be_v possess_v with_o a_o strong_a imagination_n that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o fear_v god_n this_o cause_n of_o man_n not_o fear_v the_o lord_n the_o prophet_n malachi_n declare_v chapt._n 3._o

neglect_v &_o cast_v away_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v a_o gross_a conceit_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n induce_v they_o to_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n see_v not_o what_o man_n do_v in_o the_o

he_o can_v not_o judge_v through_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o despise_v he_o and_o so_o the_o ungodly_a in_o the_o day_n of_o david_n speak_v fierce_o and_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n vaunt_v themselves_o against_o god_n and_o all_o be_v upon_o this_o persuasion_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o see_v it_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n do_v not_o mark_v it_o psal_n 94._o against_o this_o

see_v themselves_o &_o other_o who_o be_v with_o out_o all_o true_a reverence_n of_o the_o almighty_a to_o prosper_v well_o enough_o in_o the_o world_n while_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n endure_v and_o pass_v through_o many_o adversity_n &_o trouble_n this_o reason_n of_o the_o wicked_n contempt_n of_o god_n the_o prophet_n david_n see_v &_o acknowledge_v psa_n 73._o for_o why_o as_o he_o say_v because_o the_o wicked_a come_v not_o in_o trouble_n neither_o be_v plague_v with_o other_o man_n because_o there_o be_v no_o band_n in_o their_o death_n but_o they_o be_v lusty_a and_o

speak_v in_o defiance_n of_o god_n himself_o in_o like_a manner_n he_o say_v of_o the_o ungodlie_a psalm_n 55.19_o that_o because_o they_o have_v no_o change_n therefore_o they_o fear_v not_o god_n to_o expel_v which_o poison_a conceit_n out_o of_o man_n heart_n there_o be_v not_o any_o more_o convenient_a remedy_n than_o to_o mark_v the_o way_v of_o the_o world_n wherein_o wicked_a man_n which_o say_v unto_o god_n depart_v from_o we_o have_v walk_v and_o how_o they_o have_v be_v cut_v down_o before_o their_o time_n who_o foundation_n be_v as_o ariver_n that_o overflow_v job._n 22._o to_o consider_v with_o david_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v such_o wicked_a one_o in_o slippery_a place_n &_o that_o the_o conceit_n which_o they_o have_v of_o their_o prosperous_a estate_n be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o fancy_n of_o a_o dream_a man_n who_o in_o his_o sleep_n imagine_v himself_o and_o other_o to_o be_v scotfree_a and_o in_o good_a case_n but_o when_o he_o a_o wake_v he_o
