their_o side_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o crow_v long_o before_o it_o be_v day_n and_o great_a triumph_v among_o they_o before_o any_o stroke_n be_v strike_v and_o that_o because_o we_o be_v

that_o take_v away_o all_o sense_n and_o feel_v of_o sin_n and_o make_v it_o as_o it_o be_v a_o other_o nature_n unto_o we_o so_o that_o we_o may_v as_o well_o alter_v nature_n as_o shake_v it_o off_o when_o it_o be_v thus_o solder_v unto_o we_o through_o long_a custom_n this_o be_v note_v by_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n to_o be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a thing_n for_o he_o say_v 13.23_o can_v the_o

write_v pro._n 27._o though_o thou_o shall_v bray_v a_o fool_n in_o a_o mortar_n among_o wheat_n bray_v with_o a_o pestle_n yet_o will_v not_o his_o foolishness_n depart_v from_o he_o 27._o so_o that_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o custom_n with_o sin_n the_o door_n of_o heaven_n be_v bar_v up_o against_o us._n now_o let_v we_o hear_v of_o the_o five_o gate_n which_o be_v the_o long_o

heart_n of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n have_v set_v they_o to_o do_v evil_a where_o he_o show_v that_o one_o cause_n why_o man_n be_v so_o harden_v in_o their_o sin_n be_v because_o god_n winck_v at_o they_o and_o let_v they_o alone_o not_o punish_v they_o immediate_o after_o they_o have_v sin_v for_o if_o god_n shall_v forthwith_o strike_v down_o one_o and_o reign_v down_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n upon_o another_o &_o cause_v the_o earth_n to_o swallow_v up_o the_o three_o than_o man_n will_v fear_v indeed_o but_o god_n take_v not_o that_o course_n for_o though_o he_o méete_v with_o some_o in_o this_o life_n yet_o he_o let_v thousand_o escape_n and_o that_o make_v they_o more_o bold_a think_v they_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o their_o answer_n even_o as_o a_o old_a thief_n which_o have_v a_o long_a time_n escape_v both_o prison_n and_o gallows_n think_v he_o shall_v always_o escape_v and_o therefore_o go_v bold_o on_o in_o his_o theft_n but_o let_v man_n take_v heed_n for_o as_o the_o proverb_n say_v though_o the_o pitcher_n go_v long_o to_o the_o well_o yet_o at_o last_o it_o come_v break_v home_o so_o though_o man_n escape_v long_o unpunished_a for_o sin_n yet_o shall_v they_o not_o always_o be_v free_v for_o there_o will_v come_v a_o day_n of_o revenge_n a_o day_n that_o will_v pay_v they_o home_o for_o all_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o impunity_n lead_v number_n to_o destruction_n that_o be_v when_o man_n be_v let_v alone_o &_o not_o smite_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n nor_o punish_v by_o law_n of_o the_o magistrate_n the_o six_o gate_n be_v the_o behold_v of_o
