oppression_n and_o misery_n they_o have_v bring_v they_o into_o a_o much_o worse_a condition_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v expect_v but_o ruin_n under_o their_o conduct_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v kill_v in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o that_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o undeniable_o evident_a that_o they_o must_v put_v out_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n before_o they_o can_v expect_v to_o persuade_v they_o the_o contrary_a numb_a 16._o 13_o 14._o and_o we_o find_v that_o their_o pretence_n be_v so_o very_o plausible_a and_o have_v such_o a_o mighty_a and_o general_a influence_n on_o the_o people_n that_o though_o almighty_a god_n in_o a_o very_a signal_n and_o miraculous_a manner_n declare_v his_o implacable_a anger_n against_o the_o principal_a malcontent_n and_o their_o abettor_n by_o a_o supernatural_a and_o prodigious_a destruction_n yet_o the_o very_a next_o morning_n we_o find_v the_o people_n cry_v they_o up_o as_o martyr_n die_v in_o a_o good_a cause_n and_o murmur_a against_o moses_n and_o aaron_n as_o author_n of_o their_o murder_n v._o 41._o so_o difficult_a be_v it_o for_o people_n to_o be_v convince_v when_o their_o error_n be_v fortify_v by_o

the_o occasion_n and_o pretence_n of_o they_o it_o be_v time_n now_o that_o we_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o second_o thing_n observe_v in_o the_o word_n viz._n the_o
