offend_v in_o run_v wide_a from_o the_o word_n though_o it_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o profit_n and_o therefore_o come_v to_o another_o question_n four_o why_o do_v christ_n knock_v so_o sweet_o to_o tempt_v and_o allure_v you_o to_o open_v to_o he_o for_o his_o many_o sweet_a knock_n and_o many_o a_o soul_n christ_n win_v by_o this_o kind_n of_o knock_v which_o open_v as_o it_o be_v all_o the_o vein_n and_o power_n in_o the_o soul_n wide_a unto_o christ_n and_o as_o free_o entertain_v he_o as_o ever_o do_v zacheus_n five_o why_o do_v christ_n knock_v at_o the_o door_n because_o he_o will_v come_v in_o there_o or_o no_o where_o deceiver_n climb_v the_o wall_n but_o christ_n will_v at_o the_o door_n or_o no_o where_o if_o he_o come_v he_o can_v come_v in_o if_o he_o please_v any_o where_n at_o the_o window_n or_o top_n of_o the_o house_n but_o you_o know_v christ_n love_v to_o come_v in_o at_o the_o door_n of_o consent_n which_o be_v the_o common_a way_n of_o christ_n come_v to_o every_o soul_n but_o the_o door_n what_o be_v that_o the_o heart_n the_o heart_n of_o man_n what_o will_v it_o be_v but_o why_o do_v you_o call_v that_o a_o door_n first_o because_o it_o be_v the_o inlet_n to_o the_o house_n second_o it_o be_v the_o outlet_n to_o the_o house_n so_o be_v the_o heart_n to_o the_o soul_n as_o christ_n come_v in_o at_o the_o heart_n so_o the_o world_n sin_n and_o satan_n go_v out_o at_o the_o heart_n solomon_n say_v my_o son_n give_v i_o thy_o heart_n well_o know_v if_o he_o have_v this_o door_n he_o may_v lay_v what_o he_o will_v with_o in_o but_o you_o say_v i_o may_v know_v it_o be_v christ_n by_o his_o thunder_a knock_n but_o what_o do_v you_o call_v christ_n thunder_a knock_n i_o mean_v his_o thunder_a judgement_n to_o the_o world_n the_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n round_o about_o in_o all_o which_o christ_n be_v now_o a_o thunder_a rouse_a they_o from_o their_o den_n of_o pomp_n glory_n and_o greatness_n to_o exalt_v himself_o and_o saint_n in_o the_o room_n of_o sinner_n which_o must_v be_v do_v in_o every_o kingdom_n before_o that_o all_o be_v hush_v and_o christ_n all_o in_o all_o and_o the_o kingdom_n his_o according_a to_o god_n promise_n i_o will_v give_v thou_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o thy_o possession_n say_v god_n by_o his_o prophet_n david_n turk_n pope_n and_o antichristian_a prince_n have_v keep_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o make_v poor_a saint_n squelke_o and_o hide_v themselves_o in_o new_a plantation_n to_o keep_v their_o conscience_n free_a from_o their_o idolatrous_a worship_n but_o christ_n be_v now_o a_o measure_n out_o land_n and_o live_n for_o they_o yea_o city_n town_n and_o kingdom_n by_o his_o prosper_a army_n which_o measure_n by_o cut_v every_o one_o some_o which_o make_v the_o mighty_a grumble_n as_o if_o they_o be_v lose_v all_o and_o so_o they_o be_v in_o danger_n too_o if_o christ_n be_v justle_v by_o they_o in_o his_o way_n of_o providence_n by_o his_o thunder_a knock_n second_o i_o mean_v by_o christ_n thunder_a knock_n those_o righteous_a judgement_n which_o thou_o see_v befall_v private_a wicked_a man_n christ_n brain_n on_o by_o his_o thunder_n bolt_n that_o twenty_o more_o may_v fear_v sometime_o strike_v the_o drunkard_n with_o a_o deadly_a surfeit_n and_o sometime_o the_o worldling_n with_o a_o deadly_a heat_n and_o cold_a and_o here_o and_o there_o a_o sinner_n that_o thousand_o more_o may_v be_v warn_v three_o i_o mean_v by_o christ_n thunder_a knock_n when_o christ_n knock_v like_o a_o bellman_n at_o midnight_n in_o thy_o dead_a sleep_n crying_z fire_n fire_n fire_n and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o thunder_a knock_n i_o true_o it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n start_v out_o of_o his_o bed_n naked_a to_o save_v his_o house_n to_o save_v his_o good_n true_o thus_o christ_n knock_v at_o a_o sinner_n heart_n or_o door_n first_o by_o judgement_n to_o the_o world_n as_o i_o say_v before_o second_o by_o judgement_n on_o ungodly_a man_n who_o first_o or_o last_o christ_n will_v meet_v withal_o when_o they_o have_v fill_v their_o measure_n which_o thousand_o do_v apace_o some_o by_o ungodly_a deed_n some_o by_o ungodly_a speech_n which_o christ_n will_v reckon_v with_o they_o for_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o judas_n three_o by_o christ_n cry_v out_o at_o midnight_n fire_n fire_n which_o fright_v a_o poor_a man_n that_o his_o sin_n sin_n death_n hell_n hell_n and_o how_o do_v this_o like_o a_o fire_n at_o midnight_n fright_v a_o man_n out_o of_o his_o sleep_n and_o true_o many_o sinner_n do_v christ_n awake_v at_o midnight_n that_o be_v a_o unexpected_a time_n second_o at_o midnight_n in_o his_o deep_a sleep_n of_o drunkenness_n uncleanness_n or_o such_o like_a sin_n so_o you_o see_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o christ_n thunder_a knock_n i_o say_v one_o i_o have_v experience_n of_o this_o he_o awake_v i_o from_o my_o dalilah_n the_o sin_n wherein_o i_o lay_v i_o too_o say_v another_z that_o walk_v in_o his_o sin_n for_o twenty_o year_n together_o christ_n fall_v upon_o a_o sinner_n by_o this_o kind_n of_o knock_v like_o three_o or_o four_o enrage_a enemy_n upon_o a_o man_n crying_z down_o with_o he_o down_o with_o he_o and_o so_o beat_v he_o down_o leave_v he_o even_o dead_a and_o so_o go_v away_o but_o the_o spirit_n come_v and_o visit_n he_o and_o raise_v he_o up_o again_o by_o tell_v he_o his_o sin_n be_v not_o past_a the_o cure_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n which_o christ_n both_o give_v to_o the_o man_n who_o he_o wound_v thus_o with_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o sin_n second_o what_o do_v you_o mean_v by_o christ_n soft_a knock_n by_o christ_n soft_a knock_n i_o mean_v his_o mild_a and_o gentle_a way_n of_o come_v to_o a_o sinner_n crave_v of_o his_o due_n from_o he_o and_o not_o like_o that_o cruel_a servant_n who_o find_v out_o his_o debtor_n catch_v he_o by_o the_o throat_n present_o say_v pay_v i_o straight_o and_o will_v have_v no_o compassion_n on_o he_o but_o christ_n by_o his_o soft_a knock_n come_v to_o a_o poor_a indebt_a sinner_n &_o say_v unto_o he_o friend_n friend_n do_v thou_o remember_v what_o thou_o owe_v i_o yes_o yes_o say_v the_o sinner_n little_o mind_v how_o much_o it_o be_v and_o so_o be_v straight_o a_o go_v nay_o but_o stay_v stay_v friend_n say_v christ_n let_v i_o reckon_v with_o thou_o before_o thou_o go_v which_o the_o sinner_n less_o love_v than_o the_o break_a bankrupt_a to_o look_v into_o or_o cast_v up_o his_o book_n and_o therefore_o pray_v christ_n to_o come_v to_o morrow_n he_o be_v now_o busy_a buy_v of_o a_o farm_n or_o set_v up_o his_o shop_n o_o but_o christ_n tell_v he_o he_o will_v neither_o stay_v nor_o come_v again_o but_o arrest_v he_o straight_o by_o death_n which_o startle_v so_o the_o sinner_n that_o he_o now_o say_v i_o will_v stay_v and_o hear_v all_o i_o owe_v thou_o and_o then_o christ_n tell_v he_o sinner_n first_o thou_o owe_v i_o thy_o soul_n i_o buy_v it_o second_o thy_o body_n i_o redeem_v it_o by_o my_o blood_n three_o thy_o estate_n and_o gift_n i_o give_v it_o thou_o o_o christ_n thou_o demand_v all_o why_o do_v not_o i_o deserve_v all_o and_o
