therefore_o ask_v as_o they_o do_v jer._n 22.8_o wherefore_o have_v the_o lord_n do_v this_o to_o this_o great_a city_n the_o prophet_n there_o furnish_v i_o with_o a_o answer_n because_o they_o have_v forsake_v the_o covenant_n of_o the_o lord_n their_o god_n and_o worship_v other_o god_n and_o serve_v they_o i._n e._n in_o plain_a english_a they_o have_v sin_v against_o their_o god_n they_o

answer_n be_v make_v in_o our_o case_n and_o how_o well_o may_v god_n judgement_n against_o we_o be_v justify_v upon_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o i_o will_v much_o rather_o man_n own_o thought_n shall_v speak_v than_o force_v i_o to_o become_v their_o accuser_n i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o invidious_a task_n to_o recount_v the_o sin_n of_o a_o great_a body_n of_o man_n and_o i_o do_v not_o delight_v to_o rake_v into_o the_o imperfection_n of_o my_o brethren_n it_o be_v not_o a_o acceptable_a performance_n to_o go_v to_o convince_v man_n of_o their_o sin_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o they_o see_v they_o i_o do_v not_o therefore_o desire_v to_o become_v your_o confessor_n at_o this_o time_n nor_o will_v i_o publish_v our_o shame_n to_o the_o insult_a of_o our_o enemy_n but_o i_o must_v have_v liberty_n to_o say_v as_o these_o man_n by_o the_o prophet_n do_v chap._n 1._o 18._o the_o lord_n be_v righteous_a for_o we_o have_v rebel_v against_o he_o in_o what_o instance_n our_o

lamentation_n be_v pen_v it_o be_v certain_a we_o have_v equal_v it_o in_o sin_v nay_o if_o we_o have_v exceed_v she_o in_o suffer_v it_o have_v be_v but_o just_a for_o we_o have_v exceed_v her_o sin_n and_o to_o borrow_v the_o prophetical_a emblem_n if_o she_o be_v aholah_n we_o have_v be_v aholibah_n and_o not_o only_o transcribe_v but_o exceed_v her_o fornication_n if_o the_o fire_n kindle_v upon_o we_o and_o prevail_v it_o be_v because_o we_o have_v prepare_v combustible_n for_o it_o to_o consume_v and_o feed_v on_o it_o be_v our_o sin_n that_o oil_v the_o flame_n and_o first_o kindle_v the_o rage_a consumer_n it_o be_v our_o wickedness_n that_o more_o than_o the_o precede_a drought_n make_v we_o fit_a for_o burn_v and_o it_o be_v want_v of_o penitent_a tear_n more_o than_o of_o water_n that_o render_v it_o unquenchable_a if_o the_o stone_n be_v calcine_v in_o our_o wall_n and_o the_o beam_n consume_v to_o powder_n it_o be_v because_o these_o have_v cry_v each_o to_o other_o as_o unable_a to_o support_v the_o load_n of_o our_o fraud_n and_o violence_n and_o if_o the_o almighty_a thunder_v against_o we_o in_o flame_n it_o be_v our_o exorbitance_n that_o have_v create_v cloud_n for_o those_o thunder_n to_o breed_v in_o if_o our_o habitation_n tumble_v to_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v because_o our_o sin_n have_v clamour_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o if_o god_n fight_v against_o we_o in_o flame_n of_o fire_n it_o

be_v because_o we_o have_v engage_v before_o in_o a_o dare_a and_o impious_a theomachie_n if_o our_o temple_n be_v make_v habitation_n for_o owl_n it_o be_v because_o we_o have_v make_v they_o den_n of_o thief_n if_o our_o street_n be_v make_v lurk_v place_n for_o robber_n it_o be_v because_o we_o have_v fill_v they_o before_o with_o violence_n if_o the_o prophet_n be_v not_o to_o be_v see_v among_o we_o it_o be_v because_o we_o have_v pour_v contempt_n upon_o they_o and_o if_o the_o elder_n sit_v no_o more_o in_o our_o gate_n it_o be_v because_o those_o gate_n have_v be_v corrupt_v with_o injustice_n if_o our_o great_a convention_n and_o hall_n be_v not_o it_o be_v but_o to_o impose_v a_o fast_a for_o their_o former_a plethory_n and_o in_o a_o word_n if_o our_o city_n be_v make_v a_o fiery_a oven_n it_o be_v because_o we_o have_v contract_v dross_n from_o which_o we_o need_v a_o refine_n if_o god_n have_v punish_v to_o the_o height_n of_o our_o demerit_n we_o have_v not_o be_v here_o now_o either_o to_o complain_v of_o his_o severity_n or_o to_o praise_v his_o mercy_n but_o i_o pass_v from_o this_o theme_n also_o only_o with_o this_o request_n that_o we_o sober_o

his_o terrible_a judgement_n than_o which_o there_o be_v not_o many_o rare_a instrument_n of_o virtue_n or_o more_o effectual_a to_o restrain_v vice_n who_o will_v not_o fear_v thou_o o_o thou_o

i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o judgement_n wrought_v such_o awful_a apprehension_n of_o god_n when_o it_o be_v present_a and_o to_o man_n in_o any_o measure_n instruct_v in_o
