A41876	Great Britains call to repentance: or, A seasonable exhortation, to a speedy reformation and turning from these crying sins of our age as swearing and prophaning the name of God, and making a sport and game of his sacred Word, and ordinances, lest his vvrath should wax hot against us, and instead of shaking his rod, like a father, he should bring upon us that desolutiou [sic] which the poor island of Jamaco now groans under. Therefore let us speedily repent, for what can we expect, since we have sinned as well as they? Licensed according to order.		1693 (1693)	Wing G1665A; ESTC R219884	4,709	19

stir_v up_o themselves_o and_o other_o to_o foolish_a wicked_a and_o profane_a laughter_n so_o three_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v abuse_v in_o a_o most_o most_o gross_a and_o notorious_a manner_n when_o one_o bring_v it_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o any_o sin_n error_n or_o heresy_n which_o be_v to_o presume_v to_o wrest_v god_n weapon_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n as_o it_o be_v to_o wound_v he_o with_o his_o own_o sword_n this_o be_v as_o grievous_a a_o abuse_n of_o the_o sacred_a word_n of_o god_n and_o as_o hurtful_a and_o mischievous_a as_o swear_v thus_o the_o devil_n do_v most_o damnable_o profane_v god_n word_n that_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o agree_v with_o his_o devilish_a temptation_n so_o let_v wicked_a and_o volumptuous_a liver_n that_o spend_v all_o their_o time_n and_o

live_v idle_o in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v repent_v and_o amend_v you_o shall_v have_v a_o excuse_n straight_o god_n word_n must_v be_v bring_v as_o a_o defence_n they_o do_v not_o break_v god_n commandment_n without_o warrant_n out_o of_o tte_a scripture_n if_o you_o will_v believe_v they_o what_o say_v they_o will_v you_o have_v a_o man_n live_v without_o delight_n do_v not_o you_o allow_v recreation_n why_o the_o scripture_n do_v afford_v a_o man_n recreation_n and_o then_o a_o number_n of_o place_n must_v be_v bring_v in_o for_o recreation_n to_o maintain_v their_o

that_o stand_v so_o much_o for_o recreation_n what_o be_v your_o occupation_n what_o sore_o i_o ravel_v be_v it_o that_o weari_v your_o body_n what_o earnest_a study_n trouble_v your_o brain_n that_o you_o must_v have_v so_o much_o refresh_v and_o so_o much_o recreation_n it_o must_v be_v some_o very_a painful_a labour_n that_o need_v so_o much_o rest_n to_o make_v you_o able_a to_o perform_v it_o it_o be_v a_o sore_a labour_n indeed_o for_o it_o be_v the_o service_n of_o lust_n and_o the_o devil_n two_o hard_a master_n but_o this_o turn_n of_o recreation_n into_o a_o vocation_n or_o a_o vexation_n rather_o it_o be_v not_o allowable_a by_o god_n word_n how_o dare_v thou_o then_o be_v so_o impudent_o audacious_a as_o to_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o treasure_n to_o maintain_v thy_o filthy_a

that_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n be_v enmity_n to_o god_n and_o that_o covetuousness_n be_v idolatry_n then_o come_v in_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o must_v salve_v all_o what_o
