lord_n and_o to_o inquire_v in_o his_o temple_n now_o love_n stir_v up_o the_o affection_n as_o young_a croesus_n though_o he_o be_v dumb_a yet_o see_v his_o father_n like_o to_o be_v kill_v cry_v out_o do_v not_o kill_v my_o father_n such_o be_v the_o love_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n to_o the_o ark_n that_o they_o can_v be_v silent_a they_o can_v but_o tremble_v when_o they_o see_v the_o ark_n in_o danger_n and_o for_o zion_n sake_n the_o can_v hold_v their_o peace_n and_o they_o can_v be_v silent_a until_o the_o lord_n make_v the_o righteous_a thereof_o go_v out_o like_a brightness_n and_o the_o salvation_n thereof_o as_o a_o lamp_n that_o burn_v 2._o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v trouble_v at_o this_o because_o of_o the_o interest_n they_o have_v in_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n now_o interest_n stir_v up_o affection_n as_o when_o another_o man_n house_n be_v on_o fire_n as_o you_o have_v a_o lamentable_a and_o sad_a providence_n this_o last_o week_n and_o it_o be_v not_o

when_o god_n begin_v to_o forsake_v they_o they_o can_v but_o be_v afflict_v and_o trouble_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v the_o jewel_n of_o a_o christian_a &_o the_o treasure_n of_o a_o

be_v much_o afflict_v at_o it_o 3._o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v much_o trouble_v when_o the_o ark_n be_v in_o danger_n because_o of_o the_o mischief_n that_o come_v upon_o a_o nation_n when_o

god_n be_v take_v than_o the_o way_n of_o zion_n mourn_v and_o none_o come_v to_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n it_o be_v the_o complaint_n of_o the_o church_n lam._n 1.4_o that_o be_v matter_n of_o sadness_n 2._o when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v take_v than_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n be_v drive_v into_o corner_n and_o this_o be_v matter_n of_o heart-trembling_a 3._o when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v take_v than_o the_o soul_n of_o many_o be_v in_o danger_n when_o the_o gospel_n be_v go_v your_o soul_n be_v in_o hazard_n there_o be_v cause_n of_o sadness_n 4._o then_o do_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n blaspheme_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v where_o be_v your_o god_n then_o do_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n triumph_n ps_n 42.10_o as_o with_o a_o sword_n in_o my_o bone_n my_o enemy_n reproach_v i_o while_o they_o say_v daily_o unto_o i_o where_o be_v thy_o god_n 5._o then_o be_v jesus_n christ_n trample_v under_o foot_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n defile_v and_o trample_v on_o and_o then_o blasphemy_n and_o atheism_n come_v in_o like_o a_o arm_a man_n 4._o the_o people_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o tremble_v when_o the_o ark_n be_v in_o danger_n because_o of_o their_o accessariness_n to_o the_o lose_n of_o the_o ark_n &_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v old_a eli_n so_o much_o trouble_v because_o he_o know_v it_o be_v for_o his_o sin_n that_o god_n suffer_v the_o ark_n to_o be_v take_v he_o know_v that_o his_o not_o punish_v his_o two_o son_n be_v one_o cause_n of_o that_o great_a slaughter_n the_o people_n of_o israel_n meet_v withal_o and_o that_o make_v he_o tremble_v there_o be_v no_o person_n here_o in_o this_o congregation_n but_o his_o heart_n will_v tell_v he_o he_o have_v contribute_v something_o towards_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o ark._n none_o of_o we_o so_o holy_a but_o our_o conscience_n must_v accuse_v we_o we_o have_v do_v something_o that_o may_v cause_v god_n to_o take_v the_o ark_n from_o we_o and_o therefore_o mr._n bradford_n that_o bless_a martyr_n say_v in_o his_o prayer_n lord_n it_o be_v for_o my_o unthankfulness_n for_o the_o gospel_n that_o bring_v in_o popery_n in_o queen_n mary_n be_v day_n and_o my_o

complain_v that_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n take_v away_o the_o gospel_n from_o england_n o_o belove_a it_o be_v for_o thy_o sin_n and_o my_o sin_n that_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v in_o danger_n and_o therefore_o the_o lod_n give_v we_o tremble_v solicitous_a heart_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o ark._n i_o come_v now_o to_o application_n use_v 1_o if_o this_o be_v the_o property_n of_o a_o true_a child_n of_o god_n to_o be_v solicitous_a when_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v in_o danger_n and_o to_o have_v such_o a_o tremble_a heart_n for_o fear_n of_o the_o ark_n than_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a sign_n there_o be_v but_o few_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o truth_n o_o where_o be_v the_o man_n and_o where_o be_v the_o woman_n that_o like_v old_a eli_n sit_v watch_v and_o tremble_v for_o fear_n of_o the_o ark_n and_o that_o will_v appear_v by_o these_o reason_n first_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o many_o sin_n in_o this_o nation_n for_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v not_o one_o sin_n for_o which_o god_n ever_o take_v away_o the_o ark_n from_o any_o people_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o england_n do_v the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n lose_v the_o candlestick_n because_o they_o have_v lose_v their_o first_o love_n and_o have_v not_o we_o lose_v our_o first_o love_n to_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o the_o ordinance_n and_o do_v the_o church_n of_o landicea_n lose_v the_o candlestick_n because_o of_o lukewarmness_n and_o be_v not_o we_o lukewarm_a do_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n as_o here_o in_o the_o text_n lose_v the_o ark_n because_o they_o abhor_v the_o offering_n of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o you_o do_v so_o be_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o israel_n among_o we_o the_o sin_n of_o germany_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o other_o nation_n about_o we_o and_o can_v any_o man_n here_o before_o god_n this_o day_n in_o this_o congregation_n that_o consider_v the_o great_a unthankfulness_n of_o this_o nation_n &_o the_o great_a profaneness_n &_o wickedness_n of_o this_o nation_n but_o they_o may_v conclude_v the_o ark_n be_v in_o danger_n &_o god_n may_v just_o take_v the_o ark_n from_o we_o i_o may_v tell_v you_o of_o the_o drunkenness_n adultery_n covetousness_n injustice_n and_o uncharitableness_n etc._n etc._n that_o do_v abound_v among_o we_o and_o i_o may_v tell_v you_o of_o sanctuary_n sin_n profanation_n of_o sabbath_n and_o sacrament_n our_o unthankfulness_n and_o unfruitfulness_n and_o unworthy_a walk_v under_o the_o gospel_n and_o you_o of_o this_o place_n god_n may_v very_o well_o take_v the_o ark_n even_o from_o you_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o great_a interest_n i_o have_v in_o you_o the_o which_o while_n i_o live_v i_o shall_v ever_o own_o and_o that_o great_a affection_n and_o respect_n i_o have_v to_o you_o that_o i_o will_v not_o send_v you_o home_o this_o day_n without_o a_o sermon_n and_o let_v you_o go_v without_o a_o blessing_n now_o can_v any_o of_o you_o in_o this_o parish_n and_o this_o congregation_n can_v any_o of_o you_o say_v god_n may_v not_o just_o take_v the_o gospel_n from_o you_o second_o shall_v i_o add_v the_o discontent_n and_o division_n of_o a_o nation_n as_o christ_n say_v a_o nation_n divide_v against_o itself_o can_v stand_v but_o i_o leave_v these_o thing_n to_o your_o consideration_n i_o believe_v there_o be_v none_o here_o but_o will_v confess_v the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v lose_v but_o now_o where_o be_v our_o eli_n to_o sit_v watch_v and_o tremble_v for_o fear_n of_o the_o ark_n where_o be_v phinehas_n his_o wife_n that_o will_v not_o be_v comfort_v because_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n be_v take_v where_o be_v our_o moses_n our_o elijah_n

they_o not_o sink_v within_o we_o second_o i_o argue_v from_o the_o abundance_n of_o pray_v people_n that_o be_v in_o this_o nation_n there_o be_v many_o that_o night_n and_o day_n pray_v unto_o god_n that_o the_o ark_n may_v not_o be_v take_v and_o let_v i_o assure_v you_o god_n do_v never_o forsake_v a_o pray_v &_o reform_v people_n when_o god_n intend_v to_o destroy_v a_o nation_n and_o take_v away_o the_o ark_n he_o take_v away_o the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n but_o where_o god_n give_v the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n there_o god_n will_v continue_v the_o ark._n you_o all_o know_v that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o ten_o good_a man_n in_o those_o five_o city_n god_n will_v have_v spare_v they_o we_o have_v many_o hundred_o that_o fear_n god_n in_o this_o nation_n that_o do_v not_o give_v god_n rest_n but_o night_n and_o day_n pray_v unto_o god_n for_o this_o land_n and_o who_o know_v but_o for_o their_o sake_n god_n will_v spare_v the_o ark._n three_o another_o ground_n of_o comfort_n be_v this_o that_o god_n have_v hitherto_o deal_v with_o england_n not_o by_o way_n of_o rule_n but_o by_o way_n of_o prerogative_n we_o have_v have_v un-churching_a sin_n all_o the_o reign_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o of_o king_n james_n and_o the_o godly_a minister_n have_v be_v threaten_v ruin_n from_o year_n to_o year_n but_o god_n have_v hitherto_o save_v england_n by_o way_n of_o prerogative_n god_n have_v spare_v we_o because_o he_o will_v spare_v we_o according_a to_o that_o text_n i_o will_v be_v graci●us_a to_o who_o i_o will_v be_v gracious_a god_n will_v not_o be_v tie_v to_o his_o own_o rule_n and_o who_o know_v but_o god_n will_v deliver_v we_o four_o another_o ground_n of_o comfort_n be_v that_o god_n be_v now_o pour_v out_o his_o viol_n upon_o antichrist_n and_o all_o this_o shall_v end_v in_o the_o ruin_n of_o antichrist_n god_n be_v pour_v forth_o his_o viol_n upon_o the_o throne_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o all_o these_o transaction_n shall_v end_v in_o the_o ruin_n of_o antichrist_n though_o some_o drop_n of_o these_o viol_n may_v light_v upon_o the_o reform_a church_n and_o they_o may_v smart_v 〈◊〉_d a_o while_n and_o god_n may_v severe_o punish_v they_o yet_o it_o will_v be_v but_o for_o a_o little_a while_n but_o the_o viol_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o antichrist_n god_n may_v scourge_v all_o the_o reform_a church_n before_o these_o viol_n be_v pour_v out_o and_o persecution_n may_v go_v through_o they_o all_o the_o which_o i_o call_v drop_n of_o these_o viol_n but_o the_o viol_n be_v intend_v for_o antichrist_n and_o shall_v end_v in_o the_o time_n of_o antichrist_n and_o whatsoever_o become_v of_o we_o yet_o our_o child_n and_o our_o child_n child_n shall_v see_v the_o issue_n of_o the_o viol_n pour_v out_o upon_o the_o whore_n of_o babylon_n this_o i_o speak_v for_o your_o comfort_n five_o i_o be_o to_o exhort_v you_o that_o you_o will_v all_o of_o you_o contribute_v your_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o keep_v the_o ark_n of_o god_n from_o be_v take_v and_o here_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o 1._o what_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v do_v 2._o what_o the_o minister_n shall_v do_v 3._o what_o the_o people_n shall_v do_v first_o what_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v do_v i_o shall_v say_v but_o little_a of_o they_o because_o i_o be_o not_o now_o to_o speak_v to_o they_o they_o be_v to_o use_v their_o authority_n for_o the_o settle_n of_o the_o ark_n for_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o covenant_n will_v be_v like_o the_o ark_n of_o noah_n always_o float_v upon_o the_o water_n until_o the_o magistrate_n settle_v it_o thus_o david_n 2_o sam._n 6.12_o he_o gather_v together_o all_o the_o choose_a man_n of_o israel_n thirty_o thousand_o to_o fetch_v home_o the_o ark._n so_o solomon_n he_o assemble_v the_o elder_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o head_n of_o the_o tribe_n the_o noble_n &_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n to_o jerusalem_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o

solicitous_a to_o settle_v the_o ark_n magistrate_n must_v not_o be_v as_o the_o philistine_n they_o have_v the_o ark_n but_o what_o do_v they_o with_o it_o they_o set_v it_o up_o in_o the_o house_n of_o dagon_n but_o dagon_n and_o the_o ark_n can_v never_o agree_v where_o false_a religion_n come_v in_o at_o one_o door_n the_o true_a religion_n go_v out_o at_o the_o other_o you_o must_v not_o put_v the_o ark_n and_o dagon_n together_o second_o what_o must_v the_o minister_n do_v to_o keep_v the_o ark_n from_o lose_v they_o must_v endeavour_v after_o holiness_n the_o ark_n will_v never_o stand_v steady_a nor_o prosper_v upon_o the_o shoulder_n of_o h●phni_n &_o phinehas_n a_o wicked_a profane_a drunken_a ministry_n will_v never_o settle_v the_o ark_n it_o must_v be_v the_o sober_a pious_a godly_a minister_n that_o must_v do_v it_o how_o holy_a must_v they_o he_o that_o draw_v nigh_o to_o the_o god_n of_o holiness_n three_o what_o must_v the_o people_n of_o god_n do_v that_o the_o ark_n may_v not_o be_v lose_v there_o be_v five_o thing_n i_o shall_v comemnd_v unto_o you_o &_o then_o commend_v you_o to_o god_n 1._o you_o must_v not_o idolise_v the_o ark._n 2._o you_o must_v not_o undervalue_v the_o ark._n 3._o you_o must_v not_o pry_v into_o the_o ark._n 4._o you_o must_v not_o meddle_v with_o the_o ark_n without_o a_o lawful_a call_n 5._o you_o must_v keep_v the_o covenant_n of_o the_o ark._n first_o you_o must_v not_o idolise_v the_o ark_n that_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n in_o the_o text_n they_o think_v the_o very_a presence_n of_o the_o ark_n will_v excuse_v they_o and_o keep_v they_o safe_a and_o therefore_o they_o carry_v the_o ark_n into_o the_o camp_n though_o they_o reform_v not_o and_o repent_v not_o yet_o they_o think_v the_o ark_n will_v save_v they_o so_o many_o there_o be_v that_o think_v the_o ark_n will_v save_v they_o though_o never_o so_o wicked_a but_o nothing_o will_v secure_v a_o nation_n but_o repentance_n &_o reformation_n second_o do_v not_o undervalue_v the_o ark_n this_o be_v michal_n sin_n 2_o sam._n 6.14_o 15_o 16._o when_o david_n dance_v before_o the_o ark_n and_o michal_n mock_v he_o and_o despise_v he_o in_o her_o heart_n but_o say_v he_o it_o be_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o this_o be_v vile_a i_o will_v he_o more_o vile_a some_o man_n begin_v to_o say_v what_o need_v we_o any_o

we_o say_v as_o david_n if_o to_o preach_v the_o word_n if_o to_o fast_o and_o pray_v for_o the_o nation_n if_o this_o be_v vile_a than_o i_o will_v be_v more_o vile_a three_o we_o must_v not_o pry_v

that_o do_v now_o for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o their_o ministry_n yield_v a_o conformity_n to_o all_o that_o be_v enjoin_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o many_o of_o they_o be_v grieve_v that_o they_o can_v have_v the_o exercise_n of_o their_o ministry_n without_o this_o and_o we_o who_o can_v come_v up_o to_o this_o be_v grieve_v that_o we_o can_v come_v up_o to_o it_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o have_v grief_n enough_o add_v not_o your_o censure_n to_o this_o grief_n that_o be_v already_o upon_o they_o it_o have_v be_v all_o along_o a_o merciful_a providence_n of_o god_n that_o when_o some_o of_o his_o servant_n can_v not_o satisfy_v their_o conscience_n and_o come_v up_o to_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v impose_v upon_o they_o without_o injure_v their_o conscience_n yet_o other_o

let_v we_o amend_v the_o evil_n of_o our_o life_n let_v we_o every_o one_o be_v diligent_a in_o prayer_n and_o attend_v with_o reverence_n on_o the_o read_n and_o hear_v of_o god_n holy_a word_n let_v we_o reprove_v the_o work_n of_o darkness_n let_v we_o fly_v from_o idolatry_n and_o which_o be_v the_o particular_a i_o will_v indeed_o commend_v unto_o you_o obey_v the_o magistrate_n and_o they_o that_o be_v set_v over_o we_o in_o the_o lord_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o against_o the_o word_n and_o when_o they_o command_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o word_n let_v we_o answer_v it_o be_v meet_v to_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n however_o say_v he_o resist_v not_o the_o magistrate_n nor_o seek_v to_o avenge_v yourselves_o but_o commit_v your_o case_n to_o god_n be_v patient_a and_o submit_v to_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n over_o you_o but_o resist_v not_o rise_v not_o against_o authority_n but_o wait_v on_o god_n till_o he_o please_v to_o cause_v the_o light_n to_o rise_v and_o shine_v again_o upon_o you_o this_o be_v my_o four_o advice_n 5._o now_o it_o please_v god_n that_o hear_v opportunity_n at_o least_o some_o of_o they_o be_v take_v from_o some_o of_o we_o from_o many_o of_o we_o for_o a_o time_n my_o advice_n and_o counsel_n be_v that_o the_o less_o now_o you_o hear_v the_o more_o you_o will_v read_v read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n much_o the_o more_o and_o take_v all_o help_n for_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o what_o you_o read_v the_o book_n of_o annotation_n be_v a_o great_a help_n to_o enlighten_v you_o to_o

will_v be_v a_o great_a mean_n to_o edify_v and_o build_v you_o up_o this_o read_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o other_o good_a book_n be_v my_o five_o advice_n to_o you_o 6._o my_o fixth_n advice_n to_o you_o be_v that_o see_v god_n have_v take_v away_o your_o weekday_n opportunity_n of_o hear_v the_o word_n here_o and_o in_o other_o place_n you_o will_v be_v careful_a that_o the_o world_n may_v

have_v do_v will_v you_o take_v more_o care_n of_o your_o family_n will_v you_o give_v they_o a_o example_n of_o a_o holy_a heavenly_a life_n five_o have_v you_o repent_v of_o your_o sin_n as_o you_o say_v you_o have_v then_o how_o much_o be_v you_o trouble_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o do_v your_o heart_n mourn_v in_o secret_a for_o the_o wickedness_n and_o the_o abomination_n of_o the_o

do_v not_o send_v his_o judgement_n upon_o you_o and_o if_o you_o repent_v not_o doubtless_o god_n will_v bring_v some_o plague_n upon_o england_n ere_o it_o be_v long_o consider_v this_o o_o england_n and_o do_v not_o provoke_v god_n to_o depart_v from_o you_o for_o if_o you_o repent_v of_o your_o sin_n you_o may_v expect_v to_o live_v quiet_o in_o the_o land_n of_o your_o nativity_n and_o go_v to_o your_o death_n bed_n in_o peace_n and_o rest_n but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o repent_v of_o your_o sin_n then_o i_o say_v expect_v nothing_o but_o curse_n instead_o of_o blessing_n from_o god_n if_o you_o will_v repent_v do_v it_o to_o day_n god_n know_v how_o long_o it_o may_v be_v before_o you_o have_v such_o another_o day_n but_o i_o have_v one_o word_n to_o you_o this_o
