sovereignty_n in_o we_o at_o all_o time_n whatsoever_o providence_n it_o please_v god_n to_o exercise_v we_o withal_o anger_n zeal_n and_o hatred_n against_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n shall_v not_o

in_o some_o matter_n of_o opinion_n and_o about_o civil_a thing_n yet_o we_o keep_v our_o first_o faith_n against_o popery_n answ_n but_o alas_o than_o our_o heart_n be_v divide_v from_o god_n when_o

withal_o when_o we_o break_v thus_o with_o god_n and_o thus_o with_o man_n this_o be_v division_n will_v you_o know_v how_o great_a a_o sin_n this_o be_v i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v of_o these_o

violence_n and_o strife_n be_v the_o sin_n which_o stir_v up_o the_o zeal_n of_o david_n he_o know_v that_o such_o sin_n expose_v people_n to_o destruction_n and_o that_o division_n be_v the_o mean_n

that_o mean_n their_o enterprise_n have_v no_o other_o than_o a_o ridiculous_a issue_n in_o like_a manner_n when_o god_n intend_v destruction_n to_o a_o people_n he_o use_v to_o prepare_v they_o for_o it_o by_o division_n it_o be_v worth_a our_o observe_v concern_v the_o jew_n they_o be_v many_o year_n contend_v about_o government_n from_o their_o come_n out_o of_o babylon_n till_o their_o subdue_a

if_o we_o will_v know_v how_o likely_a a_o people_n be_v to_o be_v destroy_v or_o how_o near_o they_o be_v to_o a_o mercy_n let_v we_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o how_o far_o forth_o they_o be_v
