a_o other_o that_o rule_n be_v certain_a and_o a_o evident_a truth_n &_o needs_o no_o prove_v now_o we_o have_v be_v visit_v with_o famine_n earthquake_n pestilence_n inundation_n thunder_n and_o

which_o they_o have_v wrought_v therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v there_o remain_v behind_o a_o great_a judgement_n man_n may_v be_v so_o mad_a to_o think_v these_o to_o be_v ordinary_a thing_n and_o to_o come_v by_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o ordinary_a cause_n but_o certain_o they_o be_v the_o shake_n of_o the_o rod_n and_o forerunner_n of_o a_o great_a judgement_n unless_o repentance_n cut_v off_o their_o course_n for_o look_v as_o one_o cloud_n follow_v another_o till_o the_o sun_n consume_v they_o so_o one_o judgement_n hasten_v after_o a_o other_o and_o repentance_n only_o be_v

out_o of_o the_o whole_a chapter_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v gather_v as_o a_o rule_n i_o will_v curse_v that_o people_n that_o break_v my_o law_n now_o we_o may_v not_o deny_v but_o this_o land_n of_o we_o be_v for_o abundance_n of_o sin_n a_o people_n of_o sodom_n all_o kind_n of_o sin_n in_o all_o estate_n of_o man_n rage_n &_o reign_v every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o unless_o we_o repent_v and_o so_o dissolve_v this_o cloud_n of_o judgement_n that_o hang_v over_o our_o head_n it_o can_v be_v but_o a_o most_o fearful_a tempest_n be_v to_o come_v at_o the_o

of_o corn_n but_o the_o heap_n of_o corn_n be_v full_a of_o chaff_n that_o be_v these_o particular_a church_n be_v full_a of_o hypocrite_n now_o a_o wise_a husbandman_n let_v corn_n and_o chaff_n

and_o lay_v up_o his_o corn_n so_o god_n the_o great_a and_o wise_a husbandman_n will_v not_o let_v the_o chaff_n lie_v for_o ever_o among_o the_o wheat_n he_o have_v therefore_o appoint_v his_o

that_o it_o sever_v the_o chaff_n from_o the_o wheat_n that_o be_v good_a professor_n from_o hypocrite_n in_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o blow_n so_o strong_o upon_o the_o wicked_a that_o it_o

these_o three_o fan_n of_o god_n make_v a_o threefold_a separation_n of_o the_o chaff_n from_o the_o wheat_n that_o be_v of_o the_o wicked_a from_o the_o elect_a with_o the_o fan_n of_o his_o word_n which_o be_v powerful_a he_o sever_v they_o in_o all_o affection_n and_o disposition_n and_o make_v a_o distinction_n of_o they_o so_o as_o general_o the_o wheat_n be_v know_v to_o be_v wheat_n and_o

he_o sever_v they_o asunder_o in_o soul_n gather_v the_o godly_a man_n as_o his_o wheat_n into_o the_o heaven_n and_o blow_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o wicked_a into_o hell_n but_o yet_o the_o body_n of_o they_o both_o lie_v together_o as_o partaker_n of_o the_o same_o judgement_n so_o subject_a to_o the_o same_o corruption_n and_o be_v all_o lodge_v in_o the_o

temptation_n sickness_n or_o open_a persecution_n the_o chaff_n of_o natural_a presumption_n and_o outward_a formality_n in_o religion_n will_v fly_v away_o and_o it_o must_v be_v the_o penitent_a humble_v and_o believe_v heart_n which_o must_v then_o abide_v it_o out_o and_o endure_v the_o fan_n of_o temptation_n and_o persecution_n and_o to_o conclude_v let_v not_o the_o devil_n deceive_v thou_o in_o make_v thou_o imagine_v or_o hope_v to_o please_v god_n and_o yet_o to_o let_v thy_o corruption_n lie_v unseen_a and_o thy_o sin_n unsearched_a out_o lest_o thereby_o thou_o mar_v all_o for_o thou_o use_v not_o to_o lay_v up_o wheat_n in_o thy_o garner_n until_o it_o be_v purge_v from_o the_o chaff_n so_o think_v not_o to_o store_v up_o any_o save_a knowledge_n or_o any_o other_o

when_o the_o winnow_a time_n of_o trial_n and_o persecution_n come_v i_o fear_v that_o such_o man_n will_v for_o all_o their_o knowledge_n shrink_v aside_o and_o betray_v the_o truth_n their_o

persecution_n or_o temptation_n come_v if_o thou_o will_v abide_v the_o fury_n of_o the_o fan_n of_o temptation_n now_o then_o exercise_v thy_o heart_n with_o the_o fan_n of_o god_n law_n search_v and_o ransack_v it_o purge_v out_o the_o chaff_n of_o corruption_n and_o store_n up_o knowledge_n in_o a_o holy_a heart_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o that_o will_v abide_v the_o violence_n of_o all_o temptation_n yea_o when_o god_n suffer_v the_o devil_n to_o do_v with_o we_o as_o he_o do_v with_o peter_n to_o winnowe_v we_o like_o wheat_n to_o sift_v and_o try_v we_o as_o he_o do_v job_n with_o the_o furious_a wind_n of_o all_o his_o malice_n then_o knowledge_n will_v prove_v wheat_n that_o will_v abide_v the_o wind_n and_o gold_n that_o will_v abide_v the_o fire_n thus_o glorious_a will_v it_o be_v in_o the_o end_n if_o we_o follow_v this_o holy_a prophet_n counsel_n and_o search_v our_o heart_n ¶_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o point_n namely_o the_o duty_n of_o search_v here_o command_v in_o which_o we_o have_v stay_v the_o long_a because_o it_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o this_o be_v well_o lay_v the_o whole_a building_n will_v go_v up_o the_o fast_a now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o general_a point_n here_o lay_v down_o that_o be_v who_o must_v we_o search_v the_o prophet_n answer_v yourselves_o not_o other_o man_n but_o yourselves_o this_o search_n so_o urge_v and_o enforce_v by_o the_o prophet_n must_v not_o be_v of_o other_o man_n heart_n &_o life_n but_o of_o our_o own_o our_o own_o be_v our_o charge_n and_o not_o other_o man_n and_o therein_o be_v the_o say_n true_a which_o else_o be_v most_o false_a every_o man_n for_o himself_o for_o as_o every_o soul_n must_v be_v save_v by_o itself_o so_o must_v it_o believe_v repent_v and_o search_v itself_o the_o duty_n therefore_o here_o command_v be_v for_o every_o man_n that_o will_v have_v his_o soul_n to_o be_v save_v to_o search_v it_o and_o reform_v it_o &_o leave_v other_o to_o be_v search_v by_o themselves_o here_o the_o holy_a ghost_n meet_v with_o the_o common_a corruption_n of_o this_o world_n and_o that_o be_v that_o man_n be_v eagle_n eye_v to_o see_v into_o the_o life_n of_o other_o man_n but_o to_o look_v into_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o life_n they_o be_v blind_a than_o mole_n they_o can_v see_v moat_n in_o other_o man_n life_n but_o discern_v not_o beam_n in_o their_o own_o whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o stumble_v and_o fall_v fowlie_o for_o the_o eye_n of_o most_o man_n be_v set_v upon_o other_o and_o not_o upon_o themselves_o and_o thereupon_o it_o be_v that_o a_o evil_a man_n see_v ooth_a man_n and_o not_o himself_o think_v best_o of_o himself_o and_o worst_a of_o other_o man_n but_o contrariwise_o a_o good_a man_n see_v himself_o and_o not_o other_o man_n think_v worst_a of_o himself_o and_o better_a of_o other_o man_n a_o evil_a man_n look_v outward_a and_o judge_v other_o man_n but_o a_o good_a man_n look_v homeward_o and_o judge_v himself_o and_o in_o judge_v condemn_v himself_o far_o above_o other_o man_n and_o that_o because_o by_o search_v into_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o way_n he_o know_v that_o by_o himself_o which_o he_o know_v not_o by_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o so_o then_o we_o must_v search_v not_o other_o man_n but_o ourselves_o our_o own_o heart_n &_o our_o own_o life_n be_v our_o charge_n and_o burden_n the_o life_n of_o other_o man_n concern_v we_o not_o be_v private_a man_n further_a then_o either_o to_o follow_v they_o be_v good_a or_o take_v heed_n of_o they_o be_v evil_a but_o to_o search_v or_o be_v inquisitive_a into_o they_o be_v no_o duty_n command_v we_o but_o rather_o a_o foul_a and_o a_o base_a vice_n forbid_v of_o god_n indeed_o magistrate_n in_o their_o people_n pastor_n in_o their_o congregation_n and_o householder_n in_o their_o family_n be_v to_o search_v but_o they_o can_v search_v only_o for_o criminal_a cause_n to_o open_v actual_a sin_n but_o this_o search_n must_v be_v of_o our_o heart_n which_o no_o man_n can_v search_v but_o ourselves_o only_o few_o man_n have_v a_o calling_n to_o inquire_v into_o other_o man_n life_n but_o every_o man_n have_v a_o calling_n to_o search_v into_o himself_o but_o alas_o man_n do_v far_o otherwise_o they_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o rot_v in_o their_o own_o sin_n and_o erect_v a_o inquisition_n over_o other_o man_n life_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o daily_a experience_n that_o those_o man_n who_o be_v the_o great_a searcher_n and_o pryer_n into_o other_o man_n be_v the_o neglecter_n and_o forgetter_n of_o themselves_o and_o contrariwise_o they_o who_o do_v narrow_o search_v themselves_o and_o their_o own_o way_n and_o look_v into_o the_o corner_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n do_v find_v so_o much_o work_v to_o do_v with_o themselves_o that_o they_o little_o busy_v themselves_o wi●h_v other_o man_n and_o thus_o much_o may_v suffice_v for_o that_o point_n it_o follow_v o_o nation_n not_o worthy_a to_o be_v belove_v the_o three_o point_n who_o must_v search_v the_o jew_n who_o be_v here_o term_v a_o nation_n not_o

the_o unspeakable_a love_n of_o god_n and_o his_o wonderful_a mercy_n offer_v grace_n unto_o such_o man_n as_o be_v altogether_o unworthy_a of_o it_o god_n child_n be_v by_o nature_n like_o other_o

you_o have_v so_o long_o contemn_v the_o fan_n of_o the_o word_n and_o find_v you_o too_o light_a to_o abide_v the_o trial_n do_v take_v you_o away_o in_o the_o judgement_n and_o cast_v you_o into_o

blow_v away_o the_o chaff_n to_o hell_n and_o damnation_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o meaning_n now_o for_o the_o use_n for_o we_o in_o england_n the_o case_n stand_v thus_o our_o church_n doubtless_o be_v god_n corn_n field_n and_o we_o be_v the_o corn_n heap_n of_o god_n and_o those_o brownist_n and_o sectary_n be_v blind_a and_o besot_v who_o can_v see_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o godly_a heap_n of_o god_n corn_n but_o withal_o we_o must_v confess_v we_o be_v full_a of_o chaff_n that_o be_v of_o profane_a and_o wicked_a hypocrite_n who_o heart_n and_o mind_n abound_v in_o

and_o sincere_a obedience_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v conscience_n of_o all_o sin_n now_o therefore_o see_v we_o be_v god_n corn_n field_n and_o we_o have_v some_o pure_a wheat_n among_o much_o chaff_n therefore_o god_n will_v winnow_v we_o to_o find_v out_o the_o corn_n if_o he_o have_v but_o one_o corn_n of_o wheat_n in_o a_o handful_n of_o chaff_n but_o one_o good_a man_n of_o many_o he_o will_v stir_v all_o the_o heap_n for_o those_o few_o corner_n he_o will_v not_o care_v to_o blow_v all_o the_o chaff_n to_o hell_n to_o find_v out_o those_o few_o corn_n of_o wheat_n to_o lay_v they_o up_o in_o heaven_n so_o that_o out_o of_o all_o question_n england_n be_v so_o full_a of_o chaff_n must_v look_v to_o be_v winnow_v now_o for_o the_o first_o fan_n of_o his_o word_n it_o have_v be_v

more_o ignorant_a more_o profane_a than_o ever_o they_o be_v yea_o wickedness_n grow_v and_o the_o chaff_n increase_v above_o the_o wheat_n be_v sure_a therefore_o that_o god_n will_v bring_v his_o second_o fan_n upon_o we_o because_o we_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o first_o and_o mild_a and_o gentle_a fan_n of_o his_o word_n to_o try_v and_o search_v we_o therefore_o we_o will_v bring_v the_o fearful_a fan_n of_o his_o judgement_n and_o with_o it_o he_o will_v blow_v soul_n and_o body_n into_o hell_n with_o those_o our_o sin_n and_o corruption_n which_o we_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o fan_n of_o god_n word_n to_o blow_v from_o us._n the_o first_o have_v so_o long_o blow_v in_o vain_a that_o the_o second_o must_v needs_o come_v unto_o we_o and_o it_o have_v already_o begin_v to_o
