they_o than_o those_o natural_a brute_n beast_n and_o so_o conclude_v the_o rest_n of_o man_n have_v no_o more_o conscience_n or_o belief_n of_o god_n than_o themselves_o and_o that_o all_o their_o

atheistical_a disease_n now_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o apprehend_v our_o wickedness_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o remember_v what_o i_o show_v you_o in_o the_o beginning_n that_o the_o wicked_a be_v enemy_n and_o hater_n of_o god_n but_o as_o i_o say_v then_o it_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a to_o make_v any_o one_o here_o even_o the_o worst_a of_o this_o assembly_n either_o confess_v or_o

that_o we_o may_v true_o understand_v and_o hearty_o bewail_v our_o own_o wicked_a condition_n i_o shall_v for_o a_o conclusion_n press_v this_o matter_n home_o upon_o our_o conscience_n what_o

to_o god_n for_o god_n be_v holiness_n be_v it_o not_o than_o most_o evident_a what_o i_o say_v that_o sin_n be_v more_o hateful_a unto_o christ_n then_o spit_v upon_o he_o buffet_n he_o scourge_v he_o crucify_a he_o and_o consequent_o they_o who_o do_v thing_n more_o hateful_a unto_o christ_n must_v needs_o be_v great_a enemy_n and_o hater_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o you_o may_v far_o see_v our_o sin_n exceed_v that_o of_o the_o jew_n what_o they_o do_v unto_o christ_n be_v through_o ignorance_n as_o saint_n peter_n witness_v for_o they_o but_o we_o after_o knowledge_n after_o we_o

you_o will_v find_v in_o scripture_n all_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v not_o only_o very_o unseasonable_a but_o very_o sinful_a also_o when_o god_n so_o loud_o call_v for_o humiliation_n for_o
