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

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

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

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

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

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
