the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o the_o lord_n call_v it_o his_o own_o people_n whence_o i_o observe_v that_o to_o help_v god_n people_n be_v to_o help_v the_o lord_n doctr._n three_o from_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o nearness_n to_o the_o people_n of_o 3._o god_n in_o regard_n of_o habitation_n i_o observe_v that_o the_o near_a a_o people_n be_v to_o god_n people_n in_o distress_n the_o more_o be_v doctr._n their_o help_n require_v and_o the_o great_a be_v their_o sin_n if_o they_o do_v not_o help_v they_o this_o i_o apply_v to_o ourselves_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o case_n of_o

that_o i_o intend_v to_o insist_v upon_o at_o this_o time_n be_v this_o that_o they_o be_v all_o curse_a that_o help_v not_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v that_o help_v not_o the_o lord_n people_n in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o distress_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o doctr._n point_n observe_v but_o that_o reprehension_n of_o moses_n numb._n 32._o 6._o to_o the_o child_n of_o gad_n and_o the_o

but_o i_o will_v stand_v no_o long_o on_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o point_n but_o come_v unto_o the_o use_n of_o it_o which_o i_o do_v principal_o intend_v to_o stand_v upon_o and_o first_o of_o all_o be_v it_o so_o that_o they_o be_v all_o curse_a that_o help_v not_o the_o lord_n against_o the_o mighty_a then_o sure_o they_o be_v curse_v with_o a_o heavy_a curse_n that_o use_v help_v the_o mighty_a against_o the_o lord_n but_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v few_o or_o none_o such_o in_o this_o congregation_n and_o i_o desire_v not_o to_o speak_v much_o to_o they_o that_o be_v absent_a yet_o if_o any_o of_o you_o that_o hear_v i_o have_v any_o friend_n that_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v they_o what_o a_o fearful_a condition_n they_o be_v in_o that_o set_v themselves_o against_o the_o lord_n but_o there_o be_v other_o who_o be_v not_o so_o bad_a as_o to_o help_v the_o mighty_a against_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o not_o so_o good_a as_o to_o help_v the_o lord_n ag●inst_v the_o mighty_a but_o stand_v as_o neuter_n at_o such_o time_n when_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o say_v whether_o the_o lord_n or_o the_o mighty_a will_v prevail_v and_o of_o these_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n the_o first_o sort_n do_v it_o out_o of_o policy_n as_o now_o at_o this_o time_n the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o england_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o mighty_a have_v be_v long_o under_o tyrannical_a ●_z government_n and_o the_o lord_n we_o hope_v be_v now_o at_o war_n with_o they_o why_o there_o be_v some_o politician_n that_o stand_v look_v on_o to_o see_v which_o side_n will_v prevail_v and_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v now_o reform_v this_o government_n and_o so_o prevail_v why_o then_o they_o will_v be_v on_o the_o lord_n side_n but_o if_o the_o mighty_a shall_v prevail_v which_o the_o lord_n forbid_v than_o they_o will_v be_v on_o the_o mighty_n side_n but_o as_o gideon_n say_v to_o the_o man_n of_o succoth_n when_o they_o refuse_v to_o give_v morsel_n of_o bread_n to_o his_o people_n that_o follow_v after_o zebab_n and_o zalmunna_n king_n of_o midian_a when_o the_o lord_n have_v deliver_v they_o into_o 7._o my_o hand_n i_o will_v tear_v your_o flesh_n with_o thorn_n of_o the_o wilderness_n and_o with_o brier_n so_o say_v i_o to_o such_o if_o the_o lord_n prevail_v against_o the_o enemy_n of_o his_o church_n the_o lord_n will_v make_v they_o smart_v be_v sure_a of_o it_o for_o that_o you_o will_v now_o afford_v he_o no_o help_n against_o they_o the_o second_o sort_n be_v such_o as_o refuse_v to_o help_v the_o lord_n not_o so_o much_o out_o of_o policy_n as_o out_o of_o sloth_n and_o negligence_n like_v unto_o the_o man_n of_o jabesh_n gilead_n 2._o that_o go_v not_o to_o war_n with_o their_o brethren_n against_o the_o benjamite_n but_o let_v
