by_o this_o fearful_a hoobub_n or_o whether_o we_o may_v secure_o follow_v that_o which_o we_o have_v hitherto_o practise_v without_o reformation_n of_o our_o life_n it_o be_v find_v by_o experience_n

great_a pride_n a_o city_n most_o careless_a and_o wicked_a may_v be_v confound_v as_o sodom_n gomorrha_n seboim_n and_o the_o rest_n at_o when_o they_o least_o suspect_a peril_n be_v destroy_v with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n so_o may_v secure_v kingdom_n as_o be_v the_o secure_a world_n by_o the_o flood_n and_o therefore_o much_o more_o may_v danger_n be_v fear_v when_o there_o be_v apparent_a

war_n may_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o a_o physician_n time_n who_o look_v neither_o upon_o the_o party_n grieve_v nor_o upon_o his_o state_n and_o what_o counsel_n then_o can_v he_o

therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v both_o know_v and_o cure_v foreseen_a mischief_n hurt_v not_o so_o much_o as_o such_o as_o come_v unlooked_v for_o and_o therefore_o wisdom_n premeditate_v by_o

so_o no_o doubt_n if_o they_o be_v not_o partyall_a in_o their_o search_n they_o shall_v find_v in_o every_o man_n in_o his_o particular_a examination_n of_o his_o own_o desert_n as_o also_o the_o

namely_o sufficient_a cause_n why_o i_o wretch_n shall_v be_v rouse_v up_o and_o pursue_v by_o this_o pernicious_a generation_n &_o if_o i_o shall_v flatter_v myself_o to_o deserve_v to_o be_v free_v from_o their_o tyranny_n if_o i_o look_v unto_o my_o disobedience_n to_o god_n i_o shall_v deceive_v myself_o and_o yet_o my_o imperfection_n perchance_o no_o far_o see_v in_o the_o world_n than_o of_o such_o as_o seem_v to_o stand_v in_o this_o dangerous_a time_n as_o man_n worthy_a for_o their_o honest_a zealous_a &_o religious_a behaviour_n in_o their_o own_o conceit_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o their_o neighbour_n and_o therefore_o sure_o it_o will_v hardly_o appear_v that_o we_o have_v deserve_v to_o be_v punish_v if_o we_o look_v no_o further_o than_o into_o other_o man_n &_o so_o let_v ourselves_o pass_v like_o the_o escape_v goat_n for_o if_o every_o one_o covet_v to_o find_v the_o cause_n in_o other_o and_o pray_v not_o into_o himself_o there_o will_v be_v never_o a_o free_a man_n yet_o all_o free_a for_o every_o man_n will_v condemn_v all_o but_o himself_o and_o yet_o though_o none_o will_v condemn_v himself_o he_o shall_v be_v condemn_v of_o

and_o this_o no_o doubt_n be_v the_o way_n to_o find_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n have_v call_v this_o nation_n against_o we_o other_o as_o jonah_n be_v find_v guilty_a by_o cast_v of_o lot_n for_o doubtless_o if_o we_o seem_v to_o seek_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o danger_n without_o ourselves_o we_o do_v wrong_v to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n who_o be_v not_o as_o envious_a man_n that_o will_v
