of_o god_n call_v the_o accept_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o our_o sin_n 26.41_o leu._n 26.41_o but_o if_o the_o sinner_n be_v not_o convince_v that_o he_o suffer_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o that_o

all_o that_o be_v come_v upon_o we_o but_o we_o know_v not_o how_o nor_o wherein_o ezra_n no_o doubt_n go_v a_o great_a deal_n further_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v question_v but_o that_o he_o have_v in_o his_o most_o passionate_a confession_n a_o eye_n upon_o the_o particular_a sin_n for_o which_o they_o suffer_v in_o babylon_n we_o may_v be_v sure_o they_o be_v not_o generality_n only_o that_o

other_o these_o person_n may_v be_v very_o inclinable_a to_o think_v that_o god_n do_v not_o particular_o intend_v the_o correct_v of_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n in_o the_o common_a judgement_n that_o light_v upon_o the_o place_n but_o that_o they_o suffer_v rather_o upon_o their_o neighbour_n account_v than_o their_o own_o 2._o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n perhaps_o may_v they_o be_v tempt_v to_o be_v who_o seem_v even_o as_o to_o outward_a thing_n to_o have_v gain_v by_o their_o affliction_n and_o to_o be_v in_o a_o better_a condition_n as_o to_o trade_n than_o they_o be_v in_o before_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o such_o if_o any_o such_o be_v to_o entertain_v themselves_o with_o a_o pleasant_a dream_n that_o god_n only_o empty_v they_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v fill_v they_o full_a than_o they_o be_v before_o and_o that_o he_o have_v no_o other_o design_n in_o pull_v down_o their_o house_n than_o that_o he_o may_v build_v they_o up_o fair_a but_o let_v neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o deceive_v themselves_o they_o will_v but_o flatter_v themselves_o if_o they_o shall_v think_v that_o god_n do_v not_o aim_v at_o their_o sin_n in_o his_o severe_a providence_n as_o

place_n and_o though_o they_o may_v have_v make_v a_o strict_a and_o high_a profession_n of_o religion_n yet_o even_o such_o may_v have_v be_v taint_v with_o the_o pollution_n of_o many_o sin_n which_o may_v have_v have_v no_o small_a influence_n in_o procure_v the_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o town_n and_o their_o sin_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o near_a relation_n to_o god_n and_o strict_a profession_n

though_o we_o may_v in_o some_o case_n take_v the_o liberty_n of_o humble_a and_o reverend_a expostulation_n with_o god_n yet_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o any_o unmeet_a reflection_n upon_o his_o
