the_o ordinance_n the_o word_n be_v the_o book_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n to_o sin_n against_o the_o book_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n much_o more_o against_o the_o covenant_n itself_o to_o break_v covenant_n be_v a_o fundamental_a sin_n it_o rase_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o christianity_n because_o the_o covenant_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o the_o privilege_n and_o prerogative_n &_o hope_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o read_v ephes_n 2.12_o that_o a_o stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n be_v one_o without_o hope_n all_o hope_v of_o heaven_n be_v cut_v off_o where_o the_o covenant_n be_v willing_o break_v to_o break_v covenant_n be_v a_o universal_a sin_n it_o include_v all_o other_o sin_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n we_o tie_v ourselves_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n commandment_n we_o give_v up_o ourselves_o to_o the_o guidance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o take_v he_o for_o our_o lord_n and_o king_n all_o the_o promise_n of_o this_o life_n and_o that_o that_o be_v to_o come_v be_v contain_v within_o the_o covenant_n the_o ordinance_n be_v fruit_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o therefore_o they_o that_o forsake_v the_o covenant_n commit_v many_o sin_n in_o one_o and_o bring_v not_o only_o many_o but_o all_o curse_n upon_o their_o head_n the_o sum_n of_o the_o first_o argument_n be_v if_o the_o lord_n will_v avenge_v the_o quarrel_n of_o his_o commandment_n if_o god_n be_v avenge_v upon_o the_o stick-gatherer_n for_o break_v the_o sabbath_n much_o more_o will_v he_o be_v avenge_v upon_o a_o covenant_n breaker_n if_o god_n will_v avenge_v the_o quarrel_n of_o a_o

that_o trample_v under_o their_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n if_o god_n be_v avenge_v of_o those_o that_o abuse_v the_o ark_n of_o the_o covenant_n much_o more_o will_v he_o punish_v those_o that_o abuse_v the_o angel_n of_o the_o covenant_n the_o second_o reason_n why_o covenant-breaking_a be_v such_o a_o land-stro●ing_a sin_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o solemn_a and_o serious_a thing_n to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n a_o matter_n of_o such_o great_a weight_n &_o importance_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o god_n shall_v be_v exceed_o provoke_v with_o those_o that_o slight_a it_o and_o disrespect_n it_o the_o vow_n in_o baptism_n be_v the_o first_o the_o most_o general_a and_o the_o solemne_v vow_n that_o ever_o any_o christian_a take_v say_v chrysostom_n

therefore_o god_n will_v not_o hold_v he_o guiltless_a that_o break_v this_o vow_n the_o solemnity_n and_o weightinesse_n of_o covenant-taking_a consist_v in_o three_o thing_n 1._o because_o it_o be_v make_v with_o the_o glorious_a majesty_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n who_o will_v not_o be_v trifle_v and_o baffle_v withal_o and_o therefore_o what_o jehoshaphat_n say_v to_o his_o judge_n 2_o
