sword_n and_o all_o misery_n but_o the_o godly_a when_o they_o be_v scatter_v they_o be_v scatter_v as_o a_o blessing_n into_o what_o country_n or_o town_n soever_o they_o come_v they_o come_v as_o a_o blessing_n they_o come_v like_o a_o ship_n lade_v with_o corn_n to_o a_o town_n ready_a to_o perish_v with_o famine_n they_o come_v as_o a_o blessing_n four_o way_n first_o they_o pray_v down_o a_o blessing_n on_o the_o place_n where_o they_o come_v second_o they_o come_v as_o a_o blessing_n by_o their_o holy_a life_n and_o conversation_n that_o be_v a_o loadstone_n to_o draw_v other_o to_o holiness_n three_o they_o come_v as_o a_o blessing_n by_o their_o holy_a advice_n and_o counsel_n that_o they_o give_v to_o the_o place_n where_o they_o come_v nay_o fourthly_a their_o very_a presence_n be_v a_o blessing_n as_o long_o as_o lot_n be_v in_o sodom_n sodom_n can_v not_o be_v destroy_v so_o long_o as_o paul_n be_v in_o the_o ship_n the_o 300_o can_v not_o be_v drown_v so_o that_o the_o godly_a come_v as_o a_o blessing_n wherever_o they_o be_v scatter_v but_o the_o wicked_a be_v as_o chaff_n scatter_v by_o the_o wind_n and_o they_o be_v scatter_v as_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n you_o know_v when_o the_o dust_n be_v scatter_v it_o get_v into_o man_n eye_n and_o blind_v they_o and_o fall_v upon_o their_o clothes_n and_o sully_n they_o so_o the_o wicked_a wherever_o they_o be_v scatter_v they_o defile_v the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v scatter_v the_o godly_a be_v as_o planet_n that_o wander_v &_o move_v from_o one_o part_n of_o heaven_n to_o another_o carrying_z light_n to_o the_o world_n second_o as_o the_o wicked_a be_v scatter_v while_o they_o live_v so_o when_o they_o die_v they_o be_v gather_v it_o be_v true_a but_o how_o not_o to_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o his_o angel_n but_o they_o be_v gather_v to_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o to_o damn_a spirit_n not_o as_o bundle_n of_o wheat_n in_o the_o barn_n of_o heaven_n but_o as_o bundle_n of_o tare_n to_o be_v burn_v for_o ever_o in_o everlasting_a fire_n now_o if_o the_o righteous_a perish_v as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o if_o their_o perish_a be_v nothing_o but_o a_o gather_n to_o god_n and_o christ_n then_o first_o learn_v hence_o the_o preciousness_n of_o every_o righteous_a man_n the_o great_a god_n will_v not_o gather_v thing_n of_o no_o value_n great_a man_n do_v not_o use_v to_o gather_v chaff_n and_o straw_n and_o therefore_o when_o christ_n say_v of_o josiah_n i_o will_v gather_v thou_o to_o thy_o father_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v a_o precious_a pearl_n worth_n the_o gather_n and_o of_o a_o high_a value_n and_o account_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v every_o true_a child_n of_o god_n right_a dear_a and_o precious_a be_v they_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n both_o live_n and_o die_v they_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o great_a price_n not_o with_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o other_o corruptible_a thing_n but_o they_o be_v buy_v with_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n they_o be_v as_o precious_a to_o god_n as_o thou_o apple_n of_o his_o eye_n so_o precious_a that_o he_o have_v give_v christ_n for_o they_o and_o to_o they_o so_o precious_a that_o he_o call_v they_o his_o jewel_n his_o peculiar_a treasure_n his_o jedidiah_n and_o therefore_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o perish_v but_o gather_v they_o to_o himself_o before_o the_o evil_a day_n come_v as_o the_o husbandman_n gather_v in_o the_o corn_n before_o the_o beast_n go_v out_o into_o the_o field_n second_o learn_v hear_v what_o reason_n we_o have_v to_o be_v comfort_v in_o the_o death_n of_o a_o righteous_a man_n or_o woman_n because_o their_o death_n be_v not_o a_o perish_a but_o a_o gather_n to_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o society_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n the_o death_n of_o a_o righteous_a man_n be_v no_o more_o than_o if_o a_o merchant_n that_o have_v abundance_n of_o jewel_n in_o a_o far_a country_n he_o shall_v send_v for_o the●_n home_o why_o death_n to_o a_o righteous_a man_n be_v nothing_o but_o god_n send_v for_o his_o jewel_n home_o such_o a_o phrase_n there_o be_v in_o mal._n 3.17_o in_o the_o day_n that_o i_o make_v up_o my_o jewel_n they_o shall_v be_v i_o in_o this_o life_n they_o be_v imperfect_a jewel_n they_o be_v like_o gold_n in_o the_o oar_n mingle_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o dross_n and_o death_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o perfection_n of_o the_o jewel_n death_n be_v nothing_o more_o and_o god_n do_v nothing_o by_o death_n but_o as_o a_o gold-sine_a gather_v up_o all_o his_o end_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n it_o be_v nothing_o but_o just_a as_o if_o a_o father_n shall_v send_v for_o his_o son_n home_o that_o have_v be_v a_o long_a time_n absent_a from_o he_o to_o his_o own_o house_n it_o be_v a_o carry_v we_o to_o our_o father_n house_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o be_v comfort_v when_o our_o righteous_a friend_n die_v though_o their_o death_n be_v matter_n of_o sorrow_n to_o we_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o loss_n that_o we_o sustain_v by_o their_o death_n and_o because_o their_o death_n be_v a_o warning-piece_n of_o evil_a to_o come_v yet_o in_o regard_n of_o they_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o mourn_v i_o speak_v this_o of_o those_o that_o be_v relate_v to_o the_o righteous_a when_o they_o die_v do_v you_o ever_o here_o of_o a_o husbandman_n that_o mourn_v for_o the_o carry_v in_o of_o his_o corn_n into_o the_o barn_n or_o a_o jeweller_n mourn_v for_o make_v up_o of_o his_o jewel_n let_v we_o mourn_v rather_o that_o we_o be_v lest_o scatter_a among_o the_o wicked_a of_o the_o earth_n and_o from_o the_o glorious_a presence_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o let_v we_o morn_n for_o those_o that_o be_v scatter_v from_o christ_n and_o from_o grace_n and_o for_o those_o that_o whilst_o they_o live_v be_v scatter_v and_o when_o they_o die_v be_v gather_v to_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n let_v we_o not_o mourn_v for_o those_o that_o die_v in_o christ_n but_o let_v we_o mourn_v for_o those_o that_o live_v out_o of_o christ_n let_v we_o not_o mourn_v over_o the_o body_n the_o soul_n have_v leave_v but_o let_v we_o mourn_v over_o the_o soul_n god_n have_v leave_v the_o three_o use_n be_v of_o consolation_n to_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o reference_n to_o evil_a time_n that_o be_v come_v upon_o we_o or_o to_o the_o evil_a of_o time_n whatever_o befall_v a_o child_n of_o god_n in_o this_o life_n though_o he_o be_v scatter_v by_o wicked_a man_n from_o england_n into_o foreign_a country_n though_o he_o wander_v up_o and_o down_o in_o desert_n and_o wilderness_n though_o he_o be_v scatter_v from_o house_n to_o prison_n yet_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o gather_a time_n short_o there_o will_v a_o time_n come_v when_o all_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v gather_v to_o christ_n and_o to_o one_o another_o never_o to_o part_v any_o more_o the_o death_n of_o god_n people_n be_v not_o a_o perish_a but_o a_o gather_n comfort_n yourselves_o therefore_o with_o these_o word_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n look_v upon_o death_n as_o a_o gather_n as_o a_o gather_n to_o christ_n you_o be_v here_o as_o daniel_n in_o the_o lion_n den_n as_o jeremiah_n in_o the_o dungeon_n yet_o there_o will_v come_v a_o gather_n and_o if_o you_o die_v in_o a_o good_a cause_n you_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o be_v gather_v to_o christ_n to_o his_o saint_n and_o angel_n but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o i_o be_v sure_a when_o i_o die_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v gather_v to_o christ_n to_o live_v for_o ever_o with_o he_o this_o will_v be_v matter_n of_o great_a consolation_n to_o i_o but_o you_o tell_v i_o the_o wicked_a be_v gather_v by_o death_n as_o well_o as_o the_o godly_a how_o shall_v i_o know_v whether_o when_o i_o come_v to_o die_v i_o shall_v be_v gather_v to_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n or_o to_o christ_n and_o his_o angel_n how_o shall_v i_o know_v whether_o i_o shall_v be_v gather_v at_o death_n as_o a_o bundle_n of_o tear_n to_o be_v burn_v in_o hell_n or_o a_o bundle_n of_o wheat_n to_o be_v carry_v up_o into_o the_o barn_n of_o heaven_n i_o answer_v you_o may_v

out_o do_v not_o kill_v my_o father_n such_o be_v the_o love_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n to_o the_o ark_n that_o they_o can_v be_v silent_a they_o can_v but_o tremble_v when_o they_o see_v the_o ark_n in_o danger_n and_o for_o zion_n sake_n the_o can_v hold_v their_o peace_n and_o they_o can_v be_v silent_a until_o the_o lord_n make_v the_o righteous_a thereof_o go_v out_o like_a brightness_n

now_o interest_n stir_v up_o affection_n as_o when_o another_o man_n house_n be_v on_o fire_n as_o you_o have_v a_o lamentable_a and_o sad_a providence_n this_o last_o week_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v forget_v how_o sudden_o in_o all_o our_o feast_n may_v god_n dash_v all_o our_o mirth_n now_o consider_v how_o be_v they_o affect_v that_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o those_o that_o be_v burn_v so_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o ark._n god_n be_v the_o haven_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n the_o portion_n and_o inheritance_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o when_o god_n begin_v to_o forsake_v they_o they_o can_v but_o be_v afflict_v and_o trouble_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v the_o jewel_n of_o a_o christian_a &_o the_o treasure_n of_o a_o

be_v much_o afflict_v at_o it_o 3._o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o trouble_v when_o the_o ark_n be_v in_o danger_n because_o of_o the_o mischief_n that_o come_v upon_o a_o nation_n when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v lose_v woe_n be_v to_o that_o nation_n when_o the_o ark_n be_v go_v the_o heathen_n have_v the_o image_n of_o apollo_n and_o they_o conceive_v that_o as_o long_o as_o

god_n be_v take_v than_o the_o way_n of_o zion_n mourn_v and_o none_o come_v to_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n it_o be_v the_o complaint_n of_o the_o church_n lam._n 1.4_o that_o be_v matter_n of_o sadness_n 2._o when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v take_v than_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n be_v drive_v into_o corner_n and_o this_o be_v matter_n of_o heart-trembling_a 3._o when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v take_v than_o the_o soul_n of_o many_o be_v in_o danger_n when_o the_o gospel_n be_v go_v your_o soul_n be_v in_o hazard_n there_o be_v cause_n of_o sadness_n 4._o then_o do_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n blaspheme_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v where_o be_v your_o god_n then_o do_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n triumph_n ps_n 42.10_o as_o with_o a_o sword_n in_o my_o bone_n my_o enemy_n reproach_v i_o while_o they_o say_v daily_o unto_o i_o where_o be_v thy_o god_n 5._o then_o be_v jesus_n christ_n trample_v under_o foot_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n defile_v and_o trample_v on_o and_o then_o blasphemy_n and_o atheism_n come_v in_o like_o a_o arm_a man_n 4._o the_o people_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o tremble_v when_o the_o ark_n be_v in_o danger_n because_o of_o their_o accessariness_n to_o the_o lose_n of_o the_o ark_n &_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v old_a eli_n so_o much_o trouble_v because_o he_o know_v it_o be_v for_o his_o sin_n that_o god_n suffer_v the_o ark_n to_o be_v take_v he_o know_v that_o his_o not_o punish_v his_o two_o son_n be_v one_o cause_n of_o that_o great_a slaughter_n the_o people_n of_o israel_n meet_v withal_o and_o that_o make_v he_o tremble_v there_o be_v no_o person_n here_o in_o this_o congregation_n but_o his_o heart_n will_v tell_v he_o he_o have_v contribute_v something_o towards_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o ark._n none_o of_o we_o so_o holy_a but_o our_o conscience_n must_v accuse_v we_o we_o have_v do_v something_o that_o may_v cause_v god_n to_o take_v the_o ark_n from_o we_o and_o therefore_o mr._n bradford_n that_o bless_a martyr_n say_v in_o his_o prayer_n lord_n it_o be_v for_o my_o unthankfulness_n for_o the_o gospel_n that_o bring_v in_o popery_n in_o queen_n mary_n be_v day_n and_o my_o

complain_v that_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n take_v away_o the_o gospel_n from_o england_n o_o belove_a it_o be_v for_o thy_o sin_n and_o my_o sin_n that_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v in_o danger_n and_o therefore_o the_o lod_n give_v we_o tremble_v solicitous_a heart_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o ark._n i_o come_v now_o to_o application_n use_v 1_o if_o this_o be_v the_o property_n of_o a_o true_a child_n of_o god_n to_o be_v solicitous_a when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v in_o danger_n and_o to_o have_v such_o a_o tremble_a heart_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o ark_n than_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a sign_n there_o be_v but_o few_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o truth_n o_o where_o be_v the_o man_n and_o where_o be_v the_o woman_n that_o like_v old_a

i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v not_o one_o sin_n for_o which_o god_n ever_o take_v away_o the_o ark_n from_o any_o people_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o england_n do_v the_o church_n of_o

the_o ark_n because_o they_o abhor_v the_o offering_n of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o you_o do_v so_o be_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o israel_n among_o we_o the_o sin_n of_o germany_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o other_o nation_n about_o we_o and_o can_v any_o man_n here_o before_o god_n this_o day_n in_o this_o congregation_n that_o consider_v the_o great_a unthankfulness_n of_o this_o nation_n &_o
