all_o that_o the_o prophet_n and_o preacher_n can_v do_v for_o when_o wrath_n come_v upon_o judah_n and_o jerusalem_n for_o their_o trespass_n god_n almighty_a send_v prophet_n to_o they_o to_o

to_o see_v if_o that_o will_n reclaim_v '_o they_o they_o be_v once_o spoil_a by_o the_o syrian_n and_o afterward_o by_o the_o israelite_n and_o humble_v one_o will_v think_v very_o severe_o but_o

at_o a_o stand_n what_o will_v the_o denounce_v of_o judgement_n signify_v when_o the_o very_a execution_n of_o they_o have_v have_v no_o good_a effect_n thus_o we_o find_v the_o prophet_n hosea_n speak_v as_o from_o god_n about_o this_o time_n to_o both_o the_o nation_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n chap._n 6._o v._n 4._o o_o ephraim_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v unto_o thou_o o_o judah_n what_o

all_o the_o prophet_n of_o those_o day_n thus_o we_o find_v the_o prophet_n amos_n in_o his_o second_o chapter_n for_o three_o transgression_n of_o judah_n and_o for_o four_o i_o will_v not_o turn_v away_o the_o punishment_n thereof_o but_o i_o will_v send_v a_o fire_n upon_o judah_n and_o it_o shall_v devour_v the_o palace_n of_o jerusalem_n but_o after_o all_o the_o denunciation_n and_o execution_n of_o god_n anger_n there_o be_v still_o no_o amendment_n the_o prophet_n isaiah_n therefore_o here_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o prophecy_n have_v call_v heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o

when_o god_n almighty_a by_o manifest_a and_o sufficient_a sign_n and_o token_n of_o his_o anger_n have_v visit_v they_o frequent_o with_o calamity_n and_o judgement_n will_v not_o repent_v but_o go_v on_o still_o in_o their_o wickedness_n be_v not_o to_o expect_v any_o other_o overture_n till_o a_o utter_a ruin_n and_o final_a destruction_n come_v upon_o '_o they_o and_o this_o proposition_n
