n and_o obedience_n and_o fear_v that_o he_o send_v up_o to_o god_n the_o end_n and_o aim_v of_o all_o be_v this_o that_o he_o may_v attain_v mercy_n he_o look_v up_o to_o god_n for_o mercy_n mercy_n that_o be_v of_o a_o large_a signification_n we_o can_v beg_v nothing_o of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o mercy_n if_o a_o man_n be_v disconsolate_a he_o look_v to_o god_n for_o comfort_n if_o there_o be_v a_o doubtful_a heart_n that_o look_v up_o to_o god_n for_o resolution_n if_o there_o be_v a_o blind_a heart_n that_o look_v for_o illumination_n of_o a_o waver_a heart_n that_o look_v for_o stablish_v all_o these_o be_v mercy_n because_o they_o be_v all_o give_v in_o mercy_n every_o good_a thing_n be_v a_o mercy_n because_o it_o be_v give_v in_o mercy_n if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o persecution_n peace_n be_v a_o mercy_n if_o he_o be_v in_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n ease_n be_v a_o mercy_n if_o he_o be_v in_o anguish_n if_o he_o be_v in_o any_o exigent_n deliverance_n be_v a_o mercy_n if_o he_o be_v in_o pang_n of_o conscience_n quiet_a be_v a_o mercy_n all_o be_v mercy_n he_o that_o wait_v on_o god_n for_o mercy_n wait_v for_o every_o good_a thing_n second_o the_o other_o word_n until_o show_v we_o thus_o much_o what_o the_o period_n be_v that_o a_o christian_n set_v himself_o in_o the_o line_n of_o obedience_n it_o have_v the_o same_o period_n that_o donec_fw-la until_o until_o he_o show_v mercy_n shall_v we_o think_v that_o david_n do_v mean_a to_o wait_v on_o god_n until_o he_o have_v mercy_n and_o then_o to_o fix_v his_o eye_n upon_o the_o earth_n again_o no_o much_o more_o then_o therefore_o know_v that_o the_o word_n donec_fw-la in_o scripture_n do_v not_o always_o signify_v a_o determinate_a time_n but_o a_o infinite_a time_n until_o signify_v eternity_n in_o two_o place_n one_o in_o the_o gospel_n joseph_n know_v not_o mary_n until_o she_o have_v bring_v forth_o her_o first_o bear_v son_n not_o then_o nor_o after_o because_o she_o continue_v always_o a_o virgin_n but_o more_o plain_o in_o psal_n 110._o the_o lord_n say_v to_o my_o lord_n sit_v on_o my_o right_a hand_n until_o i_o make_v thy_o enemy_n thy_o footstool_n do_v you_o think_v that_o christ_n shall_v sit_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n no_o long_o then_o till_o all_o thing_n be_v subdue_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o then_o he_o shall_v give_v over_o his_o session_n and_o his_o kingdom_n cease_v god_n forbid_v but_o until_o be_v for_o ever_o so_o here_o our_o eye_n wait_v on_o the_o lord_n till_o he_o have_v mercy_n on_o we_o not_o as_o we_o shall_v make_v a_o cessation_n then_o when_o god_n have_v show_v mercy_n but_o as_o st._n chrysostome_n very_o well_o he_o speak_v not_o only_o for_o a_o short_a time_n as_o long_o as_o god_n show_v mercy_n but_o for_o all_o time_n what_o do_v i_o take_v chrysostome_n hear_v david_n expound_v himself_o psal_n 62._o my_o throat_n be_v dry_a my_o heart_n be_v weary_a my_o eye_n fail_v with_o wait_v he_o look_v on_o god_n so_o long_o till_o his_o eye_n fail_v and_o he_o give_v not_o over_o then_o he_o wait_v still_o a_o christian_a must_v wait_v always_o upon_o god_n so_o that_o word_n have_v both_o a_o inclusive_a and_o a_o exclusive_a force_n so_o shall_v our_o eye_n wait_v on_o the_o lord_n until_o he_o show_v mercy_n that_o be_v if_o he_o do_v show_v mercy_n we_o will_v wait_v or_o if_o he_o do_v not_o if_o he_o send_v it_o speedy_o or_o if_o he_o do_v not_o still_o god_n be_v to_o be_v wait_v on_o we_o now_o if_o god_n do_v not_o send_v mercy_n we_o will_v wait_v on_o he_o with_o contentation_n or_o if_o he_o do_v show_v mercy_n we_o will_v wait_v on_o he_o with_o acknowledgement_n if_o god_n delay_v mercy_n we_o will_v wait_v with_o patience_n if_o he_o speedy_o send_v mercy_n we_o will_v wait_v on_o he_o with_o thankfulness_n we_o will_v wait_v on_o he_o till_o then_o and_o much_o more_o after_z until_o that_o be_v i_o will_v wait_v on_o he_o then_o and_o now_o and_o always_o we_o will_v never_o end_v this_o work_n so_o the_o point_n be_v this_o a●_n true_a christian_a must_v not_o let_v go_v his_o hold_n his_o hope_n his_o confidence_n he_o break_v not_o off_o his_o service_n he_o break_v not_o off_o wait_v upon_o god_n though_o god_n defer_v to_o show_v mercy_n he_o wait_v on_o god_n in_o his_o own_o occasion_n though_o god_n suspend_v and_o seem_v to_o absent_v himself_o he_o wait_v in_o all_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o church_n if_o god_n correct_v he_o wait_v that_o thing_n may_v be_v better_a if_o god_n send_v blessing_n he_o still_o wait_v on_o he_o that_o god_n may_v continue_v the_o mercy_n here_o be_v the_o point_n a_o christian_a must_v not_o give_v over_o wait_v on_o god_n especial_o in_o case_n of_o extremity_n when_o we_o come_v to_o beg_v any_o mercy_n spiritual_a or_o temporal_a of_o god_n if_o god_n bestow_v it_o on_o we_o than_o we_o be_v say_v to_o wait_v till_o then_o because_o
