no_o go_v to_o god_n for_o you_o but_o the_o only_a way_n be_v to_o speak_v to_o you_o if_o so_o be_v you_o will_v hear_v and_o repent_v remember_v what_o our_o saviour_n say_v mat._n 5.16_o let_v

say_v if_o god_n word_n be_v true_a than_o these_o people_n though_o they_o make_v such_o a_o high_a profession_n and_o yet_o do_v as_o they_o do_v and_o no_o punishment_n come_v upon_o they_o they_o be_v not_o the_o people_n of_o god_n for_o thus_o they_o argue_v it_o with_o god_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o these_o be_v thy_o peculiar_a people_n that_o disinherited_a their_o king_n with_o all_o his_o seed_n without_o the_o least_o cause_n of_o all_o his_o right_n which_o his_o predecessor_n enjoy_v above_o two_o thousand_o year_n and_o he_o by_o the_o whole_a consent_n of_o the_o nation_n

know_v how_o deserve_v he_o be_v of_o their_o loyalty_n give_v they_o more_o liberty_n than_o all_o the_o king_n that_o ever_o be_v before_o he_o do_v to_o do_v what_o they_o will_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o they_o contrary_a to_o their_o oath_n to_o destroy_v he_o and_o thy_o church_n and_o take_v all_o the_o patrimony_n to_o themselves_o belong_v to_o thou_o and_o thy_o church_n and_o minister_n this_o thousand_o year_n and_o that_o take_v all_o from_o the_o loyal_a and_o conscientious_a people_n if_o these_o be_v thy_o people_n then_o sure_a the_o scripture_n be_v not_o thy_o mind_n and_o we_o be_v yet_o to_o seek_v oh_o lord_n look_v upon_o thy_o honour_n thy_o name_n be_v blaspheme_v because_o of_o these_o people_n who_o call_v themselves_o by_o thy_o name_n and_o say_v what_o they_o do_v most_o wicked_o be_v thy_o work_n lay_v it_o upon_o thou_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o thy_o name_n try_v they_o see_v if_o any_o of_o they_o will_v prove_v so_o true_a to_o thou_o in_o their_o religion_n as_o charles_n steward_n and_o william_n laud_n do_v alas_o they_o have_v no_o religion_n nor_o know_v they_o which_o to_o choose_v but_o be_v confound_v and_o divide_v strive_v who_o shall_v get_v most_o of_o their_o unrighteous_a mammon_n get_v by_o oppression_n i_o believe_v i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o for_o you_o know_v it_o that_o thus_o the_o world_n resent_v you_o before_o god_n show_v he_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o it_o to_o stand_v with_o his_o holiness_n justice_n and_o righteousness_n to_o let_v you_o go_v unpunished_a and_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v a_o high_a esteem_n of_o his_o own_o name_n and_o repute_v among_o all_o the_o world_n and_o consider_v that_o a_o judge_n do_v not_o when_o a_o evidence_n be_v give_v against_o a_o malefactor_n examine_v whether_o the_o witness_n be_v good_a man_n or_o bad_a but_o if_o the_o witness_n agree_v so_o that_o it_o be_v find_v that_o what_o they_o witness_v be_v true_a the_o malefactor_n be_v condemn_v for_o his_o fault_n though_o in_o other_o thing_n he_o be_v more_o blameless_a than_o the_o witness_n so_o when_o the_o cry_n against_o sodom_n come_v up_o to_o heaven_n it_o be_v not_o lot_n nor_o abraham_n cry_n for_o we_o see_v abraham_n pray_v for_o they_o gen._n 18.27_o 28._o but_o it_o be_v the_o cry_n of_o the_o generality_n that_o condemn_v sodom_n as_o wicked_a man_n gen._n 13.13_o and_o yet_o god_n make_v as_o though_o he_o know_v not_o the_o certainty_n of_o it_o gen._n 18.20_o 21._o therefore_o god_n send_v two_o angel_n to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n and_o then_o to_o destroy_v it_o gen._n 19.1.12_o 13._o and_o how_o many_o angel_n be_v abuse_v by_o you_o we_o know_v not_o now_o since_o angel_n come_v in_o such_o mean_a habit_n now_o after_o all_o this_o cry_n about_o sodom_n it_o be_v not_o for_o god_n honour_n to_o let_v it_o stand_v for_o what_o will_v man_n have_v say_v if_o he_o have_v not_o destroy_v it_o but_o conclude_v that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o their_o wicked_a work_n and_o how_o zealous_a be_v holy_a moses_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n that_o the_o world_n shall_v not_o speak_v evil_a of_o god_n for_o any_o cause_n numb_a 14.11_o 12_o 13_o 14.15_o 16._o and_o how_o severe_a do_v god_n punish_v david_n because_o he_o be_v report_v to_o be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n do_v give_v a_o occasion_n for_o man_n to_o speak_v evil_a of_o god_n 2_o sam._n 12.11_o 12_o 13_o 14._o for_o though_o david_n upon_o his_o repentance_n be_v quit_v from_o death_n yet_o the_o flower_n of_o his_o son_n must_v die_v for_o it_o his_o wife_n be_v give_v before_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o to_o his_o own_o son_n and_o he_o defile_v they_o and_o he_o pursue_v his_o father_n david_n to_o the_o death_n oh_o what_o a_o sad_a condition_n be_v david_n in_o for_o that_o sin_n as_o you_o may_v see_v 2_o sam._n 15._o 2_o sam._n 16._o 2_o sam._n 17._o 2_o sam._n 18._o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o as_o you_o tender_v your_o own_o salvation_n have_v a_o care_n to_o the_o name_n of_o god_n that_o you_o have_v take_v upon_o you_o before_o all_o the_o world_n and_o let_v it_o not_o be_v evil_o speak_v of_o for_o your_o sake_n methinks_v i_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o joseph_n gen._n 39.9_o when_o his_o mistress_n tempt_v he_o to_o lie_v with_o she_o say_v he_o my_o master_n have_v put_v all_o that_o he_o have_v under_o my_o hand_n but_o thou_o how_o then_o can_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n und_fw-ge sin_n against_o god_n he_o be_v not_o to_o his_o master_n as_o the_o late_a parliament_n be_v to_o king_n charles_n he_o will_v rather_o go_v to_o prison_n and_o die_v then_o be_v so_o perfidious_a but_o see_v the_o end_n of_o it_o god_n exalt_v he_o and_o make_v he_o lord_n over_o all_o egypt_n therefore_o have_v a_o care_n to_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o let_v your_o light_n so_o shine_v before_o all_o the_o world_n that_o they_o may_v see_v your_o good_a work_n and_o glorify_v your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o this_o you_o can_v do_v no_o way_n except_o by_o repentance_n you_o
