those_o few_o i_o can_v present_o gather_v out_o of_o the_o word_n god_n preserve_v some_o to_o manifest_v his_o power_n and_o providence_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o 91._o 46_o psalm_n before_o discuss_v and_o by_o esa_n 1._o 9_o 2_o god_n will_v take_v none_o hence_o before_o they_o have_v do_v he_o all_o that_o service_n which_o in_o his_o counsel_n be_v appoint_v as_o appear_v by_o these_o place_n luk._n 13._o 31_o 32_o 33_o and_o act._n 13._o 36._o 3_o god_n reserve_v some_o for_o a_o heavy_a judgement_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o these_o place_n 1._o king_n 19_o 17._o 2._o king_n 8._o 10_o 15._o amos_n 5._o 16_o 17._o and_o 4_o towards_o some_o he_o perform_v his_o promise_n in_o preserve_v they_o in_o their_o way_n that_o be_v way_n whereinto_o god_n call_v they_o according_a to_o the_o 91._o psalm_n vers_fw-la 11._o for_o which_o cause_n priest_n though_o take_v often_o view_v of_o leprosy_n be_v preserve_v 36._o as_o i_o show_v before_o and_o keeper_n burier_n and_o such_o as_o have_v necessary_a cause_n of_o come_v to_o the_o infect_a of_o the_o plague_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n now_o preserve_v so_o that_o peter_n may_v bold_o go_v on_o the_o water_n when_o christ_n bid_v he_o come_v as_o you_o may_v read_v mat._n 14._o 28_o 29._o profess_v i_o thank_v you_o hearty_o for_o yield_v i_o this_o satisfaction_n for_o among_o all_o your_o good_a note_n i_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o second_o with_o some_o comfort_n and_o thereon_o ground_n this_o conclusion_n if_o i_o shall_v not_o die_v before_o i_o have_v do_v god_n all_o the_o service_n i_o be_o appoint_v why_o shall_v i_o be_v unwilling_a to_o die_v when_o my_o time_n be_v come_v and_o not_o rather_o be_v prepare_v to_o say_v yea_o sing_v with_o good_a old_a simeon_n 29._o lord_n now_o let_v thou_o thy_o servant_n depart_v in_o peace_n but_o i_o miss_v one_o principal_a cause_n of_o preservation_n from_o the_o plague_n to_o wit_n a_o strong_a faith_n according_a to_o the_o 91._o psalm_n preach_v i_o think_v very_o you_o will_v not_o let_v go_v your_o hold_n on_o that_o part_n of_o the_o mighty_a argument_n but_o i_o assure_v you_o there_o be_v no_o such_o force_n in_o it_o as_o it_o seem_v to_o have_v nay_o rather_o it_o overthrow_v the_o former_a part_n of_o that_o argument_n for_o in_o that_o psalm_n the_o promise_n of_o preservation_n be_v not_o make_v only_o to_o our_o take_a hold_n of_o god_n promise_n but_o also_o to_o our_o walk_n in_o our_o way_n wherefore_o as_o that_o faith_n which_o stand_v upon_o the_o precept_n which_o be_v imply_v to_o walk_v in_o our_o way_n and_o forget_v as_o it_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o help_n savour_v of_o distrust_n in_o god_n so_o that_o faith_n which_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o promise_n neglect_v the_o precept_n savour_v of_o presumption_n and_o therefore_o have_v no_o promise_n with_o comfortable_a assurance_n can_v hope_v for_o preservation_n again_o though_o faith_n do_v equal_o respect_v both_o the_o promise_n &_o the_o precept_n yet_o since_o all_o temporal_a blessing_n be_v promise_v not_o absolute_o but_o conditional_o so_o far_o as_o the_o performance_n of_o they_o shall_v be_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o good_a of_o the_o beléever_n as_o i_o will_v prove_v if_o need_v require_v it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o assure_v of_o preservation_n then_o with_o respect_n to_o those_o condition_n if_o without_o such_o respect_n it_o be_v absolute_o assure_v they_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n but_o presumption_n except_o you_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v a_o miraculous_a faith_n which_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n instant_o and_o by_o inspiration_n reveil_v but_o that_o faith_n live_v and_o die_v with_o miracle_n because_o i_o say_v again_o it_o have_v no_o promise_n for_o howsoever_o salvation_n be_v absolute_o promise_v to_o beléever_n because_o it_o be_v reveal_v that_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o promise_n be_v for_o god_n most_o glory_n and_o the_o beléever_v best_o good_a and_o be_v therefore_o absolute_o to_o be_v believe_v yet_o because_o it_o be_v not_o reveal_v at_o any_o time_n that_o then_o the_o performance_n of_o a_o temporal_a promise_n be_v for_o god_n most_o glory_n and_o the_o beléever_v best_o good_a therefore_o a_o temporal_a promise_n be_v in_o the_o nature_n thereof_o conditional_a and_o according_o to_o be_v beléue_v last_o do_v you_o not_o perceive_v that_o the_o strong_a faith_n be_v require_v 32._o the_o great_a danger_n be_v suppose_v but_o if_o the_o plague_n be_v not_o contagious_a what_o danger_n be_v there_o if_o no_o danger_n what_o need_v of_o faith_n profess_v there_o be_v no_o need_n you_o shall_v prove_v your_o condition_n for_o they_o stand_v with_o all_o reason_n 4._o since_o god_n have_v make_v all_o thing_n for_o his_o own_o sake_n and_o promise_v deliverance_n for_o his_o glory_n sake_n 10._o and_o his_o promise_n pretend_v the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n but_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o out_o of_o my_o mind_n but_o that_o godly_a man_n who_o die_v in_o this_o plague_n do_v therefore_o die_v because_o they_o fail_v in_o faith_n i_o mean_v not_o touch_v their_o salvation_n but_o touch_v the_o particular_a promise_n of_o preservation_n from_o the_o plague_n therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o for_o my_o better_a instruction_n show_v i_o how_o by_o the_o death_n of_o godly_a man_n die_v of_o the_o plague_n and_o believe_v the_o promise_n both_o of_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o temporal_a preservation_n god_n may_v have_v glory_n and_o the_o decease_a benefit_n preach_v i_o grant_v that_o a_o right_n godly_a man_n may_v fail_v as_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o precept_n of_o keep_v his_o way_n by_o presumption_n so_o in_o faith_n to_o the_o promise_n of_o preservation_n by_o fear_n especial_o when_o he_o hear_v nothing_o but_o cry_v of_o wife_n and_o child_n mourn_v of_o husband_n and_o parent_n sorrow_v of_o friend_n and_o kinsfolk_n and_o withal_o see_v the_o plague_n weekly_o to_o increase_v from_o ten_o to_o hundred_o from_o hundred_o to_o thousand_o and_o to_o draw_v near_o and_o near_o to_o himself_o and_o that_o god_n in_o visit_v he_o may_v just_o take_v hold_n of_o this_o fear_n for_o peter_n walk_v on_o the_o water_n for_o a_o while_n 30._o but_o when_o he_o see_v a_o mighty_a wind_n he_o be_v afraid_a and_o begin_v to_o sink_v but_o this_o position_n a_o godly_a man_n die_v of_o the_o plague_n fail_v in_o faith_n touch_v promise_v preservation_n i_o hold_v to_o be_v as_o unsound_a as_o this_o all_o godly_a man_n die_v before_o their_o day_n be_v long_o fail_v in_o honour_v their_o father_n and_o mother_n but_o i_o will_v show_v you_o in_o a_o word_n how_o the_o death_n of_o godly_a man_n die_v of_o the_o plague_n and_o in_o the_o absolute_a faith_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o conditional_a faith_n of_o temporal_a preservation_n may_v be_v to_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o beléever_v good_a for_o by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o faithful_a god_n glorifi_v his_o justice_n and_o wisdom_n his_o justice_n among_o the_o wicked_a 31._o in_o give_v they_o cause_n to_o say_v if_o god_n spare_v not_o the_o green_a tree_n what_o will_v become_v for_n the_o dry_a his_o wisdom_n among_o the_o godly_a lest_o they_o shall_v say_v for_o our_o righteousness_n we_o be_v deliver_v 4._o as_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o beléever_n i_o marvel_v that_o you_o shall_v forget_v that_o which_o be_v so_o often_o teach_v in_o funeral_n sermon_n that_o as_o the_o wicked_a be_v reserve_v for_o a_o further_a mischief_n so_o the_o righteous_a be_v take_v away_o from_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v 25._o beside_o that_o he_o rest_v in_o glory_n from_o mo_z and_o great_a labour_n than_o the_o wicked_a be_v common_o subject_a unto_o profess_v god_n help_v we_o for_o our_o own_o conceive_a error_n will_v hardly_o out_o of_o our_o mind_n but_o we_o easy_o forget_v that_o which_o may_v reform_v our_o judgement_n well_o acknowledge_v that_o you_o have_v full_o answer_v my_o first_o argument_n i_o proceed_v to_o another_o ground_v on_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o this_o sort_n if_o god_n shoot_v his_o arrow_n at_o a_o certain_a mark_n and_o not_o at_o random_n if_o none_o die_v before_o his_o hour_n and_o if_o those_o that_o be_v appoint_v to_o die_v shall_v die_v and_o those_o that_o be_v appoint_v to_o perish_v by_o sword_n or_o famine_n shall_v so_o perish_v and_o none_o other_o 51._o as_o you_o prove_v even_o now_o otherwise_o i_o have_v those_o proof_n ready_a for_o this_o purpose_n then_o if_o i_o go_v where_o the_o plague_n be_v a_o thousand_o time_n i_o shall_v not_o die_v of_o the_o plague_n if_o god_n have_v not_o appoint_v i_o to_o die_v thereof_o and_o if_o he_o have_v i_o shall_v die_v thereof_o though_o i_o come_v not_o near_o it_o by_o a_o
