these_o we_o may_v make_v salvation_n our_o end_n and_o serve_v god_n for_o this_o end_n but_o then_o we_o must_v understand_v it_o aright_o not_o bare_o to_o be_v free_a from_o wrath_n 1._o wrath_n

of_o the_o chief_a good_a 1_o by_o propound_v something_o which_o in_o itself_o be_v evil_a under_o the_o show_n and_o appearance_n of_o good_a many_o man_n seem_v very_o active_a and_o zealous_a in_o many_o good_a work_n but_o they_o have_v very_o ungodly_a end_n that_o which_o they_o aim_v at_o in_o the_o do_n of_o they_o be_v some_o wicked_a thing_n we_o have_v divers_a instance_n of_o this_o in_o the_o scripture_n 1_o balaam_n when_o balak_n the_o king_n of_o moab_n send_v to_o he_o to_o curse_v the_o israelite_n he_o will_v consult_v with_o god_n and_o profess_v that_o if_o the_o king_n

scrupulous_a be_v balaam_n now_o what_o a_o tender_a conscience_n have_v he_o one_o will_v have_v think_v that_o the_o thing_n he_o aim_v at_o be_v to_o do_v as_o god_n will_v have_v he_o but_o no_o such_o matter_n it_o be_v to_o do_v as_o balak_n will_v have_v he_o it_o be_v that_o he_o may_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a get_v leave_v to_o curse_v the_o people_n of_o god_n thus_o many_o man_n search_v the_o scripture_n but_o it_o be_v to_o see_v if_o they_o can_v pick_v out_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v make_v for_o some_o wicked_a practice_n which_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o continue_v or_o against_o some_o good_a duty_n which_o they_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o perform_v thus_o many_o man_n flock_v after_o sermon_n and_o one_o will_v think_v that_o they_o mean_v to_o practise_v what_o they_o hear_v but_o it_o be_v true_a of_o they_o as_o god_n say_v of_o 33.31_o of_o ezek._n 33.31_o ezekiel_n hearer_n they_o come_v unto_o the_o minister_n as_o the_o people_n come_v and_o they_o

after_o their_o covetousness_n their_o heart_n go_v after_o some_o base_a wicked_a lust_n or_o other_o and_o they_o hope_v that_o something_o may_v be_v say_v for_o the_o countenance_v of_o it_o but_o if_o not_o they_o be_v resolve_v to_o follow_v it_o notwithstanding_o and_o thus_o many_o come_v with_o case_n and_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n but_o it_o be_v only_o to_o get_v something_o that_o may_v comfort_v they_o in_o their_o evil_a way_n 2_o abner_n after_o a_o long_a war_n that_o he_o have_v wage_v against_o david_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o ishbosheth_n saul_n son_n he_o bind_v

beer-sheba_a one_o may_v have_v think_v that_o abner_n have_v repent_v of_o his_o opposition_n against_o david_n but_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v revenge_v upon_o ishbosheth_n who_o have_v reprove_v
