live_n out_o of_o a_o word_n of_o promise_n but_o unbelief_n will_v let_v we_o die_v and_o starve_v in_o the_o midst_n and_o throng_n of_o all_o the_o promise_n yea_o unbelief_n as_o to_o we_o destroy_v the_o promise_n and_o cut_v the_o sinew_n of_o they_o so_o that_o they_o can_v stir_v hand_n or_o foot_n to_o help_v we_o yet_o further_o unbelief_n as_o much_o as_o in_o it_o lie_v turn_v all_o the_o promise_n into_o fallacy_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n into_o a_o lie_n faith_n feed_v upon_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o unbelief_n devour_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o sure_o they_o shall_v never_o receive_v the_o good_a of_o a_o promise_n who_o deny_v and_o destroy_v the_o truth_n of_o a_o promise_n a_o four_o reason_n be_v this_o unbelief_n destroy_v all_o former_a mercy_n therefore_o certain_o unbelief_n will_v hinder_v future_a mercy_n by_o unbelief_n god_n lose_v all_o the_o favour_n he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o when_o we_o believe_v not_o what_o

be_v ever_o pardon_v it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o case_n of_o temporal_n and_o can_v we_o think_v he_o will_v bestow_v new_a favour_n where_o he_o have_v lose_v those_o he_o have_v bestow_v god_n will_v never_o trust_v that_o which_o distrust_v he_o the_o seven_o lean_a kine_n of_o pharaoh_n eat_v up_o the_o fat_a kine_n though_o we_o have_v have_v seven_o fat_a kine_n and_o full_a ear_n of_o corn_n though_o god_n have_v give_v we_o seven_o full_a mercy_n seven_o great_a deliverance_n yet_o unbelief_n will_v swallow_v they_o all_o at_o a_o bit_n as_o it_o be_v and_o yet_o be_v as_o lean_a and_o empty_a as_o before_o we_o see_v it_o clear_o in_o that_o passage_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n exod._n 14._o 11._o god_n have_v wrought_v a_o great_a deliverance_n for_o they_o he_o have_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n with_o a_o strong_a hand_n and_o they_o have_v see_v the_o wonder_n of_o god_n ten_o time_n there_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o they_o come_v to_o the_o red_a sea_n unbelief_n seize_v upon_o they_o oh_o they_o shall_v never_o overcome_v that_o difficulty_n never_o get_v past_o that_o danger_n what_o do_v this_o their_o unbelief_n even_o what_o i_o have_v say_v it_o devour_v all_o former_a mercy_n nay_o it_o not_o only_o take_v away_o former_a mercy_n but_o turn_v they_o into_o affliction_n and_o cross_n so_o we_o may_v interpret_v their_o complaint_n because_o there_o be_v no_o grave_n in_o egypt_n have_v thou_o take_v we_o away_o to_o die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n wherefore_o have_v thou_o deal_v thus_o with_o we_o to_o carry_v we_o forth_o out_o of_o egypt_n for_o it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o we_o to_o serve_v the_o egyptian_n then_o that_o we_o shall_v die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n see_v how_o angry_a they_o be_v at_o former_a mercy_n how_o they_o prefer_v bondage_n before_o deliverance_n wherefore_o have_v thou_o deal_v thus_o with_o we_o to_o carry_v we_o out_o of_o egypt_n can_v we_o judge_v a_o people_n who_o be_v angry_a with_o former_a mercy_n fit_a to_o receive_v new_a mercy_n such_o be_v the_o language_n of_o unbelief_n at_o this_o day_n how_o many_o in_o their_o distress_n when_o they_o be_v bring_v as_o it_o be_v unto_o the_o red_a sea_n wish_v that_o this_o reformation_n have_v never_o be_v begin_v it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o they_o to_o have_v serve_v their_o old_a taskmaster_n both_o in_o spiritual_n and_o in_o temporal_n then_o to_o endure_v such_o hardship_n then_o to_o run_v such_o hazard_n and_o be_v at_o such_o cost_n to_o free_v themselves_o they_o look_v upon_o all_o the_o wonder_n which_o god_n have_v wrought_v as_o matter_n of_o their_o sorrow_n we_o see_v what_o we_o have_v bring_v ourselves_o to_o o_o that_o we_o have_v suffer_v any_o thing_n rather_o than_o what_o we_o suffer_v five_o unbelief_n rob_v god_n of_o his_o honour_n and_o that_o which_o take_v glory_n from_o god_n must_v needs_o hinder_v mercy_n from_o man_n we_o can_v never_o enrich_v ourselves_o by_o rob_v god_n unbelief_n be_v a_o god-robbing_a sin_n and_o it_o rob_v god_n of_o that_o which_o be_v most_o precious_a to_o he_o unbelief_n be_v a_o bold_a sin_n it_o go_v into_o god_n cabinet_n and_o take_v away_o his_o chief_a jewel_n it_o take_v away_o that_o which_o he_o say_v he_o will_v not_o give_v away_o his_o glory_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o 8._o isa_n 42._o 8._o that_o reputation_n which_o he_o have_v in_o the_o world_n i_o speak_v not_o of_o his_o essential_a glory_n which_o he_o have_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o shall_v have_v whether_o man_n believe_v or_o no_o but_o i_o speak_v of_o his_o extrinsecall_n manifestative_a and_o declarative_a glory_n this_o unbelief_n obscure_v and_o cast_v a_o vail_n upon_o yea_o steal_v quite_o away_o you_o know_v a_o man_n glory_n be_v go_v when_o his_o credit_n be_v go_v if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o such_o a_o condition_n that_o no_o man_n will_v believe_v he_o or_o take_v his_o word_n or_o give_v he_o credit_n that_o man_n have_v lose_v all_o his_o honour_n and_o reputation_n in_o the_o world_n now_o unbelief_n make_v god_n of_o no_o credit_n in_o the_o world_n let_v he_o speak_v what_o he_o will_v let_v he_o give_v his_o word_n his_o hand_n his_o covenant_n his_o seal_n his_o oath_n he_o have_v no_o credit_n among_o unbeliever_n it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o old_a saint_n heb._n 11._o 2._o that_o by_o

in_o honour_n show_v himself_o faithful_a though_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v prove_v liar_n and_o unbeliever_n but_o no_o thanks_o to_o unbelief_n that_o will_v put_v the_o high_a dishonour_n upon_o
