thing_n come_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n now_o consider_v all_o you_o that_o call_v yourselves_o minister_n and_o other_o in_o christendom_n so_o call_v christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o seed's-man_n and_o he_o sow_v the_o good_a seed_n which_o be_v in_o man_n heart_n now_o some_o heart_n be_v a_o highway_n and_o those_o fowl_n in_o they_o that_o be_v breed_v by_o the_o foul_a spirit_n take_v it_o away_o and_o some_o be_v sow_o upon_o stony_a ground_n where_o be_v not_o much_o earth_n but_o be_v scorch_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o persecution_n and_o some_o again_o be_v sow_o upon_o the_o thorny_a ground_n thorny_a heart_n where_o it_o grow_v a_o while_n and_o then_o the_o thorn_n the_o care_n of_o the_o world_n choke_v it_o but_o that_o which_o be_v sow_o upon_o good_a ground_n bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n abundant_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n the_o seed's-man_n now_o christ_n in_o a_o parable_n 〈◊〉_d speak_v of_o a_o housholder_n that_o sow_v good_a seed_n in_o his_o field_n and_o his_o servant_n say_v do_v thou_o not_o sow_v good_a seed_n whence_o then_o have_v it_o tare_n he_o answer_v a_o enemy_n have_v do_v this_o they_o reply_v will_v thou_o that_o we_o go_v and_o gather_v they_o up_o nay_o say_v he_o lest_o you_o gather_v the_o wheat_n also_o let_v both_o grow_v together_o till_o the_o harvest_n the_o field_n be_v the_o world_n the_o good_a seed_n be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n the_o tare_n be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o wicked_a one_o the_o enemy_n that_o sow_v they_o be_v the_o devil_n the_o harvest_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o reaper_n be_v the_o angel_n so_o christ_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v his_o disciple_n to_o gather_v the_o tare_n lest_o

see_v it_o be_v the_o angel_n work_v to_o sever_v the_o wheat_n from_o the_o tare_n and_o the_o wicked_a from_o the_o just_a and_o therefore_o who_o servant_n have_v you_o be_v in_o all_o

of_o tooth_n etc._n etc._n and_o luke_n 9.55_o when_o christ_n send_v to_o a_o village_n of_o the_o sameritan_n to_o make_v ready_a for_o he_o and_o they_o do_v not_o receive_v he_o his_o disciple_n say_v lord_n will_v thou_o that_o we_o command_v fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o consume_v they_o even_o as_o elias_n do_v but_o christ_n rebuke_v they_o say_v you_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v not_o come_v to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v they_o now_o mark_v if_o the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o know_v themselves_o what_o spirit_n they_o be_v of_o who_o will_v have_v have_v fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n upon_o such_o as_o will_v not_o receive_v christ_n how_o do_v you_o know_v what_o

what_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o you_o will_v not_o persecute_v but_o see_v you_o do_v not_o therefore_o it_o be_v you_o will_v have_v the_o people_n of_o god_n persecute_v and_o so_o be_v under_o the_o rebuke_n of_o christ_n who_o come_v to_o save_o and_o nor_o destroy_v and_o therefore_o since_o you_o do_v not_o know_v what_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o yourselves_o we_o can_v trust_v our_o

christ_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o that_o that_o he_o command_v we_o to_o love_v one_o another_o and_o to_o love_v enemy_n but_o this_o command_n have_v be_v little_o regard_v in_o christendom_n christ_n speak_v to_o such_o as_o build_v the_o sepulcher_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o garnish_v they_o who_o their_o forefather_n have_v kill_v and_o yet_o these_o builder_n kill_v the_o son_n have_v not_o we_o the_o same_o builder_n now_o that_o will_v kill_v he_o and_o persecute_v he_o where_o he_o be_v reveal_v in_o his_o people_n true_o you_o bear_v witness_n that_o you_o allow_v the_o deed_n of_o your_o forefather_n who_o do_v kill_v they_o and_o their_o child_n build_v and_o garnish_v their_o sepulcher_n that_o so_o all_o the_o righteous_a blood_n from_o abel_n to_o zacharias_n yea_o to_o this_o very_a day_n will_v come_v upon_o this_o generation_n of_o persecutor_n whereof_o in_o our_o day_n we_o have_v see_v sad_a example_n how_o the_o lord_n have_v cut_v several_a of_o they_o

you_o think_v that_o you_o shall_v escape_v the_o sword_n of_o his_o judgement_n and_o of_o his_o mouth_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o do_v ever_o christ_n though_o he_o be_v call_v a_o
