a_o city_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o application_n 1._o what_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o city_n city_n may_v be_v take_v here_o either_o proper_o or_o improper_o proper_o for_o the_o row_n of_o house_n the_o street_n of_o house_n as_o they_o be_v compass_v in_o with_o wall_n which_o be_v the_o habitation_n of_o citizen_n the_o city_n for_o the_o house_n of_o the_o city_n and_o than_o

double_a synecdoche_n to_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o word_n city_n 1._o city_n be_v here_o take_v for_o the_o thing_n and_o person_n in_o the_o city_n be_v there_o any_o evil_n in_o a_o city_n that_o be_v do_v there_o any_o evil_a befall_v the_o citizen_n of_o the_o city_n or_o any_o concernment_n of_o the_o citizen_n and_o then_o there_o be_v another_o synecdoche_n of_o the_o part_n for_o the_o whole_a the_o city_n may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o kingdom_n as_o be_v part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n nay_o it_o may_v be_v take_v for_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o be_v part_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o the_o sense_n will_v be_v thus_o be_v there_o any_o evil_n in_o a_o whole_a kingdom_n be_v there_o any_o evil_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o i_o have_v do_v it_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n ow_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v of_o punishment_n i_o shall_v show_v present_o that_o have_v be_v in_o the_o world_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o it_o to_o the_o end_n but_o then_o we_o must_v in_o the_o 2d_o place_n see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o evil_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v well_o inform_v hereof_o there_o be_v therefore_o my_o brethren_n two_o sort_n of_o evil_n which_o we_o must_v careful_o distinguish_v 1._o there_o be_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o 2_o there_o be_v the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n the_o evil_a of_o sin_n that_o be_v any_o transgression_n of_o or_o any_o nonconformity_n to_o the_o righteous_a law_n of_o god_n this_o be_v proper_o evil_a the_o evil_a of_o sin_n yea_o the_o great_a evil_n in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v no_o evil_n of_o what_o kind_n soever_o that_o be_v to_o be_v compare_v with_o this_o great_a evil_n of_o sin_n now_o my_o brethren_n in_o this_o sense_n you_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o understand_v the_o prophet_n god_n do_v not_o here_o say_v or_o the_o prophet_n do_v not_o here_o say_v be_v there_o any_o evil_n of_o sin_n in_o a_o city_n but_o i_o have_v do_v it_o no_o god_n forbid_v this_o be_v the_o high_a blasphemy_n in_o the_o world_n to_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o city_n he_o will_v be_v a_o strange_a god_n if_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o london_n sin_n and_o all_o england_n sin_n and_o all_o the_o world_n sin_n this_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o the_o sin_n in_o a_o city_n or_o in_o the_o world_n that_o he_o never_o commit_v any_o sin_n since_o this_o world_n be_v the_o world_n have_v have_v experience_n of_o god_n for_o near_o six_o thousand_o year_n but_o they_o never_o find_v god_n guilty_a of_o sin_n guilty_a of_o any_o unrighteousness_n god_n in_o upbraid_v his_o people_n israel_n he_o do_v make_v use_n of_o this_o you_o have_v depart_v from_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o why_o be_v you_o depart_v from_o i_o what_o cause_n have_v i_o

jer._n 2.5_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n what_o iniquity_n have_v your_o father_n find_v in_o i_o that_o they_o be_v go_v from_o i_o and_o have_v walk_v after_o vanity_n and_o be_v become_v vain_a what_o iniquity_n your_o father_n never_o find_v any_o iniquity_n in_o god_n no_o nor_o you_o neither_o the_o righteous_a god_n never_o be_v guilty_a from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o this_o time_n of_o any_o unrighteousness_n to_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n no_o here_o be_v a_o challenge_n as_o to_o all_o generation_n if_o they_o can_v tell_v any_o unrighteous_a work_n or_o any_o

god_n will_v take_v it_o better_o at_o thy_o hand_n if_o thou_o will_v reform_v in_o a_o wicked_a city_n than_o if_o the_o whole_a city_n be_v general_o good_a why_o because_o the_o service_n be_v
