but_o by_o that_o course_n that_o i_o have_v prescribe_v and_o second_o that_o god_n use_v not_o to_o give_v a_o merciful_a and_o a_o comfortable_a deliverance_n unto_o any_o but_o those_o that_o seek_v unto_o he_o in_o that_o way_n it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n when_o god_n remove_v his_o judgement_n before_o we_o remove_v our_o sin_n when_o the_o case_n be_v with_o we_o as_o reverend_a

it_o prove_v not_o our_o case_n there_o be_v cause_n enough_o for_o we_o to_o tremble_v at_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o the_o departure_n of_o calamity_n from_o we_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o little_o they_o have_v wrought_v upon_o we_o but_o to_o the_o purpose_n take_v it_o in_o these_o four_o branch_n first_o there_o be_v no_o obtain_n of_o mercy_n and_o favour_n from_o god_n which_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o our_o comfortable_a and_o true_a blessing_n and_o deliverance_n but_o by_o humiliation_n for_o sin_n past_a second_o repentance_n or_o conversion_n from_o sin_n unto_o

see_v isa_n 22.12_o 13._o and_o many_o other_o place_n where_o god_n lay_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o continuance_n and_o increase_n of_o his_o fury_n upon_o the_o want_n of_o this_o and_o if_o we_o search_v the_o whole_a scripture_n and_o the_o history_n of_o god_n deal_n with_o the_o several_a people_n of_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v never_o find_v that_o god_n be_v ever_o reconcile_v to_o
