we_o have_v a_o man_n think_v if_o he_o have_v a_o great_a estate_n his_o comfort_n shall_v be_v more_o if_o he_o have_v many_o friend_n he_o think_v he_o shall_v be_v safe_a say_v the_o lord_n you_o know_v that_o place_n psal._n 62._o if_o riches_n increase_v 10._o set_v not_o your_o heart_n upon_o they_o for_o say_v he_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v little_a good_a power_n and_o kindness_n

according_a to_o their_o riches_n but_o he_o reward_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o therefore_o think_v this_o with_o thyself_o thou_o that_o have_v abundance_n of_o outward_a comfort_n if_o the_o lord_n do_v reward_v thou_o according_a to_o they_o thou_o have_v cause_v to_o rejoice_v in_o they_o but_o he_o will_v reward_v thou_o according_a to_o thy_o work_n and_o therefore_o trust_v in_o he_o learn_v to_o reckon_v he_o to_o be_v all-sufficient_a learn_v to_o be_v to_o he_o alone_o but_o ob._n may_v not_o a_o man_n that_o trust_v not_o in_o god_n but_o look_v a_o little_a too_o much_o to_o the_o creature_n prosper_v a_o man_n again_o that_o withdraw_v his_o heart_n from_o

immutable_a he_o must_v needs_o do_v the_o same_o go_v through_o all_o the_o scripture_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o still_o the_o evil_a in_o the_o end_n be_v punish_v and_o the_o good_a in_o the_o end_n be_v reward_v he_o be_v the_o same_o god_n still_o he_o be_v still_o as_o holy_a as_o he_o be_v still_o his_o eye_n can_v abide_v iniquity_n still_o he_o be_v as_o powerful_a as_o he_o be_v there_o be_v no_o change_n in_o he_o nor_o shadow_n of_o change_v and_o therefore_o think_v with_o thyself_o he_o that_o be_v so_o severe_a against_o saul_n for_o break_v the_o commandment_n he_o that_o be_v so_o severe_a against_o balaam_n for_o love_v the_o wage_n of_o unrighteousness_n he_o that_o be_v so_o severe_a against_o vzziah_n for_o touch_v the_o ark_n for_o meddle_v with_o holy_a

we_o when_o we_o come_v with_o carnal_a affection_n to_o perform_v holy_a duty_n he_o be_v the_o same_o and_o though_o he_o do_v it_o not_o to_o thou_o on_o the_o sudden_a as_o he_o do_v to_o they_o for_o he_o do_v it_o to_o they_o for_o example_n that_o they_o may_v be_v rule_n for_o future_a time_n that_o he_o may_v not_o only_o deliver_v precept_n but_o may_v second_v they_o with_o example_n yet_o be_v the_o same_o god_n he_o will_v do_v it_o to_o thou_o at_o length_n if_o thou_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o sin_n he_o that_o strike_v ananias_n and_o saphira_n with_o death_n for_o speak_v against_o the_o truth_n and_o against_o their_o conscience_n he_o will_v do_v the_o same_o to_o thou_o though_o he_o do_v it_o not_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n because_o it_o be_v extraordinary_a he_o draw_v they_o out_o for_o example_n and_o so_o i_o may_v say_v of_o reward_n it_o be_v certain_a he_o will_v do_v the_o same_o moreover_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o because_o god_n blessedness_n stand_v in_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o own_o law_n it_o in_o proceed_v according_a to_o it_o take_v all_o the_o creature_n under_o the_o sun_n and_o their_o happiness_n stand_v in_o keep_v close_o to_o that_o rule_n that_o god_n have_v give_v they_o the_o fire_n be_v well_o as_o long_o as_o it_o follow_v that_o rule_n the_o water_n and_o so_o every_o creature_n man_n to_o who_o the_o law_n be_v give_v his_o happiness_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n in_o do_v it_o thou_o shall_v live_v the_o great_a god_n have_v make_v a_o law_n to_o himself_o that_o be_v he_o have_v express_v himself_o his_o blessedness_n consist_v in_o keep_v it_o and_o therefore_o be_v assure_v that_o whatsoever_o his_o law_n be_v it_o shall_v certain_o be_v perform_v the_o law_n you_o know_v be_v this_o either_o thou_o shall_v keep_v these_o thing_n or_o thou_o shall_v die_v for_o it_o now_o a_o disjunctive_a proposition_n be_v true_a we_o say_v if_o either_o part_n be_v true_a that_o be_v if_o a_o man_n do_v not_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o necessity_n he_o must_v be_v punish_v or_o else_o god_n law_n shall_v be_v break_v but_o if_o either_o be_v fulfil_v the_o law_n be_v keep_v so_o i_o say_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n must_v do_v that_o wherein_o his_o blessedness_n consist_v though_o a_o sinner_n prolong_v his_o day_n and_o though_o his_o punishment_n be_v long_o defer_v and_o sentence_n be_v not_o speedy_o execute_v yet_o certain_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v execute_v for_o the_o lord_n must_v needs_o act_v according_a to_o that_o rule_n he_o have_v set_v to_o himself_o last_o of_o all_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v not_o do_v it_o he_o shall_v loose_v his_o glory_n if_o wicked_a man_n shall_v always_o prosper_v if_o good_a man_n shall_v always_o fare_v ill_a man_n will_v say_v there_o be_v no_o god_n in_o heaven_n to_o rule_v thing_n to_o administer_v thing_n by_o his_o providence_n therefore_o say_v he_o i_o will_v bring_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o you_o may_v know_v that_o i_o be_o the_o lord_n so_o then_o see_v thou_o a_o wicked_a man_n do_v wicked_o and_o yet_o not_o punish_v he_o can_v continue_v long_o the_o lord_n shall_v loose_v his_o glory_n if_o he_o shall_v see_v thou_o a_o good_a man_n that_o continue_v in_o his_o righteousness_n and_o yet_o he_o suffer_v adversity_n and_o affliction_n he_o be_v set_v in_o a_o low_a place_n he_o walk_v on_o foot_n etc._n etc._n he_o can_v continue_v so_o long_o for_o the_o lord_n shall_v loose_v his_o glory_n and_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o loose_v his_o glory_n he_o be_v exceed_o tender_a of_o his_o glory_n and_o therefore_o this_o conclusion_n must_v be_v set_v down_o that_o though_o for_o a_o time_n all_o thing_n fall_v alike_o to_o good_a &_o bad_a though_o god_n dispense_v they_o promiscuous_o for_o a_o season_n yet_o certain_o the_o issue_n shall_v be_v it_o shall_v be_v well_o with_o the_o righteous_a and_o it_o shall_v be_v ill_a with_o the_o wicked_a therefore_o to_o proceed_v a_o little_a further_o let_v not_o holy_a man_n be_v discourage_v use_v because_o they_o see_v thing_n go_v ill_a with_o the_o church_n be_v not_o discourage_v at_o it_o for_o it_o shall_v be_v well_o with_o they_o in_o due_a season_n you_o shall_v see_v psal._n 129._o 3._o 3._o that_o the_o lord_n suffer_v evil_a man_n to_o plough_v the_o church_n and_o to_o make_v long_a furrow_n on_o the_o back_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o say_v he_o in_o the_o four_o verse_n the_o lord_n will_v cut_v the_o cord_n of_o the_o wicked_a he_o will_v cut_v their_o trace_n they_o plough_v long_o and_o make_v deep_a furrow_n but_o yet_o the_o lord_n at_o length_n cut_v the_o cord_n of_o the_o wicked_a the_o horse_n that_o draw_v the_o plough_n as_o long_o as_o the_o trace_n hold_v they_o draw_v but_o when_o they_o be_v

repent_v and_o cry_v to_o the_o lord_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v every_o where_o then_o say_v the_o text_n the_o lord_n hear_v they_o and_o cut_v the_o cord_n of_o the_o wicked_a he_o suffer_v they_o to_o plough_v no_o long_o but_o these_o place_n will_v be_v the_o clear_a if_o you_o compare_v they_o with_o isa._n 28._o 24._o say_v the_o lord_n there_o 24._o do_v the_o ploughman_n plow_v all_o
