my_o knee_n with_o this_o request_n and_o advice_n in_o my_o text_n o_o kiss_v the_o son_n lest_o he_o be_v angry_a and_o you_o perish_v but_o if_o thy_o heardned_a heart_n make_v light_n of_o all_o and_o thou_o go_v on_o still_o in_o thy_o careless_a neglect_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o believe_v but_o thou_o be_v his_o friend_n and_o servant_n i_o do_v here_o from_o the_o word_n and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n pass_v this_o sentence_n upon_o thy_o soul_n thou_o shall_v go_v hence_o and_o perhaps_o linger_v out_o in_o thy_o security_n a_o few_o day_n more_o and_o then_o be_v call_v by_o death_n to_o judgement_n where_o thou_o shall_v be_v doom_v to_o this_o everlasting_a fiery_a wrath_n make_v as_o light_v of_o it_o as_o thou_o will_v feel_v it_o thou_o shall_v put_v it_o off_o and_o escape_v it_o if_o thou_o can_v and_o when_o thou_o have_v do_v go_v boast_v that_o thou_o have_v conquer_v christ_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o require_v this_o congregation_n to_o bear_v witness_n that_o thou_o have_v warning_n this_o to_o all_o in_o general_a my_o text_n yet_o direct_v i_o to_o speak_v more_o particular_o to_o the_o ruler_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o earth_n honourable_a and_o reverend_a judge_n worshipful_a magistrate_n if_o you_o be_v all_o king_n and_o emperor_n all_o be_v one_o to_o christ_n you_o be_v but_o high_a and_o mighty_a dust_n and_o ash_n christ_n send_v his_o summons_n first_o to_o you_o he_o know_v the_o leader_n interest_n in_o the_o vulgar_a you_o be_v the_o commander_n in_o the_o host_n of_o god_n and_o must_v do_v he_o more_o service_n than_o the_o common_a soldier_n if_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v neglect_v he_o and_o stand_v out_o against_o he_o he_o will_v begin_v with_o you_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o rest_n and_o make_v your_o greatness_n a_o step_v stone_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o justice_n that_o the_o low_a may_v understand_v what_o they_o have_v to_o do_v when_o they_o see_v the_o great_a can_v save_v themselves_o shall_v i_o say_v you_o be_v wise_a than_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o that_o this_o admonition_n be_v needless_a to_o you_o no_o than_o i_o shall_v accuse_v the_o spirit_n in_o my_o text_n the_o cedar_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v always_o hardly_o stoop_v to_o christ_n which_o have_v make_v so_o many_o of_o they_o root_v up_o your_o honour_n be_v a_o impediment_n to_o that_o self-abasing_a which_o he_o expect_v your_o dignity_n will_v more_o tend_v to_o blind_v you_o then_o to_o illuminate_v there_o be_v few_o of_o any_o sort_n but_o few_o of_o the_o great_a &_o wise_a and_o mighty_a that_o be_v call_v yet_o a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o among_o those_o that_o have_v hold_v out_o in_o these_o try_v time_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o need_n of_o these_o suspicion_n but_o have_v there_o not_o be_v always_o a_o succession_n of_o sinner_n even_o of_o those_o that_o have_v behold_v the_o ruin_n of_o their_o predecessor_n who_o will_v have_v think_v that_o a_o generation_n that_o have_v see_v the_o wonder_n in_o egypt_n and_o have_v pa●●ed_v through_o the_o sea_n and_o be_v maintain_v in_o a_o wilderness_n with_o constant_a miracle_n shall_v yet_o be_v such_o vile_a idolater_n or_o murmur_a unbeliever_n that_o only_o two_o of_o they_o shall_v enter_v into_o rest_n the_o best_a of_o saint_n have_v need_n of_o self-suspition_n and_o

that_o despise_v he_o shall_v be_v light_o esteem_v 1_o sam._n 2._o 30._o more_o particular_o let_v i_o advise_v you_o as_o your_o duty_n to_o the_o son_n 1._o that_o you_o take_v your_o commission_n &_o office_n as_o from_o he_o i_o think_v it_o a_o doctrine_n more_o common_a than_o true_a that_o minister_n only_o be_v under_o christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o magistrate_n be_v only_o under_o god_n as_o creator_n christ_n be_v now_o lord_n of_o all_o and_o you_o be_v his_o servant_n as_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o from_o god_n so_o none_o from_o god_n but_o by_o christ_n look_v upon_o yourselves_o as_o his_o vicegerent_n therefore_o do_v not_o that_o which_o beseem_v not_o a_o vicegerent_n of_o christ_n remember_v that_o as_o you_o see_v to_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n so_o will_v christ_n see_v that_o his_o law_n be_v obey_v by_o you_o or_o execute_v on_o you_o remember_v when_o you_o sit_v and_o judge_v offender_n that_o you_o represent_v he_o that_o will_v judge_v you_o and_o all_o the_o world_n and_o oh_o how_o lively_o a_o resemblance_n have_v you_o to_o raise_v your_o apprehension_n think_v with_o yourselves_o thus_o shall_v man_n tremble_v before_o his_o bar_n thus_o shall_v they_o wait_v to_o hear_v their_o doom_n and_o be_v sure_a that_o your_o judgement_n be_v such_o as_o may_v most_o lively_o represent_v the_o judgement_n of_o christ_n that_o the_o just_a may_v depart_v from_o your_o bar_n with_o joy_n and_o the_o unjust_a with_o sadness_n let_v your_o justice_n be_v most_o severe_a where_o christ_n be_v most_o severe_a and_o so_o far_o as_o you_o can_v exercise_v your_o clemency_n let_v it_o be_v about_o those_o offence_n which_o our_o law_n be_v more_o rigorous_a against_o than_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v sure_a yet_o that_o you_o understand_v the_o extent_n of_o your_o commission_n that_o you_o be_v not_o the_o sole_a officer_n of_o jesus_n christ_n you_o be_v under_o he_o as_o he_o be_v head_n over_o all_o
