such_o a_o way_n of_o own_v of_o god_n and_o be_v own_v by_o he_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v also_o never_o a_o people_n form_v for_o such_o a_o purpose_n so_o call_v if_o it_o be_v time_n to_o compare_v your_o stand_n with_o those_o that_o have_v be_v call_v by_o the_o suffrage_n of_o the_o people_n who_o can_v tell_v how_o soon_o god_n may_v fit_v the_o people_n for_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o who_o will_v desire_v any_o thing_n more_o in_o the_o world_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o i_o will_v all_o the_o lord_n people_n be_v prophet_n i_o will_v they_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v

know_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n what_o be_v there_o like_a to_o win_v the_o people_n to_o the_o interest_n and_o love_n of_o god_n nay_o what_o a_o duty_n will_v lie_v upon_o you_o to_o have_v your_o conversation_n such_o as_o that_o they_o may_v love_v you_o that_o they_o may_v see_v you_o lay_v out_o your_o time_n and_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v not_o this_o the_o most_o likely_a way_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o their_o liberty_n and_o do_v you_o not_o by_o this_o put_v it_o upon_o god_n to_o find_v the_o time_n and_o the_o season_n for_o it_o by_o pour_v forth_o his_o spirit_n at_o

in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o take_v care_n to_o administer_v good_a unto_o they_o but_o this_o be_v some_o digression_n i_o say_v own_o your_o call_n for_o indeed_o it_o be_v marvellous_a and_o it_o be_v of_o god_n and_o it_o have_v be_v unproject_v unthought_a of_o by_o you_o and_o we_o and_o that_o have_v be_v the_o way_n god_n have_v deal_v with_o we_o all_o along_o to_o keep_v thing_n from_o our_o eye_n that_o what_o we_o have_v act_v we_o have_v see_v nothing_o before_o we_o which_o also_o be_v a_o witness_n in_o some_o measure_n to_o our_o integrity_n i_o say_v you_o be_v call_v

they_o shall_v be_v a_o people_n call_v choose_v and_o faithful_a and_o have_v in_o the_o military_a way_n we_o must_v speak_v it_o without_o flattery_n i_o believe_v you_o know_v it_o he_o have_v

may_v be_v safe_a to_o the_o nation_n we_o may_v acquiesse_n therein_o when_o we_o press_v they_o to_o give_v satisfaction_n in_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v make_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v good_a

to_o offer_v to_o you_o true_o god_n have_v call_v you_o to_o this_o work_n by_o i_o think_v as_o wonderful_a providence_n as_o ever_o past_a upon_o the_o son_n of_o man_n in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n and_o true_o i_o think_v take_v the_o argument_n of_o necessity_n for_o the_o government_n must_v not_o fall_v take_v the_o appearance_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o this_o thing_n i_o be_o

therefore_o to_o you_o by_o way_n of_o necessity_n it_o come_v to_o you_o by_o the_o way_n of_o the_o wise_a providence_n of_o god_n though_o through_o weak_a hand_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o come_v through_o our_o hand_n though_o such_o as_o we_o be_v it_o may_v not_o be_v take_v ill_o if_o we_o offer_v to_o you_o some_o thing_n as_o to_o the_o discharge_n of_o that_o trust_n which_o be_v

name_n to_o you_o i_o hope_v who_o will_v take_v it_o in_o good_a part_n and_o true_o i_o shall_v not_o hold_v you_o long_o in_o that_o because_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v write_v in_o your_o heart_n to_o approve_v yourselves_o to_o god_n only_o this_o scripture_n i_o shall_v remember_v to_o you_o which_o have_v be_v much_o upon_o my_o spirit_n hosea_n 11_o and_o 12_o verse_n yet_o judah_n rule_v with_o god_n and_o be_v faithful_a among_o the_o saint_n it_o be_v say_v before_o ephraim_n do_v compass_v god_n about_o with_o lie_n and_o israel_n with_o deceit_n how_o god_n have_v be_v compass_v about_o with_o fasting_n and_o thanks-givings_a and_o other_o exercise_n and_o transaction_n i_o think_v we_o have_v all_o to_o lament_v why_o true_o you_o be_v call_v by_o god_n to_o rule_v with_o he_o and_o for_o he_o and_o you_o be_v call_v to_o be_v faithful_a with_o the_o saint_n who_o have_v be_v somewhat_o instrumental_a to_o your_o call_n he_o that_o rule_v over_o man_n the_o scripture_n say_v he_o must_v be_v just_a rule_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o true_o it_o be_v better_a to_o pray_v for_o you_o than_o to_o counsel_v you_o in_o that_o that_o you_o may_v exercise_v the_o judgement_n of_o mercy_n and_o truth_n i_o say_v it_o be_v better_a for_o you_o to_o do_v it_o than_o to_o advise_v you_o to_o ask_v wisdom_n from_o heaven_n for_o you_o which_o i_o be_o confident_a many_o thousand_o of_o saint_n do_v this_o day_n and_o have_v do_v and_o will_v do_v through_o the_o permission_n of_o god_n and_o his_o assistance_n to_o advise_v you_o only_a true_o i_o think_v of_o a_o scripture_n likewise_o that_o seem_v to_o be_v but_o a_o scripture_n of_o common_a application_n to_o every_o man_n as_o a_o christian_a wherein_o he_o be_v counsel_v to_o ask_v wisdom_n and_o he_o be_v tell_v what_o be_v that_o wisdom_n that_o be_v from_o above_o it_o be_v pure_a peaceable_a gentle_a easy_a to_o be_v entreat_v full_a of_o good_a fruit_n without_o partiality_n without_o hypocrisy_n and_o my_o thought_n run_v thus_o upon_o this_o that_o the_o execute_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n for_o that_o be_v the_o judgement_n that_o you_o must_v have_v wisdom_n from_o above_o for_o and_o that_o be_v pure_a that_o will_v teach_v you_o to_o execute_v the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n and_o then_o if_o god_n give_v you_o heart_n to_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v entreat_v to_o be_v peaceable_a spirit_n to_o be_v full_a of_o good_a fruit_n bear_v good_a fruit_n to_o the_o nation_n to_o man_n as_o man_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o all_o in_o their_o several_a station_n this_o wisdom_n will_v teach_v you_o to_o execute_v the_o judgement_n of_o mercy_n and_o truth_n and_o i_o have_v little_o more_o to_o say_v to_o this_o i_o shall_v rather_o bend_v my_o prayer_n for_o you_o in_o that_o behalf_n as_o i_o say_v before_o and_o i_o know_v many_o other_o do_v also_o true_o the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n will_v teach_v you_o to_o be_v as_o just_a towards_o a_o unbeliever_n as_o towards_o a_o believer_n and_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v so_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v often_o say_v it_o foolish_o if_o i_o will_v miscarry_v i_o will_v rather_o do_v it_o to_o a_o believer_n than_o to_o a_o unbeliever_n perhaps_o it_o be_v a_o paradox_n but_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n of_o do_v it_o to_o either_o exercise_v injustice_n to_o either_o if_o god_n fill_v our_o heart_n with_o such_o a_o spirit_n as_o moses_n and_o paul_n have_v which_o be_v not_o only_o a_o spirit_n for_o the_o believer_n among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o for_o the_o whole_a people_n he_o will_v have_v dye_v for_o they_o and_o so_o paul_n to_o his_o countryman_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n he_o can_v have_v dye_v for_o they_o true_o this_o will_v help_v we_o to_o execute_v the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n and_o mercy_n also_o a_o second_o thing_n be_v to_o desire_v you_o will_v be_v faithful_a with_o the_o saint_n and_o i_o hope_v whatever_o other_o may_v think_v aught_o to_o be_v to_o we_o all_o matter_n of_o rejoice_v that_o as_o one_o person_n our_o saviour_n be_v touch_v with_o our_o infirmity_n that_o he_o may_v be_v pitiful_a i_o do_v think_v this_o assembly_n thus_o call_v be_v very_o much_o touch_v with_o the_o common_a infirmity_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o i_o hope_v that_o will_v teach_v you_o to_o pity_v other_o that_o so_o saint_n of_o one_o sort_n may_v not_o be_v our_o interest_n but_o that_o we_o may_v have_v respect_n unto_o all_o though_o of_o different_a judgement_n and_o if_o i_o do_v seem_v to_o speak_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v seem_v to_o reflect_v upon_o those_o of_o the_o presbyterian_a judgement_n i_o think_v if_o you_o have_v not_o a_o interest_n of_o love_n for_o they_o will_v hardly_o answer_v this_o faithfulness_n to_o his_o saint_n i_o confess_v in_o my_o pilgrimage_n and_o some_o exercise_n i_o have_v have_v abroad_o i_o do_v read_v that_o scripture_n often_o in_o isaiah_n 41._o &_o 19_o when_o god_n give_v i_o and_o some_o of_o my_o fellow_n what_o he_o will_v there_o and_o elsewhere_o which_o he_o perform_v for_o we_o and_o what_o will_v he_o do_v to_o what_o end_n that_o he_o may_v plant_v in_o the_o wilderness_n the_o cedar_n and_o the_o shitta_n tree_n and_o the_o myrtle_n tree_n and_o the_o palm_n tree_n together_o to_o what_o end_n that_o they_o may_v know_v and_o consider_v and_o understand_v together_o that_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v this_o and_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v create_v it_o that_o he_o wrought_v all_o salvation_n and_o deliverance_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a flock_n therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o but_o i_o think_v i_o need_v not_o have_v a_o care_n of_o the_o whole_a flock_n love_v all_o the_o sheep_n love_v the_o lamb_n love_v all_o and_o tender_a all_o and_o cherish_v all_o and_o countenance_n all_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o if_o the_o poor_a christian_n the_o most_o mistake_a christian_a shall_v desire_v to_o live_v peaceable_o and_o quiet_o under_o you_o sober_o and_o humble_o desire_v to_o lead_v a_o life_n in_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n let_v he_o
