hearer_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v these_o because_o in_o that_o time_n the_o lord_n show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n 1._o lamen_n 2._o 5_o 8._o and_o who_o be_v he_o that_o will_v not_o sorrow_n know_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v his_o enemy_n will_v he_o ever_o fall_v out_o so_o far_o with_o his_o own_o people_n as_o to_o suffer_v his_o own_o glory_n to_o be_v darken_v be_v it_o not_o because_o he_o have_v kindle_v his_o wrath_n against_o they_o even_o as_o a_o lord_n in_o this_o world_n take_v from_o his_o servant_n his_o office_n his_o cognisance_n and_o in_o the_o end_n turn_v he_o out_o of_o his_o door_n because_o he_o have_v displease_v he_o so_o deal_v the_o lord_n with_o we_o when_o he_o make_v man_n cold_a in_o his_o service_n and_o weary_a of_o his_o gospel_n o_o my_o belove_a now_o i_o fear_v be_v the_o lord_n a_o enemy_n unto_o we_o when_o he_o suffer_v such_o abuse_n and_o abuser_n of_o his_o goodness_n to_o live_v among_o us._n popery_n begin_v again_o to_o grow_v joyful_o out_o of_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o lord_n field_n atheism_n privy_o stretch_v his_o self_n as_o the_o juie_n do_v about_o the_o oak_n the_o ministry_n grow_v careless_a the_o people_n wax_v wanton_a the_o rich_a man_n be_v idle_a and_o the_o poor_a man_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o lord_n service_n be_v not_o these_o sufficient_a token_n that_o the_o lord_n begin_v to_o be_v a_o enemy_n unto_o england_n o_o mourn_v therefore_o as_o a_o virgin_n gird_v with_o sackcloth_n for_o the_o husband_n of_o her_o youth_n see_v we_o not_o how_o the_o world_n win_v upon_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o church_n if_o we_o have_v a_o unity_n then_o bring_v he_o in_o security_n if_o there_o be_v division_n then_o broach_v he_o many_o blasphemous_a heresy_n if_o we_o agree_v among_o ourselves_o he_o make_v the_o world_n to_o hate_v we_o if_o we_o please_v the_o world_n our_o own_o brethren_n suspect_v we_o if_o we_o have_v great_a gift_n then_o be_v we_o envy_v if_o we_o have_v but_o small_a gift_n then_o be_v we_o despise_v and_o thus_o with_o nothing_o be_v all_o man_n please_v &_o the_o lord_n business_n be_v still_o defer_v sure_o this_o will_v make_v the_o lord_n fall_v out_o with_o we_o &_o be_v our_o enemy_n for_o every_o one_o think_v that_o his_o own_o dislike_n be_v reason_n enough_o to_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o lord_n presence_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n let_v they_o before_o hand_n sorrow_n that_o his_o second_o come_n shall_v find_v no_o faith_n on_o the_o earth_n let_v we_o therefore_o cast_v down_o ourselves_o as_o the_o apostle_n wish_v we_o jam._n 4._o 9_o endure_v affliction_n 1_o and_o weep_v and_o sorrow_n let_v your_o laughter_n be_v turn_v into_o heaviness_n and_o your_o

to_o abolish_v the_o scripture_n to_o silence_v the_o preacher_n to_o distract_v the_o people_n and_o to_o root_v up_o again_o that_o foundation_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v build_v this_o let_v

we_o will_v set_v the_o fire_n of_o the_o lord_n word_n to_o burn_v it_o we_o can_v deface_v it_o yet_o we_o will_v lament_v it_o mourn_v o_o you_o elder_n that_o your_o posterity_n shall_v be_v thus_o endanger_v that_o in_o your_o day_n you_o have_v see_v the_o lord_n a_o friend_n and_o a_o enemy_n to_o we_o that_o you_o have_v suffer_v the_o decay_n of_o that_o which_o all_o the_o world_n

of_o your_o time_n cry_v out_o o_o child_n that_o you_o be_v depute_v to_o have_v but_o the_o reversion_n of_o the_o truth_n which_o your_o elder_n devour_v and_o leave_v you_o nothing_o but_o pay_v those_o debt_n which_o they_o owe_v for_o their_o iniquity_n the_o meat_n offer_v all_o the_o offering_n which_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o the_o old_a law_n do_v betoken_v christ_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v for_o we_o unto_o the_o which_o there_o be_v to_o be_v add_v as_o the_o lord_n command_v numb_a 15._o 4_o 5_o 6._o a_o meat_n offer_v of_o fine_a meal_n and_o oil_n and_o a_o drink_n offer_v of_o

house_n of_o god_n he_o mean_v by_o one_o part_n the_o whole_a worship_n of_o god_n to_o be_v intermit_v fron_n whence_o worship_n we_o may_v note_v this_o that_o god_n have_v so_o great_a regard_n to_o punish_v sin_n that_o rather_o than_o it_o shall_v escape_v scot_n free_a he_o will_v discontinue_v his_o own_o worship_n more_o plain_o man_n know_v that_o so_o long_o as_o they_o keep_v the_o

therefore_o the_o lord_n will_v take_v away_o his_o word_n his_o worship_n his_o truth_n from_o among_o they_o which_o be_v the_o charet_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o guard_n of_o the_o church_n that_o he_o may_v more_o free_o take_v vengeance_n of_o our_o sin_n thus_o may_v we_o read_v he_o deal_v with_o israel_n psal_n 78._o 60._o lam._n 2._o 16._o now_o consider_v i_o beseech_v you_o what_o refuge_n can_v we_o have_v against_o the_o lord_n or_o what_o shield_n to_o cover_v our_o sin_n why_o you_o will_v say_v the_o lord_n mercy_n but_o how_o if_o mercy_n have_v be_v offer_v and_o be_v refuse_v and_o so_o the_o date_n thereof_o for_o our_o good_a be_v expire_v yet_o you_o will_v say_v his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o but_o i_o may_v answer_v you_o that_o he_o so_o little_o regard_v mercy_n to_o man_n and_o service_n to_o himself_o at_o sometime_o that_o he_o take_v away_o all_o sign_n of_o his_o favour_n all_o token_n of_o his_o presence_n all_o comfort_n of_o his_o word_n and_o commodity_n by_o his_o worship_n and_o so_o let_v we_o fear_v in_o england_n lest_o we_o be_v so_o serve_v and_o rather_o rule_v and_o lest_o the_o time_n come_v that_o we_o may_v say_v here_o stand_v a_o church_n there_o be_v the_o gospel_n preach_v once_o we_o may_v safe_o profess_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o now_o we_o be_v exclude_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o may_v be_v these_o first_o because_o the_o people_n 1._o so_o long_o as_o they_o say_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o gospel_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o long_o they_o be_v obstinate_a in_o their_o sin_n and_o wilful_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n jere._n 7._o 4_o 3._o and_o for_o this_o cause_n to_o take_v away_o their_o shroud_n that_o they_o may_v cast_v away_o their_o vain_a confidence_n the_o lord_n spare_v not_o his_o own_o worship_n to_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o he_o also_o will_v not_o spare_v our_o life_n this_o may_v be_v urge_v to_o the_o uttermost_a for_o these_o our_o time_n wherein_o there_o be_v few_o that_o will_v cry_v the_o temple_n or_o the_o gospel_n but_o among_o those_o few_o which_o urge_v the_o bare_a name_n of_o religion_n and_o reformation_n how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o live_v riotous_o and_o walk_v licentious_o pitiful_o tronble_v the_o world_n with_o their_o lust_n and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n with_o their_o work_n but_o let_v we_o beware_v lest_o both_o they_o and_o other_o can_v say_v the_o temple_n but_o that_o we_o have_v religion_n in_o england_n second_o another_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o because_o 2_o we_o take_v not_o the_o true_a course_n and_o lawful_a way_n to_o keep_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n among_o us._n rom._n 9_o 32._o the_o jew_n say_v the_o apostle_n

lamentable_a be_v our_o case_n when_o we_o shall_v not_o fear_v god_n as_o a_o father_n but_o dread_v he_o as_o a_o judge_n we_o can_v pray_v unto_o he_o as_o a_o saviour_n but_o behave_v ourselves_o
