psal_n 6.1_o lord_n rebuke_v we_o not_o in_o thy_o wrath_n and_o as_o the_o prophet_n in_o jer._n 17.17_o use_v be_v not_o a_o terror_n unto_o i_o o_o lord_n but_o now_o because_o tender_a conscience_n be_v ready_a to_o think_v when_o god_n rebuke_n they_o or_o lay_v any_o affliction_n upon_o they_o that_o it_o be_v to_o ruin_v and_o destroy_v they_o as_o the_o israelite_n say_v in_o deut._n 1.27_o because_o the_o lord_n hate_v we_o therefore_o he_o bring_v we_o out_o of_o egypt_n in_o every_o straight_o they_o be_v in_o they_o conceit_a god_n hate_v they_o in_o it_o though_o god_n have_v do_v they_o good_a so_o many_o time_n and_o have_v not_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o our_o unbelieved_a heart_n and_o the_o murmur_a of_o our_o spirit_n in_o our_o affliction_n oh_o take_v heed_n of_o such_o unbelieved_a reason_n they_o be_v very_o much_o displease_v unto_o god_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o rebuke_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o godly_a and_o the_o wicked_a though_o perhaps_o rebuke_v both_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o affliction_n as_o the_o apothecary_n break_v bezoar_n stone_n to_o powder_n but_o be_v very_o careful_a of_o it_o simile_n simile_n and_o will_v not_o lose_v the_o least_o grain_n of_o it_o so_o the_o lord_n people_n even_o in_o the_o furnace_n be_v as_o dear_a to_o he_o &_o have_v the_o most_o experience_n of_o god_n love_n to_o they_o then_o that_o ever_o they_o have_v jacob_n when_o he_o lie_v upon_o the_o ground_n and_o have_v the_o stone_n for_o his_o pillow_n even_o than_o he_o have_v that_o heavenly_a vision_n from_o god_n but_o now_o the_o question_n be_v quest_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v whether_o those_o rebuke_n that_o be_v upon_o we_o be_v intend_v for_o our_o good_a or_o our_o hurt_n our_o desolation_n or_o our_o restoration_n it_o may_v be_v know_v thus_o if_o god_n displeasure_n be_v such_o answ_n that_o we_o find_v he_o more_o set_v against_o our_o sin_n than_o our_o person_n it_o be_v a_o arument_n he_o intend_v our_o good_a not_o our_o hurt_n in_o his_o rebuke_n upon_o we_o but_o you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v as_o difficult_a as_o the_o other_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v god_n aim_v at_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o our_o person_n thus_o if_o his_o rebuke_n work_v we_o to_o a_o humiliation_n for_o our_o sin_n a_o resignation_n of_o ourselves_o up_o unto_o god_n dispose_n and_o to_o accept_v of_o the_o punishment_n of_o our_o iniquity_n this_o be_v a_o argument_n god_n aim_v at_o our_o sin_n and_o not_o at_o our_o person_n in_o his_o rebuke_n and_o so_o in_o they_o our_o good_a and_o not_o our_o hurt_n but_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o wicked_a man_n in_o their_o rebuke_n to_o cry_v out_o of_o their_o sin_n it_o be_v their_o sin_n that_o bring_v this_o upon_o they_o but_o here_o the_o difference_n be_v thus_o discern_v first_o they_o cry_v out_o of_o their_o sin_n but_o per_fw-la accidence_n but_o of_o the_o judgement_n per_fw-la se_fw-la as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v the_o judgement_n trouble_v they_o more_o than_o their_o sin_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o judgement_n but_o the_o godly_a cry_n out_o of_o their_o sin●_n per_fw-la se_fw-la and_o of_o the_o judgement_n per_fw-mi accidence_n their_o sin_n trouble_v they_o second_o a_o child_n of_o god_n more_o desire_v the_o sanctification_n of_o a_o affliction_n than_o the_o remove_n of_o it_o but_o the_o wicked_a care_n not_o for_o remove_v the_o cause_n of_o judgement_n even_o sin_o so_o the_o smart_a the_o correction_n may_v be_v take_v off_o it_o follow_v expos_fw-la 1_o among_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n have_v i_o make_v know_v that_o which_o shall_v sure_o be_v some_o conceive_v that_o these_o word_n be_v speak_v as_o the_o aggravation_n of_o this_o people_n misery_n and_o if_o so_o the_o note_n from_o they_o be_v obs_n 1_o that_o god_n smite_v not_o a_o people_n with_o judgement_n before_o he_o w●●ns_v they_o off_o judgement_n among_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n have_v i_o

that_o when_o god_n warn_v they_o he_o be_v not_o in_o good_a earnest_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v but_o god_n say_v it_o shall_v be_v god_n esteem_v more_o of_o his_o word_n than_o heaven_n and_o

be_v the_o condition_n of_o many_o people_n which_o do_v mighty_o provoke_v god_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o deut._n 29.19_o 20_o 21._o if_o notwithstanding_o what_o be_v write_v in_o this_o book_n

2._o to_o the_o verify_n of_o a_o promise_n there_o be_v not_o only_a god_n faithfulness_n but_o it_o be_v his_o faithfulness_n in_o christ_n all_o the_o promise_n be_v in_o he_o yea_o and_o amen_o

judgement_n have_v not_o such_o immediate_a relation_n to_o christ_n 3._o more_o sure_a because_o promise_n be_v not_o only_a god_n covenant_n with_o his_o people_n but_o his_o testament_n and_o so_o more_o sure_a than_o a_o covenant_n for_o a_o covenant_n may_v be_v break_v on_o the_o one_o party_n but_o a_o testament_n can_v it_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n the_o

wonder_v when_o wicked_a man_n believe_v not_o god_n threaten_n and_o his_o judgement_n to_o tremble_v at_o they_o know_v oh_o christian_n that_o not_o only_a man_n but_o angel_n stand_v and_o

before_o a_o judgement_n come_v aggravate_v obs_n 3_o both_o the_o sin_n and_o the_o judgement_n the_o punishment_n will_v be_v so_o much_o the_o heavy_a it_o aggravate_v the_o sin_n because_o then_o
