by_o raise_v the_o dead_a or_o else_o speak_v those_o as_o st._n peter_n do_v who_o this_o moment_n be_v in_o a_o complete_a state_n of_o health_n into_o death_n immediate_o god_n forbid_v they_o shall_v be_v invest_v with_o such_o a_o power_n for_o i_o believe_v we_o shall_v have_v but_o very_o few_o bishop_n leave_v alive_a among_o we_o then_o can_v they_o alter_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o change_v the_o essential_a property_n of_o any_o thing_n and_o do_v great_a cure_n even_o by_o opposite_a and_o contrary_a mean_n as_o our_o saviour_n do_v no_o alas_o when_o we_o make_v a_o just_a enquiry_n into_o their_o ability_n we_o find_v the_o man_n maugre_o all_o their_o boasting_n be_v but_o like_a unto_o we_o and_o all_o this_o confidence_n in_o particularise_v the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o god_n judgement_n be_v found_v in_o pride_n and_o self-conceit_n in_o a_o overween_a value_n they_o have_v for_o themselves_o and_o a_o implacable_a hatred_n they_o have_v entertain_v against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o though_o the_o principle_n of_o separation_n have_v be_v the_o instrument_n of_o as_o dreadful_a effect_n to_o this_o nation_n and_o wrought_v as_o great_a confusion_n as_o history_n almost_o can_v parallel_v yet_o so_o vain_a be_v many_o of_o these_o man_n that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o storm_n or_o a_o tempest_n that_o there_o can_v happen_v the_o least_o ruffle_v or_o disorder_n upon_o nature_n but_o present_o it_o be_v to_o give_v intimation_n of_o the_o wrong_n and_o oppression_n they_o be_v under_o and_o to_o warn_v both_o the_o king_n and_o bishop_n to_o treat_v they_o more_o gentle_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o easy_a people_n be_v embolden_v to_o very_o vile_a thought_n of_o the_o government_n and_o to_o any_o mischievous_a undertake_n that_o tend_v to_o its_o ruin_n for_o who_o will_v not_o willing_o be_v ride_v of_o a_o constitution_n or_o of_o a_o number_n of_o such_o man_n as_o be_v so_o great_a eye-fores_a to_o god_n himself_o that_o the_o very_a sight_n of_o they_o be_v continual_o provoke_v he_o to_o work_v great_a desolation_n in_o the_o earth_n 2._o i_o ask_v these_o man_n whether_o we_o as_o obedient_a churchman_n have_v not_o as_o much_o right_a to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o argument_n against_o they_o as_o they_o against_o we_o true_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o disprove_v it_o nay_o consider_v that_o earthly_a government_n be_v a_o dim_a and_o obscure_a representation_n of_o that_o excellent_a order_n and_o harmony_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o magistrate_n be_v god_n vicegerent_n and_o his_o immediate_a steward_n on_o earth_n i_o think_v that_o those_o who_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o they_o upon_o a_o satisfaction_n th●_n thing_n they_o command_v be_v not_o unlawful_a may_v pretend_v to_o as_o great_a nay_o great_a kindness_n from_o god_n than_o these_o man_n can_v do_v and_o consequent_o be_v better_o enable_v by_o he_o to_o expound_v judgement_n than_o they_o be_v and_o now_o upon_o this_o account_n suppose_v shall_v tell_v they_o that_o the_o plague_n and_o the_o fire_n be_v for_o the_o murder_a one_o king_n and_o banish_v the_o other_o be_v for_o lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o the_o ancient_n and_o primitive_a order_n of_o episcopacy_n and_o turn_v the_o age_a and_o reverend_a prelate_n out_o of_o their_o estate_n as_o well_o as_o liberty_n suppose_v further_o we_o shall_v tell_v they_o that_o the_o continuance_n of_o god_n anger_n be_v for_o their_o adherence_n still_o to_o those_o principle_n notwithstanding_o we_o have_v in_o these_o late_a year_n see_v issue_n from_o they_o such_o horrid_a distraction_n and_o animosity_n such_o unnatural_a quarrel_n betwixt_o neighbour_n and_o neighbour_n nay_o betwixt_o some_o parent_n and_o child_n i_o say_v suppose_v we_o shall_v tell_v they_o this_o and_o much_o more_o why_o will_v they_o not_o pronounce_v we_o monstrous_o uncharitable_a and_o presume_v upon_o a_o great_a information_n from_o heaven_n than_o we_o have_v any_o warrant_v to_o do_v from_o scripture_n but_o why_o the_o pride_n and_o uncharitableness_n shall_v lie_v altogether_o on_o our_o side_n i_o profess_v i_o can_v tell_v unless_o they_o can_v demonstrate_v their_o right_n as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o comment_v upon_o all_o the_o visible_a expression_n of_o god_n anger_n by_o work_v some_o unquestionable_a miracle_n before_o our_o eye_n 3._o i_o ask_v these_o great_a pretend_a acquaintance_n of_o heaven_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sign_n of_o great_a hypocrisy_n and_o unsoundness_n of_o mind_n to_o prevent_v and_o hinder_v the_o influence_n of_o any_o argument_n or_o consideration_n whereby_o god_n design_n to_o lay_v man_n pride_n in_o the_o dust_n and_o to_o work_v they_o into_o that_o state_n of_o humiliation_n and_o self-abasement_n which_o become_v all_o man_n in_o this_o frail_a and_o imperfect_a state_n for_o certain_o it_o be_v the_o proper_a character_n of_o a_o good_a and_o a_o honest_a christian_a who_o take_v up_o his_o religion_n upon_o gospel-motive_n that_o he_o be_v one_o that_o will_v make_v use_n of_o all_o way_n and_o method_n to_o work_v his_o mind_n up_o to_o such_o a_o temper_n as_o god_n require_v from_o he_o and_o therefore_o this_o good_a man_n if_o at_o any_o time_n god_n suffer_v great_a ruin_n to_o overtake_v the_o world_n why_o he_o know_v he_o can_v better_v and_o more_o suitable_o comport_v himself_o than_o by_o be_v humble_v under_o his_o anger_n than_o by_o reflect_v upon_o himself_o with_o that_o severity_n of_o mind_n that_o become_v any_o man_n who_o have_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o such_o provocation_n but_o now_o for_o a_o man_n or_o a_o body_n of_o man_n to_o impute_v these_o judgement_n to_o other_o and_o to_o shift_v they_o from_o themselves_o it_o be_v to_o abate_v the_o force_n of_o that_o argument_n that_o may_v be_v fetch_v from_o god_n present_v heavy_a dispensation_n and_o as_o person_n unconcern_v to_o leave_v all_o those_o way_n of_o humiliation_n prescribe_v in_o scripture_n to_o be_v undertake_v and_o do_v by_o other_o for_o as_o for_o themselves_o they_o can_v wash_v their_o hand_n they_o be_v pure_a and_o clean_a than_o which_o there_o can_v be_v a_o great_a instance_n of_o pride_n and_o vanity_n of_o a_o unsound_a and_o a_o very_a corrupt_a mind_n and_o therefore_o if_o by_o these_o question_n i_o can_v but_o bring_v these_o great_a opiniator_n to_o a_o persuasion_n that_o god_n judgement_n be_v send_v forth_o to_o punish_v and_o terrify_v man_n of_o all_o opinion_n and_o judgement_n whatsoever_o from_o a_o sinful_a course_n of_o life_n and_o that_o when_o he_o appear_v with_o his_o sword_n in_o his_o hand_n every_o man_n ought_v to_o smite_v upon_o his_o breast_n and_o say_v what_o have_v i_o do_v i_o think_v i_o shall_v do_v both_o religion_n and_o themselves_o a_o very_a great_a right_n 2._o this_o church_n suffer_v very_o much_o by_o the_o jealousy_n of_o many_o of_o the_o gentry_n especial_o those_o who_o have_v swallow_v down_o the_o principle_n of_o mr._n hobbs_n lest_o the_o clergy_n shall_v overtop_v they_o or_o at_o least_o encroach_v too_o much_o upon_o their_o power_n and_o influence_n in_o those_o country_n where_o they_o live_v many_o of_o they_o i_o say_v for_o god_n forbid_v i_o shall_v impeach_v all_o or_o most_o of_o they_o for_o certain_o there_o be_v no_o spot_n of_o ground_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n where_o there_o be_v better_o breed_v gentleman_n than_o in_o this_o famous_a island_n who_o understand_v respect_n and_o kindness_n to_o all_o sort_n of_o person_n in_o proportion_n to_o those_o several_a place_n and_o condition_n they_o be_v fix_v in_o and_o who_o have_v a_o particular_a esteem_n for_o the_o clergy_n both_o upon_o the_o score_n of_o the_o dignity_n of_o their_o function_n and_o their_o just_a opinion_n of_o those_o degree_n the_o university_n for_o a_o compensation_n of_o those_o improvement_n they_o have_v make_v in_o several_a art_n and_o science_n have_v deserve_o confer_v upon_o they_o and_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v this_o further_a that_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o very_a few_o branch_n of_o the_o ancient_a gentry_n upon_o who_o civility_n and_o modesty_n have_v be_v entail_v from_o many_o precede_a
