the_o divine_a justice_n to_o a_o speedy_a execution_n of_o the_o judgement_n we_o have_v deserve_v to_o withdraw_v his_o protection_n and_o to_o leave_v we_o to_o the_o will_n of_o our_o merciless_a enemy_n that_o we_o may_v be_v possess_v with_o due_a apprehension_n of_o our_o danger_n i_o shall_v show_v second_o that_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o fear_v that_o our_o great_a provocation_n may_v be_v punish_v by_o god_n as_o those_o of_o the_o jew_n be_v that_o he_o may_v therefore_o give_v we_o up_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n for_o first_o we_o have_v no_o such_o particular_a promise_n of_o preservation_n from_o and_o conquest_n over_o our_o enemy_n as_o the_o jewish_a nation_n have_v god_n have_v express_o tell_v they_o that_o he_o will_v drive_v out_o the_o nation_n before_o they_o and_o give_v they_o a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a possession_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n but_o notwithstanding_o for_o their_o great_a provocation_n he_o do_v often_o deliver_v they_o into_o their_o enemy_n hand_n how_o then_o can_v we_o hope_v still_o to_o escape_v this_o punishment_n who_o have_v no_o such_o particular_a promise_n when_o our_o provocation_n be_v as_o great_a as_o they_o god_n do_v often_o deliver_v the_o jew_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o promise_n to_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n 2_o king_n 13._o 23._o and_o the_o lord_n be_v gracious_a unto_o they_o and_o have_v compassion_n on_o they_o and_o have_v respect_n unto_o they_o he_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o king_n of_o syria_n because_o of_o his_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o will_v not_o destroy_v they_o neither_o cast_v he_o they_o from_o his_o presence_n as_o yet_o but_o we_o have_v no_o such_o promise_n make_v to_o any_o of_o our_o father_n and_o therefore_o have_v much_o less_o reason_n to_o hope_v for_o that_o defence_n and_o protection_n from_o god_n which_o the_o provoke_a israelite_n do_v sometime_o find_v against_o their_o enemy_n the_o example_n of_o the_o text_n than_o be_v a_o strong_a argument_n against_o we_o if_o god_n punish_v their_o great_a provocation_n with_o the_o sword_n of_o their_o enemy_n we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o fear_v that_o he_o will_v much_o rather_o punish_v we_o in_o like_a manner_n second_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n be_v more_o concern_v in_o defend_v and_o preserve_v the_o jewish_a nation_n than_o it_o be_v in_o defend_v and_o preserve_v we_o for_o they_o be_v the_o only_a worshipper_n of_o the_o lord_n jehovah_n and_o whilst_o they_o be_v so_o it_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n necessary_a for_o the_o assert_v of_o his_o divinity_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o knowledge_n and_o worship_n of_o he_o sometime_o to_o appear_v on_o their_o behalf_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v their_o enemy_n utter_o to_o prevail_v against_o they_o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o provocation_n of_o israel_n be_v great_a he_o be_v often_o say_v to_o have_v wrought_v for_o his_o name_n be_v sake_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v pollute_v among_o the_o heathen_a that_o they_o may_v not_o triumph_v and_o insult_v over_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n as_o rabshakeh_n

who_o be_v they_o among_o all_o the_o god_n of_o these_o nation_n that_o have_v deliver_v their_o land_n out_o of_o my_o hand_n and_o god_n do_v not_o give_v they_o up_o to_o be_v destroy_v utter_o by_o their_o enemy_n till_o he_o have_v plant_v a_o church_n among_o the_o gentile_n and_o have_v make_v they_o his_o people_n who_o be_v not_o his_o people_n but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o reason_n give_v for_o god_n defend_v and_o preserve_v we_o notwithstanding_o our_o great_a provocation_n the_o honour_n of_o his_o name_n can_v be_v so_o much_o interest_v in_o our_o safety_n who_o be_v only_o a_o part_n of_o his_o church_n the_o christian_a faith_n and_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n will_v still_o be_v maintain_v and_o preserve_v though_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o give_v up_o

fear_v this_o punishment_n if_o we_o still_o continue_v our_o great_a provocation_n three_o we_o have_v still_o great_a reason_n to_o fear_v this_o particular_a judgement_n for_o our_o great_a provocation_n because_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o rod_n which_o god_n have_v be_v for_o some_o year_n shake_v over_o we_o and_o threaten_v to_o punish_v we_o with_o the_o

with_o our_o host_n there_o need_v nothing_o more_o to_o bring_v this_o heavy_a judgement_n upon_o we_o and_o can_v we_o hope_v that_o god_n will_v always_o be_v active_a on_o behalf_n of_o so_o provoke_v a_o people_n that_o he_o will_v not_o at_o length_n be_v weary_a of_o interpose_v and_o fight_v for_o we_o this_o be_v a_o judgement_n then_o so_o ready_a and_o so_o easy_a to_o be_v inflict_v on_o we_o that_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o fear_v that_o god_n may_v thus_o punish_v our_o great_a provocation_n four_o this_o be_v a_o judgement_n that_o many_o among_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v fond_a of_o some_o be_v wish_v and_o pray_v for_o it_o and_o other_o have_v engage_v in_o the_o most_o horrid_a villainy_n that_o they_o may_v let_v it_o in_o upon_o themselves_o and_o we_o and_o will_v it_o not_o be_v very_o just_a with_o god_n and_o very_o agreeable_a to_o his_o method_n of_o punish_v to_o cause_v they_o to_o inherit_v their_o own_o choice_n and_o to_o be_v fill_v
