wrath._n now_o there_o be_v rage_n also_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n against_o the_o people_n of_o god_n why_o do_v the_o heathen_a rage_n psal_n 2._o they_o rage_n and_o there_o be_v not_o only_a rage_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o wicked_a against_o the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o such_o rage_n as_o do_v amount_v to_o fury_n for_o as_o rage_n be_v the_o height_n of_o wrath_n so_o fury_n be_v the_o height_n of_o rage_n now_o there_o be_v fury_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n against_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o dan._n 3._o 13._o then_o nabuchadnezzar_n in_o his_o rage_n and_o fury_n command_v to_o bring_v shadrach_n meshach_n and_o abednego_n and_o they_o bring_v these_o man_n before_o the_o king_n v._o 19_o then_o be_v nabuchadnezzar_n full_a of_o fury_n yea_o there_o be_v not_o

fury_n be_v the_o height_n of_o rage_n so_o rage_v settle_v be_v hatred_n hatred_n be_v the_o worst_a of_o all_o it_o be_v settle_v anger_n wrath_n and_o rage_n and_o fury_n now_o wicked_a man_n they_o do_v hate_v the_o saint_n in_o psal_n 24._o 21._o evil_a shall_v slay_v the_o wicked_a and_o they_o that_o hate_v the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v desolate_a yea_o say_v david_n psal_n 25._o consider_v my_o enemy_n for_o they_o be_v many_o and_o they_o hate_v i_o with_o cruel_a hatred_n v._o 19_o so_o that_o thus_o than_o we_o see_v in_o the_o general_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a

man_n shall_v not_o live_v out_o half_a their_o day_n speak_v of_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n their_o wrath_n be_v not_o only_o violent_a but_o there_o be_v a_o fraudulency_n that_o be_v join_v therewithal_o 3._o as_o it_o be_v a_o deceitful_a and_o a_o fraudulent_a wrath_n and_o anger_n so_o it_o be_v a_o mortal_a wrath_n and_o anger_n that_o be_v in_o their_o heart_n towards_o the_o people_n of_o god_n a_o devour_a consume_a and_o destroy_a wrath_n they_o eat_v up_o my_o people_n as_o they_o eat_v bread_n psal_n 14._o if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o be_v with_o we_o they_o

how_o long_o shall_v foolish_a man_n blaspheme_n thy_o name_n rabshekah_n be_v angry_a and_o he_o do_v not_o only_a blaspheme_n the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o god_n himself_o where_o be_v now_o your_o god_n 5._o as_o their_o wrath_n be_v a_o blaspheme_v wrath_n so_o it_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a wrath_n why_o do_v the_o heathen_a rage_n why_o why_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o why_o do_v the_o heathen_a rage_n and_o the_o people_n imagine_v a_o vain_a thing_n it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n they_o have_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o the_o wrath_n that_o wicked_a man_n have_v against_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o their_o anger_n it_o be_v most_o unreasonable_a 6._o as_o it_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a wrath_n and_o anger_n so_o it_o be_v a_o insult_a wrath_n and_o anger_n whereby_o they_o do_v insult_v over_o the_o poor_a people_n of_o god_n psal_n 137._o by_o the_o river_n of_o babylon_n we_o sit_v down_o yea_o we_o weep_v when_o we_o remember_v zion_n we_o hang_v our_o harp_n

heart_n of_o wicked_a man_n towards_o the_o saint_n it_o be_v a_o universal_a wrath_n and_o anger_n for_o though_o they_o be_v angry_a with_o one_o person_n their_o anger_n do_v not_o stay_v there_o but_o it_o rise_v unto_o all_o the_o party_n of_o the_o saint_n hamans_n wrath_n begin_v with_o mordecai_n in_o hest_n 3._o 5._o and_o when_o haman_n see_v that_o mordecai_n bow_v not_o nor_o do_v

wrath_n and_o anger_n do_v arise_v to_o they_o all_o it_o be_v a_o universal_a wrath_n against_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o godly_a they_o take_v occasion_n from_o one_o and_o fall_v upon_o all_o 8._o and_o then_o last_o as_o it_o be_v a_o universal_a wrath_n and_o anger_n so_o it_o be_v a_o implacable_a a_o unappeasable_a never-dying_a and_o everlasting_a wrath_n amos_n 1._o 11._o thus_o

now_o in_o joh._n 16._o 2._o our_o saviour_n say_v they_o shall_v put_v you_o out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n yea_o the_o time_n come_v that_o whosoever_o kill_v you_o will_v think_v that_o he_o do_v

the_o same_o word_n the_o word_n that_o be_v use_v here_o in_o this_o 16_o of_o john_n whosoever_o kill_v you_o will_v think_v that_o he_o do_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d now_o in_o ephes_n 5._o

you_o do_v suffer_v according_a to_o christ_n example_n which_o you_o may_v do_v if_o you_o suffer_v with_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o disposition_n that_o christ_n do_v &_o suffer_v in_o the_o strength_n of_o christ_n set_v all_o upon_o the_o head_n &_o score_n of_o christ_n five_o if_o you_o will_v so_o order_v and_o manage_v all_o your_o suffering_n as_o that_o they_o may_v turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n then_o take_v heed_n that_o there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n find_v in_o the_o way_n of_o your_o suffering_n a_o man_n may_v be_v very_o stiff_a and_o stand_v out_o here_o and_o yet_o he_o may_v yield_v there_o say_v the_o apostle_n if_o i_o build_v again_o what_o i_o have_v destroy_v i_o make_v myself_o a_o transgressor_n and_o blessed_n be_v the_o man_n that_o condemn_v

tell_v you_o this_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o your_o suffering_n will_v come_v to_o little_a take_v heed_n that_o there_o be_v not_o contradiction_n therefore_o find_v in_o the_o way_n of_o your_o suffering_n six_o if_o you_o will_v manage_v your_o suffering_n so_o as_o they_o may_v turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n then_o let_v your_o eye_n be_v more_o upon_o the_o public_a good_a then_o upon_o

for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v spiritual_a and_o savoury_a in_o his_o suffering_n our_o saviour_n say_v such_o worshipper_n the_o father_n seek_v etc._n etc._n and_o true_o i_o say_v such_o sufferer_n do_v the_o father_n seek_v that_o suffer_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n who_o spirit_n be_v savoury_a in_o their_o suffering_n and_o when_o be_v that_o when_o that_o your_o eye_n be_v more_o upon_o the_o public_a good_a than_o your_o own_o private_a loss_n more_o upon_o god_n design_n than_o your_o own_o detriment_n more_o upon_o god_n dishonour_n than_o your_o own_o grievance_n and_o your_o own_o

observe_v what_o that_o be_v that_o you_o have_v most_o delight_v in_o and_o that_o your_o heart_n be_v most_o upon_o in_o this_o world_n and_o give_v that_o up_o to_o god_n the_o first_o thing_n you_o do_v for_o true_o nothing_o be_v do_v till_o that_o be_v do_v it_o be_v say_v of_o abraham_n that_o god_n tempt_v abraham_n divine_n observe_v that_o abraham_n meet_v with_o ten_o tempration_n but_o it_o be_v never_o say_v before_o that_o god_n tempt_v he_o till_o he_o speak_v to_o he_o to_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n why_o there_o be_v his_o heart_n and_o his_o love_n and_o his_o

for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n than_o i_o can_v secure_v my_o trade_n or_o my_o land_n or_o relation_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o this_o i_o can_v part_v with_o these_o i_o must_v have_v my_o

so_o if_o we_o have_v our_o reserve_v with_o the_o lord_n our_o suffering_n will_v come_v to_o little_a so_o that_o observe_v that_o you_o give_v that_o up_o first_o to_o god_n that_o your_o heart_n

faith_n towards_o god_n and_o love_n towards_o man_n say_v the_o apostle_n by_o faith_n moses_n choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v affliction_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n how_o so_o why_o by_o faith_n he_o see_v he_o that_o be_v invisible_a and_o so_o trample_v upon_o visible_a thing_n and_o by_o faith_n he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o recompense_n of_o reward_n and_o so_o overlook_v these_o thing_n and_o by_o faith_n he_o see_v great_a wealth_n in_o the_o reproach_n of_o christ_n then_o in_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o egypt_n and_o so_o the_o three_o child_n they_o suffer_v by_o faith_n and_o it_o turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n and_o as_o for_o love_n you_o know_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v if_o i_o give_v my_o body_n to_o be_v burn_v and_o want_v love_n it_o profit_v i_o nothing_o so_o then_o as_o ever_o you_o desire_v your_o suffering_n may_v turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n let_v your_o faith_n towards_o god_n and_o your_o love_n towards_o man_n be_v exercise_v and_o let_v these_o be_v the_o two_o great_a wheel_n that_o all_o your_o suffering_n shall_v be_v draw_v upon_o nine_o if_o you_o will_v order_v your_o suffering_n so_o as_o they_o may_v turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n then_o labour_v to_o be_v serviceable_a in_o and_o by_o your_o suffering_n if_o ever_o god_n call_v you_o to_o a_o prison_n labour_v to_o be_v as_o serviceable_a in_o and_o by_o your_o suffering_n as_o ever_o you_o can_v peter_n be_v in_o prison_n what_o come_v on_o it_o be_v there_o any_o convert_v no._n why_o so_o peter_n sleep_v i_o but_o paul_n and_o silas_n they_o sing_v in_o the_o stock_n and_o they_o preach_v in_o the_o prison_n and_o there_o be_v the_o jailor_n convert_v they_o be_v serviceable_a in_o and_o by_o their_o suffering_n and_o it_o turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v desire_v that_o your_o suffering_n may_v turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n labour_v to_o be_v serviceable_a in_o &_o by_o your_o suffering_n as_o god_n call_v you_o into_o ten_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o and_o suffer_v all_o then_o say_v and_o think_v in_o truth_n that_o you_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n and_o let_v your_o eye_n be_v whole_o to_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n offer_v your_o own_o suffering_n upon_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o reference_n to_o your_o acceptance_n for_o though_o you_o may_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o

therefore_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o think_v and_o say_v you_o be_v unprofitable_a two_o man_n go_v up_o to_o pray_v and_o the_o one_o he_o be_v a_o pharisee_n and_o the_o other_o a_o publican_n the_o pharisee_n he_o come_v and_o praise_v god_n he_o be_v not_o as_o the_o publican_n i_o thank_v god_n i_o be_o not_o as_o this_o publican_n i_o fast_o and_o pray_v and_o i_o be_o not_o as_o this_o
