faithful_a with_o the_o saint_n that_o he_o say_v he_o have_v a_o controversy_n with_o judah_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v this_o to_o show_v that_o god_n do_v not_o so_o look_v at_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n but_o he_o see_v the_o evil_a in_o they_o too_o you_o know_v those_o passage_n in_o the_o 2_o of_o revelation_n where_o god_n commend_v such_o and_o such_o church_n for_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o but_o yet_o notwithsthnd_v i_o have_v a_o few_o thing_n against_o thou_o i_o do_v not_o so_o observe_v your_o good_a but_o i_o observe_v your_o evil_n too_o my_o brethren_n some_o there_o be_v that_o if_o there_o 2._o be_v any_o evil_n in_o man_n they_o can_v see_v no_o good_a in_o they_o this_o be_v wicked_a but_o other_o there_o be_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o good_a in_o they_o can_v see_v no_o evil_a this_o be_v too_o much_o indulgence_n too_o it_o be_v two_o extremity_n in_o both_o second_o yet_o god_n have_v a_o controversy_n with_o judah_n judah_n have_v no_o cause_n to_o bless_v herself_o in_o her_o way_n that_o be_v 2._o good_a because_o she_o retain_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n man_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o bless_v themselves_o in_o some_o way_n that_o be_v not_o good_a because_o they_o do_v choose_v some_o other_o way_n that_o be_v good_a i_o mean_v thus_o that_o such_o man_n as_o embrace_v good_a the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v right_o there_o they_o will_v have_v pure_a ordinance_n and_o the_o way_n of_o god_n right_o according_a to_o the_o word_n and_o because_o of_o that_o though_o there_o be_v some_o looseness_n and_o negligence_n in_o their_o way_n otherways_o yet_o worshipper_n they_o put_v off_o conscience_n with_o this_o and_o think_v they_o be_v the_o true_a worshipper_n of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o the_o purity_n and_o power_n of_o they_o and_o so_o think_v to_o swallow_v down_o all_o much_o looseness_n much_o carnality_n much_o pride_n much_o sensualness_n much_o hypocrisy_n and_o yet_o because_o they_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n they_o seek_v to_o satisfy_v conscience_n with_o this_o oh_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o god_n may_v have_v a_o controversy_n against_o you_o three_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o controversy_n with_o judah_n he_o do_v express_v himself_o thus_o that_o israel_n may_v neither_o think_v 3_o god_n or_o the_o prophet_n partial_a the_o ten_o tribe_n may_v say_v do_v god_n threaten_v we_o be_v not_o judah_n as_o bad_a as_o we_o be_v there_o not_o evil_n among_o judah_n as_o well_o as_o we_o be_v we_o only_o the_o sinful_a people_n no_o say_v the_o prophet_n i_o acknowledge_v there_o be_v much_o evil_n in_o judah_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o controversy_n against_o judah_n too_o and_o judah_n be_v not_o like_a to_o escape_v and_o let_v not_o this_o satisfy_v you_o that_o because_o other_o be_v bad_a therefore_o you_o may_v escape_v no_o they_o be_v bad_a and_o god_n have_v a_o controversy_n against_o they_o and_o this_o may_v be_v a_o useful_a note_n to_o we_o man_n be_v very_o ready_a to_o put_v off_o the_o evil_n that_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o with_o this_o i_o be_o not_o worse_o than_o other_o i_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n amiss_o and_o other_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n amiss_o as_o well_o as_o i_o and_o so_o they_o think_v to_o escape_v that_o way_n oh_o thou_o weak_a man_n thou_o vain_a man_n why_o will_v thou_o deceive_v thy_o soul_n with_o this_o do_v thou_o think_v that_o another_o man_n evil_n may_v be_v a_o excuse_n to_o thy_o evil_n thou_o be_v a_o vain_a man_n and_o know_v not_o the_o way_n of_o god_n the_o four_o note_n be_v this_o therefore_o do_v god_n say_v he_o 4_o have_v a_o controversy_n against_o judah_n here_o to_o show_v they_o how_o much_o more_o must_v the_o ten_o tribe_n expect_v the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n if_o judah_n who_o retain_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n yet_o for_o some_o other_o evil_n god_n have_v a_o controversy_n against_o they_o than_o what_o will_v become_v of_o israel_n who_o have_v those_o evil_n and_o reject_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n too_o as_o if_o the_o prophet_n shall_v say_v your_o condition_n be_v far_o worse_a therefore_o do_v the_o lord_n say_v he_o have_v a_o controversy_n against_o judah_n that_o he_o may_v aggravate_v the_o evil_n of_o israel_n like_o that_o of_o

for_o the_o answer_n to_o that_o it_o be_v give_v thus_o which_o be_v a_o very_a satisfy_a answer_n that_o therefore_o the_o people_n answ_n of_o god_n be_v call_v in_o scripture_n by_o the_o name_n
