may_v see_v this_o cruelty_n of_o he_o god_n do_v so_o by_o his_o wise_a providence_n order_v it_o that_o it_o do_v tend_v to_o his_o conversion_n o_o happy_a be_v it_o for_o the_o poor_a moaler_n that_o god_n do_v finish_v two_o work_n in_o one_o journey_n that_o he_o come_v to_o deliver_v the_o body_n of_o his_o servant_n from_o a_o temporal_a prison_n and_o do_v deliver_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o gaoler_n from_o the_o pr●son_n of_o hell-fire_n well_o now_o in_o the_o verse_n before_o my_o text_n you_o see_v the_o gaoler_n come_v tremble_a before_o the_o prisoner_n of_o hope_n he_o that_o before_o think_v paul_n and_o silas_n not_o worthy_a to_o live_v on_o the_o earth_n do_v now_o come_v and_o fall_v down_o to_o the_o earth_n at_o their_o foot_n and_o say_v what_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o be_v save_v o_o what_o a_o serious_a question_n be_v here_o well_o now_o the_o word_n in_o my_o text_n be_v a_o answer_n to_o this_o serious_a question_n why_o say_v the_o apostle_n believe_v

be_v a_o exhortation_n to_o a_o very_a serious_a and_o weighty_a duty_n and_o that_o be_v believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 2_o here_o be_v a_o prevail_a excitation_n to_o stir_v he_o up_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n in_o these_o word_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v save_v in_o the_o exhortation_n we_o have_v several_a particular_n in_o this_o first_o general_n first_o here_o be_v the_o act_n and_o that_o be_v believe_v 2_o here_o be_v the_o object_n upon_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 3_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o person_n here_o that_o be_v press_v this_o exhortation_n on_o he_o and_o that_o be_v paul_n and_o silas_n those_o that_o have_v be_v scourge_v and_o imprison_v by_o he_o they_o be_v now_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o he_o and_o without_o question_n with_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n to_o his_o precious_a soul_n they_o do_v not_o now_o think_v of_o revenge_n and_o do_v not_o now_o while_o this_o poor_a man_n be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a

he_o from_o self-murder_n and_o two_o they_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o he_o believe_v on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o four_o and_o last_o place_n the_o person_n exhort_v to_o this_o duty_n and_o that_o be_v the_o moaler_n one_o that_o have_v be_v a_o violent_a persecutor_n and_o he_o be_v here_o exhort_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n from_o whence_o my_o friend_n take_v notice_n of_o this_o that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o the_o great_a sinner_n to_o get_v a_o break_a heart_n one_o will_v have_v think_v that_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v have_v go_v without_o a_o break_a heart_n and_o without_o christ_n and_o mercy_n a_o persecute_v gaoler_n shall_v that_o have_v persecute_v those_o bleffed_a servant_n of_o god_n that_o do_v come_v on_o purpose_n among_o they_o to_o do_v their_o soul_n good_a by_o the_o way_n my_o friend_n take_v encouragement_n you_o that_o be_v the_o great_a sinner_n here_o though_o not_o to_o continue_v in_o your_o sin_n yet_o to_o wait_v on_o god_n in_o gospel_n ordinance_n for_o you_o know_v not_o how_o soon_o god_n may_v be_v please_v to_o work_v on_o your_o soul_n and_o to_o turn_v you_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o from_o the_o

entrance_n into_o they_o i_o shall_v not_o now_o stand_v to_o spend_v much_o time_n in_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n but_o only_o confirm_v it_o by_o a_o few_o scripture_n that_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n every_o word_n may_v be_v establish_v the_o first_o in_o mark_n 16.16_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v another_o we_o have_v in_o the_o 3d._a chap._n of_o john_n 16._o v._o for_o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v

when_o he_o die_v he_o shall_v have_v it_o in_o its_o consummation_n now_o my_o friend_n i_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o application_n which_o be_v that_o i_o main_o intend_v in_o set_v upon_o this_o

three_o by_o way_n of_o consolation_n four_o by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n five_o by_o way_n of_o instruction_n first_o it_o be_v useful_a by_o way_n of_o information_n if_o every_o true_a believer_n shall_v be_v save_v than_o it_o may_v inform_v we_o of_o the_o infinite_a and_o boundless_a love_n of_o god_n to_o all_o true_a believer_n o_o well_o may_v the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 3d._n of_o

my_o friend_n i_o may_v allude_v to_o those_o word_n of_o job_n 11.7_o 8_o 9_o can_v thou_o by_o search_v find_v out_o god_n can_v thou_o find_v ou●_n the_o almighty_a unto_o perfection_n it_o be_v

of_o this_o love_n of_o god_n to_o poor_a sinner_n that_o it_o be_v unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a and_o i_o may_v say_v of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v that_o we_o can_v find_v out_o to_o perfection_n it_o be_v as_o high_a as_o heaven_n what_o can_v we_o do_v the_o measure_n thereof_o be_v long_o than_o the_o earth_n and_o broad_a than_o the_o sea_n this_o love_n of_o god_n to_o poor_a sinner_n it_o may_v appear_v in_o the_o high_a heaven_n for_o not_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v in_o glory_n but_o be_v behold_v to_o this_o boundless_a love_n of_o god_n for_o their_o salvation_n god_n so_o love_v

in_o its_o consummation_n i_o pray_v my_o friend_n if_o you_o remember_v no_o more_o carry_v away_o this_o that_o if_o heaven_n and_o eternal_a life_n be_v not_o within_o you_o while_o you_o be_v in_o this_o world_n you_o shall_v never_o enter_v into_o heavenly_a or_o eternal_a life_n when_o you_o shall_v leave_v this_o world_n now_o herein_o appear_v the_o vast_a difference_n that_o be_v between_o the_o state_n of_o a_o believer_n and_o a_o unbeliever_n as_o a_o believer_n have_v the_o heaven_n of_o spiritual_a light_n from_o god_n and_o the_o same_o spiritual_a love_n to_o god_n &_o the_o same_o spiritual_a joy_n in_o god_n and_o the_o same_o spiritual_a communion_n with_o god_n now_o in_o this_o life_n as_o they_o shall_v have_v in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o

the_o same_o irregularality_n in_o his_o affection_n and_o the_o same_o contumacy_n in_o his_o will_n now_o as_o he_o will_v have_v in_o hell_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o quality_n thereof_o though_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o degree_n and_o quantity_n now_o hellish_a drunkard_n make_v themselves_o drink_v with_o wine_n and_o strong_a bear_n and_o in_o hell_n god_n will_v make_v they_o pledge_v the_o devil_n at_o a_o full_a cup_n of_o his_o wrath_n which_o be_v power_v into_o the_o cup_n of_o his_o indignation_n will_v make_v they_o drink_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o the_o hellish_a adulterer_n burn_v in_o his_o lust_n here_o and_o god_n will_v make_v he_o burn_v in_o hell_n for_o it_o hereafter_o as_o heavenly_a saint_n love_v god_n and_o propound_v his_o glory_n as_o their_o ultimate_a end_n in_o all_o their_o duty_n so_o heillish_a sinner_n hate_v god_n and_o propound_v their_o own_o glory_n as_o their_o ultimate_a end_n in_o duty_n as_o believer_n be_v
