a_o devil_n may_v do_v much_o upon_o earth_n but_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o in_o heaven_n therefore_o say_v they_o show_v we_o a_o sign_n from_o heaven_n and_o we_o will_v believe_v so_o here_o to_o prevent_v all_o misconceite_n elias_n pray_v and_o procure_v a_o judgement_n from_o heaven_n and_o that_o a_o convince_a a_o cut_a judgement_n for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o people_n at_o that_o time_n leave_v off_o to_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n and_o fall_v to_o worship_n baal_n the_o sun_n the_o moon_n and_o all_o the_o host_n of_o heaven_n trust_v no_o doubt_n that_o these_o god_n of_o they_o will_v by_o their_o influence_n so_o moisten_v and_o fatten_v the_o earth_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o be_v behold_v to_o god_n for_o any_o rain_n now_o quoth_v eliah_n here_o be_v a_o judgement_n to_o try_v your_o god_n withal_o go_v to_o the_o god_n that_o you_o have_v serve_v let_v they_o help_v now_o or_o never_o if_o they_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n they_o can_v send_v a_o shower_n of_o rain_n if_o not_o why_o do_v you_o serve_v they_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o convince_a judgement_n eliah_n do_v it_o on_o purpose_n to_o let_v they_o see_v the_o vileness_n of_o their_o idolatry_n what_o base_a what_o impotent_a what_o unworthy_a god_n they_o serve_v that_o can_v not_o help_v their_o client_n to_o a_o drop_n of_o rain_n in_o like_a manner_n whatsoever_o a_o man_n make_v his_o god_n beside_o the_o true_a one_o i_o mean_v put_v his_o trust_n in_o for_o help_v in_o time_n of_o need_n shall_v at_o length_n so_o deceive_v he_o and_o so_o befool_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o confess_v as_o these_o people_n do_v in_o the_o end_n the_o lord_n he_o be_v god_n the_o lord_n he_o be_v god_n 2._o because_o it_o be_v a_o just_a and_o a_o fit_a punishment_n this_o people_n be_v guilty_a of_o spiritual_a barrenness_n and_o god_n plague_v they_o with_o temporal_a barrenness_n no_o nation_n under_o heaven_n be_v so_o husband_v and_o manure_v of_o god_n so_o water_v with_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n i_o mean_v with_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n as_o they_o be_v and_o yet_o none_o more_o unfruitful_a in_o every_o good_a work_n now_o therefore_o eliah_n fit_v they_o with_o a_o judgement_n suitable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o their_o sin_n he_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o it_o may_v not_o rain_v that_o so_o their_o land_n may_v be_v answerable_a to_o their_o life_n and_o their_o foil_n become_v as_o barren_a as_o their_o soul_n thus_o it_o please_v god_n many_o time_n to_o pay_v man_n in_o their_o own_o coin_n to_o come_v home_o to_o they_o in_o their_o own_o kind_n and_o to_o fit_v his_o punishment_n according_a to_o their_o sin_n that_o as_o they_o that_o sin_n in_o their_o good_n by_o misget_v miskeeping_n and_o mispend_v they_o be_v many_o time_n punish_v in_o their_o good_n by_o loss_n and_o cross_n by_o fire_n by_o water_n etc._n etc._n and_o as_o they_o that_o sin_n in_o their_o child_n by_o misloving_a or_o misnurture_v they_o be_v oft_o time_n punish_v in_o their_o child_n as_o david_n be_v in_o absolom_n and_o adonijah_n so_o they_o that_o sin_n in_o their_o land_n it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n to_o punish_v they_o in_o their_o land_n solomon_n tell_v we_o prov._n 21._o 4._o that_o the_o plough_v of_o a_o wicked_a man_n be_v sin_n that_o be_v strange_a the_o husbandry_n and_o tillage_n of_o the_o ground_n be_v general_o hold_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o honest_a the_o most_o innocent_a the_o most_o harmless_a calling_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o it_o be_v of_o itself_o and_o yet_o we_o see_v when_o a_o wicked_a man_n take_v the_o plough_n in_o hand_n when_o a_o man_n go_v to_o his_o plough_n with_o a_o ill_a mind_n and_o a_o ill_a conscience_n his_o very_a plow_a add_v to_o his_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n that_o that_o land_n which_o be_v plough_v sinful_o shall_v thrive_v according_o and_o become_v as_o bad_a and_o as_o barren_a as_o the_o owner_n a_o fruitful_a land_n do_v god_n make_v barren_a for_o the_o wickedness_n of_o they_o that_o dwell_v therein_o 3._o because_o it_o be_v a_o sensible_a and_o a_o palpable_a judgement_n as_o god_n almighty_n tell_v cain_n gen._n 4._o 7._o that_o he_o shall_v be_v curse_v from_o the_o earth_n the_o lord_n know_v that_o cain_n care_v not_o to_o be_v curse_v from_o heaven_n and_o to_o be_v banish_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o brand_v for_o a_o reprobate_n but_o to_o be_v curse_v from_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v curse_v in_o earthly_a thing_n he_o be_v a_o tiller_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o will_v go_v near_o to_o his_o heart_n of_o any_o judgement_n even_o such_o be_v the_o disposition_n of_o every_o man_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o david_n term_v earthly_a mind_a man_n they_o do_v not_o value_v nor_o care_n to_o be_v curse_v from_o heaven_n to_o be_v excommunicate_v out_o of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o out_o of_o the_o bless_a company_n of_o all_o faithful_a people_n which_o censure_n of_o excommunication_n if_o it_o be_v right_o carry_v with_o a_o clavae_n non_fw-la erante_fw-la as_o the_o schoolman_n speak_v when_o there_o be_v no_o error_n commit_v in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o key_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a punishment_n under_o heaven_n but_o carnal_a man_n be_v not_o sensible_a of_o this_o and_o therefore_o god_n will_v punish_v they_o in_o that_o wherein_o they_o be_v sensible_a in_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n in_o their_o corn_n and_o cattle_n etc._n etc._n in_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v near_o and_o dear_a to_o they_o as_o when_o david_n sling_v his_o stone_n at_o goliath_n if_o he_o have_v strike_v he_o upon_o any_o part_n of_o his_o harness_n he_o have_v never_o feel_v the_o blow_n but_o strike_v he_o as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o forehead_n which_o be_v naked_a and_o tender_a that_o sink_v he_o present_o so_o it_o be_v with_o carnal_a man_n for_o spiritual_a judgement_n they_o be_v harness_v their_o heart_n be_v harden_v their_o conscience_n be_v sear_v they_o have_v as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d a_o horny_a hoof_n as_o it_o be_v grow_v over_o their_o heart_n that_o make_v they_o insensible_a of_o any_o spiritual_a blow_n that_o can_v light_v upon_o they_o therefore_o almighty_a god_n know_v in_o what_o part_n they_o lie_v naked_a in_o what_o kind_n they_o be_v tender_o affect_v namely_o in_o their_o affection_n to_o earthly_a thing_n strike_v they_o there_o plague_v they_o in_o that_o and_o that_o sink_v they_o like_o nabal_n who_o heart_n die_v within_o he_o like_o a_o stone_n as_o we_o see_v in_o exodus_fw-la how_o pharaoh_n and_o the_o egyptian_n harden_v their_o heart_n and_o out_o stand_v all_o the_o plague_n of_o egypt_n till_o god_n plague_v they_o in_o their_o child_n and_o that_o break_v their_o heart_n so_o believe_v it_o they_o that_o care_v not_o for_o spiritual_a punishment_n for_o the_o loss_n of_o god_n favour_n the_o loss_n of_o heaven_n the_o loss_n and_o peril_n of_o their_o own_o soul_n god_n will_v find_v a_o time_n to_o punish_v they_o in_o that_o which_o they_o do_v and_o shall_v care_v for_o in_o their_o corn_n in_o their_o substance_n in_o that_o which_o be_v near_a and_o dear_a to_o they_o as_o he_o do_v these_o israely_n here_o because_o they_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o the_o want_n of_o grace_n god_n punish_v they_o with_o that_o will_v make_v they_o sensible_a with_o the_o want_n of_o rain_n that_o when_o they_o have_v plough_v and_o sow_v their_o land_n and_o bestow_v all_o their_o care_n and_o cost_n all_o shall_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o want_v of_o moisture_n to_o refresh_v the_o earth_n these_o or_o the_o like_a reason_n i_o suppose_v may_v move_v eliah_n to_o pray_v and_o procure_v this_o kind_n of_o judgement_n by_o the_o way_n if_o any_o man_n desire_v to_o know_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n be_v not_o thus_o marvellous_a in_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o he_o be_v in_o eliah_n and_o those_o other_o prophet_n of_o the_o law_n why_o we_o that_o be_v his_o evangelicall_n prophet_n can_v do_v such_o wonder_n in_o our_o day_n as_o they_o do_v in_o they_o answer_v though_o that_o
