A87056	Gods judgements upon drunkards, swearers, and sabbath-breakers. In a collection of the most remarkable examples of Gods revealed wrath upon these sins with their aggravations, as well from scripture, as reason. And a caution to authority, lest the impunity of these evils bring a scourge upon the whole nation. By W. L.	Hammond, Samuel, d. 1665.	1659 (1659)	Wing H623bA; ESTC R230554	59,944	204

know_v that_o what_o be_v lawful_a on_o other_o day_n be_v sin_n on_o this_o day_n and_o such_o of_o you_o as_o need_v not_o by_o god_n blessing_n in_o a_o full_a estate_n toil_v all_o the_o week_n whereby_o you_o can_v plead_v a_o weariness_n to_o wait_v on_o god_n upon_o his_o own_o day_n you_o turn_v his_o blessing_n into_o a_o curse_n if_o you_o profane_v it_o you_o play_v all_o the_o six_o day_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n with_o a_o witness_n if_o you_o play_v away_o the_o seven_o also_o you_o that_o can_v close_v this_o holy_a day_n without_o a_o evening_n sacrifice_n to_o bacchus_n instead_o of_o prayer_n to_o the_o lord_n that_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n god_n judgement_n sleep_v not_o you_o be_v prepare_v yourselves_o as_o fuel_n for_o the_o fire_n of_o god_n vengeance_n and_o

that_o never_o think_v of_o god_n all_o the_o week_n you_o can_v for_o your_o calling_n you_o will_v not_o for_o your_o pleasure_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n if_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n betwixt_o you_o and_o heathen_n it_o be_v that_o you_o know_v your_o condemnation_n before_o it_o come_v you_o will_v be_v at_o the_o great_a day_n witness_n for_o god_n against_o yourselves_o to_o see_v so_o many_o idle_o sit_v at_o home_n and_o never_o mind_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n methinks_v i_o be_o among_o the_o indian_n it_o be_v a_o very_a heavy_a thing_n to_o consider_v in_o some_o

be_v not_o this_o a_o sad_a case_n to_o be_v in_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n nay_o it_o be_v the_o sad_a experience_n of_o this_o place_n where_o i_o live_v and_o i_o may_v speak_v it_o to_o my_o

the_o most_o of_o they_o be_v at_o home_n in_o idleness_n if_o not_o at_o play_n or_o drink_n upon_o this_o account_n i_o will_v conclude_v with_o one_o word_n good_a people_n let_v i_o persuade_v you_o to_o serve_v god_n rather_o than_o gratify_v the_o devil_n with_o your_o own_o damnation_n be_v your_o labour_n less_o to_o sit_v at_o home_n than_o in_o the_o congregation_n do_v you_o think_v

you_o christian_n or_o infidel_n do_v you_o profess_v to_o worship_n god_n 17._o or_o mahomet_n how_o shall_v you_o believe_v on_o he_o of_o who_o you_o have_v not_o hear_v how_o can_v you_o hear_v without_o a_o preacher_n not_o to_o hear_v that_o bless_a gospel_n which_o christ_n have_v send_v into_o our_o coast_n our_o house_n be_v to_o do_v as_o the_o gadereans_n do_v drive_v christ_n from_o
