a_o warn_v to_o england_n or_o the_o nation_n looking-glass_n wherein_o they_o may_v plain_o see_v what_o be_v those_o good_a thing_n that_o be_v withhold_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o nation_n also_o what_o be_v those_o national_a sin_n which_o withhold_v good_a thing_n from_o we_o some_o of_o these_o have_v be_v late_o endeavour_v to_o be_v suppress_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o which_o

withheld_a good_a thing_n from_o you_o among_o the_o many_o book_n that_o i_o have_v former_o write_v i_o think_v it_o now_o very_o necessary_a at_o last_o to_o write_v a_o book_n whereby_o people_n may_v be_v convince_v of_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o wicked_a practice_n hope_v that_o by_o the_o special_a blessing_n of_o god_n the_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o nation_n may_v reform_v their_o life_n and_o turn_v to_o god_n by_o unfeigned_a repentance_n so_o that_o god_n may_v avert_v those_o judgement_n which_o the_o sin_n of_o this_o nation_n do_v daily_o cry_v aloud_o for_o and_o be_v continual_o hang_v over_o our_o head_n many_o there_o be_v as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o in_o my_o book_n of_o joshua_n resolution_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n complain_v of_o the_o badness_n of_o the_o time_n because_o trade_v be_v so_o low_a money_n so_o dead_a tax_v so_o great_a and_o the_o war_n continue_v thus_o long_o still_o expect_v the_o end_n of_o the_o war_n and_o the_o come_n of_o good_a peaceable_a time_n but_o friend_n deceive_v not_o yourselves_o you_o can_v expect_v good_a peaceable_a time_n so_o long_o as_o wickedness_n abound_v so_o in_o the_o land_n as_o it_o do_v for_o i_o very_o think_v that_o since_o the_o time_n that_o england_n have_v be_v a_o nation_n there_o never_o be_v more_o profaneness_n and_o ungodliness_n than_o there_o be_v now_o there_o never_o be_v more_o swear_v curse_a cheat_a oppress_a lie_a profane_v the_o sabbath_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o uncleaness_n as_o there_o reign_v among_o we_o in_o these_o our_o day_n this_o land_n certain_o be_v like_o another_o sodom_n for_o wickedness_n therefore_o instead_o of_o hope_v for_o better_a time_n we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o fear_v that_o except_o there_o be_v a_o timely_a reformation_n among_o we_o some_o sade_a stroke_n of_o vengeance_n will_v fall_v on_o this_o nation_n than_o yet_o have_v befall_v we_o people_z complain_v because_o the_o time_n be_v bad_a and_o because_o these_o trouble_n be_v continue_v so_o long_o among_o we_o whereas_o they_o themselves_o be_v the_o cause_n it_o be_v their_o sin_n that_o stand_v as_o a_o cloud_n and_o stop_v good_a thing_n from_o descend_v upon_o they_o as_o the_o prophet_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n your_o iniquity_n have_v turn_v away_o these_o thing_n and_o your_o sin_n have_v with-helden_a good_a thing_n from_o you_o the_o doctrine_n which_o i_o shall_v raise_v from_o these_o word_n shall_v be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o a_o people_n or_o nation_n that_o keep_v back_o mercy_n and_o hinder_v good_a thing_n from_o come_v upon_o it_o this_o whole_a chapter_n contain_v a_o discovery_n of_o god_n judgement_n upon_o the_o jew_n for_o their_o transgression_n the_o substance_n of_o which_o be_v sum_v up_o in_o short_a in_o the_o text_n your_o iniquity_n have_v turn_v away_o these_o thing_n and_o your_o sin_n have_v withheld_a good_a thing_n from_o you_o now_o from_o the_o text_n we_o have_v considerable_a these_o two_o thing_n first_o to_o show_v you_o what_o be_v those_o good_a thing_n which_o sin_n do_v withhold_v from_o a_o people_n or_o nation_n second_o what_o be_v those_o sin_n which_o do_v keep_v back_o mercy_n and_o hinder_v good_a thing_n from_o come_v unto_o a_o people_n or_o nation_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v conclude_v all_o with_o a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o application_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o to_o show_v you_o what_o be_v those_o good_a thing_n which_o sin_n do_v withhold_v from_o a_o people_n or_o nation_n now_o those_o good_a thing_n that_o sin_n do_v

a_o people_n or_o nation_n spiritual_a good_a thing_n now_o those_o spiritual_a good_a thing_n which_o sin_n do_v withhold_v from_o a_o people_n be_v such_o as_o the_o pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o all_o their_o sin_n the_o special_a love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n reveal_v to_o their_o soul_n in_o the_o full_a and_o free_a pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n the_o

and_o follow_v the_o lust_n and_o carnal_a desire_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n god_n many_o time_n in_o justice_n leave_v they_o to_o their_o own_o heart_n lust_n that_o because_o they_o love_v and_o

to_o uncleanness_n to_o follow_v the_o dosire_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n thus_o god_n deal_v with_o his_o own_o people_n the_o jew_n psa_n 81.12_o that_o because_o they_o will_v not_o hearken_v to_o
