against_o they_o by_o which_o example_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v admonish_v that_o we_o deceive_v not_o ourselves_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o world_n to_o think_v that_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v turn_v from_o we_o before_o we_o turn_v from_o our_o sin_n wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o flatter_v ourselves_o as_o the_o reprobate_n do_v when_o they_o have_v escape_v some_o particular_a punishment_n this_o danger_n be_v overcome_v this_o brunt_n be_v past_a this_o storm_n be_v blow_v over_o etc._n etc._n for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o sin_n and_o seek_v not_o ro_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o the_o lord_n the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v still_o kindle_v against_o we_o yea_o more_a and_o more_o provoke_v to_o punish_v we_o and_o if_o one_o plague_n be_v cease_v a_o other_o shall_v begin_v when_o famine_n be_v stay_v the_o pestilence_n shall_v rage_v and_o if_o that_o will_v not_o reform_v we_o some_o other_o plague_n shall_v be_v send_v upon_o us._n the_o lord_n can_v want_v no_o whip_n so_o long_o as_o his_o wrath_n be_v bend_v to_o scourge_v we_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o obstinate_o set_v ourselves_o against_o he_o to_o try_v whether_o he_o will_v be_v soon_o weary_v in_o strike_v or_o we_o in_o bear_v his_o stripe_n but_o let_v we_o humble_o and_o at_o once_o cast_v down_o ourselves_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n be_v sorry_a for_o they_o and_o forsake_v they_o and_o then_o the_o way_n to_o reconciliation_n shall_v be_v open_v by_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v please_v with_o we_o and_o his_o wrath_n pacify_v towards_o us._n we_o have_v further_a to_o note_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o metaphor_n when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v kindle_v which_o kind_n of_o speech_n be_v very_o often_o use_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o compare_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o fire_n who_o force_n when_o it_o have_v take_v strength_n can_v not_o easy_o be_v stay_v and_o who_o property_n be_v to_o consume_v all_o thing_n that_o minister_v matter_n unto_o it_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n the_o lord_n himself_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o justice_n be_v call_v a_o consume_a fire_n to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o we_o shall_v stand_v in_o fear_n of_o god_n justice_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o careful_a not_o to_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n against_o we_o as_o we_o be_v careful_a not_o to_o minister_v matter_n unto_o fire_n which_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o consume_v ourselves_o and_o all_o that_o ever_o we_o have_v our_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n and_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o be_v kindle_v against_o us._n therefore_o as_o there_o be_v no_o dally_v with_o fire_n when_o any_o light_a substance_n be_v near_o which_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v flame_n so_o there_o be_v no_o dissemble_n before_o god_n the_o fire_n of_o who_o wrath_n and_o justice_n be_v kindle_v with_o our_o sin_n &_o wickedness_n for_o as_o y_fw-fr e_o lord_n hate_v &_o abhor_v all_o sin_n and_o ungodliness_n so_o his_o justice_n be_v kindle_v like_o fire_n against_o y_o e_o same_o to_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v the_o world_n of_o all_o unrighteousness_n let_v not_o sinner_n therefore_o think_v to_o stand_v in_o his_o presence_n which_o be_v a_o consume_a fire_n before_o who_o they_o shall_v melt_v even_o as_o wax_v and_o vanish_v away_o as_o smoke_n before_o who_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o stubble_n and_o chaff_n that_o be_v set_v on_o fire_n and_o can_v not_o be_v quench_v and_o let_v we_o which_o trust_v in_o his_o mercy_n not_o be_v high_o mind_v but_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o provoke_v not_o his_o wrath_n to_o bekindled_a against_o we_o through_o our_o manifold_a sin_n and_o wickedness_n who_o wrath_n if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a kindle_v as_o the_o prophet_n say_v no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o stand_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o justice_n but_o it_o will_v appear_v how_o happy_a they_o be_v which_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o his_o mercy_n and_o if_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v but_o a_o little_a kindle_v have_v so_o notable_a effect_n what_o be_v to_o be_v look_v for_o when_o it_o be_v whole_o inflame_v in_o fury_n against_o we_o for_o gross_a &_o manifest_a contempt_n of_o his_o glorious_a majesty_n for_o as_o contempt_n in_o man_n be_v the_o chief_a cause_n in_o provoke_v they_o to_o anger_n and_o the_o great_a contempt_n provoke_v the_o great_a anger_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n who_o justice_n be_v despise_v in_o all_o sin_n and_o disobedience_n of_o his_o law_n but_o chief_o in_o that_o profane_a and_o profess_a contempt_n which_o we_o see_v to_o bear_v the_o sway_n among_o great_a number_n of_o the_o wicked_a which_o open_o and_o without_o all_o fear_n of_o his_o justice_n have_v sell_v themselves_o like_o achab_n to_o commit_v all_o manner_n of_o sin_n with_o greediness_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v yet_o more_o kindle_v against_o israel_n now_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v how_o it_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n &_o righteousness_n of_o god_n that_o israel_n have_v provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n the_o heart_n of_o david_n be_v move_v to_o number_v the_o people_n that_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v kindle_v against_o israel_n he_o stir_v up_o david_n against_o they_o for_o it_o seem_v contrary_a to_o reason_n that_o the_o people_n have_v deserve_v punishment_n the_o lord_n shall_v deal_v with_o the_o prince_n for_o they_o but_o for_o so_o much_o as_o the_o prince_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o helm_n or_o stern_a by_o which_o the_o lord_n govern_v the_o whole_a commonalty_n of_o people_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v commit_v to_o their_o charge_n it_o stand_v well_o with_o his_o justice_n and_o wisdom_n also_o to_o move_v and_o stir_v up_o the_o prince_n against_o they_o when_o so_o ever_o their_o transgression_n shall_v provoke_v his_o righteousness_n to_o chasten_v they_o and_o even_o so_o say_v solomon_n prover._n 21._o as_o the_o stream_n of_o water_n or_o as_o it_o be_v now_o translate_v as_o a_o vessel_n in_o the_o stream_n of_o water_n so_o be_v the_o king_n hart_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n &_o whethersoever_o he_o will_v he_o inclm_v and_o move_v it_o either_o to_o the_o haven_n of_o prosperity_n if_o the_o people_n serve_v he_o or_o to_o the_o shore_n of_o danger_n and_o adversity_n if_o they_o provoke_v his_o wrath_n against_o they_o therefore_o as_o the_o stir_n of_o a_o ship_n by_o the_o master_n direct_v the_o ship_n whither_o he_o think_v good_a even_o so_o the_o lord_n move_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o prince_n which_o be_v as_o the_o stern_a of_o the_o ship_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n in_o his_o hand_n that_o they_o be_v not_o carry_v at_o all_o adventure_n whither_o the_o stream_n of_o water_n will_v drive_v they_o but_o whither_o so_o ever_o it_o please_v he_o either_o to_o the_o great_a and_o singular_a benefit_n of_o that_o people_n which_o fear_v the_o lord_n or_o for_o the_o correction_n and_o punishment_n of_o they_o which_o transgress_v his_o law_n and_o contemn_v his_o justice_n you_o hear_v now_o how_o well_o it_o agree_v not_o only_o with_o the_o justice_n but_o also_o with_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v move_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o king_n according_a to_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o people_n beside_o this_o we_o must_v also_o understand_v that_o as_o prince_n be_v public_a person_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o government_n of_o whole_a nation_n commit_v to_o their_o charge_n so_o also_o before_o the_o lord_n they_o be_v private_a person_n to_o be_v call_v to_o account_v not_o only_o for_o such_o thing_n as_o they_o do_v in_o their_o public_a government_n but_o also_o for_o such_o offence_n as_o they_o commit_v private_o as_o the_o son_n of_o adam_n among_o which_o there_o be_v none_o find_v so_o righteous_a but_o that_o in_o many_o thing_n they_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v accuse_v of_o any_o unrighteousness_n when_o the_o people_n have_v provoke_v his_o wrath_n and_o david_n can_v not_o justify_v himself_o before_o he_o if_o he_o stir_v up_o david_n heart_n against_o the_o people_n for_o their_o punishment_n and_o take_v occasion_n of_o the_o people_n sin_n to_o punish_v david_n himself_o for_o although_o here_o be_v no_o transgression_n of_o david_n express_v whereby_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v bring_v this_o punishment_n upon_o he_o yet_o david_n himself_o will_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v always_o sufficient_a cause_n in_o he_o why_o the_o lord_n

the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n by_o occasion_n of_o the_o plague_n which_o god_n send_v for_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o people_n sin_n david_n find_v out_o y_z e_z place_z which_z y_z e_z lord_n

and_o the_o pestilence_n be_v stay_v from_o rage_v any_o long_o among_o the_o people_n wherefore_o we_o see_v that_o although_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o his_o punishment_n be_v terrible_a for_o
