spread_v forth_o your_o hand_n i_o will_v hide_v my_o eye_n from_o you_o and_o when_o you_o make_v many_o prayer_n i_o will_v not_o hear_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o carriage_n of_o our_o merciful_a god_n be_v most_o plain_o and_o emphatical_o give_v in_o the_o text_n and_o be_v there_o set_v down_o as_o a_o act_n of_o just_a retaliation_n towards_o we_o then_o shall_v they_o cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v they_o he_o will_v even_o hide_v his_o face_n from_o they_o at_o that_o time_n as_o they_o have_v behave_v themselves_o ill_a in_o their_o do_n that_o be_v though_o god_n may_v for_o some_o time_n seem_v to_o be_v slack_a as_o some_o man_n count_v slackness_n though_o for_o a_o while_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o wink_v at_o the_o repeat_v wickedness_n of_o ungrateful_a mankind_n and_o appear_v by_o his_o slowness_n to_o punish_v as_o if_o he_o never_o design_v it_o yet_o this_o at_o last_o will_v be_v find_v a_o sad_a mistake_n and_o a_o time_n will_v come_v in_o which_o he_o will_v sure_o repay_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o obstinate_a wicked_a person_n on_o his_o own_o head_n and_o will_v then_o take_v example_n by_o he_o and_o as_o he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o sin_n shut_v his_o eye_n and_o close_v his_o ear_n to_o god_n and_o will_v have_v none_o of_o his_o counsel_n so_o in_o the_o time_n of_o punishment_n god_n will_v do_v the_o same_o to_o he_o and_o it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o objection_n of_o any_o weight_n to_o tell_v we_o that_o these_o forecited_a place_n do_v not_o immediate_o relate_v to_o we_o christian_n but_o concern_v the_o temporal_a calamity_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o do_v denote_v that_o they_o have_v a_o time_n of_o repentance_n and_o turn_v to_o their_o god_n allow_v they_o which_o if_o lapse_v by_o their_o continuance_n in_o sin_n they_o will_v thereby_o foreclose_v themselves_o and_o make_v the_o sentence_n of_o their_o calamity_n irreversible_a i_o say_v this_o will_v be_v no_o solution_n of_o

there_o must_v be_v even_o to_o christian_n else_o the_o apostle_n comparison_n of_o the_o limit_a time_n will_v not_o hold_v good_a and_o his_o last_o cite_v word_n will_v quite_o lose_v their_o

he_o consider_v yourselves_o as_o brand_n pluck_v out_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o regard_v not_o so_o much_o your_o body_n deliver_v from_o the_o grave_a as_o your_o soul_n preserve_v from_o the_o nethermost_a hell_n look_v steadfast_o back_o on_o the_o danger_n you_o have_v escape_v and_o with_o tear_n of_o gratitude_n in_o your_o eye_n stand_v amaze_v at_o the_o patience_n long-suffering_a

you_o to_o repentance_n you_o have_v as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v be_v foolish_a people_n plague_v for_o your_o offence_n and_o because_o of_o your_o wickedness_n you_o have_v be_v fast_o bind_v in_o

in_o your_o trouble_n and_o he_o have_v deliver_v you_o out_o of_o your_o distress_n he_o have_v bring_v you_o out_o of_o darkness_n and_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o break_v your_o bond_n
