i_o shall_v inquire_v who_o they_o be_v that_o may_v most_o deserve_o be_v judge_v to_o fall_v under_o this_o curse_n 1._o it_o be_v a_o high_a affront_n to_o god_n after_o the_o clear_a demonstration_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o power_n for_o man_n still_o to_o persist_v in_o blindness_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a despise_v of_o god_n two_o chief_a attribute_n his_o wisdom_n and_o his_o power_n 1._o it_o be_v a_o contempt_n of_o his_o wisdom_n the_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god_n be_v like_o himself_o infinite_a by_o this_o he_o be_v able_a to_o penetrate_v into_o the_o hide_a thought_n and_o contrivance_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o to_o discover_v all_o their_o secret_a and_o conceal_a design_n woe_n unto_o they_o say_v the_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o seek_v deep_a to_o hide_v their_o counsel_n from_o the_o lord_n and_o their_o work_n be_v in_o the_o dark_a and_o they_o 15._o isa_n 29._o 15._o say_v who_o see_v we_o sure_o your_o turn_n of_o thing_n upside_o down_o shall_v be_v esteem_v as_o the_o potter_n clay_n god_n know_v the_o whole_a bent_n and_o inclination_n of_o man_n for_o he_o first_o endue_v their_o mind_n with_o what_o faculty_n and_o power_n they_o have_v he_o that_o make_v the_o heart_n sure_o know_v all_o its_o turn_n and_o wind_n all_o its_o corner_n and_o labyrinth_n thus_o holy_a david_n argue_v he_o 15._o psal_n 33._o 15._o fashion_v all_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o he_o understand_v all_o their_o work_n that_o be_v the_o work_v act_v in_o their_o heart_n in_o the_o innermost_a closet_n and_o recess_n of_o the_o soul_n he_o need_v no_o spy_n to_o inform_v he_o of_o man_n consultation_n all_o thing_n be_v naked_a and_o open_a to_o his_o eye_n from_o all_o eternity_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o infinite_a knowledge_n god_n be_v privy_a to_o all_o plot_n be_v they_o never_o so_o close_o lay_v how_o successful_o may_v men_n carry_v on_o their_o plot_n if_o they_o can_v be_v but_o once_o assure_v that_o no_o body_n plot_v but_o themselves_o but_o this_o be_v sometime_o apt_a to_o startle_v they_o and_o make_v they_o less_o confident_a of_o their_o project_n when_o they_o have_v a_o suspicion_n that_o other_o be_v at_o work_n too_o and_o such_o as_o be_v every_o way_n equal_a to_o themselves_o in_o cunning_a and_o conduct_n now_o in_o this_o particular_a god_n by_o his_o infinite_a knowledge_n have_v a_o vast_a advantage_n against_o all_o the_o policy_n of_o man_n as_o they_o plot_v so_o do_v he_o too_o he_o have_v design_n as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o design_n beyond_o they_o he_o be_v always_o present_a at_o their_o cabal_n and_o consult_v and_o shift_v meeting_n and_o therefore_o can_v trace_v and_o observe_v their_o motion_n and_o it_o be_v wonderful_a to_o consider_v what_o method_n and_o instrument_n god_n almighty_a be_v sometime_o please_v to_o make_v use_n of_o to_o baffle_v the_o most_o dark_a and_o secret_a conspiracy_n how_o he_o do_v sometime_o employ_v his_o very_a enemy_n for_o the_o promote_a of_o his_o own_o cause_n how_o he_o can_v inspire_v sometime_o some_o of_o the_o very_a agent_n to_o betray_v the_o villainy_n of_o their_o fellow_n how_o he_o can_v govern_v and_o over-rule_v both_o the_o understanding_n and_o will_n of_o man_n as_o shall_v best_o serve_v his_o own_o wise_a purpose_n and_o decree_n let_v man_n design_v thing_n never_o so_o wary_o and_o make_v they_o never_o so_o secure_a even_o to_o a_o confidence_n of_o a_o infallibility_n let_v they_o reckon_v of_o it_o as_o a_o blow_n that_o can_v miss_v yet_o after_o all_o god_n can_v defeat_v and_o frustrate_v they_o he_o can_v clap_v in_o his_o arm_n just_a between_o the_o dagger_n and_o the_o body_n he_o can_v as_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n speak_v put_v a_o hook_n 20._o isa_n 37._o 20._o into_o the_o nose_n and_o a_o bridle_n into_o the_o lip_n of_o a_o proud_a and_o insolent_a enemy_n and_o can_v turn_v he_o back_o by_o the_o way_n that_o he_o come_v if_o therefore_o god_n be_v of_o that_o infinite_a knowledge_n as_o to_o be_v always_o present_a to_o man_n most_o retire_a thought_n if_o he_o see_v from_o all_o eternity_n every_o little_a occurrence_n that_o can_v either_o further_o or_o prevent_v their_o design_n how_o plain_o do_v those_o man_n contemn_v and_o vilify_v god_n
