in_o sackcloth_n be_v expire_v first_o it_o may_v be_v some_o can_v receive_v it_o because_o they_o look_v for_o far_a judgement_n to_o come_v upon_o this_o kingdom_n wherein_o outward_o the_o saint_n may_v suffer_v also_o because_o of_o the_o great_a provoke_a sin_n of_o this_o kingdom_n as_o drunkenness_n and_o adultery_n and_o oath_n and_o their_o enter_v into_o so_o many_o covenant_n concern_v religious_a thing_n for_o which_o they_o have_v no_o sufficient_a warrant_n now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o mean_a sort_n of_o people_n and_o the_o great_a neglect_n of_o do_v justice_n general_o etc._n etc._n now_o to_o these_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o god_n shall_v deal_v with_o this_o nation_n according_a to_o its_o demerit_n then_o indeed_o no_o other_o can_v be_v expect_v but_o a_o utter_a desolation_n of_o it_o that_o it_o may_v either_o swim_v in_o blood_n or_o burn_v with_o fire_n until_o it_o be_v consume_v but_o first_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v a_o very_a great_a number_n of_o his_o dear_a saint_n in_o this_o kingdom_n in_o who_o he_o delight_v and_o for_o who_o sake_n he_o may_v and_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v will_v spare_v this_o kingdom_n and_o spare_v the_o city_n and_o town_n and_o county_n where_o they_o be_v for_o if_o god_n will_v have_v spare_v sodom_n for_o ten_o righteous_a person_n we_o have_v a_o great_a ground_n of_o hope_n that_o he_o will_v spare_v london_n yea_o all_o england_n from_o a_o general_a devastation_n and_o desolation_n have_v thousand_o of_o righteous_a person_n in_o london_n and_o in_o all_o england_n a_o very_a great_a number_n and_o how_o many_o plot_n of_o wicked_a man_n wherein_o they_o endeavour_v the_o ruin_n of_o this_o kingdom_n have_v god_n blast_v have_v such_o a_o great_a number_n of_o his_o precious_a jewel_n in_o it_o and_o second_o what_o though_o h●ere_o be_v in_o this_o kingdom_n many_o that_o be_v great_a enemy_n to_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o god_n can_v by_o his_o covenant_n of_o grace_n bring_v many_o of_o they_o in_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n and_o make_v they_o of_o persecutor_n to_o become_v eminent_a saint_n and_o call_v those_o his_o people_n that_o be_v not_o his_o people_n and_o why_o shall_v we_o doubt_v whether_o he_o will_v do_v so_o since_o these_o be_v the_o time_n wherein_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o do_v so_o and_o have_v already_o begin_v to_o do_v it_o but_o three_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o some_o be_v harden_v to_o destruction_n and_o they_o be_v never_o quiet_a but_o still_o be_v plot_v against_o the_o just_a to_o ruin_v they_o yet_o know_v they_o shall_v not_o prevail_v over_o the_o saint_n but_o in_o oppose_v they_o shall_v ruin_v themselves_o zech._n 12._o 3._o as_o appear_v in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n second_o doubtful_a thought_n may_v be_v in_o other_o that_o yet_o the_o saint_n may_v be_v overcome_v because_o they_o see_v they_o have_v so_o many_o enemy_n abroad_o and_o at_o home_n and_o they_o be_v speak_v great_a word_n and_o be_v still_o plot_v against_o they_o to_o such_o i_o say_v let_v they_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o do_v dare_v to_o make_v any_o opposisition_n at_o all_o in_o this_o kingdom_n but_o that_o all_o thing_n go_v smooth_o on_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o that_o be_v carry_v it_o on_o and_o if_o they_o can_v then_o believe_v that_o indeed_o god_n will_v not_o have_v his_o saint_n in_o this_o kingdom_n to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n by_o the_o beast_n any_o more_o then_o let_v they_o have_v the_o same_o faith_n to_o believe_v it_o now_o as_o know_v it_o be_v as_o easy_a with_o god_n to_o carry_v on_o this_o work_n over_o the_o mountain_n as_o over_o
