the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o which_o shall_v have_v a_o form_n of_o religion_n without_o the_o zeal_n and_o power_n and_o life_n of_o it_o and_o if_o zeal_n turn_v away_o god_n wrath_n certain_o

and_o contradict_v it_o let_v he_o be_v accurse_v this_o be_v the_o true_a gospel_n and_o you_o may_v believe_v it_o if_o you_o can_v therefore_o do_v as_o paul_n do_v philip._n 3.9_o that_o reckon_v all_o as_o dross_n and_o dung_n that_o he_o may_v be_v find_v in_o christ_n not_o have_v his_o own_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n but_o that_o which_o be_v through_o faith_n in_o christ._n that_o when_o you_o come_v to_o see_v your_o condition_n you_o desire_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n with_o that_o earnestness_n that_o he_o do_v when_o he_o reckon_v all_o as_o dross_n and_o dung_n even_o his_o own_o righteousness_n which_o he_o know_v will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n if_o i_o say_v thou_o can_v thus_o go_v to_o christ_n know_v that_o no_o antecedent_n condition_n be_v

full_a of_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o ungodliness_n christ_n can_v deny_v thou_o he_o will_v receive_v the_o to_o mercy_n we_o will_v now_o brief_o come_v to_o the_o next_o point_n and_o that_o be_v this_o there_o be_v a_o revelation_n of_o wrath_n against_o all_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n 2._o man_n and_o that_o be_v another_o thing_n that_o will_v humble_v we_o for_o there_o must_v be_v two_o thing_n to_o do_v it_o one_o be_v to_o see_v our_o sin_n to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v no_o worth_n no_o excellency_n no_o worthiness_n at_o all_o in_o we_o and_o the_o second_o be_v to_o have_v a_o apprehension_n of_o wrath_n due_a for_o sin_n and_o so_o his_o misery_n under_o the_o same_o though_o a_o man_n be_v never_o so_o miserable_a yet_o if_o he_o have_v a_o bottom_n to_o stand_v on_o he_o will_v not_o go_v to_o christ_n but_o when_o he_o see_v his_o own_o nothingnesse_n and_o withal_o that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n hang_v over_o he_o so_o that_o he_o must_v sink_v utter_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o help_v he_o when_o both_o these_o concur_v a_o man_n be_v humble_v man_n may_v have_v one_o without_o the_o other_o as_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n o_o you_o generation_n of_o viper_n who_o have_v warn_v you_o to_o fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v they_o be_v sensible_a of_o wrath_n and_o have_v so_o much_o to_o humble_v they_o but_o they_o do_v not_o see_v that_o viperous_a serpentine_a evil_a disposition_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o again_o many_o man_n may_v see_v their_o sin_n and_o acknowledge_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o all_o they_o have_v but_o they_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o wrath_n god_n have_v not_o charge_v sin_n upon_o their_o conscience_n nor_o reveal_v his_o wrath_n and_o therefore_o they_o go_v on_o in_o a_o senseless_a manner_n and_o be_v no_o more_o move_v with_o the_o other_o

so_o unequal_a and_o uneven_a in_o our_o way_n we_o be_v zealous_a for_o a_o fit_a and_o in_o some_o particular_n but_o grow_v cold_a again_o as_o if_o we_o never_o have_v be_v the_o man_n we_o go_v on_o in_o a_o good_a course_n till_o we_o meet_v with_o some_o cross_n and_o then_o we_o balk_v it_o till_o we_o meet_v with_o some_o advantage_n and_o preferment_n and_o then_o we_o step_v out_o of_o the_o way_n to_o take_v it_o be_v this_o to_o be_v perfect_a with_o god_n but_o if_o we_o think_v the_o lord_n to_o be_v all-sufficient_a and_o almighty_a we_o will_v walk_v perfect_o before_o he_o for_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o any_o man_n step_v out_o from_o god_n it_o be_v because_o he_o find_v something_o in_o the_o creature_n which_o he_o see_v not_o in_o god_n therefore_o say_v god_n i_o be_o al-sufficient_a that_o be_v let_v a_o man_n look_v round_o about_o he_o and_o consider_v whatsoever_o it_o be_v that_o he_o can_v desire_v or_o need_n he_o shall_v have_v it_o in_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o be_v all-sufficient_a why_o then_o shall_v not_o you_o be_v perfect_a with_o he_o why_o will_v you_o start_v from_o he_o at_o any_o time_n or_o upon_o any_o occasion_n and_o this_o shall_v suffice_v to_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n to_o believe_v this_o indeed_o that_o god_n only_o be_v able_a to_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a indeed_o we_o care_v for_o the_o favour_n of_o prince_n and_o think_v that_o they_o can_v hurt_v we_o or_o do_v we_o good_a and_o therefore_o we_o be_v so_o intent_n about_o they_o so_o busy_o occupy_v about_o they_o but_o this_o will_v not_o work_v on_o we_o so_o much_o if_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o which_o i_o have_v now_o deliver_v unto_o you_o that_o god_n only_o be_v the_o author_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a therefore_o will_v we_o reason_v with_o you_o point_n and_o see_v if_o we_o can_v plant_v this_o principle_n in_o you_o and_o strengthen_v your_o belief_n thereof_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o the_o error_n and_o obliquity_n we_o find_v in_o the_o life_n of_o man_n come_v from_o this_o that_o these_o common_a principle_n be_v not_o thorough_o believe_v but_o by_o half_n and_o of_o they_o we_o fail_v in_o none_o more_o than_o in_o this_o for_o if_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o we_o shall_v serve_v he_o with_o willing_a heart_n and_o ready_a mind_n in_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a we_o think_v god_n have_v a_o chief_a hand_n in_o good_a and_o evil_a yet_o we_o think_v the_o creature_n can_v do_v somewhat_o too_o but_o consider_v this_o one_o reason_n if_o the_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o do_v you_o good_a or_o hurt_n god_n i_o will_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v to_o you_o that_o god_n be_v not_o god_n and_o you_o may_v be_v absolve_v from_o worship_v he_o for_o this_o be_v a_o principle_n plant_v in_o every_o man_n nature_n by_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n that_o we_o regard_v or_o neglect_v every_o creature_n more_o or_o less_o as_o they_o be_v more_o or_o less_o able_a to_o do_v we_o hurt_v now_o if_o the_o creature_n can_v but_o in_o part_n do_v we_o good_a or_o hurt_n we_o need_v not_o then_o care_v to_o worship_v the_o lord_n only_o for_o he_o only_o can_v not_o benefit_n or_o hurt_v we_o but_o god_n only_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v therefore_o he_o only_o have_v power_n to_o do_v good_a or_o hurt_n for_o on_o this_o ground_n we_o worship_v he_o alone_o that_o he_o only_o be_v able_a to_o do_v good_a or_o hurt_n otherwise_o he_o be_v not_o a_o complete_a adequate_a god_n to_o the_o worship_n that_o be_v require_v god_n again_o if_o the_o creature_n can_v do_v any_o thing_n it_o may_v challenge_v part_n in_o the_o deity_n but_o it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v any_o more_o god_n than_o one_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n only_o that_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a thus_o amos_n conclude_v it_o in_o his_o three_o chapter_n be_v there_o any_o evil_n in_o the_o city_n that_o he_o have_v not_o do_v and_o so_o we_o may_v say_v be_v there_o any_o good_a that_o he_o have_v not_o do_v where_o mark_v the_o generality_n be_v there_o any_o evil_n that_o he_o have_v not_o do_v therefore_o glorify_v he_o in_o thy_o life_n and_o in_o all_o thy_o way_n 5.23_o for_o as_o daniel_n tell_v belshazzar_n in_o his_o hand_n be_v all_o our_o way_n that_o be_v we_o take_v not_o the_o least_o step_n to_o prosperity_n or_o adversity_n through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n but_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o guide_v our_o step_n therefore_o in_o 2_o cor._n 1.3_o paul_n call_v he_o
