we_o chief_o be_v under_o god_n to_o thank_v his_o majesty_n and_o this_o most_o honourable_a assembly_n that_o have_v keep_v the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o that_o power_n which_o it_o receive_v from_o their_o predecessor_n and_o not_o suffer_v it_o to_o fall_v into_o any_o other_o hand_n neither_o our_o religion_n nor_o our_o church_n be_v of_o a_o persecute_v spirit_n i_o know_v not_o how_o it_o may_v be_v in_o particular_a person_n but_o i_o say_v again_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o genius_n of_o our_o church_n she_o have_v no_o doctrine_n that_o teach_v persecution_n she_o have_v not_o practise_v it_o as_o other_o when_o they_o be_v in_o authority_n i_o thank_v god_n for_o it_o and_o i_o hope_v she_o will_v always_o continue_v in_o that_o temper_n which_o be_v add_v to_o the_o other_o mark_v of_o a_o true_a christian_a church_n may_v assure_v we_o that_o she_o be_v a_o church_n according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o christ._n but_o can_v all_o other_o say_v the_o same_o that_o call_v themselves_o church_n of_o christ_n or_o be_v they_o so_o when_o they_o have_v power_n in_o their_o hand_n they_o that_o never_o be_v in_o power_n can_v never_o answer_v this_o question_n therefore_o none_o can_v answer_v it_o so_o well_o as_o the_o papist_n and_o they_o tell_v we_o now_o they_o be_v as_o much_o against_o persecution_n as_o any_o but_o what_o will_v they_o be_v if_o they_o be_v in_o power_n god_n forbid_v we_o shall_v ever_o live_v to_o see_v the_o trial_n of_o it_o they_o have_v be_v try_v too_o much_o already_o to_o be_v believe_v in_o this_o matter_n we_o have_v see_v we_o have_v feel_v sufficient_a proof_n of_o their_o spirit_n more_o proof_n of_o that_o sort_n to_o prove_v they_o a_o false_a church_n than_o they_o can_v show_v upon_o bellarmin_n fifteen_o note_n of_o a_o true_a one_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v now_o of_o particular_a person_n i_o believe_v there_o be_v many_o good_a people_n of_o that_o communion_n i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o common_a reason_n and_o that_o common_a christianity_n can_v be_v whole_o extinguish_v by_o the_o principle_n of_o their_o religion_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o in_o some_o i_o hope_v in_o many_o it_o prevail_v above_o their_o religion_n otherwise_o i_o know_v there_o can_v not_o be_v good_a people_n of_o that_o communion_n for_o take_v their_o religion_n in_o itself_o abstract_v from_o the_o common_a christianity_n and_o so_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o in_o it_o but_o superstition_n and_o cruelty_n it_o be_v lutum_fw-la sanguine_fw-la maceratum_fw-la dirt_n temper_v with_o blood_n according_a to_o nero_n character_n it_o be_v a_o religion_n so_o far_o from_o make_v man_n like_o god_n that_o it_o make_v they_o worse_o than_o man_n will_v be_v without_o any_o religion_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a compassion_n in_o man_n that_o move_v he_o at_o the_o sight_n of_o other_o suffering_n and_o especial_o at_o the_o sight_n of_o great_a cruelty_n it_o turn_v one_o very_a bowel_n within_o he_o and_o it_o be_v no_o common_a provocation_n that_o can_v harden_v one_o against_o this_o but_o take_v this_o man_n and_o thorough_o steep_v he_o in_o popery_n he_o come_v forth_o without_o any_o compassion_n at_o all_o he_o can_v not_o only_o see_v any_o cruelty_n but_o act_n it_o he_o can_v act_v it_o unprovoke_v on_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o without_o remorse_n yea_o with_o pleasure_n and_o triumph_n as_o a_o act_n of_o religion_n and_o a_o good_a service_n to_o god_n and_o to_o show_v that_o this_o religion_n be_v not_o the_o common_a christianity_n he_o can_v do_v this_o upon_o they_o who_o have_v that_o as_o well_o as_o himself_o otherwise_o if_o it_o be_v only_o on_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n then_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o christianity_n move_v he_o to_o it_o but_o he_o consider_v christian_n without_o popery_n no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v turk_n or_o infidel_n which_o show_v that_o he_o be_v not_o move_v by_o common_a christianity_n but_o by_o that_o part_n of_o his_o religion_n which_o be_v proper_o popery_n it_o be_v a_o religion_n i_o be_o sorry_a we_o have_v no_o other_o name_n to_o call_v it_o by_o that_o vie_v cruelty_n with_o ancient_a judaisme_n and_o heathenism_n if_o those_o destroy_v thousand_o of_o christian_n in_o primitive_a time_n popery_n have_v destroy_v its_o ten_o thousand_o of_o as_o innocent_a person_n and_o destroy_v they_o with_o as_o great_a barbarity_n and_o cruelty_n i_o do_v not_o think_v there_o be_v ever_o such_o havoc_n make_v upon_o the_o earth_n of_o humane_a creature_n as_o be_v make_v of_o million_o of_o heathen_n in_o america_n there_o be_v never_o great_a cruelty_n invent_v than_o be_v there_o use_v and_o that_o not_o in_o anger_n but_o in_o sport_n upon_o poor_a helpless_a innocent_a creature_n it_o will_v make_v one_o flesh_n tremble_v to_o read_v they_o describe_v by_o their_o own_o writer_n and_o yet_o they_o that_o do_v these_o thing_n be_v very_o good_a catholic_n as_o they_o think_v themselves_o and_o they_o act_v like_o roman_a catholic_n in_o it_o for_o they_o have_v the_o pope_n commission_n to_o go_v thither_o and_o to_o conquer_v that_o infidel_n people_n but_o though_o this_o be_v do_v by_o papist_n yet_o not_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n no_o i_o know_v not_o what_o shall_v make_v they_o so_o savage_a otherwise_o but_o then_o what_o think_v you_o of_o the_o war_n in_o the_o holy-land_n what_o think_v you_o of_o those_o slaughter_v of_o the_o moor_n in_o spain_n and_o those_o butchery_n of_o jew_n in_o all_o country_n before_o the_o reformation_n those_o be_v cruel_a and_o universal_a without_o distinction_n of_o age_n or_o sex_n and_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o those_o be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n but_o that_o may_v be_v the_o common_a christianity_n and_o not_o popery_n only_o that_o they_o think_v of_o and_o therefore_o i_o proceed_v to_o those_o slaughter_v that_o they_o make_v of_o christian_n by_o their_o own_o acknowledgement_n as_o good_a christian_n as_o themselves_o in_o all_o other_o point_n except_o popery_n for_o such_o be_v all_o those_o who_o they_o be_v please_v to_o call_v heretic_n in_o the_o three_o canon_n of_o the_o four_o lateran_n council_n that_o council_n in_o the_o year_n 1215._o first_o make_v transubstantiation_n a_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o make_v they_o heretic_n that_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o and_o have_v first_o provide_v against_o their_o go_v to_o heaven_n as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v by_o declare_v all_o damn_a that_o be_v not_o of_o the_o roman_a faith_n in_o all_o point_n and_o that_o of_o transubstantiation_n in_o particular_a then_o order_v the_o destroy_n of_o they_o from_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o leave_v they_o no_o place_n to_o go_v to_o but_o hell_n so_o great_a be_v their_o charity_n in_o the_o three_o canon_n of_o that_o council_n it_o be_v ordain_v that_o all_o king_n and_o prince_n

and_o give_v it_o to_o such_o catholic_n as_o will_n do_v it_o effectual_o this_o be_v still_o as_o good_a law_n as_o any_o be_v now_o in_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o it_o be_v execute_v strict_o in_o all_o place_n before_o the_o reformation_n there_o be_v at_o first_o some_o prince_n that_o lose_v their_o country_n by_o it_o and_o the_o pope_n do_v take_v the_o forfeiture_n for_o a_o warn_n to_o other_o prince_n but_o who_o can_v number_v the_o poor_a christian_n that_o lose_v their_o life_n by_o it_o above_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o albigenses_n in_o france_n many_o thousand_o of_o

enough_o if_o be_v take_v upon_o suspicion_n they_o can_v not_o purge_v themselves_o of_o it_o the_o way_n of_o purge_v weet_v different_a in_o divers_a place_n in_o some_o country_n it_o be_v by_o

if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o lord_n who_o be_v on_o our_o side_n when_o man_n rise_v up_o against_o we_o then_o they_o have_v swallow_v we_o up_o quick_a when_o their_o wrath_n be_v kindle_v against_o we_o there_o be_v five_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o these_o word_n which_o when_o they_o be_v explain_v will_v all_o be_v find_v applicable_a to_o our_o case_n here_o be_v first_o the_o wrath_n and_o malice_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n people_n and_o that_o against_o israel_n as_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n it_o be_v express_v in_o the_o last_o word_n of_o my_o text_n they_o be_v wrathful_o displease_v at_o we_o god_n enemy_n be_v so_o at_o all_o time_n never_o otherwise_o but_o at_o some_o time_n they_o show_v it_o more_o than_o at_o other_o and_o that_o be_v when_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o put_v their_o malice_n in_o execution_n which_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n in_o my_o text._n second_o their_o conspiracy_n their_o attempt_n to_o execute_v their_o malice_n express_v in_o these_o word_n when_o they_o rise_v up_o against_o we_o three_o the_o extreme_a danger_n of_o god_n people_n at_o the_o time_n of_o such_o a_o attempt_n which_o be_v so_o great_a in_o the_o israelite_n case_n that_o they_o acknowledge_v if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o god_n they_o have_v be_v swallow_v up_o quick_a the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d here_o use_v be_v either_o whole_a or_o raw_a or_o alive_a and_o it_o be_v interpret_v all_o these_o way_n by_o the_o jewish_a writer_n they_o have_v eat_v we_o whole_a without_o chew_v say_v solomon-melech_a they_o have_v devour_v we_o raw_a say_v david-kinchi_a they_o have_v swallow_v we_o up_o alive_a say_v aben-ezra_n as_o the_o earth_n swallow_v up_o corah_n dathan_n and_o abiram_n that_o go_v down_o alive_a into_o the_o pit_n this_o phrase_n as_o it_o signify_v the_o greatness_n and_o nearness_n of_o that_o danger_n that_o come_v sometime_o on_o god_n church_n so_o it_o signify_v also_o the_o eager_a passionate_a hope_n of_o their_o enemy_n they_o have_v swallow_v we_o up_o quick_a say_v israel_n in_o my_o text_n they_o be_v in_o great_a haste_n to_o have_v we_o in_o their_o belly_n that_o they_o can_v not_o forbear_v we_o till_o we_o be_v dead_a as_o one_o of_o they_o render_v it_o that_o they_o fall_v upon_o we_o raw_a they_o can_v not_o stay_v the_o dress_n of_o we_o say_v another_o that_o they_o be_v for_o swallow_v we_o up_o whole_a they_o have_v not_o patience_n for_o chew_v say_v a_o three_o sure_o great_a be_v their_o haste_n when_o their_o wrath_n be_v thus_o kindle_v against_o we_o and_o great_a be_v our_o danger_n if_o god_n have_v not_o be_v on_o our_o side_n that_o be_v the_o four_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o these_o word_n four_o it_o be_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n that_o watch_v over_o his_o people_n that_o take_v part_n with_o they_o against_o their_o implacable_a enemy_n that_o deliver_v they_o from_o danger_n even_o when_o thing_n be_v come_v to_o extremity_n last_o here_o be_v a_o due_a return_n to_o god_n of_o thankfulness_n from_o his_o people_n which_o as_o they_o have_v cause_n for_o at_o all_o time_n so_o especial_o upon_o such_o a_o deliverance_n on_o every_o thought_n or_o mention_n of_o it_o now_o may_v israel_n say_v with_o mouth_n and_o heart_n private_o and_o in_o the_o congregation_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o be_v on_o our_o side_n what_o will_v have_v become_v of_o we_o and_o now_o what_o shall_v we_o render_v to_o he_o for_o be_v thus_o on_o our_o side_n say_v be_v put_v for_o do_v in_o scripture-language_n all_o god_n word_n be_v action_n and_o he_o expect_v something_o like_o this_o from_o we_o he_o expect_v that_o our_o action_n shall_v answer_v our_o word_n that_o what_o we_o say_v in_o our_o thanksgiving_n we_o shall_v do_v like_o it_o in_o all_o the_o course_n of_o our_o life_n and_o that_o we_o glorify_v god_n not_o only_o by_o offer_v praise_n but_o by_o order_v our_o conversation_n aright_o here_o be_v five_o thing_n observe_v first_o the_o malice_n of_o wicked_a man_n they_o be_v always_o wrathful_o displease_v at_o we_o second_o their_o endeavour_n to_o execute_v it_o when_o they_o rise_v up_o against_o we_o three_o the_o danger_n of_o god_n people_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o quick_a four_o god_n providence_n over_o they_o in_o appear_v on_o their_o side_n and_o last_o their_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n in_o their_o grateful_a acknowledgement_n of_o it_o of_o all_o these_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n chief_o to_o be_v consider_v which_o i_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o for_o my_o subject_n at_o this_o time_n the_o first_o be_v the_o malicious_a design_n of_o god_n enemy_n for_o the_o destruction_n of_o his_o people_n the_o second_o be_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n watch_v over_o his_o people_n to_o deliver_v they_o from_o he_o and_o their_o enemy_n both_o these_o i_o shall_v consider_v first_o in_o other_o instance_n and_o then_o in_o the_o gunpowder-treason_n it_o be_v that_o which_o perhaps_o of_o all_o other_o be_v the_o great_a that_o ever_o be_v it_o be_v that_o which_o particular_o concern_v we_o this_o day_n i_o shall_v show_v therefore_o first_o how_o great_a a_o danger_n it_o be_v how_o near_o the_o point_n of_o execution_n how_o then_o god_n appear_v for_o our_o deliverance_n how_o wonderful_a a_o deliverance_n it_o be_v and_o then_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o show_v our_o sense_n of_o it_o in_o our_o zeal_n for_o that_o religion_n which_o god_n be_v so_o concern_v for_o and_o in_o adorn_v it_o by_o a_o life_n that_o may_v be_v exemplary_a to_o all_o other_o christian_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o observe_v be_v the_o malice_n and_o spitefulness_n of_o wicked_a man_n the_o enemy_n of_o god_n their_o proneness_n to_o hurt_v and_o to_o destroy_v his_o church_n and_o all_o true_a member_n of_o it_o this_o as_o soon_o as_o i_o name_v it_o be_v confess_v on_o all_o hand_n for_o all_o party_n take_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o the_o worst_a sect_n among_o christian_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v they_o that_o take_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o only_a true_a church_n grant_v but_o this_o that_o they_o be_v the_o only_a true_a church_n and_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v with_o we_o for_o my_o doctrine_n they_o will_v acknowledge_v it_o and_o tell_v we_o we_o be_v instance_n of_o it_o that_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n hate_v his_o church_n and_o endeavour_v to_o destroy_v it_o but_o because_o this_o will_v signify_v nothing_o till_o it_o appear_v who_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n or_o at_o lest_o who_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v determine_v that_o by_o bring_v it_o to_o this_o issue_n that_o they_o who_o be_v most_o give_v to_o hate_v and_o to_o destroy_v other_o especial_o those_o other_o who_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o religion_n they_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o god_n or_o at_o least_o they_o be_v so_o far_o corrupt_v in_o that_o particular_a i_o may_v say_v this_o of_o man_n without_o any_o relation_n to_o the_o church_n the_o worse_a they_o be_v in_o other_o respect_n the_o more_o prone_a they_o be_v general_o to_o hate_v those_o that_o be_v better_o than_o themselves_o and_o to_o show_v it_o by_o do_v they_o all_o the_o mischief_n they_o be_v able_a whereas_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n good_a man_n be_v of_o gracious_a disposition_n they_o may_v be_v displease_v but_o not_o wrathful_o as_o it_o be_v in_o my_o text_n they_o be_v not_o prone_a to_o do_v mischief_n but_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v good_a even_o to_o enemy_n and_o the_o better_a they_o be_v the_o more_o they_o excel_v in_o these_o disposition_n a_o good_a man_n be_v the_o only_a true_a image_n of_o god_n who_o be_v good_a and_o do_v good_a to_o all_o his_o creature_n even_o to_o sinner_n who_o be_v so_o far_o from_o willing_a the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n that_o he_o do_v not_o willing_o grieve_v the_o child_n of_o man_n whereas_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o hate_v and_o to_o hurt_v and_o to_o destroy_v all_o that_o come_v in_o his_o way_n he_o be_v therefore_o call_v abaddon_n and_o apollyon_n in_o the_o revelation_n he_o be_v true_o so_o he_o be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o will_v be_v so_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o by_o these_o character_n of_o god_n and_o the_o devil_n by_o their_o proneness_n to_o do_v good_a on_o the_o one_o hand_n by_o their_o proneness_n to_o do_v mischief_n on_o the_o other_o by_o these_o we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v man_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 1_o john_n 3._o 10._o by_o this_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_v and_o the_o child_n of_o
