when_o as_o he_o shall_v have_v send_v a_o thunderbolt_n to_o terrify_v they_o or_o rather_o utter_o to_o destroy_v

be_v jonah_n who_o be_v no_o gentile_a but_o a_o israelite_n which_o know_v his_o master_n will_n what_o it_o be_v do_v yet_o presumptuous_o neglect_v the_o same_o not_o of_o a_o sudden_a desire_n for_o he_o have_v time_n enough_o to_o consider_v what_o he_o do_v and_o yet_o see_v what_o mercy_n do_v the_o lord_n prepare_v a_o great_a whale_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n where_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o life_n for_o he_o afterward_o the_o lord_n have_v deliver_v he_o out_o of_o the_o whale_n belly_n he_o go_v and_o preach_v at_o niniveh_n so_o zealous_o as_o though_o he_o have_v never_o be_v the_o man_n which_o be_v so_o disobedient_a before_o and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v he_o murmur_v against_o god_n worse_o they_o ever_o he_o do_v and_o all_o because_o he_o spare_v the_o

of_o who_o they_o have_v hear_v by_o jonah_n &_o by_o who_o mighty_a power_n they_o be_v save_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n niniveh_n set_v on_o the_o score_n and_o have_v no_o ho_o with_o they_o in_o work_v wickedness_n but_o still_o fill_v the_o cup_n of_o all_o abomination_n and_o run_v down_o to_o hell_n with_o as_o much_o speed_n and_o force_v as_o they_o can_v and_o no_o stay_n but_o the_o peril_n of_o death_n and_o jonah_n he_o rebell_v against_o god_n for_o be_v send_v to_o niniveh_n he_o go_v to_o tarshish_n there_o be_v four_o special_a thing_n to_o be_v note_v in_o jonah_n first_o the_o danger_n of_o jonah_n by_o his_o disobedience_n secondlie_o the_o behaviour_n of_o jonah_n in_o the_o whale_n belly_n thirdlie_o the_o grudge_a and_o murmur_v of_o jonah_n against_o the_o lord_n god_n and_o fourthly_a the_o rebuke_v of_o jonah_n by_o god_n for_o his_o impiety_n he_o that_o receive_v a_o prophet_n in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o prophet_n shall_v receyve_v a_o prophet_n reward_n therefore_o let_v we_o prepare_v our_o ear_n to_o hear_v and_o receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n preach_v by_o his_o minister_n &_o let_v we_o think_v that_o jonah_n be_v come_v again_o to_o our_o house_n to_o preach_v whether_o it_o be_v forty_o day_n or_o forty_o week_n or_o forty_o year_n they_o that_o live_v like_o sodom_n shall_v be_v punish_v like_o sodom_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o jonah_n the_o son_n of_o amittai_n say_v ariseâ—_n etc._n etc._n we_o have_v see_v jonah_n a_o far_o off_o if_o we_o will_v we_o may_v see_v he_o near_o as_o our_o

you_o mayâ—_n hear_v sufficient_a for_o all_o the_o week_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v etc._n etc._n wherein_o i_o observe_v that_o jonah_n go_v not_o before_o he_o be_v send_v for_o he_o go_v to_o preach_v unto_o the_o gentile_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o special_a call_n and_o commission_n from_o the_o lord_n himself_o for_o it_o be_v unmeet_a to_o cast_v the_o child_n bread_n unto_o dog_n unless_o he_o have_v a_o special_a commandment_n from_o god_n so_o to_o do_v none_o ought_v to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o function_n of_o preach_v in_o the_o church_n unless_o they_o have_v their_o warrant_n or_o authority_n from_o god_n 4._o heb._n 5._o 4._o as_o aaron_n have_v and_o although_o they_o have_v not_o their_o authority_n in_o that_o form_n

from_o he_o else_o their_o calling_n be_v unlawful_a but_o now_o there_o be_v another_o authority_n creep_v into_o the_o church_n that_o make_v so_o many_o idol_n which_o have_v eye_n and_o see_v

this_o gall_n will_v not_o hold_v spur_v further_o i_o observe_v that_o as_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o jonah_n so_o the_o word_n of_o the_o pope_n come_v to_o his_o priest_n jesuit_n

but_o thus_o sin_n run_v on_o wheel_n as_o it_o be_v down_o a_o hill_n in_o all_o post_n have_v and_o never_o stay_v till_o it_o arrive_v even_o in_o hell_n now_o jonah_n think_v that_o because_o he_o

he_o may_v go_v safe_o to_o tarshish_n so_o sin_n follow_v one_o another_o like_a link_n of_o a_o chain_n till_o the_o tempest_n of_o destruction_n break_v it_o in_o sunder_o therefore_o one_o say_v i_o have_v swear_v and_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v i_o therefore_o i_o will_v steal_v i_o have_v steal_v and_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v i_o therefore_o i_o will_v kill_v i_o have_v kill_v and_o god_n

but_o happy_a be_v jonah_n if_o he_o have_v go_v before_o he_o be_v make_v to_o go_v if_o that_o he_o have_v consider_v with_o himself_o that_o god_n be_v the_o lord_n who_o be_v allseeing_a and_o

or_o when_o he_o pay_v the_o fare_n he_o will_v not_o have_v enter_v the_o ship_n or_o when_o he_o be_v go_v into_o the_o ship_n he_o will_v not_o have_v hoist_v the_o sail_n but_o rather_o will_v have_v leap_v out_o of_o that_o ship_n that_o shall_v carry_v he_o from_o his_o god_n but_o he_o forget_v himself_o think_v that_o the_o creature_n can_v hide_v he_o from_o the_o creator_n which_o be_v a_o 13._o heb._n 4._o 13._o absurd_a thing_n to_o think_v see_v nothing_o can_v be_v hide_v from_o he_o and_o so_o niniveh_n be_v still_o like_a niniveh_n but_o jonah_n be_v not_o like_o jonah_n than_o sin_n be_v cry_v and_o the_o prophet_n be_v fly_v and_o so_o all_o fall_v to_o confusion_n all_o those_o that_o pity_n jonah_n let_v they_o pity_v themselves_o for_o if_o we_o consider_v our_o

of_o the_o fall_n of_o jonah_n not_o rash_o condemn_v he_o for_o his_o fault_n for_o although_o david_n join_v murder_n with_o adultery_n yet_o he_o repent_v and_o be_v the_o dear_a child_n of_o god_n but_o jonah_n rise_v up_o to_o fly_v unto_o tarshish_n jonah_n be_v send_v to_o niniveh_n he_o fly_v to_o tarshish_n yet_o he_o go_v to_o niniveh_n at_o last_o not_o of_o free_a will_n as_o mean_v

my_o opinion_n that_o they_o which_o come_v hither_o to_o church_n only_o on_o the_o sabbath_n come_v not_o of_o conscience_n but_o for_o fear_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o let_v they_o know_v that_o in_o so_o do_v they_o fly_v from_o their_o comfort_n yea_o they_o fly_v from_o god_n now_o jonah_n go_v to_o the_o haven_n and_o there_o he_o find_v a_o ship_n not_o go_v to_o niniveh_n but_o to_o tarshish_n as_o soon_o he_o set_v forward_o to_o fly_v from_o god_n satan_n straight_o way_n prepare_v a_o ship_n so_o that_o temptation_n and_o occasion_n of_o sin_n do_v always_o go_v together_o shall_v judas_n lack_v money_n or_o jonah_n stay_v for_o a_o ship_n no_o say_v satan_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o minister_n here_o judas_n take_v thou_o money_n and_o betray_v thy_o master_n and_o jonah_n here_o be_v a_o ship_n for_o thou_o go_v haste_v thou_o away_o and_o fly_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o if_o any_o will_v ask_v what_o the_o devil_n occupation_n be_v it_o be_v to_o provide_v snare_n and_o begin_v whereinto_o to_o entice_v and_o therein_o to_o catch_v thou_o and_o i_o and_o he_o pay_v the_o fare_n thereof_o this_o money_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o

for_o they_o that_o kick_v against_o he_o &_o disdain_v to_o be_v cross_v of_o dust_n and_o ash_n now_o satan_n thou_o have_v bring_v he_o into_o the_o ship_n and_o persuade_v he_o to_o fly_v from_o
