every_o one_o that_o do_v desire_n to_o be_v a_o faithful_a servant_n to_o the_o lord_n as_o you_o may_v understand_v by_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n for_o paul_n here_o you_o may_v see_v give_v timothy_n a_o charge_n over_o the_o people_n to_o let_v prayer_n be_v make_v for_o all_o man_n and_o indeed_o good_a people_n i_o can_v perceive_v but_o paul_n do_v see_v they_o be_v a_o wicked_a and_o a_o sinful_a people_n so_o he_o think_v that_o by_o prayer_n they_o may_v be_v convert_v but_o alas_o how_o many_o be_v there_o now_o a_o day_n that_o will_v have_v a_o sinner_n convert_v by_o prayer_n no_o my_o brethren_n we_o now_o a_o day_n fly_v too_o much_o off_o the_o apostle_n rule_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v we_o think_v our_o wit_n far_o better_o than_o they_o for_o rather_o than_o we_o will_v pray_v for_o a_o sinner_n nay_o we_o have_v rather_o curse_v they_o but_o good_a people_n i_o will_v desire_v every_o one_o of_o you_o to_o take_v the_o same_o exhortation_n that_o paul_n give_v to_o timothy_n that_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o all_o man_n for_o if_o you_o see_v a_o drunkard_n take_v heed_n of_o he_o but_o pray_v for_o he_o if_o you_o see_v a_o swearer_n delight_v not_o in_o his_o company_n but_o pray_v for_o he_o if_o you_o sâ—â—_n a_o whoremonger_n take_v heed_n of_o his_o wickedness_n but_o pray_v for_o he_o for_o you_o may_v perceive_v where_o bâ—_n this_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v fâ—â—_n all_o man_n aâ—de_v by_o god_n grace_n we_o may_v prevail_v for_o in_o the_o 5_o chapter_n oâ—_n jamâ—s_n and_o â—heâ—6_n â—6_z

these_o word_n thou_o shaâ—â—_n guide_v i_o with_o thy_o counsel_n and_o afterward_o receive_v i_o to_o thy_o glory_n and_o in_o the_o 25_o vers_fw-la theâ—_n you_o may_v see_v the_o confidence_n that_o he_o have_v in_o goâ—_n more_o than_o in_o man_n for_o say_v he_o who_o have_v i_o in_o heaven_n but_o thou_o and_o there_o be_v none_o upon_o earth_n that_o i_o desire_v beside_o thou_o indeed_o good_a people_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v no_o confidence_n in_o any_o man_n but_o in_o god_n which_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o mercy_n give_v every_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n grace_n to_o serve_v he_o and_o obey_v he_o till_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n which_o indeed_o we_o do_v not_o know_v how_o soon_o it_o may_v please_v god_n to_o call_v we_o indeed_o we_o do_v not_o know_v how_o soon_o it_o may_v be_v to_o night_n before_o to_o morrow_n no_o man_n can_v tell_v when_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o mark_n 13._o 33._o take_v you_o heed_n watch_n and_o pray_v for_o you_o know_v not_o when_o the_o time_n be_v indeed_o my_o brethren_n you_o may_v perceive_v here_o that_o we_o have_v no_o time_n set_v when_o the_o time_n of_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n shall_v be_v therefore_o it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o all_o to_o have_v a_o care_n in_o time_n for_o fear_v the_o lord_n give_v we_o a_o just_a cause_n to_o cry_v out_o as_o zion_n do_v as_o you_o may_v find_v it_o write_v in_o the_o lamentation_n 4._o 4_o in_o these_o word_n the_o tongue_n of_o the_o suck_a child_n cleave_v to_o the_o roof_n of_o his_o mouth_n for_o thirst_n the_o young_a child_n ask_v bread_n and_o no_o man_n break_v it_o unto_o they_o and_o in_o the_o 5_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n there_o you_o may_v see_v what_o misery_n come_v upon_o these_o people_n for_o sin_n they_o that_o do_v feed_v delicate_o be_v desolate_a in_o the_o street_n they_o that_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o scarlet_n embrace_v dunghill_n i_o will_v desire_v every_o good_a christian_a to_o take_v heed_n in_o time_n for_o fear_v the_o lord_n execute_v the_o very_a â—ame_n judgement_n upon_o these_o land_n and_o nation_n that_o we_o live_v in_o for_o by_o woeful_a experience_n too_o many_o in_o these_o time_n have_v find_v it_o too_o true_a that_o the_o very_a same_o judgement_n partly_o upon_o a_o great_a many_o for_o in_o many_o place_n you_o may_v see_v many_o a_o brave_a house_n and_o family_n ruinate_v and_o go_v to_o decay_v which_o certain_o be_v not_o altogether_o for_o their_o own_o sin_n no_o my_o brethren_n i_o be_o afraid_a that_o we_o all_o stand_v guilty_a of_o sin_n and_o although_o the_o lord_n spare_v we_o for_o a_o time_n to_o see_v if_o we_o will_v repent_v yet_o certain_o without_o true_a repentance_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o spare_v we_o no_o more_o than_o he_o spare_v egypt_n when_o he_o threaten_v their_o destruction_n as_o you_o may_v find_v it_o write_v in_o the_o 32_o chap._n of_o ezekiel_n begin_n at_o the_o 9_o verse_n and_o so_o to_o the_o 12._o i_o will_v also_o vex_v the_o heart_n of_o many_o people_n when_o i_o shall_v bring_v thy_o destruction_n among_o the_o nation_n into_o the_o country_n which_o thou_o have_v not_o know_v 10_o yea_o i_o will_v make_v many_o people_n amaze_v at_o thou_o and_o their_o king_n shall_v be_v horrible_o afraid_a of_o thou_o when_o i_o shall_v brandish_v my_o sword_n before_o they_o and_o they_o shall_v tremble_v at_o every_o moment_n every_o man_n for_o his_o own_o life_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o fall_n 11_o for_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n the_o sword_n of_o the_o king_n of_o babylon_n shall_v come_v upon_o thou_o 12_o by_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o mighty_a will_v i_o cause_v thy_o multitude_n to_o fall_v the_o terrible_a of_o the_o â—_z all_o of_o they_o and_o they_o shall_v spoil_v the_o pomp_n 〈◊〉_d egypt_n and_o all_o the_o multitude_n thereof_o shall_v be_v â—â—stroyed_v indeed_o my_o brethren_n you_o may_v see_v here_o by_o this_o â—ace_n of_o scripture_n that_o the_o lord_n threaten_v the_o egyptian_n with_o most_o heavy_a judgement_n for_o their_o â—â—s_o and_o do_v not_o we_o think_v that_o our_o sin_n be_v as_o â—eat_n as_o they_o yes_o certain_o and_o great_a too_o herefore_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n let_v we_o all_o pray_v unâ—â—_n the_o lord_n for_o mercy_n and_o sure_o he_o will_v hear_v 〈◊〉_d for_o he_o have_v no_o delight_n
