from_o among_o man_n be_v it_o not_o that_o i_o fear_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o enemy_n lest_o their_o adversary_n shall_v behave_v themselves_o strange_o and_o lest_o they_o shall_v say_v their_o hand_n be_v high_a and_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o do_v all_o this_o that_o be_v be_v it_o not_o that_o i_o know_v they_o will_v take_v advantage_n from_o the_o destruction_n of_o my_o people_n to_o bepride_n themselves_o the_o more_o in_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o not_o look_v on_o themselves_o as_o the_o rod_n of_o my_o anger_n or_o executioner_n of_o my_o vengeance_n and_o so_o their_o destruction_n will_v lose_v the_o force_n of_o a_o example_n for_o the_o deter_v of_o the_o heathen_a from_o their_o wicked_a practice_n be_v it_o not_o that_o i_o fear_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o enemy_n this_o be_v one_o of_o those_o many_o example_n we_o find_v in_o scripture_n of_o god_n speak_v to_o man_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o men._n 4._o we_o shall_v find_v another_o like_o this_o ezek._n 20._o 14._o where_o god_n say_v i_o say_v i_o will_v pour_v out_o my_o fury_n upon_o they_o in_o the_o wilderness_n to_o consume_v they_o but_o i_o wrought_v for_o my_o name_n be_v sake_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v pollute_v among_o the_o heathen_a in_o who_o sight_n i_o bring_v they_o forth_o that_o be_v that_o the_o egyptian_n may_v not_o say_v that_o for_o mischief_n he_o bring_v they_o out_o to_o slay_v they_o in_o the_o mountain_n and_o to_o consume_v they_o from_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v the_o motive_n use_v by_o moses_n to_o prevail_v with_o god_n to_o turn_v from_o his_o fierce_a wrath_n and_o to_o repent_v of_o this_o evil_a against_o his_o people_n exod_n 32._o 12._o but_o what_o can_v the_o great_a god_n suffer_v by_o the_o enemy_n take_v occasion_n from_o their_o destroy_v his_o people_n to_o bepride_n themselves_o the_o more_o in_o their_o own_o strength_n since_o as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v in_o the_o thing_n wherein_o they_o deal_v most_o proud_o he_o be_v above_o they_o and_o what_o damage_n can_v accrue_v to_o the_o divine_a majesty_n from_o their_o reproach_n yet_o you_o see_v such_o motive_n as_o these_o do_v stay_v god_n hand_n see_v he_o have_v no_o better_a from_o their_o destruction_n who_o have_v do_v all_o that_o lay_v in_o they_o to_o draw_v down_o his_o vengeance_n and_o i_o say_v again_o that_o such_o motive_n as_o these_o four_o do_v plain_o show_v that_o he_o be_v natural_o extreme_o averse_a to_o the_o give_v of_o sinner_n their_o due_a desert_n and_o that_o when_o he_o do_v so_o it_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o necessity_n rather_o than_o of_o free_a choice_n six_o god_n infinite_a goodness_n and_o his_o infinite_a greatness_n too_o do_v absolute_o assure_v we_o of_o this_o for_o take_v pleasure_n in_o destruction_n or_o misery_n as_o such_o be_v perfect_o inconsistent_a with_o goodness_n and_o much_o more_o with_o infinite_a goodness_n but_o to_o destroy_v or_o make_v

very_a sorry_a notion_n of_o almighty_a god_n who_o need_v to_o be_v satisfy_v that_o he_o have_v innumerable_a other_o way_n of_o procure_v his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o need_v to_o do_v it_o by_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n destruction_n or_o misery_n be_v he_o capable_a of_o delight_v himself_o therein_o last_o the_o many_o express_a declaration_n which_o god_n have_v make_v concern_v this_o matter_n do_v make_v we_o not_o to_o need_v any_o consequence_n for_o a_o proof_n hereof_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o he_o have_v profess_v that_o he_o do_v not_o affect_v willing_o nor_o grieve_v the_o child_n of_o men._n and_o since_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o god_n to_o lie_v this_o one_o text_n ought_v to_o weigh_v down_o a_o thousand_o objection_n can_v the_o wit_n of_o man_n invent_v so_o many_o against_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n and_o again_o from_o a_o great_a concern_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o admit_v the_o least_o doubt_n of_o it_o he_o have_v so_o wonderful_o condescend_v as_o to_o back_o such_o declaration_n with_o a_o solemn_a oath_n as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o

far_o find_v he_o express_v a_o very_a ardent_a wish_n that_o his_o people_n will_v cease_v to_o give_v he_o provocation_n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o he_o may_v be_v under_o no_o

of_o what_o have_v be_v discourse_v on_o these_o word_n first_o we_o learn_v from_o thence_o what_o strange_a folly_n or_o rather_o desperate_a madness_n do_v lodge_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o sinful_a
