over_o if_o we_o lose_v this_o season_n we_o be_v go_v for_o ever_o it_o be_v therefore_o our_o wisdom_n to_o know_v whether_o our_o fruitfulness_n in_o faith_n repentance_n and_o obedience_n do_v answer_v the_o rain_n and_o dress_n we_o have_v have_v by_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o word_n the_o axe_n be_v lay_v at_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n if_o we_o bring_v not_o forth_o good_a

therefore_o we_o have_v be_v long_o most_o of_o we_o under_o this_o trial_n it_o be_v assure_o high_a time_n that_o we_o call_v ourselves_o unto_o a_o strict_a account_n with_o respect_n unto_o it_o and_o if_o upon_o enquiry_n we_o find_v ourselves_o at_o a_o loss_n which_o sort_n of_o ground_n we_o do_v belong_v unto_o because_o of_o our_o barrenness_n and_o leanness_n unless_o we_o be_v

that_o though_o the_o earth_n on_o which_o the_o rain_n fall_v be_v here_o distribute_v by_o the_o apostle_n into_o two_o sort_n like_o jeremiah_n figgs_n very_o good_a and_o the_o very_a bad_a to_o

whereby_o we_o may_v miscarry_v under_o our_o trial_n one_o only_o whereby_o we_o may_v be_v accept_v namely_o fruitfulness_n of_o heart_n and_o life_n barrenness_n under_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v always_o accompany_v with_o a_o increase_n of_o sin_n the_o ground_n which_o bring_v not_o forth_o herb_n meet_v for_o they_o by_o who_o it_o 2._o be_v dress_v thrust_v forth_o thorn_n and_o briar_n let_v it_o be_v observe_v that_o spiritual_a barrenness_n never_o go_v alone_o abound_v in_o sin_n will_v accompany_v it_o and_o do_v so_o it_o may_v be_v it_o do_v not_o so_o open_o and_o visible_o for_o a_o season_n but_o all_o thing_n will_v tend_v thereunto_o and_o at_o last_o it_o will_v discover_v itself_o yea_o there_o be_v no_o sinner_n like_o they_o nor_o sin_n like_o they_o by_o who_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n be_v reject_v or_o not_o improve_v the_o first_o generation_n of_o great_a provoke_a sinner_n be_v those_o of_o the_o old_a world_n before_o the_o

generation_n no_o less_o wicked_a than_o that_o before_o the_o flood_n insomuch_o as_o their_o own_o historian_n affirm_v that_o he_o very_o believe_v that_o if_o the_o roman_n have_v not_o come_v and_o destroy_v they_o god_n will_v have_v pour_v fire_n and_o brimstone_n on_o they_o from_o heaven_n as_o he_o do_v upon_o sodom_n and_o the_o three_o generation_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n be_v the_o apostate_n christian_n church_n who_o condition_n and_o state_n be_v describe_v in_o the_o revelation_n this_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o barrenness_n under_o god_n culture_n and_o water_v and_o it_o will_v be_v so_o for_o 1_o when_o man_n have_v reject_v the_o last_o mean_n of_o their_o spiritual_a heal_n and_o restraint_n of_o sin_n what_o can_v be_v expect_v from_o they_o but_o a_o outrage_n in_o sin_v there_o be_v three_o way_n whereby_o god_n put_v a_o restraint_n upon_o sin_n the_o first_o be_v by_o the_o light_n of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n this_o be_v bear_v with_o man_n in_o the_o principle_n of_o it_o and_o grow_v into_o exercise_n in_o the_o improvement_n of_o reason_n and_o where_o the_o natural_a work_n of_o it_o be_v not_o prevent_v and_o suffocate_v by_o the_o horrible_a example_n of_o parent_n and_o relation_n live_v in_o curse_v lie_v and_o all_o manner_n of_o profaneness_n it_o be_v very_o useful_a in_o youth_n to_o restrain_v person_n from_o sundry_a sin_n it_o be_v so_o i_o say_v until_o corruption_n get_v strength_n and_o temptation_n abound_v custom_n in_o sin_v take_v away_o the_o edge_n of_o it_o and_o weaken_v it_o in_o its_o operation_n wherefore_o 2_o when_o this_o restraint_n be_v break_v through_o god_n set_v up_o the_o hedge_n of_o the_o law_n before_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n to_o deter_v they_o from_o sin_n and_o this_o also_o have_v a_o great_a efficacy_n with_o many_o unto_o this_o end_n at_o least_o for_o a_o season_n but_o neither_o will_v mere_a conviction_n from_o the_o law_n always_o give_v bound_n unto_o the_o lust_n of_o man_n wherefore_o 3_o the_o gospel_n come_v with_o a_o different_a design_n from_o they_o both_o the_o utmost_a of_o their_o aim_n and_o work_n be_v but_o to_o restrain_v sin_n but_o the_o gospel_n come_v to_o convert_v the_o sinner_n their_o work_n be_v to_o set_v a_o dam_n before_o the_o stream_n of_o sin_n that_o of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o dry_v up_o the_o spring_n but_o if_o this_o also_o as_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n be_v reject_v and_o despise_v what_o remain_v to_o set_v any_o bound_n unto_o the_o lust_n of_o man_n they_o will_v find_v themselves_o at_o liberty_n to_o act_v their_o own_o inclination_n to_o the_o utmost_a as_o have_v cast_v off_o all_o regard_n to_o god_n in_o all_o the_o way_n whereby_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o hence_o you_o may_v find_v more_o honesty_n and_o uprightness_n a_o more_o conscientious_a abstinence_n from_o sin_n wrong_n and_o injury_n more_o effect_n of_o moral_a virtue_n among_o heathen_n and_o mahometan_n than_o among_o profess_a christian_n or_o person_n who_o be_v unprofitable_a under_o the_o gospel_n do_v thereby_o tacit_o reject_v it_o no_o field_n in_o the_o world_n be_v full_a of_o thorn_n and_o briar_n than_o those_o of_o people_n nation_n church_n who_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v christian_n and_o be_v not_o suppose_v two_o field_n equal_o barren_a let_v one_o of_o they_o be_v till_v and_o
