as_o we_o may_v just_o complain_v with_o the_o good_a king_n there_o be_v not_o one_o godly_a man_n leave_v 12_o psal_n 12_o the_o faithful_a be_v fail_v from_o the_o child_n of_o man_n in_o noah_n age_n all_o flesh_n have_v corrupt_v their_o way_n and_o then_o the_o flood_n come_v and_o sweep_v they_o away_o in_o abraham_n time_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o the_o land_n and_o then_o god_n send_v fire_n and_o brimstone_n on_o sodom_n and_o her_o three_o sister_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o judge_n when_o there_o be_v no_o king_n in_o israel_n 17_o jud._n 17_o every_o man_n do_v what_o be_v good_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n and_o then_o the_o people_n do_v eat_v up_o one_o another_o in_o the_o time_n of_o isaiah_n the_o faithful_a city_n be_v become_v a_o harlot_n they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o understanding_n as_o the_o ox_n and_o the_o ass_n then_o the_o lord_n ease_v he_o of_o his_o adversary_n and_o avenge_v he_o of_o his_o enemy_n in_o jeremies_n time_n 5_o jer._n 5_o there_o be_v not_o a_o man_n in_o jerusalem_n that_o execute_v judgement_n and_o seek_v the_o truth_n therefore_o a_o lion_n out_o of_o the_o forest_n shall_v slay_v they_o a_o wolf_n out_o of_o the_o wilderness_n destroy_v they_o and_o a_o leopard_n watch_v over_o their_o city_n 14_o psal_n 14_o in_o david_n time_n there_o be_v none_o that_o do_v good_a not_o one_o then_o come_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o wealthy_a of_o they_o and_o strike_v down_o the_o choose_a man_n that_o be_v in_o israel_n in_o salomon_n time_n 7._o eccles_n 7._o but_o one_o man_n of_o a_o thousand_o a_o thousand_o to_o one_o we_o shall_v not_o find_v one_o now_o and_o then_o ten_o tribe_n be_v rend_v from_o his_o kingdom_n 13_o 1._o king_n 13_o in_o christ_n time_n many_o be_v call_v and_o few_o choose_v and_o then_o come_v the_o desolation_n of_o that_o most_o famous_a jerusalem_n and_o utter_a subversion_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n such_o as_o be_v never_o read_v of_o in_o any_o age_n that_o the_o choose_a generation_n shall_v be_v vagabond_n and_o runagate_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o the_o end_n thereof_o in_o paul_n time_n not_o many_o noble_a not_o many_o wise_a according_a to_o the_o flesh_n be_v call_v 1._o 1._o cor._n 1._o nay_o all_o seek_v their_o own_o and_o not_o that_o which_o be_v christ_n 2_o phil._n 2_o and_o then_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v under_o gricuous_a persecution_n and_o when_o christ_n come_v 18_o luc._n 18_o shall_v he_o find_v faith_n on_o the_o earth_n and_o why_o may_v not_o we_o speak_v all_o these_o thing_n of_o these_o our_o time_n who_o have_v add_v to_o the_o iniquity_n of_o all_o time_n why_o may_v not_o we_o fear_v the_o like_a judgement_n for_o the_o want_n of_o that_o goodness_n which_o want_v procure_v these_o judgement_n may_v not_o we_o say_v there_o be_v not_o one_o that_o do_v good_a all_o flesh_n have_v corrupt_v his_o way_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o the_o land_n every_o man_n do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n the_o faithful_a city_n be_v become_v a_o harlot_n not_o one_o good_a man_n of_o a_o thousand_o can_v be_v find_v sure_o we_o have_v fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o father_n iniquity_n and_o if_o we_o speedy_o repent_v not_o god_n will_v fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o judgement_n upon_o we_o for_o it_o here_o than_o i_o do_v brief_o observe_v these_o two_o point_n first_o that_o all_o age_n have_v have_v in_o all_o place_n a_o penury_n and_o want_n of_o goodness_n more_o or_o less_o second_o that_o no_o
