sentence_n against_o sinner_n be_v not_o speedy_o execute_v therefore_o be_v they_o full_o bend_v upon_o mischief_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n charge_v they_o rom._n 2._o to_o heap_v up_o wrath_n to_o themselves_o against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n by_o turn_v god_n grace_n thus_o into_o wantonness_n 2._o when_o man_n charge_v god_n action_n with_o unjustice_n and_o so_o either_o deny_v or_o blemish_v his_o providence_n especial_o in_o case_n of_o cross_n befalling_a they_o so_o take_v occasion_n to_o murmur_n and_o be_v impatient_a as_o job_n be_v by_o fit_n and_o as_o it_o be_v often_o see_v in_o good_a man_n but_o most_o of_o all_o in_o bad_a as_o they_o say_v where_o be_v the_o god_n of_o judgement_n when_o man_n ult_n take_v occasion_n from_o any_o of_o god_n work_n to_o repine_v against_o or_o entertain_v hard_a conceit_n of_o he_o this_o be_v a_o grievous_a sin_n and_o a_o dishonour_n of_o he_o in_o his_o work_n 3._o when_o man_n grow_v proud_a of_o his_o benefit_n think_v high_o of_o themselves_o because_o of_o those_o good_a thing_n he_o have_v undeserved_o bestow_v upon_o they_o and_o be_v lift_v up_o as_o if_o they_o have_v not_o receive_v they_o for_o god_n give_v

may_v if_o we_o will_v see_v plain_o that_o he_o intend_v as_o pharaoh_n harden_v his_o heart_n against_o the_o wonderful_a work_n do_v by_o moses_n and_o the_o wicked_a pharisee_n harden_v their_o heart_n against_o all_o christ_n miracle_n than_o which_o what_o great_a despite_n can_v we_o offer_v to_o god_n to_o resolve_v we_o will_v not_o go_v though_o he_o lead_v and_o though_o he_o drive_v we_o or_o that_o we_o will_v go_v on_o though_o he_o hold_v we_o back_o with_o a_o kind_n of_o violence_n and_o these_o be_v the_o principal_a waie●_n of_o dishonour_v god_n in_o his_o work_n 2._o we_o dishonour_v he_o in_o our_o work_n by_o mis-intending_a they_o either_o to_o end_n lawful_a in_o excessivenesse_n or_o to_o unlawful_a end_n as_o for_o example_n when_o man_n labour_v in_o

in_o one_o calling_n to_o anger_v another_o or_o the_o like_a for_o herein_o we_o do_v sinful_o pervert_v the_o order_n that_o shall_v be_v observe_v and_o cast_v our_o eye_n from_o he_o upon_o who_o
