even_o then_o when_o he_o punish_v sore_a whereby_o he_o seem_v to_o frown_v upon_o they_o they_o can_v run_v to_o he_o in_o prayer_n and_o make_v their_o moan_n to_o he_o as_o example_n of_o david_n who_o cry_v out_o o_o lord_n rebuke_v i_o not_o in_o thy_o anger_n 6.1_o psalm_n 6.1_o neither_o chasten_v i_o in_o thy_o displeasure_n though_o the_o lord_n seem_v to_o be_v angry_a by_o afflict_v of_o they_o yet_o they_o run_v to_o he_o as_o to_o a_o father_n it_o grieve_v they_o to_o see_v their_o father_n displease_v be_v like_o to_o a_o love_a son_n who_o grieve_v to_o see_v his_o father_n angry_a yea_o every_o wrinkle_n in_o his_o father_n brow_n make_v he_o to_o fear_v yet_o so_o as_o that_o that_o be_v ground_v on_o love_n and_o therefore_o run_v upon_o his_o knee_n to_o he_o for_o pardon_n so_o be_v it_o with_o god_n child_n though_o their_o father_n chastise_v they_o with_o heavy_a and_o bitter_a affliction_n yet_o they_o run_v to_o their_o father_n with_o this_o persuasion_n that_o though_o they_o have_v fail_v in_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o son_n yet_o he_o can_v fail_v in_o the_o affection_n of_o a_o father_n contrary_a to_o this_o the_o hypocrite_n and_o unregenerat_a man_n under_o god_n heavy_a hand_n upon_o he_o or_o his_o wife_n child_n good_n etc._n etc._n he_o run_v from_o god_n flee_v from_o he_o as_o from_o a_o tyrant_n and_o betake_v he_o to_o his_o money_n

sing_v of_o psalm_n or_o the_o like_a indeed_o hypocrite_n will_v come_v to_o church_n but_o it_o be_v not_o with_o joy_n and_o with_o delight_n it_o be_v not_o of_o conscience_n to_o meet_v the_o

it_o though_o their_o conscience_n accuse_v they_o of_o some_o sin_n they_o do_v live_v in_o and_o they_o can_v say_v to_o themselves_o as_o lot_n say_v by_o zoar_n oh_o be_v it_o not_o a_o little_a one_o 19_o gen._n 19_o but_o harken_v to_o i_o thou_o that_o think_v it_o a_o small_a matter_n to_o live_v in_o one_o i_o tell_v thou_o live_v and_o die_v impenitent_a in_o the_o one_o and_o it_o will_v be_v thy_o destruction_n do_v not_o herod_n make_v outward_a show_n of_o many_o thing_n yet_o because_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v the_o one_o sin_n of_o incest_n god_n cast_v he_o off_o and_o reject_v he_o i_o tell_v thou_o one_o hole_n in_o a_o ship_n will_v in_o a_o short_a time_n sink_v the_o whole_a ship_n tell_v i_o thou_o that_o with_o thy_o outward_a holiness_n live_v a_o usurer_n a_o drunkard_n a_o careless_a wretch_n dare_v drink_v but_o one_o dram_n of_o poison_n so_o one_o rage_v sin_n will_v bring_v thou_o to_o hell_n the_o second_o sort_n be_v those_o who_o have_v sin_v and_o live_v in_o some_o rage_a sin_n yet_o if_o they_o can_v now_o and_o then_o thrust_v out_o a_o few_o tear_n think_v it_o good_a repentance_n and_o have_v repent_v in_o a_o high_a degree_n but_o alas_o they_o be_v much_o peceive_v for_o their_o tear_n be_v but_o hypocritical_a and_o that_o appear_v in_o that_o either_o they_o be_v shed_v in_o adversity_n as_o be_v saul_n judas_n esau_n or_o else_o in_o the_o congregation_n at_o the_o sermon_n as_o hypocrite_n do_v but_o in_o their_o closert_n or_o in_o secret_a they_o can_v shed_v one_o tear_n i_o tell_v thou_o deceive_v not_o thyself_o for_o tear_n be_v no_o more_o sign_n of_o true_a repentance_n then_o be_v word_n text._n he_o be_v reject_v now_o follow_v the_o three_o degree_n of_o his_o punishment_n which_o be_v that_o have_v set_v the_o time_n of_o mercy_n so_o light_a he_o be_v now_o deny_v though_o he_o use_v mean_n to_o obtain_v it_o the_o date_n be_v out_o at_o the_o glass_n be_v run_v therefore_o no_o mean_n will_v prevail_v doct._n 8_o whence_o we_o do_v learn_v that_o such_o as_o by_o their_o profaneness_n do_v wilful_o refuse_v the_o offer_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o do_v prefer_v their_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n before_o it_o may_v run_v so_o far_o that_o all_o the_o mean_n they_o can_v use_v shall_v never_o obtain_v mercy_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n i_o say_v as_o there_o be_v a_o time_n in_o which_o the_o lord_n will_v woo_v we_o yea_o he_o send_v his_o minister_n to_o entreat_v we_o 6.4_o hosea_n 6.4_o yea_o he_o will_v chide_v and_o expostulate_v the_o matter_n with_o we_o why_o we_o will_v not_o accept_v of_o his_o mercy_n so_o there_o be_v and_o will_v be_v a_o time_n that_o after_o the_o refuse_v of_o grace_n and_o contemn_v of_o mercy_n offer_v the_o lord_n will_v shut_v up_o and_o bolt_n up_o the_o gate_n of_o mercy_n so_o as_o he_o will_v not_o be_v entreat_v at_o our_o hand_n any_o more_o 95.7.8_o psalm_n 95.7.8_o this_o be_v prove_v to_o we_o by_o the_o prophet_n david_n in_o one_o of_o the_o psalm_n where_o he_o exhort_v the_o people_n that_o they_o will_v take_v and_o accept_v of_o the_o time_n the_o lord_n offer_v they_o lest_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o their_o contempt_n and_o refuse_v the_o time_n of_o grace_n the_o lord_n cast_v they_o off_o and_o reject_v they_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o till_o god_n have_v manifest_v his_o will_n there_o be_v hope_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n secret_a decree_n the_o time_n of_o god_n mercy_n may_v be_v out_o even_o during_o this_o life_n therefore_o when_o mercy_n be_v offer_v we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o wilful_o contemn_v it_o not_o lest_o we_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o be_v go_v and_o utterlie_o reject_v us._n one_o of_o the_o fearful_a sign_n of_o a_o castaway_n be_v to_o delay_v and_o put_v off_o the_o lord_n gracious_a offer_n of_o mercy_n as_o we_o read_v of_o pharaoh_n 8.9.10_o exod._n 8.9.10_o who_o when_o moses_n offer_v himself_o to_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o he_o put_v it_o off_o till_o the_o next_o morrow_n so_o he_o that_o have_v the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n offer_v to_o he_o to_o day_n and_o put_v they_o off_o from_o his_o youth_n to_o his_o age_n and_o from_o his_o old_a day_n to_o his_o deathbed_n may_v just_o fear_v a_o utter_a rejection_n even_o then_o when_o he_o hope_v of_o most_o comfort_n for_o the_o further_a press_v this_o doctrine_n on_o our_o conscience_n let_v we_o observe_v some_o place_n of_o scripture_n and_o first_o let_v we_o see_v what_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o such_o as_o despise_v wisdom_n call_v be_v of_o three_o sort_n the_o first_o that_o like_a fool_n content_v themselves_o with_o ignorance_n the_o second_o that_o scoff_n at_o the_o lord_n offer_v by_o his_o servant_n the_o three_o which_o be_v carry_v away_o by_o their_o own_o lust_n because_o i_o have_v call_v and_o you_o refuse_v 1.24_o prou._n 1.24_o i_o have_v stretch_v out_o my_o hand_n and_o none_o will_v regard_v 28._o verse_n 28._o and_o then_o shall_v they_o call_v upon_o i_o but_o i_o will_v not_o answer_v they_o shall_v seek_v i_o early_o but_o they_o shall_v not_o find_v i_o note_v that_o as_o they_o refuse_v the_o time_n in_o which_o he_o call_v so_o they_o shall_v call_v in_o hope_n of_o mercy_n but_o they_o shall_v not_o obtain_v the_o like_a we_o read_v how_o the_o prophet_n esay_n call_v jerusalem_n to_o repentance_n in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n for_o their_o sin_n 22.12.13_o esay_n 22.12.13_o she_o fall_v to_o sport_v and_o feast_v despise_v the_o lord_n message_n and_o offer_n of_o grace_n by_o his_o prophet_n what_o come_v of_o it_o you_o may_v read_v present_o that_o their_o contempt_n come_v to_o the_o lord_n ear_n he_o answer_v sure_o 14._o verse_n 14._o this_o

account_n as_o they_o make_v of_o it_o yet_o it_o will_v shut_v they_o out_o of_o god_n kingdom_n and_o the_o same_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o galathian_o 5.19_o galath_n 5.19_o reckon_v up_o diverse_a sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n set_v fornication_n in_o the_o forefront_n almost_o of_o all_o which_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o sin_n of_o light_a account_n the_o like_v you_o shall_v read_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n 5.3_o ephes_n 5.3_o where_o he_o have_v exhort_v they_o to_o holiness_n of_o life_n labour_v to_o draw_v they_o from_o such_o vice_n as_o will_v hinder_v this_o work_n of_o god_n in_o they_o among_o which_o he_o begin_v with_o the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n and_o this_o he_o do_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o in_o that_o it_o be_v of_o many_o not_o count_v a_o sin_n of_o any_o great_a reckon_n and_o so_o howsoever_o many_o account_n it_o a_o light_a sin_n at_o this_o day_n yet_o know_v you_o it_o be_v a_o heinous_a sin_n a_o most_o grievous_a in_o god_n sight_n i_o will_v not_o wish_v any_o of_o you_o to_o think_v that_o i_o do_v aim_n at_o any_o one_o particular_a man_n for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v i_o be_o but_o a_o stranger_n and_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n before_o who_o we_o do_v stand_v i_o judge_v reverent_o of_o you_o all_o but_o in_o discharge_n of_o my_o duty_n and_o conscience_n i_o labour_v to_o show_v you_o the_o horriblenesse_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n and_o all_o other_o of_o that_o kind_n the_o reason_n to_o press_v this_o doctrine_n upon_o our_o conscience_n be_v diverse_a reas_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o that_o take_v pleasure_n in_o this_o sin_n carry_v the_o mark_n of_o a_o reprobate_n for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o nature_n to_o frame_v our_o action_n to_o the_o will_n and_o like_n of_o our_o friend_n so_o be_v it_o a_o principal_a property_n of_o god_n child_n to_o frame_v his_o will_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n &_o contrariwise_o a_o great_a sign_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n to_o frame_v his_o action_n to_o his_o own_o like_n now_o of_o all_o action_n a_o special_a and_o principal_a one_o be_v to_o keep_v and_o possess_v our_o body_n in_o chastity_n 4.3_o 1._o thess_n 4.3_o according_a as_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v the_o thessalonian_o tell_v they_o that_o if_o they_o will_v frame_v their_o life_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n they_o must_v abstain_v from_o fornication_n and_o know_v how_o to_o possess_v their_o vessel_n in_o holiness_n and_o honour_n reas_n 2_o a_o second_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o by_o commit_v this_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o worship_n do_v to_o the_o devil_n shall_v i_o take_v say_v the_o apostle_n the_o member_n of_o christ_n 6.15_o 1._o cor._n 6.15_o and_o make_v they_o the_o member_n of_o a_o harlot_n now_o a_o harlot_n be_v a_o member_n of_o satan_n so_o that_o he_o that_o prostrate_v his_o body_n to_o a_o harlot_n do_v prostrate_v it_o to_o the_o devil_n reas_n 3_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o the_o lord_n special_o reserve_v to_o be_v punish_v by_o himself_o it_o be_v record_v by_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n who_o say_v 13.4_o hebr._n 13.4_o but_o whoremonger_n and_o adulterer_n god_n will_v judge_v and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o may_v be_v special_o these_o two_o the_o former_a reas_n 1_o because_o the_o whoremaster_n and_o fornicator_n be_v grow_v to_o such_o a_o cunning_a as_o woeful_a experience_n show_v the_o father_n he_o get_v a_o child_n and_o the_o son_n must_v take_v it_o on_o he_o the_o master_n he_o get_v a_o bastard_n and_o the_o servant_n must_v marry_v she_o to_o blind_v the_o world_n withal_o but_o let_v they_o know_v though_o they_o can_v hide_v it_o from_o the_o world_n and_o avoid_v the_o punishment_n of_o man_n yet_o they_o can_v hide_v it_o from_o god_n who_o will_v be_v revenge_v and_o severe_o punish_v it_o reas_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o go_v so_o light_a away_o unpunished_a by_o the_o magistrate_n therefore_o the_o lord_n himself_o will_v take_v it_o into_o his_o own_o hand_n who_o will_v not_o let_v it_o go_v unpunished_a yet_o god_n and_o your_o conscience_n do_v know_v how_o small_a account_n you_o make_v of_o this_o sin_n reas_n 4_o a_o four_o reason_n to_o dissuade_v we_o from_o this_o sin_n be_v because_o it_o brand_v he_o that_o live_v in_o it_o for_o a_o hypocrite_n though_o he_o make_v never_o such_o show_n of_o religion_n outward_o this_o the_o preacher_n show_v when_o he_o say_v and_o i_o find_v more_o bitter_a than_o death_n the_o woman_n who_o heart_n be_v as_o net_n and_o snare_n and_o her_o hand_n as_o band_n he_o that_o be_v good_a before_o god_n shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o she_o but_o the_o sinner_n shall_v be_v take_v by_o she_o i_o pray_v you_o read_v it_o and_o note_v it_o well_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o by_o be_v good_a before_o god_n be_v mean_v a_o sound_n sincere_a religious_a man_n who_o the_o lord_n will_v so_o preserve_v that_o though_o he_o may_v be_v overtake_v with_o this_o sin_n yet_o shall_v he_o not_o live_v and_o delight_n in_o it_o and_o hence_o we_o see_v why_o the_o lord_n permit_v so_o many_o harlot_n in_o the_o land_n because_o there_o be_v so_o many_o hypocrite_n among_o us._n reas_n 5_o a_o five_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o pluck_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n on_o the_o land_n as_o the_o prophet_n jeremie_n say_v 23.10_o jerem._n 23.10_o that_o adultery_n will_v cause_v the_o land_n to_o mourn_v and_o as_o hoseah_n say_v the_o lord_n have_v a_o controversy_n with_o the_o land_n a_o capital_a sin_n be_v because_o there_o be_v whore_v commit_v therein_o and_o for_o experience_n we_o need_v but_o look_v on_o this_o city_n on_o which_o the_o lord_n continue_v one_o of_o the_o arrow_n of_o his_o wrath_n i_o mean_v the_o plague_n and_o pestilence_n know_v you_o that_o whoredom_n be_v a_o capital_a sin_n that_o provoke_v the_o lord_n for_o this_o sin_n be_v a_o special_a mean_n to_o pull_v down_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o send_v and_o continue_v this_o kind_n of_o punishment_n so_o that_o when_o you_o hear_v the_o plague_n increase_n in_o your_o city_n you_o may_v thank_v the_o whoremonger_n for_o it_o reas_n 6_o a_o six_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o fornicator_n be_v fit_a for_o nothing_o but_o for_o hell_n he_o be_v neither_o fit_n for_o god_n nor_o for_o himself_o nor_o for_o the_o land_n not_o for_o god_n for_o all_o he_o do_v be_v accurse_v yea_o his_o very_a prayer_n he_o make_v if_o he_o make_v any_o not_o for_o himself_o for_o thereby_o he_o consume_v his_o body_n and_o waste_v his_o good_n and_o hasten_v beggary_n or_o some_o evil_a and_o untimely_a end_n upon_o himself_o not_o fit_a for_o the_o land_n for_o he_o hasten_v and_o procure_v god_n wrath_n and_o heavy_a displeasure_n against_o it_o the_o use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n use_v 1_o first_o it_o serve_v for_o a_o warn_n to_o such_o as_o be_v taint_v with_o this_o sin_n that_o they_o labour_v in_o prayer_n to_o god_n to_o work_v a_o detestation_n of_o it_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o harlot_n for_o she_o will_v not_o leave_v thou_o till_o she_o have_v get_v the_o blood_n of_o thy_o soul_n yea_o as_o solomon_n say_v 9.18_o prou._n 9.18_o her_o guest_n be_v in_o the_o depth_n of_o hell_n meaning_n they_o be_v as_o sure_a to_o go_v to_o hell_n except_o they_o repent_v as_o if_o they_o be_v there_o already_o remember_v yet_o god_n offer_v grace_n yea_o this_o day_n i_o stand_v here_o as_o god_n minister_v to_o entreat_v thou_o as_o thou_o have_v any_o love_n to_o god_n any_o fear_n of_o his_o judgement_n any_o hope_n to_o appear_v before_o christ_n jesus_n with_o any_o comfort_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n or_o any_o care_n to_o be_v save_v to_o get_v out_o of_o this_o sin_n betimes_o else_o be_v sure_a in_o time_n it_o will_v bring_v thou_o to_o damnation_n use_v 2_o a_o second_o use_v hereof_o serve_v to_o reproove_v such_o as_o make_v light_a account_n of_o it_o and_o count_v it_o but_o a_o trick_n of_o youth_n oh_o vile_a forlorn_a wretch_n be_v it_o but_o a_o trick_n of_o youth_n to_o have_v heaven_n gate_n bolt_v against_o thou_o be_v it_o but_o a_o trick_n of_o youth_n to_o pull_v god_n wrath_n on_o thou_o be_v it_o but_o a_o trick_n of_o youth_n to_o be_v a_o fornicator_n i_o tell_v thou_o such_o trick_n will_v trick_n thou_o to_o hell_n if_o they_o be_v not_o prevent_v by_o repentance_n object_n o_o sir_n say_v some_o i_o have_v satisfy_v the_o l●●d_n and_o do_v my_o penance_n in_o open_a church_n among_o the_o
