we_o for_o the_o well_o of_o our_o mother_n now_o you_o have_v hear_v this_o text_n in_o all_o their_o six_o step_n 1._o first_o a_o mountain_n see_v 2._o a_o mountain_n reprove_v and_o disdain_v 3._o a_o mountain_n to_o be_v remove_v 4._o a_o grow_a work_n 5._o to_o be_v finish_v 6._o with_o great_a applause_n of_o all_o
work_n even_o the_o mighty_a enemy_n that_o oppose_v themselves_o to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n you_o may_v observe_v a_o four_o fold_v power_n of_o god_n against_o these_o mountain_n first_o a_o determine_a power_n whereby_o he_o set_v such_o bound_n to_o the_o great_a mountain_n that_o you_o see_v they_o fall_v not_o upon_o the_o valley_n albeit_o they_o overtop_v they_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v bound_n to_o the_o great_a king_n in_o the_o world_n which_o they_o can_v not_o pass_v when_o they_o have_v set_v themselves_o against_o the_o lord_n people_n we_o may_v see_v a_o example_n of_o this_o in_o sennacherib_n 2_o king_n 19_o 32._o therefore_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n concern_v the_o king_n of_o assyria_n he_o shall_v not_o come_v up_o to_o this_o city_n nor_o shoot_v a_o arrow_n against_o it_o nor_o come_v before_o it_o with_o shield_n nor_o cast_v a_o bank_n against_o it_o you_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o king_n that_o he_o come_v against_o you_o fear_v not_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o restrain_v power_n be_v able_a to_o keep_v he_o back_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o shoot_v so_o much_o as_o a_o bullet_n against_o this_o city_n second_o god_n remove_v impediment_n by_o his_o assist_a power_n as_o he_o promise_v to_o do_v before_o cyrus_n isa._n 45._o 2_o i_o will_v go_v before_o thou_o and_o make_v the_o crooked_a place_n straight_o i_o will_v break_v in_o piece_n the_o

not_o this_o discourage_v you_o god_n be_v with_o you_o by_o his_o assist_a power_n to_o go_v before_o you_o to_o make_v all_o crooked_a place_n straight_o and_o to_o break_v the_o brazen_a gate_n and_o to_o out_o in_o sunder_o the_o iron_n barrs_n three_o god_n have_v a_o change_a power_n whereby_o he_o make_v mountain_n plain_a how_o easy_a be_v it_o with_o god_n to_o make_v the_o high_a

whither_o soever_o he_o will_v lord_n make_v our_o mountain_n thus_o plain_a the_o four_o way_n how_o god_n remove_v mountain_n be_v by_o a_o overthrow_v power_n if_o there_o be_v no_o change_n yet_o

grip_n of_o the_o heart_n &_o of_o a_o proud_a haughty_a heart_n make_v it_o towards_o and_o plain_a we_o have_v see_v such_o a_o change_n by_o experience_n this_o work_n have_v many_o enemy_n at_o the_o beginning_n that_o impede_v it_o who_o god_n have_v take_v by_o the_o heart_n and_o make_v plain_a yea_o have_v make_v they_o furtherer_n of_o the_o work_n 2._o there_o be_v another_o way_n of_o make_v mountain_n plain_a to_o wit_n make_v plain_a in_o wrath_n when_o god_n overthrow_v the_o mountain_n that_o stand_v up_o impede_v his_o work_n assure_v yourselves_o if_o god_n bring_v not_o down_o this_o mountain_n we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o in_o mercy_n he_o shall_v overthrow_v it_o in_o wrath_n and_o make_v it_o waste_v that_o i_o may_v make_v this_o mountain_n more_o plain_a you_o shall_v consider_v how_o it_o shall_v become_v a_o plain_a and_o how_o easy_o it_o may_v be_v make_v a_o plain_n 1._o i_o see_v you_o look_v up_o to_o the_o height_n of_o it_o and_o you_o be_v say_v within_o yourselves_o how_o shall_v it_o come_v down_o you_o must_v not_o think_v that_o it_o will_v come_v down_o of_o its_o own_o accord_n god_n use_v instrument_n to_o pull_v down_o i_o find_v that_o god_n have_v make_v his_o own_o people_n instrument_n to_o pull_v down_o such_o mountain_n isai._n 41._o v_o 14_o 15_o 16._o fear_v not_o worm_n jacob_n and_o you_o man_n of_o israel_n i_o

a_o stooted_a mountain_n stand_v upon_o weak_a pillar_n if_o you_o will_v take_v a_o look_n of_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o mountain_n it_o stand_v upon_o two_o main_a pillar_n and_o upon_o
