the_o wise_a shall_v the_o godly_a shall_v thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n of_o it_o and_o by_o this_o time_n i_o hope_v you_o all_o grant_n that_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o

matter_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n and_o consequence_n to_o know_v the_o time_n in_o reference_n to_o duty_n o_o what_o cause_n of_o lamentation_n be_v there_o first_o all_o in_o general_a to_o we_o all_o a_o man_n may_v in_o this_o case_n fill_v such_o a_o book_n as_o ezekiel_n roll_n be_v wi●h_o weep_a and_o lamentation_n and_o mourning_n here_o be_v a_o great_a assembly_n gather_v together_o to_o mourn_v upon_o a_o day_n of_o mourning_n and_o if_o ever_o any_o doctrine_n that_o ever_o i_o have_v preach_v may_v call_v for_o mourning_n at_o all_o your_o hand_n i_o be_o persuade_v this_o

know_v the_o time_n to_o talk_v of_o they_o sometime_o to_o inveigh_v against_o they_o cry_v out_o they_o be_v the_o worst_a time_n that_o ever_o be_v but_o for_o this_o knowledge_n of_o my_o text_n wherein_o true_a wisdom_n shall_v appear_v to_o know_v the_o time_n in_o reference_n to_o our_o duty_n i_o fear_v i_o may_v say_v as_o paul_n say_v of_o the_o corinthian_n hardly_o one_o wise_a man_n

not_o have_v be_v in_o the_o space_n of_o these_o 1000_o year_n and_o confident_a i_o be_o that_o he_o that_o lose_v these_o time_n wherein_o we_o have_v live_v will_v never_o have_v redeem_v any_o
