be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o author_n nature_n and_o end_n of_o all_o these_o trial_n it_o will_v direct_v we_o first_o of_o all_o to_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v sanctify_v it_o for_o the_o cleanse_n of_o his_o church_n that_o he_o will_v purify_v son_n of_o levi_n and_o reform_v the_o protestant_a profession_n in_o the_o world_n the_o church_n most_o of_o all_o need_v our_o prayer_n at_o this_o

we_o ourselves_o may_v be_v bring_v under_o the_o fi●ry_a trial_n i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v many_o awful_a symptom_n of_o it_o and_o more_o from_o time_n to_o time_n yea_o we_o be_v likely_a enough_o to_o pull_v it_o down_o upon_o our_o own_o head_n by_o our_o foolish_a division_n and_o strange_a indiscretion_n and_o ready_a enough_o we_o be_v to_o censure_v and_o charge_v one_o another_o in_o this_o kind_n but_o there_o be_v a_o high_a hand_n move_v all_o these_o lesser_a wheel_n and_o if_o we_o will_v look_v aright_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v most_o awe_n and_o affect_v we_o be_v this_o that_o we_o be_v become_v degenerate_a we_o have_v backslide_v and_o go_v aside_o from_o god_n we_o have_v lose_v our_o first_o love_n we_o be_v grow_v dirty_a and_o drossy_a obstinate_a and_o hard-hearted_a and_o unwilling_a to_o be_v reclaim_v if_o therefore_o god_n shall_v withdraw_v from_o we_o and_o leave_v our_o public_a affair_n to_o miscarry_v in_o our_o hand_n i_o will_v say_v it_o be_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o may_v fulfil_v the_o word_n of_o his_o minister_n that_o tell_v and_o warn_v we_o of_o day_n of_o great_a calamity_n approach_v because_o we_o will_v not_o hear_v they_o and_o return_v to_o our_o god_n and_o let_v all_o such_o as_o fear_n god_n ponder_v of_o these_o thing_n look_v for_o and_o see_v abundant_a reason_n to_o expect_v a_o winnow_a time_n a_o time_n of_o burn_a a_o day_n of_o great_a trial_n that_o when_o it_o come_v you_o may_v not_o be_v take_v at_o unaware_o or_o judge_v it_o a_o strange_a thing_n be_v surprise_v with_o undue_a terror_n and_o fright_n but_o may_v with_o quietness_n and_o patience_n submit_v to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o it_o so_o shall_v you_o endure_v the_o trial_n and_o not_o be_v burn_v up_o as_o chaff_n and_o dross_n by_o it_o but_o be_v bring_v out_o of_o it_o again_o with_o joy_n and_o glory_v inasmuch_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v account_v to_o you_o for_o a_o fi●●ing_n up_o of_o the_o suffering_n of_o
