age_n god_n only_o know_v when_o it_o be_v he_o limit_v a_o certain_a day_n say_v in_o david_n to_o day_n after_o so_o long_a a_o time_n heb._n 4.7_o after_o which_o if_o they_o will_v come_v to_o repentance_n they_o will_v be_v hardly_o admit_v so_o in_o the_o forego_n part_n of_o life_n there_o be_v a_o certain_a day_n from_o which_o day_n forward_o god_n will_v call_v in_o question_n and_o to_o account_v and_o so_o of_o every_o day_n after_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil._n and_o this_o i_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o ground_n upon_o as_o assure_o gather_v from_o another_o conjectural_a scripture_n as_o i_o phrase_v it_o which_o be_v the_o conclude_a part_n of_o the_o speech_n of_o the_o town-clerk_n of_o ephesus_n for_o we_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v call_v in_o question_n for_o this_o day_n voroar_n there_o be_v no_o cause_n whereby_o we_o may_v give_v a_o account_n of_o this_o day_n conoourse_n act_n 19.40_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n i_o allege_v and_o reason_n that_o we_o be_v not_o so_o much_o in_o danger_n which_o denote_v doubt_n and_o uncertainty_n whether_o it_o will_v be_v so_o or_o not_o and_o probable_o for_o all_o he_o speak_v thus_o they_o be_v never_o call_v in_o question_n for_o the_o same_o as_o we_o read_v of_o but_o i_o go_v on_o to_o add_v that_o we_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v be_v certain_o call_v in_o question_n for_o this_o day_n and_o so_o of_o all_o the_o past_a day_n after_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o so_o of_o all_o the_o follow_a day_n for_o each_o day_n action_n and_o deed_n do_v in_o the_o body_n yea_o for_o the_o thought_n of_o heart_n and_o for_o the_o word_n of_o our_o tongue_n for_o they_o must_v be_v give_v account_n of_o according_a to_o mat._n 12.35_o 36_o 37._o and_o whether_o there_o be_v a_o cause_n or_o no_o cause_n for_o the_o same_o yet_o of_o every_o thing_n we_o must_v give_v account_n many_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o slender_a foundation_n to_o build_v so_o great_a a_o truth_n and_o assertion_n upon_o as_o that_o here_o be_v for_o the_o town-clerk_n of_o ephesus_n be_v a_o heathen_a and_o a_o worshipper_n of_o the_o great_a goddess_n diana_n and_o he_o say_v this_o as_o to_o a_o temporal_a matter_n and_o when_o he_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n he_o think_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o the_o future_a judgement_n of_o god_n how_o then_o can_v thou_o bring_v this_o say_v of_o his_o to_o manifest_v a_o great_a truth_n of_o god_n as_o to_o declare_v his_o decree_n of_o eternal_a judgement_n to_o be_v on_o that_o wise_a as_o thou_o have_v here_o affirm_v it_o why_o therefore_o mistake_v i_o not_o i_o do_v only_o allude_v to_o those_o his_o word_n but._n i_o do_v in_o no_o wise_a bring_v they_o for_o proof_n and_o confirmation_n of_o this_o position_n of_o the_o extensiveness_n and_o comprehensiveness_n of_o the_o future_a judgement_n for_o indeed_o they_o be_v no_o proof_n at_o all_o or_o at_o least_o a_o very_a slender_a one_o only_o from_o the_o parity_n and_o likeness_n of_o the_o proceed_n in_o humane_a court_n of_o judicatory_a with_o those_o of_o the_o last_o and_o great_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o which_o indeed_o there_o be_v some_o similitude_n for_o the_o great_a judge_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n will_v proceed_v against_o all_o mankind_n with_o the_o same_o measure_n of_o justice_n as_o they_o now_o do_v one_o to_o another_o for_o he_o give_v they_o knowledge_n thus_o to_o proceed_v and_o judge_v and_o from_o the_o same_o reason_v shall_v not_o he_o that_o teach_v man_n knowledge_n know_v it_o may_v be_v certain_o conclude_v for_o he_o often_o make_v such_o comparison_n and_o resemblance_n that_o he_o will_v so_o deal_v with_o we_o creature_n in_o righteousness_n justice_n and_o equity_n psal_n 98.9_o as_o be_v now_o common_o use_v in_o court_n of_o judicatory_a when_o they_o proceed_v according_a to_o the_o true_a and_o exact_a rule_n thereof_o but_o similitude_n do_v illustrate_v and_o not_o prove_v but_o here_o we_o have_v no_o need_n thereof_o for_o let_v alone_o that_o say_v of_o the_o town-clerk_n of_o ephesus_n which_o i_o only_o mention_v because_o his_o word_n do_v so_o apposite_o express_v forth_o our_o subject_n in_o hand_n and_o so_o plain_o that_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o mean_a capacity_n we_o have_v beside_o sundry_a express_v plain_a and_o full_a place_n of_o undoubted_a scripture_n which_o make_v know_v the_o comprehensiveness_n and_o extensiveness_n of_o the_o future_a judgement_n as_o have_v be_v afore-affirmed_n as_o also_o herein_o differ_v the_o future_a judgement_n of_o god_n from_o human_a assize_n or_o session_n or_o common_a court_n of_o judgement_n for_o many_o thing_n be_v here_o do_v on_o this_o earth_n whereof_o no_o notice_n or_o cognizance_n at_o all_o be_v take_v at_o assize_n session_n court-leet_n or_o such_o like_a and_o then_o also_o they_o do_v only_o take_v notice_n of_o some_o misfesance_n nuisance_n evil_a prejudice_n or_o harm_n either_o as_o to_o the_o society_n of_o mankind_n or_o as_o relate_v to_o property_n which_o many_o time_n through_o bribery_n corruption_n partiality_n or_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o person_n do_v pass_v uncensured_a without_o animadversion_n or_o punishment_n and_o then_o they_o do_v not_o reward_v those_o that_o do_v well_o or_o who_o keep_v up_o the_o good_a and_o peace_n of_o community_n now_o herein_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a god_n supply_v what_o be_v want_v or_o

then_o as_o his_o providence_n do_v reach_v over_o sparrow_n for_o not_o one_o of_o they_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n without_o the_o will_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n as_o the_o hair_n of_o our_o
