be_v fall_v into_o sin_n continue_v in_o it_o the_o guilt_n and_o power_n of_o it_o remain_v upon_o his_o soul_n and_o he_o excuse_v himself_o with_o the_o smallness_n of_o it_o 5.18_o this_o be_v a_o

the_o pharisy_n say_v adultery_n must_v not_o be_v commit_v but_o i_o say_v say_v christ_n he_o that_o lust_n have_v commit_v adultery_n in_o his_o heart_n they_o say_v you_o must_v not_o swear_v by_o

the_o fall_v from_o our_o first_o love_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o bring_v god_n judgement_n on_o a_o nation_n but_o what_o be_v this_o zeal_n zeal_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o intention_n of_o all_o holy_a affection_n and_o action_n i_o will_v go_v no_o further_o than_o this_o text_n to_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o phineas_n be_v zealous_a affection_n that_o be_v he_o not_o only_o do_v the_o thing_n but_o his_o heart_n burn_v within_o he_o with_o zeal_n for_o god._n so_o as_o first_o there_o must_v be_v a_o stir_v up_o of_o affection_n lord_n second_o it_o must_v be_v holy_a it_o must_v be_v for_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o discover_v true_a zeal_n to_o look_v only_o to_o the_o lord_n to_o have_v no_o by-respect_n as_o there_o may_v be_v zeal_n that_o make_v

be_v not_o keep_v smother_v in_o his_o own_o breast_n but_o it_o brak●_n forth_o into_o action_n he_o do_v something_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v action_n that_o glorify_v god_n and_o that_o benefit_n man_n only_a action_n stand_v on_o our_o reckon_n for_o you_o know_v god_n judge_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n it_o be_v action_n that_o do_v ourselves_o good_a that_o

if_o it_o be_v zeal_n that_o turn_v away_o the_o lord_n wrath_n zealous_a then_o why_o shall_v we_o discourage_v zeal_n by_o it_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v the_o city_n stand_v why_o do_v wicked_a man_n cry_v down_o all_o religion_n and_o zeal_n under_o the_o name_n of_o preciseness_n discouragement_n and_o overmuch_o strictness_n of_o life_n walk_v bold_o in_o the_o street_n and_o

if_o it_o be_v zeal_n that_o turn_v away_o the_o lord_n wrath_n time_n then_o where_o be_v the_o zeal_n that_o shall_v be_v among_o we_o be_v we_o not_o rather_o fall_v into_o those_o late_a time_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o which_o shall_v have_v a_o form_n of_o religion_n without_o the_o zeal_n and_o power_n and_o life_n of_o it_o and_o if_o zeal_n turn_v away_o god_n wrath_n certain_o

last_o the_o issue_n of_o this_o jealousy_n of_o he_o will_v be_v utter_a destruction_n we_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o point_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v god_n only_o evil_a that_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a to_o every_o nation_n to_o every_o church_n and_o kingdom_n yea_o to_o every_o particular_a person_n as_o you_o see_v here_o it_o be_v not_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o air_n that_o bring_v the_o plague_n nor_o the_o clear_n of_o it_o with_o frost_n and_o wind_n that_o turn_v it_o away_o but_o the_o cloud_n of_o the_o lord_n wrath_n shed_v this_o storm_n on_o they_o and_o when_o he_o be_v appease_v with_o they_o there_o follow_v health_n and_o peace_n the_o lord_n wound_n and_o the_o lord_n heal_v for_o what_o be_v the_o plague_n but_o a_o sword_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o angel_n who_o draw_v it_o out_o and_o put_v it_o into_o its_o sheath_n again_o at_o his_o master_n appointment_n and_o be_v not_o there_o the_o same_o reason_n of_o all_o other_o evil_n war_n you_o know_v be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n when_o enemy_n come_v as_o bee_n on_o a_o land_n but_o do_v not_o the_o lord_n hiss_v for_o they_o and_o again_o they_o be_v drive_v away_o as_o with_o a_o
