be_v apparent_a thy_o sin_n be_v the_o great_a this_o i_o speak_v the_o rather_o because_o we_o have_v all_o shift_a heart_n deceitful_a above_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v that_o the_o sin_n of_o those_o who_o be_v exemplary_o punish_v be_v great_a than_o we_o be_v and_o that_o they_o have_v some_o extraordinary_a thing_n in_o they_o which_o make_v the_o lord_n extraordinary_o to_o punish_v they_o and_o so_o their_o example_n work_v not_o so_o effectual_o upon_o we_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a you_o see_v our_o sin_n be_v clear_o great_a our_o saviour_n see_v this_o corruption_n and_o deceit_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v to_o the_o jew_n think_v you_o that_o these_o upon_o who_o the_o tower_n of_o shiloh_n fall_v be_v great_a sinner_n than_o the_o rest_n no_o say_v he_o they_o be_v not_o but_o unless_o you_o repent_v you_o shall_v all_o likewise_o perish_v so_o say_v i_o to_o you_o think_v not_o but_o thou_o be_v as_o great_a yea_o a_o great_a sinner_n and_o therefore_o unless_o thou_o repent_v thou_o shall_v perish_v unless_o thou_o humble_a and_o amend_v thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v the_o death_n be_v not_o the_o natural_a olive_n spare_v and_o shall_v thou_o be_v one_o act_n of_o sin_n so_o severe_o punish_v and_o shall_v thou_o who_o have_v reiterated_a many_o act_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n pass_v unpunished_a shall_v they_o who_o sin_v against_o the_o law_n be_v punish_v &_o thou_o who_o neglecte_v so_o great_a a_o salvation_n escape_v o_o but_o say_v thou_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v then_o that_o the_o lord_n deal_v otherways_o with_o sinner_n now_o a_o day_n then_o of_o old_a for_o man_n do_v as_o it_o be_v get_v leave_n to_o sin_n and_o pass_v unpunished_a the_o apostle_n give_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o in_o the_o word_n i_o cite_v before_o say_v these_o thing_n befall_v they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v example_n to_o we_o upon_o who_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v come_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o lord_n deal_v more_o peremtory_o with_o they_o and_o more_o exemplary_o be_v not_o that_o their_o sin_n be_v great_a and_o we_o less_a but_o because_o they_o live_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n the_o lord_n will_v make_v they_o example_n for_o succeed_a age_n he_o will_v let_v we_o see_v in_o the_o person_n of_o few_o how_o he_o be_v offend_v with_o all_o guilty_a of_o the_o like_a sin_n whereas_o with_o we_o live_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n when_o example_n shall_v be_v of_o less_o use_n and_o when_o the_o time_n of_o general_a punishment_n be_v at_o hand_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n that_o sinner_n shall_v be_v precise_o and_o exemplary_o punish_v but_o yet_o thou_o shall_v be_v as_o sure_o and_o as_o severe_o punish_v yea_o and_o more_o iii_o a_o three_o mean_v to_o help_v to_o humble_v we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n anger_n against_o sin_n and_o how_o odious_a sin_n be_v in_o his_o sight_n and_o presence_n we_o shall_v first_o lay_v this_o ground_n that_o our_o sin_n provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o anger_n and_o wrath_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v consider_v how_o fearful_a a_o thing_n the_o anger_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v clear_a i_o a._n 1._o they_o have_v provoke_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n to_o anger_n the_o apostle_n say_v that_o for_o these_o thing_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o the_o child_n of_o man_n yea_o every_o sin_n do_v provoke_v he_o and_o that_o most_o high_o to_o wrath_n although_o not_o all_o alike_o yet_o certain_o i_o say_v every_o one_o most_o high_a or_o else_o the_o punishment_n of_o every_o sin_n will_v not_o be_v eternal_a and_o intolerable_a torment_n but_o so_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o every_o sin_n even_o the_o least_o provoke_v the_o lord_n high_o to_o wrath_n now_o this_o ground_n be_v lay_v for_o our_o humiliation_n we_o shall_v consider_v what_o a_o fearful_a thing_n this_o wrath_n and_o anger_n of_o god_n be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o humble_a see_v we_o ourselves_o be_v liable_a unto_o it_o the_o scripture_n set_v it_o down_o most_o fearful_o use_v strange_a and_o fearful_a term_n not_o only_o of_o anger_n and_o wrath_n but_o of_o indignation_n of_o fury_n and_o put_v both_o in_o one_o the_o fury_n of_o his_o indignation_n the_o fierceness_n of_o his_o wrath_n the_o wise_a man_n say_v that_o the_o wrath_n of_o a_o king_n be_v like_o the_o roar_n of_o a_o lion_n what_o then_o must_v be_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o king_n of_o king_n for_o even_o these_o king_n be_v advise_v in_o psal_n 2._o to_o kiss_v the_o s●n_n lest_o he_o be_v angry_a and_o they_o perish_v in_o the_o way_n when_o his_o anger_n be_v kindle_v but_o a_o little_a how_o fearful_a then_o must_v his_o anger_n be_v when_o it_o be_v kindle_v to_o the_o full_a the_o prophet_n neh._n 1._o say_v who_o can_v stand_v before_o his_o indignation_n and_o

covenant_n of_o reconciliation_n even_o he_o shall_v intercede_v for_o he_o that_o he_o be_v not_o cast_v out_o of_o it_o again_o jesus_n christ_n our_o saviour_n be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o such_o a_o sort_n not_o only_o to_o enter_v we_o once_o in_o the_o covenan_n with_o his_o father_n but_o which_o be_v most_o comfortable_a when_o we_o fail_v he_o be_v ready_a to_o intercede_v for_o we_o he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n make_v request_n for_o we_o and_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o this_o covenant_n be_v so_o sure_a and_o so_o everlasting_a a_o covenant_n this_o point_n be_v also_o notable_o and_o clear_o set_v down_o and_o make_v good_a by_o that_o style_n that_o daniel_n nehemiah_n ezra_n give_v unto_o god_n o_o lord_n who_o keep_v covenant_n and_o mercy_n a_o sweet_a say_n and_o style_n for_o both_o on_o his_o own_o part_n he_o keep_v covenant_n and_o then_o for_o we_o when_o we_o break_v and_o sin_n he_o have_v mercy_n for_o we_o so_o in_o the_o scripture_n we_o have_v it_o more_o than_o once_o that_o sweet_a combination_n of_o mercy_n and_o truth_n psal_n 57_o he_o will_v send_v out_o his_o mercy_n and_o his_o truth_n psal_n 25._o all_o his_o way_n be_v mercy_n and_o truth_n etc._n etc._n his_o truth_n be_v to_o perform_v his_o promise_n his_o mercy_n be_v to_o cover_v our_o sin_n and_o to_o pardon_v they_o that_o they_o be_v no_o impediment_n for_o he_o to_o perform_v his_o mercy_n towards_o we_o have_v he_o only_a truth_n our_o comfort_n will_v be_v but_o small_a for_o we_o make_v the_o first_o breach_n and_o fail_v in_o the_o condition_n so_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v without_o any_o breach_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o justice_n break_v his_o promise_n with_o we_o but_o when_o he_o join_v mercy_n with_o truth_n and_o be_v a_o god_n that_o keep_v covenant_n and_o mercy_n in_o this_o stand_v our_o comfort_n and_o happiness_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o make_v it_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n as_o also_o in_o that_o notable_a psal_n 89._o my_o faithfulness_n and_o my_o mercy_n shall_v be_v with_o he_o and_o again_o notable_o v._o 28._o my_o mercy_n will_v i_o keep_v for_o he_o

profess_v which_o be_v indeed_o most_o wonderful_a and_o sweet_a that_o although_o sin_n and_o the_o devil_n shall_v have_v so_o far_o prevail_v against_o we_o as_o to_o make_v we_o forsake_v god_n law_n that_o though_o he_o may_v well_o visit_v our_o transgression_n with_o the_o rod_n and_o our_o iniquity_n with_o stripe_n so_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o repentance_n yet_o his_o love_a kindness_n he_o will_v not_o utter_o take_v from_o we_o nor_o suffer_v his_o faithfulness_n to_o fail_v so_o that_o he_o will_v not_o break_v his_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n for_o all_o this_o o_o the_o wonderful_a goodness_n of_o god_n in_o his_o son_n christ_n who_o although_o we_o change_v every_o moment_n yet_o he_o change_v not_o who_o he_o love_v he_o love_v to_o the_o end_n his_o gift_n and_o
