sin_n though_o they_o project_v and_o design_v another_o namely_o their_o private_a gain_n and_o advantage_n let_v we_o remember_v then_o what_o the_o prophet_n isay_n have_v teach_v we_o the_o work_n

of_o this_o motive_n that_o a_o congregation_n of_o man_n conspire_v in_o a_o act_n of_o unrighteousness_n be_v but_o a_o sheaf_n of_o straw_n and_o a_o sheaf_n of_o straw_n be_v nothing_o in_o the_o

of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n what_o will_v become_v of_o this_o sheaf_n of_o straw_n and_o it_o be_v considerable_a to_o this_o purpose_n what_o david_n speak_v in_o the_o 82_o psalm_n god_n

it_o be_v with_o we_o when_o we_o sit_v and_o hear_v a_o discourse_n which_o we_o will_v listen_v better_o to_o we_o stand_v up_o and_o so_o here_o god_n be_v say_v to_o stand_v that_o be_v he_o be_v

his_o enemy_n to_o re-mind_n they_o that_o god_n stand_v in_o their_o congregation_n that_o he_o be_v present_a at_o all_o their_o meeting_n and_o attentive_a to_o all_o their_o debate_n that_o they_o be_v but_o a_o sheaf_n of_o straw_n he_o can_v break_v their_o band_n and_o scatter_v they_o as_o the_o chaff_n before_o the_o wind_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o motive_n to_o incline_v we_o to_o speak_v righteous_o and_o the_o second_o be_v this_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o we_o be_v but_o the_o son_n of_o men._n and_o upon_o this_o theme_n holy_a david_n in_o another_o psalm_n preach_v to_o we_o a_o lecture_n of_o mortality_n sure_o say_v he_o every_o man_n live_v be_v altogether_o vanity_n in_o the_o 62_o psalm_n he_o wrap_v up_o all_o mankind_n in_o that_o sheet_n of_o corruption_n man_n of_o low_a degree_n be_v vanity_n true_a there_o be_v but_o little_a doubt_n or_o dispute_v of_o that_o but_o what_o be_v man_n of_o a_o high_a degree_n they_o be_v a_o lie_n that_o be_v there_o be_v no_o safe_a depend_v on_o they_o their_o breath_n be_v in_o their_o nostril_n as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n and_o die_v they_o must_v and_o die_v they_o may_v assoon_o as_o other_o so_o that_o take_v the_o whole_a race_n of_o mankind_n together_o high_a and_o low_a rich_a and_o poor_a the_o mean_a and_o the_o mighty_a and_o lay_v they_o upon_o a_o balance_n and_o they_o be_v altogether_o light_a than_o vanity_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o david_n intend_v in_o that_o 82_o psalm_n when_o he_o say_v he_o judge_v among_o the_o god_n if_o god_n do_v only_o stand_v in_o the_o congregation_n of_o unrighteous_a man_n and_o hear_v and_o will_v do_v nothing_o the_o care_n be_v the_o less_o yea_o but_o say_v david_n here_o he_o stand_v to_o judge_v it_o be_v acute_o

for_o the_o conclusion_n of_o all_o let_v i_o recommend_v this_o one_o meditation_n to_o you_o i_o may_v call_v it_o a_o occasional_a meditation_n because_o you_o may_v have_v frequent_a occasion_n
