discourse_n what_o his_o present_a apprehension_n be_v concern_v a_o very_a great_a persecution_n which_o shall_v fall_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o these_o nation_n of_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n of_o which_o he_o have_v ●eard_v he_o speak_v with_o great_a confidence_n many_o year_n before_o when_o ●e_n be_v in_o the_o high_a and_o full_a state_n of_o outward_a peace_n and_o settlement_n and_o whether_o he_o do_v believe_v those_o sad_a time_n to_o be_v past_a or_o that_o they_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v he_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v and_o that_o he_o do_v as_o confident_o expect_v it_o as_o ever_o he_o have_v do_v add_v that_o this_o sad_a persecution_n will_v fall_v upon_o all_o the_o protestant_a church_n of_o europe_n his_o friend_n argue_v that_o he_o hope_v the_o affliction_n may_v now_o be_v over_o and_o be_v intend_v of_o our_o late_a calamitous_a civil_a war_n the_o reverend_a prelate_n turn_v towards_o he_o and_o fix_v his_o eye_n upon_o he_o with_o that_o serious_a and_o severe_a look_v which_o he_o usual_o have_v when_o he_o speak_v god_n word_n and_o not_o his_o own_o and_o when_o the_o power_n of_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v upon_o he_o and_o to_o constrain_v he_o to_o speak_v say_v thus_o fool_n not_o yourself_o with_o such_o hope_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o all_o you_o have_v yet_o see_v have_v be_v but_o the_o begin_n of_o sorrow_n to_o what_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v upon_o the_o protestant_a church_n of_o christ_n who_o will_v ere_o long_o fall_v under_o a_o sharp_a persecution_n than_o ever_o yet_o have_v be_v upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o say_v he_o to_o he_o look_v you_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o outward_a court_n but_o a_o worshipper_n in_o the_o trmple_n before_o the_o altar_n for_o christ_n will_v measure_v all_o those_o that_o profess_v his_o name_n and_o call_v themselves_o his_o people_n and_o the_o outward_a worshipper_n he_o will_v leave_v out_o to_o be_v tread_v down_o by_o the_o gentile_n the_o outward_a court_n say_v he_o be_v the_o formal_a christian_a who_o religion_n lie_v in_o perform_v the_o outside_n duty_n of_o christianity_n without_o have_v a_o inward_a life_n and_o power_n of_o faith_n and_o love_n unite_n they_o to_o christ_n and_o these_o god_n will_v leave_v to_o be_v tread_v down_o and_o sweep_v away_o by_o the_o gentile_n but_o the_o worshipper_n within_o the_o temple_n and_o before_o the_o altar_n be_v those_o who_o do_v indeed_o worship_n god_n to_o spirit_n and_o truth_n who_o soul_n be_v make_v his_o temple_n and_o he_o be_v honour_v and_o adore_v in_o the_o most_o inward_a thought_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o sacrifice_v their_o lust_n and_o vile_a affection_n yea_o and_o their_o own_o will_n to_o he_o and_o these_o god_n will_v hide_v in_o the_o hollow_a of_o his_o hand_n and_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v one_o great_a difference_n between_o this_o last_o and_o all_o the_o other_o precede_a persecution_n for_o in_o the_o former_a the_o most_o eminent_a and_o spiritual_a minister_n and_o christian_n do_v general_o suffer_v most_o and_o be_v most_o violent_o fall_v upon_o but_o in_o this_o last_o persecution_n these_o shall_v be_v preserve_v by_o god_n as_o a_o seed_n to_o partake_v of_o that_o glory_n which_o shall_v immediate_o follow_v and_o come_v upon_o the_o church_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o this_o storm_n shall_v be_v over_o for_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o sharp_a so_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o short_a persecution_n of_o they_o all_o and_o shall_v only_o take_v away_o the_o gross_a hypocrite_n and_o formal_a professor_n but_o the_o true_a spiritual_a believer_n shall_v be_v preserve_v till_o the_o calamity_n be_v overpast_a his_o friend_n then_o ask_v he_o by_o what_o mean_n or_o instrument_n this_o great_a trial_n shall_v be_v bring_v on_o he_o answer_v by_o the_o papist_n his_o friend_n reply_v that_o it_o seem_v very_o improbable_a they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o since_o they_o be_v now_o little_o countenance_v and_o but_o few_o in_o these_o nation_n and_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n be_v more_o set_v against_o they_o than_o ever_o since_o the_o reformation_n he_o answer_v again_o that_o it_o will_v be_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o papist_n and_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o sudden_a massacre_n and_o that_o the_o then_o pope_n shall_v be_v the_o chief_a instrument_n of_o it_o he_o also_o add_v that_o the_o papist_n be_v in_o his_o opinion_n the_o gentile_n speak_v of_o rev._n 11._o to_o who_o the_o outward_a court_n shall_v be_v leave_v that_o they_o may_v tread_v it_o under_o foot_n they_o have_v receive_v the_o gentile_n worship_n in_o their_o adore_a image_n and_o saint_n depart_v and_o in_o take_v to_o themselves_o many_o
