upon_o they_o how_o great_a a_o mercy_n then_o be_v it_o and_o ought_v it_o to_o be_v acknowledge_v if_o god_n be_v please_v to_o give_v any_o man_n a_o soft_a and_o tender_a heart_n a_o humble_a and_o teachable_a spirit_n if_o there_o be_v a_o willingness_n to_o attend_v to_o wholesome_a counsel_n a_o willingness_n to_o be_v instruct_v to_o be_v admonish_v and_o when_o need_n be_v to_o be_v

part_n as_o that_o he_o can_v receive_v they_o patient_o and_o thankful_o as_o that_o he_o can_v say_v with_o david_n 141.5_o psal_n 141.5_o let_v the_o righteous_a smite_v i_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o kindness_n let_v he_o reprove_v i_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o excellent_a oil_n which_o shall_v not_o break_v my_o head_n it_o be_v certain_o matter_n of_o great_a thankfulness_n if_o god_n be_v please_v

have_v give_v you_o up_o to_o as_o great_a a_o measure_n of_o obstinacy_n and_o perverseness_n as_o that_o of_o the_o most_o obdurate_a and_o refractory_a person_n in_o the_o world_n that_o scorn_v to_o be_v admonish_v that_o hate_v instruction_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o fly_v in_o the_o face_n of_o any_o man_n that_o shall_v reprove_v he_o your_o spirit_n may_v have_v rise_v and_o tumultuate_v within_o you_o as_o impetuous_o your_o corruption_n may_v have_v boil_v up_o and_o run_v over_o as_o violent_o against_o any_o man_n that_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v you_o sensible_a of_o your_o

to_o differ_v from_o another_o have_v thou_o not_o the_o same_o natural_a corruption_n that_o the_o very_o worst_a the_o most_o obstinate_a sinner_n have_v and_o who_o be_v it_o that_o restrain_v that_o corruption_n in_o thou_o and_o keep_v it_o from_o break_v out_o in_o the_o most_o fierce_a and_o violent_a opposition_n against_o reproof_n and_o christian_a admonition_n but_o he_o that_o have_v place_v the_o sand_n for_o the_o bind_v of_o the_o sea_n by_o a_o perpetual_a decree_n that_o it_o can_v pass_v it_o and_o though_o the_o wave_n thereof_o toss_v themselves_o yet_o can_v they_o

repentance_n no_o warning_n of_o approach_a judgement_n will_v work_v upon_o they_o then_o let_v all_o impenitent_a sinner_n take_v heed_n how_o they_o still_o persevere_v in_o their_o evil_a way_n lest_o by_o degree_n they_o come_v to_o this_o woeful_a estate_n that_o nothing_o that_o can_v be_v say_v to_o they_o will_v move_v they_o at_o all_o or_o do_v they_o any_o good_a will_v rouse_v they_o up_o or_o awaken_v they_o to_o repentance_n this_o be_v a_o most_o lamentable_a condition_n a_o most_o fearful_a estate_n a_o estate_n to_o be_v tremble_v at_o and_o yet_o in_o this_o fearful_a estate_n will_v your_o perseverance_n in_o your_o evil_a way_n at_o length_n end_n wherefore_o let_v i_o entreat_v you_o to_o endeavour_v to_o break_v off_o your_o sin_n by_o righteousness_n as_o

yet_o remain_v before_o your_o heart_n be_v so_o harden_v as_o that_o you_o be_v past_a feel_n before_o your_o conscience_n come_v to_o be_v sear_v as_o with_o a_o hot_a iron_n 4.2_o 2_o tim._n 4.2_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v before_o you_o be_v give_v up_o to_o a_o reprobate_a mind_n 1.28_o rom._n 1.28_o as_o again_o the_o same_o apostle_n speak_v now_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v never_o be_v thus_o give_v up_o let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o be_v always_o ready_a and_o willing_a to_o hear_v whatsoever_o god_n shall_v be_v please_v to_o speak_v whoever_o be_v the_o instrument_n by_o who_o he_o speak_v to_o we_o let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o have_v both_o our_o ear_n and_o our_o heart_n open_a to_o take_v in_o and_o receive_v whatsoever_o counsel_n admonition_n reproof_n or_o warning_n shall_v be_v give_v we_o from_o he_o and_o here_o let_v we_o consider_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o please_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n when_o a_o man_n be_v not_o regardless_o of_o what_o he_o speak_v but_o serious_o mind_v it_o take_v it_o to_o heart_n and_o be_v affect_v with_o it_o to_o this_o man_n will_v i_o look_v 66.2_o isa_n 66.2_o say_v he_o even_o to_o he_o that_o be_v poor_a and_o of_o a_o contrite_a spirit_n and_o that_o tremble_v at_o my_o word_n a_o most_o remarkable_a instance_n of_o the_o gracious_a respect_n that_o god_n have_v to_o this_o frame_n of_o spirit_n be_v that_o which_o be_v record_v in_o 2_o king_n 22._o there_o we_o find_v that_o when_o shaphan_n the_o scribe_n have_v read_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n that_o have_v be_v find_v in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n before_o josiah_n the_o king_n and_o all_o the_o curse_n and_o threaten_n contain_v therein_o as_o we_o may_v suppose_v josiah_n take_v it_o so_o to_o heart_n that_o he_o rend_v his_o clothes_n and_o send_v immediate_o to_o inquire_v of_o the_o lord_n for_o himself_o for_o the_o people_n and_o for_o all_o judah_n concern_v the_o word_n of_o the_o book_n for_o say_v he_o 13._o ver._n 11_o 12_o 13._o great_a be_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v kindle_v against_o we_o because_o our_o father_n have_v not_o hearken_v to_o the_o word_n of_o this_o book_n to_o do_v according_a to_o all_o that_o be_v write_v therein_o concern_v we_o so_o deep_o be_v josiah_n affect_v with_o what_o god_n have_v threaten_v against_o that_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n but_o now_o how_o do_v god_n take_v it_o at_o his_o hand_n that_o he_o be_v thus_o affect_v this_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o answer_n which_o huldah_n the_o prophetess_n of_o who_o he_o inquire_v return_v he_o at_o ver_fw-la 18_o 19_o 20._o where_o she_o have_v assure_v that_o people_n that_o whatsoever_o evil_n god_n have_v threaten_v shall_v certain_o come_v upon_o they_o she_o add_v with_o reference_n to_o josiah_n a_o very_a gracious_a answer_n from_o the_o lord_n but_o to_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n which_o send_v you_o to_o inquire_v of_o the_o lord_n thus_o shall_v you_o say_v to_o he_o say_v she_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n as_o touch_v the_o word_n which_o thou_o have_v hear_v because_o thy_o heart_n be_v tender_a and_o thou_o have_v humble_v thyself_o before_o the_o lord_n when_o thou_o hear_v what_o i_o speak_v against_o this_o place_n and_o against_o the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o that_o they_o shall_v become_v a_o desolation_n and_o a_o curse_n and_o have_v rend_v thy_o clothes_n and_o weep_v before_o i_o i_o also_o have_v hear_v thou_o say_v the_o lord_n behold_v therefore_o i_o will_v gather_v thou_o unto_o thy_o father_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v

and_o to_o harden_v a_o man_n heart_n against_o such_o counsel_n admonition_n and_o warning_n as_o god_n be_v please_v to_o give_v he_o be_v a_o thing_n high_o displease_v to_o he_o as_o from_o the_o scripture_n aforecited_a appear_v i_o now_o go_v on_o to_o the_o three_o particular_a in_o my_o text_n the_o course_n which_o god_n be_v further_o please_v to_o take_v with_o manasseh_n in_o order_n
