And so it is with every particular St. of God, they have reasoned from experience of Gods favours from the time past to the time to come: the Psalms are full of it, among the rest Psal. 143. 5. I remembered the days of old, and meditated on all thy works, I mused on the works of thy hands. And in Psalm 116. 3. The sorrows of death (as the Apostle saith here, I was delivered from so great a Death) The sorrows of death compassed me, the pains of Hell took hold on me. I found sorrow and trouble, I cried unto the Lord, O Lord, I beseech thee deliver my soul: The Lord preserveth the simple, I was brought low, and he helped me. What doth he build on that? Return unto thy rest, O my soul: the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee: thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. What will he do for the time to come? I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. Thus we see how we may plead with God as the same Psalmist doth excellently in Psal 71. he goes along with God there from the beginning of his days, in verse 5. ⟨p. 183⟩Thou hast been my hope, Lord, and my trust from my youth, by thee I have been held from the womb, thou tookest me out of my Mothers bowels, my praise shall be continually of thee. What doth he plead from this now when he was old? In verse nine, Cast me not off in the time of my old age, for sake me not when my strength faileth.
