sermon_n though_o no_o great_a pain_n to_o compose_v it_o for_o i_o see_v the_o reason_n i_o think_v of_o our_o impenitence_n as_o plain_o as_o if_o they_o be_v write_v with_o the_o finger_n of_o

mention_v that_o there_o be_v great_a number_n of_o offender_n who_o be_v not_o at_o all_o sensible_a that_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n which_o have_v be_v stretch_v out_o against_o we_o in_o so_o many_o plague_n but_o impute_v all_o to_o ill_a fortune_n and_o blind_a chance_n which_o have_v fall_v unlucky_o upon_o we_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o help_v to_o undo_v the_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v v._o 12._o of_o this_o chapter_n they_o regard_v not_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o consider_v the_o operation_n of_o his_o hand_n and_o it_o will_v inevitable_o ruin_v all_o those_o who_o walk_v on_o the_o same_o tract_n for_o how_o shall_v such_o man_n repent_v when_o god_n be_v not_o in_o all_o their_o thought_n and_o they_o will_v acknowledge_v no_o divine_a hand_n in_o any_o of_o our_o calamity_n but_o stick_v mere_o in_o low_a cause_n above_o which_o they_o be_v resolve_v not_o to_o look_v if_o any_o of_o you_o be_v in_o the_o least_o infect_v with_o this_o dull_a atheism_n endeavour_v to_o cure_v that_o in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o a_o sense_n of_o god_n awaken_v in_o your_o mind_n may_v cure_v all_o the_o

of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n in_o all_o that_o we_o have_v suffer_v it_o will_v make_v you_o say_v as_o the_o jailor_n do_v when_o he_o come_v in_o tremble_v before_o the_o apostle_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o be_v save_v what_o but_o repent_v of_o this_o that_o you_o have_v no_o more_o lay_v to_o heart_n the_o work_n of_o god_n or_o so_o soon_o forget_v the_o operation_n of_o his_o hand_n which_o i_o beseech_v you_o now_o serious_o consider_v and_o ponder_v and_o keep_v in_o mind_n that_o you_o may_v be_v afraid_a to_o offend_v he_o any_o more_o by_o go_v on_o still_o in_o those_o

in_o the_o method_n of_o his_o judgement_n against_o we_o till_o they_o be_v rise_v to_o high_a and_o dreadful_a degree_n you_o can_v but_o be_v awaken_v to_o think_v how_o dismal_a the_o next_o stroke_n be_v like_a to_o be_v and_o so_o consider_v and_o fear_v and_o do_v no_o more_o presumptuous_o i_o need_v not_o if_o i_o be_v able_a to_o set_v every_o one_o of_o your_o particular_a sin_n who_o be_v here_o present_a before_o your_o eye_n for_o god_n have_v do_v it_o by_o his_o judgement_n if_o they_o have_v at_o all_o awaken_v your_o drowsy_a conscience_n they_o have_v call_v upon_o you_o to_o examine_v and_o search_v and_o try_v your_o way_n which_o if_o you_o have_v do_v you_o soon_o find_v what_o be_v amiss_o there_o be_v none_o here_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o have_v lose_v that_o discern_a faculty_n which_o distinguish_v between_o good_a and_o evil_n you_o very_o well_o know_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o be_v not_o grow_v so_o stupid_a as_o to_o put_v light_n for_o darkness_n and_o darkness_n for_o light_n if_o you_o will_v but_o make_v as_o exact_v a_o difference_n in_o your_o life_n and_o action_n as_o you_o be_v able_a to_o do_v in_o your_o mind_n and_o

senseless_a soul_n i_o know_v not_o well_o what_o to_o say_v of_o they_o but_o must_v acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o very_a discourage_a thought_n when_o i_o consider_v that_o they_o who_o be_v most_o concern_v in_o what_o i_o have_v say_v in_o this_o sermon_n be_v neither_o here_o nor_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v in_o any_o other_o place_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n they_o to_o who_o the_o character_n which_o the_o prophet_n give_v of_o a_o people_n in_o a_o woeful_a condition_n most_o of_o all_o belong_v never_o so_o much_o as_o read_v it_o nor_o will_v come_v to_o

from_o the_o herd_n of_o such_o brute_n as_o have_v no_o fear_n no_o apprehension_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v future_a you_o be_v to_o be_v commend_v for_o address_v yourselves_o to_o god_n in_o

the_o more_o strict_o because_o there_o be_v so_o many_o loose-liver_n of_o who_o amendment_n there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o hope_n remain_v and_o here_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o give_v

to_o succeed_v it_o as_o you_o may_v see_v if_o you_o look_v forward_o into_o the_o nine_o chapter_n of_o this_o prophecy_n v._o 11_o 12._o where_o the_o same_o sad_a word_n be_v repeat_v again_o upon_o this_o occasion_n they_o be_v so_o vain_a as_o to_o imagine_v themselves_o secure_a notwithstanding_o all_o their_o sin_n from_o the_o power_n of_o the_o syrian_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o

at_o the_o last_o turn_v against_o they_o they_o from_o who_o they_o expect_v succour_n and_o deliverance_n prove_v their_o great_a adversary_n and_o so_o the_o syrian_n before_o and_o the_o philistine_n behind_o who_o always_o watch_v occasion_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o israelite_n when_o they_o be_v in_o distress_n make_v a_o prey_n of_o they_o and_o devour_v they_o with_o open_a mouth_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o his_o anger_n be_v not_o turn_v away_o but_o his_o hand_n be_v stretch_v out_o still_o he_o have_v not_o yet_o do_v with_o they_o because_o as_o it_o follow_v v._o 13._o the_o people_n turn_v not_o unto_o he_o that_o smite_v they_o neither_o do_v they_o seek_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n they_o never_o hearty_o acknowledge_v their_o fault_n nor_o go_v about_o to_o amend_v they_o and_o therefore_o he_o proceed_v to_o punish_v all_o the_o senator_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o leader_n of_o the_o people_n together_o with_o their_o young_a and_o valiant_a man_n nay_o the_o fatherless_a and_o widow_n and_o all_o because_o every_o one_o be_v a_o hypocrite_n and_o a_o evildoer_n and_o every_o mouth_n speak_v villainy_n as_o you_o may_v read_v v._o 14_o 15_o 16_o 27._o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o his_o anger_n be_v not_o turn_v away_o but_o his_o hand_n stretch_v out_o still_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v expect_v that_o he_o shall_v
