worse_o but_o still_o crush_v all_o imposture_n and_o discountenance_v all_o villainy_n and_o hypocrisy_n at_o its_o first_o set_v out_o in_o the_o world_n where_o will_v be_v the_o patience_n and_o faith_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o take_v his_o word_n for_o their_o rule_n and_o their_o comfort_n and_o live_v in_o the_o expectation_n of_o his_o promise_n but_o when_o iniquity_n grow_v and_o thrive_v and_o can_v plead_v prescription_n and_o authority_n when_o it_o have_v stand_v long_o enough_o to_o have_v some_o colour_n for_o antiquity_n and_o have_v obtain_v interest_n enough_o to_o pretend_v to_o a_o kind_n of_o universality_n than_o it_o will_v be_v see_v who_o they_o be_v that_o love_n god_n and_o truth_n and_o goodness_n that_o be_v not_o

god_n in_o his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n bear_v with_o infinite_a patience_n those_o provocation_n for_o a_o long_a time_n together_o which_o he_o can_v be_v avenge_v of_o in_o a_o moment_n and_o which_o he_o utter_o abominate_v which_o be_v the_o first_o observation_n upon_o the_o text._n 2._o the_o second_o be_v that_o god_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o just_a in_o the_o final_a destruction_n of_o incurable_a and_o obstinate_a sinner_n when_o their_o iniquity_n be_v full_a and_o ripe_a for_o vengeance_n for_o as_o there_o be_v the_o patience_n of_o god_n see_v for_o four_o hundred_o year_n together_o while_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o amorites_n be_v grow_v from_o bad_a to_o worse_o so_o at_o the_o end_n of_o that_o period_n the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v see_v when_o their_o iniquity_n be_v full_a to_o grow_v worse_o for_o the_o forbearance_n of_o god_n be_v the_o most_o criminal_a presumption_n in_o the_o world_n and_o when_o man_n be_v come_v to_o that_o pass_n as_o quite_o to_o forget_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n or_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v to_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o he_o either_o approve_v or_o at_o least_o connive_n at_o their_o impiety_n then_o the_o same_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n which_o hitherto_o have_v keep_v off_o their_o punishment_n will_v bring_v they_o on_o swift_o and_o sudden_o for_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n if_o the_o degeneracy_n and_o the_o impudence_n of_o sinner_n shall_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o flourish_v long_o there_o will_v be_v no_o trial_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o honest_a man_n so_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v suffer_v to_o last_v always_o the_o temptation_n will_v at_o length_n grow_v too_o hard_o for_o they_o god_n exercise_v his_o own_o patience_n that_o good_a man_n may_v exercise_v they_o at_o length_n he_o show_v his_o justice_n to_o reward_v their_o patience_n the_o patience_n of_o god_n be_v a_o forbearance_n guide_v by_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n be_v a_o severity_n that_o be_v also_o guide_v by_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o have_v any_o mixture_n of_o that_o selfishness_n and_o passion_n which_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o reason_n why_o we_o sometime_o be_v and_o sometime_o be_v not_o severe_a with_o those_o that_o have_v offend_v we_o this_o be_v the_o true_a justice_n of_o punishment_n to_o respect_v the_o evil_a that_o be_v commit_v and_o to_o punish_v for_o that_o reason_n and_o this_o appear_v in_o no_o instance_n more_o than_o when_o god_n punish_v after_o long_o spare_v for_o if_o he_o have_v be_v a_o selfish_n or_o a_o passionate_a be_v he_o have_v never_o suffer_v man_n to_o go_v on_o so_o long_o together_o in_o the_o most_o provoke_a way_n of_o wickedness_n because_o he_o have_v it_o in_o his_o power_n to_o punish_v they_o long_o before_o as_o he_o punish_v they_o at_o last_o and_o therefore_o that_o he_o punish_v they_o at_o last_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o a_o demonstration_n that_o the_o common_a good_a require_v it_o and_o as_o there_o be_v several_a good_a end_n to_o which_o god_n patience_n tend_v in_o bear_v with_o general_a impiety_n so_o long_o as_o he_o often_o do_v so_o there_o be_v as_o many_o to_o which_o his_o justice_n tend_v in_o take_v vengeance_n of_o they_o at_o last_o for_o 1._o this_o be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o his_o providence_n be_v not_o asleep_o before_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o clear_a instruction_n that_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o presume_v upon_o god_n favour_n mere_o because_o they_o prosper_v in_o their_o way_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v measure_v his_o love_n or_o his_o anger_n by_o what_o they_o do_v and_o not_o by_o what_o happen_v to_o they_o since_o they_o who_o do_v the_o same_o wicked_a thing_n may_v go_v unpunished_a from_o one_o generation_n to_o another_o and_o in_o this_o world_n but_o one_o generation_n may_v suffer_v for_o they_o 3._o that_o we_o shall_v not_o forget_v to_o call_v our_o past_a sin_n to_o remembrance_n and_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n for_o they_o since_o if_o god_n punish_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n in_o this_o life_n the_o like_a cause_n have_v we_o to_o fear_v that_o he_o will_v punish_v the_o sin_n of_o our_o youth_n and_o our_o ripe_a year_n at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o our_o life_n 4._o that_o we_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o the_o patience_n and_o long_o suffer_v of_o god_n to_o ourselves_o to_o prevent_v his_o anger_n from_o flame_v out_o against_o we_o because_o otherwise_o we_o treasure_v up_o wrath_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n and_o revelation_n of_o the_o righteous_a judgement_n of_o god_n the_o truth_n be_v these_o be_v the_o use_v we_o ought_v to_o make_v of_o both_o those_o consideration_n that_o i_o lay_v before_o you_o from_o the_o text_n which_o i_o shall_v therefore_o inculcate_v again_o and_o 1._o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o question_v either_o the_o watchfulness_n of_o god_n providence_n or_o to_o be_v cast_v into_o perplexity_n and_o doubt_n whether_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o way_n of_o error_n the_o way_n of_o virtue_n and_o piety_n and_o the_o way_n of_o hypocrisy_n and_o wickedness_n be_v so_o different_a from_o one_o another_o as_o be_v pretend_v in_o religion_n we_o have_v i_o say_v no_o reason_n to_o perplex_v ourselves_o about_o these_o thing_n because_o for_o many_o generation_n god_n have_v suffer_v deceit_n and_o violence_n to_o prevail_v to_o spread_v and_o to_o flourish_v in_o the_o world_n for_o god_n be_v not_o as_o a_o man_n his_o way_n be_v above_o our_o way_n and_o his_o thought_n above_o our_o thought_n when_o we_o look_v abroad_o into_o the_o world_n and_o look_v back_o upon_o so_o many_o past_a age_n wherein_o religion_n have_v be_v make_v a_o formal_a pretence_n for_o the_o establish_n of_o a_o worldly_a greatness_n and_o dominion_n upon_o gross_a and_o palpable_a error_n support_v by_o fraud_n and_o force_n it_o be_v foolish_o do_v of_o we_o to_o disquiet_v ourselves_o with_o doubt_n whether_o we_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o truth_n or_o not_o since_o it_o please_v god_n for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n to_o suffer_v the_o contrary_a to_o prevail_v mighty_o in_o the_o world_n and_o for_o some_o age_n to_o baffle_v all_o opposition_n for_o this_o be_v to_o suppose_v god_n to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o ourselves_o impatient_a of_o high_a indignity_n and_o great_a provocation_n ready_a to_o kindle_v upon_o any_o notable_a affront_n or_o however_o unable_a to_o bear_v repeat_v and_o long-continued_a injury_n no_o doubt_n if_o our_o opinion_n have_v be_v ask_v the_o luxury_n of_o the_o old_a world_n shall_v have_v be_v mortify_v by_o some_o amaze_a judgement_n and_o the_o flood_n shall_v have_v be_v spare_v the_o idolatry_n of_o the_o new_a race_n of_o mankind_n have_v be_v prevent_v or_o at_o least_o by_o some_o irresistible_a evidence_n of_o god_n displeasure_n banish_v long_o before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n and_o mahomet_n shall_v either_o have_v never_o appear_v or_o he_o shall_v have_v glare_v only_o like_o a_o comet_n and_o so_o go_v out_o instead_o of_o sound_v so_o vast_a and_o so_o long_a a_o empire_n as_o it_o seem_v he_o have_v do_v but_o let_v we_o leave_v god_n to_o rule_v the_o world_n and_o be_v content_a that_o he_o shall_v rule_v we_o we_o be_v too_o angry_a and_o too_o passionate_a to_o say_v
