save_v good_a for_o motive_n 1._o let_v we_o consider_v the_o awfulness_n of_o the_o judgement_n itself_o this_o be_v none_o of_o those_o ordinary_a dispensation_n of_o god_n providence_n which_o be_v frequent_a and_o usual_a in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v sure_a not_o among_o we_o it_o be_v no_o common_a sickness_n and_o calamity_n and_o yet_o if_o it_o have_v be_v no_o more_o it_o have_v be_v our_o duty_n to_o have_v wise_o consider_v it_o and_o give_v attention_n to_o the_o voice_n of_o it_o but_o it_o be_v extraordinary_a and_o stupendous_a it_o be_v not_o usual_a for_o god_n to_o give_v satan_n such_o liberty_n and_o power_n so_o to_o rack_n and_o torture_n so_o to_o hurry_v and_o perplex_v poor_a creature_n and_o therefore_o something_o be_v in_o special_a to_o be_v learn_v by_o we_o when_o god_n thus_o leave_v the_o common_a tract_n and_o come_v in_o so_o unwonted_a a_o way_n of_o judgement_n 2._o consider_v how_o near_o we_o be_v relate_v unto_o it_o above_o other_o in_o the_o land_n there_o be_v a_o voice_n in_o it_o to_o the_o whole_a land_n but_o in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n to_o poor_a 〈◊〉_d it_o be_v not_o a_o judgement_n afar_o off_o but_o it_o be_v near_o we_o yea_o among_o we_o god_n have_v in_o his_o wisdom_n single_v out_o this_o poor_a town_n out_o of_o all_o other_o in_o this_o wilderness_n to_o dispense_v such_o a_o amaze_a providence_n in_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o make_v a_o more_o near_o and_o special_a use_n of_o it_o let_v we_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o to_o be_v set_v up_o as_o a_o 〈◊〉_d upon_o a_o hill_n by_o this_o providence_n and_o let_v those_o that_o hear_v what_o have_v be_v do_v among_o we_o hear_v also_o of_o the_o good_a effect_n and_o reformation_n it_o have_v wrought_v among_o we_o 3._o consider_v what_o advantage_n we_o have_v above_o other_o to_o be_v affect_v with_o it_o other_o indeed_o may_v hear_v of_o it_o relation_n may_v be_v carry_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o and_o that_o may_v affect_v yet_o not_o so_o much_o as_o when_o it_o be_v see_v why_o we_o may_v say_v as_o job_n i_o have_v hear_v of_o thou_o with_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n but_o now_o my_o eye_n see_v thou_o report_n may_v be_v carry_v various_a and_o that_o may_v wound_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o credit_n of_o it_o abroad_o in_o the_o world_n as_o not_o know_v how_o or_o where_o to_o fasten_v their_o belief_n however_o when_o never_o so_o true_o report_v it_o can_v carry_v the_o life_n of_o the_o thing_n with_o it_o but_o we_o have_v see_v yea_o see_v such_o thing_n as_o one_o will_v think_v may_v melt_v or_o break_v a_o heart_n of_o stone_n we_o may_v carry_v about_o with_o we_o every_o day_n the_o very_a pourtraicture_n of_o those_o hellish_a and_o diabolical_a cruelty_n those_o strange_a gesture_n those_o dreadful_a voice_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o be_v not_o awe_v and_o affect_v by_o it_o who_o shall_v 4._o consider_v how_o say_v it_o will_v be_v for_o we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o awe_v and_o affect_v with_o this_o judgement_n if_o we_o learn_v nothing_o by_o it_o oh_o how_o much_o will_v god_n have_v against_o we_o above_o other_o the_o near_o he_o have_v come_v to_o we_o and_o the_o more_o we_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o and_o the_o loud_a the_o cry_n have_v be_v to_o we_o will_v all_o have_v their_o particular_a weight_n to_o increase_v our_o condemnation_n god_n will_v lay_v every_o circumstance_n to_o our_o charge_n and_o as_o he_o have_v singular_o reveal_v his_o mind_n to_o we_o in_o it_o so_o he_o will_v have_v a_o singular_a provocation_n by_o it_o oh_o little_a do_v we_o know_v how_o much_o this_o providence_n slight_v and_o misimprove_v will_v add_v to_o the_o weight_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o increase_v of_o our_o woe_n let_v it_o then_o be_v a_o solemn_a lesson_n to_o teach_v we_o righteousness_n for_o direction_n first_o let_v we_o all_o in_o general_n learn_v something_o by_o it_o let_v it_o afford_v we_o some_o practical_a conclusion_n which_o may_v be_v for_o our_o use_n and_o benefit_n to_o instruct_v and_o teach_v we_o in_o way_n of_o righteousness_n namely_o 1._o learn_v by_o it_o that_o satan_n be_v busy_a in_o place_n of_o gospel_n light_n to_o seduce_v and_o draw_v away_o soul_n from_o attend_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o clear_a and_o free_a place_n from_o satan_n or_o his_o bold_a temptation_n these_o infernal_a spirit_n of_o darkness_n will_v come_v thither_o and_o there_o endeavour_v to_o raise_v mist_n and_o fog_n to_o seduce_v soul_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o live_v secure_o under_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o grace_n but_o to_o spend_v our_o time_n of_o sojourn_v her●_n in_o holy_a fear_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v no_o place_n free_a no_o not_o the_o house_n of_o god_n from_o satan_n temptation_n when_o thou_o be_v in_o god_n house_n and_o thy_o bodily_a presence_n to_o attend_v the_o ordinance_n the_o dispense_n of_o the_o gospel_n satan_n will_v come_v thither_o as_o he_o often_o do_v to_o this_o poor_a creature_n he_o will_v do_v all_o he_o can_v to_o steal_v away_o thy_o mind_n and_o meditation_n he_o will_v begin_v a_o parley_n with_o thou_o that_o shall_v last_v as_o long_o as_o the_o sermon_n and_o thou_o shall_v go_v away_o without_o receive_v one_o word_n of_o instruction_n oh_o how_o can_v he_o please_v thy_o fancy_n and_o delude_v thy_o soul_n and_o therefore_o let_v it_o awaken_v thou_o to_o be_v careful_a to_o keep_v thy_o foot_n when_o thou_o come_v to_o the_o house_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o will_v not_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o fool_n eccles_n 5._o 1._o the_o foot_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o affection_n learn_v to_o be_v more_o watchful_a over_o they_o to_o keep_v they_o from_o wander_v lest_o satan_n meet_v and_o make_v a_o prey_n of_o they_o and_o so_o st●al_a away_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o word_n from_o thou_o 3._o that_o discontent_n lay_v we_o exceed_o open_a to_o the_o assault_n of_o satan_n and_o give_v he_o more_o than_o ordinary_a advantage_n to_o make_v discovery_n of_o himself_o to_o we_o little_o do_v we_o know_v how_o we_o do_v as_o it_o be_v invite_v the_o devil_n by_o it_o in_o any_o government_n discontent_a person_n be_v fit_a for_o traitor_n to_o work_v upon_o by_o discontent_n we_o discover_v a_o weariness_n of_o god_n government_n and_o therefore_o satan_n be_v embolden_v by_o it_o to_o come_v yea_o to_o make_v his_o apparition_n and_o strike_v in_o to_o the_o draw_v over_o of_o poor_a creature_n to_o enter_v a_o covenant_n of_o rebellion_n with_o he_o and_o a_o wonder_v it_o be_v if_o any_o at_o such_o a_o time_n escape_v learn_v we_o therefore_o to_o be_v more_o watchful_a over_o our_o own_o heart_n beware_v how_o we_o give_v any_o way_n to_o secret_a uprising_n against_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n 4._o that_o this_o world_n will_v be_v a_o sad_a place_n to_o live_v in_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o god_n overrule_a providence_n oh_o how_o busy_a be_v the_o devil_n that_o great_a adversary_n of_o soul_n and_o how_o full_a be_v he_o of_o cruelty_n do_v not_o god_n restrain_v his_o rage_n he_o will_v soon_o make_v poor_a mortal_n incapable_a of_o live_v here_o below_o by_o the_o claw_n you_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o lion_n we_o find_v in_o job_n case_n he_o go_v to_o the_o outside_n of_o his_o commission_n and_o here_o you_o have_v a_o lively_a spectacle_n of_o his_o venom_n and_o spite_n oh_o then_o let_v it_o awaken_v we_o to_o see_v by_o who_o we_o be_v every_o day_n preserve_v and_o protect_v from_o the_o rage_n of_o devil_n god_n only_o alas_o what_o be_v we_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o these_o infernal_a power_n if_o god_n omnipotency_n do_v not_o restrain_v they_o let_v this_o make_v god_n more_o glorious_a in_o our_o eye_n 5._o that_o there_o be_v no_o safety_n but_o under_o the_o wing_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o only_o be_v the_o strong_a man_n that_o can_v secure_v we_o from_o the_o possession_n of_o satan_n satan_n rule_v and_o reign_v in_o this_o world_n and_o you_o see_v how_o much_o power_n he_o hold_v over_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n and_o therefore_o learn_v hence_o both_o to_o bless_v god_n for_o christ_n jesus_n who_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n have_v he_o not_o come_v to_o set_v up_o his_o kingdom_n in_o this_o world_n the_o devil_n will_v have_v reign_v lord_n and_o king_n in_o all_o soul_n he_o only_o be_v able_a to_o dispossess_v the_o strength_n and_o uncastle_n the_o power_n of_o hell_n as_o also_o to_o fly_v under_o the_o wing_n of_o this_o redeemer_n for_o safeguard_n that_o we_o may_v be_v free_v from_o these_o

cruel_a enemy_n 6._o that_o visible_a privilege_n be_v no_o security_n from_o satan_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o be_v baptize_v with_o water_n un●●●s_v we_o be_v also_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n if_o we_o be_v not_o also_o of_o christ_n invisible_a flock_n satan_n be_v not_o te●●ified_v by_o these_o outward_a thing_n he_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o assault_v those_o that_o be_v christ_n nominal_o and_o to_o endeavour_v to_o make_v they_o his_o own_o real_o let_v it_o teach_v we_o then_o to_o beware_v that_o we_o trust_v not_o in_o lie_v word_n have_v a_o care_n of_o cry_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n satan_n desire_v no_o better_a advantage_n upon_o we_o then_o to_o draw_v we_o to_o rest_v secure_a upon_o this_o bottom_n bless_v god_n for_o our_o privilege_n but_o rest_v not_o in_o they_o prize_v but_o do_v not_o deify_v they_o if_o you_o will_v not_o be_v make_v the_o prey_n of_o satan_n 2_o let_v we_o all_o in_o particular_a learn_v righteousness_n by_o this_o monument_n that_o be_v before_o we_o let_v it_o awaken_v we_o all_o to_o reform_v our_o heart_n and_o life_n to_o be_v more_o careful_a to_o and_o over_o ourselves_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v let_v it_o indeed_o appear_v that_o we_o have_v be_v proficient_o in_o this_o school_n of_o god_n judgement_n that_o god_n have_v bring_v correction_n and_o teach_v together_o that_o so_o in_o the_o wind_a up_o it_o may_v be_v find_v a_o happy_a judgement_n let_v we_o therefore_o apply_v it_o to_o ourselves_o in_o our_o particular_a respect_n i._o let_v it_o be_v a_o doctrinal_a providence_n to_o young_a and_o old_a first_o to_o you_o that_o be_v elder_a and_o more_o grow_v up_o in_o year_n let_v it_o awaken_v you_o 1._o consider_v how_o many_o more_o provocation_n god_n have_v have_v from_o you_o than_o he_o have_v have_v from_o this_o poor_a creature_n how_o many_o more_o ordinance_n and_o providence_n have_v attend_v upon_o you_o than_o ever_o do_v upon_o she_o think_v how_o long_o you_o have_v live_v in_o god_n world_n and_o yet_o have_v do_v he_o little_a or_o no_o service_n since_o you_o come_v into_o it_o and_o therefore_o let_v this_o awaken_v you_o to_o see_v how_o it_o stand_v with_o you_o how_o the_o matter_n go_v between_o god_n and_o your_o soul_n whether_o you_o be_v secure_a under_o his_o wing_n and_o at_o peace_n with_o he_o when_o you_o see_v one_o so_o much_o young_a than_o you_o thus_o visit_v oh_o think_v upon_o what_o ground_n you_o

sure_a consider_v how_o much_o danger_n you_o be_v in_o 2._o let_v it_o teach_v you_o how_o much_o you_o have_v have_v of_o the_o patience_n of_o god_n exercise_v towards_o you_o that_o god_n have_v bear_v with_o and_o forbear_v you_o so_o long_o you_o have_v live_v a_o great_a while_n long_o in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o may_v be_v have_v be_v more_o enormous_a and_o flagitious_a in_o your_o

have_v take_v she_o and_o not_o take_v you_o you_o may_v see_v and_o say_v that_o if_o god_n have_v go_v according_a to_o outward_a appearance_n or_o extremity_n of_o rigour_n there_o have_v be_v transcendent_o more_o ground_n why_o he_o shall_v have_v come_v upon_o you_o oh_o then_o when_o you_o see_v one_o so_o young_a and_o one_o not_o observe_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o flagitious_a

you_o stand_v and_o have_v stand_v all_o this_o while_n and_o if_o god_n have_v be_v severe_a towards_o you_o you_o have_v not_o have_v this_o opportunity_n of_o be_v call_v to_o repentance_n and_o then_o learn_v to_o shake_v off_o all_o delay_n to_o put_v by_o all_o excuse_n and_o bless_v god_n that_o you_o yet_o have_v a_o opportunity_n second_o you_o that_o be_v young_a one_o behold_v here_o
