for_o himself_o wherefore_o as_o in_o a_o balance_n if_o there_o be_v any_o odds_n in_o the_o s●ales_n we_o take_v out_o of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o heavy_a and_o put_v it_o into_o that_o which_o be_v the_o light_a till_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o so_o here_o we_o must_v weigh_v these_o matter_n well_o that_o we_o ourselves_o may_v be_v just_a weight_n neither_o too_o heavy_a for_o our_o own_o misery_n not_o too_o light_a for_o christ_n mercy_n thus_o do_v david_n when_o he_o say_v to_o god_n hide_v i_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o thy_o wing_n what_o be_v god_n wing_n his_o mercy_n and_o his_o justice._n what_o be_v the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n our_o love_n and_o our_o fear_n our_o love_n be_v the_o shadow_n of_o his_o mercy_n which_o be_v his_o right_a wing_n our_o fear_n be_v the_o shadow_n of_o his_o justice_n which_o be_v his_o left_a wing_n now_o see_v he_o that_o be_v hide_v under_o the_o right_a wing_n only_o may_v presume_v because_o he_o have_v no_o fear_n and_o he_o that_o be_v hide_v under_o the_o left_a wing_n only_o may_v despair_v because_o he_o have_v no_o love_n therefore_o say_v david_n hide_v i_o o_o lord_n under_o the_o shadow_n not_o of_o one_o wing_n but_o of_o both_o thy_o wing_n that_o i_o may_v never_o despair_v while_o i_o always_o love_v thy_o mercy_n and_o rejoice_v for_o christ_n that_o i_o may_v never_o presume_v while_o i_o always_o fear_v thy_o justice_n and_o weep_v for_o myself_o a_o quail_n the_o very_a same_o bird_n which_o be_v the_o israelite_n meat_n in_o the_o wilderness_n as_o he_o fly_v over_o the_o sea_n feel_v himself_o begin_v to_o be_v weary_a light_n by_o the_o way_n into_o the_o sea_n then_o lie_v at_o one_o side_n he_o lay_v down_o one_o wing_n upon_o the_o water_n and_o hold_v up_o the_o other_o wing_n towards_o heaven_n lest_o he_o shall_v presume_v to_o take_v too_o long_o a_o flight_n at_o the_o first_o he_o we●s_v one_o wing_n lest_o he_o shall_v despair_v of_o take_v a_o new_a flight_n afterward_o he_o keep_v the_o other_o wing_n dry_a thus_o must_v a_o christian_a man_n do_v when_o he_o lay_v down_o the_o wing_n of_o fear_n upon_o the_o water_n to_o weep_v for_o himself_o than_o he_o must_v hold_v up_o the_o wing_n of_o love_n towards_o heaven_n to_o rejoice_v for_o christ._n that_o his_o two_o wing_n may_v be_v answerable_a to_o god_n two_o wing_n that_o as_o god_n have_v two_o wing_n the_o one_o of_o mercy_n the_o other_o of_o justice_n so_o he_o may_v have_v two_o wing_n the_o one_o of_o joy_n for_o christ_n the_o other_o of_o sorrow_n for_o himself_o sem_fw-mi &_o i●pheth_n noah_n godly_a and_o dutiful_a child_n when_o they_o see_v their_o father_n otherwise_o then_o he_o shall_v be_v go_v backward_o and_o cover_v he_o they_o go_v

the_o outcast_n of_o the_o people_n therefore_o we_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n must_v go_v backward_o by_o abhor_v they_o that_o crucify_v christ_n and_o yet_o we_o must_v cover_v he_o and_o hide_v he_o even_o in_o our_o very_a heart_n by_o remember_v and_o honour_v his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n lest_o we_o shall_v presume_v we_o must_v go_v backward_o for_o fear_n and_o yet_o lest_o we_o shall_v despair_v we_o must_v cover_v he_o for_o love_n that_o as_o god_n hide_v we_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n which_o be_v love_n and_o fear_n love_v the_o shadow_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o fear_v the_o shadow_n of_o his_o justice_n so_o we_o may_v hide_v god_n under_o the_o shadow_n of_o our_o wing_n which_o be_v joy_n and_o sorrow_n joy_n the_o shadow_n of_o our_o love_n and_o sorrow_n the_o shadow_n of_o our_o fear_n joy_n for_o christ_n and_o sorrow_n for_o ourselves_o to_o this_o strange_a kind_n of_o go_v backward_o the_o psalmist_n allude_v when_o he_o
