Oh that my people had hearkened to me c. Dost not yet know it 's befallen thee as Ephraim Hos 13.1 9. Canst thou not remember where thou didst lose thy Crown that the way in which Ephraim got gray hairs Hos 7.8 to the end stole insensibly upon thee when men gathered thee John 15.6 when the present world was imbraced 2 Tim. 4.10 Was there not a time wherein thou followedst God as in a Land which was not sown Jer. 2.2 and thoughtst thou hadst gain enough in God and Godliness 1 Tim. 6.6 and thoughtst thou hadst enough of the world and couldst never get enough of God and hath not a time stolen upon thee wherein thou couldest never get enough of this world but hadst enough of God When thou turnedst thy back upon the succesful victorious way of Faith and tryedst the Carnal way of sence like the Nations Jer. 2.31 in Pride and Oppression staying thereon Isa 30.12 13 14. when the Word of the Lord grew a burthen to thee Jer. 6.10 11. when thou grewest zealous for thy utmost portion of earthly things and cold and indifferent in heavenly things Then thou mayest partly see thy work and the transgression thou hast exceeded Hast thou not in thy fulness also fallen into Sodoms snare Ezek. 16.49 Pride fulness of bread c. and been proud also of the Mountain or Temple of the Lord Jer. 7.4 under even the Nations transgressions Was zeal for Righteousness and sence of others cry in simplicity of Soul turned into insensibleness of others sufferings and satisfaction taken in self sensuality then mayst thou cry for a season at least and not be heard Prov. 21.13 Was successes abused to advance thy 〈…〉 in provoking the Lord to jealously Deut. 32.6 by lightness in Worship 1 Cor. 10.22 by breaking faith with the Enemy 2 Sam. 21.1 2 3. and oppressing thy Brethren too at the same time thinking to build Zion with blood Mich. 3.10 11. wherefore it is now plowed as a field c. and to settle on the lees Zeph. 1.12 13. when thou hadst gotten greatness and lands Deut. 6.11 12. blessing those that so steered backward Ps 10.3 or at least not mourning over these and such like departings and evils Ezek. 9.4 then is our work now best to be as Eze. 7.16 21.12 Ezr. 10.6 to come to the Valley of Achor stoning in our selves and others these troubling transgressions and to be humbled deeply if the Lord seem to give us a divorce as Jer. 11.15 Hos 2.15 And if any of you have got riches not by right and now leave them in the midst of your dayes or if you with-held and it tendeth to penury lay your hand on your mouth Jer. 17.11 Prov. 11.24 if by any hint thou seest thy sickness and thy wound do not do now as Hos 5.13 Isa 31.1 57.9 but try the good old way following wherein never any yet fail'd of finding effect who attained to it in truth Deut. 4.29 Hos 6.1 14.2 3. Isa 10.20 Jer. 4.1 2 3 4. 31.18 19 20.
