this_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n they_o must_v make_v the_o thing_n they_o be_v obs_a 2_o to_o preach_v to_o the_o people_n as_o real_a before_o their_o eye_n as_o possible_o they_o can_v press_v sermon_n must_v represent_v to_o the_o life_n what_o they_o press_v they_o shall_v study_v all_o way_n and_o mean_v they_o can_v to_o make_v what_o they_o preach_v to_o the_o people_n to_o be_v real_a to_o they_o not_o to_o be_v as_o notion_n to_o they_o so_o the_o prophet_n here_o he_o have_v preach_v often_o time_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n of_o the_o sword_n but_o this_o will_v not_o do_v it_o therefore_o now_o he_o strive_v to_o make_v what_o he_o have_v deliver_v to_o appear_v in_o the_o most_o real_a way_n that_o possible_o he_o can_v to_o the_o eye_n and_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n &_o he_o see_v that_o to_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o do_v they_o good_a it_o be_v not_o therefore_o enough_o for_o a_o minister_n bare_o to_o tell_v the_o people_n truth_n to_o tell_v they_o what_o danger_n they_o be_v in_o but_o by_o all_o mean_n of_o expression_n that_o may_v be_v to_o make_v this_o appear_v in_o the_o reality_n of_o it_o unto_o they_o we_o know_v how_o ezekiel_n

prophet_n now_o though_o minister_n can_v do_v so_o as_o they_o do_v yet_o they_o be_v to_o study_v all_o manner_n of_o expression_n that_o possible_o they_o can_v to_o present_a thing_n in_o the_o

able_a to_o make_v thing_n appear_v real_a to_o they_o preach_v wherein_o especial_o consist_v the_o art_n of_o preach_v the_o art_n of_o preach_v i_o say_v lie_v especial_o in_o this_o to_o make_v thing_n appear_v real_a to_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o auditory_a as_o now_o when_o we_o come_v to_o tell_v you_o of_o the_o danger_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n that_o be_v due_a to_o it_o we_o tell_v you_o this_o and_o we_o quote_v scripture_n for_o it_o this_o perhaps_o stir_v not_o the_o heart_n but_o now_o if_o we_o can_v so_o present_a god_n wrath_n to_o you_o to_o make_v it_o real_a before_o your_o eye_n to_o put_v you_o upon_o this_o to_o bethink_v yourselves_o in_o what_o a_o case_n you_o will_v be_v if_o now_o all_o creature_n be_v take_v their_o leaf_n of_o you_o if_o now_o you_o be_v stand_v before_o the_o great_a god_n to_o receive_v the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n otherwise_o more_o good_a this_o way_n in_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n than_o in_o many_o

the_o power_n of_o a_o ministry_n consist_v much_o in_o this_o and_o i_o suppose_v some_o of_o you_o know_v by_o experience_n what_o that_o be_v that_o now_o i_o mean_v by_o the_o minister_n make_v thing_n real_a to_o your_o heart_n have_v not_o you_o find_v sometime_o some_o truth_n make_v so_o real_a to_o you_o out_o of_o the_o word_n real_o when_o a_o sermon_n work_v real_o to_o your_o conscience_n that_o you_o have_v think_v that_o you_o have_v even_o stand_v before_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n and_o you_o have_v think_v that_o god_n be_v even_o pronounce_v sentence_n against_o you_o some_o have_v express_v it_o thus_o and_o have_v say_v such_o a_o time_n i_o go_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o i_o think_v there_o i_o be_v summon_v before_o the_o great_a god_n unto_o

the_o very_a flash_n of_o hell_n fire_n upon_o my_o conscience_n i_o feel_v this_o upon_o i_o now_o god_n be_v in_o the_o word_n indeed_o when_o the_o reality_n of_o thing_n be_v present_v to_o my_o soul_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v the_o labour_n and_o endeavour_v of_o godly_a minister_n in_o their_o study_n not_o only_o to_o speak_v a_o hour_n or_o two_o out_o of_o a_o text_n and_o to_o wear_v out_o so_o much_o time_n but_o they_o be_v think_v what_o way_n shall_v i_o take_v &_o so_o they_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v help_v they_o to_o take_v such_o a_o way_n to_o present_v such_o and_o such_o truth_n in_o the_o great_a reality_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o their_o audience_n that_o possible_o they_o can_v this_o be_v apparent_a from_o hence_o that_o the_o prophet_n do_v not_o only_o

of_o god_n be_v at_o first_o to_o be_v the_o ambassador_n obser_n 3_o of_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n war_n minister_n after_o their_o embassy_n of_o peace_n be_v slight_v must_v denounce_v war_n to_o preach_v peace_n between_o god_n and_o people_n but_o yet_o if_o this_o their_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n do_v not_o take_v effect_n if_o it_o prevail_v not_o then_o they_o be_v to_o come_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o proclaim_v the_o war_n of_o god_n against_o a_o soul_n for_o they_o know_v that_o god_n must_v have_v honour_n one_o way_n or_o other_o either_o by_o people_n subject_v themselves_o unto_o he_o or_o by_o god_n revenge_v himself_o upon_o they_o honour_n god_n must_v have_v howsoever_o you_o may_v think_v the_o word_n of_o god_n will_v pass_v yet_o those_o that_o be_v faithful_a minister_n they_o know_v god_n must_v have_v his_o honour_n one_o way_n or_o
in_o the_o least_o degree_n last_o because_o then_o all_o service_n be_v reject_v and_o god_n will_v reas_n 7_o be_v no_o more_o entreat_v for_o they_o now_o conscience_n smite_v and_o torment_v the_o

psal_n 6.1_o lord_n rebuke_v we_o not_o in_o thy_o wrath_n and_o as_o the_o prophet_n in_o jer._n 17.17_o use_v be_v not_o a_o terror_n unto_o i_o o_o lord_n but_o now_o because_o tender_a

take_v heed_n of_o such_o unbelieved_a reason_n they_o be_v very_o much_o displease_v unto_o god_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o rebuke_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o godly_a and_o the_o wicked_a though_o perhaps_o rebuke_v both_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o affliction_n as_o the_o apothecary_n break_v bezoar_n stone_n to_o powder_n but_o be_v very_o careful_a of_o it_o

vision_n from_o god_n but_o now_o the_o question_n be_v quest_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v whether_o those_o rebuke_n that_o be_v upon_o we_o be_v intend_v for_o our_o good_a or_o our_o hurt_n our_o desolation_n or_o our_o restoration_n it_o may_v be_v know_v thus_o if_o god_n displeasure_n be_v such_o answ_n that_o we_o find_v he_o more_o set_v against_o our_o sin_n than_o our_o person_n it_o be_v a_o arument_n he_o intend_v our_o good_a not_o our_o hurt_n in_o his_o rebuke_n upon_o we_o but_o you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v as_o difficult_a as_o the_o other_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v god_n aim_v at_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o our_o person_n thus_o if_o his_o rebuke_n work_v we_o to_o a_o humiliation_n for_o our_o sin_n a_o resignation_n of_o ourselves_o up_o unto_o god_n dispose_n and_o to_o accept_v of_o the_o punishment_n of_o our_o iniquity_n this_o be_v a_o argument_n god_n aim_v at_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o at_o our_o person_n in_o his_o rebuke_n and_o so_o in_o they_o our_o good_a and_o not_o our_o hurt_n but_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o wicked_a man_n in_o their_o rebuke_n to_o cry_v out_o of_o their_o sin_n it_o be_v their_o sin_n that_o bring_v this_o upon_o they_o but_o here_o the_o difference_n be_v thus_o discern_v first_o they_o cry_v out_o of_o their_o sin_n but_o per_fw-la accidence_n but_o of_o the_o judgement_n per_fw-la se_fw-la as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v the_o judgement_n trouble_v they_o more_o than_o their_o sin_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o judgement_n but_o the_o godly_a cry_n out_o of_o their_o sinâ—_n per_fw-la se_fw-la and_o of_o the_o
