and_o this_o man_n will_v never_o choose_v to_o have_v these_o contrary_a being_n live_v so_o near_o together_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v once_o in_o the_o ministry_n of_o circumcision_n with_o peter_n

to_o thou_o let_v i_o bear_v the_o blame_n for_o ever_o such_o a_o weighty_a charge_n they_o take_v upon_o they_o but_o where_o be_v now_o in_o our_o day_n such_o a_o noah_n such_o a_o preacher_n of_o

god_n will_v find_v they_o out_o but_o noah_n take_v charge_n of_o his_o people_n they_o be_v his_o house_n his_o family_n his_o life_n and_o therefore_o stick_v to_o the_o save_n of_o they_o 3._o that_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n he_o stick_v close_o to_o they_o and_o follow_v on_o till_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v till_o he_o have_v indeed_o save_v they_o till_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o

my_o name_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n then_o that_o this_o people_n shall_v be_v destroy_v and_o paul_n he_o be_v at_o a_o strait_a and_o can_v wish_v himself_o accurse_v from_o christ_n

make_v thou_o he_o that_o rule_v and_o order_n all_o fear_v he_o but_o why_o shall_v we_o fear_v he_o 1._o fear_v he_o because_o we_o be_v his_o workmanship_n he_o be_v our_o maker_n he_o be_v the_o

and_o by_o he_o hang_v himself_o when_o he_o be_v but_o left_a to_o have_v his_o run_n and_o therefore_o say_v david_n thou_o hold_v our_o soul_n in_o life_n if_o he_o do_v not_o hold_v and_o maintain_v and_o keep_v up_o thy_o life_n every_o moment_n alas_o thou_o be_v soon_o go_v and_o will_v sink_v to_o nothing_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o thy_o jollity_n and_o mirth_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o thy_o bowl_n if_o a_o hand_n writing_n do_v but_o come_v against_o thou_o how_o soon_o may_v thy_o mirth_n be_v quash_v the_o knee_n tremble_v and_o knock_v together_o and_o the_o face_n be_v

therefore_o fear_v he_o 3._o fear_v he_o because_o he_o do_v all_o without_o let_v 〈◊〉_d control_v nothing_o shall_v hinder_v when_o he_o begin_v he_o will_v make_v a_o end_n all_o man_n and_o all_o

not_o favour_v a_o man_n either_o in_o soul_n or_o body_n but_o let_v a_o blast_n seize_v upon_o he_o alas_o the_o man_n must_v fall_v and_o all_o the_o world_n can_v help_v he_o 4._o fear_v he_o because_o in_o thy_o own_o conscience_n tho●_n can_v witness_v thou_o have_v just_o offend_v he_o he_o have_v occasion_n and_o advantage_n enough_o against_o thou_o o_o lord_n how_o many_o way_n may_v

and_o liable_a to_o he_o if_o he_o shall_v take_v advantage_n therefore_o stand_v in_o awe_n and_o fear_v before_o he_o 5._o fear_v he_o because_o he_o will_v certain_o bring_v thou_o to_o judgement_n he_o will_v call_v thou_o to_o a_o account_n for_o all_o thy_o way_n that_o which_o have_v be_v do_v in_o secret_a which_o no_o eye_n see_v and_o no_o man_n can_v ever_o charge_v thou_o with_o all_o thy_o secret_a thought_n thy_o covet_n and_o lusting_n and_o envy_n the_o secret_a turn_n within_o he_o will_v bring_v all_o upon_o the_o stage_n nothing_o shall_v pass_v therefore_o fear_v this_o

know_v not_o the_o hour_n when_o the_o thief_n will_v come_v therefore_o there_o be_v cause_n to_o fear_v 6._o fear_v he_o because_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v fear_v he_o will_v have_v a_o reward_n for_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o if_o thou_o fear_v man_n either_o they_o may_v neglect_v and_o not_o mind_n to_o reward_v thou_o or_o else_o may_v not_o be_v able_a but_o the_o lord_n will_v sure_o reward_v they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o those_o that_o wait_v on_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n from_o these_o several_a particular_n why_o he_o shall_v be_v fear_v and_o now_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o the_o two_o other_o general_a point_n from_o the_o word_n which_o come_v in_o as_o a_o enlargement_n and_o far_a ground_n of_o this_o exhortation_n fear_v he_o that_o can_v destroy_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n in_o hell_n where_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v yet_o to_o be_v open_v what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v the_o soul_n destroy_v and_o than_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v in_o hell_n five_o what_o be_v it_o to_o have_v the_o soul_n destroy_v what_o way_n do_v god_n take_v to_o do_v that_o 1._o he_o destroy_v the_o soul_n by_o withdraw_v the_o sap_n which_o shall_v maintain_v it_o when_o god_n give_v up_o the_o soul_n to_o itself_o and_o leave_v strive_v and_o motion_v and_o knock_v this_o be_v one_o way_n by_o which_o it_o be_v sure_o destroy_v for_o it_o will_v soon_o die_v and_o sink_v of_o itself_o if_o it_o be_v not_o follow_v and_o hunt_v and_o keep_v up_o and_o maintain_v daily_o 2._o another_o way_n of_o destroy_v the_o soul_n be_v when_o god_n give_v it_o up_o to_o believe_v lie_n to_o feed_v on_o ash_n and_o that_o like_o a_o canker_n will_v soon_o eat_v out_o all_o the_o life_n and_o power_n and_o spirit_n of_o truth_n the_o soul_n be_v make_v uncapable_a of_o receive_v truth_n nothing_o can_v enter_v nor_o seize_v though_o there_o be_v never_o such_o a_o power_n and_o strength_n and_o clearness_n in_o the_o word_n yet_o nothing_o can_v take_v place_n and_o this_o be_v the_o wonder_n that_o god_n speak_v i_o will_v work_v a_o wonder_n in_o your_o day_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o believe_v though_o it_o be_v tell_v he_o i_o will_v destroy_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o again_o in_o hear_v they_o shall_v hear_v and_o not_o perceive_v and_o in_o see_v they_o shall_v not_o see_v because_o a_o deceive_a heart_n have_v turn_v they_o aside_o give_v up_o to_o believe_v lie_n etc._n etc._n 3._o another_o way_n of_o destroy_v the_o soul_n be_v by_o leave_v it_o alone_o out_o of_o the_o nursery_n out_o of_o the_o heart_n and_o care_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o there_o be_v none_o to_o take_v it_o in_o none_o to_o look_v over_o it_o nor_o inquire_v after_o it_o none_o to_o turn_n aside_o to_o ask_v how_o it_o do_v alas_o this_o will_v soon_o destroy_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v thus_o cast_v off_o and_o leave_v alone_o without_o the_o care_n and_o counsel_n and_o pity_n and_o encouragement_n of_o the_o truth_n to_o have_v none_o to_o plant_v nor_o water_n nor_o till_o it_o that_o ground_n can_v bring_v forth_o nothing_o but_o briar_n and_o thorn_n and_o so_o be_v nigh_o unto_o curse_v etc._n etc._n 4._o another_o way_n god_n take_v when_o the_o decree_n be_v go_v forth_o to_o undo_v a_o soul_n be_v this_o he_o shut_v out_o all_o prayer_n and_o entreaty_n and_o mean_n that_o be_v use_v to_o turn_v his_o heart_n to_o the_o creature_n that_o nothing_o shall_v prevail_v with_o he_o though_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o to_o stand_v up_o to_o pray_v and_o plead_v yet_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v though_o samuel_n and_o moses_n and_o daniel_n shall_v stand_v up_o yet_o can_v not_o my_o heart_n be_v turn_v towards_o this_o people_n put_v they_o out_o of_o my_o sight_n say_v god_n and_o so_o to_o samuel_n god_n answer_v why_o pray_v thou_o any_o more_o for_o saul_n i_o have_v cast_v he_o off_o and_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a way_n of_o undo_v the_o soul_n indeed_o if_o god_n be_v against_o it_o who_o can_v stand_v for_o it_o who_o can_v deliver_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n 5._o another_o way_n the_o soul_n be_v destroy_v by_o be_v when_o god_n take_v away_o all_o its_o gate_n and_o fence_n and_o lay_v it_o open_a to_o sin_n and_o satan_n to_o have_v their_o full_a course_n and_o run_v without_o stop_n or_o let_v all_o the_o flood_n of_o ungodliness_n and_o
