a_o other_o that_o rule_n be_v certain_a and_o a_o evident_a truth_n &_o needs_o no_o prove_v now_o we_o have_v be_v visit_v with_o famine_n earthquake_n pestilence_n inundation_n thunder_n and_o lightning_n in_o winter_n and_o most_o strange_a and_o unseasonable_a weather_n but_o alas_o all_o these_o have_v take_v no_o effect_n where_o be_v the_o humiliation_n repentance_n and_o reformation_n which_o they_o have_v wrought_v therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v there_o remain_v behind_o a_o great_a judgement_n man_n may_v be_v so_o mad_a to_o think_v these_o to_o be_v ordinary_a thing_n and_o to_o come_v by_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o ordinary_a cause_n but_o certain_o they_o be_v the_o shake_n of_o the_o rod_n and_o forerunner_n of_o a_o great_a judgement_n unless_o repentance_n cut_v off_o their_o course_n for_o look_v as_o one_o cloud_n follow_v another_o till_o the_o sun_n consume_v they_o so_o one_o judgement_n hasten_v after_o a_o other_o and_o repentance_n only_o be_v the_o sun_n which_o must_v dispel_v they_o 3._o three_o it_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n according_a as_o he_o have_v reveal_v it_o in_o the_o scripture_n especial_o in_o deut._n 28._o out_o of_o the_o whole_a chapter_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v gather_v as_o a_o rule_n i_o will_v curse_v that_o people_n that_o break_v my_o law_n now_o we_o may_v not_o deny_v but_o this_o land_n of_o we_o be_v for_o abundance_n of_o sin_n a_o people_n of_o sodom_n all_o kind_n of_o sin_n in_o all_o estate_n of_o man_n rage_n &_o reign_v every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o unless_o we_o repent_v and_o so_o dissolve_v this_o cloud_n of_o judgement_n that_o hang_v over_o our_o head_n it_o can_v be_v but_o a_o most_o fearful_a tempest_n be_v to_o come_v at_o the_o

that_o overturn_v kingdom_n and_o change_v state_n as_o all_o these_o kingdom_n and_o state_n have_v feel_v who_o have_v continue_v final_o to_o contemn_v the_o gospel_n it_o follow_v and_o you_o be_v

of_o corn_n but_o the_o heap_n of_o corn_n be_v full_a of_o chaff_n that_o be_v these_o particular_a church_n be_v full_a of_o hypocrite_n now_o a_o wise_a husbandman_n let_v corn_n and_o chaff_n

and_o lay_v up_o his_o corn_n so_o god_n the_o great_a and_o wise_a husbandman_n will_v not_o let_v the_o chaff_n lie_v for_o ever_o among_o the_o wheat_n he_o have_v therefore_o appoint_v his_o

be_v preach_v to_o a_o nation_n or_o congregation_n it_o fan_n they_o and_o try_v they_o and_o purge_v they_o and_o so_o serve_v they_o that_o a_o man_n may_v see_v a_o manifest_a difference_n of_o the_o chaff_n and_o the_o wheat_n that_o be_v of_o the_o goodly_a man_n and_o the_o wicked_a man_n this_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n do_v john_n the_o baptist_n express_o call_v a_o fan_n where_o

that_o it_o sever_v the_o chaff_n from_o the_o wheat_n that_o be_v good_a professor_n from_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o blow_n so_o strong_o upon_o the_o wicked_a that_o it_o

of_o his_o wrath_n this_o fan_n go_v over_o the_o old_a world_n and_o sweep_v they_o all_o away_o and_o go_v over_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o we_o see_v they_o be_v no_o more_o 1._o these_o three_o fan_n of_o god_n make_v a_o threefold_a separation_n of_o the_o chaff_n from_o the_o wheat_n that_o be_v of_o the_o wicked_a from_o the_o elect_a with_o the_o fan_n of_o his_o word_n which_o be_v powerful_a he_o sever_v they_o in_o all_o affection_n and_o disposition_n and_o make_v a_o distinction_n of_o they_o so_o as_o general_o the_o wheat_n be_v know_v to_o be_v wheat_n and_o chaff_n discern_v to_o be_v chaff_n by_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o word_n but_o though_o the_o tear_v be_v know_v to_o be_v tear_v yet_o both_o grow_v together_o so_o that_o the_o word_n only_o serve_v they_o in_o affection_n and_o set_v several_a note_n of_o distinction_n upon_o they_o both_o 2._o but_o then_o the_o second_o fan_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v more_o violent_a for_o thereby_o he_o sever_v they_o asunder_o in_o soul_n gather_v the_o godly_a man_n as_o his_o wheat_n into_o the_o heaven_n and_o blow_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o wicked_a into_o hell_n but_o yet_o the_o body_n of_o they_o both_o lie_v together_o as_o partaker_n of_o the_o same_o judgement_n so_o subject_a to_o the_o same_o corruption_n and_o be_v all_o lodge_v in_o the_o

be_v the_o second_o death_n the_o death_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n which_o be_v the_o eternal_a want_n of_o god_n presence_n and_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o a_o apprehension_n and_o feel_n of_o that_o wrath_n seize_v on_o body_n soul_n and_o conscience_n the_o first_o curse_n be_v a_o spiritual_a death_n the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o second_o a_o temporal_a death_n the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n the_o three_o be_v a_o eternal_a death_n a_o death_n both_o of_o soul_n and_o body_n together_o and_o for_o ever_o this_o eternal_a death_n be_v the_o curse_n of_o all_o curse_n the_o misery_n of_o all_o misery_n and_o torment_v of_o all_o torment_n and_o i_o show_v it_o thus_o often_o when_o thy_o tooth_n ach_v and_o sometime_o when_o thy_o headacheth_n or_o in_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o stone_n or_o colic_n thou_o will_v give_v all_o that_o thou_o have_v in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v ease_v of_o that_o pain_n nay_o in_o the_o extremity_n of_o some_o fit_n many_o will_v wish_v themselves_o even_o out_o of_o the_o world_n now_o if_o the_o pain_n of_o one_o tooth_n can_v so_o far_o distemper_v mind_n and_o body_n that_o it_o can_v be_v relieve_v with_o all_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n oh_o then_o what_o a_o torment_n shall_v that_o be_v when_o not_o one_o kind_a of_o pain_n but_o the_o whole_a viol_n of_o god_n wrath_n shall_v be_v pour_v not_o on_o one_o member_n but_o on_o the_o whole_a soul_n body_n and_o conscience_n and_o that_o not_o for_o a_o time_n under_o hope_n of_o better_a but_o eternal_o without_o hope_n of_o release_n and_o that_o not_o in_o this_o world_n where_o there_o be_v comfort_n help_n and_o remedy_n but_o in_o that_o ugly_a and_o darksome_a place_n of_o torrment_n and_o that_o not_o among_o live_a man_n which_o may_v mitigate_v thy_o pain_n or_o else_o bemoan_v thou_o and_o bewail_v it_o with_o thou_o but_o with_o the_o devil_n &_o damn_a spirit_n which_o will_v now_o laugh_v at_o thy_o destruction_n and_o solace_v themselves_o in_o this_o thy_o misery_n and_o will_v rejoice_v as_o thou_o do_v serve_v they_o in_o earth_n so_o now_o in_o hell_n to_o be_v thy_o torment_n it_o may_v be_v therefore_o by_o the_o way_n a_o good_a warning_n and_o wisdom_n to_o we_o all_o when_o we_o feel_v the_o extremity_n of_o some_o bodily_a pain_n to_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o and_o say_v oh_o then_o what_o shall_v be_v my_o misery_n and_o torment_n if_o i_o repent_v not_o when_o not_o one_o member_n but_o soul_n body_n and_o conscience_n shall_v be_v rack_v and_o torment_v in_o the_o feel_n and_o apprehension_n of_o the_o anger_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o hostes._n in_o these_o three_o point_n stand_v that_o curse_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n under_o which_o every_o man_n be_v bear_v and_o these_o do_v answer_v to_o the_o three_o degree_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v in_o we_o for_o as_o the_o two_o first_o rule_n teach_v we_o there_o be_v in_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n till_o he_o repent_v a_o threefold_a guiltiness_n first_o a_o guiltiness_n of_o adam_n sin_n second_o the_o taint_n of_o original_n &_o universal_a corruption_n three_o a_o pollution_n by_o many_o outrageous_a actual_a sin_n in_o the_o first_o of_o these_o every_o man_n be_v equal_o guilty_a in_o the_o second_o every_o man_n be_v equal_o corrupt_a but_o in_o the_o three_o every_o one_o keep_v that_o compass_n within_o which_o the_o lord_n will_v keep_v they_o by_o his_o limit_v power_n now_o as_o in_o our_o guiltiness_n of_o adam_n sin_n sin_n have_v his_o beginning_n in_o original_a sin_n his_o continuance_n in_o actual_a sin_n his_o perfect_a on_o so_o answerable_a hereunto_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o always_o stand_v opposite_a to_o sin_n be_v begin_v in_o leave_v we_o by_o nature_n to_o the_o slavery_n of_o satan_n be_v continue_v by_o death_n and_o be_v accomplish_v in_o damnation_n and_o now_o these_o three_o rule_n i_o commend_v to_o the_o careful_a and_o christian_a consideration_n of_o you_o all_o certify_v you_o from_o god_n that_o as_o you_o can_v never_o be_v save_v unless_o you_o repent_v nor_o repent_v unless_o you_o search_v yourselves_o as_o here_o the_o prophet_n bid_v so_o that_o you_o can_v never_o search_v yourselves_o aright_o till_o you_o be_v persuade_v and_o resolve_v of_o these_o three_o rule_n &_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o all_o even_o in_o your_o heart_n and_o conscience_n namely_o first_o that_o thou_o be_v guilty_a of_o adam_n sin_n second_o that_o thou_o be_v prone_a by_o nature_n to_o all_o evil_a in_o the_o world_n three_o that_o for_o these_o thou_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o to_o all_o the_o curse_n of_o his_o wrath_n but_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o heart_n &_o conscience_n resolve_v that_o these_o be_v true_a then_o thou_o be_v a_o fit_a scholar_n for_o this_o lesson_n of_o the_o prophet_n search_v thyself_o for_o when_o thou_o go_v thus_o prepare_v unto_o this_o search_n and_o esteem_v of_o thyself_o as_o the_o three_o rule_n have_v describe_v thou_o then_o if_o thou_o search_v into_o thyself_o thou_o will_v find_v thyself_o and_o thy_o estate_n to_o be_v such_o as_o will_v cause_v thou_o to_o repent_v return_n and_o take_v a_o new_a course_n therefore_o what_o the_o prophet_n say_v to_o those_o jew_n i_o say_v unto_o you_o also_o my_o brethren_n of_o this_o realm_n of_o england_n who_o be_v now_o here_o gather_v together_o out_o of_o so_o many_o country_n and_o quarter_n of_o this_o realm_n yea_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o same_o god_n i_o cry_v unto_o you_o search_v o_o search_v yourselves_o and_o think_v it_o not_o a_o matter_n indifferent_a to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v it_o but_o know_v it_o that_o god_n command_v you_o as_o ever_o you_o will_v come_v to_o salvation_n search_v yourselves_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o by_o these_o three_o rule_n you_o see_v how_o much_o chaff_n of_o corruption_n be_v in_o your_o nature_n and_o what_o need_n therefore_o it_o have_v to_o be_v search_v into_o and_o fan_v by_o repentance_n be_v well_o assure_v thou_o man_n whatsoever_o thou_o be_v there_o be_v so_o much_o chaff_n in_o thou_o that_o if_o thou_o search_v not_o and_o fan_v it_o not_o out_o thou_o will_v prove_v nothing_o but_o chaff_n at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o so_o be_v blow_v away_o with_o the_o wind_n of_o god_n justice_n into_o hell_n take_v hold_v therefore_o of_o this_o exhortation_n and_o defer_v it_o not_o thou_o will_v not_o suffer_v thy_o wheat_n to_o lie_v too_o long_o in_o the_o chaff_n for_o fear_n of_o hurt_v it_o be_v it_o then_o safe_a to_o suffer_v the_o chaff_n of_o thy_o sin_n and_o corruption_n to_o lie_v canker_a and_o rot_v in_o thy_o heart_n be_v sure_a that_o that_o little_a portion_n of_o grace_n which_o thou_o attaine_v unto_o by_o live_v in_o the_o church_n and_o under_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n will_v be_v putryfy_v and_o clean_o corrupt_v with_o the_o chaff_n of_o thy_o sin_n therefore_o again_o and_o again_o i_o exhort_v you_o to_o make_v conscience_n of_o this_o duty_n search_v into_o yourselves_o fan_v out_o this_o chaff_n this_o presumption_n of_o we_o and_o high_a esteem_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n and_o conceit_n of_o god_n favour_n before_o we_o have_v it_o that_o so_o this_o chaff_n be_v blow_v away_o the_o lord_n may_v then_o bestow_v upon_o

have_v need_n to_o be_v sure_a and_o strong_a ignorance_n blindness_n and_o presumption_n be_v not_o sufficient_a foundation_n for_o such_o a_o building_n therefore_o as_o no_o man_n will_v build_v a_o strong_a house_n upon_o any_o earth_n but_o he_o will_v first_o search_v it_o lest_o it_o prove_v sandy_a and_o so_o overthrow_v all_o so_o a_o wise_a christian_a will_v not_o build_v his_o

too_o weak_a for_o the_o foundation_n of_o so_o glorious_a a_o building_n will_v refuse_v they_o all_o and_o labour_n to_o furnish_v his_o heart_n with_o such_o sound_n grace_n as_o whereupon_o he_o
