thou_o be_v turn_v unto_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a thy_o ear_n shall_v hear_v a_o voice_n behind_o thou_o crying_z this_o be_v the_o way_n walk_v in_o it_o and_o it_o may_v be_v clear_a that_o our_o conviction_n be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o promise_n because_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o comforter_n as_o well_o to_o convince_v john_n 16.9_o as_o it_o be_v for_o he_o to_o make_v one_o rejoice_v and_o if_o a_o christian_a can_v believe_v that_o his_o challenge_n be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o a_o promise_n he_o may_v embrace_v his_o challenge_n he_o may_v see_v

christian_a meet_v with_o such_o affliction_n he_o may_v sit_v down_o and_o cry_v out_o this_o be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o a_o promise_n and_o this_o be_v clear_a from_o psal._n 89_o 31_o 32._o wherein_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o ●he_n covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o promise_n of_o visit_v their_o iniquity_n with_o rod●_n be_v put_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o they_o and_o from_o psal._n 119.77_o in_o faithfulness_n have_v thou_o afflict_v i_o why_o do_v david_n say_v in_o faithfulness_n it_o be_v this_o because_o his_o cross_n be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o a_o promise_n and_o it_o may_v be_v clear_a also_o from_o that_o word_n heb._n 12.7_o forget_v not_o the_o exhortation_n speak_v of_o the_o cross_n the_o word_n be_v forget_v not_o the_o consolation_n that_o speak_v unto_o you_o as_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v say_v crosses_z do_v yield_v much_o consolation_n as_o in_o vers_n 11._o they_o yield_v the_o peaceable_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n and_o if_o this_o be_v believe_v that_o our_o cross_n be_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o promise_n it_o will_v help_v a_o christian_a unto_o much_o humble_a submission_n and_o there_o will_v not_o

sweet_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n under_o a_o cross_n so_o much_o as_o impatiency_n and_o i_o will_v say_v this_o to_o commend_v the_o cross_n a_o christian_a never_o move_v so_o swift_o to_o heaven_n as_o when_o he_o be_v under_o a_o sanctify_a cross_n a_o cross_n when_o it_o be_v sanctify_v will_v prove_v a_o christian_n motion_n to_o heaven_n more_o than_o ten_o enjoyment_n for_o our_o

and_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o delay_n be_v these_o 1._o christ_n know_v that_o a_o christian_n can_v often_o better_a improve_v the_o delay_n of_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o promise_n than_o he_o can_v improve_v the_o accomplishment_n itself_o we_o may_v find_v this_o in_o our_o experience_n it_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n easy_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o bear_v his_o cross_n then_o to_o bear_v his_o enjoyment_n i_o think_v david_n never_o have_v so_o sweet_a a_o time_n as_o then_o when_o he_o be_v pursue_v as_o a_o partridge_n by_o his_o son_n absalon_n then_o grace_n do_v breath_n forth_o most_o sweet_o in_o his_o action_n but_o let_v david_n be_v under_o prosperity_n and_o then_o we_o see_v he_o fall_v in_o the_o sin_n of_o adultery_n and_o therefore_o never_o repine_v when_o you_o be_v under_o a_o cross_n for_o certain_o if_o we_o have_v spiritual_a understanding_n we_o will_v not_o judge_v it_o so_o great_a a_o hazard_n to_o be_v under_o a_o cross_n as_o under_o prosperity_n since_o we_o have_v great_a strength_n to_o bear_v the_o one_o then_o to_o endure_v the_o other_o 2._o the_o slothfulness_n of_o a_o christian_a ●o_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v

christian_n to_o believe_v upon_o a_o word_n when_o it_o be_v delay_v in_o its_o accomplishment_n the_o four_o ground_n of_o delay_n be_v that_o the_o exercise_n of_o prayer_n may_v be_v more_o and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o best_a improvement_n of_o delay_n be_v to_o be_v much_o in_o prayer_n the_o promise_n they_o do_v occasion_n prayer_n as_o be_v clear_a from_o exod._n 4._o last_o they_o believe_v and_o bow_v down_o their_o head_n and_o worship_v and_o from_o 2_o sam._n 7.27_o where_o the_o great_a promise_n be_v make_v to_o david_n he_o cry_v out_o therefore_o have_v i_o find_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o pray_v this_o prayer_n unto_o god_n and_o it_o be_v clear_a from_o psal._n 119.49_o perform_v the_o word_n unto_o thy_o servant_n upon_o which_o thou_o have_v cause_v i_o to_o hope_v it_o be_v a_o bad_a improvement_n of_o delay_n when_o we_o turn_v impatient_a and_o it_o be_v a_o bad_a improvement_n of_o delay_n when_o we_o quite_o our_o confidence_n know_v that_o promise_n be_v accomplish_v after_o delay_n and_o they_o have_v a_o lustre_n upon_o they_o that_o may_v compence_v all_o the_o delay_n 5._o there_o be_v this_o other_o ground_n of_o the_o delay_n of_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o promise_n even_o that_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v promise_v may_v be_v more_o sweet_a to_o a_o christian_a when_o it_o come_v this_o be_v clear_a from_o that_o word_n of_o

do_v not_o drive_v a_o christian_a unto_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o throne_n we_o will_v seldom_o go_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o love_n or_o from_o a_o principle_n of_o faith_n and_o there_o be_v
