no_o better_a grace_n but_o to_o sell_v away_o their_o birthright_n use_v 2_o a_o second_o use_v hereof_o serve_v for_o a_o admonition_n to_o you_o all_o to_o take_v heed_n you_o harbour_v not_o this_o sin_n lest_o you_o come_v to_o see_v it_o with_o grief_n &_o shame_n when_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o thou_o than_o that_o be_v privy_a to_o thy_o heart_n thou_o prefer_v this_o day_n the_o

three_o enemy_n be_v irreligious_a friend_n the_o near_a the_o worse_o a_o religious_a young_a man_n can_v have_v a_o great_a enemy_n to_o draw_v he_o to_o profaneness_n than_o a_o irreligious_a father_n or_o mother_n or_o brother_n or_o sister_n a_o religious_a husband_n can_v have_v a_o more_o pestilent_a enemy_n to_o cool_v his_o zeal_n and_o love_n to_o religion_n than_o a_o irreligious_a wife_n set_a down_o this_o for_o a_o certainty_n you_o that_o be_v religious_a that_o your_o great_a enemy_n shall_v be_v those_o of_o your_o own_o house_n that_o be_v irreligious_a use_v 3_o a_o

there_o be_v many_o at_o this_o day_n which_o live_v among_o we_o who_o if_o they_o can_v perform_v any_o outward_a show_n of_o repentance_n as_o to_o sigh_v or_o groan_v and_o special_o to_o shed_v

they_o be_v true_a repentance_n and_o accept_v of_o god_n but_o his_o be_v counterfeit_n and_o he_o and_o it_o both_o reject_v example_n we_o have_v of_o orpah_n the_o sister_n of_o ruth_n 7-14_a ruth_n 1_o 7-14_a how_o she_o go_v far_o in_o show_n she_o leave_v her_o country_n she_o travel_v along_o she_o weep_v aswell_o as_o ruth_n yet_o in_o the_o end_n a_o few_o word_n and_o reason_n persuade_v she_o to_o turn_v back_o so_o there_o be_v many_o can_v make_v a_o fair_a show_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n but_o either_o carnal_a reason_n or_o irreligious_a friend_n or_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o draw_v they_o quite_o away_o this_o appear_v in_o that_o unpardonable_a sin_n 6.4_o heb._n 6.4_o where_o be_v show_v how_o first_o they_o may_v be_v enlighten_v with_o we_o endue_v with_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o word_n that_o have_v be_v preach_v unto_o they_o second_o they_o may_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n that_o be_v 8.13_o luke_n 8.13_o they_o may_v glad_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o rejoice_v in_o it_o as_o our_o saviour_n describe_v in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o seed_n cast_v into_o stony_a ground_n three_o they_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v of_o diverse_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o namely_o lighten_v with_o knowledge_n and_o joy_n in_o their_o understanding_n as_o also_o of_o gift_n of_o preach_v of_o tongue_n and_o the_o like_a fourthlie_o they_o may_v taste_v of_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v they_o may_v not_o only_o know_v god_n by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v fearful_a to_o the_o sinner_n but_o by_o a_o more_o sweet_a understanding_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o say_v come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o travel_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v so_o call_v it_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n as_o that_o glad_a tiding_n of_o salvation_n five_o they_o may_v taste_v of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v that_o be_v they_o may_v know_v and_o confess_v that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v eternal_a life_n to_o all_o that_o faithful_o believe_v and_o live_v in_o it_o thus_o may_v we_o see_v how_o far_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v go_v and_o make_v show_v in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n 6.20_o mark_n 6.20_o another_o example_n we_o have_v in_o herod_n who_o be_v say_v to_o hear_v john_n baptist_n yea_o far_o he_o hear_v he_o glad_o yea_o he_o do_v reverence_v he_o yea_o which_o be_v more_o he_o reform_v many_o thing_n by_o his_o preach_n to_o he_o that_o before_o

account_n as_o they_o make_v of_o it_o yet_o it_o will_v shut_v they_o out_o of_o god_n kingdom_n and_o the_o same_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o galathian_o 5.19_o galath_n 5.19_o reckon_v up_o diverse_a sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n set_v fornication_n in_o the_o forefront_n almost_o of_o all_o which_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o sin_n of_o light_a account_n the_o like_v you_o shall_v read_v in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n 5.3_o ephes_n 5.3_o where_o he_o have_v exhort_v they_o to_o holiness_n of_o life_n labour_v to_o draw_v they_o from_o such_o vice_n as_o will_v hinder_v this_o work_n of_o god_n in_o they_o among_o which_o he_o begin_v with_o the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n and_o this_o he_o do_v so_o much_o the_o rather_o in_o that_o it_o be_v of_o many_o not_o count_v a_o sin_n of_o any_o great_a reckon_n and_o so_o howsoever_o many_o account_n it_o a_o light_a sin_n at_o this_o day_n yet_o know_v you_o it_o be_v a_o heinous_a sin_n a_o most_o grievous_a in_o god_n sight_n i_o will_v not_o wish_v any_o of_o you_o to_o think_v that_o i_o do_v aim_n at_o any_o one_o particular_a man_n for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v i_o be_o but_o a_o stranger_n and_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n before_o who_o we_o do_v stand_v i_o judge_v reverent_o of_o you_o all_o but_o in_o discharge_n of_o my_o duty_n and_o conscience_n i_o labour_v to_o show_v you_o the_o horriblenesse_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n and_o all_o other_o of_o that_o kind_n the_o reason_n to_o press_v this_o doctrine_n upon_o our_o conscience_n be_v diverse_a reas_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o that_o take_v pleasure_n in_o this_o sin_n carry_v the_o mark_n of_o a_o reprobate_n for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o nature_n to_o frame_v our_o action_n to_o the_o will_n and_o like_n of_o our_o friend_n so_o be_v it_o a_o principal_a property_n of_o god_n child_n to_o frame_v his_o will_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n &_o contrariwise_o a_o great_a sign_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n to_o frame_v his_o action_n to_o his_o own_o like_n now_o of_o all_o action_n a_o special_a and_o principal_a one_o be_v to_o keep_v and_o possess_v our_o body_n in_o chastity_n 4.3_o 1._o thess_n 4.3_o according_a as_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v the_o thessalonian_o tell_v they_o that_o if_o they_o will_v frame_v their_o life_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n they_o must_v abstain_v from_o fornication_n and_o know_v how_o to_o possess_v their_o vessel_n in_o holiness_n and_o honour_n reas_n 2_o a_o second_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o by_o commit_v this_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o worship_n do_v to_o the_o devil_n shall_v i_o take_v say_v the_o apostle_n the_o member_n of_o christ_n 6.15_o 1._o cor._n 6.15_o and_o make_v they_o the_o member_n of_o a_o harlot_n now_o a_o harlot_n be_v a_o member_n of_o satan_n so_o that_o he_o that_o prostrate_v his_o body_n to_o a_o harlot_n do_v prostrate_v it_o to_o the_o devil_n reas_n 3_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o the_o lord_n special_o reserve_v to_o be_v punish_v by_o himself_o it_o be_v record_v by_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n who_o say_v 13.4_o hebr._n 13.4_o but_o whoremonger_n and_o adulterer_n god_n will_v judge_v and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o may_v be_v special_o these_o two_o the_o former_a reas_n 1_o because_o the_o whoremaster_n and_o fornicator_n be_v grow_v to_o such_o a_o cunning_a as_o woeful_a experience_n show_v the_o father_n he_o get_v a_o child_n and_o the_o son_n must_v take_v it_o on_o he_o the_o master_n he_o get_v a_o bastard_n and_o the_o servant_n must_v marry_v she_o to_o blind_v the_o world_n withal_o but_o let_v they_o know_v though_o they_o can_v hide_v it_o from_o the_o world_n and_o avoid_v the_o punishment_n of_o man_n yet_o they_o can_v hide_v it_o from_o god_n who_o will_v be_v revenge_v and_o severe_o punish_v it_o reas_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o go_v so_o light_a away_o unpunished_a by_o the_o magistrate_n therefore_o the_o lord_n himself_o will_v take_v it_o into_o his_o own_o hand_n who_o will_v not_o let_v it_o go_v unpunished_a yet_o god_n and_o your_o conscience_n do_v know_v how_o small_a account_n you_o make_v of_o this_o sin_n reas_n 4_o a_o four_o reason_n to_o dissuade_v we_o from_o this_o sin_n be_v because_o it_o brand_v he_o that_o live_v in_o it_o for_o a_o hypocrite_n though_o he_o make_v never_o such_o show_n of_o religion_n outward_o this_o the_o preacher_n show_v when_o he_o say_v and_o i_o find_v more_o bitter_a than_o death_n the_o woman_n who_o heart_n be_v as_o net_n and_o snare_n and_o her_o hand_n as_o band_n he_o that_o be_v good_a before_o god_n shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o she_o but_o the_o sinner_n shall_v be_v take_v by_o she_o i_o pray_v you_o read_v it_o and_o note_v it_o well_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o by_o be_v good_a before_o god_n be_v mean_v a_o sound_n sincere_a religious_a man_n who_o the_o lord_n will_v so_o preserve_v that_o though_o he_o may_v be_v overtake_v with_o this_o sin_n yet_o shall_v he_o not_o live_v and_o delight_n in_o it_o and_o hence_o we_o see_v why_o the_o lord_n permit_v so_o many_o harlot_n in_o the_o land_n because_o there_o be_v so_o many_o hypocrite_n among_o us._n reas_n 5_o a_o five_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o pluck_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n on_o the_o land_n as_o the_o prophet_n jeremie_n say_v 23.10_o jerem._n 23.10_o that_o adultery_n will_v cause_v the_o land_n to_o mourn_v and_o as_o hoseah_n say_v the_o lord_n have_v a_o controversy_n with_o the_o land_n a_o capital_a sin_n be_v because_o there_o be_v whore_v commit_v therein_o and_o for_o experience_n we_o need_v but_o look_v on_o this_o city_n on_o which_o the_o lord_n continue_v one_o of_o the_o arrow_n of_o his_o wrath_n i_o mean_v the_o plague_n and_o pestilence_n know_v you_o that_o whoredom_n be_v a_o capital_a sin_n that_o provoke_v the_o lord_n for_o this_o sin_n be_v a_o special_a mean_n to_o pull_v down_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o send_v and_o continue_v this_o kind_n of_o punishment_n so_o that_o when_o you_o hear_v the_o plague_n increase_n in_o your_o city_n you_o may_v thank_v the_o whoremonger_n for_o it_o reas_n 6_o a_o six_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o fornicator_n be_v fit_a for_o nothing_o but_o for_o hell_n he_o be_v neither_o fit_n for_o god_n nor_o for_o himself_o nor_o for_o the_o land_n not_o for_o god_n for_o all_o he_o do_v be_v accurse_v yea_o his_o very_a prayer_n he_o make_v if_o he_o make_v any_o not_o for_o himself_o for_o thereby_o he_o consume_v his_o body_n and_o waste_v his_o good_n and_o hasten_v beggary_n or_o some_o evil_a and_o untimely_a end_n upon_o himself_o not_o fit_a for_o the_o land_n for_o he_o hasten_v and_o procure_v god_n wrath_n and_o heavy_a displeasure_n against_o it_o the_o use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n use_v 1_o first_o it_o serve_v for_o a_o warn_n to_o such_o as_o be_v taint_v with_o this_o sin_n that_o they_o labour_v in_o prayer_n to_o god_n to_o work_v a_o detestation_n of_o it_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o harlot_n for_o she_o will_v not_o leave_v thou_o till_o she_o have_v get_v the_o blood_n of_o thy_o soul_n yea_o as_o solomon_n say_v 9.18_o prou._n 9.18_o her_o guest_n be_v in_o the_o depth_n of_o hell_n meaning_n they_o be_v as_o sure_a to_o go_v to_o hell_n except_o they_o repent_v as_o if_o they_o be_v there_o already_o remember_v yet_o god_n offer_v grace_n yea_o this_o day_n i_o stand_v here_o as_o god_n minister_v to_o entreat_v thou_o as_o thou_o have_v any_o love_n to_o god_n any_o fear_n of_o his_o judgement_n any_o hope_n to_o appear_v before_o christ_n jesus_n with_o any_o comfort_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n or_o any_o care_n to_o be_v save_v to_o get_v out_o of_o this_o sin_n betimes_o else_o be_v sure_a in_o time_n it_o will_v bring_v thou_o to_o damnation_n use_v 2_o a_o second_o use_v hereof_o serve_v to_o reproove_v such_o as_o make_v light_a account_n of_o it_o and_o count_v it_o but_o a_o trick_n of_o youth_n oh_o vile_a
