do_v they_o have_v the_o ark_n bu●_n what_o do_v they_o do_v with_o it_o why_o they_o set_v it_o up_o in_o the_o house_n of_o dagon_n but_o dagon_n and_o the_o ark_n will_v never_o agree_v always_o when_o dagon_n and_o the_o false_a religion_n go_v in_o at_o one_o door_n the_o ark_n and_o the_o true_a religion_n go_v out_o at_o the_o other_o door_n we_o must_v nor_o therefore_o put_v the_o ark_n and_o dagon_n together_o second_o what_o must_v the_o minister_n do_v to_o keep_v the_o ark_n from_o be_v lose_v why_o the_o minister_n that_o bear_v the_o ark_n must_v be_v ho●y_n the_o ark_n will_v

the_o people_n in_o the_o text_n they_o think_v the_o very_a presence_n of_o the_o ark_n will_v have_v secure_v they_o and_o therefore_o they_o carry_v the_o ark_n into_o the_o camp_n though_o they_o do_v not_o repent_v and_o reform_v yet_o they_o think_v if_o the_o ark_n be_v in_o the_o camp_n they_o be_v secure_a and_o thus_o many_o think_v if_o they_o can_v get_v a_o good_a minister_n certain_o god_n will_v bless_v they_o though_o they_o themselves_o be_v never_o so_o wicked_a this_o be_v to_o idolise_v the_o ark_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o will_v secure_v a_o nation_n but_o repentance_n and_o reformation_n it_o be_v not_o the_o have_v the_o gospel_n but_o the_o live_a answerable_a to_o the_o gospel_n that_o will_v secure_v the_o gospel_n take_v heed_n therefore_o of_o idoliziog_n the_o ark_n second_o we_o must_v not_o undervalue_v the_o ark_n this_o be_v michal_n her_o sin_n david_n dance_v before_o the_o ark_n and_o michal_n mock_v he_o but_o say_v david_n it_o be_v before_o

sir_n this_o be_v so_o undervalue_v the_o ark_n and_o the_o faithful_a minister_n of_o christ_n must_v say_v if_o this_o be_v to_o be_v vile_a to_o preach_v twice_o a_o day_n to_o fast_o and_o pray_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o a_o nation_n we_o will_v be_v more_o vile_a still_o three_o we_o must_v not_o pry_v into_o the_o atk_n this_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o be●hshemites_n god_n destroy_v 50000._o of_o they_o for_o lo●king_v into_o the_o ark_n you_o must_v not_o be_v curious_a in_o pry_v into_o wha●_n god_n have_v not_o reveal_v there_o be_v great_a thought_n of_o heart_n when_o god_n

in_o danger_n of_o be_v lose_v arg._n 1._o the_o first_o encourage_v argument_n be_v this_o because_o god_n have_v do_v great_a thing_n already_o for_o this_o nation_n and_o i_o argue_v like_o man●a's_n wife_n sure_o say_v she_o to_o her_o husband_n if_o go●●ould_v have_v destroy_v we_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v so_o much_o for_o we_o but_o god_n have_v do_v so_o much_o for_o we_o that_o sure_o he_o will_v not_o now_o forsake_v we_o and_o that_o may_v be_v some_o ground_n of_o hope_n that_o though_o our_o heart_n do_v tremble_v yet_o let_v they_o not_o sink_v within_o we_o second_o another_o encouragement_n of_o hope_n be_v from_o the_o abundance_n of_o pray_v people_n in_o the_o nation_n there_o be_v many_o that_o pray_v to_o god_n night_n and_o day_n that_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n may_v not_o be_v lose_v and_o let_v i_o assure_v you_o one_o thing_n this_o morning_n god_n never_o do_v destroy_v a_o pray_v and_o reform_v people_n when_o god_n intend_v to_o destroy_v a_o nation_n to_o take_v away_o its_o ark_n he_o take_v away_o the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n from_o that_o people_n where_o god_n continue_v a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n there_o god_n will_v be_v present_a and_o there_o god_n will_v continue_v his_o ark_n you_o all_o know_v if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o ten_o good_a man_n in_o five_o city_n god_n
