god_n only_o that_o can_v build_v and_o plant_v a_o nation_n he_o be_v the_o only_a architect_n that_o can_v build_v our_o waste_a place_n and_o make_v up_o our_o dilapidation_n though_o never_o so_o great_a he_o be_v the_o only_a gardener_n to_o pluck_v up_o our_o weed_n and_o to_o plant_v useful_a and_o fruitful_a tree_n in_o the_o orchard_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o if_o he_o please_v he_o can_v do_v it_o and_o that_o in_o a_o instant_n with_o a_o word_n speak_v for_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o text_n at_o what_o instant_a i_o speak_v concerning_o a_o nation_n to_o build_v and_o to_o plant_v it_o though_o the_o house_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v never_o so_o much_o out_o of_o repair_n god_n can_v in_o a_o instant_n build_v we_o and_o plant_v we_o and_o make_v we_o better_o than_o ever_o but_o if_o god_n begin_v to_o repent_v of_o what_o he_o have_v do_v woe_n to_o the_o nation_n 1._o for_o except_v the_o lord_n build_v the_o house_n they_o labour_v in_o vain_a that_o build_v it_o in_o vain_a to_o rise_v up_o early_o and_o to_o sit_v up_o late_o etc._n etc._n god_n will_v unravel_v all_o and_o though_o he_o have_v bring_v we_o near_o canaan_n he_o will_v carry_v we_o back_o again_o and_o make_v we_o to_o tarry_v forty_o year_n for_o a_o reformation_n or_o it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v at_o last_o carry_v we_o back_o again_o to_o egypt_n which_o be_v the_o last_o and_o great_a curse_n 68_o threaten_v against_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o it_o be_v the_o great_a misery_n that_o can_v come_v upon_o this_o nation_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o we_o turn_v from_o our_o evil_a way_n god_n will_v perfect_v his_o build_n and_o finish_v his_o plantation_n he_o will_v make_v we_o a_o glorious_a paradise_n a_o habitation_n fit_a for_o himself_o to_o dwell_v in_o he_o will_v set_v up_o his_o ordinance_n after_o a_o pure_a manner_n and_o watch_v over_o we_o for_o good_a from_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o year_n to_o the_o end_n of_o it_o oh_o that_o these_o word_n of_o i_o may_v be_v as_o goad_n and_o as_o nail_n to_o fasten_v this_o point_n upon_o your_o heart_n that_o it_o may_v take_v deep_a impression_n and_o abide_v for_o ever_o upon_o your_o spirit_n it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v say_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v as_o common_a as_o the_o highway_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v a_o common_a high_a way_n but_o it_o be_v the_o high_a way_n to_o heaven_n and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o a_o doctrine_n to_o glut_v your_o ear_n yet_o it_o be_v savoury_a meat_n such_o as_o jacob_n provide_v for_o esau_n whereby_o he_o obtain_v the_o blessing_n turn_v or_o burn_v for_o ever_o in_o hell_n let_v every_o man_n labour_n first_o to_o turn_v himself_o and_o then_o let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o reform_v one_o another_o there_o be_v a_o great_a complaint_n in_o the_o kingdom_n the_o minister_n complain_v of_o their_o people_n that_o they_o be_v factious_a seditious_a covetous_a disrespectful_a of_o the_o ministry_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o because_o they_o do_v not_o reform_v therefore_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v not_o turn_v away_o from_o we_o the_o people_n complain_v of_o their_o minister_n that_o they_o be_v dumb_a dog_n greedy_a dog_n which_o can_v never_o have_v enough_o and_o that_o they_o be_v superstitious_a more_o for_o pomp_n then_o substance_n and_o that_o until_o the_o scandalous_a minister_n be_v remove_v god_n heavy_a hand_n will_v never_o be_v remove_v from_o we_o the_o rich_a complain_v of_o the_o poor_a that_o they_o be_v lazy_a and_o thievish_a the_o poor_a of_o the_o rich_a that_o they_o be_v proud_a and_o hard-hearted_a the_o superior_n cry_v out_o against_o their_o inferior_n and_o the_o inferior_n against_o the_o superior_n and_o because_o every_o man_n expect_v when_o his_o neighbour_n shall_v turn_v hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o no_o man_n in_o particular_a turn_n we_o look_v for_o that_o in_o another_o which_o we_o forget_v to_o do_v in_o ourselves_o i_o know_v no_o way_n to_o reconcile_v this_o division_n but_o by_o raise_v a_o new_a division_n and_o by_o persuade_v all_o sort_n of_o people_n to_o strive_v who_o shall_v be_v the_o first_o in_o turn_v to_o god_n who_o shall_v first_o get_v into_o christ_n who_o shall_v first_o get_v into_o the_o ark_n every_o man_n strive_v for_o worldly_a precedency_n oh_o let_v we_o strive_v for_o this_o
