the_o way_n to_o evidence_n this_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v full_a of_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o ungodliness_n be_v to_o look_v to_o the_o rule_n if_o you_o will_v find_v out_o the_o

of_o information_n and_o conviction_n but_o out_o of_o the_o very_a love_n of_o unrighteousness_n and_o this_o serve_v to_o take_v away_o the_o common_a excuse_n whereby_o man_n do_v usual_o

shall_v dictate_v to_o we_o but_o when_o it_o tell_v we_o of_o sin_n that_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o hear_v of_o we_o first_o imprison_v it_o and_o then_o extinguish_v it_o as_o there_o be_v

indeed_o the_o only_a disease_n of_o the_o soul_n illustrate_v from_o two_o consequent_n first_o from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n who_o as_o the_o text_n say_v be_v very_o angry_a with_o israel_n for_o they_o have_v commit_v whoredom_n and_o join_v with_o baal-peor_n 3._o that_o be_v the_o disease_n the_o sin_n for_o which_o they_o have_v bring_v on_o they_o god_n wrath_n plague_n and_o second_o from_o a_o effect_n of_o that_o wrath_n the_o plague_n god_n strike_v they_o with_o pestilence_n that_o be_v the_o punishment_n wrath_n in_o this_o verse_n be_v set_v down_o the_o remedy_n and_o that_o be_v the_o turn_v away_o of_o god_n wrath_n for_o as_o the_o physician_n say_v morbi_fw-la curantur_fw-la contrarijs_fw-la so_o it_o be_v true_a in_o divinity_n as_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o plague_n so_o the_o turn_v away_o thereof_o be_v the_o remedy_n this_o turn_v away_o of_o his_o wrath_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o cause_n of_o its_o turn_n away_o

text_n first_o in_o that_o the_o removal_n of_o the_o plague_n be_v attribute_v to_o god_n and_o to_o the_o turn_v away_o of_o his_o anger_n this_o be_v clear_o deduce_v that_o it_o be_v god_n only_o that_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a for_o you_o see_v his_o anger_n bring_v the_o plague_n on_o they_o and_o the_o turn_n away_o of_o his_o anger_n heal_v they_o again_o second_o it_o be_v sin_n that_o cause_v god_n anger_n anger_n in_o god_n have_v always_o relation_n to_o sin_n for_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o three_o the_o way_n to_o turn_v away_o the_o lord_n anger_n be_v zeal_n for_o his_o sake_n four_o if_o there_o be_v want_n of_o this_o zeal_n among_o we_o his_o jealousy_n shall_v grow_v hot_a and_o hot_a it_o shall_v increase_v upon_o we_o more_o and_o more_o five_o and_o last_o the_o issue_n of_o this_o jealousy_n of_o he_o will_v be_v utter_a destruction_n we_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o point_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v god_n only_o evil_a that_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a to_o every_o nation_n to_o every_o church_n and_o kingdom_n yea_o to_o every_o particular_a person_n as_o you_o see_v here_o it_o be_v not_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o air_n that_o bring_v the_o plague_n nor_o the_o clear_n of_o it_o with_o frost_n and_o wind_n that_o turn_v it_o away_o but_o the_o cloud_n of_o the_o lord_n wrath_n shed_v this_o storm_n on_o they_o and_o when_o he_o be_v appease_v with_o they_o there_o follow_v health_n and_o peace_n the_o lord_n wound_n and_o the_o lord_n heal_v for_o what_o be_v the_o plague_n but_o a_o sword_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o angel_n who_o draw_v it_o out_o and_o put_v it_o into_o its_o sheath_n again_o at_o his_o master_n appointment_n and_o be_v not_o there_o the_o same_o reason_n of_o all_o other_o evil_n war_n you_o know_v be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n when_o enemy_n come_v as_o bee_n on_o a_o land_n but_o do_v not_o the_o lord_n hiss_v for_o they_o and_o again_o they_o be_v drive_v away_o as_o with_o a_o breath_n at_o his_o appointment_n famine_n be_v a_o lean_a devour_a evil_a which_o cause_v the_o land_n to_o eat_v up_o the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o but_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n the_o only_a cause_n of_o it_o do_v not_o he_o make_v the_o heaven_n as_o brass_n and_o the_o earth_n as_o iron_n do_v not_o he_o when_o he_o will_v open_v the_o window_n of_o heaven_n and_o unstop_v the_o bottle_n of_o the_o cloud_n and_o power_n outraine_v unreasonable_o and_o be_v not_o he_o the_o cause_n of_o death_n which_o be_v the_o journey_n end_n of_o both_o the_o former_a to_o which_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v subject_a yet_o we_o consider_v it_o not_o though_o we_o see_v man_n fall_v from_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n every_o moment_n yet_o we_o regard_v it_o not_o this_o the_o lord_n take_v only_o to_o himself_o psal._n 68.20_o to_o the_o lord_n belong_v the_o issue_n from_o death_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o give_v to_o the_o lord_n this_o great_a prerogative_n of_o he_o that_o he_o only_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a and_o let_v no_o man_n question_v it_o you_o will_v say_v who_o do_v question_v it_o it_o be_v very_o true_a we_o do_v not_o question_v it_o in_o word_n but_o if_o we_o question_v it_o in_o our_o deed_n it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o our_o heart_n make_v a_o doubt_n of_o it_o though_o our_o tongue_n do_v not_o question_v it_o therefore_o let_v we_o examine_v the_o matter_n if_o we_o think_v the_o lord_n only_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a point_n why_o then_o will_v not_o we_o obey_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o and_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n but_o provoke_v he_o to_o anger_n by_o our_o word_n and_o by_o our_o work_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v to_o i_o sin_v as_o saul_n answer_v samuel_n when_o he_o come_v from_o the_o war_n of_o the_o amalekite_n oh_o thou_o bless_a of_o the_o lord_n i_o have_v full_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o say_v samuel_n if_o thou_o have_v do_v so_o what_o mean_v the_o

whoredom_n which_o be_v so_o frequent_a what_o mean_v those_o oath_n among_o we_o for_o which_o the_o land_n mourn_v not_o only_o great_a oath_n but_o small_a oath_n which_o exceed_v the_o great_a for_o frequency_n though_o the_o great_a exceed_v they_o in_o that_o they_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a again_o what_o mean_v the_o breach_n of_o the_o sabbath_n of_o which_o i_o will_v speak_v a_o word_n by_o the_o way_n and_o that_o you_o may_v know_v that_o i_o do_v not_o blame_v you_o for_o that_o as_o a_o sin_n which_o be_v no_o sin_n i_o will_v make_v this_o digression_n do_v you_o not_o think_v that_o sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v sanctify_v and_o to_o be_v keep_v holy_a i_o will_v name_v but_o two_o reason_n to_o make_v it_o good_a you_o shall_v find_v they_o in_o isaiah_n 57.30_o it_o be_v my_o holy_a day_n first_o it_o be_v a_o holy_a day_n and_o if_o it_o be_v holy_a you_o may_v do_v nothing_o thereon_o that_o be_v common_a a_o vessel_n that_o be_v

to_o raise_v they_o again_o to_o preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n three_o to_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o sanctification_n these_o three_o humiliation_n justification_n and_o sanctification_n be_v the_o three_o main_a thing_n wherein_o our_o condition_n to_o god_n consist_v therefore_o my_o intent_n be_v to_o go_v through_o these_o three_o and_o we_o will_v do_v it_o brief_o begin_v with_o this_o text_n which_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n the_o occasion_n whereof_o be_v this_o paul_n tell_v the_o roman_n that_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o come_v to_o they_o but_o what_o shall_v he_o do_v there_o he_o will_v preach_v the_o gospel_n yea_o but_o it_o be_v a_o ignominious_a thing_n to_o be_v a_o christian_n a_o thing_n that_o will_v expose_v he_o to_o much_o persecution_n and_o shame_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n say_v he_o i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o gospel_n for_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n but_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o gospel_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v that_o be_v there_o be_v no_o way_n in_o the_o world_n for_o man_n to_o be_v justify_v to_o be_v count_v righteous_a before_o god_n but_o to_o have_v a_o righteousness_n reveal_v from_o heaven_n even_o another_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n than_o any_o man_n have_v in_o himself_o a_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n a_o righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o be_v impute_v to_o man_n and_o this_o say_v he_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o the_o gospel_n only_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n but_o here_o come_v the_o great_a question_n why_o be_v it_o needful_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a kind_n of_o righteousness_n reveal_v a_o righteousness_n wrought_v by_o another_o and_o make_v we_o only_o but_o by_o imputation_n say_v he_o it_o must_v be_v so_o else_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v save_v every_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v condemn_v for_o all_o man_n be_v unrighteous_a every_o man_n be_v full_a of_o all_o impiety_n and_o wickedness_n which_o he_o deliver_v in_o this_o verse_n thence_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o have_v the_o gospel_n reveal_v for_o that_o be_v it_o that_o reveal_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ._n a_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v only_o wrought_v by_o christ_n and_o will_v only_o stand_v out_o before_o the_o judgement-seat_n of_o god_n so_o that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o word_n be_v to_o convince_v man_n to_o show_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o have_v no_o righteousness_n of_o their_o own_o to_o assure_v they_o that_o if_o they_o stand_v in_o the_o condition_n they_o be_v in_o by_o nature_n they_o remain_v in_o condemnation_n for_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o there_o need_v no_o new_a condemnation_n ult_n if_o he_o have_v not_o the_o son_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v on_o he_o 1._o so_o that_o the_o main_a thing_n in_o these_o word_n be_v this_o assertion_n unrighteousness_n that_o man_n nature_n be_v full_a of_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n two_o thing_n be_v charge_v upon_o man_n nature_n first_o a_o fullness_n of_o all_o kind_n of_o sin_n against_o god_n second_o of_o all_o injustice_n and_o unrighteousness_n to_o man_n one_o touch_v the_o first_o table_n the_o other_o the_o second_o now_o when_o he_o say_v all_o ungodliness_n and_o all_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o in_o man_n nature_n there_o be_v all_o kind_n of_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o again_o that_o be_v to_o be_v mark_v unrighteousness_n of_o man_n he_o set_v it_o down_o in_o general_a because_o he_o speak_v it_o of_o all_o man_n none_o except_v so_o you_o must_v take_v both_o in_o every_o man_n none_o except_v be_v full_a of_o all_o unrighteousness_n all_o impiety_n all_o part_n of_o impiety_n all_o kind_n of_o unrighteousness_n be_v find_v in_o he_o but_o how_o will_v this_o be_v prove_v he_o prove_v it_o by_o two_o argument_n first_o because_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v against_o every_o man_n and_o god_n be_v a_o just_a judge_n his_o wrath_n will_v not_o be_v kindle_v against_o man_n except_o there_o be_v just_a cause_n and_o that_o be_v one_o argument_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o man_n say_v he_o it_o be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n whence_o three_o thing_n may_v be_v note_v for_o thence_o you_o may_v see_v the_o evidence_n of_o his_o wrath_n it_o be_v reveal_v and_o second_o the_o sureness_n of_o it_o it_o come_v from_o heaven_n and_o god_n will_v be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n and_o three_o the_o terriblenesse_n of_o it_o it_o be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n for_o when_o god_n be_v say_v to_o sit_v in_o heaven_n and_o to_o laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v and_o 2_o cor._n 6._o to_o sit_v in_o heaven_n it_o argue_v he_o do_v thing_n powerful_o but_o you_o will_v ask_v how_o be_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n reveal_v from_o heaven_n it_o be_v reveal_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n every_o man_n have_v so_o much_o light_n in_o he_o as_o to_o know_v that_o he_o deserve_v wrath_n and_o judgement_n and_o punishment_n and_o partly_o it_o be_v reveal_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o partly_o by_o continual_a experience_n god_n be_v ever_o and_o anon_o execute_v his_o wrath_n and_o judgement_n on_o sinner_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o argument_n the_o second_o argument_n to_o prove_v their_o unrighteousness_n be_v because_o they_o withhold_a the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n and_o here_o be_v a_o secret_a objection_n answer_v for_o it_o may_v be_v object_v there_o be_v many_o excellent_a thing_n in_o man_n as_o your_o moral_a philosopher_n have_v they_o not_o much_o light_n in_o their_o understanding_n much_o rectitude_n in_o their_o life_n do_v they_o not_o practise_v many_o moral_a virtue_n that_o be_v all_o one_o it_o will_v but_o increase_v their_o condemnation_n it_o be_v god_n work_n to_o put_v so_o much_o light_n so_o many_o excellent_a thing_n in_o they_o which_o have_v they_o use_v as_o they_o shall_v and_o might_n those_o principle_n will_v have_v shed_v themselves_o into_o their_o whole_a soul_n and_o conversation_n but_o they_o imprison_v they_o shut_v they_o up_o within_o the_o wall_n of_o their_o conscience_n man_n do_v not_o use_v the_o light_n they_o have_v nor_o improve_v it_o they_o do_v not_o bring_v it_o out_o in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n but_o withhold_a it_o in_o unrighteousness_n so_o that_o in_o the_o word_n there_o be_v three_o point_n lay_v down_o all_o which_o will_v help_v exceed_o to_o humble_v we_o first_o that_o man_n nature_n be_v full_a of_o all_o impiety_n and_o unrighteousness_n the_o second_o be_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n will_v sure_o fall_v on_o man_n for_o this_o if_o sin_n go_v alone_o it_o will_v not_o so_o much_o amaze_v man_n but_o when_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v too_o accompany_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o wrath_n man_n out_o of_o self-love_n will_v be_v move_v therewith_o the_o three_o that_o all_o the_o good_a in_o a_o man_n before_o his_o regeneration_n serve_v only_o to_o help_v forward_o his_o condemnation_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o handle_n of_o these_o point_n one_o point_n we_o must_v needs_o observe_v out_o of_o the_o method_n of_o the_o apostle_n this_o that_o he_o say_v here_o in_o few_o word_n be_v amplify_v to_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o three_o chapter_n all_o which_o time_n he_o spend_v in_o express_v particular_o how_o man_n nature_n be_v full_a of_o impiety_n and_o unrighteousness_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v that_o he_o urge_v justification_n by_o christ_n and_o after_o that_o he_o come_v to_o sanctification_n wherein_o the_o apostle_n method_n be_v very_o observable_a and_o therefore_o from_o his_o method_n before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o main_a we_o will_v brief_o deliver_v this_o point_n doct._n that_o humiliation_n must_v go_v before_o justification_n you_o may_v observe_v it_o from_o the_o method_n use_v man_n must_v first_o be_v convince_v of_o their_o impiety_n and_o unrighteousness_n before_o they_o can_v be_v fit_a to_o receive_v the_o gospel_n as_o the_o physician_n have_v their_o method_n in_o cure_v first_o to_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v the_o body_n and_o then_o to_o give_v cordial_n so_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o divinity_n you_o must_v be_v humble_v before_o you_o can_v be_v justify_v or_o humiliation_n go_v before_o justification_n which_o may_v be_v gather_v not_o only_o from_o this_o but_o likewise_o from_o many_o other_o place_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v the_o course_n god_n take_v every_o where_o with_o man_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a thing_n to_o be_v know_v for_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o ignorance_n of_o this_o method_n man_n do_v not_o
take_v the_o right_a course_n they_o go_v not_o the_o right_a way_n to_o work_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n many_o continue_v in_o the_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n and_o in_o the_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n they_o know_v not_o the_o right_a way_n to_o come_v out_o i_o say_v you_o shall_v find_v this_o in_o other_o place_n observe_v deut._n 8.2_o 3._o you_o shall_v find_v there_o how_o god_n deal_v with_o his_o people_n he_o carry_v they_o through_o the_o wilderness_n and_o to_o what_o end_n to_o humble_v they_o and_o how_o do_v he_o humble_v they_o two_o way_n first_o by_o show_v they_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o their_o heart_n let_v they_o know_v their_o rebellion_n and_o start_n aside_o when_o he_o lead_v they_o along_o say_v he_o i_o have_v carry_v thou_o these_o forty_o year_n in_o the_o wilderness_n to_o humble_v thou_o and_o prove_v thou_o all_o thy_o sin_n and_o corruption_n be_v there_o before_o but_o thou_o know_v it_o not_o but_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o if_o man_n see_v

that_o be_v for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n in_o christ._n so_o zechar._n 12._o and_o 13._o chap._n you_o shall_v find_v first_o god_n power_v on_o they_o the_o spirit_n of_o compunction_n that_o they_o

a_o pronounce_v of_o the_o sentence_n a_o declaration_n of_o the_o judgement_n to_o come_v and_o this_o course_n make_v felix_n to_o tremble_v so_o john_n the_o baptist_n that_o come_v to_o prepare_v

they_o will_v not_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n they_o be_v not_o yet_o humble_v and_o therefore_o they_o can_v be_v save_v the_o jubilee_n among_o the_o jew_n may_v be_v a_o very_a fit_a resemblance_n hereof_o and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v may_v be_v so_o intend_v to_o resemble_v the_o glorious_a liberty_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o the_o jubilee_n be_v this_o all_o servant_n

we_o preach_v the_o gospel_n this_o be_v the_o great_a jubilee_n every_o man_n may_v be_v free_a the_o son_n come_v to_o that_o end_n and_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o truth_n to_o make_v man_n

never_o humble_v they_o never_o feel_v the_o heaviness_n of_o satan_n yoke_n they_o be_v never_o weary_v with_o sin_n for_o if_o they_o be_v so_o this_o will_v be_v acceptable_a news_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o now_o mark_v this_o by_o the_o way_n if_o a_o servant_n will_v not_o go_v free_a he_o shall_v not_o afterward_o be_v at_o liberty_n to_o go_v and_o stay_v when_o he_o list_v but_o his_o

in_o this_o condition_n i_o will_v repent_v and_o come_v out_o of_o it_o know_v that_o be_v not_o enough_o god_n will_v not_o wait_v thy_o leisure_n if_o thou_o will_v not_o come_v out_o take_v heed_n
