it_o be_v describe_v in_o these_o word_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v yet_o more_o kindle_v against_o israel_n etc._n etc._n by_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v here_o mean_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n provoke_v to_o punish_v sin_n as_o in_o a_o hundred_o place_n of_o scripture_n beside_o by_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o understand_v any_o passion_n or_o disorder_a affection_n such_o as_o be_v the_o wrath_n of_o man_n of_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o it_o work_v not_o y_z e_z righteousness_n of_o god_n but_o be_v often_o provoke_v with_o small_a cause_n or_o with_o no_o worthy_a cause_n at_o all_o and_o yet_o boil_v immoderate_o in_o the_o hart_n of_o man_n whereby_o he_o be_v unmeasurablie_o desirous_a of_o revengement_n but_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n which_o be_v figurative_o call_v his_o wrath_n be_v never_o stir_v up_o to_o revengement_n but_o upon_o great_a and_o weighty_a cause_n neither_o rage_v with_o blind_a fury_n but_o keep_v a_o most_o perfect_a moderation_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n which_o may_v be_v yield_v of_o this_o figurative_a speech_n wherefore_o god_n righteousness_n be_v call_v his_o wrath_n the_o first_o be_v to_o strike_v through_o our_o heart_n with_o terror_n of_o his_o justice_n for_o the_o name_n of_o wrath_n be_v more_o terrible_a than_o the_o name_n of_o justice_n and_o our_o nature_n be_v more_o familiarly_o acquaint_v with_o the_o one_o them_z with_o the_o other_o y_z e_z wrath_n of_o a_o man_n if_o he_o be_v of_o power_n to_o hurt_v be_v great_o fear_v the_o wrath_n of_o a_o prince_n say_v solomon_n in_o the_o 16._o chapter_n of_o the_o proverb_n be_v the_o messenger_n of_o death_n how_o much_o more_o y_o e_o wrath_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o lord_n of_o host_n in_o comparison_n of_o who_o power_n &_o glory_v all_o earthly_a prince_n be_v but_o dust_n &_o ash_n the_o second_o reason_n why_o y_a e_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v call_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v that_o we_o may_v learn_v and_o understand_v that_o as_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n wherewith_o we_o be_v acquaint_v be_v not_o pacify_v but_o by_o two_o mean_n either_o by_o reconciliation_n or_o revengement_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n therefore_o when_o soever_o we_o have_v provoke_v y_o e_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o we_o by_o our_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n which_o we_o do_v daily_o and_o hourly_o we_o must_v either_o seek_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o by_o true_a repentance_n or_o else_o look_v for_o sharp_a punishment_n we_o must_v either_o humble_o submit_v our_o self_n acknowledge_v our_o offence_n &_o humble_o desire_v pardon_n or_o else_o we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o y_o it_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v once_o kindle_v against_o we_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o escape_v vengeance_n we_o see_v now_o wherefore_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v call_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n now_o must_v we_o look_v for_o what_o cause_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v kindle_v against_o israel_n &_o how_o the_o israelite_n have_v provoke_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n to_o punish_v they_o the_o cause_n in_o deed_n be_v not_o set_v down_o in_o express_a word_n but_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o gather_v by_o the_o effect_n for_o it_o be_v manifest_a y_z t_z when_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v kindle_v against_o israel_n it_o be_v for_o none_o other_o cause_n but_o for_o their_o sin_n &_o it_o be_v needle_n to_o inquire_v what_o particular_a sin_n be_v the_o cause_n for_o it_o be_v not_o one_o or_o two_o but_o all_o kind_n of_o sin_n &_o especial_o their_o unthankefulnes_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v they_o david_n a_o most_o excellent_a governor_n who_o both_o have_v establish_v the_o purity_n &_o sincerity_n of_o god_n true_a religion_n and_o also_o have_v keep_v they_o in_o peace_n &_o tranquillity_n for_o many_o year_n together_o but_o as_o it_o usual_o come_v to_o pass_v through_o the_o corrupt_a nature_n of_o man_n which_o be_v make_v insolent_a with_o prosperity_n y_z e_z people_n not_o consider_v those_o great_a benefit_n of_o god_n be_v not_o only_o unthankful_a to_o he_o for_o so_o happy_a a_o government_n but_o fol_z lowed_a every_o one_o the_o lust_n of_o his_o own_o hart_n not_o fear_v to_o transgress_v y_z e_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o yet_o retain_v a_o outward_a form_n of_o godliness_n by_o external_a exercise_n of_o religion_n the_o virtue_n &_o power_n whereof_o they_o deny_v in_o life_n &_o conversation_n and_o so_o provoke_v y_o e_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n to_o be_v kindle_v against_o they_o but_o we_o must_v consider_v wherefore_o y_a e_o scripture_n say_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n procee_v or_o be_v yet_o more_o kindle_v you_o must_v understand_v as_o we_o read_v in_o y_z e_o 21._o cha_n of_o this_o book_n y_fw-fr t_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v kindle_v before_o this_o time_n against_o y_o e_o people_n so_z y_z t_z he_o plague_v they_o with_o three_o year_n famine_n for_o the_o cruelty_n that_o saul_n to_o gratify_v they_o commit_v against_o the_o gibeonite_n who_o he_o have_v slay_v &_o seek_v to_o root_v our_o contrary_n to_o a_o covenant_n which_o their_o auncetor_n have_v make_v &_o confirm_v with_o a_o solemn_a oath_n in_o y_z c_o day_n of_o josua_n these_o three_o year_n of_o hunger_n be_v now_o past_a &_o this_o be_v the_o four_o year_n in_o which_o god_n after_o he_o have_v avenge_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o gibeonite_n upon_o the_o posterite_n of_o saul_n have_v restore_v plenty_n and_o abundance_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o man_n life_n with_o external_a peace_n &_o prosperity_n for_o which_o benefit_n &_o blessing_n of_o god_n

they_o be_v admonish_v to_o forsake_v their_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o and_o true_o to_o turn_v to_o he_o but_o they_o clean_o contrariwise_o abuse_v his_o mercy_n take_v occasion_n to_o provoke_v his_o justice_n even_o as_o the_o froward_a nature_n of_o man_n be_v so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v plague_v and_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v heavy_a on_o they_o they_o humble_v themselves_o before_o he_o or_o at_o least_o pretend_v so_o to_o do_v but_o when_o the_o plague_n be_v seace_v and_o they_o find_v themselves_o relieve_v they_o return_v again_o to_o their_o former_a wickedness_n so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o israelite_n they_o have_v be_v punish_v with_o famine_n but_o they_o be_v not_o thereby_o reform_v and_o therefore_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v
