of_o the_o righteous_a in_o the_o psalm_n 126._o v._n 2._o you_o may_v see_v there_o god_n he_o make_v the_o very_a heathen_a to_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v with_o his_o people_n and_o that_o he_o have_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o they_o then_o say_v they_o among_o the_o heathen_a the_o lord_n have_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o they_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o they_o three_o god_n bring_v glory_n to_o his_o name_n by_o such_o kind_n of_o deliverance_n for_o he_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v the_o sole_a prerogative_n over_o the_o time_n of_o man_n and_o over_o the_o life_n of_o man_n he_o will_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o time_n of_o his_o creature_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o not_o in_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o not_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o enemy_n above_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n god_n be_v say_v to_o keep_v this_o in_o his_o hand_n the_o time_n of_o man_n and_o the_o life_n of_o man_n see_v what_o dani●l_n say_v to_o nabuchadnezzar_n in_o dan._n 5._o 23._o and_o the_o god_n in_o who_o hand_n thy_o breath_n be_v and_o who_o be_v all_o thy_o way_n have_v thou_o not_o glorify_v see_v here_o the_o breath_n that_o be_v in_o man_n nostril_n it_o be_v in_o god_n hand_n and_o he_o can_v withdraw_v it_o when_o he_o please_v thy_o breath_n it_o be_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o he_o will_v dispose_v of_o it_o he_o keep_v it_o in_o his_o hand_n and_o he_o will_v not_o give_v it_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n and_o therefore_o when_o any_o life_n be_v communicate_v to_o any_o creature_n it_o be_v give_v he_o of_o god_n job_n he_o will_v acknowledge_v this_o that_o his_o life_n be_v give_v out_o by_o way_n of_o favour_n and_o free_a grace_n job_n 10._o 12._o thou_o have_v grant_v i_o life_n and_o favour_n see_v here_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v it_o that_o the_o give_v out_o of_o his_o life_n it_o be_v god_n prerogative_n it_o be_v grant_v of_o god_n prince_n they_o grant_v such_o and_o such_o a_o favour_n so_o life_n and_o favour_n be_v grant_v of_o god_n he_o will_v keep_v it_o in_o his_o own_o hand_n he_o will_v not_o make_v any_o lease_n and_o term_n to_o any_o man_n live_v they_o shall_v have_v it_o from_o moment_n to_o moment_n the_o creature_n shall_v have_v their_o life_n from_o moment_n to_o moment_n but_o for_o any_o term_n god_n will_v not_o that_o shall_v be_v at_o his_o own_o dispose_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n have_v exercise_v wrath_n and_o anger_n when_o the_o creature_n have_v go_v about_o to_o make_v this_o their_o prerogative_n to_o promise_v life_n to_o themselves_o and_o grant_v life_n to_o themselves_o you_o know_v what_o be_v say_v of_o the_o fool_n in_o the_o gospel_n when_o he_o have_v be_v very_o prodigal_a he_o will_v make_v many_o promise_n to_o himself_o soul_n say_v he_o thou_o have_v good_n lay_v up_o for_o many_o year_n why_o how_o do_v god_n take_v this_o why_o he_o be_v call_v fool_n for_o his_o labour_n he_o reckon_v without_o the_o landford_n and_o therefore_o god_n he_o come_v and_o turn_v he_o out_o of_o his_o farm_n thou_o fool_n say_v god_n th●●_n night_n shall_v thy_o soul_n be_v take_v from_o thou_o it_o be_v god_n only_a prerogative_n he_o make_v it_o appear_v so_o the_o giving_z out_o of_o life_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o issue_n from_o death_n belong_v to_o god_n see_v that_o place_n in_o the_o 68_o psal_n v._o 20._o it_o be_v our_o god_n that_o be_v the_o god_n of_o salvation_n and_o unto_o the_o lord_n belong_v issue_n from_o death_n issue_n that_o be_v the_o way_n that_o god_n lead_v to_o death_n and_o from_o death_n the_o door_n the_o gate_n of_o death_n both_o to_o and_o fro_o they_o belong_v to_o god_n to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o keep_v the_o door_n behold_v say_v he_o i_o have_v the_o key_n of_o hell_n and_o death_n so_o that_o the_o issue_n to_o death_n belong_v to_o he_o he_o shut_v the_o door_n when_o he_o please_v and_o the_o issue_n of_o death_n belong_v to_o he_o he_o open_v the_o door_n when_o he_o please_v sometime_o a_o man_n have_v this_o conceit_n of_o himself_o well_o i_o be_o bring_v low_a and_o weak_a waste_v and_o decay_v in_o my_o strength_n and_o in_o my_o body_n but_o there_o be_v such_o a_o mean_n as_o will_v sure_o help_v i_o such_o a_o friend_n such_o a_o physician_n they_o will_v certain_o help_v i_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o they_o i_o shall_v despair_v there_o be_v my_o hope_n why_o you_o be_v deceive_v say_v god_n i_o will_v have_v you_o know_v that_o i_o keep_v thou_o door_n of_o life_n and_o the_o issue_n of_o life_n belong_v to_o i_o if_o god_n shut_v the_o door_n of_o life_n man_n can_v get_v back_o again_o notwithstanding_o all_o his_o friend_n again_o sometime_o a_o man_n be_v bring_v low_a that_o friend_n give_v he_o over_o and_o then_o we_o say_v he_o be_v go_v all_o mean_n be_v use_v and_o none_o effectual_a and_o we_o say_v sure_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n for_o he_o to_o come_v

life_n come_v back_o again_o and_o thus_o god_n make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o issue_n of_o life_n belong_v to_o he_o and_o that_o be_v for_o his_o glory_n that_o be_v the_o first_o ground_n of_o
