in_o the_o christian_a philosophy_n fast_v be_v subordinate_a to_o a_o high_a thing_n and_o as_o it_o shall_v put_v we_o in_o mind_n to_o abstain_v from_o fleshly_a lust_n so_o it_o be_v very_o apt_a in_o some_o body_n to_o promote_v piety_n and_o devotion_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v use_v to_o such_o a_o end_n as_o that_o so_o likewise_o for_o prayer_n and_o confess_v of_o our_o sin_n they_o be_v intend_v to_o render_v we_o more_o holy_a and_o religious_a to_o compose_v our_o thought_n to_o elevate_v our_o soul_n to_o god_n and_o that_o we_o may_v breathe_v out_o the_o very_a secret_n of_o our_o heart_n before_o he_o it_o be_v pity_n therefore_o that_o these_o duty_n shall_v be_v separate_v from_o their_o great_a end_n and_o design_n nay_o pray_v and_o fast_v and_o seek_v of_o god_n without_o reformation_n be_v but_o a_o take_n of_o god_n name_n in_o vain_a and_o a_o very_a mock_n of_o he_o so_o that_o when_o we_o seem_v to_o debase_v ourselves_o and_o appear_v before_o god_n in_o all_o posture_n of_o humiliation_n when_o we_o confess_v sin_n and_o pray_v against_o it_o and_o yet_o live_v in_o the_o love_n and_o practice_n of_o it_o we_o do_v instead_o of_o avert_v god_n judgement_n pull_v they_o down_o upon_o we_o and_o continue_v they_o long_o among_o we_o be_v persuade_v therefore_o to_o reform_v your_o life_n and_o turn_v unto_o god_n in_o good_a earnest_n do_v not_o only_o pray_v but_o practice_n as_o those_o mariner_n who_o cry_v every_o man_n to_o his_o god_n and_o withal_o cast_v jonah_n overboard_o cast_v out_o sin_n punish_v sinner_n and_o then_o the_o storm_n will_v cease_v let_v every_o one_o reform_v himself_o and_o endeavour_v to_o reform_v those_o that_o be_v his_o charge_n follow_v the_o example_n of_o that_o holy_a man_n 15._o who_o thus_o resolve_v as_o for_o i_o i_o and_o my_o house_n will_v serve_v the_o lord_n like_o unto_o which_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o that_o virtuous_a woman_n 16._o i_o and_o my_o

will_v be_v the_o most_o proper_a and_o compendious_a way_n to_o work_v a_o thorough_a amendment_n in_o the_o whole_a nation_n thus_o the_o good_a work_n will_v go_v on_o apace_o and_o come_v to_o perfection_n and_o to_o promote_v this_o reformation_n let_v i_o suggest_v these_o ensue_a truth_n unto_o you_o 1._o deliverance_n and_o mercy_n be_v promise_v to_o a_o nation_n upon_o this_o condition_n and_o upon_o no_o other_o thus_o run_v that_o answer_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o solomon_n 14._o if_o i_o shut_v up_o heaven_n that_o there_o be_v no_o rain_n or_o if_o i_o command_v the_o

se●k_v my_o face_n and_o turn_v from_o their_o wicked_a way_n then_o will_v i_o hear_v from_o heaven_n and_o will_v forgive_v their_o sin_n and_o will_v heal_v their_o land_n thus_o likewise_o you_o find_v it_o in_o that_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o jer●miah_n 8._o at_o what_o instant_a i_o shall_v speak_v concern_v a_o nation_n and_o concern_v a_o kingdom_n to_o pluck_v up_o and_o to_o pull_v down_o and_o to_o destroy_v it_o if_o that_o nation_n against_o who_o i_o have_v pronounce_v turn_v from_o their_o evil_n i_o will_v repent_v of_o the_o evil_a that_o i_o think_v to_o do_v unto_o they_o but_o 2._o put_v the_o case_n that_o the_o plague_n be_v remove_v and_o your_o sin_n still_o remain_v then_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o such_o a_o removal_n be_v not_o a_o mercy_n for_o god_n never_o take_v away_o his_o anger_n till_o you_o reform_v he_o often_o time_n indeed_o leave_v a_o nation_n and_o person_n to_o themselves_o and_o to_o their_o own_o sinful_a will_n and_o way_n but_o alas_o there_o be_v no_o great_a punishment_n than_o this_o and_o no_o plain_a sign_n of_o god_n displeasure_n it_o be_v sad_a when_o god_n speak_v unto_o a_o land_n as_o he_o do_v of_o old_a to_o judah_n 5._o ah_o sinful_a nation_n a_o people_n lade_v with_o iniquity_n a_o seed_n of_o evil_a do●rs_n child_n that_o ar●_n corrupter_n they_o have_v forsake_v the_o lord_n they_o have_v

and_o more_o the_o whole_a head_n be_v sick_a and_o the_o whole_a heart_n faint_a etc._n etc._n when_o the_o heavy_a stroke_n and_o plague_n when_o the_o great_a judgement_n and_o calamity_n will_v

take_v away_o the_o plague_n from_o pharaoh_n he_o send_v hardness_n of_o heart_n nay_o god_n may_v remove_v the_o plague_n and_o reserve_v you_o for_o hell_n and_o then_o you_o can_v say_v your_o
