glory_n of_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n welfare_n will_v secure_v charity_n so_o 2._o prudence_n will_v temper_v and_o guide_v man_n zeal_n in_o their_o charitable_a endeavour_n to_o reform_v other_o zeal_n be_v one_o of_o those_o thing_n of_o a_o indifferent_a nature_n neither_o good_a nor_o bad_a in_o itself_o but_o may_v be_v either_o according_a to_o the_o end_n or_o object_n to_o which_o it_o be_v direct_v and_o as_o that_o zeal_n which_o be_v fix_v upon_o proper_a object_n preserve_v within_o its_o due_a limit_n and_o level_v at_o good_a end_n be_v high_o serviceable_a to_o the_o noble_a purpose_n of_o religion_n so_o a_o mistake_n in_o these_o qualification_n or_o a_o pretence_n to_o they_o when_o nothing_o less_o be_v intend_v have_v be_v and_o may_v prove_v of_o the_o most_o pernicious_a consequence_n to_o the_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n of_o church_n and_o state_n as_o this_o nation_n have_v former_o find_v by_o woeful_a experience_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n we_o ought_v ever_o to_o suffer_v prudence_n to_o conduct_v our_o zeal_n to_o render_v it_o useful_a to_o the_o best_a purpose_n god_n glory_n our_o neighbour_n good_a and_o our_o own_o eternal_a felicity_n and_o if_o these_o excellent_a end_n be_v our_o ultimate_a design_n we_o shall_v be_v more_o zealous_a to_o amend_v our_o own_o fault_n than_o either_o to_o pry_v into_o the_o manner_n of_o other_o or_o to_o make_v our_o self_n over-busei_a in_o reform_v they_o beyond_o our_o proper_a sphere_n and_o station_n however_o this_o will_v make_v we_o infinite_o careful_a in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o reform_v ourselves_o that_o by_o the_o strictness_n of_o our_o virtue_n and_o the_o exemplarity_n of_o our_o life_n we_o may_v be_v instrumental_a to_o reform_v other_o and_o if_o the_o unalterable_a obstinacy_n of_o sinner_n render_v this_o ineffectual_a we_o may_v then_o after_o our_o private_a endeavour_n warrantable_o inform_v the_o magistrate_n of_o those_o scandalous_a criminal_n that_o come_v to_o our_o cognizance_n that_o their_o deed_n may_v receive_v a_o deserve_a retribution_n and_o to_o do_v this_o hearty_o and_o impartial_o as_o we_o have_v the_o noble_a encouragement_n so_o we_o have_v the_o most_o indispensible_a obligation_n imaginable_a which_o be_v the_o last_o thing_n i_o have_v to_o offer_v and_o so_o i_o shall_v conclude_v and_o indeed_o if_o we_o set_v aside_o all_o other_o consideration_n yet_o the_o argument_n of_o gratitude_n to_o god_n for_o the_o many_o signal_n mercy_n and_o deliverance_n he_o have_v of_o late_a mercy_n and_o deliverance_n he_o have_v of_o late_o wrought_v for_o we_o will_v engage_v we_o to_o use_v all_o possible_a care_n that_o we_o provoke_v he_o not_o again_o to_o inflict_v heavy_a judgement_n upon_o we_o will_v warn_v we_o to_o sin_n no_o more_o presumptuous_o lest_o a_o worse_a thing_n come_v unto_o we_o i_o must_v confess_v it_o do_v not_o always_o follow_v that_o a_o people_n be_v therefore_o reform_v and_o reconcile_v to_o god_n because_o he_o restore_v peace_n within_o their_o walk_n and_o plenteousness_n within_o their_o palace_n because_o he_o give_v they_o beauty_n for_o ash_n because_o he_o turn_v their_o captivity_n as_o the_o river_n in_o the_o south_n remove_v his_o judgement_n and_o pour_v his_o temporal_a blessing_n upon_o they_o no_o he_o often_o do_v this_o to_o try_v whether_o those_o who_o his_o judgement_n will_v not_o awaken_v and_o amend_v who_o grow_v hard_o under_o the_o stroke_n of_o his_o displeasure_n may_v not_o be_v soften_v and_o melt_v into_o repentance_n by_o the_o beam_n of_o his_o restore_a mercy_n and_o lovingkindness_n and_o if_o this_o fail_v they_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o last_o overture_n which_o god_n intend_v to_o ma●●_n they_o for_o their_o reformation_n god_n have_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o ●●_o already_o whereof_o we_o rejoice_v an●_n since_o his_o judgement_n can_v not_o his_o goodness_n be_v more_o merciful_o design_v to_o lead_v we_o to_o repentance_n and_o amendment_n but_o if_o neither_o the_o sharp_a nor_o the_o gentle_a method_n can_v reclaim_v we_o if_o we_o will_v yet_o sin_v presumptuous_o and_o those_o who_o have_v authority_n to_o repress_v and_o punish_v will_v yet_o suffer_v sin_n to_o swagger_v and_o be_v insolent_a or_o those_o who_o can_v and_o aught_o will_v not_o inform_v the_o magistrate_n that_o the_o impious_a may_v receive_v their_o deserve_a punishment_n in_o this_o case_n we_o may_v expect_v that_o god_n shall_v assert_v his_o own_o injure_a authority_n by_o cut_v we_o off_o from_o be_v a_o people_n as_o he_o once_o do_v that_o ungovernable_a nation_n the_o jew_n and_o make_v we_o a_o proverb_n of_o reproach_n and_o a_o hiss_a to_o all_o the_o country_n that_o be_v round_o about_o we_o in_o fine_a which_o be_v the_o great_a of_o all_o infelicity_n on_o this_o side_n hell_n that_o he_o shall_v for_o ever_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o bless_a light_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o give_v it_o to_o a_o nation_n that_o will_v bring_v forth_o the_o much_o better_a fruit_n of_o it_o and_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o avoid_v that_o dismal_a catastrophe_n and_o to_o secure_v the_o blessing_n of_o peace_n we_o now_o enjoy_v with_o all_o its_o happy_a effect_n to_o we_o and_o our_o posterity_n which_o be_v to_o
