A55028	The necessity and encouragement, of utmost venturing for the churches help together with the sin, folly, and mischief of self-idolizing applyed by a representation of 1. some of the most notorious nationall sins endangering us, 2. the heavy weight of wrath manifested in our present calamities, yet withall, grounds of 3. confidence, that our church shall obtain deliverance in the issue, 4. hopes that the present Parliament shall be still imployed in the working of it : all set forth in a sermon, preached to the honorable House of Commons, on the day of the monethly solemn fast, 28. June, 1643 / by Herbert Palmer ...	Palmer, Herbert, 1601-1647.	1643 (1643)	Wing P243; ESTC R21704	67,757	76

virtual_a promise_n to_o england_n 3_o express_v 3._o but_o i_o take_v it_o for_o a_o much_o strong_a ground_n and_o more_o undoubted_a that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o story_n and_o in_o the_o threaten_n together_o have_v a_o epitome_n of_o all_o that_o god_n will_v do_v to_o his_o church_n plant_v in_o my_o nation_n and_o that_o god_n will_v never_o deal_v more_o severe_o with_o any_o national_a church_n than_o his_o word_n which_o be_v every_o way_n most_o perfect_a relate_v or_o threaten_v therefore_o if_o it_o can_v be_v find_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n do_v ever_o bring_v destruction_n upon_o his_o church_n plant_v in_o a_o nation_n or_o transplant_v his_o church_n whole_o out_o of_o such_o a_o land_n while_o they_o be_v in_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o we_o be_v than_o will_v he_o not_o do_v it_o now_o but_o contrary_o if_o he_o have_v always_o in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o we_o be_v now_o afford_v his_o church_n deliverance_n this_o i_o believe_v to_o be_v a_o very_a strong_a promise_n that_o he_o will_v afford_v we_o the_o like_a now_o logician_n say_v that_o even_o one_o example_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o no_o instance_n to_o the_o contrary_a be_v a_o sufficient_a argument_n and_o if_o it_o hold_v not_o in_o scripture_n example_n when_o none_o of_o a_o divers_a kind_n can_v be_v produce_v i_o know_v not_o what_o use_n can_v be_v make_v of_o the_o great_a example_n of_o mercy_n as_o mere_a example_n which_o yet_o be_v all_o write_v for_o our_o learning_n as_o all_o scripture_n be_v that_o we_o through_o patience_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v have_v hope_n rom._n 15._o 4._o 4_o transplant_v 4._o in_o special_a if_o god_n do_v never_o destroy_v a_o reform_a nation_n never_o whole_o transplant_v a_o reform_a church_n then_o will_v he_o not_o do_v so_o to_o we_o because_o we_o be_v such_o and_o for_o this_o there_o be_v special_a reason_n whether_o we_o consider_v the_o reformation_n to_o be_v the_o special_a work_n of_o god_n and_o little_a of_o the_o nation_n in_o it_o as_o in_o josiah_n time_n god_n wrought_v it_o by_o a_o special_a work_n upon_o the_o king_n who_o see_v all_o do_v himself_o and_o the_o people_n show_v little_a concurrence_n in_o it_o yet_o god_n will_v and_o do_v carry_v it_o through_o because_o he_o that_o love_v the_o people_n so_o well_o church_n be_v yet_o corrupt_v as_o to_o begin_v to_o reform_v they_o in_o a_o manner_n himself_o when_o he_o have_v begin_v it_o once_o will_v make_v somewhat_o of_o it_o and_o not_o let_v it_o altogether_o come_v to_o nothing_o of_o whether_o god_n though_o he_o ever_o be_v the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o all_o good_a yet_o act_v the_o reformation_n much_o by_o the_o people_n hand_n as_o it_o be_v in_o hezekiah_n reformation_n 2_o chron._n 30._o 1._o here_o again_o the_o same_o reason_n hold_v he_o who_o love_v the_o nation_n so_o well_o as_o to_o put_v such_o a_o beginning_n of_o grace_n into_o they_o will_v not_o let_v that_o fail_v sudden_o but_o he_o make_v the_o work_n prosper_v in_o their_o hand_n apply_v and_o no_o enemy_n hinder_v they_o and_o now_o to_o apply_v this_o to_o ourselves_o 1_o reformation_n if_o ever_o a_o nation_n or_o church_n in_o affliction_n and_o danger_n be_v a_o reform_a church_n and_o nation_n we_o be_v such_o and_o that_o in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o reformation_n

he_o will_v not_o now_o at_o this_o time_n give_v they_o whole_o over_o to_o enemy_n to_o ruin_v all_o utter_o 4_o special_o 4._o the_o rather_o because_o the_o enmity_n of_o the_o enemy_n be_v
