physician_n can_v make_v use_n of_o poison_n to_o expel_v poison_n so_o though_o sin_n in_o itself_o be_v so_o evil_a whole_o evil_a yet_o god_n almighty_a can_v make_v it_o serve_v his_o best_a and_o

more_o evident_o demonstrate_v that_o god_n do_v make_v use_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o wicked_a man_n for_o good_a purpose_n 1._o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o own_o glory_n 2._o for_o the_o

and_o long-suffering_a if_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n so_o rom._n 9_o 22._o how_o shall_v we_o know_v god_n patience_n if_o with_o much_o long_a suffering_n he_o do_v not_o endure_v the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n fit_v to_o destruction_n 2._o the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n god_n punish_a of_o sinner_n can_v not_o have_v be_v know_v without_o the_o permission_n of_o sin_n i_o will_v get_v myself_o glory_n over_o pharaoh_n how_o so_o by_o execute_v my_o judgement_n upon_o he_o for_o sin_n for_o this_o cause_n have_v i_o raise_v thou_o up_o that_o i_o may_v show_v forth_o my_o power_n in_o thou_o

here_o and_o hereafter_o 3._o the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o free_a grace_n appear_v in_o pardon_v sin_n how_o can_v that_o have_v be_v do_v if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o sin_n rom._n 5.20_o where_o sin_n abound_v grace_n do_v much_o more_o abound_v in_o a_o word_n all_o the_o riches_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o goodness_n and_o free_a grace_n to_o the_o creature_n suppose_v sin_n it_o can_v not_o be_v without_o sin_n have_v man_n remain_v without_o sin_n christ_n have_v never_o die_v there_o have_v be_v no_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 4._o the_o glory_n of_o god_n admirable_a wisdom_n appear_v in_o order_v and_o govern_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n the_o chief_a part_n of_o his_o wisdom_n consist_v in_o bring_v to_o pass_v those_o end_n by_o mean_n that_o seem_v most_o improbable_a and_o unlikely_a thus_o it_o be_v in_o matter_n of_o state-policy_n it_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o wisdom_n to_o know_v how_o to_o govern_v evil_a and_o discontent_a subject_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n so_o contrary_a in_o itself_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n as_o sin_n be_v nothing_o that_o god_n more_o hate_v now_o be_v not_o this_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o wisdom_n to_o make_v wicked_a man_n and_o devil_n themselves_o when_o they_o strive_v most_o to_o oppose_v his_o glory_n than_o to_o do_v he_o most_o honour_n i_o will_v give_v you_o several_a instance_n sometime_o in_o oppose_v the_o counsel_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o take_v they_o in_o their_o own_o craft_n and_o so_o he_o do_v pharaoh_n that_o what_o wicked_a man_n design_v for_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o people_n he_o can_v turn_v it_o to_o their_o advantage_n nazianzen_n say_v that_o the_o masterpiece_n of_o god_n wisdom_n be_v to_o make_v enemy_n do_v his_o own_o work_n last_o it_o make_v appear_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o power_n the_o greatness_n of_o his_o power_n appear_v in_o work_v without_o mean_n or_o contrary_a to_o mean_n it_o be_v to_o make_v a_o thing_n of_o nothing_o when_o god_n create_v the_o world_n yet_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v great_a power_n in_o turn_v evil_a to_o good_a than_o in_o make_v the_o world_n because_o here_o be_v nothing_o to_o contribute_v but_o all_o as_o may_v be_v to_o oppose_v it_o it_o be_v the_o almighty_a power_n of_o god_n that_o bring_v light_a out_o of_o darkness_n and_o evil_a out_o of_o good_a and_o the_o great_a good_a out_o of_o the_o great_a evil_n the_o second_o general_a head_n be_v to_o show_v the_o good_a that_o god_n work_v in_o the_o world_n by_o wicked_a men._n i_o beseech_v you_o to_o mind_v these_o thing_n 1._o god_n make_v use_v of_o wicked_a man_n sometime_o as_o the_o instrument_n of_o his_o vengeance_n to_o punish_v other_o wicked_a man_n thus_o many_o time_n he_o use_v evil_a angel_n but_o especial_o evil_a man_n to_o destroy_v his_o enemy_n one_o wicked_a man_n to_o execute_v his_o justice_n upon_o another_o so_o he_o do_v when_o he_o raise_v up_o great_a prince_n to_o be_v instrument_n of_o his_o vengeance_n and_o plague_n upon_o a_o wicked_a nation_n thus_o god_n raise_v up_o nabuchadnezzar_n to_o punish_v israel_n when_o they_o have_v sin_v but_o he_o dream_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o serve_v god_n end_n but_o only_o his_o own_o ambition_n but_o yet_o he_o be_v god_n instrument_n many_o time_n we_o be_v ready_a to_o quarrel_v at_o god_n providence_n when_o we_o see_v wicked_a prince_n conquer_v and_o destroy_v and_o invade_v when_o they_o have_v no_o just_a right_n but_o we_o consider_v not_o they_o be_v act_v by_o a_o high_a hand_n sometime_o god_n do_v it_o by_o private_a man_n sometime_o he_o raise_v up_o one_o oppressor_n to_o punish_v another_o oppressor_n sometime_o he_o raise_v up_o rebellious_a child_n to_o punish_v parent_n who_o have_v be_v disobedient_a when_o they_o be_v child_n sometime_o he_o punish_v some_o person_n with_o treachery_n and_o unfaithfulness_n which_o have_v be_v former_o treacherous_a and_o unfaithful_a themselves_o 2._o god_n make_v use_v of_o the_o sin_n of_o wicked_a man_n to_o chastise_v and_o punish_v his_o own_o people_n when_o they_o have_v offend_v and_o sin_v against_o he_o god_n make_v the_o sin_n of_o wicked_a man_n as_o rod_n to_o chastise_v they_o and_o bring_v they_o back_o from_o their_o wander_n i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o or_o two_o famous_a instance_n of_o this_o isa_n 10.5_o o_o assyrian_n the_o rod_n of_o my_o anger_n the_o staff_n in_o their_o hand_n be_v my_o indignation_n see_v the_o 6_o &_o 7_o to_o the_o 12._o ver_fw-la god_n tell_v we_o he_o have_v a_o work_n to_o do_v by_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n namely_o to_o punish_v a_o hypocritical_a nation_n but_o his_o design_n be_v only_o to_o kill_v and_o destroy_v another_o instance_n you_o have_v 2_o sam._n 12.11_o and_o so_o on_o you_o know_v david_n have_v sin_v a_o great_a sin_n a_o indelible_a sin_n that_o god_n always_o remember_v though_o upon_o david_n repentance_n god_n pardon_v he_o yet_o he_o tell_v he_o he_o will_v raise_v up_o a_o sword_n out_o of_o his_o own_o bowel_n to_o correct_v he_o first_o one_o of_o his_o own_o son_n incestuous_o ravish_v his_o own_o sister_n than_o absalon_n murder_n his_o brother_n than_o god_n raise_v up_o this_o son_n to_o be_v a_o scourge_n to_o he_o by_o lie_v with_o his_o wife_n and_o concubine_n and_o after_o by_o raise_v up_o a_o long_a rebellion_n against_o he_o and_o how_o many_o sin_n be_v commit_v in_o these_o matter_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o god_n make_v use_n of_o for_o chastise_v of_o david_n and_o bring_v he_o to_o repentance_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o familiar_a instance_n to_o illustrate_v this_o to_o you_o from_o a_o leach_n draw_v of_o blood_n the_o physician_n apply_v they_o they_o draw_v blood_n to_o satisfy_v their_o natural_a
