deliverance_n itself_o the_o break_n of_o all_o the_o counsel_n of_o their_o enemy_n and_o the_o turn_n of_o all_o upon_o their_o own_o head_n and_o second_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v immanuel_n he_o be_v the_o worker_n of_o it_o now_o though_o there_o be_v but_o one_o main_a lesson_n that_o i_o purpose_v to_o handle_v yet_o there_o be_v three_o or_o four_o particular_n that_o i_o will_v hint_n and_o but_o little_a more_o than_o name_n one_o be_v that_o although_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v these_o assyrian_n upon_o his_o people_n and_o deliver_v his_o people_n into_o their_o hand_n yet_o their_o rage_n and_o cruelty_n and_o fury_n against_o his_o church_n do_v move_v god_n to_o turn_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o though_o he_o have_v employ_v they_o to_o afflict_v and_o chastise_v his_o people_n that_o the_o more_o rage_n and_o fury_n be_v in_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n the_o soon_o do_v the_o lord_n compassionate_a the_o 32._o misery_n of_o his_o church_n there_o be_v very_o many_o example_n of_o it_o in_o the_o 32._o deuter._n i_o say_v i_o will_v scatter_v they_o speak_v of_o the_o rebellion_n of_o his_o people_n which_o have_v anger_v he_o i_o say_v say_v he_o i_o will_v even_o scatter_v they_o into_o corner_n i_o will_v make_v the_o remembrance_n of_o they_o to_o cease_v from_o among_o man_n be_v it_o not_o that_o i_o fear_v the_o fury_n of_o their_o enemy_n that_o he_o will_v exalt_v himself_o too_o much_o against_o they_o senacherib_n be_v a_o famous_a instance_n of_o this_o isaiah_n 10._o god_n have_v stir_v he_o up_o to_o go_v against_o his_o people_n to_o take_v the_o spoil_n of_o they_o and_o to_o tread_v they_o down_o as_o the_o mire_n in_o the_o street_n but_o senacherib_n rage_n grow_v high_a he_o will_v destroy_v and_o utter_o cut_v they_o off_o he_o will_v do_v to_o jerusalem_n as_o he_o have_v do_v to_o samaria_n but_o even_o therefore_o do_v god_n compassionate_v his_o people_n and_o ruin_v this_o proud_a adversary_n so_o likewise_o zach._n 1._o 14_o 15_o 16._o etc._n etc._n god_n be_v a_o little_a angry_a and_o displease_v with_o his_o people_n and_o the_o enemy_n help_v forward_o the_o affliction_n but_o therefore_o be_v god_n sore_o displease_v with_o their_o enemy_n and_o even_o therefore_o do_v he_o return_v to_o jerusalem_n with_o mercy_n thus_o you_o see_v god_n compassionate_v the_o misery_n of_o his_o people_n the_o more_o the_o rage_n and_o fury_n of_o the_o adversary_n be_v application_n kindl_v against_o they_o and_o therefore_o to_o apply_v this_o in_o a_o word_n or_o two_o that_o which_o be_v to_o many_o in_o these_o day_n be_v a_o wonderful_a discouragement_n of_o heart_n i_o think_v rather_o shall_v to_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o hope_n to_o we_o i_o mean_v the_o extreme_a rage_n and_o fury_n which_o appear_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o most_o wicked_a man_n against_o such_o as_o fear_v god_n i_o believe_v there_o be_v never_o so_o much_o blood_n nor_o wrath_n rage_n nor_o fury_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n people_n as_o be_v this_o day_n to_o be_v find_v they_o fear_v not_o to_o speak_v it_o out_o that_o not_o a_o man_n of_o they_o shall_v live_v in_o the_o kingdom_n when_o once_o power_n come_v into_o their_o hand_n they_o hope_v the_o day_n be_v come_v and_o they_o make_v account_n to_o do_v as_o pharaoh_n say_v he_o will_v do_v when_o he_o follow_v the_o israelite_n into_o 9_o the_o red_a sea_n i_o will_v now_o overtake_v they_o my_o wrath_n shall_v be_v now_o satisfy_v to_o the_o full_a upon_o they_o now_o who_o know_v but_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v his_o people_n the_o more_o good_a for_o this_o as_o david_n say_v of_o shimei_n when_o he_o curse_v he_o and_o they_o will_v have_v have_v he_o take_v off_o his_o

that_o think_v to_o tread_v his_o people_n down_o the_o more_o will_v god_n lay_v their_o insolency_n to_o his_o heart_n again_o you_o may_v observe_v here_o with_o what_o scorn_n and_o enemy_n contempt_n the_o lord_n do_v speak_v of_o all_o the_o preparation_n of_o man_n against_o his_o people_n here_o be_v a_o mighty_a army_n list_v and_o rally_v gather_v together_o meet_v at_o their_o rendezvouz_n yea_o come_v into_o the_o kingdom_n and_o make_v account_n to_o carry_v all_o before_o they_o but_o how_o disdainful_o the_o lord_n speak_v of_o all_o their_o preparation_n associate_n yourselves_o go_v your_o way_n on_o you_o think_v to_o do_v a_o great_a act_n you_o make_v account_n to_o carry_v all_o but_o it_o will_v not_o do_v it_o will_v not_o stand_v poor_a peoplel_n you_o reckon_v without_o your_o host_n thus_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o prophet_n say_v sit_v in_o heaven_n and_o laugh_v 22._o at_o they_o he_o scorn_v all_o their_o preparation_n that_o they_o make_v against_o his_o servant_n and_o true_o the_o name_n of_o it_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o make_v the_o same_o use_n of_o it_o that_o luther_n do_v application_n sure_o say_v he_o if_o jesus_n christ_n sit_v in_o heaven_n and_o laugh_v at_o they_o we_o shall_v be_v foolish_a on_o earth_n to_o sit_v and_o cry_v for_o fear_n of_o they_o for_o christ_n well_o enough_o know_v what_o they_o can_v do_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v let_v we_o never_o tremble_v at_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n laugh_v at_o observe_v further_o that_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v think_v upon_o deliverance_n for_o his_o afflict_a people_n it_o be_v nothing_o of_o their_o worth_n but_o only_o 3._o the_o interest_n of_o immanuel_n which_o prevail_v with_o god_n here_o the_o lord_n have_v stir_v up_o a_o enemy_n to_o come_v against_o they_o and_o they_o come_v and_o when_o they_o think_v to_o do_v great_a matter_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o let_v they_o but_o will_v turn_v all_o upon_o their_o own_o head_n and_o why_o for_o immanuel_n immanuel_n be_v interest_v in_o it_o not_o the_o worthiness_n of_o god_n people_n as_o he_o often_o say_v it_o be_v it_o know_v to_o you_o i_o do_v nothing_o of_o all_o this_o for_o your_o sake_n be_v you_o ashamed_a and_o confound_v it_o be_v for_o my_o own_o name_n sake_n which_o i_o work_v for_o i_o regard_v the_o glory_n of_o my_o son_n christ_n interest_n will_v bring_v deliverance_n when_o the_o unworthiness_n of_o the_o church_n will_v rather_o call_v for_o vengeance_n it_o be_v true_a god_n dear_o love_v his_o people_n they_o be_v to_o he_o as_o the_o apple_n of_o his_o eye_n kingdom_n and_o nation_n be_v nothing_o to_o he_o in_o comparison_n of_o his_o people_n but_o it_o be_v no_o worth_n in_o they_o nothing_o of_o their_o own_o which_o commend_v they_o to_o he_o they_o often_o lie_v in_o their_o blood_n which_o yet_o be_v a_o time_n of_o love_n to_o he_o and_o shall_v he_o forbear_v heal_v and_o help_v till_o their_o worthiness_n call_v for_o deliverance_n it_o will_v never_o come_v it_o be_v that_o love_n wherewith_o he_o have_v love_v they_o in_o immanuel_n which_o application_n bring_v all_o therefore_o though_o we_o shall_v be_v humble_v and_o even_o tremble_v at_o the_o thought_n of_o our_o present_a unworthiness_n yet_o shall_v god_n people_n comfortable_o hope_v and_o wait_v that_o for_o christ_n interest_n in_o our_o

in_o

this_o river_n the_o lord_n shadow_n out_o the_o kingdom_n of_o zion_n and_o the_o house_n of_o david_n which_o now_o be_v in_o a_o mean_a and_o low_a estate_n and_o therefore_o despise_v by_o those_o

this_o sin_n of_o their_o unbelief_n and_o rely_v upon_o a_o arm_n of_o flesh_n the_o king_n of_o assyria_n be_v this_o judgement_n to_o come_v upon_o they_o then_o second_o here_o be_v the_o judgement_n which_o therefore_o shall_v come_v upon_o they_o because_o that_o little_a river_n of_o shiloah_n will_v 2._o not_o in_o their_o esteem_n do_v they_o good_a will_v not_o comfort_v they_o the_o lord_n will_v bring_v they_o water_n broad_a enough_o foreign_a water_n such_o as_o they_o desire_v but_o little_a for_o their_o good_a he_o will_v bring_v the_o assyrian_a upon_o they_o he_o who_o they_o trust_v in_o to_o be_v their_o deliverer_n shall_v come_v in_o and_o be_v their_o spoil_n now_o therefore_o behold_v the_o lord_n bring_v upon_o they_o the_o water_n of_o the_o river_n strong_a and_o many_o even_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n and_o all_o his_o glory_n and_o he_o shall_v come_v up_o over_o all_o his_o channel_n and_o go_v over_o all_o his_o bank_n and_o he_o shall_v pass_v through_o judah_n he_o shall_v overflow_v and_o go_v over_o he_o shall_v reach_v even_o to_o the_o neck_n and_o the_o stretch_v out_o of_o his_o wing_n shall_v fill_v the_o breadth_n of_o thy_o land_n oh_o emmanuel_n this_o terrible_a judgement_n be_v lay_v down_o in_o two_o comparison_n one_o of_o a_o great_a river_n or_o the_o sea_n that_o have_v break_v over_o all_o his_o bank_n a_o flood_n shall_v spread_v over_o all_o their_o land_n and_o reach_v up_o to_o the_o very_a neck_n the_o other_o comparison_n be_v of_o a_o eagle_n or_o fowl_n of_o prey_n he_o shall_v come_v and_o spread_v his_o wing_n over_o the_o breadth_n of_o the_o whole_a land_n the_o whole_a land_n of_o judea_n shall_v at_o one_o time_n be_v overspread_v by_o the_o mighty_a army_n that_o senacherib_n who_o they_o expect_v to_o be_v their_o saviour_n shall_v bring_v upon_o they_o with_o a_o purpose_n to_o destroy_v they_o and_o in_o the_o close_a of_o this_o threaten_a there_o be_v a_o elegant_a apostrophe_n he_o turn_v his_o speech_n to_o christ_n he_o shall_v spread_v his_o wing_n over_o the_o breadth_n of_o thy_o land_n o_o immanuel_n though_o it_o be_v thy_o land_n and_o thy_o people_n o_o emmanuel_n yet_o because_o of_o their_o unbelief_n all_o this_o shall_v come_v upon_o they_o this_o turn_n of_o his_o speech_n to_o christ_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o indignity_n to_o christ_n that_o his_o land_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o his_o land_n shall_v be_v waste_v by_o such_o a_o wicked_a king_n but_o this_o appear_v to_o be_v add_v for_o two_o end_n one_o to_o signify_v the_o certainty_n of_o the_o judgement_n all_o that_o can_v possible_o be_v plead_v why_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o hope_n of_o keep_v off_o the_o judgement_n be_v emmanuel_n title_n to_o this_o land_n but_o it_o shall_v come_v though_o it_o be_v emmanuel_n land_n second_o this_o be_v add_v as_o a_o secret_a ground_n of_o comfort_n of_o deliverance_n because_o it_o be_v the_o land_n of_o emmanuel_n the_o land_n and_o people_n where_o emmanuel_n be_v to_o be_v bear_v and_o where_o he_o be_v to_o reign_v where_o he_o have_v and_o will_v have_v his_o fire_n and_o furnace_n his_o seat_n ●nd_v habitation_n therefore_o their_o faith_n may_v expect_v deliverance_n these_o be_v the_o two_o first_o part_n of_o the_o chapter_n now_o my_o text_n contain_v the_o three_o which_o be_v the_o deliverance_n which_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v they_o notwithstanding_o their_o great_a unworthiness_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o that_o let_v i_o name_v this_o one_o lesson_n from_o the_o other_o two_o part_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v ordinary_a with_o god_n when_o his_o people_n do_v observ._n forsake_v his_o promise_n and_o trust_v to_o a_o arm_n of_o flesh_n he_o make_v that_o arm_n of_o flesh_n to_o be_v their_o scourge_n which_o they_o expect_v to_o be_v their_o helper_n they_o have_v nothing_o that_o they_o will_v trust_v to_o against_o these_o two_o neighbour_a kingdom_n but_o the_o power_n of_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n and_o this_o king_n of_o assyria_n shall_v be_v their_o scourge_n to_o beat_v and_o almost_o to_o break_v they_o in_o piece_n which_o be_v

king_n of_o assyria_n come_v to_o he_o and_o distress_v he_o but_o strengthen_v he_o not_o he_o help_v he_o not_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v that_o when_o we_o do_v trust_n either_o to_o any_o

to_o be_v handle_v more_o full_o but_o the_o time_n will_v not_o allow_v it_o i_o come_v now_o therefore_o to_o that_o only_a lesson_n that_o i_o intend_v more_o full_a to_o insist_v upon_o and_o that_o be_v this_o immanuel_n our_o bless_a saviour_n do_v turn_v all_o the_o plot_n it_o and_o conspiracy_n that_o be_v against_o his_o church_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o contriver_n and_o make_v they_o for_o the_o salvation_n and_o deliverance_n of_o his_o people_n that_o be_v the_o lesson_n that_o all_o the_o association_n and_o plot_n that_o be_v against_o god_n people_n jesus_n christ_n do_v so_o order_v the_o matter_n that_o etc._n in_o the_o result_n and_o event_n they_o shall_v be_v all_o turn_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o adversary_n and_o for_o the_o welfare_n of_o those_o that_o be_v his_o servant_n there_o be_v no_o one_o argument_n in_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n more_o frequent_o repeat_v in_o various_a instance_n than_o this_o doctrine_n which_o i_o have_v propound_v that_o of_o egypt_n of_o sisera_n of_o senacherib_n of_o haman_n of_o the_o conspiracy_n against_o christ_n and_o a_o hundred_o other_o more_o some_o relate_v to_o the_o church_n in_o general_a some_o relate_v to_o particular_a godly_a man_n in_o all_o of_o they_o the_o lord_n have_v ever_o make_v it_o good_a that_o the_o mischief_n intend_v text_n against_o his_o people_n turn_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o contriver_n but_o to_o make_v it_o a_o little_a clear_a to_o you_o i_o pray_v you_o note_v these_o four_o or_o five_o conclusion_n which_o all_o lie_n in_o my_o text_n first_o 1._o that_o all_o the_o plot_n and_o conspiracy_n that_o wicked_a man_n people_n have_v against_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o contrive_n of_o they_o here_o be_v senacherib_n he_o and_o his_o people_n have_v confederate_v and_o associate_v in_o this_o plot_n but_o god_n send_v he_o verse_n 7._o now_o therefore_o the_o church_n lord_n bring_v upon_o they_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n the_o lord_n have_v determine_v how_o far_o he_o shall_v go_v how_o he_o shall_v spread_v over_o all_o the_o land_n and_o his_o water_n shall_v reach_v up_o to_o the_o neck_n in_o the_o next_o chapter_n but_o one_o in_o the_o 10_o isa._n god_n say_v of_o he_o i_o send_v he_o against_o they_o though_o he_o do_v not_o think_v so_o so_o also_o in_o the_o 4._o of_o micah_n many_o nation_n be_v gather_v together_o against_o thou_o etc._n etc._n but_o it_o follow_v present_o i_o gather_v they_o as_o sheaf_n so_o in_o the_o famous_a case_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n herod_n and_o pontius_n pilate_n with_o the_o 28._o gentile_n and_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v gather_v together_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o against_o his_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v to_o do_v what_o god_n hand_n and_o counsel_n have_v before_o determine_v to_o be_v do_v second_o in_o this_o contrivement_n jesus_n christ_n intend_v one_o thing_n 2._o and_o the_o enemy_n intend_v another_o thing_n each_o of_o they_o thing_n work_v according_a to_o their_o own_o principle_n that_o you_o have_v plain_a here_o the_o assyrian_a come_v in_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o swallow_v up_o all_o the_o lord_n intent_n be_v that_o he_o himself_o and_o all_o his_o company_n shall_v be_v break_v to_o piece_n thus_o joseph_n brethren_n think_v evil_a against_o he_o but_o god_n mean_v good_a to_o he_o thus_o pharaoh_n intend_v the_o extirpation_n of_o israel_n by_o that_o which_o god_n intend_v their_o propagation_n 13._o thus_o haman_n intend_v the_o ruin_n of_o mordecai_n and_o all_o the_o jew_n when_o god_n intend_v light_a and_o gladness_n and_o a_o good_a day_n to_o they_o thus_o the_o nation_n micah_n 4._o intend_v to_o tread_v down_o zion_n when_o god_n intend_v they_o themselves_o shall_v be_v thresh_v out_o and_o a_o hundred_o example_n more_o may_v be_v give_v but_o i_o can_v only_o point_v at_o these_o thing_n three_o that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v very_o frequent_o let_v the_o design_n 3._o of_o the_o adversary_n of_o his_o church_n go_v on_o with_o a_o great_a end_n deal_n of_o success_n and_o prosperity_n until_o they_o think_v themselves_o cocksure_a of_o the_o whole_a business_n this_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o text_n here_o they_o come_v with_o such_o a_o mighty_a army_n that_o they_o make_v no_o question_n of_o carry_v all_o before_o they_o make_v account_v all_o be_v their_o own_o thus_o pharaoh_n go_v 9_o on_o till_o he_o be_v confident_a his_o wrath_n shall_v be_v satisfy_v upon_o they_o exod._n 15._o so_o haman_n have_v get_v his_o decree_n sign_v by_o the_o king_n letter_n which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o persia_n be_v irrevocable_a thus_o be_v peter_n keep_v in_o prison_n until_o the_o very_a 7._o night_n before_o he_o shall_v be_v execute_v and_o so_o in_o abundance_n of_o other_o design_n against_o the_o church_n you_o may_v see_v the_o like_a though_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o sometime_o the_o lord_n crush_v they_o in_o the_o egg_n and_o will_v not_o let_v they_o break_v out_o into_o serpent_n yet_o very_o often_o as_o we_o say_v in_o the_o gunpowder-treason_n there_o want_v nothing_o but_o to_o put_v the_o match_n to_o the_o powder_n and_o the_o blow_n have_v be_v give_v so_o god_n let_v the_o plot_n and_o contrivement_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o his_o church_n go_v on_o until_o they_o make_v account_n that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o stop_v they_o or_o to_o prevent_v they_o so_o that_o if_o god_n people_n be_v deliver_v their_o soul_n must_v escape_v as_o a_o bird_n out_o of_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o fowler_n the_o next_o conclusion_n be_v that_o when_o the_o enemy_n make_v account_v all_o be_v sure_a that_o 4._o they_o question_v not_o but_o the_o day_n be_v their_o own_o than_o do_v etc._n the_o lord_n in_o some_o unexpected_a way_n dash_v all_o their_o plot_n bring_v they_o to_o nothing_o thus_o god_n defeat_v pharaoh_n exod._n 15._o thus_o be_v haman_n defeat_v thus_o be_v the_o conspiracy_n against_o paul_n defeat_v acts._n 26._o a_o hundred_o instance_n may_v be_v give_v but_o i_o shall_v only_o open_v one_o similitude_n which_o god_n use_v to_o set_v down_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o nineveh_n nahum_n 1._o 10._o nineveh_n be_v then_o the_o head_n of_o this_o assyrian_a empire_n and_o god_n express_v the_o ruin_n of_o nineveh_n thus_o when_o they_o be_v folden_a together_o like_o thorn_n and_o when_o they_o be_v drunken_a like_o drunkard_n then_o shall_v they_o be_v devour_v as_o stubble_n full_o dry_v that_o be_v when_o their_o plot_n be_v curious_o weave_v and_o set_v so_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v dare_v to_o touch_v they_o no_o more_o than_o he_o will_v touch_v a_o wreath_n of_o thorn_n they_o have_v so_o contrive_v the_o business_n that_o they_o will_v fain_o see_v the_o man_n that_o dare_v appear_v against_o they_o they_o be_v fold_v together_o as_o thorn_n and_o when_o they_o be_v drunken_a like_o drunkard_n that_o be_v they_o be_v drunken_a with_o pride_n and_o confidence_n of_o their_o success_n they_o can_v hardly_o speak_v or_o go_v they_o be_v so_o drunken_a with_o confidence_n when_o they_o be_v come_v thus_o to_o the_o top_n then_o shall_v they_o be_v devour_v like_o dry_a stubble_n some_o way_n or_o other_o fire_n will_v be_v put_v to_o the_o thatch_n of_o the_o house_n and_o set_v it_o burn_v and_o in_o a_o moment_n all_o be_v go_v off_o thus_o when_o the_o enemy_n be_v come_v in_o like_o a_o flood_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n lift_v up_o a_o standard_n against_o he_o thus_o god_n delight_v to_o take_v his_o time_n when_o 19_o they_o be_v at_o the_o high_a and_o fear_v the_o least_o than_o god_n break_v their_o design_n the_o last_o conclusion_n be_v that_o when_o god_n break_v their_o design_n he_o delight_v to_o 5._o break_v themselves_o not_o only_o to_o frustrate_v their_o design_n also_o but_o to_o ruin_v they_o too_o and_o deliver_v his_o people_n so_o it_o be_v here_o associate_n yourselves_o gather_v yourselves_o gird_v yourselves_o take_v counsel_n but_o still_o you_o shall_v be_v break_v to_o piece_n you_o shall_v be_v break_v to_o piece_n you_o shall_v be_v break_v to_o piece_n three_o time_n it_o be_v in_o one_o verse_n all_o break_n to_o piece_n ruin_n and_o destruction_n to_o they_o and_o salvation_n and_o deliverance_n to_o god_n
