of_o god_n call_v the_o accept_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o our_o sin_n 26.41_o leu._n 26.41_o but_o if_o the_o sinner_n be_v not_o convince_v that_o he_o suffer_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o that_o his_o transgression_n have_v be_v the_o procurer_n of_o his_o affliction_n it_o can_v easy_o be_v but_o that_o his_o corrupt_a nature_n shall_v rebel_v against_o god_n and_o impatient_o rise_v up_o against_o his_o providence_n as_o unequal_a too_o rigorous_a &_o severe_a 2_o neither_o can_v a_o man_n profit_n by_o his_o affliction_n unless_o he_o be_v convince_v that_o his_o sin_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o and_o that_o god_n strike_v at_o they_o in_o his_o suffering_n who_o can_v think_v himself_o concern_v to_o amend_v and_o reform_v that_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o affliction_n which_o he_o never_o discern_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o nor_o can_v be_v convince_v that_o they_o have_v any_o relation_n to_o it_o but_o let_v a_o man_n once_o be_v thorough_o apprehensive_a of_o the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n against_o he_o for_o his_o particular_a sin_n and_o see_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n in_o his_o affliction_n strike_v at_o those_o sin_n and_o then_o he_o will_v soon_o think_v himself_o high_o concern_v to_o rectify_v or_o remove_v out_o of_o the_o way_n that_o which_o have_v do_v he_o so_o much_o mischief_n he_o will_v think_v he_o can_v make_v too_o much_o haste_n to_o quit_v and_o be_v rid_v of_o that_o for_o which_o he_o sore_o smart_v already_o and_o may_v yet_o smart_v more_o unless_o by_o his_o speedy_a reformation_n he_o prevent_v it_o when_o god_n have_v send_v a_o plague_n among_o the_o israelite_n for_o their_o murmur_a moses_n be_v deep_o sensible_a of_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n of_o god_n against_o they_o for_o that_o sin_n say_v to_o aaron_n 16.46_o numb_a 16.46_o take_v a_o censer_n and_o put_v fire_n therein_o from_o off_o the_o altar_n and_o put_v on_o incense_n and_o go_v quick_o unto_o the_o congregation_n and_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o they_o for_o there_o be_v wrath_n go_v out_o from_o the_o lord_n the_o plague_n be_v begin_v go_v quick_o say_v he_o for_o wrath_n be_v go_v out_o from_o the_o lord_n a_o lively_a sense_n of_o the_o anger_n and_o displeasure_n of_o god_n in_o your_o affliction_n for_o your_o sin_n will_v speed_v and_o quicken_v your_o endeavour_n to_o make_v your_o peace_n with_o god_n by_o answer_v the_o end_n of_o his_o correction_n 3_o neither_o can_v you_o rational_o expect_v to_o be_v free_v from_o your_o affliction_n in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n until_o they_o bring_v you_o to_o the_o sight_n of_o your_o sin_n and_o you_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n for_o till_o that_o be_v do_v upon_o you_o your_o affliction_n be_v whole_o fruitless_a as_o have_v do_v no_o part_n of_o that_o work_n for_o effect_v of_o which_o god_n send_v they_o to_o understand_v why_o you_o be_v afflict_v and_o to_o see_v the_o sin_n which_o god_n strike_v at_o in_o your_o affliction_n be_v the_o first_o step_v towards_o god_n attain_v his_o end_n in_o afflict_v you_o if_o this_o be_v not_o do_v upon_o you_o nothing_o be_v do_v and_o therefore_o you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o expect_v the_o removal_n of_o they_o unless_o it_o be_v to_o make_v way_n for_o some_o other_o more_o smart_a rod_n which_o may_v effectual_o work_v that_o in_o you_o which_o god_n intend_v but_o though_o in_o these_o respect_v it_o be_v most_o necessary_a to_o see_v and_o own_v our_o sin_n as_o the_o cause_n and_o procurer_n of_o our_o suffering_n yet_o to_o do_v it_o be_v as_o difficult_a as_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o such_o be_v the_o pride_n and_o stubbornness_n of_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o be_v not_o easy_o bring_v to_o take_v shame_n to_o ourselves_o and_o to_o acknowledge_v our_o own_o particular_a sin_n to_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o suffering_n say_v to_o ourselves_o as_o god_n say_v to_o jerusalem_n 4.18_o jer._n 4.18_o thy_o way_n and_o thy_o do_n have_v procure_v these_o thing_n unto_o thou_o we_o be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o acknowledge_v our_o own_o gild_n and_o will_v much_o rather_o lay_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o suffering_n at_o any_o other_o door_n than_o our_o own_o and_o this_o we_o be_v especial_o apt_a to_o do_v in_o public_a and_o common_a calamity_n these_o we_o ascribe_v 1._o to_o chance_n or_o common_a providence_n in_o which_o we_o do_v not_o think_v ourselves_o particular_o touch_v or_o concern_v 2._o to_o the_o wickedness_n of_o some_o malicious_a and_o mischievous_a instrument_n that_o be_v the_o contriver_n and_o causer_n of_o our_o suffering_n 3._o to_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o the_o provocation_n of_o such_o and_o such_o profligate_v and_o abominable_a person_n draw_v down_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o place_n and_o not_o our_o own_o offence_n as_o for_o ourselves_o we_o suffer_v only_o in_o the_o crowd_n and_o because_o we_o be_v find_v among_o those_o who_o be_v to_o be_v punish_v or_o 4._o if_o we_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n in_o the_o general_a to_o have_v be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o our_o suffering_n yet_o we_o descend_v not_o to_o particular_n we_o charge_v not_o ourselves_o with_o such_o and_o such_o sin_n for_o which_o god_n have_v be_v angry_a with_o we_o and_o so_o our_o own_v our_o sin_n only_o in_o general_a as_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o suffering_n be_v but_o a_o formal_a thing_n with_o which_o we_o be_v little_o affect_v it_o be_v little_a better_o than_o if_o we_o have_v say_v we_o believe_v indeed_o that_o we_o have_v deserve_v all_o that_o be_v come_v upon_o we_o but_o we_o know_v not_o how_o nor_o wherein_o ezra_n no_o doubt_n go_v a_o great_a deal_n further_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v question_v but_o that_o he_o have_v in_o his_o most_o passionate_a confession_n a_o eye_n upon_o the_o particular_a sin_n for_o which_o they_o suffer_v in_o babylon_n we_o may_v be_v sure_o they_o be_v not_o generality_n only_o that_o so_o deep_o affect_v he_o he_o have_v upon_o his_o heart_n the_o particular_a instance_n of_o their_o vile_a provocation_n together_o with_o the_o circumstance_n of_o they_o and_o so_o must_v we_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v affect_v with_o god_n terrible_a providence_n as_o we_o ought_v and_o to_o take_v they_o to_o heart_n in_o a_o right_a manner_n though_o what_o i_o be_o now_o speak_v concern_v we_o all_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v those_o among_o we_o who_o may_v think_v themselves_o very_o little_o concern_v therein_o 1._o those_o who_o though_o they_o have_v be_v sufferer_n together_o with_o other_o yet_o have_v be_v free_a from_o all_o those_o foul_a and_o enormous_a offence_n and_o high_a provocation_n which_o many_o other_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o and_o possible_o over_o and_o above_o their_o be_v free_a from_o the_o gild_n and_o stain_v of_o foul_a sin_n they_o have_v be_v such_o as_o have_v make_v a_o strict_a profession_n of_o religion_n than_o most_o other_o these_o person_n may_v be_v very_o inclinable_a to_o think_v that_o god_n do_v not_o particular_o intend_v the_o correct_v of_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n in_o the_o common_a judgement_n that_o light_v upon_o the_o place_n but_o that_o they_o suffer_v rather_o upon_o their_o neighbour_n account_v than_o their_o own_o 2._o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n perhaps_o may_v they_o be_v tempt_v to_o be_v who_o seem_v even_o as_o to_o outward_a thing_n to_o have_v gain_v by_o their_o affliction_n and_o to_o be_v in_o a_o better_a condition_n as_o to_o trade_n than_o they_o be_v in_o before_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o such_o if_o any_o such_o be_v to_o entertain_v themselves_o with_o a_o pleasant_a dream_n that_o god_n only_o empty_v they_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v fill_v they_o full_a than_o they_o be_v before_o and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o other_o design_n in_o pull_v down_o their_o house_n than_o that_o he_o may_v build_v they_o up_o fair_a but_o let_v neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o deceive_v themselves_o they_o will_v but_o flatter_v themselves_o if_o they_o shall_v think_v that_o god_n do_v not_o aim_v at_o their_o sin_n in_o his_o severe_a providence_n as_o well_o as_o at_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o neighbour_n as_o for_o the_o former_a of_o these_o though_o they_o may_v have_v be_v free_a from_o the_o foul_a abomination_n and_o cry_a sin_n of_o the_o place_n and_o though_o they_o may_v have_v make_v a_o strict_a and_o high_a profession_n of_o religion_n yet_o even_o such_o may_v have_v be_v taint_v with_o the_o pollution_n of_o many_o sin_n which_o may_v have_v have_v no_o small_a influence_n in_o procure_v the_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o town_n and_o their_o sin_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o near_a relation_n to_o god_n and_o strict_a profession_n
