A67047	A word in season. Or Three great duties of Christians in the worst of times viz. abiding in Christ, thirsting after his institutions, and submission to his providences. The first opened, from 1 John 2.28. The second from Psal. 42.1,2. The third from Jer. 14.19. By a servant of Christs in the work of his Gospel. To which is added, by way of appendix, the advice of some ministers to their people for the reviving the power and practice of godliness in their families.

part_n of_o it_o who_o suffering_n may_v be_v sad_a enough_o and_o yet_o the_o promise_n not_o fail_v 3._o a_o three_o error_n may_v be_v as_o to_o person_n and_o that_o 1._o as_o to_o person_n that_o shall_v receive_v this_o mercy_n 2._o as_o to_o person_n that_o shall_v be_v god_n instrument_n in_o bring_v 〈◊〉_d about_o the_o desire_a mercy_n 1._o as_o to_o person_n that_o shall_v receive_v th●_n desire_a mercy_n promise_n as_o to_o outward_a mercy_n be_v more_o limit_v to_o the_o purity_n and_o holiness_n of_o a_o people_n than_o those_o make_v as_o to_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a good_a thing_n god_n have_v say_v i_o will_v heal_v your_o backslide_n and_o god_n will_v save_v his_o people_n eternal_o notwithstanding_o their_o backslide_n but_o for_o outward_a prosperity_n and_o selicity_n it_o be_v not_o where_o promise_v to_o a_o backslide_n and_o impure_a people_n suppose_v therefore_o a_o people_n that_o radical_o be_v good_a and_o the_o lord_n people_n but_o a_o revolt_a backslide_n people_n and_o continue_v in_o their_o revolting_n without_o dup_n repentance_n if_o they_o build_v up_o expectation_n for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o divine_a promise_n as_o to_o outward_a prosperity_n and_o felicity_n while_o their_o soum_n be_v not_o take_v off_o but_o boll_v into_o they_o they_o will_v most_o probable_o be_v disappoint_v 2._o as_o to_o person_n who_o shall_v be_v god_n instrument_n in_o bring_v about_o the_o mercy_n desire_v and_o here_o let_v i_o only_o observe_v two_o thing_n to_o you_o 1._o no_o great_a expectation_n can_v be_v build_v upon_o profane_a person_n i_o do_v not_o say_v no_o great_a thing_n for_o the_o good_a of_o god_n people_n may_v be_v do_v by_o they_o i_o know_v cyrus_n be_v god_n servant_n to_o proclaim_v liberty_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o ofttimes_o god_n have_v make_v the_o wrath_n of_o man_n to_o praise_v he_o pharaoh_n shall_v keep_v the_o seed_n of_o jacob_n alive_a and_o provide_v for_o they_o in_o a_o time_n of_o famine_n but_o i_o say_v expectation_n can_v be_v raise_v on_o these_o foundation_n if_o the_o assyrian_a do_v god_n work_n howbeit_o he_o mean_v not_o so_o say_v god_n as_o the_o wife_n falconer_n make_v use_v of_o the_o ravenous_a quality_n of_o the_o hawk_n to_o serve_v his_o turn_n and_o make_v it_o get_v that_o for_o he_o which_o the_o bird_n get_v for_o itself_o so_o the_o wise_a god_n will_v make_v use_n of_o a_o assyrian_a a_o egyptian_a a_o cyrus_n a_o utter_a enemy_n to_o his_o people_n and_o make_v his_o selfish_n politic_a design_n to_o serve_v his_o everlasting_a purpose_n but_o here_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o god_n people_n to_o build_v expectation_n 2._o nay_o second_o be_v the_o person_n never_o so_o holy_a that_o appear_v to_o we_o probable_a to_o do_v we_o good_a no_o certain_a expectation_n can_v be_v raise_v upon_o they_o who_o will_v have_v think_v that_o moses_n and_o aaron_n shall_v not_o have_v be_v god_n instrument_n to_o have_v carry_v his_o people_n over_o jordan_n and_o set_v their_o foot_n in_o canaan_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o they_o sin_v at_o the_o water_n of_o meribah_n and_o so_o die_v on_o mount_n nebo_n holy_a man_n may_v fail_v and_o provoke_v god_n to_o cut_v they_o off_o so_o that_o to_o build_v expectation_n upon_o any_o particular_a person_n be_v to_o lay_v a_o foundation_n for_o our_o disappointment_n 4._o the_o four_o and_o last_o error_n may_v be_v as_o to_o particular_a mean_n it_o be_v true_a god_n do_v most_o of_o his_o work_n by_o mean_n but_o he_o wonderful_o vary_v in_o the_o nature_n and_o kind_n of_o mean_n he_o use_v sometime_o he_o do_v it_o by_o what_o we_o call_v fair_a mean_n sometime_o by_o force_n and_o what_o we_o call_v foul_a mean_n the_o people_n of_o israel_n shall_v be_v deliver_v our_o of_o egypt_n
