a_o man_n must_v not_o find_v his_o heart_n straighten_a but_o be_v so_o cheerful_a in_o his_o disposition_n for_o this_o purpose_n as_o if_o he_o rejoice_v in_o the_o opportunity_n that_o god_n

those_o that_o need_v they_o they_o look_v so_o austere_o and_o sullen_o and_o supercilious_o as_o if_o they_o will_v eat_v they_o as_o if_o as_o the_o baziliske_n they_o will_v kill_v they_o with_o

acknowledge_v god_n hand_n in_o smite_v and_o in_o deliver_v of_o they_o yet_o god_n know_v they_o make_v no_o good_a use_n of_o it_o i_o will_v go_v back_o but_o to_o the_o great_a plague_n when_o our_o water_n be_v turn_v into_o blood_n do_v not_o the_o destroy_a angel_n that_o march_v furious_o as_o jehu_n make_v the_o stout_a heart_n to_o tremble_v no_o question_n and_o the_o retreat_n be_v

look_v for_o fruit_n if_o we_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v god_n work_n we_o be_v convince_v of_o god_n power_n but_o what_o fruit_n be_v there_o the_o devil_n be_v convince_v of_o god_n power_n but_o have_v we_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n oh_o some_o fruit_n we_o supererogate_v with_o god_n in_o if_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n or_o lust_n or_o oppression_n and_o uncharitableness_n god_n shall_v have_v more_o than_o he_o desire_v but_o these_o be_v not_o the_o fruit_n that_o god_n look_v for_o be_v not_o we_o as_o ambitious_a as_o proud_a as_o excessive_a as_o fraudulent_a as_o ever_o we_o be_v what_o one_o fin_n in_o this_o city_n shall_v i_o say_v be_v remove_v nay_o i_o will_v it_o be_v abate_v nay_o belove_a i_o fear_v and_o i_o fear_v to_o speak_v it_o we_o be_v again_o ready_a and_o white_a to_o another_o sickle_n o_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n when_o the_o come_n of_o god_n judgement_n shall_v make_v we_o humble_a and_o the_o remove_n of_o it_o shall_v make_v we_o unthankful_a for_o this_o show_v that_o that_o humiliation_n be_v enforce_v and_o not_o ingenuous_a therefore_o let_v we_o look_v that_o the_o next_o cup_n be_v more_o bitter_a look_v to_o it_o there_o will_v worse_o thing_n befall_v we_o because_o we_o acknowledge_v the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o have_v not_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a of_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n last_o to_o shut_v up_o all_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o and_o that_o be_v this_o our_o god_n there_o be_v no_o god_n like_o our_o god_n in_o what_o a_o near_a relation_n god_n stand_v to_o his_o people_n i_o show_v before_o all_o that_o i_o will_v do_v be_v by_o way_n of_o application_n to_o work_v upon_o we_o to_o a_o holy_a recognition_n of_o god_n favour_n that_o he_o have_v draw_v we_o near_o to_o he_o then_o many_o thousand_o in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o divinity_n in_o pronoun_n say_v luther_n i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o comfort_n for_o god_n to_o be_v the_o god_n of_o all_o the_o world_n in_o a_o general_a latitude_n it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o but_o to_o be_v our_o god_n to_o enclose_v and_o impropriate_a this_o god_n to_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v say_v he_o be_v our_o god_n and_o we_o be_v his_o people_n this_o be_v a_o wondrous_a comfort_n now_o than_o what_o be_v require_v of_o we_o as_o we_o draw_v this_o god_n near_o ourselves_o and_o say_v as_o thomas_n do_v my_o god_n and_o my_o lord_n joh._n 20._o as_o we_o draw_v near_o to_o he_o so_o let_v our_o conversation_n be_v worthy_a of_o so_o near_o a_o relation_n for_o god_n will_v be_v honour_v in_o all_o that_o come_v so_o near_o he_o he_o can_v better_o endure_v the_o wickedness_n of_o those_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o pale_n of_o it_o than_o the_o profaneness_n of_o those_o that_o be_v in_o it_o he_o will_v have_v those_o that_o he_o have_v take_v so_o especial_a a_o charge_n of_o it_o that_o they_o be_v holy_a &_o plough_n &_o that_o their_o conversation_n be_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n therefore_o as_o oft_o as_o we_o reflect_v upon_o our_o relation_n let_v it_o be_v ever_o a_o motive_n to_o a_o holy_a

a_o pure_a god_n and_o his_o pure_a eye_n can_v endure_v iniquity_n we_o must_v live_v to_o his_o glory_n and_o honour_v he_o that_o have_v draw_v we_o so_o near_o he_o and_o then_o we_o be_v sure_a
