2_o sam._n 16.11_o mr._n fox_n make_v mention_n of_o a_o young_a man_n a_o martyr_n that_o when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o cart_n go_v to_o the_o fire_n his_o father_n who_o be_v a_o papist_n come_v out_o of_o his_o house_n and_o will_v have_v beat_v he_o but_o the_o people_n hinder_v he_o pray_v say_v he_o let_v he_o alone_o for_o he_o be_v my_o father_n so_o i_o say_v by_o hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o you_o will_v submit_v unto_o the_o lord_n because_o he_o be_v your_o father_n four_o by_o hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o you_o will_v be_v lead_v to_o prayer_n and_o be_v bring_v to_o pray_v prayer_n become_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n when_o they_o be_v under_o the_o rod_n pray_v tell_v i_o when_o the_o child_n be_v whip_v by_o his_o father_n do_v the_o child_n fall_v down_o to_o the_o rod_n and_o beg_v of_o the_o rod_n to_o spare_v he_o no_o but_o he_o fall_v down_o to_o he_o in_o who_o hand_n the_o rod_n be_v to_o his_o master_n or_o his_o father_n and_o cry_v to_o he_o o_o spare_v i_o pray_v spare_v i_o so_o be_v not_o stubborn_a but_o fall_v down_o to_o the_o lord_n when_o you_o be_v under_o the_o rod_n and_o say_v lord_n spare_v i_o do_v not_o say_v to_o the_o rod_n spare_v i_o do_v not_o cry_v to_o that_o when_o it_o be_v upon_o your_o back_n no_o but_o see_v god_n and_o observe_v his_o hand_n and_o cry_v to_o he_o for_o help_v but_o than_o three_o as_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o so_o it_o be_v also_o our_o true_a interest_n and_o best_a wisdom_n to_o do_v it_o because_o it_o be_v the_o way_n to_o prevent_v further_a stroke_n when_o a_o child_n be_v under_o the_o rod_n and_o will_v not_o submit_v why_o say_v the_o master_n since_o you_o be_v so_o

the_o master_n i_o have_v do_v too_o and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o we_o when_o we_o be_v under_o the_o rod_n if_o we_o be_v stubborn_a and_o refuse_v to_o hear_v the_o rod_n of_o god_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o well_o say_v god_n i_o will_v try_v who_o shall_v be_v master_n you_o or_o i_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o some_o man_n go_v so_o long_o so_o many_o year_n with_o the_o rod_n upon_o their_o back_n but_o because_o they_o have_v not_o hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o but_o now_o when_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v lord_z i_o have_v do_v why_o then_o say_v god_n i_o have_v do_v too_o o_o soul_n belove_a it_o be_v our_o best_a wisdom_n and_o our_o best_a course_n to_o hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v for_o application_n be_v this_o it_o be_v our_o true_a interest_n and_o best_a wisdom_n when_o the_o rod_n come_v to_o hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o as_o have_v be_v prove_v o_o than_o that_o man_n be_v wise_a and_o do_v understand_v it_o in_o this_o day_n o_o england_n england_n the_o rod_n be_v in_o thy_o street_n at_o this_o time_n certain_o there_o be_v a_o swing_a rod_n hang_v over_o this_o nation_n o_o england_n what_o shall_v i_o say_v unto_o thou_o but_o what_o the_o prophet_n say_v here_o hear_v you_o the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o o_o london_n hear_v thou_o the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o o_o norwich_n hear_v thou_o the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o o_o yarmouth_n hear_v thou_o the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o for_o you_o shall_v thereby_o honour_n god_n and_o strengthen_v your_o own_o faith_n you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o keep_v silence_n in_o the_o evil_a day_n you_o shall_v be_v make_v more_o fit_a to_o pray_v and_o the_o rod_n will_v be_v soon_o remove_v from_o you_o therefore_o as_o you_o desire_v that_o god_n may_v have_v the_o honour_n of_o all_o his_o dispensation_n and_o that_o your_o faith_n may_v be_v strengthen_v and_o that_o you_o may_v be_v enable_v to_o be_v silent_a in_o a_o evil_a day_n then_o hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o but_o you_o will_v say_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o we_o may_v hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o we_o do_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v a_o smart_a rod_n upon_o the_o back_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o upon_o the_o back_n of_o our_o family_n but_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o we_o may_v hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o i_o answer_v first_o stand_v and_o look_v upon_o the_o rod_n and_o you_o will_v find_v two_o thing_n especial_o in_o the_o rod_n 1._o your_o sin_n and_o 2._o god_n design_n as_o for_o your_o sin_n look_v what_o sin_n that_o be_v which_o god_n hold_v before_o your_o face_n before_o your_o conscience_n all_o the_o time_n he_o be_v strike_v of_o you_o with_o the_o rod_n that_o be_v the_o sin_n he_o strike_v you_o for_o if_o a_o dog_n worry_v a_o sheep_n you_o common_o go_v and_o beat_v the_o dog_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o worry_v sheep_n that_o the_o dog_n may_v thereby_o know_v and_o understand_v for_o what_o he_o be_v beat_v so_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v and_o hold_v out_o one_o sin_n for_o you_o to_o look_v on_o especial_o than_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a the_o rod_n come_v upon_o you_o for_o that_o sin_n again_o look_v what_o sin_n that_o be_v which_o do_v natural_o bring_v the_o rod_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n be_v drink_v and_o do_v thereby_o bring_v himself_o into_o a_o favour_n will_v you_o not_o say_v that_o drunkenness_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o again_o look_v what_o sin_n that_o be_v which_o be_v most_o like_a the_o rod_n of_o all_o other_o that_o sin_n be_v that_o which_o bring_v the_o rod_n as_o for_o example_n suppose_v the_o rod_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v decay_n of_o trading_n may_v we_o not_o think_v that_o some_o steal_v wedg_n of_o gold_n be_v in_o this_o nation_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o rod_n because_o it_o be_v like_o it_o or_o suppose_v the_o rod_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v the_o lord_n forsake_v of_o it_o may_v we_o not_o think_v that_o apostasy_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o because_o it_o be_v like_o it_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v hear_v the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o then_o observe_v what_o sin_n that_o be_v which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o but_o second_o and_o so_o to_o conclude_v as_o you_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o your_o sin_n so_o also_o upon_o god_n design_n in_o the_o rod_n now_o god_n seldom_o or_o never_o give_v any_o mercy_n to_o a_o people_n but_o he_o first_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o quite_o contrary_a condition_n as_o for_o example_n if_o god_n intend_v to_o give_v you_o great_a assurance_n of_o his_o love_n he_o will_v first_o suffer_v you_o to_o fall_v into_o great_a temptation_n and_o darkness_n that_o he_o may_v thereby_o fit_v you_o for_o great_a assurance_n or_o if_o god_n intend_v to_o raise_v you_o to_o great_a honour_n in_o the_o world_n he_o will_v first_o suffer_v you_o to_o lie_v under_o some_o great_a reproach_n that_o you_o may_v be_v thereby_o the_o more_o fit_a for_o your_o honour_n and_o so_o if_o god_n intend_v to_o fix_v and_o settle_v a_o nation_n he_o will_v first_o suffer_v it_o to_o come_v into_o great_a confusion_n and_o tumult_n because_o the_o lord_n will_v thereby_o prepare_v that_o nation_n for_o the_o glorious_a settlement_n which_o he_o intend_v how_o be_v it_o therefore_o with_o you_o do_v you_o feel_v or_o see_v the_o rod_n of_o god_n upon_o this_o nation_n or_o upon_o your_o family_n or_o upon_o the_o back_n of_o your_o own_o particular_a person_n then_o hear_v you_o the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o for_o god_n rod_n be_v a_o teach_a rod_n and_o it_o bring_v many_o lesson_n with_o it_o therefore_o what_o i_o say_v to_o one_o i_o say_v to_o all_o and_o to_o my_o own_o soul_n also_o hear_v you_o the_o rod_n and_o who_o have_v appoint_v it_o sermon_n vii_o amos_n 4.12_o therefore_o thus_o will_v i_o do_v unto_o thou_o o_o israel_n and_o because_o i_o will_v do_v this_o unto_o thou_o prepare_v to_o meet_v thy_o god_n o_o israel_n in_o this_o chapter_n the_o prophet_n amos_n endeavour_v to_o pronounce_v some_o heavy_a judgement_n against_o god_n own_o people_n israel_n wherein_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n most_o considerable_a 1._o the_o judgement_n threaten_v 2._o the_o cause_n of_o the_o judgement_n and_o 3._o the_o inference_n thereupon_o first_o

the_o judgement_n threaten_v and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o second_o and_o three_o verse_n the_o lord_n have_v swear_v by_o his_o holiness_n that_o to_o the_o day_n shall_v come_v upon_o you_o that_o he_o will_v take_v you_o away_o with_o hook_n and_o your_o posterity_n with_o fishhook_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o will_v send_v angler_n among_o you_o that_o shall_v pull_v you_o out_o of_o your_o house_n as_o the_o little_a fish_n be_v pull_v out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o then_o he_o go_v on_o in_o the_o three_o verse_n and_o you_o shall_v go_v out_o at_o the_o breach_n say_v the_o lord_n though_o you_o be_v great_a and_o strong_a yet_o will_v i_o make_v breach_n among_o you_o say_v the_o lord_n this_o be_v the_o judgement_n threaten_v second_o here_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o judgement_n and_o that_o be_v therefold_a first_o oppression_n as_o at_o the_o first_o verse_n hear_v this_o word_n you_o kine_n of_o bashan_n that_o be_v in_o the_o mountain_n of_o samaria_n which_o oppress_v the_o poor_a which_o crush_v the_o needy_a and_o so_o forth_o second_o another_o cause_n be_v idolatry_n and_o superstition_n as_o at_o the_o 4._o and_o 5._o verse_n come_v you_o to_o bethel_n and_o transgress_v at_o gilgal_n multiply_v transgression_n proclaim_v and_o publish_v the_o free_a offering_n for_o this_o like_v you_o o_o you_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v the_o lord_n god_n three_o the_o three_o cause_n be_v their_o incorrigableness_n as_o at_o the_o 6._o verse_n i_o have_v give_v you_o cleanness_n of_o tooth_n in_o all_o your_o city_n and_o want_v of_o bread_n in_o all_o your_o place_n yet_o have_v you_o not_o return_v to_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o at_o the_o 7._o verse_n and_o also_o i_o have_v withheld_a rain_n from_o you_o and_o i_o have_v cause_v it_o to_o rain_v upon_o one_o city_n and_o not_o upon_o another_o city_n so_o two_o or_o three_o city_n wander_v unto_o one_o city_n to_o drink_v water_n but_o they_o be_v not_o satisfy_v yet_o have_v you_o not_o return_v unto_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o at_o the_o 9_o verse_n i_o have_v smite_v you_o with_o blast_a and_o with_o mildew_n when_o your_o garden_n and_o your_o vineyard_n and_o your_o figtree_n and_o your_o olive_n tree_n increase_v the_o palmer_n worm_n devour_v they_o yet_o have_v you_o not_o return_v unto_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o at_o the_o 10._o verse_n i_o have_v send_v among_o you_o the_o pestilence_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o egypt_n your_o young_a man_n have_v i_o slay_v with_o the_o sword_n and_o have_v take_v away_o your_o horse_n and_o i_o have_v make_v the_o stink_n of_o your_o camp_n to_o come_v up_o unto_o your_o nostril_n yet_o have_v you_o not_o return_v unto_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o at_o the_o 11._o verse_n i_o have_v overthrow_v some_o of_o you_o as_o god_n overthrow_v sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n and_o you_o be_v as_o a_o firebrand_n pluck_v out_o of_o the_o burn_a yet_o have_v you_o not_o return_v unto_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n three_o therefore_o by_o way_n of_o inference_n he_o conclude_v therefore_o this_o will_v i_o do_v unto_o thou_o o_o israel_n and_o because_o i_o will_v do_v this_o unto_o thou_o prepare_z to_z neat_fw-mi thy_o god_n o_o israel_n in_o these_o word_n you_o have_v a_o double_a inference_n which_o god_n make_v first_o therefore_o thus_o will_v i_o do_v unto_o thou_o i_o have_v be_v a_o long_a time_n strive_v with_o you_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v and_o i_o have_v be_v at_o a_o stand_n whether_o i_o shall_v punish_v you_o or_o not_o yet_o have_v you_o not_o return_v unto_o i_o therefore_o now_o i_o be_o resolve_v thus_o will_v i_o do_v unto_o thou_o and_o then_o second_o now_o i_o be_o resolve_v prepare_v to_o meet_v thy_o god_n o_o israel_n therefore_o do_v thou_o prepare_v to_o meet_v thy_o god_n o_o israel_n i_o do_v not_o send_v you_o a_o challenge_v say_v god_n that_o you_o shall_v prepare_v to_o meet_v with_o your_o god_n to_o fight_v with_o he_o or_o to_o resist_v he_o not_o to_o meet_v god_n in_o his_o anger_n and_o to_o oppose_v he_o no_o but_o prepare_v to_o meet_v thy_o god_n by_o prevent_v his_o judgement_n with_o your_o repentance_n and_o return_v unto_o he_o if_o a_o man_n be_v come_v to_o your_o house_n and_o you_o go_v out_o to_o meet_v he_o why_o then_o you_o prevent_v he_o by_o meeting_n of_o he_o so_o when_o we_o prevent_v god_n judgement_n by_o our_o repentance_n we_o be_v say_v to_o meet_v with_o god_n from_o hence_o then_o i_o take_v up_o this_o observation_n or_o doctrine_n that_o when_o god_n be_v resolve_v to_o come_v out_o against_o a_o nation_n or_o people_n it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o prepare_v to_o meet_v with_o god_n for_o the_o open_n and_o prosecute_n hereof_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o show_v you_o first_o that_o god_n do_v seem_v sometime_o to_o be_v at_o a_o stand_v concern_v a_o people_n whether_o he_o shall_v trust_v to_o they_o any_o long_a or_o not_o or_o whether_o he_o shall_v punish_v they_o or_o not_o second_o that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o come_v to_o he_o and_o meet_v with_o he_o he_o will_v then_o resolve_v to_o go_v out_o against_o they_o in_o his_o wrath_n three_o that_o when_o god_n do_v resolve_v to_o go_v out_o against_o a_o people_n in_o his_o wrath_n it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o prepare_v to_o meet_v he_o four_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o show_v how_o a_o people_n or_o family_n or_o person_n may_v prepare_v themselves_o to_o meet_v with_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o anger_n when_o he_o be_v go_v out_o against_o they_o first_o though_o god_n be_v always_o resolve_v in_o himself_o what_o to_o do_v with_o a_o people_n yet_o he_o seem_v to_o we_o to_o be_v at_o a_o stand_n whether_o he_o shall_v deliver_v they_o or_o not_o or_o whether_o he_o shall_v punish_v they_o or_o not_o whether_o he_o shall_v show_v mercy_n to_o they_o or_o not_o as_o you_o may_v see_v exod._a 33.5_o for_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o moses_n say_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n you_o be_v a_o stiffnecked_a people_n i_o will_v come_v up_o into_o the_o midst_n of_o thou_o in_o a_o moment_n and_o consume_v thou_o therefore_o now_o put_v off_o thy_o ornament_n
