do_v enter_v seven_o spirit_n much_o more_o wicked_a than_o the_o first_o we_o must_v therefore_o patient_o suffer_v and_o persevere_v in_o all_o tentation_n and_o rather_o abide_v all_o extremity_n

whether_o they_o outward_o suffer_v in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o the_o body_n and_o to_o this_o present_a life_n or_o inward_o in_o conscience_n for_o we_o have_v a_o god_n which_o even_o in_o death_n in_o hell_n and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n can_v save_v and_o deliver_v we_o verse_n 4._o do_v well_o o_o lord_n unto_o they_o that_o be_v good_a and_o true_a of_o heart_n the_o

which_o can_v be_v in_o the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o proper_o belong_v to_o the_o wicked_a and_o godless_a this_o sort_n of_o man_n have_v ever_o corrupt_v the_o church_n from_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o with_o a_o show_n of_o holiness_n have_v deceive_v the_o simple_a which_o because_o god_n punish_v they_o not_o but_o spare_v they_o and_o suffer_v they_o to_o prosper_v in_o this_o

the_o wicked_a in_o this_o world_n but_o in_o the_o lord_n floor_n also_o the_o wheat_n lie_v hide_v under_o the_o chasse_n we_o must_v pray_v therefore_o that_o god_n will_v bring_v these_o

etc._n this_o psalm_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n psalm_n the_o argument_n of_o the_o psalm_n in_o the_o former_a he_o give_v thanks_o to_o god_n for_o the_o defence_n and_o continual_a deliverance_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o latter_a part_n he_o make_v his_o prayer_n against_o the_o adversary_n and_o in_o pray_v he_o prophesi_v withal_o both_o these_o serve_v for_o our_o

church_n do_v show_v to_o all_o time_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a life_n of_o man_n moreover_o we_o do_v here_o comprehend_v both_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o of_o the_o gentile_n as_o paul_n also_o in_o a_o manner_n join_v they_o both_o together_o when_o he_o say_v first_o to_o the_o jew_n and_o then_o to_o the_o grecian_a for_o as_o touch_v the_o church_n or_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n it_o appear_v by_o the_o history_n that_o they_o be_v place_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o enemy_n as_o a_o goodly_a rose_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o thornes_n on_o the_o east_n side_n the_o

the_o north_n side_n the_o assyrian_n etc._n etc._n so_o the_o church_n after_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o synagogue_n be_v compass_v every_o way_n with_o enemy_n and_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o psalm_n reign_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o enemy_n thus_o be_v they_o oftentimes_o and_o many_o way_n afflict_v but_o herewithal_o god_n show_v this_o miracle_n that_o when_o they_o be_v so_o afflict_v he_o always_o deliver_v they_o and_o thus_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n a_o miraculous_a kingdom_n in_o that_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o will_v correct_v and_o chastise_v they_o suffer_v the_o philistine_n edomite_n moabite_n assyrian_n and_o babylonian_n to_o have_v victory_n over_o they_o again_o when_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v utter_o oppress_v they_o victorious_o prevail_v against_o their_o enemy_n so_o continue_v this_o kingdom_n in_o despite_n of_o the_o cruel_a nation_n round_o about_o it_o and_o of_o satan_n himself_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o king_n and_o also_o of_o the_o chronicle_n now_o because_o this_o people_n have_v both_o threaten_n and_o promise_n set_v before_o they_o as_o touch_v their_o affliction_n and_o deliverance_n this_o be_v unto_o they_o a_o great_a consolation_n even_o when_o they_o be_v afflict_v and_o spoil_v that_o they_o know_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v not_o by_o the_o will_n or_o power_n of_o their_o enemy_n and_o much-less_a by_o their_o righteousness_n or_o desert_n but_o only_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n thus_o punish_v and_o chastise_v his_o people_n yea_o threaten_v and_o forewarn_v they_o by_o the_o prophet_n that_o he_o will_v so_o punish_v the_o disobedient_a this_o be_v no_o small_a consolation_n that_o in_o thy_o affliction_n and_o calamity_n thou_o may_v be_v able_a to_o say_v this_o be_v the_o scourge_n of_o god_n thus_o correct_v i_o and_o visit_v my_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n or_o the_o merit_n and_o deserve_n of_o my_o adversary_n these_o thing_n must_v we_o apply_v unto_o ourselves_o also_o to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o we_o be_v oppress_v we_o may_v comfort_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v not_o oppress_v by_o the_o power_n of_o death_n sin_n hell_n or_o any_o creature_n but_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n our_o creator_n afflict_v we_o
we_o may_v go_v over_o thou_o have_v lay_v thy_o body_n as_o the_o ground_n and_o as_o the_o street_n to_o they_o that_o go_v over_o these_o affliction_n we_o must_v needs_o suffer_v and_o by_o patience_n overcome_v they_o and_o withal_o we_o must_v beware_v that_o by_o these_o outward_a affliction_n the_o inward_a man_n be_v not_o weaken_v or_o overcome_v rest_v in_o this_o assure_a hope_n and_o trust_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v never_o forsake_v we_o but_o that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n and_o be_v close_v within_o most_o sure_a and_o strong_a hold_n so_o that_o now_o although_o our_o good_n our_o wife_n our_o child_n yea_o and_o our_o life_n also_o be_v take_v from_o we_o yet_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v spoil_v of_o our_o christ_n by_o who_o we_o be_v so_o sure_o defend_v that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o our_o tentation_n he_o will_v make_v a_o way_n for_o we_o to_o escape_v or_o else_o give_v we_o strength_n to_o bear_v they_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o consolation_n the_o holy_a ghost_n set_v forth_o unto_o they_o which_o believe_v the_o word_n for_o unto_o such_o as_o look_v for_o a_o better_a life_n than_o this_o all_o thing_n be_v

of_o the_o flesh_n all_o misery_n shall_v cease_v and_o have_v a_o end_n this_o verse_n therefore_o make_v much_o for_o our_o comfort_n admonish_v we_o that_o we_o must_v suffer_v many_o trouble_n yet_o so_o that_o at_o the_o length_n we_o shall_v be_v safe_a and_o set_v at_o liberty_n from_o they_o all_o though_o not_o in_o this_o life_n yet_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o in_o eternal_a life_n and_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o thus_o bold_o promise_v unto_o ourselves_o remain_v under_o this_o diligent_a custody_n of_o the_o angel_n yea_o of_o the_o lord_n himself_o which_o be_v always_o round_o about_o his_o people_n but_o here_o as_o before_o i_o say_v we_o have_v need_n of_o faith_n that_o we_o may_v judge_v herein_o not_o according_a to_o our_o present_a trouble_n and_o tentation_n but_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o promise_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o need_v any_o promise_n if_o there_o be_v no_o tentation_n which_o tentation_n whether_o they_o be_v within_o in_o the_o spirit_n or_o without_o in_o the_o flesh_n the_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o we_o through_o christ_n shall_v have_v full_a victory_n hereof_o as_o this_o verse_n full_a of_o sweet_a consolation_n do_v promise_n unto_o we_o notwithstanding_o this_o promise_n seem_v incredible_a both_o to_o we_o which_o suffer_v and_o also_o to_o they_o which_o persecute_v and_o afflict_v we_o for_o if_o we_o behold_v the_o same_o with_o our_o outward_a eye_n what_o can_v be_v more_o false_a yea_o the_o contrary_n seem_v to_o be_v most_o true_a behold_v our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v he_o not_o so_o forsake_v hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n that_o the_o rod_n or_o sceptre_n of_o the_o wicked_a rest_v upon_o he_o do_v it_o not_o rest_v likewise_o upon_o the_o prophet_n the_o apostle_n and_o other_o holy_a martyr_n this_o matter_n then_o if_o we_o consider_v it_o with_o our_o outward_a eye_n have_v another_o meaning_n then_o the_o word_n do_v import_v for_o they_o promise_v that_o the_o

back_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o cousel_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n and_o command_v we_o to_o weigh_v and_o consider_v not_o what_o we_o suffer_v and_o with_o our_o outward_a eye_n

and_o prophet_n to_o spring_v of_o the_o first_o precept_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n now_o have_v we_o to_o learn_v how_o we_o may_v apply_v this_o verse_n right_o and_o to_o our_o comfort_n for_o true_a divinity_n consist_v in_o use_n and_o practice_n we_o be_v vex_v on_o every_o side_n with_o cruel_a bishop_n wicked_a prince_n and_o other_o which_o hate_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o
