devour_v by_o the_o sword_n object_n this_o make_v for_o the_o prevent_n of_o a_o three_o objection_n for_o some_o may_v say_v it_o be_v good_a indeed_o in_o these_o regard_n if_o we_o can_v repent_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o wash_v ourselves_o from_o our_o filthiness_n but_o if_o we_o do_v not_o we_o hope_v we_o shall_v do_v well_o enough_o while_o we_o live_v and_o be_v save_v when_o we_o die_v for_o god_n be_v not_o so_o severe_a as_o man_n will_v make_v he_o but_o he_o be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a and_o therefore_o we_o mean_v to_o take_v our_o course_n and_o still_o to_o proceed_v in_o the_o same_o and_o yet_o i_o trust_v to_o speed_v as_o well_o as_o the_o best_a of_o they_o nay_o answer_n say_v the_o prophet_n do_v not_o so_o for_o if_o you_o refuse_v to_o obey_v and_o be_v rebellious_a you_o shall_v be_v devour_v with_o the_o sword_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v god_n indeed_o be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v and_o to_o cleanse_v all_o sort_n of_o sinner_n that_o see_v how_o and_o wherein_o they_o have_v offend_v and_o be_v trouble_v for_o their_o offence_n resolve_v to_o leave_v and_o forsake_v they_o and_o to_o practice_v the_o contrary_a duty_n but_o they_o that_o

again_o and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n tell_v they_o if_o you_o refuse_v to_o obey_v you_o shall_v be_v devour_v with_o the_o sword_n it_o be_v sure_a some_o fearful_a and_o strange_a plague_n or_o other_o shall_v fall_v upon_o you_o and_o utter_o consume_v you_o as_o god_n have_v mercy_n in_o abundance_n for_o penitent_a sinner_n so_o have_v he_o judgement_n in_o as_o great_a plenty_n for_o

11_o let_v man_n never_o discourse_v nor_o object_n on_o the_o one_o side_n or_o on_o the_o other_o for_o god_n have_v say_v it_o and_o he_o will_v do_v it_o he_o be_v true_a and_o can_v lie_v he_o
