thou_o whence_o shall_v i_o help_v thou_o intimate_v that_o it_o be_v out_o of_o his_o power_n and_o god_n only_o can_v supply_v she_o so_o when_o the_o great_a god_n declare_v by_o his_o judgement_n i_o even_o i_o be_o against_o thou_o than_o it_o be_v the_o language_n of_o all_o create_a being_n if_o god_n do_v not_o help_v we_o can_v it_o be_v natural_a and_o common_a for_o person_n in_o extreme_a danger_n to_o seek_v out_o for_o help_v some_o way_n or_o other_o but_o when_o god_n set_v himself_o against_o a_o people_n their_o finger_n be_v rapt_v off_o from_o creatural_a help_n see_v what_o god_n speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n zeph._n 1.17_o 18._o i_o will_v bring_v distress_n upon_o man_n that_o they_o shall_v walk_v like_o blind_a man_n because_o they_o have_v sin_v against_o

policy_n wealth_n will_v avail_v nothing_o for_o safety_n when_o god_n declare_v by_o his_o judgement_n i_o even_o i_o be_o against_o thou_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o worst_a of_o judgement_n thus_o you_o have_v the_o reason_n which_o evince_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o awful_a doctrine_n i_o now_o come_v to_o make_v some_o brief_a application_n of_o the_o whole_a the_o application_n of_o the_o doctrine_n be_v this_o if_o this_o be_v so_o as_o you_o hear_v it_o be_v of_o all_o judgement_n for_o the_o great_a god_n to_o manifest_v or_o declare_v himself_o against_o a_o people_n or_o a_o nation_n be_v the_o worst_a and_o forest_n then_o 1._o from_o hence_o we_o may_v plain_o see_v the_o evil_a and_o mischievous_a nature_n and_o consequence_n of_o sin_n wheresoever_o and_o by_o whosoever_o it_o be_v commit_v and_o continue_v in_o without_o repentance_n and_o reformation_n it_o set_v the_o great_a god_n and_o his_o creature_n at_o variance_n one_o with_o another_o therefore_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o even_o i_o be_o against_o thou_o as_o in_o the_o text_n and_o wherefore_o because_o you_o have_v multiply_v more_o than_o the_o nation_n that_o be_v round_o about_o you_o and_o you_o have_v commit_v great_a abomination_n in_o my_o sight_n than_o the_o very_a heathen_n you_o have_v be_v in_o your_o moral_n more_o defective_a than_o they_o neither_o have_v do_v according_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o nation_n that_o be_v round_o about_o you_o you_o have_v be_v more_o false_a to_o i_o the_o true_a god_n than_o they_o have_v be_v to_o their_o false_a god_n you_o have_v excel_v they_o in_o wickedness_n therefore_o behold_v i_o even_o i_o be_o against_o you_o etc._n etc._n so_o as_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o great_a controversy_n god_n have_v with_o they_o even_o their_o great_a abomination_n and_o so_o if_o we_o ask_v wherefore_o be_v wrath_n go_v out_o from_o the_o lord_n against_o these_o kingdom_n why_o do_v the_o lord_n contend_v with_o we_o by_o the_o waste_a sword_n and_o impoverish_v judgement_n it_o be_v because_o of_o the_o iniquity_n that_o be_v in_o our_o skirt_n as_o israel_n way_n
