take_v from_o among_o you_o for_o who_o know_v whether_o god_n spare_v this_o congregation_n even_o for_o this_o good_a man_n sake_n for_o it_o be_v the_o righteous_a only_o that_o god_n respect_n and_o for_o their_o sake_n he_o will_v spare_v a_o whole_a people_n therefore_o sure_o as_o solomon_n say_v the_o righteous_a be_v better_a than_o his_o neighbour_n yea_o though_o never_o so_o poor_a and_o despise_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o be_v they_o precious_a in_o god_n account_n when_o i_o make_v up_o my_o jewel_n say_v god_n i_o will_v spare_v they_o mal._n 3._o 17._o so_o that_o the_o righteous_a be_v god_n jewel_n the_o excellent_a of_o the_o earth_n be_v precious_a in_o god_n sight_n and_o have_v we_o not_o great_a cause_n then_o to_o lament_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o such_o see_v then_o it_o become_v all_o god_n child_n to_o lament_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a o_o how_o far_o then_o be_v all_o such_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n who_o be_v so_o far_o from_o lament_v that_o on_o the_o contrary_n they_o rejoice_v at_o the_o death_n of_o the_o godly_a man_n because_o he_o stand_v in_o their_o way_n they_o can_v not_o follow_v their_o work_n of_o

the_o righteous_a be_v take_v from_o the_o earth_n than_o they_o lie_v open_a unto_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n but_o as_o the_o sodomite_n thrust_v out_o just_a lot_n out_o of_o their_o city_n that_o so_o god_n vengeance_n may_v fall_v the_o soon_o upon_o they_o for_o till_o he_o be_v go_v the_o lord_n will_v not_o destroy_v they_o gen._n 19_o 21._o even_o so_o do_v these_o man_n desire_v

of_o such_o man_n how_o full_a of_o comfortable_a speech_n be_v this_o poor_a man_n always_o minister_a comfort_n to_o those_o that_o come_v to_o visit_v he_o what_o a_o loss_n be_v this_o then_o

of_o our_o fellow-member_n in_o this_o then_o examine_v thyself_o how_o it_o be_v with_o thou_o when_o thou_o hear_v of_o any_o of_o the_o faithful_a that_o be_v take_v away_o be_v thou_o grieve_v

free_v from_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v thus_o good_a josiah_n must_v perish_v in_o his_o young_a year_n that_o so_o he_o may_v not_o be_v take_v with_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v i_o will_v gather_v

indeed_o thus_o ordinary_o god_n take_v away_o his_o servant_n from_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v see_v here_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n unto_o his_o child_n in_o that_o he_o take_v they_o away_o from_o among_o the_o wicked_a he_o call_v they_o out_o of_o this_o world_n that_o they_o may_v not_o partake_v of_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v shall_v any_o one_o then_o think_v it_o a_o curse_n to_o be_v

sin_n hang_v over_o our_o head_n and_o be_v ready_a every_o day_n to_o seize_v upon_o we_o second_o see_v that_o god_n when_o he_o mean_v to_o bring_v any_o heavy_a judgement_n upon_o a_o people_n do_v ordinary_o take_v away_o the_o righteous_a from_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v this_o show_v that_o when_o the_o righteous_a be_v take_v from_o among_o we_o we_o be_v certain_o to_o expect_v some_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o we_o for_o these_o be_v they_o which_o stand_v in_o the_o gap_n and_o keep_v off_o the_o fire_n of_o god_n wrath_n from_o we_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o consume_v we_o but_o now_o be_v go_v we_o lie_v open_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o when_o any_o righteous_a man_n be_v take_v from_o we_o the_o loss_n of_o they_o ought_v to_o drive_v we_o to_o repentance_n lest_o god_n judgement_n come_v present_o upon_o we_o and_o consume_v we_o therefore_o we_o must_v forsake_v our_o sin_n and_o evil_a way_n and_o perform_v new_a obedience_n unto_o god_n so_o will_v he_o be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o yea_o he_o will_v be_v a_o shield_n of_o defence_n unto_o we_o and_o a_o wall_n of_o fire_n about_o we_o and_o he_o will_v turn_v away_o his_o
