god_n for_o their_o enemy_n and_o he_o will_v set_v himself_o in_o opposition_n to_o they_o for_o he_o tell_v this_o church_n that_o if_o they_o will_v not_o repent_v he_o will_v fight_v against_o they_o which_o denote_v that_o he_o will_v become_v their_o adversary_n and_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o rebel_n nay_o as_o irreconcilable_a enemy_n who_o will_v never_o submit_v to_o his_o divine_a government_n which_o be_v concern_v therefore_o to_o destroy_v they_o so_o that_o these_o impenitent_a wretch_n who_o go_v on_o resolve_o in_o their_o sin_n notwithstanding_o all_o that_o he_o can_v do_v to_o reclaim_v they_o gain_v but_o little_a by_o the_o patience_n and_o lenity_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o and_o it_o be_v but_o a_o small_a comfort_n that_o he_o do_v not_o present_o strike_v they_o see_v it_o be_v certain_a as_o the_o psalmist_n express_v it_o that_o he_o be_v bend_v his_o bow_n whet_v his_o sword_n and_o prepare_v for_o they_o the_o instrument_n of_o death_n of_o this_o i_o need_v not_o say_v much_o nor_o will_v the_o time_n permit_v it_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o know_v that_o sometime_o the_o defer_v of_o execution_n be_v a_o piece_n of_o hostility_n and_o make_v the_o blow_n heavy_a when_o it_o come_v they_o be_v but_o treasure_v and_o heap_v up_o to_o themselves_o wrath_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v two_o rom._n 4_o 5._o who_o will_v not_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n no_o nor_o his_o judgement_n to_o repentance_n but_o proceed_v to_o add_v sin_n to_o sin_n till_o a_o most_o terrible_a vengeance_n break_v out_o upon_o they_o which_o may_v be_v defer_v perhaps_o from_o time_n to_o time_n but_o with_o no_o other_o design_n than_o a_o great_a prince_n have_v who_o be_v so_o powerful_a that_o he_o can_v have_v the_o better_a of_o his_o enemy_n when_o he_o will_v and_o therefore_o forbear_v to_o fall_v upon_o they_o not_o because_o he_o mean_v to_o spare_v they_o but_o only_o because_o he_o wait_v for_o a_o opportunity_n when_o he_o may_v do_v the_o more_o terrible_a execution_n and_o take_v the_o severe_a revenge_n on_o those_o who_o he_o intend_v to_o ruin_v what_o do_v sinful_a man_n mean_v then_o to_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o jealousy_n be_v they_o strong_a than_o he_o will_v you_o not_o fear_v he_o because_o he_o do_v not_o instant_o smite_v shall_v your_o heart_n be_v set_v in_o you_o to_o do_v evil_a because_o judgement_n be_v not_o always_o speedy_o execute_v against_o a_o evil_a work_n will_v you_o dare_v to_o offend_v he_o as_o if_o he_o can_v not_o or_o presume_v

delay_v to_o strike_v not_o because_o he_o can_v but_o because_o he_o can_v when_o he_o please_v not_o because_o he_o will_v not_o but_o because_o he_o will_v do_v it_o at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o it_o will_v most_o serve_v the_o wisdom_n of_o his_o providence_n we_o be_v ignorant_a of_o all_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n do_v not_o do_v with_o all_o as_o he_o do_v with_o some_o we_o know_v not_o for_o what_o cause_v they_o be_v that_o he_o do_v not_o come_v so_o quick_o to_o reckon_v with_o one_o wicked_a man_n as_o with_o another_z it_o be_v enough_o to_o affright_v we_o out_o of_o our_o
