First, The supplement is made thus; He would produce arguments or reasons against me; and this is conceived most suitable to the context, and scope of the place, as also to the action of pleading before spoken of;1 would he plead with or against me with his great power, no, but he would show me the reason of his dealings with me; he would not proceed against me in a martial but in a legal way, not in a prerogative but in a discursive argumentative way: he would show me the cause why he thus contendeth with me, and hath so sorely afflicted me. God would condescend so far to my weakness as to give me an account, though I dare not presume to call him to an account; and though he hath both power ⟨p. 344⟩and right to deal with me as he pleaseth, yet I am much assured that he would be pleased to tell me why he deals thus with me. This interpretation is clear to the general scope of the context, and argues nothing unbecoming that holy confidence which the Grace of the Gospel, alloweth, a believer in, yea encourageth him unto, when in any distress he approacheth unto God for the relief and comfort of his troubled Spirit.
