commonwealth_n or_o kingdom_n 1._o god_n do_v it_o to_o punish_v a_o nation_n or_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n when_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o people_n be_v come_v to_o a_o fatal_a pitch_n and_o the_o

disorder_n but_o it_o be_v just_a with_o he_o to_o withdraw_v his_o restrain_v grace_n and_o not_o to_o hinder_v their_o wicked_a inclination_n and_o when_o the_o prop_n that_o uphold_v the_o house_n be_v charity_n and_o that_o charity_n be_v abuse_v if_o the_o prop_n be_v remove_v and_o the_o house_n fall_v it_o be_v to_o make_v the_o inhabitant_n sensible_a of_o his_o ingratitude_n when_o pride_n and_o idleness_n and_o fullness_n of_o bread_n and_o its_o usual_a concomitant_n wantonness_n and_o luxury_n come_v once_o to_o rage_n and_o reign_v god_n just_o take_v away_o the_o partition_n that_o keep_v the_o fire_n and_o tinder_n asunder_o and_o then_o no_o marvel_n if_o be_v commit_v and_o let_v loose_a to_o fall_v one_o upon_o the_o other_o they_o cause_v a_o combustion_n which_o be_v not_o easy_o quench_v when_o the_o body_n be_v grow_v pletharick_n and_o the_o humour_n abound_v the_o wise_a physician_n breathe_v a_o vein_n and_o though_o the_o ignorant_a spectator_n

so_o he_o permit_v the_o excellent_a josiah_n to_o be_v slay_v because_o though_o himself_o be_v one_o of_o the_o best_a of_o man_n yet_o his_o subject_n be_v hypocritical_a to_o a_o high_a degree_n and_o while_o they_o seem_v to_o comply_v with_o the_o king_n in_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n continue_a idolater_n in_o their_o heart_n so_o god_n suffer_v the_o martyr_n of_o the_o day_n to_o fall_v because_o the_o nation_n that_o live_v under_o his_o shadow_n be_v grow_v extravagant_a in_o their_o manner_n and_o that_o you_o may_v not_o wonder_v how_o god_n come_v to_o punish_v the_o innocent_a and_o let_v the_o guilty_a go_v free_a i_o must_v answer_v that_o the_o innocent_a though_o seem_o afflict_a yet_o lose_v nothing_o by_o the_o adversity_n but_o only_o anticipate_v heaven_n and_o exchange_v their_o temporal_a for_o a_o everlasting_a bliss_n a_o few_o year_n soon_o while_o the_o sinner_n though_o seem_o prosperous_a suffer_v signal_o in_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o great_a

they_o and_o know_v not_o where_o to_o fix_v they_o at_o last_o inconsiderate_o yet_o by_o god_n wise_a permission_n fix_v upon_o the_o bramble_n for_o their_o prince_n whence_o fire_n come_v forth_o and_o either_o disperse_v or_o consume_v the_o giddy_a multitude_n sometime_o god_n punish_v the_o people_n for_o their_o irreligious_a prince_n sake_n as_o he_o send_v a_o famine_n on_o the_o land_n
