alteration_n upon_o they_o for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o bare_a sin_v in_o a_o nation_n from_o which_o there_o be_v none_o that_o can_v ever_o plead_v exemption_n but_o a_o sin_v in_o some_o high_a

the_o impulsive_a cause_n that_o move_v he_o to_o it_o and_o this_o be_v a_o impudent_a and_o shameless_a sin_v against_o god_n for_o they_o do_v not_o commit_v their_o sin_n in_o a_o corner_n as_o those_o that_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o but_o brazen-faced_a wretch_n as_o they_o be_v they_o declare_v their_o sin_n as_o sodom_n and_o discover_v it_o open_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o this_o they_o do_v too_o not_o only_o in_o one_o or_o two_o particular_a act_n but_o general_o say_v the_o text_n in_o all_o their_o do_n now_o there_o be_v some_o hope_n of_o a_o modest_a and_o

if_o he_o but_o see_v he_o blush_v upon_o his_o reprove_v of_o he_o but_o when_o like_a judah_n he_o have_v once_o a_o whore_n forehead_n and_o refuse_v to_o be_v ashamed_a then_o do_v he_o give_v he_o over_o as_o a_o lose_a child_n and_o not_o to_o be_v recover_v so_o that_o from_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o in_o what_o place_n soever_o we_o find_v such_o a_o turn_v such_o a_o eversion_n as_o this_o where_o all_o be_v turn_v upside_o down_o there_o have_v be_v without_o question_n some_o great_a aversio_fw-la a_o creatore_fw-la ad_fw-la creaturam_fw-la some_o great_a sin_v against_o god_n

it_o be_v sin_n then_o that_o ruin_n particular_a person_n that_o subvert_v family_n that_o period_n kingdom_n that_o wheel_n about_o government_n that_o overturns_a state_n that_o disjoynt_n

these_o celestial_a body_n have_v their_o energy_n upon_o all_o sublunary_a thing_n be_v plain_a first_o by_o scripture_n as_o job_n 38.33_o where_o the_o lord_n speak_v thus_o to_o job_n know_v
