be_v idol_n with_o all_o their_o train_n and_o retinue_n of_o worshipper_n shall_v suffer_v the_o law_n of_o their_o vanity_n and_o be_v destroy_v but_o he_o that_o put_v his_o trust_n in_o i_o shall_v possess_v the_o land_n that_o be_v shall_v return_v out_o of_o captivity_n and_o be_v settle_v in_o his_o own_o land_n in_o peace_n which_o golden_a vein_n of_o promise_n enrich_v we_o abundant_o with_o the_o precious_a assurance_n of_o this_o that_o god_n be_v in_o for_o the_o protection_n and_o deliverance_n of_o those_o that_o depend_v upon_o he_o in_o time_n of_o danger_n as_o much_o as_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n come_v to_o and_o we_o need_v not_o fear_v that_o ever_o he_o will_v loose_v or_o forfeit_v such_o a_o pledge_n etc._n etc._n 2_o and_o this_o happy_o be_v worthy_a some_o observation_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n usual_o take_v occasion_n upon_o such_o promise_v as_o these_o make_v for_o the_o relief_n and_o deliverance_n of_o those_o that_o trust_v in_o god_n in_o time_n of_o danger_n and_o trouble_n to_o commend_v and_o magnify_v the_o most_o infallible_a truth_n and_o certainty_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o this_o reason_n especial_o as_o i_o conceive_v because_o the_o truth_n and_o certainty_n of_o it_o suffer_v most_o from_o the_o unbelieved_a heart_n of_o man_n in_o such_o promise_n as_o these_o and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o interpose_v a_o special_a testimony_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v on_o purpose_n to_o prevent_v and_o disappoint_v the_o spirit_n of_o unbelief_n in_o i_o that_o that_o may_v not_o rise_v up_o so_o much_o as_o to_o mutter_v or_o whisper_v against_o it_o in_o this_o behalf_n thus_o psalm_n 12._o 5_o &_o 6._o the_o lord_n have_v promise_v that_o for_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o sigh_v of_o the_o needy_a he_o will_v arise_v and_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n vers_fw-la 6._o the_o prophet_n subjoin_v this_o elogium_fw-la or_o testimony_n of_o the_o word_n or_o promise_v of_o god_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v pure_a word_n as_o silver_n try_v in_o a_o furnace_n of_o earth_n purify_v seven_o time_n that_o be_v thorough_o purify_v till_o all_o the_o dross_n be_v consume_v and_o purge_v clean_o from_o it_o so_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o pure_a and_o solid_a mettle_n remain_v mean_v that_o there_o be_v no_o lightness_n or_o looseness_n at_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n make_v to_o those_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o but_o every_o jot_n and_o title_n will_v bear_v the_o weight_n if_o it_o be_v of_o the_o whole_a world_n lay_v upon_o it_o so_o prov._n 30._o 5._o every_o word_n of_o god_n be_v pure_a that_o be_v every_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v solid_a massy_a and_o entire_a truth_n he_o be_v a_o shield_n to_o those_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o etc._n etc._n 3_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o proportion_n and_o fitness_n between_o this_o duty_n this_o addresment_n of_o the_o creature_n to_o god_n in_o away_o of_o reliance_n and_o dependence_n upon_o he_o and_z his_o addressing_z himself_o to_o the_o creature_n in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n and_o deliverance_n there_o be_v a_o sutablenes_n &_o answerablenes_n between_o the_o one_o &_o the_o other_o as_o it_o a_o thing_n meet_v &_o comely_a in_o the_o creature_n to_o stay_v itself_o upon_o god_n and_o to_o wait_v his_o leisure_n for_o its_o deliverance_n so_o be_v a_o compliance_n in_o god_n with_o his_o creature_n in_o this_o posture_n as_o it_o be_v of_o dependence_n comely_a and_o glorious_a in_o he_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n have_v no_o apparel_n to_o put_v on_o in_o all_o that_o infinite_a charge_n and_o variety_n he_o have_v more_o glorious_a or_o wherein_o he_o can_v commend_v himself_o and_o his_o greatness_n upon_o high_a term_n to_o his_o creature_n than_o this_o his_o save_v those_o that_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o he_o hence_o it_o be_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n to_o strengthen_v their_o hand_n in_o prayer_n usual_o plead_v their_o faith_n and_o dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o deliverance_n as_o if_o this_o be_v a_o ground_n and_o foundation_n to_o build_v a_o assure_a hope_n upon_o that_o god_n now_o will_v not_o reject_v they_o psalm_n 33._o 21_o 22._o sure_o our_o heart_n shall_v rejoice_v in_o he_o say_v david_n because_o we_o have_v trust_v in_o his_o holy_a name_n let_v thy_o mercy_n o_o lord_n be_v upon_o we_o as_o we_o trust_v in_o thou_o as_o if_o he_o have_v a_o pawn_n sufficient_a of_o his_o faith_n that_o god_n will_v send_v he_o help_v wherein_o he_o shall_v rejoice_v so_o psalm_n 25._o 2._o o_o my_o god_n i_o trust_v in_o thou_o let_v i_o not_o be_v ashamed_a etc._n etc._n so_o again_o psalm_n 86._o 2._o o_o god_n save_o thy_o servant_n that_o trust_v in_o thou_o 4_o hence_o likewise_o it_o be_v that_o when_o man_n have_v be_v idolater_n and_o lift_v up_o their_o hand_n to_o strange_a god_n and_o yet_o will_v expect_v that_o the_o true_a god_n shall_v save_v and_o deliver_v they_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o trouble_n he_o send_v they_o for_o help_n and_o deliverance_n to_o their_o false_a god_n who_o they_o have_v choose_v and_o rely_v upon_o imply_v that_o it_o be_v meet_v and_o fit_v for_o those_o that_o be_v trust_v and_o rely_v on_o to_o deliver_v and_o protect_v those_o that_o rely_v on_o they_o see_v instance_n hereof_o in_o scripture_n and_o read_v judge_n 10._o 14._o jer._n 2._o 28._o esa_fw-la 57_o 13._o etc._n etc._n hence_o it_o be_v also_o that_o god_n purpose_v to_o save_v and_o deliver_v his_o elect_a from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v and_o to_o bestow_v everlasting_a life_n &_o happiness_n upon_o they_o will_v not_o yet_o actual_o confer_v his_o salvation_n and_o glory_n upon_o they_o till_o they_o first_o shall_v believe_v and_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o it_o and_o therefore_o he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v his_o son_n christ_n to_o pay_v their_o ransom_n and_o make_v atonement_n for_o their_o sin_n but_o also_o cause_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v write_v wherein_o the_o history_n of_o the_o life_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n together_o with_o the_o whole_a frame_n or_o body_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o his_o will_n touch_v the_o salvation_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v declare_v and_o this_o gospel_n to_o be_v carry_v up_o and_o down_o the_o world_n from_o place_n to_o place_n from_o nation_n to_o nation_n to_o be_v preach_v unto_o man_n that_o so_o man_n may_v first_o believe_v in_o he_o through_o christ_n or_o by_o mean_n of_o christ_n as_o peter_n speak_v 1_o pet._n 1._o 21._o before_o they_o enter_v into_o their_o glory_n by_o all_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o god_n think_v his_o mercy_n and_o favour_n and_o deliverance_n especial_o do_v best_a and_o be_v give_v by_o he_o upon_o most_o equal_a and_o righteous_a term_n when_o they_o be_v graft_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o faith_n and_o give_v into_o the_o bosom_n of_o those_o that_o expect_v and_o wait_v for_o they_o before_o they_o come_v 5_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o god_n by_o a_o special_a work_n of_o his_o spirit_n shall_v uphold_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n to_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o help_v or_o to_o expect_v deliverance_n from_o danger_n from_o he_o and_o then_o shall_v not_o deliver_v they_o he_o shall_v disrespect_n and_o discountenance_v the_o workmanship_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n yea_o that_o piece_n of_o work_n wherein_o he_o take_v special_a delight_n the_o scripture_n every_o where_o derive_v the_o original_n and_o dissent_n of_o faith_n from_o god_n see_v heb._n 12._o 2._o act._n 18._o 27._o now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n will_v have_v respect_n to_o his_o own_o work_n and_o will_v glorify_v and_o magnify_v they_o that_o they_o may_v glorify_v and_o magnify_v he_o again_o if_o he_o incline_v and_o move_v and_o persuade_v the_o creature_n true_o and_o unfeigned_o to_o rest_v and_o stay_v itself_o upon_o he_o for_o help_v in_o time_n of_o need_n as_o he_o do_v if_o the_o thing_n ever_o be_v do_v no_o man_n take_v hold_v upon_o god_n but_o god_n himself_o guide_v and_o strengthen_v his_o hand_n to_o do_v it_o certain_o he_o will_v not_o neglect_v much_o less_o shame_n and_o confound_v this_o great_a work_n of_o his_o own_o which_o he_o shall_v do_v if_o he_o shall_v suffer_v the_o creature_n to_o miscarry_v or_o perish_v under_o it_o lord_n say_v david_n psal_n 10._o 17._o thou_o have_v hear_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o poor_a or_o humble_a thou_o will_v prepare_v or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o margin_n establish_v their_o heart_n thou_o will_v cause_v their_o ear_n to_o hear_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o god_n prepare_v or_o
notwithstanding_o as_o it_o follow_v he_o be_v glad_a when_o he_o be_v weak_a and_o they_o strong_a that_o be_v when_o their_o life_n and_o way_n be_v such_o that_o he_o can_v exercise_v no_o more_o power_n over_o or_o against_o they_o then_o as_o if_o he_o have_v none_o at_o all_o give_v he_o such_o be_v the_o power_n that_o scripture_n threaten_n have_v against_o wicked_a man_n they_o have_v no_o power_n neither_o against_o the_o truth_n but_o for_o the_o truth_n whilst_o man_n go_v on_o in_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o despise_v that_o great_a salvation_n which_o be_v tender_v unto_o they_o in_o jesus_n christ_n these_o threaten_n have_v power_n to_o judge_v censure_n and_o to_o burn_v with_o unquenchable_a fire_n to_o set_v man_n with_o fear_n and_o terror_n as_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o hell_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v glad_a also_o when_o they_o be_v weak_a and_o man_n be_v strong_a that_o be_v when_o man_n turn_v unto_o god_n by_o a_o true_a faith_n and_o sound_a repentance_n in_o which_o case_n their_o power_n cease_v neither_o do_v they_o judge_v or_o condemn_v they_o any_o long_o so_o that_o now_o such_o threaten_n be_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o of_o discouragement_n to_o wicked_a man_n from_o believe_v or_o depend_v on_o god_n no_o more_o than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spiritual_a sword_n we_o speak_v of_o that_o be_v give_v to_o paul_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o cut_v off_o from_o christ_n be_v a_o ground_n of_o discouragement_n to_o those_o christian_n that_o walk_v inordinate_o from_o return_v to_o way_n of_o holiness_n before_o the_o stroke_n of_o it_o come_v nay_o as_o this_o power_n in_o the_o apostle_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o discouragement_n to_o such_o man_n from_o walk_v answerable_o to_o the_o gospel_n that_o it_o be_v a_o special_a encouragement_n thereunto_o in_o as_o much_o as_o by_o reason_n thereof_o they_o have_v this_o recompense_n and_o reward_v add_v unto_o their_o obedience_n and_o repentance_n that_o they_o escape_v the_o edge_n of_o that_o sword_n which_o wound_v the_o soul_n of_o other_o so_o the_o threaten_n we_o speak_v of_o that_o be_v make_v out_o against_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v in_o this_o respect_n rather_o matter_n of_o encouragement_n than_o discouragement_n unto_o they_o for_o believe_v on_o god_n because_o they_o do_v increase_v the_o reward_n of_o their_o believe_a by_o this_o considerable_a addition_n they_o shall_v be_v deliver_v thereby_o out_o of_o the_o danger_n of_o those_o threaten_n which_o will_v do_v terrible_a execution_n upon_o other_o that_o shall_v persist_v in_o their_o unbelief_n 21._o nay_o to_o go_v yet_o one_o step_n further_a the_o threaten_n we_o have_v now_o under_o consideration_n be_v not_o only_a matter_n of_o encouragement_n to_o wicked_a man_n to_o move_v they_o to_o believe_v and_o depend_v on_o god_n but_o that_o which_o be_v much_o more_o they_o impose_v the_o great_a the_o deep_a the_o most_o absolute_a and_o peremptory_a necessity_n upon_o they_o that_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o for_o believe_v they_o certify_v the_o soul_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n that_o there_o be_v as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v no_o way_n with_o they_o but_o one_o nothing_o but_o the_o vengeance_n of_o eternal_a fire_n to_o be_v look_v for_o except_o they_o believe_v we_o have_v a_o say_n ingens_fw-la telum_fw-la necessitas_fw-la necessity_n be_v a_o great_a weapon_n and_o will_v put_v man_n upon_o and_o strengthen_v man_n to_o achieve_v and_o perform_v many_o great_a enterprise_n &_o action_n which_o without_o such_o a_o advantage_n they_o neither_o will_v have_v adventure_v upon_o nor_o have_v they_o be_v able_a to_o have_v effect_v and_o bring_v to_o pass_v and_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o that_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n and_o the_o dreadful_a and_o utmost_a necessity_n they_o lie_v upon_o man_n to_o provide_v for_o the_o thing_n of_o their_o peace_n have_v contribute_v and_o conduce_v much_o to_o the_o faith_n and_o consequent_o to_o the_o salvation_n of_o many_o who_o rest_n be_v now_o glorious_a in_o the_o heaven_n therefore_o doubtless_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n against_o wicked_a person_n right_o apprehend_v and_o consider_v be_v no_o way_n hindrance_n or_o discouragment_n unto_o such_o man_n from_o or_o about_o believe_v or_o depend_v on_o god_n 22._o but_o in_o the_o sixth_o and_o last_o place_n to_o finish_v all_o with_o the_o addition_n of_o a_o few_o word_n more_o to_o that_o branch_n of_o the_o objection_n wherein_o the_o hope_n trust_v and_o dependence_n of_o wicked_a man_n on_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v reject_v by_o god_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v argue_v and_o conclude_v that_o such_o have_v no_o right_a to_o believe_v or_o depend_v on_o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o they_o to_o do_v it_o to_o this_o i_o say_v i_o answer_v that_o though_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o trust_n and_o dependence_n on_o god_n which_o man_n may_v have_v and_o yet_o miscarry_v and_o be_v reject_v as_o be_v grant_v before_o yet_o be_v there_o a_o trust_n and_o dependence_n on_o god_n also_o which_o will_v secure_v the_o great_a sinner_n under_o heaven_n from_o death_n and_o condemnation_n if_o it_o be_v find_v with_o he_o as_o though_o simon_n magus_n believe_v and_o yet_o be_v in_o the_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n and_o band_n of_o iniquity_n notwithstanding_o and_o so_o though_o judas_n repent_v and_o go_v to_o hell_n yet_o thomas_n believe_v and_o simon_n peter_n repent_v beside_o thousand_o more_o with_o they_o be_v both_o save_v for_o we_o may_v distinguish_v of_o faith_n or_o dependence_n on_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o end_n or_o issue_n whereunto_o they_o tend_v much_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o john_n distinguish_v of_o sin_n 1_o joh._n 5._o 16_o 17._o there_o be_v a_o sin_n say_v he_o unto_o death_n and_o there_o be_v a_o sin_n not_o unto_o

which_o be_v not_o unto_o life_n and_o if_o the_o faith_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v of_o this_o kind_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o their_o faith_n and_o they_o perish_v together_o and_o be_v both_o
