8._o 14._o when_o the_o lord_n be_v give_v up_o 14._o his_o people_n to_o most_o woeful_a spoil_n the_o prophet_n speak_v to_o they_o after_o this_o manner_n why_o do_v you_o sit_v still_o assemble_v

against_o the_o other_o even_o to_o the_o scorn_n of_o religion_n true_o we_o have_v even_o lose_v ourselves_o our_o foolish_a walk_n have_v take_v off_o the_o awe_n that_o the_o profession_n of_o

that_o it_o lay_v a_o bridle_n upon_o they_o but_o now_o they_o see_v that_o many_o godly_a or_o who_o at_o least_o pretend_v to_o be_v godly_a appear_v so_o selfish_a so_o bitter_a so_o worldly_a not_o only_o to_o be_v of_o differ_a mind_n but_o of_o differ_v affection_n fall_v into_o horrible_a rent_n and_o abominable_a opinion_n this_o i_o say_v have_v take_v off_o the_o awe_n that_o lie_v upon_o man_n conscience_n and_o therefore_o be_v there_o so_o much_o rage_n let_v out_o against_o we_o i_o desire_v therefore_o that_o we_o all_o that_o profess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v christ_n servant_n may_v get_v ourselves_o into_o our_o closet_n and_o be_v silent_a lay_v our_o hand_n upon_o our_o mouth_n and_o say_v it_o be_v most_o just_a with_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v give_v up_o we_o have_v a_o little_a power_n and_o we_o have_v abuse_v it_o we_o have_v dishonour_v the_o gospel_n and_o now_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o the_o water_n of_o gall_n and_o wormwood_n to_o drink_v

the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o leave_v his_o own_o people_n to_o be_v under_o the_o tyranny_n of_o they_o that_o hate_v they_o i_o say_v 8._o his_o own_o people_n for_o this_o be_v emanuels_n land_n

all_o judgement_n one_o of_o the_o most_o terrible_a and_o uncomfortable_a that_o ever_o a_o people_n can_v be_v expose_v to_o to_o have_v those_o that_o hate_v they_o to_o tyrannize_v over_o they_o

easy_o appear_v to_o be_v one_o 11._o of_o the_o terrible_a judgement_n of_o all_o because_o it_o be_v a_o misery_n that_o be_v opposite_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o great_a mercy_n that_o can_v be_v
