in_o the_o circumstance_n of_o his_o story_n be_v the_o confidence_n or_o presumption_n of_o law_n by_o which_o judge_n give_v sentence_n so_o shall_v our_o word_n be_v not_o only_o the_o mean_n of_o declare_v a_o secret_a sentence_n but_o a_o certain_a instrument_n of_o be_v absolve_v or_o condemn_v but_o upon_o these_o premise_n we_o see_v what_o reason_n we_o have_v to_o fear_v the_o sentence_n of_o that_o day_n who_o have_v sin_v with_o our_o tongue_n so_o often_o so_o continual_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o action_n to_o be_v account_v for_o we_o have_v enough_o in_o this_o account_n to_o make_v we_o die_v and_o yet_o have_v commit_v so_o many_o evil_a action_n that_o if_o our_o word_n be_v whole_o forget_v we_o have_v infinite_a reason_n to_o sear_v concern_v the_o event_n of_o that_o horrible_a sentence_n the_o effect_n of_o which_o consideration_n be_v this_o that_o we_o set_v a_o guard_n before_o our_o lip_n and_o watch_v over_o our_o action_n with_o a_o care_n equal_a to_o that_o fear_n which_o shall_v be_v at_o doomsday_n when_o we_o be_v to_o pass_v our_o sad_a account_n but_o i_o have_v some_o consideration_n to_o interpose_v 1._o but_o that_o the_o sadness_n of_o this_o may_v a_o little_a be_v relieve_v and_o our_o 1._o endeavour_n be_v encourage_v to_o a_o timely_a care_n and_o repentance_n consider_v that_o this_o great_a sentence_n although_o it_o shall_v pass_v concern_v little_a thing_n yet_o it_o shall_v not_o pass_v by_o little_a portion_n but_o by_o general_a measure_n not_o by_o the_o little_a error_n of_o one_o day_n but_o by_o the_o great_a proportion_n of_o our_o life_n for_o god_n take_v not_o notice_n of_o the_o infirmity_n of_o honest_a person_n that_o always_o endeavour_v to_o avoid_v every_o sin_n but_o in_o little_a intervening_a instance_n be_v surprise_v but_o he_o judge_v we_o by_o single_a action_n if_o they_o be_v great_a and_o of_o evil_a effect_n and_o by_o little_a small_a instance_n if_o they_o be_v habitual_a no_o man_n can_v take_v care_n concern_v every_o minute_n and_o therefore_o concern_v it_o christ_n will_v not_o pass_v sentence_n but_o by_o the_o discernible_a portion_n of_o our_o time_n by_o humane_a action_n by_o thing_n of_o choice_n and_o deliberation_n and_o by_o general_a precept_n of_o care_n and_o watchfulness_n this_o sentence_n shall_v be_v exact_v 2_o the_o sentence_n of_o that_o day_n shall_v be_v pass_v not_o by_o 2._o the_o proportion_n of_o a_o angel_n but_o by_o the_o measure_n of_o a_o man_n the_o first_o folly_n be_v not_o unpardonable_a but_o may_v be_v recover_v and_o the_o second_o be_v dangerous_a and_o the_o three_o be_v more_o fatal_a but_o nothing_o be_v unpardonable_a but_o perseverance_n in_o evil_a course_n 3_o the_o last_o judgement_n shall_v be_v transact_v by_o the_o same_o 3._o principle_n by_o which_o we_o be_v guide_v here_o not_o by_o strange_a and_o secret_a proposition_n or_o by_o the_o fancy_n of_o man_n or_o by_o the_o subtlety_n of_o useless_a distinction_n or_o evil_a persuasion_n not_o by_o the_o scruple_n of_o the_o credulous_a or_o the_o interest_n of_o sect_n nor_o the_o proverb_n of_o prejudice_n nor_o the_o uncertain_a definition_n of_o they_o that_o give_v law_n to_o subject_n by_o expound_v the_o decree_n of_o prince_n but_o by_o the_o plain_a rule_n of_o justice_n by_o the_o ten_o commandment_n by_o the_o first_o apprehension_n of_o conscience_n by_o the_o plain_a rule_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o a_o honest_a mind_n and_o a_o certain_a justice_n so_o that_o by_o this_o restraint_n and_o limit_n of_o the_o final_a sentence_n we_o be_v secure_v we_o shall_v not_o fall_v by_o scruple_n or_o by_o ignorance_n by_o interest_n or_o by_o faction_n by_o false_a persuasion_n of_o other_o or_o invincible_a prejudice_n of_o our_o own_o but_o we_o shall_v stand_v or_o fall_v by_o plain_a and_o easy_a proposition_n by_o chastity_n or_o uncleanness_n by_o justice_n or_o unjustice_n by_o robbery_n or_o restitution_n and_o of_o this_o we_o have_v a_o great_a testimony_n by_o our_o judge_n and_o lord_n himself_o whatsoever_o you_o shall_v bind_v in_o earth_n shall_v be_v bind_v in_o heaven_n and_o whatsoever_o you_o lose_v shall_v be_v loose_v there_o that_o be_v you_o shall_v stand_v or_o fall_v according_a to_o the_o sermon_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n be_v command_v to_o preach_v so_o you_o must_v live_v here_o and_o so_o you_o must_v be_v judge_v hereafter_o you_o must_v not_o look_v for_o that_o sentence_n by_o secret_a decree_n or_o obscure_a doctrine_n but_o by_o plain_a precept_n and_o certain_a rule_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o some_o more_o degree_n of_o mercy_n 4._o that_o sentence_n shall_v pass_v upon_o we_o not_o after_o 4._o the_o measure_n of_o nature_n and_o possibility_n and_o utmost_a extent_n but_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o covenant_n we_o shall_v be_v judge_v as_o christian_n rather_o then_o as_o man_n that_o be_v as_o person_n to_o who_o much_o be_v pardon_v and_o much_o be_v pity_v and_o many_o thing_n be_v not_o accidental_o but_o consequent_o indulge_v and_o great_a help_n be_v minister_v and_o many_o remedy_n supply_v and_o some_o mercy_n extraregular_o convey_v and_o their_o hope_n enlarge_v upon_o the_o stock_n of_o a_o infinite_a mercy_n that_o have_v no_o

now_o upon_o these_o premise_n we_o may_v dare_v to_o consider_v what_o the_o sentence_n itself_o shall_v be_v that_o shall_v never_o be_v reverse_v but_o shall_v last_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o

of_o thing_n which_o be_v appropriate_a to_o that_o society_n the_o purpose_n of_o this_o caution_n be_v that_o every_o good_a man_n be_v careful_a that_o he_o do_v not_o mingle_v his_o devotion_n in_o the_o communion_n of_o heretical_a person_n and_o in_o schismatical_a conventicle_n for_o although_o he_o be_v like_o they_o that_o follow_v absalon_n in_o the_o simplicity_n of_o their_o heart_n yet_o his_o intermediall_a fortune_n and_o the_o event_n of_o his_o present_a affair_n may_v be_v the_o same_o with_o absaloms_n and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o light_a thing_n that_o we_o curious_o

and_o when_o we_o have_v throw_v out_o a_o drunkard_n possible_o we_o have_v entertain_v a_o hypocrite_n or_o when_o a_o swearer_n be_v go_v a_o oppressor_n may_v stay_v still_o or_o if_o that_o be_v remedy_v yet_o pride_n be_v soon_o discernible_a but_o not_o easy_o judicable_a but_o that_o which_o be_v of_o caution_n in_o this_o question_n be_v that_o we_o never_o mingle_v with_o those_o who_o very_a combination_n be_v a_o sin_n such_o as_o be_v corah_n and_o his_o company_n that_o rebel_v against_o moses_n their_o prince_n and_o dathan_n and_o abiram_n that_o make_v a_o schism_n in_o

and_o all_o those_o that_o be_v abuse_v in_o their_o communion_n do_v perish_v in_o the_o gain_n say_v of_o corah_n it_o be_v a_o sad_a thing_n to_o see_v a_o good_a man_n cozen_v by_o fair_a

this_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a sadness_n that_o such_o a_o man_n shall_v lose_v all_o his_o prayer_n to_o very_a many_o purpose_n god_n will_v not_o respect_v the_o offering_n of_o those_o man_n who_o assemble_v by_o a_o peevish_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o although_o god_n in_o pity_n regard_v the_o desire_n of_o a_o good_a man_n if_o innocent_o abuse_v yet_o as_o it_o unite_v in_o that_o assembly_n god_n will_v not_o hear_v it_o to_o any_o purpose_n of_o blessing_n and_o holiness_n unless_o we_o
