first_o table_n this_o be_v to_o be_v true_o good_a if_o you_o be_v thus_o impartial_o good_a without_o half_v it_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n commandment_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v and_o

as_o now_o if_o you_o be_v unjust_a in_o your_o trade_n if_o you_o be_v injurious_a in_o your_o deal_n if_o you_o rob_v the_o poor_a because_o he_o be_v poor_a and_o oppress_v the_o needy_a in_o the_o gate_n if_o you_o sell_v the_o needy_a for_o a_o piece_n of_o silver_n and_o the_o poor_a for_o a_o pair_n of_o shoe_n if_o you_o take_v advantage_n of_o the_o poor_n necessity_n if_o you_o withhold_v from_o he_o that_o which_o be_v his_o right_n if_o you_o detain_v the_o hire_n of_o the_o labourer_n and_o of_o he_o that_o take_v pain_n for_o you_o as_o the_o apostle_n st_n james_n say_v behold_v

into_o the_o ear_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o sabbath_n james_n 5.4_o whereby_o the_o way_n you_o may_v observe_v that_o if_o the_o detain_v the_o labourer_n wage_n that_o do_v reap_v down_o their_o corn_n be_v such_o a_o cry_a sin_n what_o be_v it_o think_v you_o then_o to_o detain_v their_o right_n that_o take_v pain_n in_o the_o lord_n vineyard_n and_o labour_n in_o the_o lord_n harvest_n i_o pray_v god_n it_o be_v not_o lay_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o many_o in_o this_o city_n if_o you_o be_v unrighteous_a i_o say_v in_o detain_v that_o which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o labourer_n if_o you_o be_v unmerciful_a if_o you_o be_v uncharitable_a in_o your_o censure_n of_o other_o know_v thus_o much_o that_o there_o be_v no_o goodness_n at_o all_o in_o you_o though_o you_o make_v never_o so_o much_o show_v of_o religion_n if_o you_o do_v not_o make_v conscience_n of_o duty_n in_o the_o shop_n god_n regard_v not_o all_o the_o duty_n you_o perform_v in_o the_o church_n and_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n if_o you_o do_v not_o make_v conscience_n of_o the_o nine_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v bear_v no_o false_a witness_n against_o thy_o neighbour_n thou_o shall_v not_o flander_v thy_o

what_o st_n james_n say_v if_o any_o man_n among_o you_o seem_v to_o be_v religious_a and_o bridle_v not_o his_o tongue_n but_o deceive_v his_o own_o heart_n that_o man_n religion_n be_v vain_a james_n 1.26_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o observable_a that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n make_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o second_o table_n to_o be_v a_o touchstone_n to_o try_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o first_o table_n pray_v remember_v it_o i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o two_o instance_n for_o it_o first_o that_o in_o james_n 1.27_o pure_a religion_n and_o undefiled_a before_o god_n and_o the_o father_n be_v this_o to_o visit_v the_o fatherless_a and_o widow_n in_o their_o affliction_n and_o to_o keep_v himself_o unspotted_a from_o the_o world_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v will_v you_o know_v whether_o you_o be_v true_o religious_a or_o no_o then_o see_v whether_o you_o be_v true_o righteous_a yea_o or_o no._n and_o the_o other_o scripture_n be_v 1_o john_n 4.20_o if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o love_v god_n and_o hate_v his_o brother_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n for_o he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o have_v see_v how_o can_v he_o love_v god_n who_o he_o have_v not_o see_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v will_v you_o know_v whether_o you_o love_v god_n yea_o or_o no_o which_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o first_o table_n then_o see_v whether_o you_o love_v your_o brother_n yea_o or_o no_o which_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o second_o table_n some_o man_n be_v all_o for_o holiness_n but_o nothing_o for_o righteousness_n some_o on_o the_o contrary_n be_v all_o for_o righteousness_n but_o nothing_o for_o holiness_n but_o i_o beseech_v you_o my_o brethren_n remember_v this_o god_n hate_v a_o unrighteous_a holy_a man_n as_o much_o as_o he_o hate_v a_o unholy_a righteous_a man_n righteousness_n and_o holiness_n the_o duty_n of_o the_o two_o table_n must_v go_v both_o together_o he_o have_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o

therefore_o know_v thus_o much_o that_o although_o thou_o be_v a_o man_n of_o never_o so_o excellent_a part_n and_o can_v talk_v never_o so_o much_o of_o religion_n and_o scripture_n and_o have_v

god_n abhor_v all_o thy_o part_n and_o gift_n and_o holy_a language_n and_o profession_n whatsoever_o this_o be_v the_o first_o question_n be_v you_o righteous_a as_o well_o as_o religious_a and_o religious_a as_o well_o as_o righteous_a do_v you_o walk_v with_o a_o even_a foot_n towards_o the_o duty_n of_o both_o table_n but_o second_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o this_o question_n be_v you_o

be_v a_o good_a christian_a indeed_o hypocrite_n can_v perform_v outward_a holy_a duty_n and_o many_o time_n outstrip_v those_o that_o be_v sincere_a and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o be_v but_o paint_v sepulcher_n fair_a without_o but_o within_o full_a of_o corruption_n they_o be_v but_o as_o a_o dunghill_n cover_v over_o with_o snow_n that_o appear_v very_o white_a without_o but_o within_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o filthiness_n they_o be_v but_o as_o apple_n of_o sodom_n fair_a without_o and_o rot_v within_o there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v seem_o saint_n outward_o saint_n

the_o commendation_n of_o abijah_n the_o son_n of_o jeroboam_n 1_o king_n 14.13_o there_o be_v find_v some_o good_a thing_n in_o he_o towards_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n indeed_o unsound_a and_o rotten-hearted_a christian_n may_v be_v good_a towards_o man_n i_o but_o they_o be_v not_o good_a towards_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n but_o if_o you_o be_v inward_o good_a if_o you_o be_v sincere_o good_a then_o be_v you_o good_a indeed_o luther_n relate_v a_o story_n of_o a_o man_n that_o have_v lead_v a_o very_a righteous_a innocent_a and_o unblameable_a life_n but_o when_o he_o

he_o seem_v to_o cast_v they_o off_o god_n be_v not_o regardless_o of_o his_o people_n when_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v regardless_o of_o they_o to_o prove_v this_o doctrine_n to_o you_o there_o be_v these_o two_o branch_n that_o i_o must_v make_v plain_a first_o that_o god_n do_v sometime_o seem_o cast_v off_o his_o people_n but_o than_o second_o that_o god_n do_v not_o will_v not_o can_v real_o cast_v they_o off_o first_o i_o must_v prove_v that_o god_n do_v sometime_o seem_o cast_v off_o his_o people_n he_o sometime_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o regardless_o of_o they_o and_o of_o their_o

you_o may_v say_v why_o do_v god_n sometime_o seem_v to_o cast_v off_o his_o own_o people_n i_o answer_v he_o do_v it_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o reas_n 1_o god_n will_v hereby_o teach_v we_o

the_o life_n 26.7_o job_n 26.7_o this_o be_v the_o efficacy_n of_o faith_n indeed_o second_o god_n do_v it_o reas_n 2_o to_o teach_v his_o people_n to_o reflect_v upon_o and_o be_v sensible_a of_o their_o unkindness_n in_o turn_v their_o back_n upon_o he_o and_o that_o therefore_o it_o be_v just_a with_o he_o to_o turn_v his_o back_n upon_o they_o for_o ever_o three_o reas_n 3_o god_n do_v it_o for_o this_o end_n to_o teach_v his_o people_n how_o to_o prize_v his_o presence_n at_o a_o high_a rate_n that_o he_o may_v indee_a the_o mercy_n of_o his_o perpetual_a abode_n imprisonment_n make_v

five_o or_o six_o month_n in_o the_o year_n how_o welcome_a will_v the_o sun_n be_v to_o we_o then_o so_o god_n hide_v away_o his_o face_n sometime_o make_v his_o presence_n the_o sweet_a and_o the_o more_o welcome_a to_o we_o and_o then_o fourthly_a reas_n 4_o god_n sometime_o seem_v to_o desert_n his_o people_n that_o they_o may_v not_o desert_v he_o for_o shall_v we_o always_o enjoy_v the_o

we_o as_o the_o nurse_n do_v that_o hide_v herself_o from_o her_o child_n to_o make_v the_o child_n cry_v after_o she_o so_o god_n sometime_o leave_v we_o that_o we_o may_v seek_v he_o the_o more_o

with_o our_o god_n because_o there_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o corruption_n with_o grace_n we_o be_v in_o a_o mix_a condition_n here_o below_o it_o be_v neither_o night_n nor_o day_n with_o we_o 14.6_o

a_o little_a wrath_n that_o he_o may_v not_o desert_v we_o in_o everlasting_a wrath_n that_o wrath_n that_o burn_v in_o hell_n to_o all_o eternity_n thus_o you_o have_v the_o first_o branch_n of_o
