you_o bear_v your_o in_o quity_n even_o forty_o year_n and_o you_o shall_v know_v my_o breach_n of_o promise_n will_v god_n break_v his_o promise_n as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v i_o have_v promise_v to_o bring_v you_o into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n upon_o such_o and_o such_o condition_n but_o now_o if_o you_o do_v not_o perform_v the_o condition_n i_o count_v myself_o free_a and_o you_o shall_v know_v my_o breach_n of_o promise_n that_o i_o will_v not_o give_v you_o the_o thing_n that_o i_o be_o about_o to_o give_v you_o reas_n 3_o three_o god_n never_o give_v his_o people_n any_o mercy_n but_o he_o give_v it_o they_o in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n he_o do_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o give_v they_o that_o which_o be_v mercy_n but_o he_o will_v give_v it_o they_o in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n as_o now_o in_o your_o gift_n to_o god_n if_o you_o be_v gracious_a you_o do_v not_o think_v it_o enough_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v gracious_a but_o do_v it_o in_o a_o gracious_a manner_n so_o god_n in_o his_o gift_n to_o you_o will_v not_o only_o give_v you_o that_o which_o be_v mercy_n but_o he_o will_v give_v it_o you_o in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n but_o now_o if_o god_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n towards_o his_o people_n and_o they_o sin_n against_o he_o and_o he_o shall_v go_v on_o to_o give_v they_o the_o mercy_n they_o will_v be_v harden_v in_o their_o sin_n and_o so_o it_o will_v not_o come_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o way_n of_o mercy_n therefore_o if_o god_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n towards_o his_o people_n and_o they_o sin_n against_o he_o he_o will_v break_v off_o the_o course_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o go_v another_o way_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o stoppage_n make_v in_o these_o proceed_n object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v we_o see_v the_o contrary_a who_o have_v more_o blessing_n and_o outward_a mercy_n than_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o more_o sinful_a what_o adultery_n what_o idolatry_n sorcery_n opposition_n of_o saint_n and_o minister_n and_o you_o know_v what_o plenty_n be_v among_o they_o and_o god_n go_v on_o to_o give_v they_o mercy_n after_o mercy_n outward_a blessing_n after_o outward_a blessing_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v not_o true_a we_o see_v it_o in_o experience_n otherwise_o that_o our_o sin_n do_v not_o make_v a_o stoppage_n in_o the_o proceed_n of_o mercy_n answ_n but_o for_o answer_v hereunto_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o true_a god_n do_v not_o go_v on_o in_o a_o way_n of_o blessing_n and_o mercy_n towards_o they_o beloved_n of_o all_o affliction_n it_o be_v the_o great_a affliction_n to_o be_v without_o affliction_n of_o all_o judgement_n it_o be_v the_o great_a judgement_n to_o want_v judgement_n as_o you_o may_v see_v for_o this_o purpose_n isa_n 1._o why_o shall_v you_o be_v strike_v any_o more_o you_o will_v revolt_v more_o and_o more_o it_o be_v the_o great_a stroke_n not_o to_o be_v smite_v and_o the_o great_a affliction_n to_o be_v deny_v affliction_n when_o there_o be_v use_v and_o need_v of_o it_o now_o though_o the_o people_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o party_n flourish_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o their_o soul_n be_v smite_v god_n smite_v they_o with_o blindness_n and_o with_o spiritual_a death_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o stoppage_n make_v in_o the_o proceed_n of_o mercy_n 2._o but_o i_o rather_o answer_v it_o thus_o when_o god_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n towards_o his_o people_n towards_o his_o church_n than_o sin_n will_v make_v a_o stoppage_n those_o of_o rome_n be_v no_o true_a church_n the_o church_n be_v in_o babylon_n but_o babylon_n be_v not_o the_o church_n the_o church_n be_v in_o egypt_n but_o egypt_n be_v not_o the_o church_n lot_n be_v in_o sodom_n sodom_n be_v not_o in_o lot_n family_n rome_n be_v call_v babylon_n egypt_n and_o sodom_n they_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o if_o the_o church_n of_o god_n sin_n when_o god_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n a_o stoppage_n shall_v be_v make_v rather_o for_o they_o then_o for_o other_o for_o these_o two_o or_o three_o reason_n reas_n 1_o first_o they_o be_v in_o god_n house_n and_o their_o sin_n be_v great_a the_o great_a house_n of_o god_n be_v as_o a_o great_a man_n house_n who_o have_v some_o servant_n that_o do_v his_o work_n abroad_o in_o the_o field_n some_o that_o tend_v in_o his_o chamber_n that_o be_v near_a round_o about_o he_o if_o those_o servant_n that_o be_v near_o he_o be_v naught_o and_o vile_a it_o make_v more_o to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o the_o master_n then_o if_o those_o be_v so_o that_o be_v abroad_o in_o the_o field_n now_o god_n people_n be_v a_o people_n that_o be_v round_o about_o he_o near_o unto_o he_o his_o household_n servant_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o sin_v when_o god_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n god_n will_v turn_v out_o of_o that_o way_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o stoppage_n make_v in_o god_n proceed_n reas_n 2_o second_o their_o sin_n be_v of_o all_o other_o the_o most_o scandalous_a and_o therefore_o the_o worse_a the_o more_o dishonour_v to_o god_n the_o more_o provoke_v if_o two_o man_n be_v drink_v one_o a_o professor_n and_o the_o other_o not_o why_o there_o be_v no_o scandal_n arise_v from_o the_o drunkenness_n of_o he_o that_o be_v no_o professor_n but_o if_o a_o professor_n be_v get_v in_o and_o make_v drink_v they_o be_v all_o so_o what_o a_o scandal_n arise_v and_o so_o if_o two_o commit_v adultery_n the_o one_o a_o professor_n and_o the_o other_o not_o the_o scandal_n arise_v from_o the_o professor_n profession_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o scandal_n and_o therefore_o 2_o sam._n 20.12_o when_o as_o amasa_n be_v slay_v and_o lay_v in_o his_o blood_n the_o people_n make_v a_o stay_n and_o go_v no_o further_o till_o they_o draw_v he_o out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o cast_v a_o cloth_n over_o he_o so_o when_o a_o professor_n fall_v and_o lie_v in_o his_o blood_n there_o be_v a_o stand_v make_v in_o people_n duty_n and_o conversation_n and_o therefore_o just_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o stop_v make_v in_o the_o proceed_n of_o god_n mercy_n reas_n 3_o three_o their_o sin_n be_v most_o against_o the_o remedy_n sin_n against_o the_o remedy_n be_v the_o great_a sin_n and_o therefore_o his_o sin_n be_v great_a that_o commit_v adultery_n be_v marry_v than_o his_o that_o commit_v fornication_n though_o both_o be_v evil_a because_o he_o sin_n against_o the_o remedy_n now_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v more_o remedy_n against_o sin_n than_o other_o more_o light_a more_o grace_n more_o mean_n more_o help_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o sin_v when_o god_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n god_n will_v rather_o make_v a_o stoppage_n in_o they_o then_o in_o other_o o_o that_o i_o may_v leave_v this_o impression_n upon_o you_o that_o be_v professor_n and_o godly_a that_o you_o may_v take_v heed_n how_o you_o sin_n against_o god_n quest_n why_o shall_v this_o be_v that_o so_o small_a a_o sin_n shall_v turn_v the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o his_o mercy_n achan_n commit_v but_o a_o small_a sin_n and_o what_o a_o mighty_a stop_n be_v make_v in_o the_o way_n of_o mercy_n so_o david_n number_v the_o people_n it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n and_o a_o plague_n break_v out_o present_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o for_o sin_n that_o be_v little_a and_o small_a such_o a_o stoppage_n shall_v be_v make_v in_o the_o proceed_n and_o mercy_n of_o the_o great_a god_n answ_n for_o answer_v three_o thing_n 1._o there_o be_v nothing_o small_a between_o god_n and_o we_o and_o it_o be_v true_a if_o thou_o have_v but_o the_o least_o crumb_n of_o bread_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n because_o it_o come_v from_o the_o great_a god_n and_o if_o you_o commit_v a_o sin_n though_o never_o so_o little_a in_o your_o own_o eye_n it_o be_v great_a because_o commit_v against_o the_o great_a god_n i_o may_v bold_o say_v thus_o much_o that_o man_n sin_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o say_v their_o sin_n be_v small_a 2._o second_o sometime_o what_o fall_v short_a in_o the_o greatness_n of_o sin_n be_v make_v up_o in_o the_o number_n of_o sin_n great_a sin_n do_v go_v alone_o small_a sin_n do_v go_v by_o company_n as_o with_o creature_n so_o with_o sin_n you_o shall_v observe_v it_o so_o in_o the_o heaven_n and_o in_o the_o air_n and_o in_o the_o water_n and_o in_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o heaven_n but_o one_o great_a sun_n many_o less_o star_n in_o the_o air_n you_o have_v but_o few_o great_a and_o kingly_a bird_n the_o eagle_n she_o fly_v alone_o but_o your_o pigeon_n that_o be_v lesser_a fly_v by_o flight_n in_o

the_o water_n your_o great_a whale_n go_v alone_o but_o your_o lesser_a herring_n go_v by_o shoal_n on_o the_o earth_n the_o great_a elephant_n go_v alone_o your_o lesser_a sheep_n go_v by_o flock_n and_o your_o hog_n by_o herd_n the_o lesser_a sand_n infinite_a in_o number_n rock_n few_o and_o so_o with_o man_n sin_n great_a sin_n they_o go_v alone_o but_o lesser_a sin_n go_v by_o company_n and_o oftentimes_o the_o number_n of_o your_o lesser_a sin_n do_v make_v up_o what_o be_v want_v in_o the_o greatness_n of_o your_o sin_n a_o man_n may_v be_v drink_v but_o once_o or_o twice_o in_o his_o life_n in_o the_o gross_a act_n of_o it_o but_o he_o may_v be_v so_o often_o in_o drunken_a company_n and_o spend_v away_o so_o many_o hour_n which_o shall_v amount_v to_o drunkenness_n a_o man_n may_v commit_v adultery_n but_o once_o in_o his_o life_n but_o he_o may_v have_v as_o many_o unclean_a thought_n as_o shall_v amount_v to_o adultery_n so_o that_o what_o fall_v short_a in_o the_o greatness_n of_o sin_n be_v make_v up_o in_o the_o number_n and_o therefore_o say_v not_o why_o shall_v god_n for_o a_o little_a sin_n turn_v out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o mercy_n it_o may_v be_v the_o number_n of_o your_o little_a sin_n amount_v to_o the_o great_a sin_n 3._o three_o beloved_n god_n will_v make_v good_a his_o name_n to_o the_o utmost_a and_o his_o name_n be_v a_o jealous_a god_n now_o a_o husband_n jealousy_n arisech_v not_o when_o he_o see_v his_o wife_n commit_v adultery_n but_o if_o he_o do_v but_o see_v she_o play_v and_o sport_v with_o a_o stranger_n so_o god_n jealousy_n arise_v not_o only_a when_o we_o commit_v the_o gross_a act_n of_o idolatry_n when_o we_o bow_v before_o a_o idol_n but_o if_o we_o be_v sport_v and_o play_v with_o superstition_n for_o god_n be_v a_o jealous_a god_n and_o though_o the_o husband_n do_v not_o see_v cause_n enough_o to_o turn_v away_o his_o wife_n because_o of_o she_o sport_v and_o play_v and_o dally_v he_o may_v see_v cause_n enough_o to_o deny_v such_o a_o courtesy_n so_o god_n though_o he_o do_v not_o give_v a_o bill_n of_o divorce_n for_o such_o a_o sin_n which_o you_o count_v lesser_a yet_o he_o may_v see_v cause_n enough_o to_o make_v a_o stoppage_n in_o his_o proceed_n of_o mercy_n thus_o the_o doctrine_n stand_v firm_a when_o god_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n towards_o his_o people_n if_o they_o do_v sin_n against_o he_o their_o sin_n may_v make_v a_o stoppage_n in_o his_o proceed_n by_o way_n of_o application_n use_v hence_o you_o may_v see_v what_o the_o reason_n be_v why_o there_o be_v a_o stop_n make_v now_o of_o late_a in_o our_o england_n mercy_n this_o last_o year_n god_n have_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o england_n as_o ever_o england_n see_v and_o that_o man_n that_o see_v it_o not_o i_o shall_v think_v that_o scripture_n have_v take_v hold_n upon_o he_o which_o you_o have_v in_o jer._n 27.5_o 6._o curse_a be_v the_o man_n that_o trust_v in_o man_n and_o make_v flesh_n his_o arm_n and_o who_o heart_n depart_v from_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o shall_v be_v like_o the_o heath_n in_o the_o desert_n and_o shall_v not_o see_v when_o good_a come_v whether_o out_o of_o envy_n or_o malice_n but_o when_o good_a come_v upon_o a_o people_n he_o shall_v not_o see_v it_o but_o who_o do_v not_o see_v what_o a_o black_a cloud_n be_v draw_v over_o we_o again_o when_o the_o water_n swell_v and_o stand_v up_o you_o say_v sure_o there_o be_v a_o stop_v make_v the_o water_n do_v not_o run_v down_o as_o before_o not_o long_o since_o justice_n and_o judgement_n do_v run_v down_o like_o a_o mighty_a stream_n but_o now_o how_o the_o water_n swell_v gather_v and_o stand_v up_o again_o wicked_a man_n lie_v in_o prison_n and_o those_o not_o censure_v priest_n and_o jesuit_n lie_v condemn_v and_o choose_v not_o execute_v the_o plague_n be_v begin_v and_o that_o be_v not_o quench_v the_o sword_n have_v begin_v to_o drink_v deep_a in_o our_o brethren_n blood_n and_o that_o be_v not_o sheathe_v the_o wrath_n of_o our_o king_n be_v enkindle_v divers_a of_o our_o parliamentary_a worthy_n accuse_v of_o high_a treason_n certain_o there_o be_v a_o stoppage_n make_v in_o the_o proceed_n of_o england_n mercy_n oh_o beloved_n this_o our_o sin_n have_v do_v quest_n but_o you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o shall_v there_o be_v a_o stoppage_n make_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o mercy_n of_o england_n answ_n you_o will_v find_v for_o answer_n if_o you_o look_v into_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a stoppage_n of_o mercy_n final_a and_o present_v final_a as_o god_n be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n towards_o saul_n and_o be_v about_o to_o settle_v the_o kingdom_n upon_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n for_o ever_o but_o he_o sin_v and_o the_o lord_n turn_v away_o from_o saul_n and_o turn_v away_o from_o he_o for_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o final_a stoppage_n of_o mercy_n make_v now_o though_o there_o be_v a_o stop_v make_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n mercy_n towards_o england_n i_o conceive_v there_o be_v not_o a_o final_a stoppage_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v these_o 1._o because_o that_o though_o many_o difficulty_n and_o mountain_n do_v arise_v yet_o we_o see_v how_o one_o after_o another_o they_o do_v melt_v 2._o and_o because_o god_n have_v raise_v up_o instrement_n that_o be_v unwearyed_a in_o his_o service_n work_v night_n and_o day_n and_o be_v unwearyed_a in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n 3._o as_o also_o because_o that_o the_o type_n of_o this_o work_n do_v speak_v as_o much_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n come_n out_o of_o babylon_n and_o build_v the_o temple_n be_v a_o type_n of_o our_o come_n out_o of_o antichristian_a bondage_n and_o the_o great_a reformation_n that_o be_v now_o begin_v now_o than_o though_o there_o be_v many_o let_v and_o hindrance_n by_o tobiah_n and_o sanballat_n and_o other_o they_o can_v never_o hinder_v it_o full_o but_o it_o recover_v its_o self_n and_o be_v drive_v on_o so_o in_o this_o build_n and_o work_n of_o reformation_n though_o the_o tobiah'ss_n and_o sanballat_n of_o the_o time_n may_v cause_v the_o work_n to_o cease_v for_o a_o time_n the_o building_n shall_v get_v up_o and_o shall_v not_o full_o cease_v but_o the_o work_n of_o reformation_n shall_v be_v drive_v on_o in_o the_o despite_n of_o all_o the_o enemy_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o final_a stop_n now_o make_v in_o england_n mercy_n but_o there_o be_v a_o present_a stop_n as_o when_o the_o plague_n break_v out_o in_o david_n time_n and_o such_o a_o stoppage_n be_v make_v now_o quest_n but_o what_o evil_a and_o

of_o mercy_n you_o read_v in_o the_o 2_o judg._n when_o the_o angel_n come_v with_o a_o message_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o canaanites_n shall_v be_v as_o thorn_n in_o
