not_o to_o addict_v yourselves_o to_o the_o sin_n of_o those_o person_n who_o you_o fight_v against_o how_o absurd_a and_o unaccountable_a be_v it_o think_v you_o that_o when_o we_o have_v proclaim_v

their_o vice_n we_o treat_v they_o as_o loathe_a enemy_n and_o yet_o be_v in_o love_n with_o their_o folly_n and_o dote_v upon_o their_o vanity_n and_o excess_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o we_o must_v take_v another_o course_n before_o we_o can_v look_v for_o success_n and_o victory_n if_o we_o will_v have_v this_o declare_v itself_o on_o our_o side_n and_o even_o fling_v itself_o into_o our_o arm_n we_o must_v make_v sure_a of_o the_o conquest_n over_o the_o disorder_n and_o vice_n of_o those_o we_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o brief_o we_o must_v examine_v our_o life_n and_o manner_n and_o whatever_o we_o discern_v to_o be_v amiss_o in_o we_o must_v be_v forsake_v we_o must_v first_o vanquish_v all_o our_o lust_n and_o then_o we_o may_v with_o some_o confidence_n engage_v the_o adversary_n we_o may_v hope_v for_o success_n against_o our_o bodily_a enemy_n when_o we_o have_v subdue_v our_o spiritual_a one_o what_o you_o read_v of_o jonas_n may_v be_v a_o good_a emblem_n to_o we_o in_o this_o present_a affair_n he_o be_v in_o rebellion_n against_o god_n and_o be_v become_v a_o great_a sinner_n in_o his_o sight_n and_o for_o his_o sake_n as_o himself_o say_v a_o great_a

and_o cast_v he_o forth_o into_o the_o sea_n then_o the_o sea_n cease_v from_o her_o rage_a it_o be_v sin_n that_o raise_v the_o tempest_n of_o war_n among_o we_o they_o be_v sinner_n especial_o such_o as_o lie_v fast_o asleep_a as_o jonas_n do_v that_o endanger_v the_o common_a vessel_n wherein_o we_o be_v embark_a we_o shall_v all_o sink_v and_o be_v cast_v away_o unless_o the_o

on_o this_o occasion_n be_v record_v let_v god_n arise_v and_o let_v his_o enemy_n be_v scatter_v be_v the_o usual_a form_n of_o prayer_n or_o collect_v which_o the_o israelite_n use_v in_o their_o

in_o a_o special_a manner_n when_o they_o go_v forth_o to_o battle_n thus_o it_o be_v particular_o record_v of_o cyrus_n that_o 6._o he_o very_o earnest_o implore_v their_o help_n in_o his_o war_n
