contumely_n and_o disgrace_n for_o our_o great_a glory_n be_v to_o be_v his_o and_o not_o our_o own_o you_o be_v not_o your_o own_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n say_v the_o bless_a apostle_n when_o therefore_o speak_v of_o jerusalem_n house_n he_o call_v it_o you_o this_o be_v i_o tell_v you_o a_o term_n of_o reprobation_n and_o signify_v that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o his_o he_o will_v no_o long_o own_v it_o from_o this_o word_n you_o i_o go_v forward_o to_o the_o next_o word_n house_n which_o be_v the_o next_o step_n in_o my_o text_n and_o find_v that_o this_o word_n may_v bear_v a_o double_a interpretation_n i_o draw_v from_o it_o a_o twofold_a lesson_n first_o i_o tell_v you_o this_o word_n house_n may_v signify_v the_o temple_n wherein_o he_o then_o be_v when_o he_o speak_v these_o word_n hence_o therefore_o in_o that_o we_o may_v well_o understand_v he_o to_o threaten_v that_o he_o will_v therefore_o leave_v the_o temple_n desolate_a i_o draw_v a_o lesson_n teach_v we_o to_o consider_v and_o lay_v unto_o our_o heart_n those_o fearful_a judgement_n which_o god_n do_v many_o time_n pour_v out_o even_o upon_o church_n and_o chapel_n and_o house_n dedicate_v to_o religion_n and_o service_n of_o god_n when_o they_o be_v abuse_v to_o superstition_n or_o hypocrisy_n second_o i_o tell_v you_o this_o word_n house_n may_v by_o a_o figure_n signify_v the_o city_n jerusalem_n or_o rather_o that_o whole_a estate_n and_o kingdom_n for_o it_o be_v a_o usual_a phrase_n in_o scripture_n by_o these_o word_n the_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o house_n of_o jacob_n to_o express_v that_o whole_a commonwealth_n hence_o therefore_o in_o that_o we_o may_v understand_v he_o to_o threaten_v the_o ruin_n of_o the_o whole_a estate_n and_o kingdom_n of_o the_o jew_n i_o draw_v a_o second_o lesson_n teach_v we_o to_o consider_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n many_o time_n pour_v out_o upon_o whole_a kingdom_n without_o respect_n when_o the_o people_n shall_v relapse_n from_o god_n and_o fall_v to_o sin_n now_o this_o lesson_n which_o then_o i_o only_o point_v at_o but_o come_v not_o so_o near_o as_o to_o touch_v it_o i_o purpose_v at_o this_o time_n by_o god_n grace_n full_o to_o unfold_v and_o insist_v upon_o for_o it_o be_v a_o lesson_n above_o all_o other_o teach_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n unto_o our_o way_n and_o to_o prepare_v ourselves_o to_o undergo_v the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o our_o god_n and_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o deserve_v this_o point_n to_o be_v careful_o look_v into_o because_o in_o this_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o whole_a kingdom_n something_o there_o be_v which_o seem_v to_o cross_v that_o justice_n by_o which_o the_o world_n be_v govern_v i_o have_v hear_v that_o in_o the_o civil_a law_n it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o danger_n and_o will_v bear_v a_o action_n if_o a_o man_n speak_v evil_a of_o a_o whole_a society_n or_o a_o whole_a nation_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v give_v because_o there_o be_v no_o society_n no_o
