seasonable_a lesson_n for_o all_o man_n to_o learn_v in_o this_o project_v plot_v and_o design_v age_n and_o part_n of_o the_o world_n wherein_o we_o live_v now_o that_o man_n seem_v grow_v up_o to_o that_o prodigious_a insolence_n and_o pride_n as_o to_o quarrel_v with_o even_a god_n himself_o about_o his_o government_n to_o find_v fault_n in_o his_o work_n every_o one_o will_v fain_o seem_v wise_a enough_o to_o be_v the_o modeller_n of_o a_o better_a form_n of_o government_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n than_o the_o wisdom_n of_o former_a age_n have_v be_v acquaint_v with_o and_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v man_n but_o a_o world_n of_o their_o own_o make_n and_o the_o reputation_n of_o some_o new_a invention_n though_o it_o be_v a_o babel_n of_o confusion_n indeed_o man_n that_o will_v seem_v wise_a above_o their_o neighbour_n go_v always_o big_a with_o some_o new_a nothing_o and_o be_v very_o ambitious_o bend_v upon_o undo_v what_o have_v be_v do_v their_o chief_a faculty_n lie_v in_o destroy_v and_o demolish_n all_o the_o monument_n of_o ancient_a wisdom_n that_o nothing_o may_v remain_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o posterity_n but_o mere_a rubbish_n and_o who_o then_o will_v not_o be_v proud_a of_o any_o thing_n when_o they_o know_v of_o nothing_o better_a it_o have_v be_v for_o many_o year_n too_o visible_a that_o our_o new_a deviser_n seem_v agree_v in_o nothing_o more_o than_o in_o contrive_v mischief_n and_o ruin_n and_o like_a samson_n fox_n though_o their_o face_n look_v to_o contrary_a quarter_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o they_o join_v together_o by_o the_o tail_n and_o therein_o carry_v firebrand_n to_o burn_v down_o the_o stand_a corn_n and_o vineyard_n of_o god_n and_o such_o will_v be_v the_o mischievous_a device_n of_o man_n heart_n whilst_o it_o be_v not_o whole_o subject_v to_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a doctrine_n of_o the_o text_n we_o must_v inquire_v a_o little_a into_o the_o extent_n of_o this_o word_n man_n as_o it_o be_v here_o use_v and_o we_o need_v not_o restrain_v it_o to_o any_o particular_a sort_n sect_n or_o party_n of_o man_n it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v allow_v to_o signify_v the_o whole_a race_n of_o mankind_n tho_o more_o especial_o the_o wicked_a or_o unregenerate_a part_n who_o be_v not_o yet_o either_o so_o thorough_o illuminate_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o to_o see_v or_o so_o thorough_o sanctify_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n as_o to_o choose_v the_o lord_n for_o their_o god_n that_o be_v who_o account_v he_o not_o the_o only_a good_a which_o they_o ought_v to_o propound_v unto_o themselves_o in_o all_o their_o design_n and_o who_o make_v not_o his_o will_n the_o only_a rule_n of_o all_o their_o desire_n and_o practice_n the_o only_a foundation_n of_o all_o their_o hope_n and_o comfort_n it_o be_v too_o true_a indeed_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n live_v but_o have_v too_o many_o device_n of_o his_o own_o

before_o he_o can_v be_v altogether_o heavenly_a but_o now_o the_o unregenerate_a man_n abide_v in_o the_o same_o posture_n whereunto_o by_o his_o fall_n from_o god_n he_o be_v bring_v and_o in_o a_o

of_o man_n heart_n till_o they_o concentre_v in_o the_o will_n and_o counsel_n of_o god_n be_v very_o vain_a and_o can_v stand_v 3._o the_o will_n and_o counsel_n of_o god_n be_v always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o and_o never_o change_v 4._o whatever_o the_o device_n and_o project_n of_o man_n may_v be_v they_o can_v never_o alter_v or_o frustrate_v the_o will_n and_o counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n let_v we_o but_o have_v our_o faith_n well_o confirm_v in_o these_o four_o thing_n and_o we_o shall_v soon_o see_v and_o feel_v the_o excellent_a usefulness_n of_o they_o not_o only_o for_o the_o quiet_v of_o our_o soul_n in_o a_o content_a and_o joyful_a acquiescence_n in_o god_n wise_a government_n of_o the_o world_n but_o also_o for_o the_o establish_n of_o a_o bless_a and_o last_a peace_n in_o church_n and_o state_n in_o a_o due_a subjection_n unto_o and_o well_o pleasedness_n with_o the_o present_a government_n under_o which_o by_o the_o good_a providence_n of_o god_n it_o be_v our_o lot_n to_o live_v i._o the_o heart_n of_o man_n unfixed_a on_o god_n the_o only_a complete_a and_o satisfactory_a good_a be_v a_o very_a unconstant_a thing_n altogether_o unsettled_a in_o its_o own_o thought_n full_a of_o various_a device_n and_o changeable_a counsel_n man_n be_v a_o think_v creature_n and_o his_o thought_n be_v always_o busy_a within_o he_o whether_o he_o will_v or_o no._n and_o till_o he_o can_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o be_v take_v with_o the_o beauty_n of_o that_o one_o most_o perfect_a and_o delightsome_a object_n the_o innumerable_a excellency_n whereof_o may_v
