westminster_n whitherto_o the_o head_n of_o the_o tribe_n be_v gather_v and_o which_o be_v indeed_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o the_o kingdom_n these_o have_v be_v safe_a as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v of_o they_o as_o sometime_o of_o jerusalem_n the_o enemy_n shall_v not_o shoot_v a_o arrow_n into_o they_o 33._o isa_n 37._o 33._o their_o aim_n have_v be_v indeed_o at_o we_o from_o the_o

they_o aim_v at_o to_o this_o day_n how_o many_o day_n have_v they_o set_v themselves_o for_o their_o come_n to_o london_n boast_v such_o a_o time_n they_o will_v certain_o come_v and_o divide_v the_o spoil_n of_o london_n and_o satisfy_v their_o rage_n and_o lust_n both_o together_o but_o how_o may_v i_o say_v to_o they_o as_o our_o saviour_n to_o peter_n say_v he_o when_o thou_o be_v young_a thou_o girde_v thyself_o and_o go_v whither_o thou_o will_v but_o when_o thou_o be_v old_a thou_o shall_v stretch_v out_o thy_o hand_n and_o another_o shall_v gird_v thou_o so_o i_o to_o they_o when_o they_o be_v jovial_a and_o prosper_v how_o oft_o have_v they_o point_v themselves_o a_o day_n of_o come_v hither_o though_o in_o the_o wind_a up_o we_o see_v they_o glad_a to_o come_v in_o by_o a_o day_n of_o your_o point_n they_o themselves_o have_v often_o heretofore_o set_v themselves_o a_o day_n for_o their_o come_n to_o london_n now_o let_v they_o look_v to_o it_o if_o they_o come_v not_o in_o by_o the_o day_n of_o your_o set_n so_o that_o in_o this_o also_o you_o perceive_v your_o condition_n alike_o to_o joseph_n which_o shall_v exceed_o animate_v you_o in_o your_o work_n your_o bow_n have_v abode_n in_o strength_n and_o the_o arm_n of_o your_o hand_n have_v be_v make_v strong_a you_o neither_o be_v hitherto_o so_o far_o prevail_v upon_o as_o to_o forego_v a_o good_a conscience_n nor_o yet_o to_o be_v ruin_v and_o destroy_v for_o keep_v of_o it_o god_n have_v make_v good_a to_o you_o this_o truth_n also_o that_o however_o the_o people_n of_o god_n may_v be_v assault_v infest_a by_o enemy_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o whole_o overcome_v by_o they_o observe_v 3_o the_o godly_a be_v assault_v be_v not_o only_o not_o overcome_v but_o in_o conclusion_n prevail_v and_o become_v the_o head_n of_o their_o enemy_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o joseph_n who_o although_o sometime_o the_o most_o abject_a malign_v one_o of_o all_o israel_n family_n yet_o at_o last_o become_v both_o the_o shepherd_n and_o stone_n of_o israel_n thus_o it_o happen_v to_o our_o saviour_n who_o although_o a_o stone_n despise_v and_o reject_v of_o the_o bvilder_n yet_o in_o conclusion_n become_v the_o head_n of_o the_o corner_n 12._o psal_n 118._o 12._o and_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v sometime_o that_o the_o godly_a may_v be_v make_v amends_o unto_o for_o their_o suffering_n sometime_o the_o lord_n recompense_n the_o service_n of_o wicked_a man_n thus_o have_v nabuchadnezzar_n the_o conquest_n and_o spoil_n of_o egypt_n for_o his_o service_n do_v against_o tyre_n and_o if_o 20._o ezek._n 29._o 18_o 19_o 20._o he_o reward_v wicked_a man_n service_n will_v he_o not_o much_o more_o recompense_v his_o people_n suffering_n sometime_o to_o vex_v and_o torment_v their_o enemy_n to_o who_o what_o great_a vexation_n then_o to_o see_v the_o man_n that_o they_o so_o much_o detest_v advance_v above_o they_o what_o great_a torment_n to_o haman_n then_o that_o mordecai_n shall_v be_v the_o man_n who_o the_o king_n will_v honour_v sometime_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o enemy_n themselves_o and_o this_o be_v plain_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n for_o have_v not_o joseph_n be_v sell_v into_o egypt_n and_o there_o advance_v both_o they_o that_o sell_v he_o yea_o and_o that_o whole_a family_n may_v have_v be_v lose_v and_o destroy_v through_o want_n and_o famine_n and_o have_v not_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v that_o after-terward_a he_o may_v be_v exalt_v how_o have_v neither_o any_o of_o those_o from_o who_o he_o suffer_v or_o any_o other_o be_v save_v by_o he_o use_v and_o be_v not_o this_o truth_n make_v good_a to_o you_o this_o day_n and_o be_v not_o you_o so_o far_o from_o be_v overcome_v that_o indeed_o you_o have_v prevail_v and_o be_v raise_v far_o above_o the_o lowness_n of_o your_o enemy_n sure_o you_o have_v prosper_v wonderful_o of_o late_a day_n you_o have_v prevail_v to_o admiration_n your_o bow_n have_v not_o only_o be_v strong_a as_o joseph_n but_o like_o the_o bow_n of_o jonathan_n that_o turn_v not_o back_o that_o return_v not_o empty_a it_o have_v prosper_v so_o 2d_o 2_o sam._n 1._o 2d_o of_o late_a as_o if_o like_o that_o bow_n in_o the_o cloud_n it_o do_v assure_v we_o we_o shall_v no_o more_o have_v a_o deluge_n a_o deluge_n of_o blood_n in_o england_n how_o every_o whit_n as_o like_v be_v you_o become_v to_o joseph_n in_o your_o prosperous_a condition_n as_o you_o see_v yourselves_o like_o he_o erewhile_o in_o your_o affliction_n and_o suffering_n and_o if_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o likeness_n of_o your_o suffering_n i_o say_v erewhile_o the_o archer_n have_v sore_o grieve_v you_o shoot_v at_o you_o hate_v you_o how_o true_o for_o your_o alike_o prosper_v may_v i_o now_o say_v your_o bow_n have_v abode_n in_o strength_n and_o the_o arm_n of_o your_o hand_n have_v be_v strengthen_v and_o you_o be_v this_o day_n become_v the_o shepherd_n and_o stone_n of_o england_n give_v i_o but_o leave_v a_o little_a to_o make_v out_o this_o parallel_n also_o first_o therefore_o we_o find_v that_o joseph_n after_o depression_n 41._o gen_n 41._o 41._o and_o suffering_n for_o a_o while_n be_v in_o conclusion_n make_v ruler_n over_o all_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n and_o be_v not_o your_o condition_n parallel_n who_o whatever_n your_o former_a difficulty_n and_o trouble_n have_v be_v and_o howsoever_o straighten_a and_o confine_v yet_o be_v now_o become_v ruler_n even_o over_o all_o the_o kingdom_n but_o further_a it_o happen_v that_o upon_o joseph_n advancement_n and_o prevail_a his_o brethren_n those_o archer_n that_o shoot_v at_o he_o and_o hate_v he_o do_v now_o come_v crouch_v 6._o gen._n 42._o 6._o yea_o prostrate_v themselves_o before_o he_o and_o who_o see_v

the_o like_a case_n the_o beast_n of_o the_o reed_n by_o which_o the_o company_n of_o archer_n be_v ai●sw_n psal_n 68_o 31._o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d feras_fw-la arundinis_fw-la vide_fw-la

present_v themselves_o before_o he_o speak_v rough_o unto_o they_o tell_v they_o they_o be_v spy_n and_o till_o he_o perceive_v from_o they_o ●_o gen._n 41._o 7_o 8_o ●_o some_o sense_n of_o their_o

sufficient_a that_o you_o accept_v from_o your_o malignant_a brethren_n a_o moiety_n of_o their_o estate_n and_o they_o pay_v down_o their_o price_n of_o blood_n without_o expect_v from_o they_o any_o

will_v it_o not_o prove_v true_a of_o they_o then_o of_o joseph_n brethren_n again_o joseph_n sometime_o dream_v that_o the_o sun_n and_o 9_o gen._n 37._o 9_o moon_n and_o star_n do_v obeisance_n
