as_o potter_n shred_n with_o the_o sceptre_n of_o his_o power_n use_v that_o i_o may_v render_v these_o truth_n practicable_a and_o accommodate_v they_o to_o the_o use_n and_o benefit_n of_o this_o

provoke_v or_o move_v any_o to_o anger_n except_o it_o be_v at_o his_o sin_n i_o shall_v therefore_o endeavour_v to_o speak_v word_n of_o truth_n and_o soberness_n and_o yet_o choose_v rather_o to_o offend_v man_n than_o provoke_v the_o most_o high_a there_o be_v two_o uses_n i_o have_v to_o suggest_v unto_o which_o i_o shall_v reduce_v those_o few_o word_n which_o i_o have_v to_o speak_v the_o

confess_v when_o i_o serious_o look_v upon_o this_o people_n in_o their_o constitution_n civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a mould_v in_o the_o one_o under_o wholesome_a law_n in_o the_o other_o under_o strict_a and_o sacred_a covenant_n when_o i_o consider_v that_o the_o management_n of_o these_o be_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o pious_a and_o prudent_a magistracy_n a_o godly_a and_o learned_a ministry_n when_o i_o think_v how_o many_o there_o be_v who_o heart_n be_v upright_o with_o god_n and_o do_v not_o wicked_o depart_v from_o his_o covenant_n when_o i_o mind_n that_o by_o the_o very_a confession_n of_o unprejudiced_a stranger_n here_o be_v more_o of_o sobriety_n and_o honest_a conversation_n than_o almost_o in_o any_o place_n they_o have_v occasion_n to_o be_v conversant_a in_o it_o seem_v hard_a to_o believe_v that_o god_n who_o be_v full_a of_o mercy_n and_o pity_n who_o know_v this_o frame_n of_o we_o and_o mind_n that_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n shall_v declare_v against_o we_o though_o many_o infirmity_n shall_v appear_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o we_o and_o can_v be_v willing_a to_o think_v that_o all_o the_o warning_n &_o menace_n which_o have_v be_v utter_v by_o these_o or_o those_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o mistake_v of_o a_o irregular_a though_o well_o mind_v zeal_n or_o the_o dump_n and_o night_n vision_n of_o some_o melancholic_a spirit_n and_o thus_o indeed_o be_v the_o prophet_n of_o old_a censure_v but_o when_o i_o thorough_o weigh_v all_o circumstance_n in_o a_o equal_a balance_n i_o dare_v not_o but_o conclude_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v send_v they_o to_o speak_v all_o these_o word_n what_o they_o have_v speak_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n upon_o record_n and_o commend_v to_o we_o in_o print_n wherein_o we_o be_v impeach_v for_o degenercy_n threaten_v with_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n if_o we_o amend_v not_o and_o thence_o solemn_o advise_v and_o invite_v to_o repent_v if_o they_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n then_o be_v we_o far_o from_o be_v safe_a and_o secure_a from_o eminent_a danger_n i_o know_v they_o have_v be_v condemn_v by_o some_o contemn_v by_o many_o more_o scarce_o believe_v by_o any_o if_o we_o be_v to_o take_v the_o evidence_n of_o man_n faith_n by_o their_o work_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v ponder_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o they_o may_v leave_v conviction_n behind_o they_o 1._o they_o be_v the_o lord_n faithful_a watchman_n who_o give_v this_o alarm_n not_o man_n that_o come_v upon_o their_o own_o head_n but_o be_v set_v up_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o descry_v and_o give_v

he_o reveal_v his_o secret_n to_o his_o servant_n the_o prophet_n they_o be_v such_o as_o true_o fear_v god_n and_o will_v not_o dare_v to_o prophesy_v lie_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n 2._o they_o be_v such_o as_o love_v and_o labour_v for_o the_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n of_o this_o people_n who_o can_v true_o with_o the_o prophet_n appeal_v to_o he_o who_o know_v the_o heart_n that_o

our_o jerusalem_n who_o mourn_v in_o secret_a for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o land_n and_o to_o their_o ability_n strong_o endeavour_v to_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o they_o and_o to_o prevent_v the_o
