god_n have_v enter_v into_o no_o such_o covenant_n as_o he_o do_v with_o they_o to_o make_v this_o clear_a and_o to_o bring_v it_o near_o to_o our_o own_o case_n i_o shall_v proceed_v in_o this_o method_n 1._o to_o show_v that_o god_n do_v exercise_v a_o particular_a providence_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o kingdom_n and_o nation_n 2._o that_o according_a to_o the_o usual_a method_n of_o providence_n their_o condition_n be_v better_a or_o worse_o as_o the_o people_n be_v 3._o that_o there_o be_v some_o circumstance_n of_o sin_v which_o do_v very_o much_o portend_v and_o hasten_v a_o people_n ruin_n 1._o that_o god_n do_v exercise_v a_o particular_a providence_n with_o a_o respect_n to_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o nation_n i._n e._n as_o they_o be_v unite_v into_o several_a and_o distinct_a body_n which_o be_v capable_a as_o such_o of_o be_v happy_a or_o miserable_a for_o since_o mankind_n enter_v into_o society_n be_v both_o necessary_a and_o advantageous_a to_o they_o and_o god_n do_v not_o bare_o permit_v and_o approve_v but_o dispose_n and_o incline_v man_n to_o it_o and_o have_v give_v they_o law_n to_o govern_v themselves_o by_o with_o respect_n to_o society_n it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a to_o suppose_v that_o god_n shall_v call_v man_n to_o a_o account_n in_o that_o capacity_n and_o to_o distribute_v reward_n and_o punishment_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o action_n which_o must_v either_o be_v do_v in_o this_o world_n or_o it_o can_v be_v do_v at_o all_o for_o all_o those_o bond_n be_v dissolve_v by_o death_n and_o man_n shall_v not_o answer_v for_o their_o sin_n by_o kingdom_n and_o nation_n in_o another_o world_n but_o every_o man_n shall_v give_v account_n of_o himself_o unto_o god_n either_o therefore_o those_o society_n as_o such_o shall_v go_v whole_o unpunished_a or_o they_o must_v suffer_v according_a to_o they_o in_o this_o world_n and_o therefore_o here_o the_o case_n be_v very_o different_a from_o that_o of_o particular_a person_n we_o say_v and_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v no_o disparagement_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n providence_n for_o good_a man_n to_o suffer_v or_o for_o wicked_a man_n to_o escape_v punishment_n in_o this_o life_n because_o the_o great_a day_n of_o recompense_n be_v to_o come_v wherein_o there_o will_v be_v a_o revelation_n of_o the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n but_o that_o will_v not_o hold_v as_o to_o nation_n who_o shall_v not_o suffer_v in_o community_n then_o as_o they_o have_v sin_v here_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v more_o reasonable_a to_o suppose_v the_o reward_n and_o punishment_n of_o such_o shall_v be_v in_o this_o life_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n and_o proportion_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o of_o this_o we_o have_v suffient_fw-la evidence_n in_o scripture_n upon_o these_o account_n 1._o because_o it_o

though_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o convince_v the_o world_n they_o have_v no_o other_o end_n in_o take_v away_o his_o life_n but_o to_o prevent_v a_o further_a discovery_n and_o they_o who_o his_o

be_v many_o and_o great_a and_o aggravate_v by_o all_o the_o mercy_n and_o deliverance_n which_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o we_o and_o therefore_o he_o may_v be_v just_o provoke_v to_o punish_v we_o proportionable_o to_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o ingratitude_n and_o disobedience_n let_v we_o lay_v our_o hand_n upon_o our_o heart_n this_o day_n and_o serious_o consider_v what_o requital_n we_o have_v make_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o all_o the_o benefit_n he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o for_o the_o light_n of_o his_o truth_n the_o purity_n of_o his_o worship_n the_o power_n of_o his_o

and_o of_o too_o great_a coldness_n and_o indifferency_n about_o matter_n of_o religion_n i_o do_v not_o fear_v that_o ever_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n shall_v prevail_v among_o we_o by_o strength_n of_o reason_n or_o force_v of_o argument_n with_o all_o its_o specious_a colour_n and_o pretence_n unless_o it_o be_v among_o those_o who_o understand_v neither_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o religion_n
