yet_o in_o set_v forth_o of_o this_o wonderful_a judgement_n and_o in_o the_o 8._o verse_n he_o let_v we_o see_v that_o this_o great_a and_o terrible_a judgement_n be_v wrought_v by_o the_o power_n and_o force_v of_o god_n only_o it_o be_v do_v extraordinary_o from_o the_o heaven_n by_o himself_o only_o so_o that_o the_o whole_a world_n see_v the_o finger_n and_o hand_n of_o god_n in_o it_o then_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o eight_o verse_n i_o say_v division_n he_o make_v it_o know_v that_o he_o do_v it_o only_o and_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o verse_n he_o let_v we_o see_v what_o his_o judgement_n wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n in_o the_o 9_o verse_n he_o let_v we_o see_v the_o time_n when_o it_o be_v that_o it_o please_v he_o to_o work_v it_o and_o to_o what_o end_n he_o wrought_v it_o in_o the_o 10._o verse_n he_o let_v we_o see_v whereunto_o the_o great_a fury_n and_o rage_n of_o the_o wicked_a serve_v and_o in_o the_o end_n of_o that_o verse_n he_o meet_v with_o a_o objection_n which_o the_o church_n may_v have_v make_v and_o in_o the_o last_o two_o verse_n be_v contain_v the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o psalm_n then_o to_o rerurne_v to_o the_o 8._o verse_n 8._o in_o the_o begin_n thereof_o the_o prophet_n make_v it_o know_v work_n that_o it_o be_v god_n only_o that_o do_v this_o work_n immediate_o without_o the_o employment_n of_o any_o creature_n and_o therefore_o this_o manner_n of_o execution_n testify_v to_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o god_n only_o be_v the_o chief_a doer_n of_o it_o then_o the_o chief_a reason_n that_o move_v god_n to_o do_v this_o extraordinary_o and_o immediate_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n be_v this_o although_o our_o god_n have_v infinite_a way_n and_o as_o many_o mean_n in_o his_o hand_n at_o all_o time_n ready_a to_o destroy_v his_o enemy_n yet_o such_o be_v the_o malice_n of_o man_n and_o the_o envy_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o possess_v man_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o so_o long_o as_o god_n work_v his_o work_n ordinary_o and_o employ_v this_o or_o that_o instrument_n in_o do_v of_o his_o work_n so_o long_a man_n spoil_v god_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o spoil_v he_o of_o a_o part_n of_o his_o praise_n so_o that_o man_n will_v sometime_o ascribe_v the_o glory_n to_o his_o own_o industry_n and_o wit_n or_o to_o fortune_n or_o to_o one_o occasion_n or_o other_o so_o that_o ere_o they_o suffer_v god_n to_o have_v his_o whole_a glory_n they_o will_v give_v a_o part_n of_o it_o to_o any_o creature_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o this_o cause_n the_o lord_n work_v extraordinary_o and_o from_o heaven_n that_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o the_o world_n yea_o of_o the_o very_a enemy_n may_v be_v compel_v to_o say_v and_o this_o confession_n must_v be_v wring_v out_o of_o they_o that_o it_o be_v the_o finger_n of_o god_n that_o wrought_v this_o without_o the_o support_n of_o any_o creature_n after_o what_o sort_n he_o wrought_v this_o overthrow_n i_o will_v not_o dispute_v in_o particular_a whether_o it_o be_v by_o lightning_n thunder_z earthquake_n upon_o this_o i_o insist_v not_o the_o general_n be_v sure_a and_o certain_a that_o it_o be_v a_o work_n that_o flow_v from_o heaven_n immediate_o work_n now_o he_o say_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o verse_n that_o this_o terrible_a judgement_n bring_v forth_o two_o effect_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n first_o it_o bring_v forth_o a_o wonderful_a fear_n and_o second_o it_o bring_v forth_o a_o great_a silence_n their_o tongue_n be_v take_v from_o they_o the_o earth_n fear_v and_o be_v still_o by_o the_o

with_o their_o blasphemy_n the_o night_n before_o when_o they_o see_v this_o terrible_a judgement_n be_v silent_a and_o have_v not_o a_o word_n to_o speak_v it_o be_v wonderful_a the_o lord_n manner_n of_o do_v and_o proceed_n be_v a_o hide_a manner_n of_o do_v against_o his_o enemy_n and_o few_o perceive_v the_o fashion_n of_o the_o bring_n about_o of_o his_o judgement_n for_o you_o see_v he_o take_v his_o enemy_n in_o a_o instant_n at_o unaware_o while_o a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o height_n of_o his_o pride_n he_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o counsel_n he_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o force_n and_o spoil_v he_o both_o of_o heart_n and_o hand_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o have_v no_o wit_n to_o devise_v more_o than_o a_o ass_n and_o have_v not_o a_o hand_n to_o perform_v any_o more_o than_o if_o he_o want_v hand_n so_o he_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o policy_n &_o exquisite_a judgement_n and_o how_o be_v this_o do_v it_o be_v by_o a_o blind_a fear_n that_o he_o strike_v they_o with_o he_o cast_v they_o into_o such_o anguish_n and_o blindness_n of_o mind_n that_o they_o neither_o see_v god_n who_o be_v the_o striker_n nor_o can_v find_v any_o way_n out_o but_o be_v cast_v into_o a_o desperate_a estate_n and_o utter_a darkness_n remediless_a and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o these_o miserable_a man_n lay_v violent_a hand_n on_o themselves_o think_v that_o the_o

of_o god_n when_o it_o light_v how_o long_o soever_o it_o be_v delay_v terrible_a shall_v it_o be_v when_o it_o light_v on_o the_o enemy_n it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o cast_v ourselves_o

of_o his_o word_n examine_v your_o call_n by_o his_o word_n and_o if_o you_o examine_v your_o call_n by_o his_o word_n this_o way_n you_o shall_v find_v the_o fruit_n or_o loss_n of_o your_o call_n but_o if_o you_o depend_v on_o the_o testimony_n of_o your_o conscience_n without_o the_o examination_n and_o rule_n of_o his_o word_n you_o will_v be_v deceive_v for_o many_o do_v this_o and_o say_v i_o be_o not_o trouble_v in_o conscience_n i_o be_o sure_a my_o conscience_n press_v i_o not_o when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o run_v a_o wicked_a course_n &_o try_v not_o their_o call_n by_o

but_o thou_o be_v deceive_v and_o why_o thy_o conscience_n may_v be_v deceive_v as_o well_o as_o thou_o and_o how_o thy_o conscience_n can_v give_v thou_o no_o better_a warrant_n of_o thy_o do_v
