go_v backward_o therefore_o will_v i_o stretch_v out_o my_o hand_n against_o thou_o and_o deliver_v thou_o i_o be_o weary_a of_o repent_v by_o our_o obstinate_a impenitency_n we_o harden_v the_o

of_o ruin_n wo_n unto_o they_o say_v god_n by_o the_o prophet_n when_o i_o depart_v from_o they_o therefore_o be_v thou_o instruct_v o_o jerusalem_n lest_o my_o soul_n depart_v from_o thou_o lest_o

first_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o patience_n of_o god_n towards_o a_o sinful_a people_n and_o his_o great_a unwillingness_n to_o bring_v ruin_n and_o destruction_n upon_o they_o lest_o my_o soul_n depart_v from_o thou_o lest_o i_o make_v thou_o desolate_a a_o land_n not_o inhabit_v how_o loath_a be_v he_o that_o thing_n shall_v come_v to_o this_o extremity_n he_o be_v not_o without_o

they_o second_o you_o see_v here_o what_o be_v the_o only_a proper_a and_o effectual_a mean_n to_o prevent_v the_o misery_n and_o ruin_n of_o a_o sinful_a people_n if_o they_o will_v be_v instruct_v and_o take_v warning_n by_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n and_o will_v become_v wise_a and_o better_a than_o his_o soul_n will_v not_o depart_v from_o they_o he_o will_v not_o bring_v upon_o they_o the_o desolation_n which_o he_o have_v threaten_v three_o you_o have_v here_o intimate_v the_o miserable_a case_n and_o condition_n of_o a_o people_n when_o god_n take_v off_o his_o affection_n from_o they_o and_o give_v over_o all_o further_a care_n and_o concernment_n for_o they_o wo_n unto_o they_o when_o his_o soul_n depart_v from_o they_o for_o when_o god_n once_o leave_v they_o than_o all_o

the_o infinite_a patience_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n towards_o a_o sinful_a people_n and_o his_o great_a unwillingness_n to_o bring_v ruin_n and_o destruction_n upon_o they_o lest_o my_o soul_n depart_v from_o thou_o lest_o i_o make_v thou_o desolate_a a_o land_n not_o inhabit_v how_o loath_a be_v god_n that_o thing_n shall_v come_v to_o this_o he_o be_v very_o patient_a to_o particular_a person_n notwithstanding_o their_o great_a and_o innumerable_a provocation_n god_n be_v strong_a and_o patient_a though_o man_n provoke_v he_o every_o day_n and_o much_o great_a be_v his_o patience_n to_o whole_a nation_n and_o great_a community_n of_o man_n how_o great_a be_v it_o to_o the_o old_a world_n when_o the_o long_a suffering_n of_o god_n wait_v in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n for_o the_o space_n of_o a_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o year_n and_o do_v not_o expire_v till_o he_o see_v that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n be_v grow_v great_a upon_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o all_o flesh_n have_v corrupt_v its_o way_n not_o till_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o drown_v the_o world_n to_o cleanse_v it_o and_o to_o destroy_v mankind_n to_o reform_v it_o by_o begin_v a_o new_a world_n upon_o the_o only_a righteous_a family_n that_o be_v leave_v of_o all_o the_o last_o generation_n of_o the_o old_a for_o so_o god_n testify_v concern_v noah_n when_o he_o command_v he_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o ark_n say_v 7.1_o come_v thou_o and_o all_o thy_o house_n into_o the_o ark_n for_o thou_o that_o be_v thou_o only_o have_v i_o see_v righteous_a before_o i_o in_o this_o generation_n the_o patience_n of_o god_n be_v great_a likewise_o to_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n and_o the_o city_n about_o they_o for_o when_o the_o cry_n of_o their_o sin_n have_v reach_v heaven_n and_o call_v loud_o for_o vengeance_n to_o be_v pour_v down_o upon_o they_o to_o express_v the_o wonderful_a patience_n of_o god_n towards_o such_o grievous_a sinner_n though_o nothing_o be_v hide_v from_o his_o sight_n and_o knowledge_n yet_o he_o be_v represent_v as_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n on_o purpose_n to_o inquire_v into_o the_o truth_n of_o thing_n and_o whether_o they_o be_v altogether_o according_a to_o the_o cry_n that_o be_v come_v up_o to_o he_o and_o when_o he_o find_v thing_n as_o bad_a as_o be_v possible_a yet_o then_o be_v he_o willing_a to_o have_v come_v almost_o to_o the_o low_a term_n imaginable_a that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v but_o ten_o righteous_a person_n in_o those_o wicked_a city_n he_o will_v not_o have_v destroy_v they_o for_o the_o ten_o be_v sake_n nay_o he_o seem_v to_o come_v to_o low_a term_n yet_o with_o the_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n jer._n 5.1_o run_v you_o to_o and_o fro_o through_o the_o street_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o see_v now_o and_o know_v and_o seek_v in_o the_o broad_a place_n thereof_o if_o you_o can_v find_v a_o man_n if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o execute_v judgement_n and_o seek_v the_o truth_n and_o i_o will_v pardon_v it_o what_o can_v be_v imagine_v more_o slow_a and_o mild_a and_o merciful_a than_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o divine_a justice_n against_o a_o sinful_a people_n god_n be_v represent_v in_o scripture_n as_o take_v a_o long_a time_n to_o make_v ready_a his_o bow_n and_o to_o whet_v his_o glitter_a sword_n before_o his_o hand_n take_v hold_v of_o vengeance_n as_o if_o the_o instrument_n of_o his_o wrath_n lie_v by_o he_o blunt_a and_o rusty_a and_o unready_a for_o use_v many_o a_o time_n he_o threaten_v and_o many_o a_o time_n lift_v up_o his_o hand_n before_o he_o give_v the_o fatal_a blow_n and_o how_o glad_a be_v he_o when_o any_o good_a man_n will_v step_v in_o and_o interpose_v to_o stay_v his_o hand_n as_o we_o read_v psal_n 106.23_o therefore_o he_o say_v speak_v of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n that_o he_o will_v destroy_v they_o have_v not_o moses_n his_o servant_n stand_v in_o the_o breach_n to_o turn_v away_o his_o wrath_n lest_o he_o shall_v destroy_v they_o and_o how_o kind_o do_v god_n take_v it_o of_o phinehas_n as_o a_o most_o acceptable_a piece_n of_o service_n do_v to_o he_o and_o which_o he_o hardly_o know_v how_o sufficient_o to_o reward_v that_o he_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o his_o anger_n against_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n insomuch_o that_o the_o psalmist_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n to_o all_o generation_n for_o evermore_o i_o will_v recite_v the_o whole_a passage_n at_o large_a because_o it_o be_v remarkable_a when_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v seduce_v into_o idolatry_n
