time_n especial_o that_o you_o have_v not_o call_v and_o endeavour_v so_o earnest_o as_o you_o ought_v for_o reformation_n of_o religion_n that_o every_o thing_n may_v have_v be_v do_v in_o the_o

to_o visit_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n do_v so_o be_v first_o that_o all_o the_o world_n may_v know_v how_o much_o the_o lord_n abhor_v sin_n especial_o in_o matter_n of_o his_o worship_n to_o this_o purpose_n it_o be_v observable_a what_o he_o say_v exod._n 32.34_o in_o the_o day_n when_o i_o visit_v i_o will_v visit_v their_o sin_n upon_o they_o so_o often_o as_o he_o punish_v the_o people_n and_o their_o posterity_n for_o other_o sin_n he_o remember_v their_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n which_o give_v occasion_n to_o the_o say_n that_o in_o every_o plague_n of_o israel_n there_o be_v one_o ounce_n of_o the_o golden_a calf_n second_o that_o man_n may_v abstain_v from_o sin_n of_o this_o sort_n not_o only_o for_o respect_n to_o themselves_o but_o to_o their_o posterity_n who_o they_o love_v so_o ●enderly_o and_o of_o who_o they_o be_v often_o more_o careful_a than_o of_o themselves_o and_o this_o he_o do_v to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o generation_n that_o both_o the_o parent_n themselves_o and_o other_o who_o be_v witness_n to_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o parent_n may_v be_v sensible_a of_o god_n deal_n and_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v just_a and_o the_o avenger_n of_o sin_n i_o leave_v the_o theological_a discourse_n in_o vindicate_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n only_o i_o say_v first_o that_o the_o lord_n punish_v no_o man_n with_o eternal_a wrath_n for_o his_o father_n sin_n but_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_v suffer_v in_o that_o kind_n second_o that_o the_o ungodly_a and_o wicked_a posterity_n can_v open_v their_o mouth_n against_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n since_o they_o continue_v in_o the_o iniquity_n of_o their_o father_n three_o that_o the_o godly_a when_o they_o be_v visit_v in_o their_o body_n good_n or_o estate_n which_o they_o have_v from_o their_o father_n will_v find_v these_o visitation_n to_o be_v indeed_o indicia_fw-la peccati_fw-la non_fw-la judicia_fw-la propter_fw-la

of_o time_n and_o jointure_n of_o affair_n use_v the_o great_a wisdom_n which_o god_n have_v give_v you_o in_o your_o public_a place_n be_v stir_v up_o and_o exercise_v in_o take_v heed_n that_o all_o the_o former_a sin_n of_o this_o land_n commit_v by_o so_o many_o progenitor_n be_v not_o bring_v upon_o this_o generation_n according_a to_o that_o sore_a and_o sad_a sentence_n pronounce_v by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n against_o jerusalem_n matth._n 23.35_o 23.35_o that_o upon_o you_o may_v come_v all_o the_o righteous_a blood_n shed_v upon_o the_o earth_n from_o the_o blood_n of_o righteous_a abel_n unto_o the_o blood_n of_o zacharias_n son_n of_o barachias_n who_o you_o slay_v between_o the_o temple_n and_o the_o altar_n and_o verse_n 36._o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v come_v upon_o this_o generation_n you_o can_v preserve_v all_o particular_a person_n from_o the_o judgement_n due_a unto_o they_o for_o their_o own_o and_o for_o their_o father_n sin_n nor_o can_v you_o preserve_v every_o family_n from_o the_o wrath_n which_o the_o present_a and_o precede_a generation_n have_v be_v treasure_v up_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v decree_v the_o destruction_n of_o some_o person_n and_o the_o e●tirpation_n of_o some_o family_n but_o it_o be_v in_o your_o hand_n to_o prevent_v the_o desolation_n of_o the_o church_n and_o kingdom_n the_o

their_o habitation_n be_v leave_v desolate_a and_o they_o be_v no_o more_o a_o nation_n nor_o a_o kingdom_n unto_o this_o day_n it_o be_v true_a the_o people_n be_v executioner_n but_o the_o ruler_n be_v the_o prime_a agent_n do_v therefore_o the_o work_n unto_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v you_o and_o you_o shall_v save_v the_o kingdom_n from_o this_o wrath_n it_o be_v in_o your_o hand_n

what_o they_o can_v to_o bring_v all_o the_o blood_n and_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o former_a time_n upon_o this_o generation_n and_o to_o make_v the_o posterity_n miserable_a let_v other_o profess_v

as_o be_v faithful_a in_o their_o place_n be_v upon_o the_o right_a way_n to_o save_v the_o kingdom_n the_o king_n and_o the_o king_n son_n from_o wrath_n now_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o

the_o reedise_n of_o the_o wall_n which_o be_v ruin_v and_o lie_v in_o heap_n their_o fast_v and_o pray_v be_v not_o sufficient_a they_o behoove_v to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n their_o pray_v and_o

to_o frequent_v fast_v and_o humiliation_n only_o consider_v whether_o with_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o your_o particular_a sin_n and_o personal_a transgression_n you_o have_v be_v humble_v for_o

mean_n be_v use_v for_o bring_v the_o people_n to_o the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o it_o it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o secret_a and_o real_a acknowledgement_n in_o the_o covenant_n but_o the_o
