gospel_n surfeit_n and_o may_v not_o the_o lord_n just_o take_v we_o down_o and_o make_v we_o know_v the_o worth_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o the_o want_n of_o it_o since_o we_o have_v play_v with_o

who_o can_v but_o admire_v that_o when_o england_n be_v as_o chaffy_a as_o sodom_n that_o we_o have_v not_o the_o same_o flame_n as_o sodom_n have_v be_v not_o this_o salvation_n that_o when_o we_o

that_o english_a darkness_n be_v not_o a_o proverb_n as_o well_o as_o egyptian_a darkness_n england_n of_o old_a be_v call_v albion_n from_o the_o white_a rock_n and_o scotland_n as_o some_o critic_n

neighbour_n already_o we_o have_v much_o liberty_n to_o bless_v god_n oh_o that_o there_o we_o not_o so_o much_o liberty_n to_o blaspheme_v god_n we_o have_v more_o liberty_n than_o either_o we_o

the_o lord_n grant_v the_o time_n may_v never_o come_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v liberty_n without_o conscience_n liberty_n and_o nothing_o else_o but_o licentiousness_n and_o atheism_n we_o have_v once_o heart_n to_o bless_v god_n but_o want_v opportunity_n oh_o that_o now_o we_o have_v opportunity_n we_o do_v not_o want_v heart_n as_o when_o a_o doubt_a christian_n complain_v that_o he_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o god_n he_o be_v such_o a_o stranger_n to_o god_n a_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n reply_v but_o what_o will_v you_o take_v for_o that_o interest_n though_o as_o you_o

the_o sceptre_n of_o peace_n instead_o of_o garment_n roll_v in_o blood_n and_o the_o noise_n of_o arm_n you_o have_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n sprinkle_v on_o your_o garment_n oh_o trample_v it_o not_o under_o foot_n instead_o of_o the_o roar_a cannon_n you_o have_v the_o sweet_a sound_n of_o gospel-ordinance_n god_n have_v but_o shake_v his_o rod_n over_o we_o while_o he_o have_v break_v their_o back_n while_o we_o have_v be_v let_v blood_n he_o have_v even_o let_v they_o bleed_v to_o death_n god_n bid_v david_n choose_v which_o of_o the_o three_o plague_n of_o war_n famine_n pestilence_n he_o will_v have_v but_o god_n put_v it_o to_o our_o choice_n which_o of_o those_o three_o plague_n we_o will_v not_o have_v inflict_v on_o we_o though_o god_n have_v sheathe_v up_o his_o sword_n yet_o he_o hold_v it_o still_o in_o his_o hand_n therefore_o fear_v what_o salvation_n be_v this_o that_o parent_n be_v not_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o their_o ch_n ldren_n to_o quench_v their_o thirst_n and_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o their_o child_n to_o satisfy_v their_o hunger_n 4_o from_o hence_o admire_v that_o we_o be_v not_o make_v a_o babylon_n pray_v pray_v that_o the_o bibles_n may_v be_v open_v in_o spain_n and_o yet_o bless_v god_n that_o there_o be_v not_o padlock_n hang_v on_o they_o in_o england_n pray_v mighty_o that_o antichrist_n may_v fall_v abroad_o and_o forget_v not_o to_o bless_v god_n that_o though_o there_o be_v much_o of_o rome_n in_o england_n that_o yet_o england_n be_v not_o rome_n that_o none_o can_v go_v to_o market_n that_o none_o can_v buy_v or_o sell_v without_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n revel_v 13.17_o either_o in_o their_o right_a hand_n or_o on_o their_o forehead_n it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o good_a man_n that_o the_o protestant_a profession_n shall_v be_v overspread_v with_o antichristianism_n again_o and_o that_o then_o the_o lord_n will_v extraordinary_o awaken_v they_o from_o their_o sleep_n and_o active_o engage_v they_o against_o babylon_n but_o i_o wish_v though_o we_o have_v look_v on_o babylon_n that_o we_o may_v not_o so_o lust_n after_o babylon_n spiritual_a long_n in_o this_o kind_n be_v dangerous_a but_o i_o hope_v god_n will_v prevent_v zion_n miscarriage_n in_o the_o birth_n of_o reformation_n the_o lord_n grant_v if_o we_o go_v to_o rome_n it_o may_v not_o be_v to_o dote_v on_o she_o but_o to_o destroy_v she_o there_o be_v a_o old_a prophecy_n that_o antichrist_n shall_v never_o overcome_v paris_n nor_o venice_n nor_o london_n let_v we_o not_o be_v secure_a for_o if_o his_o soul_n have_v entertainment_n here_o his_o body_n will_v not_o tarry_v long_o after_o but_o some_o may_v say_v what_o salvation_n have_v the_o lord_n wrought_v for_o we_o what_o fruit_n be_v there_o of_o all_o the_o blood_n shed_v in_o england_n be_v not_o our_o condition_n as_o bad_a as_o ever_o nay_o in_o some_o sense_n worse_o the_o saint_n be_v unite_v be_v they_o not_o now_o divide_v how_o many_o professor_n be_v turn_v apostate_n nay_o persecutor_n and_o profane_a this_o be_v sad_a indeed_o and_o to_o be_v lament_v yet_o as_o the_o disciple_n do_v not_o wish_v the_o blood_n in_o christ_n vein_n again_o though_o they_o be_v distress_v by_o his_o death_n so_o i_o dare_v not_o say_v though_o in_o our_o distraction_n and_o among_o the_o blasphemy_n of_o this_o age_n man_n have_v lose_v his_o way_n that_o god_n have_v lose_v his_o end_n this_o be_v the_o support_n that_o as_o god_n have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n so_o he_o will_v carry_v on_o the_o building_n that_o as_o the_o
