into_o the_o world_n in_o this_o word_n of_o god_n we_o find_v a_o account_n not_o only_o of_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o our_o life_n but_o of_o all_o the_o other_o good_n we_o possess_v which_o belong_v unto_o the_o present_a state_n that_o the_o possession_n we_o have_v of_o they_o be_v very_o precarious_a and_o that_o of_o a_o sudden_a we_o may_v very_o many_o way_n be_v put_v out_o of_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o those_o thing_n we_o esteem_v most_o have_v keep_v long_a and_o be_v most_o secure_a of_o but_o though_o the_o way_n of_o turn_v we_o out_o of_o what_o we_o have_v be_v many_o yet_o the_o holy_a scripture_n give_v we_o good_a assurance_n that_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v dispossess_v of_o the_o least_o good_a without_o the_o appointment_n or_o licence_n of_o providence_n that_o as_o we_o may_v not_o set_v our_o heart_n upon_o any_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n which_o we_o have_v so_o we_o may_v bear_v loss_n quiet_o and_o without_o ruffle_v the_o peace_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o make_v any_o abatement_n of_o our_o love_n of_o god_n may_v submit_v to_o every_o change_n in_o our_o condition_n with_o the_o patience_n of_o job_n yield_v back_o to_o the_o lord_n what_o he_o have_v give_v sometime_o the_o scripture_n discourse_n of_o the_o strange_a change_n which_o be_v make_v in_o kingdom_n how_o god_n pull_v man_n down_o and_o sets_z other_o up_o by_o unlikely_a mean_n and_o when_o they_o least_o expect_v it_o and_o that_o in_o a_o instant_n he_o strip_v they_o of_o their_o vast_a possession_n when_o their_o power_n and_o plenty_n have_v thrust_v he_o out_o of_o all_o their_o thought_n and_o they_o place_v their_o security_n in_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o do_v not_o attribute_v to_o his_o providence_n the_o glory_n of_o their_o greatness_n of_o the_o wonderful_a effect_n of_o providence_n we_o have_v unquestionable_a example_n in_o all_o age_n wherein_o the_o motion_n of_o god_n hand_n have_v be_v so_o visible_a that_o necessity_n will_v compel_v man_n to_o ascribe_v they_o to_o he_o how_o frequent_o have_v the_o interposition_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n be_v clear_o manifest_a in_o the_o rise_n and_o declension_n of_o kingdom_n and_o in_o the_o surprise_v period_n which_o have_v be_v put_v to_o mighty_a empire_n by_o small_a and_o improbable_a cause_n notwithstanding_o they_o be_v found_v in_o deep_a policy_n and_o have_v be_v of_o long_a continuance_n he_o in_o a_o moment_n break_v the_o firm_a frame_n of_o thing_n and_o turn_v up_o the_o foundation_n which_o be_v lay_v by_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o most_o skilful_a and_o sagacious_a man_n when_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o great_a people_n be_v full_a and_o their_o iniquity_n be_v grow_v up_o to_o a_o ripeness_n fit_a for_o ruin_n so_o that_o god_n will_v no_o long_o endure_v the_o abuse_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o the_o bold_a affront_n which_o be_v put_v upon_o his_o love_n and_o kindness_n then_o destruction_n come_v swift_o upon_o they_o and_o they_o receive_v their_o terrible_a overthrow_n from_o those_o hand_n which_o they_o do_v despise_v history_n of_o all_o country_n furnish_v we_o with_o instance_n of_o this_o kind_n and_o we_o may_v read_v abundance_n of_o the_o mysterious_a variety_n of_o the_o work_n of_o providence_n in_o the_o quick_a turn_n and_o amaze_a change_n which_o do_v happen_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n either_o the_o sick_a or_o the_o lame_a have_v strength_n enough_o to_o pull_v down_o the_o mighty_a nation_n when_o the_o cry_a sin_n thereof_o have_v provoke_v god_n peremptori_fw-la 〈…〉_z to_o resolve_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o end_n put_v to_o all_o its_o glory_n and_o power_n of_o this_o case_n we_o have_v a_o memorable_a declaration_n make_v from_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o jew_n by_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n of_o the_o fatal_a blow_n which_o shall_v be_v give_v to_o their_o kingdom_n even_o by_o those_o they_o themselves_o have_v beat_v and_o that_o only_o the_o wound_a man_n which_o remain_v shall_v be_v sufficient_o able_a to_o set_v fire_n to_o their_o city_n and_o lay_v it_o in_o ash_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n deceive_v not_o yourselves_o say_v the_o chaldean_n shall_v sure_o depart_v from_o we_o for_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v for_o though_o you_o have_v smite_v the_o whole_a army_n of_o the_o chaldean_n that_o fight_n against_o you_o and_o there_o remain_v but_o wound_v man_n among_o they_o yet_o shall_v they_o rise_v up_o every_o man_n in_o his_o tent_n and_o burn_v this_o city_n with_o fire_n now_o when_o only_o the_o wound_a and_o shatter_v remain_v of_o a_o conquer_a army_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o attack_v and_o take_v a_o well_o fortify_v city_n the_o great_a disproportion_n between_o the_o instrument_n and_o the_o work_n must_v force_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n to_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n do_n and_o that_o their_o misery_n be_v just_o pull_v down_o from_o heaven_n by_o their_o abominable_a sin_n wherefore_o when_o we_o behold_v any_o empire_n or_o kingdom_n that_o have_v be_v long_o settle_v take_v deep_a root_n enlarge_v its_o border_n and_o be_v â—_o terror_n to_o its_o neighbour_n to_o dissolve_v on_o a_o sudden_a and_o tumble_v down_o and_o all_o the_o limb_n of_o this_o well-built_a and_o often-tryed_a body_n at_o once_o to_o be_v dis-jointed_n will_v not_o in_o this_o strange_a and_o unaccountable_a revolution_n the_o print_n be_v most_o conspicuous_a and_o plain_a of_o the_o all-seeing_a and_o all-disposing_a providence_n of_o god_n who_o turn_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o wise_a into_o foolishness_n do_v not_o give_v the_o race_n to_o the_o swift_a nor_o the_o battle_n to_o the_o strong_a on_o the_o other_o hand_n to_o see_v a_o small_a society_n or_o body_n of_o man_n preserve_v when_o environ_v with_o powerful_a enemy_n each_o of_o which_o can_v have_v devour_v it_o and_o its_o state_n and_o condition_n support_v when_o they_o do_v all_o conspire_v to_o work_v its_o ruin_n and_o peace_n and_o safety_n restore_v by_o most_o improbable_a mean_n where_o there_o be_v no_o appearance_n or_o likelihood_n of_o it_o must_v be_v a_o demonstration_n that_o god_n govern_v the_o world_n and_o order_n all_o the_o affair_n thereof_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v as_o the_o divine_a providence_n have_v wonderful_o put_v forth_o itself_o in_o all_o time_n so_o god_n show_v himself_o high_o displease_v when_o his_o people_n presume_v to_o call_v his_o care_n of_o they_o into_o question_n and_o make_v any_o doubt_n whether_o he_o observe_v their_o behaviour_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v utter_o impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v either_o neglect_v or_o forget_v they_o 15._o for_o they_o say_v the_o lord_n bathe_v forsake_v the_o earth_n and_o the_o lord_n see_v not_o and_o as_o for_o i_o also_o my_o eye_n shall_v not_o spare_v neither_o will_v i_o have_v pity_n but_o zion_n say_v the_o lord_n have_v forsake_v i_o and_o my_o lord_n have_v forget_v i_o can_v a_o woman_n forget_v her_o suck_a child_n that_o she_o shall_v not_o have_v compassion_n on_o the_o son_n of_o her_o womb_n yea_o they_o may_v forget_v yet_o will_v i_o not_o forget_v thou_o thus_o i_o have_v dispatch_v the_o first_o head_n of_o this_o discourse_n namely_o that_o nothing_o can_v come_v to_o we_o through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o this_o life_n without_o the_o order_n or_o at_o least_o the_o permission_n of_o providence_n and_o show_v that_o not_o only_o the_o prosperity_n and_o adversity_n the_o poverty_n and_o riches_n the_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n the_o length_n of_o day_n and_o death_n of_o particular_a person_n but_o also_o the_o growth_n and_o fall_n of_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n come_v from_o the_o lord_n 19_o who_o humble_v himself_o to_o behold_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n he_o show_v love_v kindness_n unto_o thousand_o and_o recompense_v the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o father_n into_o the_o

receive_v evil_a from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o good_a be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o his_o wisdom_n in_o the_o misery_n god_n send_v or_o suffer_v to_o fall_v upon_o man_n in_o this_o life_n many_o of_o his_o great_a end_n in_o govern_v the_o world_n be_v serve_v and_o much_o spiritual_a profit_n may_v accrue_v to_o they_o who_o by_o the_o cross_a event_n and_o disappointment_n

forsake_v it_o until_o lay_v aside_o all_o the_o thought_n and_o interest_n of_o this_o world_n we_o have_v employ_v our_o soul_n whole_o in_o make_v a_o firm_a wellgrounded_n and_o last_a peace_n with_o our_o god_n may_v we_o so_o frequent_o meditate_v on_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o nature_n as_o earnest_o to_o labour_v and_o strive_v to_o grow_v like_o he_o in_o his_o truth_n and_o purity_n

do_v we_o deliberate_o consider_v these_o thing_n it_o can_v be_v no_o question_n but_o we_o shall_v make_v it_o the_o great_a business_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n to_o fit_a and_o due_o qualify_v
