oh_o lord_n god_n what_o be_v my_o house_n that_o thou_o have_v bring_v i_o hitherto_o you_o may_v call_v england_n jehovah_n shammah_o as_o the_o church_n in_o ezekiel_n the_o last_o verse_n the_o

consider_v these_o few_o 1_o that_o you_o yet_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v for_o his_o glory_n your_o late_a action_n and_o your_o very_a late_a act_n testify_v this_o however_o prejudice_v

that_o whensoever_o god_n do_v depart_v from_o any_o authority_n power_n or_o people_n god_n do_v first_o take_v away_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n from_o they_o that_o they_o neither_o approve_v of_o they_o join_v with_o they_o nor_o pray_v for_o they_o this_o we_o find_v in_o samuel_n who_o leave_v saul_n and_o come_v no_o more_o to_o see_v he_o 14.35_o 1_o sam._n 14.35_o and_o

as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o judah_n 11.12_o hos_fw-la 11.12_o that_o you_o yet_o rule_v with_o god_n and_o be_v faithful_a to_o the_o saint_n 3_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n be_v with_o you_o that_o the_o lord_n put_v a_o spirit_n of_o zeal_n in_o some_o of_o you_o for_o a_o perfect_a reformation_n and_o also_o a_o spirit_n of_o assurance_n that_o god_n will_v carry_v on_o the_o work_n of_o your_o hand_n 4_o the_o concurrence_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o effect_v those_o great_a thing_n which_o you_o have_v undertake_v both_o in_o this_o land_n and_o in_o ireland_n do_v bespeak_v the_o lord_n to_o be_v with_o you_o the_o heaven_n smile_n and_o the_o earth_n laugh_v and_o rejoice_v at_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n yea_o some_o do_v observe_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v show_v himself_o more_o gracious_a to_o this_o land_n in_o external_o since_o you_o have_v appear_v and_o act_v for_o he_o of_o late_a so_o impartiallie_o and_o courageous_o however_o some_o as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v will_v not_o see_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v so_o evident_o lift_v up_o 62.11_o esa_n 62.11_o 5_o and_o last_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a sign_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v yet_o with_o you_o because_o you_o have_v decreeed_o and_o don_v nothing_o against_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n nor_o impose_v any_o thing_n upon_o their_o conscience_n though_o you_o have_v be_v frequent_o move_v thereto_o remember_v still_o those_o many_o sermon_n that_o you_o have_v have_v to_o stir_v you_o up_o to_o be_v kind_a to_o the_o lord_n little_a one_o they_o be_v as_o you_o once_o excellent_o hear_v the_o interest_n of_o nation_n and_o god_n will_v deal_v well_o or_o ill_o with_o you_o as_o you_o favour_v they_o or_o frown_v upon_o they_o therefore_o look_v upon_o the_o saint_n next_o christ_n as_o your_o safe_a and_o strong_a sanctuary_n give_v i_o leave_v i_o beseech_v you_o to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n to_o be_v tender_a also_o to_o some_o tender_a conscience_n who_o peradventure_o can_v subscribe_v and_o submit_v to_o your_o power_n and_o authority_n favour_v they_o and_o be_v not_o provoke_v against_o they_o though_o some_o will_v stir_v you_o up_o thereto_o who_o peradventure_o have_v no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o weaken_v your_o hand_n and_o to_o make_v you_o more_o odious_a to_o the_o people_n object_n but_o some_o will_v say_v though_o god_n have_v be_v hitherto_o with_o we_o and_o yet_o abide_v among_o we_o yet_o we_o have_v many_o ground_n to_o fear_v that_o the_o lord_n may_v leave_v we_o and_o that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o stop_n in_o the_o work_n now_o in_o our_o hand_n ans_fw-fr sure_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o put_v you_o upon_o a_o work_n that_o he_o mean_v to_o lay_v aside_o for_o it_o be_v temple-worke_n and_o such_o a_o

ever_o how_o then_o can_v the_o work_n go_v on_o ans_fw-fr god_n sometime_o take_v occasion_n from_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n to_o show_v mercy_n to_o they_o and_o to_o spare_v they_o i_o have_v time_n only_o to_o name_v you_o a_o few_o place_n gen._n 8.21_o esa_n 57.17_o hos_fw-la 2.13_o 14._o joh._n 20.25_o obj._n but_o that_o which_o do_v most_o trouble_n we_o herein_o be_v to_o know_v whether_o
