which_o be_v these_o vnthankefulnesse_n for_o the_o gospel_n the_o abuse_n of_o our_o long_a peace_n our_o general_a security_n our_o secret_a idolatry_n wrath_n our_o ripeness_n in_o all_o sin_n our_o abuse_n of_o all_o god_n mercy_n our_o abuse_n of_o his_o long_a patience_n the_o coldness_n of_o professor_n our_o not_o profit_v by_o former_a judgement_n as_o pestilence_n famine_n dearth_n and_o the_o shake_n of_o the_o sword_n phila._n this_o last_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o special_a token_n of_o approach_a vengeance_n that_o we_o have_v not_o profit_v by_o former_a warning_n theol._n true_a indeed_o for_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a thing_n with_o god_n when_o man_n will_v not_o profit_v by_o mild_a correction_n and_o common_a punishment_n then_o to_o lay_v great_a upon_o they_o and_o when_o a_o former_a trouble_n do_v we_o no_o good_a we_o be_v to_o fear_v a_o final_a consume_a trouble_n for_o so_o we_o read_v in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o hosea_n that_o at_o the_o first_o god_n be_v to_o ephraim_n as_o a_o moth_n and_o to_o judah_n as_o rottenness_n but_o afterward_o when_o as_o they_o profit_v not_o by_o it_o he_o be_v to_o ephraim_n as_o a_o lion_n and_o to_o judah_n 12._o as_o a_o lion_n whelp_n so_o the_o lord_n say_v in_o another_o place_n that_o if_o they_o will_v not_o come_v in_o and_o yield_v obedience_n at_o the_o first_o call_v of_o his_o wrath_n than_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o seven_o time_n more_o but_o if_o 18_o they_o continue_v in_o their_o stubbornness_n than_o he_o threaten_v to_o bring_v seven_o time_n more_o plague_n 21._o upon_o they_o according_a to_o their_o sin_n if_o by_o all_o these_o they_o will_v not_o be_v reform_v but_o walk_v stubborne_o 24._o against_o he_o than_o he_o threaten_v yet_o seven_o time_n more_o for_o their_o sin_n and_o the_o four_o 28._o time_n yet_o seven_o time_n more_o the_o proof_n hereof_o we_o have_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o judge_n where_o 8._o we_o read_v how_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n for_o their_o sin_n be_v in_o subjection_n to_o the_o king_n of_o aram_n naharim_n eight_o year_n afterward_o because_o they_o profit_v nothing_o by_o it_o but_o return_v to_o their_o old_a sin_n therefore_o they_o serve_v eglon_n king_n of_o moab_n eighteen_o year_n after_o that_o again_o for_o their_o 3._o new_a sin_n and_o provocation_n the_o lord_n give_v they_o up_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o midian_a seven_o year_n 1._o after_o all_o this_o for_o the_o renew_n of_o their_o sin_n the_o lord_n sell_v they_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o philistine_n 3._o and_o the_o amonite_n which_o do_v gréevous_o vex_v and_o oppress_v they_o for_o the_o space_n of_o eighteen_o year_n last_o of_o all_o we_o read_v that_o when_o neither_o famine_n nor_o pestilence_n can_v cause_v they_o to_o return_v unto_o he_o than_o he_o deliver_v they_o up_o to_o the_o sword_n of_o their_o enemy_n and_o hold_v they_o in_o bondage_n &_o captivity_n threescore_o and_o ten_o year_n after_o all_o this_o when_o they_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o captivity_n and_o return_v home_o safe_o to_o their_o own_o nation_n and_o enjoy_v some_o good_a time_n of_o peace_n and_o rest_n yet_o at_o last_o they_o fall_v to_o renew_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n plague_v 11._o they_o most_o grievous_o by_o the_o divide_a greek_a empire_n even_o by_o magog_n and_o egypt_n seleucidae_n and_o lagidae_n and_o that_o by_o the_o space_n almost_o of_o three_o hundred_o year_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o the_o prophet_n hosea_n do_v foretell_v that_o the_o child_n 4._o of_o israel_n shall_v remain_v many_o day_n without_o a_o king_n and_o without_o a_o prince_n without_o a_o offering_n and_o without_o a_o image_n without_o a_o ephod_n and_o without_o teraphim_n phila._n you_o have_v very_o large_o lay_v open_v this_o last_o token_n of_o vengeance_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n at_o the_o first_o do_v but_o beat_v we_o upon_o the_o coat_n but_o if_o we_o continue_v in_o sin_n he_o will_v whip_v we_o on_o the_o bare_a skin_n and_o if_o man_n will_v not_o yield_v at_o the_o first_o gentle_a stroke_n than_o he_o will_v strike_v hard_a and_o hard_o till_o he_o have_v break_v our_o stout_a stomach_n and_o make_v our_o great_a heart_n come_v down_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a yield_v at_o the_o first_o for_o we_o shall_v get_v nothing_o by_o our_o sturdiness_n against_o he_o we_o do_v but_o cause_v he_o to_o double_v his_o stroke_n and_o strike_v we_o both_o sideling_n and_o overthwart_a for_o he_o can_v endure_v that_o we_o shall_v gruntle_v against_o he_o with_o stubborn_a sullenness_n but_o now_o to_o the_o point_n sith_o there_o be_v so_o many_o presage_n and_o foresigne_n of_o god_n wrath_n i_o pray_v you_o show_v what_o it_o be_v that_o stay_v the_o

we_o be_v yet_o be_v he_o able_a by_o his_o prayer_n both_o to_o open_v

it_o have_v be_v spare_v the_o almighty_a god_n say_v in_o the_o 15._o chap._n of_o jeremy_n though_o 1._o moses_n and_o samuel_n stand_v before_o i_o yet_o my_o affection_n can_v not_o be_v towards_o this_o people_n which_o do_v plain_o show_v that_o moses_n and_o samuel_n may_v have_v do_v much_o with_o he_o have_v he_o not_o be_v so_o full_o bend_v against_o his_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n as_o he_o be_v so_o likewise_o he_o say_v in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o ezechiel_n though_o these_o three_o 14._o man_n noah_n daniel_n and_o job_n be_v among_o they_o they_o shall_v deliver_v but_o their_o own_o soul_n by_o their_o righteousness_n which_o also_o show_v that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o possible_a entreat_v of_o he_o for_o the_o land_n these_o three_o man_n may_v have_v do_v it_o but_o now_o he_o be_v resolute_o determine_v to_o the_o contrary_n in_o respect_n therefore_o that_o the_o zealous_a preacher_n and_o true_a professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v so_o much_o prevail_v wish_n god_n by_o their_o prayer_n they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o defence_n and_o strength_n of_o kingdom_n and_o country_n of_o church_n and_o common_a wealth_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o

and_o sure_o it_o be_v that_o eliah_n and_o elishah_n be_v not_o only_o the_o chariot_n and_o horseman_n of_o israel_n but_o also_o by_o their_o prayer_n they_o do_v cause_n god_n himself_o to_o be_v a_o wall_n of_o fire_n round_o about_o it_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v in_o the_o 22._o of_o ezechiel_n verse_n 30._o the_o lord_n god_n say_v i_o 30_o seek_v for_o a_o man_n among_o they_o that_o shall_v make_v up_o the_o hedge_n and_o stand_v in_o the_o gap_n before_o i_o for_o the_o land_n that_o i_o may_v not_o destroy_v it_o but_o i_o find_v none_o which_o show_v that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o some_o few_o to_o have_v stand_v in_o the_o breach_n he_o will_v have_v spare_v the_o whole_a land_n this_o also_o appear_v more_o plain_o in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o jeremy_n where_o the_o
