and_o that_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text._n these_o three_o thing_n the_o holy_a prophet_n particularize_v in_o this_o psalm_n exact_o agreeable_a to_o the_o duty_n require_v of_o we_o this_o day_n but_o what_o he_o chief_o sue_v for_o and_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o his_o prayer_n on_o as_o a_o mean_n of_o procure_v the_o other_o two_o and_o indeed_o all_o blessing_n whatever_o be_v a_o general_a conversion_n and_o repentance_n of_o the_o people_n this_o be_v his_o chief_a aim_n this_o we_o find_v the_o main_a scope_n and_o burden_n of_o this_o his_o heavenly_a

consideration_n of_o the_o circumstance_n which_o king_n david_n and_o his_o people_n be_v now_o in_o which_o be_v under_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o the_o method_n that_o he_o take_v to_o remove_v those_o judgement_n which_o be_v a_o general_a conversion_n of_o the_o people_n from_o sin_n i_o draw_v these_o two_o doctrinal_a conclusion_n 1._o in_o respect_n to_o god_n that_o the_o chief_a end_n and_o design_n god_n aim_v at_o in_o send_v judgement_n upon_o a_o people_n or_o nation_n be_v to_o reclaim_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n 2._o in_o respect_n to_o man_n that_o the_o only_a way_n a_o people_n or_o nation_n have_v to_o avert_v god_n judgement_n be_v to_o turn_v from_o their_o sin_n i_o shall_v speak_v to_o these_o two_o point_n and_o then_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o business_n of_o the_o day_n 1._o the_o chief_a end_n and_o design_n god_n aim_v at_o in_o send_v judgement_n on_o a_o people_n be_v to_o reclaim_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n it_o may_v here_o be_v say_v that_o the_o end_n of_o all_o the_o dispensation_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n be_v to_o convert_v they_o from_o sin_n for_o this_o very_a purpose_n do_v he_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o draw_v and_o win_v we_o to_o himself_o by_o the_o promise_n of_o heaven_n and_o eternal_a happiness_n and_o all_o the_o attractive_a motive_n that_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o work_v upon_o humane_a understanding_n and_o for_o this_o only_a reason_n do_v god_n daily_o bestow_v his_o mercy_n and_o benefit_n upon_o we_o according_a to_o what_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n lead_v we_o to_o repentance_n rom._n 2._o 4._o why_o then_o if_o the_o gentle_a method_n of_o lenity_n and_o mercy_n may_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n do_v god_n use_v the_o severe_a way_n of_o reclaim_v man_n by_o pour_v judgement_n and_o affliction_n upon_o they_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o way_n which_o god_n chief_o delight_v to_o deal_v with_o mankind_n in_o be_v

prophet_n jeremiah_n nay_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o scripture_n discover_v this_o to_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o be_v it_o not_o that_o we_o be_v such_o perverse_a creature_n as_o not_o to_o be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o kindness_n so_o wild_a as_o not_o to_o be_v tame_v by_o gentle_a usage_n god_n will_v not_o handle_v we_o in_o any_o other_o way_n i_o draw_v they_o with_o the_o cord_n of_o a_o man_n with_o the_o band_n of_o love_n say_v the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o the_o prophet_n hosea_n but_o the_o jew_n but_o still_o so_o stiff-necked_a and_o untractable_a they_o will_v not_o

because_o i_o think_v the_o only_a way_n for_o this_o nation_n to_o flourish_v and_o be_v happy_a and_o for_o the_o protestant_a church_n to_o stand_v pure_a and_o uncorrupt_a be_v to_o remove_v if_o

next_o to_o god_n to_o the_o great_a and_o wise_a council_n of_o the_o nation_n i_o proceed_v now_o three_o to_o apply_v what_o have_v be_v say_v to_o the_o business_n of_o the_o day_n and_o because_o we_o have_v hear_v first_o that_o the_o chief_a design_n of_o god_n judgement_n upon_o a_o people_n be_v to_o reclaim_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n and_o second_o that_o the_o only_a way_n a_o people_n have_v to_o prevent_v and_o avert_v god_n judgement_n be_v to_o forsake_v their_o sin_n therefore_o conversion_n from_o sin_n to_o god_n must_v be_v esteem_v a_o necessary_a spiritual_a duty_n and_o though_o this_o duty_n be_v most_o certain_o always_o very_o requisite_a and_o seasonable_a yet_o there_o be_v some_o season_n when_o the_o church_n do_v most_o chief_o require_v it_o and_o to_o name_n no_o more_o this_o present_a season_n be_v the_o great_a now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o lent_n but_o more_o especial_o in_o this_o magna_fw-la hebdomada_fw-la this_o great_a week_n before_o the_o resurrection_n we_o be_v call_v upon_o to_o make_v a_o strict_a review_n of_o our_o life_n and_o to_o humble_v our_o soul_n in_o god_n presence_n and_o to_o bewail_v our_o manifold_a

these_o particular_n without_o any_o enlargement_n on_o they_o that_o i_o may_v more_o full_o speak_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o day_n which_o be_v these_o three_o 1._o we_o be_v this_o day_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v avert_v those_o judgement_n which_o our_o manifold_a sin_n and_o provocation_n have_v most_o just_o deserve_v 2._o that_o he_o will_v in_o his_o great_a mercy_n
