their_o god_n requite_v this_o his_o love_n which_o they_o have_v no_o more_o deserve_v than_o any_o other_o nation_n certain_o as_o they_o deserve_v it_o not_o afore_o they_o have_v it_o so_o they_o

and_o unwise_a thus_o that_o be_v with_o sin_n and_o disobedience_n which_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o displease_v the_o lord_n &_o to_o provoke_v he_o to_o wrath_n for_o this_o cause_n they_o be_v worthy_o call_v a_o foolish_a and_o unkind_a people_n by_o moses_n and_o here_o by_o the_o prophet_n a_o nation_n not_o worthy_a to_o be_v belove_v namely_o for_o their_o unthankfulness_n and_o

those_o soul_n rebellion_n which_o his_o soul_n hate_v and_o among_o many_o the_o prophet_n here_o in_o this_o chapter_n note_v three_o of_o their_o great_a sin_n for_o which_o they_o be_v a_o nation_n not_o worthy_a to_o be_v belove_v covetousness_n cruelty_n and_o deceit_n all_o which_o be_v the_o more_o heinous_a and_o intolerable_a because_o they_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o their_o prince_n

a_o little_a unkindness_n do_v great_o grieve_v a_o man_n from_o he_o who_o be_v love_v and_o respect_v so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n he_o love_v not_o the_o gentile_n as_o he_o do_v the_o jew_n 147._o neither_o be_v he_o so_o bountiful_a unto_o they_o 30._o and_o therefore_o as_o we_o may_v see_v though_o they_o live_v always_o in_o ignorance_n and_o continue_v always_o in_o

temptation_n sickness_n or_o open_a persecution_n the_o chaff_n of_o natural_a presumption_n and_o outward_a formality_n in_o religion_n will_v fly_v away_o and_o it_o must_v be_v the_o penitent_a

of_o all_o temptation_n yea_o when_o god_n suffer_v the_o devil_n to_o do_v with_o we_o as_o he_o do_v with_o peter_n to_o winnowe_v we_o like_o wheat_n to_o sift_v and_o try_v we_o as_o he_o do_v

glorious_a will_v it_o be_v in_o the_o end_n if_o we_o follow_v this_o holy_a prophet_n counsel_n and_o search_v our_o heart_n ¶_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o point_n namely_o the_o duty_n of_o search_v here_o command_v in_o which_o we_o have_v stay_v the_o long_a because_o it_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o this_o be_v well_o lay_v the_o whole_a building_n will_v go_v up_o the_o fast_a now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o general_a point_n here_o lay_v down_o that_o be_v who_o must_v we_o search_v the_o prophet_n answer_v yourselves_o not_o other_o man_n but_o yourselves_o this_o search_n so_o urge_v and_o enforce_v by_o the_o prophet_n must_v not_o be_v of_o other_o man_n heart_n &_o life_n but_o of_o our_o own_o our_o own_o be_v our_o charge_n and_o not_o other_o man_n and_o therein_o be_v the_o say_n true_a which_o else_o be_v most_o false_a every_o man_n for_o himself_o for_o as_o every_o soul_n must_v be_v save_v by_o itself_o so_o must_v it_o believe_v repent_v and_o search_v itself_o the_o duty_n therefore_o here_o command_v be_v for_o every_o man_n that_o will_v have_v his_o soul_n to_o be_v save_v to_o search_v it_o and_o reform_v it_o &_o leave_v other_o to_o be_v search_v by_o themselves_o here_o the_o holy_a ghost_n meet_v with_o the_o common_a corruption_n of_o this_o world_n and_o that_o be_v that_o man_n be_v eagle_n eye_v to_o see_v into_o the_o life_n of_o other_o man_n but_o to_o look_v into_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o life_n they_o be_v blind_a than_o mole_n they_o can_v see_v moat_n in_o other_o man_n life_n but_o discern_v not_o beam_n in_o their_o own_o whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o stumble_v and_o fall_v fowlie_o for_o the_o eye_n of_o most_o man_n be_v set_v upon_o other_o and_o not_o upon_o themselves_o and_o thereupon_o it_o be_v that_o a_o evil_a man_n see_v ooth_a man_n and_o not_o himself_o think_v best_o of_o himself_o and_o worst_a of_o other_o man_n but_o contrariwise_o a_o good_a man_n see_v himself_o and_o not_o other_o man_n think_v worst_a of_o himself_o and_o better_a of_o other_o man_n a_o evil_a man_n look_v outward_a and_o judge_v other_o man_n but_o a_o good_a man_n look_v homeward_o and_o judge_v himself_o and_o in_o judge_v condemn_v himself_o far_o above_o other_o man_n and_o that_o because_o by_o search_v into_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o way_n he_o know_v that_o by_o himself_o which_o he_o know_v not_o by_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o so_o then_o we_o must_v search_v not_o other_o man_n but_o ourselves_o our_o own_o heart_n &_o our_o own_o life_n be_v our_o charge_n and_o burden_n the_o life_n of_o other_o man_n concern_v we_o not_o be_v private_a man_n further_a then_o either_o to_o follow_v they_o be_v good_a or_o take_v heed_n of_o they_o be_v evil_a but_o to_o search_v or_o be_v inquisitive_a into_o they_o be_v no_o duty_n command_v we_o but_o rather_o a_o foul_a and_o a_o base_a vice_n forbid_v of_o god_n indeed_o magistrate_n in_o their_o people_n pastor_n in_o their_o congregation_n and_o householder_n in_o their_o family_n be_v to_o search_v but_o they_o can_v search_v only_o for_o criminal_a cause_n to_o open_v actual_a sin_n but_o this_o search_n must_v be_v of_o our_o heart_n which_o no_o man_n can_v search_v but_o ourselves_o only_o few_o man_n have_v a_o calling_n to_o inquire_v into_o other_o man_n life_n but_o every_o man_n have_v a_o calling_n to_o search_v into_o himself_o but_o alas_o man_n do_v far_o otherwise_o they_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o rot_v in_o their_o own_o sin_n and_o erect_v a_o inquisition_n over_o other_o man_n life_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o daily_a experience_n that_o those_o man_n who_o be_v the_o great_a searcher_n and_o pryer_n into_o other_o man_n be_v the_o neglecter_n and_o forgetter_n of_o themselves_o and_o contrariwise_o they_o who_o do_v narrow_o search_v themselves_o and_o their_o own_o way_n and_o look_v into_o the_o corner_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n do_v find_v so_o much_o work_v to_o do_v with_o themselves_o that_o they_o little_o busy_v themselves_o wi●h_v other_o man_n and_o thus_o much_o may_v suffice_v for_o that_o point_n it_o follow_v o_o nation_n not_o worthy_a to_o be_v belove_v the_o three_o point_n who_o must_v search_v the_o jew_n who_o be_v here_o term_v a_o nation_n not_o

the_o unspeakable_a love_n of_o god_n and_o his_o wonderful_a mercy_n offer_v grace_n unto_o such_o man_n as_o be_v altogether_o unworthy_a of_o it_o god_n child_n be_v by_o nature_n like_o other_o
