of_o the_o proposition_n and_o consider_v whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a three_o and_o last_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o manifest_a that_o the_o force_n or_o effect_v of_o these_o reason_n upon_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v avoid_v that_o as_o there_o be_v sufficient_a cause_n why_o they_o shall_v be_v uneasy_a so_o in_o fact_n they_o be_v affect_v at_o least_o habitual_o with_o a_o sharp_a and_o pungent_a sense_n of_o pain_n and_o misery_n first_o i_o shall_v explain_v the_o term_n

by_o the_o wicked_a be_v understand_v such_o person_n as_o have_v throw_v off_o the_o government_n of_o god_n and_o obey_v the_o suggestion_n of_o their_o own_o will_n dissolute_a man_n that_o

and_o this_o definition_n of_o the_o wicked_a agree_v exact_o with_o all_o the_o account_n and_o description_n of_o they_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n they_o set_v themselves_o against_o god_n and_o against_o his_o anoint_v say_v the_o psalmist_n 2.3_o say_v let_v we_o break_v their_o bond_n in_o sunder_o and_o cast_v away_o their_o cord_n from_o we_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o

58.13_o they_o be_v child_n of_o disobedience_n fulfil_v the_o will_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o of_o the_o mind_n say_v the_o apostle_n ephes_n 2.23_o that_o be_v the_o first_o second_o by_o peace_n in_o the_o text_n which_o be_v deny_v to_o the_o wicked_a we_o understand_v tranquillity_n of_o mind_n and_o a_o rational_a uniform_a satisfaction_n in_o our_o state_n peace_n i_o confess_v be_v

sense_n viz._n of_o inward_a satisfaction_n and_o a_o deliberate_a content_n of_o mind_n because_o the_o no-peace_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v oppose_v to_o the_o rest_n and_o peace_n of_o the_o righteous_a at_o the_o 19_o verse_n and_o because_o the_o prophet_n have_v explain_v it_o thus_o himself_o in_o the_o word_n before_o my_o text._n but_o the_o wicked_a be_v like_o a_o trouble_a sea_n when_o it_o can_v rest_v who_o water_n cast_v up_o mire_n and_o dirt._n there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a they_o shall_v never_o attain_v to_o a_o state_n of_o true_a content_a or_o enjoy_v a_o habitual_a steady_a satisfaction_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o term_n second_o i_o proceed_v as_o i_o propose_v in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o consider_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o proposition_n itself_o or_o whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a the_o kind_n of_o his_o trouble_n and_o the_o symptom_n of_o his_o disquietude_n be_v very_o many_o but_o they_o all_o proceed_v from_o one_o or_o other_o of_o these_o follow_a cause_n either_o 1._o from_o the_o degeneracy_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n or_o 2._o from_o the_o malignity_n of_o vice_n itself_o or_o 3._o and_o last_o from_o a_o sense_n of_o their_o gild_n from_o their_o dread_a of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o terrible_a sanction_n of_o his_o law_n first_o of_o all_o the_o disquietude_n of_o the_o wicked_a arise_v from_o the_o degeneracy_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n as_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n incline_v he_o to_o create_v the_o world_n so_o his_o own_o most_o perfect_a wisdom_n assign_v to_o every_o sort_n of_o be_v a_o peculiar_a end_n that_o so_o the_o several_a part_n pursue_v their_o design_n and_o fulfil_v their_o intent_n
