before_o 28._o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v nay_o i_o add_v in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o strengthen_v you_o that_o as_o they_o work_v all_o of_o they_o the_o lord_n work_v so_o

believe_v all_o these_o thing_n may_v not_o our_o heart_n rest_v quiet_a may_v not_o we_o if_o we_o be_v engage_v in_o a_o good_a cause_n may_v not_o we_o i_o say_v with_o comfort_n and_o confidence_n put_v it_o into_o the_o lord_n hand_n and_o let_v he_o do_v what_o he_o will_v i_o be_o persuade_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o diffidence_n and_o discouragement_n that_o be_v find_v among_o the_o

be_v but_o politician_n and_o carry_v carnal_a and_o worldly_a design_n of_o their_o own_o such_o a_o lesson_n as_o this_o can_v be_v of_o no_o use_n nor_o stay_v to_o they_o for_o jesus_n christ_n

they_o may_v comfortable_o set_v down_o this_o conclusion_n their_o adversary_n may_v have_v great_a power_n and_o strength_n but_o the_o church_n have_v immanuel_n they_o have_v the_o wealth_n of_o

to_o own_o you_o i_o beseech_v you_o receive_v this_o humble_a advice_n which_o i_o give_v you_o in_o his_o name_n do_v you_o obey_v his_o will_n in_o it_o i_o dare_v promise_v you_o he_o will_v yet_o be_v with_o you_o and_o do_v all_o your_o work_n for_o you_o humble_a yourselves_o deep_o under_o that_o hand_n of_o god_n which_o be_v go_v out_o against_o you_o god_n have_v now_o lay_v you_o 1._o very_o low_a it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v never_o parliament_n of_o england_n upon_o which_o god_n have_v pour_v so_o many_o favour_n so_o many_o deliverance_n and_o victory_n and_o it_o be_v as_o

like_o the_o lose_v innocent_a state_n of_o man_n never_o more_o to_o be_v repair_v but_o by_o a_o immanuel_n none_o but_o jesus_n christ_n be_v able_a to_o repair_v this_o dishonour_n and_o

your_o soul_n acknowledge_v the_o lord_n to_o be_v righteous_a in_o all_o the_o contempt_n that_o he_o have_v pour_v upon_o you_o and_o that_o you_o have_v deserve_v far_o worse_o
upon_o the_o church_n yet_o the_o lord_n set_v bound_n to_o they_o that_o they_o can_v go_v so_o far_o as_o the_o enemy_n will_v here_o the_o water_n shall_v come_v up_o to_o the_o chin_n but_o yet_o not_o over_o head_n and_o ear_n the_o lord_n often_o afflict_v his_o people_n but_o he_o will_v not_o give_v they_o up_o to_o a_o total_a spoil_n and_o desolation_n all_o these_o thing_n deserve_v to_o be_v handle_v more_o full_o but_o the_o time_n will_v not_o allow_v it_o i_o come_v now_o therefore_o to_o that_o only_a lesson_n that_o i_o intend_v more_o full_a to_o insist_v upon_o and_o that_o be_v this_o immanuel_n our_o bless_a saviour_n do_v turn_v all_o the_o plot_n it_o and_o conspiracy_n that_o be_v against_o his_o church_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o contriver_n and_o make_v they_o for_o the_o salvation_n and_o deliverance_n of_o his_o people_n that_o be_v the_o lesson_n that_o all_o the_o association_n and_o plot_n that_o be_v against_o god_n people_n jesus_n christ_n do_v so_o order_v the_o matter_n that_o etc._n in_o the_o result_n and_o event_n they_o shall_v be_v all_o turn_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o adversary_n and_o for_o the_o welfare_n of_o those_o that_o be_v his_o servant_n there_o be_v no_o one_o argument_n in_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n more_o frequent_o repeat_v in_o various_a instance_n than_o this_o doctrine_n which_o i_o have_v propound_v that_o of_o egypt_n of_o sisera_n of_o senacherib_n of_o haman_n of_o the_o conspiracy_n against_o christ_n and_o a_o hundred_o other_o more_o some_o relate_v to_o the_o church_n in_o general_a some_o relate_v to_o particular_a godly_a man_n in_o all_o of_o they_o the_o lord_n have_v ever_o make_v it_o good_a that_o the_o mischief_n intend_v text_n against_o his_o people_n turn_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o the_o contriver_n but_o to_o make_v it_o a_o little_a clear_a to_o you_o i_o pray_v you_o note_v these_o four_o or_o five_o conclusion_n which_o all_o lie_n in_o my_o text_n first_o 1._o that_o all_o the_o plot_n and_o conspiracy_n that_o wicked_a man_n people_n have_v against_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o contrive_n of_o they_o here_o be_v senacherib_n he_o and_o his_o people_n have_v confederate_v and_o associate_v in_o this_o plot_n but_o god_n send_v he_o verse_n 7._o now_o therefore_o the_o church_n lord_n bring_v upon_o they_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n the_o lord_n have_v determine_v how_o far_o he_o shall_v go_v how_o he_o shall_v spread_v over_o all_o the_o land_n and_o his_o water_n shall_v reach_v up_o to_o the_o neck_n in_o the_o next_o chapter_n but_o one_o in_o the_o 10_o isa._n god_n say_v of_o he_o i_o send_v he_o against_o they_o though_o he_o do_v not_o think_v so_o so_o also_o in_o the_o 4._o of_o micah_n many_o nation_n be_v gather_v together_o against_o thou_o etc._n etc._n but_o it_o follow_v present_o i_o gather_v they_o as_o sheaf_n so_o in_o the_o famous_a case_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n herod_n and_o pontius_n pilate_n with_o the_o 28._o gentile_n and_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v gather_v together_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o against_o his_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v to_o do_v what_o god_n hand_n and_o counsel_n have_v before_o determine_v to_o be_v do_v second_o in_o this_o contrivement_n jesus_n christ_n intend_v one_o thing_n 2._o and_o the_o enemy_n intend_v another_o thing_n each_o of_o they_o thing_n work_v according_a to_o their_o own_o principle_n that_o you_o have_v plain_a here_o the_o assyrian_a come_v in_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o swallow_v up_o all_o the_o lord_n intent_n be_v that_o he_o himself_o and_o all_o his_o company_n shall_v be_v break_v to_o piece_n thus_o joseph_n brethren_n think_v evil_a against_o he_o but_o god_n mean_v good_a to_o he_o thus_o pharaoh_n intend_v the_o extirpation_n of_o israel_n by_o that_o which_o god_n intend_v their_o propagation_n 13._o thus_o haman_n intend_v the_o ruin_n of_o mordecai_n and_o all_o the_o jew_n when_o god_n intend_v light_a and_o gladness_n and_o a_o good_a day_n to_o they_o thus_o the_o nation_n micah_n 4._o intend_v to_o tread_v down_o zion_n when_o god_n intend_v they_o themselves_o shall_v be_v thresh_v out_o and_o a_o hundred_o example_n more_o may_v be_v give_v but_o i_o can_v only_o point_v at_o these_o thing_n three_o that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v very_o frequent_o let_v the_o design_n 3._o of_o the_o adversary_n of_o his_o church_n go_v on_o with_o a_o great_a end_n deal_n of_o success_n and_o prosperity_n until_o they_o think_v themselves_o cocksure_a of_o the_o whole_a business_n this_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o text_n here_o they_o come_v with_o such_o a_o mighty_a army_n that_o they_o make_v no_o question_n of_o carry_v all_o before_o they_o make_v account_v all_o be_v their_o own_o thus_o pharaoh_n go_v 9_o on_o till_o he_o be_v confident_a his_o wrath_n shall_v be_v satisfy_v upon_o they_o exod._n 15._o so_o haman_n have_v get_v his_o decree_n sign_v by_o the_o king_n letter_n which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o persia_n be_v irrevocable_a thus_o be_v peter_n keep_v in_o prison_n until_o the_o very_a 7._o night_n before_o he_o shall_v be_v execute_v and_o so_o in_o abundance_n of_o other_o design_n against_o the_o church_n you_o may_v see_v the_o like_a though_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o sometime_o the_o lord_n crush_v they_o in_o the_o egg_n and_o will_v not_o let_v they_o break_v out_o into_o serpent_n yet_o very_o often_o as_o we_o say_v in_o the_o gunpowder-treason_n there_o want_v nothing_o but_o to_o put_v the_o match_n to_o the_o powder_n and_o the_o blow_n have_v be_v give_v so_o god_n let_v the_o plot_n and_o contrivement_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o his_o church_n go_v on_o until_o they_o make_v account_n that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o stop_v they_o or_o to_o prevent_v they_o so_o that_o if_o god_n people_n be_v deliver_v their_o soul_n must_v escape_v as_o a_o bird_n out_o of_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o fowler_n the_o next_o conclusion_n be_v that_o when_o the_o enemy_n make_v account_v all_o be_v sure_a that_o 4._o they_o question_v not_o but_o the_o day_n be_v their_o own_o than_o do_v etc._n the_o lord_n in_o some_o unexpected_a way_n dash_v all_o their_o plot_n bring_v they_o to_o nothing_o thus_o god_n defeat_v pharaoh_n exod._n 15._o thus_o be_v haman_n defeat_v thus_o be_v the_o conspiracy_n against_o paul_n defeat_v acts._n 26._o a_o hundred_o instance_n may_v be_v give_v but_o i_o shall_v only_o open_v one_o similitude_n which_o god_n use_v to_o set_v down_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o nineveh_n nahum_n 1._o 10._o nineveh_n be_v then_o the_o head_n of_o this_o assyrian_a empire_n and_o god_n express_v the_o ruin_n of_o nineveh_n thus_o when_o they_o be_v folden_a together_o like_o thorn_n and_o when_o they_o be_v drunken_a like_o drunkard_n then_o shall_v they_o be_v devour_v as_o stubble_n full_o dry_v that_o be_v when_o their_o plot_n be_v curious_o weave_v and_o set_v so_o that_o no_o man_n shall_v dare_v to_o touch_v they_o no_o more_o than_o he_o will_v touch_v a_o wreath_n of_o thorn_n they_o have_v so_o contrive_v the_o business_n that_o they_o will_v fain_o see_v the_o man_n that_o dare_v appear_v against_o they_o they_o be_v fold_v together_o as_o thorn_n and_o when_o they_o be_v drunken_a like_o drunkard_n that_o be_v they_o be_v drunken_a with_o pride_n and_o confidence_n of_o their_o success_n they_o can_v hardly_o speak_v or_o go_v they_o be_v so_o drunken_a with_o confidence_n when_o they_o be_v come_v thus_o to_o the_o top_n then_o shall_v they_o be_v devour_v like_o dry_a stubble_n some_o way_n or_o other_o fire_n will_v be_v put_v to_o the_o thatch_n of_o the_o house_n and_o set_v it_o burn_v and_o in_o a_o moment_n all_o be_v go_v off_o thus_o when_o the_o enemy_n be_v come_v in_o like_o a_o flood_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n lift_v up_o a_o standard_n against_o he_o thus_o god_n delight_v to_o take_v his_o time_n when_o 19_o they_o be_v at_o the_o high_a and_o fear_v the_o least_o than_o god_n break_v their_o design_n the_o last_o conclusion_n be_v that_o when_o god_n break_v their_o design_n he_o delight_v to_o 5._o break_v themselves_o not_o only_o to_o frustrate_v their_o design_n also_o but_o to_o ruin_v they_o too_o and_o deliver_v his_o people_n so_o it_o be_v here_o associate_n yourselves_o gather_v yourselves_o gird_v yourselves_o take_v counsel_n but_o still_o you_o shall_v be_v break_v to_o piece_n you_o shall_v be_v break_v to_o piece_n you_o shall_v be_v break_v to_o piece_n three_o time_n it_o be_v in_o one_o verse_n all_o break_n to_o piece_n ruin_n and_o destruction_n to_o they_o and_o
