that_o man_n shall_v be_v peace_n and_o now_o suppose_v any_o thing_n to_o befall_v that_o can_v happen_v we_o be_v arm_v against_o all_o cross_a accident_n in_o the_o world_n you_o can_v say_v nor_o suppose_v any_o thing_n too_o hard_o for_o god_n power_n and_o if_o it_o be_v in_o god_n power_n he_o will_v sure_o make_v good_a his_o promise_n what_o if_o one_o be_v snatch_v away_o in_o the_o prime_n of_o his_o year_n what_o if_o he_o be_v cut_v off_o in_o the_o field_n of_o battle_n what_o if_o he_o leave_v a_o miserable_a widow_n and_o child_n what_o if_o he_o leave_v a_o embroiled_a estate_n behind_o he_o what_o if_o he_o see_v the_o church_n of_o god_n totter_v and_o ready_a to_o fall_v after_o he_o yet_o if_o this_o be_v no_o fault_n of_o he_o if_o it_o be_v the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n thus_o to_o deal_v with_o the_o perfect_a and_o upright_a man_n to_o who_o god_n make_v this_o promise_n in_o my_o text_n whatsoever_o circumstance_n he_o die_v in_o it_o be_v

god_n promise_v josiah_n behold_v i_o will_v gather_v thou_o to_o they_o father_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v gather_v to_o thy_o grave_n in_o peace_n this_o god_n promise_v josiah_n you_o see_v not_o only_o in_o the_o general_a word_n of_o my_o text_n but_o also_o in_o a_o express_a and_o particular_a revelation_n from_o heaven_n and_o yet_o will_v you_o see_v how_o god_n perform_v with_o he_o it_o lie_v before_o you_o in_o the_o history_n of_o josias_n he_o die_v in_o all_o those_o sad_a circumstance_n that_o i_o mention_v he_o be_v crop_v off_o in_o the_o prime_n and_o flower_n of_o his_o age_n he_o die_v a_o bloody_a death_n in_o the_o field_n of_o battle_n he_o leave_v a_o desolate_a widow_n and_o poor_a infant_n behind_o he_o and_o a_o bleed_a state_n a_o totter_v church_n a_o ruine_v kingdom_n what_o can_v be_v say_v more_o only_o this_o that_o if_o god_n say_v true_a josiah_n die_v in_o peace_n but_o we_o be_v sure_a god_n be_v true_a therefore_o to_o die_v in_o peace_n we_o be_v sure_a be_v something_o else_o than_o what_o the_o world_n will_v imagine_v when_o god_n say_v the_o end_n of_o that_o man_n be_v peace_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o he_o shall_v die_v in_o his_o bed_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o he_o shall_v die_v in_o a_o good_a old_a age_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v his_o wife_n and_o child_n about_o he_o he_o mean_v not_o that_o he_o shall_v leave_v zion_n in_o peace_n and_o jerusalem_n in_o prosperity_n he_o mean_v none_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o belong_v to_o this_o world_n but_o god_n mean_v he_o shall_v have_v that_o

we_o can_v say_v what_o it_o be_v but_o we_o can_v say_v what_o it_o be_v not_o and_o therefore_o do_v common_o express_v it_o by_o negative_n by_o abstract_v from_o all_o the_o care_n and_o sorrow_n and_o fear_n and_o trouble_n and_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n we_o say_v first_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o heaven_n and_o then_o to_o be_v sure_a there_o be_v no_o evil_n whatsoever_o there_o be_v

my_o text_n to_o my_o think_n a_o true_o perfect_a and_o a_o upright_a man._n he_o be_v eminent_o such_o for_o he_o be_v perfect_a in_o that_o call_v which_o of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o apt_a to_o

because_o of_o the_o great_a opportunity_n th●t_v it_o give_v man_n to_o be_v dishonest_a if_o they_o please_v however_o i_o may_v be_v understand_v i_o be_o sure_a i_o mean_v this_o no_o otherwise_o

rather_o than_o to_o make_v they_o especial_o if_o he_o see_v they_o be_v unjust_a or_o unnecessary_a and_o i_o very_o believe_v in_o this_o kind_n he_o have_v prevent_v more_o suit_n than_o many_o a_o honest_a man_n be_v ever_o retain_v in_o as_o he_o be_v not_o greedy_a to_o undertake_v so_o he_o be_v most_o diligent_a to_o give_v a_o good_a dispatch_n he_o use_v his_o client_n as_o if_o he_o
