wonder_n you_o complain_v that_o it_o be_v a_o day_n of_o rebuke_n of_o trouble_n and_o blasphemy_n and_o what_o kind_n of_o blasphemy_n not_o from_o rabshakeh_n send_v from_o the_o king_n of_o

in_o a_o mean_a condition_n may_v be_v smother_v and_o choke_v with_o worldly_a greatness_n when_o i_o see_v how_o little_a of_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n there_o be_v and_o how_o carnal_a man_n mind_n be_v i_o fear_v we_o rise_v too_o soon_o and_o be_v come_v forth_o into_o power_n before_o we_o be_v fit_a for_o it_o or_o it_o fit_a for_o we_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o we_o may_v fear_v we_o shall_v lie_v down_o again_o in_o our_o old_a egyptian_a grave_n or_o a_o worse_a hell_n till_o by_o some_o sharp_a suffering_n our_o spirit_n be_v more_o refine_a we_o do_v hang_v

excellency_n of_o one_o though_o cloud_v with_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o other_o and_o then_o i_o will_v inquire_v whether_o this_o present_a dispose_n of_o power_n wherein_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v turn_v aside_o or_o turn_v back_o into_o worldly_a way_n and_o form_n or_o to_o make_v a_o halt_n in_o they_o and_o not_o to_o go_v forward_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o great_a wisdom_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o question_n be_v i._n first_o i_o question_v whether_o that_o saint_n as_o saint_n be_v fit_a to_o govern_v and_o be_o satisfy_v that_o they_o that_o offer_v at_o it_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a prepare_v for_o it_o have_v neither_o the_o wisdom_n nor_o power_n nor_o the_o love_n and_o righteousness_n that_o will_v fit_v they_o to_o govern_v in_o christ_n name_n and_o way_n and_o therefore_o in_o love_n to_o they_o i_o do_v dread_a the_o miserable_a consequence_n and_o miscarriage_n of_o such_o a_o power_n in_o such_o hand_n ii_o second_o i_o doubt_v whether_o the_o world_n be_v ripe_a for_o such_o a_o dispensation_n of_o power_n if_o we_o have_v it_o for_o such_o a_o dispensation_n when_o it_o come_v will_v make_v a_o separation_n betwixt_o the_o precious_a and_o the_o vile_a in_o person_n and_o thing_n and_o that_o spirit_n that_o pretend_v to_o such_o a_o dispensation_n do_v intend_v such_o a_o thing_n but_o yet_o not_o judge_v by_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n but_o by_o the_o outward_a likeness_n or_o unlikeness_n of_o thing_n and_o person_n to_o itself_o will_v thrust_v down_o violent_o all_o those_o person_n that_o differ_v from_o they_o and_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v offensive_a to_o they_o and_o as_o unreasonable_o exalt_v those_o that_o do_v agree_v with_o they_o and_o this_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o that_o dispensation_n which_o they_o profess_v will_v lead_v they_o to_o now_o while_o thing_n be_v thus_o indigested_a as_o they_o be_v and_o mix_v there_o be_v some_o notable_a good_a and_o great_a usefulness_n in_o many_o thing_n and_o person_n which_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o think_v their_o present_a stand_v to_o be_v in_o darkness_n and_o evil_n many_o good_a man_n and_o thing_n likewise_o lie_v scatter_v abroad_o in_o various_a form_n and_o mix_v with_o many_o evil_n and_o therefore_o for_o man_n be_v in_o present_a passion_n and_o offence_n and_o in_o great_a weakness_n and_o darkness_n to_o undertake_v to_o judge_v and_o separate_v all_o these_o what_o monstrous_a error_n must_v needs_o follow_v therefore_o i_o inquire_v whether_o while_o thing_n be_v in_o this_o confusion_n a_o way_n and_o spirit_n of_o government_n suitable_a to_o it_o and_o that_o have_v something_o of_o religion_n something_o of_o worldly_a policy_n be_v not_o best_o and_o whether_o those_o that_o be_v more_o spiritual_a in_o their_o design_n and_o in_o the_o eagerness_n of_o their_o spirit_n to_o such_o a_o way_n be_v not_o in_o mercy_n lay_v aside_o till_o they_o and_o the_o matter_n be_v ripe_a and_o fit_a and_o whether_o such_o have_v not_o reason_n to_o be_v content_a that_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v thrash_v a_o while_n long_o with_o the_o violence_n and_o hardness_n of_o its_o own_o way_n of_o government_n till_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v fan_v and_o till_o he_o come_v who_o fan_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n rather_o than_o to_o torture_v their_o spirit_n and_o the_o world_n too_o with_o that_o which_o they_o can_v possible_o effect_v nor_o the_o world_n bear_v the_o apostle_n give_v one_o reason_n more_o of_o subjection_n to_o the_o power_n that_o be_v ver_fw-la
