can_v not_o think_v heretic_n fit_a to_o be_v trust_v with_o the_o cure_n of_o soul_n but_o otherwise_o as_o to_o temporal_a thing_n i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o they_o inflict_v any_o kind_n of_o punishment_n but_o when_o the_o arian_n come_v to_o have_v the_o power_n in_o their_o hand_n when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o be_v the_o imperial_a religion_n then_o deprive_v be_v nothing_o banishment_n be_v the_o least_o that_o they_o inflict_v in_o many_o place_n they_o proceed_v to_o blood_n which_o be_v never_o draw_v on_o the_o other_o side_n by_o the_o orthodox_n christian_n except_o once_o in_o a_o popular_a tumult_n in_o alexandria_n where_o george_n the_o intrude_a bishop_n be_v tear_v in_o piece_n and_o yet_o that_o be_v rather_o by_o heathen_n than_o by_o christian_n as_o ammian_n himself_o a_o heathen_a writer_n confess_v except_o that_o if_o it_o need_v be_v except_v i_o do_v not_o remember_v any_o other_o instance_n of_o a_o arian_n that_o be_v put_v to_o death_n in_o those_o day_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n and_o to_o show_v that_o likewise_o in_o case_n of_o schism_n the_o best_a christian_n always_o keep_v the_o best_a temper_n beside_o those_o instance_n i_o have_v already_o give_v which_o perhaps_o be_v not_o so_o proper_a to_o prove_v this_o because_o when_o they_o happen_v christianity_n be_v not_o the_o establish_a religion_n when_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n than_o there_o happen_v that_o famous_a schism_n of_o the_o donatist_n which_o give_v a_o evident_a trial_n of_o this_o with_o what_o folly_n and_o fury_n do_v they_o break_v out_o of_o the_o church_n with_o what_o insolence_n and_o perverseness_n do_v they_o behave_v themselves_o towards_o it_o what_o outrage_n do_v they_o commit_v nay_o what_o do_v they_o not_o commit_v even_o to_o blood_n in_o the_o circumcellions_n case_n while_o the_o catholic_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n except_o in_o that_o case_n which_o force_v rigour_n from_o they_o in_o their_o own_o defence_n treat_v they_o with_o all_o calmness_n and_o gentleness_n they_o call_v they_o brethren_n in_o their_o write_n they_o woo_v they_o to_o be_v friend_n and_o offer_v they_o term_n of_o communion_n such_o as_o none_o will_v have_v offer_v but_o passionate_a lover_n of_o peace_n such_o as_o none_o will_v have_v refuse_v but_o the_o obstinate_a enemy_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o all_o this_o while_n the_o catholic_n have_v the_o government_n on_o their_o side_n which_o since_o those_o schismatic_n can_v not_o get_v from_o they_o they_o take_v a_o course_n to_o destroy_v it_o by_o let_v in_o the_o vandal_n into_o the_o roman_a empire_n i_o have_v show_v so_o much_o of_o this_o diabolical_a spirit_n in_o every_o sort_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n not_o only_o in_o heathen_n and_o unbeliever_n without_o but_o also_o in_o heretic_n and_o schismatic_n within_o and_o i_o have_v show_v so_o much_o of_o the_o christian_a spirit_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o great_a patience_n and_o meekness_n of_o god_n people_n in_o deal_v with_o all_o sort_n of_o enemy_n that_o consider_v what_o advantage_n they_o have_v who_o lie_v about_o they_o with_o rage_n against_o those_o that_o stand_v still_o and_o be_v only_o ready_a to_o suffer_v one_o will_v wonder_v that_o long_o since_o true_a religion_n have_v not_o be_v destroy_v or_o drive_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o to_o this_o i_o have_v to_o answer_v and_o this_o be_v my_o second_o doctrine_n that_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o rage_n and_o malice_n of_o the_o adversary_n and_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o meekness_n of_o christian_n yet_o still_o god_n be_v concern_v for_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o he_o show_v it_o by_o send_v such_o seasonable_a deliverance_n as_o preserve_v it_o often_o from_o hurt_n and_o always_o from_o utter_a destruction_n destroy_v it_o shall_v never_o be_v for_o so_o much_o christ_n declare_v before_o he_o build_v his_o church_n when_o he_o promise_v to_o make_v his_o apostle_n the_o foundation-stone_n in_o it_o say_v to_o peter_n in_o particular_a upon_o thou_o will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n he_o add_v this_o promise_n that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o and_o so_o to_o all_o his_o apostle_n at_o part_v when_o he_o be_v about_o to_o be_v take_v up_o into_o heaven_n he_o promise_v for_o all_o that_o i_o will_v be_v with_o you_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n if_o christ_n be_v with_o his_o church_n according_a to_o his_o promise_n that_o be_v enough_o to_o secure_v it_o against_o utter_a destruction_n i_o speak_v now_o as_o to_o the_o catholic_n or_o universal_a church_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o promise_n give_v to_o particular_a church_n they_o may_v be_v destroy_v and_o perish_v for_o their_o sin_n we_o see_v many_o be_v so_o already_o almost_o all_o that_o be_v plant_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n where_o our_o religion_n begin_v the_o church_n of_o antioch_n where_o we_o be_v first_o call_v christian_n the_o six_o church_n to_o which_o st._n paul_n write_v his_o epistle_n the_o seven_o to_o which_o st._n john_n write_v in_o his_o

judgement_n which_o god_n threaten_v long_o since_o that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o repent_v he_o will_v take_v away_o their_o candlestick_n from_o they_o a_o judgement_n so_o dreadful_o execute_v to_o warn_v we_o that_o unless_o we_o repent_v we_o shall_v all_o likewise_o perish_v but_o then_o if_o we_o do_v repent_v we_o shall_v not_o perish_v this_o we_o know_v for_o a_o exception_n strengthen_v a_o rule_n we_o know_v that_o they_o which_o keep_v up_o the_o power_n of_o religion_n shall_v find_v it_o a_o strong_a band_n between_o they_o and_o god_n by_o which_o as_o we_o oblige_v ourselves_o to_o he_o not_o to_o leave_v he_o nor_o forsake_v he_o so_o he_o oblige_v himself_o to_o we_o that_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v we_o nor_o forsake_v we_o and_o therefore_o howsoever_o for_o our_o lesser_a transgression_n he_o may_v punish_v our_o offence_n with_o a_o rod_n and_o our_o sin_n with_o scourge_n nevertheless_o his_o love_a kindness_n will_v he_o not_o utter_o take_v from_o we_o nor_o suffer_v his_o truth_n to_o fail_v nay_o in_o this_o case_n if_o he_o suffer_v his_o church_n to_o be_v oppress_v his_o design_n may_v be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o punish_v as_o to_o purge_v they_o he_o may_v run_v they_o through_o the_o fire_n to_o melt_v out_o their_o dross_n to_o make_v they_o shine_v more_o glorious_a by_o have_v be_v for_o a_o while_n in_o persecution_n but_o

rod_n we_o be_v sure_a in_o all_o condition_n to_o be_v under_o the_o good_a providence_n of_o god_n if_o our_o way_n please_v the_o lord_n either_o he_o will_v make_v our_o enemy_n to_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o we_o or_o he_o will_v not_o let_v they_o be_v able_a to_o hurt_v we_o at_o least_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v their_o will_n upon_o we_o they_o shall_v not_o say_v there_o there_o so_o will_v we_o have_v it_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o swallow_v we_o up_o quick_a though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o wrathful_o displease_v at_o we_o the_o way_n that_o god_n have_v to_o deliver_v we_o be_v many_o more_o than_o i_o be_o able_a to_o reckon_v and_o yet_o i_o can_v reckon_v more_o than_o i_o can_v bring_v within_o my_o time_n but_o so_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v what_o matter_n be_v it_o which_o way_n god_n use_v whether_o by_o destroy_v his_o and_o our_o enemy_n whether_o by_o break_v their_o combination_n against_o we_o or_o by_o otherwise_o weaken_v their_o strength_n whether_o by_o infatuate_a their_o counsel_n or_o discover_v their_o crafty_a design_n whether_o by_o raise_v we_o up_o friend_n or_o unite_n we_o among_o ourselves_o and_o so_o make_v we_o too_o many_o and_o too_o strong_a for_o they_o whether_o by_o give_v mean_n unexpected_a or_o by_o blessing_n what_o we_o have_v above_o expectation_n he_o can_v do_v what_o and_o which_o way_n he_o will_v and_o we_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o deliver_v his_o people_n from_o their_o enemy_n for_o he_o be_v on_o their_o side_n and_o will_v show_v it_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v need_n and_o when_o he_o see_v it_o the_o fit_a time_n to_o deliver_v they_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v hitherto_o have_v be_v only_o upon_o such_o general_a head_n as_o be_v equal_o acknowledge_v by_o all_o sort_n of_o christian_n among_o we_o and_o for_o this_o agreement_n

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

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
