before_o there_o must_v be_v a_o conformity_n in_o life_n a_o christian_n must_v be_v strong_a unconquerable_a not_o carry_v a_o obscure_a profession_n but_o resolute_a express_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n and_o hold_v out_o against_o all_o opposition_n to_o the_o last_o breath_n he_o must_v give_v all_o diligence_n by_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n to_o make_v his_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a many_o there_o be_v that_o snatch_n at_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o gospel_n as_o if_o they_o undoubted_o do_v belong_v to_o they_o and_o yet_o they_o remain_v sluggish_a and_o careless_a and_o be_v flatter_v by_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o present_a world_n they_o pass_v in_o their_o course_n in_o quietness_n and_o security_n as_o if_o they_o be_v the_o only_a happy_a man_n who_o nevertheless_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o providence_n have_v ordain_v to_o eternal_a wrath_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o saint_n luke_n rich_n man_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o i_o 16._o therefore_o take_v

if_o it_o be_v a_o real_a frenzy_n yet_o there_o be_v some_o hope_n leave_v of_o god_n mercy_n whereas_o now_o there_o be_v none_o for_o i_o know_v that_o god_n have_v pronounce_v i_o a_o enemy_n and_o guilty_a of_o high_a treason_n against_o his_o majesty_n i_o be_o a_o castaway_n a_o vassal_n of_o wrath_n yet_o dare_v you_o call_v it_o dissemble_v and_o frenzy_n and_o can_v mock_v at_o the_o formidable_a example_n of_o the_o heavy_a wrath_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v teach_v you_o fear_n and_o terror_n but_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o the_o flesh_n either_o out_o of_o malice_n or_o

this_o be_v say_v gribauldus_n that_o you_o can_v thus_o excellent_o discourse_v of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o you_o find_v the_o want_n of_o they_o and_o earnest_o desire_v they_o and_o yet_o you_o think_v you_o be_v utter_o deprive_v of_o they_o take_v this_o for_o certain_a say_v he_o i_o want_v the_o main_a grace_n of_o all_o and_o that_o which_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a and_o god_n do_v many_o time_n ex●ort_v most_o true_a and_o strange_a testimony_n of_o his_o majesty_n justice_n and_o mercy_n yea_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n

therefore_o if_o i_o do_v the_o like_a it_o be_v no_o new_a or_o strange_a matter_n god_n have_v take_v faith_n from_o i_o and_o leave_v i_o other_o common_a gift_n for_o my_o deep_a condemnation_n by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o i_o remember_v what_o i_o have_v and_o hear_v other_o discourse_n of_o what_o they_o have_v by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v my_o torment_n in_o that_o i_o know_v

support_v it_o i_o think_v myself_o sure_a and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n live_v impious_o and_o careless_o behold_v now_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n have_v overtake_v i_o not_o to_o correction_n but_o to_o condemnation_n and_o now_o you_o will_v have_v i_o to_o believe_v but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v for_o i_o feel_v too_o late_o that_o good_a thing_n belong_v only_o to_o such_o as_o be_v
