restauration_n for_o though_o god_n judgement_n always_o signal_o call_v for_o repentance_n yet_o i_o think_v his_o mercy_n much_o more_o because_o he_o have_v promise_v that_o christ_n people_n shall_v be_v willing_a in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o power_n 110._o psalm_n 110._o in_o the_o beauty_n of_o holiness_n from_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o morning_n when_o the_o lively_a fruitful_a dew_n

on_o we_o when_o we_o have_v least_o reason_n to_o expect_v they_o because_o by_o his_o correction_n we_o have_v so_o little_o be_v prepare_v for_o they_o yet_o because_o i_o see_v god_n have_v draw_v a_o wonderful_a veil_n of_o mercy_n between_o our_o sin_n and_o his_o judgement_n and_o that_o the_o king_n and_o his_o great_a council_n be_v so_o solicitous_a and_o careful_a in_o prepare_v and_o

with_o all_o humility_n to_o adore_v the_o hand_n in_o the_o cloud_n and_o not_o regard_v the_o rod_n and_o the_o scourge_v wherewith_o we_o be_v beat_v and_o where_o in_o the_o application_n i_o be_v

and_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o bless_v god_n that_o the_o great_a sufferer_n and_o prime_a object_n of_o my_o discourse_n be_v so_o sensible_a of_o my_o reproof_n that_o they_o give_v i_o hearty_a thanks_o as_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o audience_n they_o be_v so_o unconcern_v in_o my_o thought_n that_o i_o can_v not_o be_v so_o uncharitable_a to_o imagine_v they_o will_v so_o much_o own_o and_o countenance_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o text_n as_o to_o conceive_v themselves_o aim_v at_o in_o the_o description_n of_o those_o sin_n and_o it_o must_v be_v their_o own_o unchristian_a imprudence_n if_o by_o any_o sinister_a construction_n they_o turn_v that_o into_o a_o satire_n which_o i_o deliver_v a_o sermon_n and_o i_o wish_v they_o timely_a to_o consider_v whether_o such_o

if_o any_o sanballat_n and_o tobiah'ss_n still_o malign_v the_o happy_a restauration_n and_o building_n our_o jerusalem_n and_o temple_n will_v think_v themselves_o concern_v when_o the_o sin_n so_o sore_o threaten_v and_o sharp_o punish_v in_o god_n people_n be_v but_o name_v and_o describe_v this_o will_v only_o argue_v their_o guilt_n that_o still_o stare_v they_o in_o the_o face_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o forget_v what_o their_o brethren_n have_v resolve_v to_o bury_v in_o perpetual_a oblivion_n and_o they_o be_v too_o much_o like_o the_o roman_a dame_n who_o tremble_v
