therefore_o since_o god_n have_v the_o more_o mercy_n in_o store_n for_o judah_n let_v not_o judah_n offend_v from_o hence_o these_o note_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v first_o we_o must_v not_o do_v as_o

those_o that_o profess_v religion_n not_o of_o those_o that_o prosper_v in_o the_o world_n we_o must_v not_o make_v they_o a_o exemplar_n or_o rule_n in_o any_o thing_n especial_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o god_n worship_n indeed_o the_o consideration_n how_o other_o sin_n against_o god_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o argument_n to_o draw_v we_o unto_o sin_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o great_a argument_n to_o draw_v we_o from_o sin_n thus_o every_o sin_n against_o god_n it_o be_v a_o strike_n at_o god_n simile_n simile_n it_o be_v true_a if_o there_o be_v a_o common_a enemy_n come_v into_o a_o city_n or_o town_n every_o one_o desire_n to_o have_v a_o blow_n at_o he_o and_o when_o man_n make_v this_o a_o argument_n for_o their_o sin_n because_o other_o do_v it_o they_o deal_v with_o god_n as_o those_o in_o a_o town_n will_v deal_v with_o a_o common_a enemy_n that_o be_v thus_o why_o such_o and_o such_o and_o such_o go_v on_o in_o such_o wicked_a way_n they_o strike_v at_o god_n therefore_o let_v i_o strike_v at_o god_n too_o when_o thou_o plead_v that_o argument_n and_o say_v because_o such_o and_o such_o do_v sin_n therefore_o i_o may_v sin_v thou_o do_v in_o effect_n as_o much_o as_o say_v such_o and_o such_o strike_v at_o god_n let_v i_o have_v a_o blow_n at_o he_o too_o be_v there_o any_o force_n in_o this_o argument_n for_o ever_o take_v heed_n of_o plead_v the_o example_n of_o other_o in_o way_n of_o wickedness_n and_o remember_v this_o one_o expression_n that_o thou_o do_v in_o effect_n as_o if_o thou_o shall_v say_v other_o about_o i_o they_o strike_v at_o god_n and_o i_o must_v have_v my_o blow_n at_o he_o too_o as_o well_o as_o they_o in_o any_o sin_n we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o example_n but_o above_o all_o in_o matter_n of_o worship_n hence_o deut._n 12.30_o take_v heed_n to_o thyself_o that_o thou_o be_v not_o snare_v by_o follow_v of_o the_o nation_n after_o that_o they_o be_v destroy_v from_o before_o thou_o and_o that_o thou_o inquire_v not_o after_o their_o god_n say_v how_o do_v these_o nation_n serve_v their_o god_n even_o so_o will_v i_o d●_n likewise_o take_v heed_n say_v god_n thou_o do_v not_o so_o

plead_v thus_o other_o people_n do_v so_o and_o so_o and_o other_o nation_n why_o may_v not_o we_o do_v as_o other_o nation_n do_v it_o be_v a_o very_a ill_a argument_n to_o plead_v example_n in_o

man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v follow_v in_o point_n of_o institution_n in_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n there_o may_v be_v more_o plea_n for_o example_n than_o in_o institute_v worship_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o note_v note_v because_o that_o other_o thing_n have_v somewhat_o of_o they_o write_v in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n in_o man_n heart_n all_o matter_n of_o morality_n be_v in_o

from_o hence_o obs_n obs_n it_o be_v a_o most_o sad_a judgement_n for_o a_o people_n to_o be_v in_o affliction_n and_o to_o have_v no_o prophet_n at_o all_o among_o they_o no_o prophet_n to_o tell_v how_o long_o to_o tell_v they_o any_o part_n of_o god_n mind_n look_v to_o yourselves_o that_o you_o regard_v the_o prophet_n of_o god_n now_o otherwise_o when_o you_o shall_v be_v bring_v into_o

israel_n they_o never_o have_v any_o prophet_n since_o the_o captivity_n to_o tell_v they_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n thus_o the_o prophet_n shall_v fall_v but_o why_o in_o the_o night_n some_o therefore_o because_o they_o think_v hard_o of_o the_o different_a expression_n they_o read_v it_o thus_o you_o shall_v fall_v in_o the_o day_n with_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o night_n your_o

two_o reason_n the_o prophet_n shall_v fall_v in_o the_o night_n false_a prophet_n so_o they_o be_v mean_v they_o shall_v fall_v observe_v observe_v first_o because_o god_n will_v inflict_v a_o
