commination_n to_o be_v use_v divers_a time_n in_o the_o year_n take_v out_o of_o deut._n 27._o i_o answer_v that_o that_o place_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o as_o all_o the_o people_n be_v to_o say_v amen_o at_o their_o entrance_n into_o the_o earthly_a canaan_n to_o the_o curse_n denounce_v against_o the_o wicked_a so_o all_o the_o saint_n at_o their_o entrance_n

of_o the_o world_n for_o such_o therefore_o be_v this_o commination_n necessary_a that_o hereby_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o acknowledge_v their_o sin_n to_o repent_v of_o they_o and_o require_v

the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v and_o must_v sometime_o press_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n denounce_v against_o sinner_n to_o the_o end_n that_o thereby_o they_o may_v be_v move_v to_o fly_v to_o christ_n as_o their_o only_a sanctuary_n and_o so_o escape_v the_o judgement_n to_o come_v and_o hereof_o we_o have_v a_o example_n give_v in_o
