we_o partaker_n of_o holiness_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o punishment_n have_v a_o natural_a tendency_n to_o these_o end_n nothing_o more_o apt_a to_o make_v we_o out_o of_o love_n with_o our_o sin_n than_o the_o smart_a a_o little_a for_o they_o the_o taste_n of_o the_o bitterness_n that_o be_v hide_v under_o these_o gild_a pill_n if_o any_o thing_n will_v make_v we_o disrelish_v and_o nauseate_n they_o when_o we_o feel_v nothing_o but_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o sin_n we_o be_v enamour_v with_o it_o and_o greedy_o pursue_v it_o but_o when_o we_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o smart_n and_o misery_n that_o attend_v it_o than_o we_o begin_v to_o abate_v of_o our_o love_n and_o value_n for_o it_o a_o long_a series_n of_o impunity_n and_o prosperity_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v a_o people_n wax_v fat_a and_o forget_v god_n but_o in_o their_o affliction_n they_o will_v seek_v he_o early_o or_o diligent_o as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v when_o therefore_o he_o see_v a_o nation_n revolt_a from_o he_o commit_v whoredom_n against_o he_o prostitute_v themselves_o to_o their_o lust_n forsake_v he_o and_o cleave_v to_o their_o vice_n than_o he_o lay_v his_o rod_n upon_o they_o to_o convince_v they_o how_o bitter_a and_o grievous_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o depart_v from_o the_o live_a god_n then_o he_o throw_v in_o a_o dash_n of_o gall_n of_o wormwood_n to_o embitter_v those_o satifaction_n and_o delight_n to_o they_o which_o they_o be_v so_o in_o love_n with_o which_o as_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a demonstration_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n when_o the_o very_o severe_a of_o his_o dispensation_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v instance_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o they_o his_o very_a judgement_n token_n of_o his_o paternal_a love_n and_o the_o design_a end_n of_o his_o punishment_n and_o correction_n the_o good_a and_o reformation_n of_o his_o people_n so_o must_v it_o mighty_o enhance_v the_o guilt_n of_o those_o sinner_n that_o be_v not_o wrought_v upon_o by_o such_o gracious_a and_o efficacious_a method_n chief_o because_o these_o be_v common_o the_o last_o remedy_n that_o god_n try_v to_o reduce_v they_o he_o do_v not_o ordinary_o use_v these_o till_o he_o find_v soft_a method_n ineffectual_a and_o if_o these_o work_v not_o with_o a_o people_n but_o they_o be_v proof_n against_o they_o also_o what_o will_v become_v of_o they_o when_o a_o physician_n have_v cup_v and_o scarify_v and_o use_v his_o last_o method_n upon_o a_o patient_n if_o they_o have_v no_o effect_n he_o give_v he_o over_o if_o he_o continue_v stupid_a and_o insensible_a under_o those_o operation_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v near_o his_o end_n belove_a god_n almighty_n do_v not_o strike_v or_o inflict_v punishment_n till_o he_o find_v he_o can_v win_v we_o by_o fair_a mean_n punish_v be_v his_o strange_a work_n he_o afflict_v not_o willing_o nor_o grieve_v the_o child_n of_o man_n he_o have_v rather_o allure_v we_o by_o kindness_n draw_v we_o with_o the_o cord_n of_o a_o man_n with_o the_o band_n of_o love_n but_o when_o he_o find_v that_o his_o gentle_a deal_n will_v not_o reduce_v we_o that_o we_o be_v make_v loose_a and_o dissolute_a by_o kindness_n embolden_v and_o encourage_v in_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o forbearance_n than_o he_o use_v his_o severe_a dispensation_n than_o he_o lash_v and_o strike_v we_o visit_v our_o iniquity_n upon_o we_o to_o make_v we_o in_o some_o measure_n feel_v the_o dreadful_a consequence_n of_o they_o but_o if_o this_o will_v not_o do_v this_o his_o last_o method_n can_v affect_v or_o amend_v we_o there_o remain_v no_o more_o for_o we_o and_o when_o once_o a_o nation_n have_v overcome_v all_o god_n art_n of_o preserve_v they_o and_o make_v themselves_o ripe_a for_o destruction_n execution_n will_v quick_o follow_v for_o it_o be_v not_o with_o a_o nation_n as_o with_o a_o particular_a person_n a_o particular_a person_n may_v have_v fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o sin_n make_v himself_o ripe_a for_o ruin_n and_o yet_o his_o punishment_n may_v be_v defer_v it_o may_v be_v not_o execute_v all_o his_o life_n yea_o possible_o he_o may_v enjoy_v the_o affluence_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n the_o scripture_n frequent_o speak_v of_o the_o flourish_a condition_n of_o particular_a wicked_a man_n and_o their_o exemption_n from_o those_o plague_n and_o misery_n which_o other_o better_a than_o themselves_o be_v subject_a to_o and_o labour_n under_o their_o iniquity_n may_v have_v be_v full_a and_o yet_o no_o present_a judgement_n award_v out_o against_o they_o but_o as_o to_o kingdom_n and_o nation_n god_n procedure_n be_v quite_o different_a when_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o nation_n be_v full_a present_a execution_n succeed_v as_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o history_n of_o god_n deal_n whether_o with_o his_o own_o people_n or_o with_o other_o nation_n and_o there_o be_v this_o reason_n for_o this_o difference_n in_o god_n procedure_n particular_a person_n be_v capable_a of_o retribution_n in_o another_o life_n after_o this_o there_o be_v a_o time_n come_v when_o they_o may_v be_v call_v to_o account_v and_o sufficient_o punish_v for_o their_o sin_n though_o their_o iniquity_n be_v not_o visit_v here_o though_o they_o do_v not_o smart_v under_o god_n judgement_n in_o this_o life_n but_o seem_v rather_o to_o inherit_v the_o favour_n of_o heaven_n yet_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v a_o day_n appoint_v a_o day_n of_o destruction_n which_o they_o be_v reserve_v to_o wherein_o their_o short_a live_a impunity_n it_o may_v be_v jollity_n here_o shall_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o eternity_n of_o tribulation_n and_o anguish_n and_o pain_n this_o may_v be_v without_o any_o impeachment_n of_o god_n holiness_n truth_n or_o justice_n but_o for_o nation_n or_o kingdom_n it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o a_o nation_n or_o kingdom_n consider_v as_o such_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o retribution_n in_o a_o life_n after_o this_o for_o in_o the_o resurrection_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v consider_v as_o person_n embody_v in_o such_o or_o such_o a_o community_n in_o the_o resurrection_n there_o be_v no_o marry_v or_o give_v in_o marriage_n say_v our_o saviour_n in_o the_o other_o world_n we_o shall_v not_o live_v in_o those_o capacity_n we_o do_v here_o all_o relation_n that_o be_v among_o we_o now_o will_v then_o cease_v all_o such_o as_o husband_n and_o wife_n prince_n and_o people_n king_n and_o subject_n be_v quite_o swallow_v up_o in_o that_o world_n and_o therefore_o since_o the_o relation_n and_o society_n of_o this_o world_n shall_v then_o be_v dissolve_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o a_o nation_n as_o a_o nation_n can_v receive_v any_o retribution_n in_o another_o life_n after_o this_o because_o than_o it_o will_v cease_v to_o be_v a_o nation_n and_o can_v therefore_o be_v reward_v or_o punish_v as_o such_o from_o whence_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o every_o nation_n shall_v meet_v with_o the_o present_n return_v of_o their_o wickedness_n here_o because_o god_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o show_v himself_o as_o just_a in_o his_o deal_n with_o nation_n as_o with_o particular_a person_n and_o that_o he_o can_v no_o more_o pass_v by_o the_o sin_n of_o one_o than_o of_o the_o other_o from_o all_o which_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o when_o a_o people_n or_o nation_n have_v resist_v all_o god_n endeavour_n for_o their_o reformation_n the_o strive_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o the_o effort_n of_o his_o judgement_n too_o will_v neither_o hearken_v to_o the_o still_a voice_n of_o his_o kindness_n nor_o the_o loud_a voice_n of_o his_o rod_n be_v not_o only_o make_v bold_a and_o secure_a by_o his_o forbearance_n but_o harden_v in_o the_o fire_n of_o affliction_n when_o they_o defy_v all_o his_o art_n for_o their_o amendment_n and_o have_v no_o impression_n make_v upon_o they_o by_o his_o utmost_a last_o most_o effectual_a method_n the_o state_n sure_o of_o that_o nation_n be_v desperate_a and_o the_o day_n of_o their_o ruin_n and_o utter_v excision_n not_o far_o off_o to_o apply_v then_o what_o have_v be_v say_v to_o ourselves_o let_v we_o i_o beseech_v you_o take_v a_o impartial_a view_n of_o ourselves_o and_o of_o god_n dispensation_n towards_o we_o of_o this_o nation_n let_v we_o examine_v whether_o he_o have_v not_o be_v use_v the_o same_o method_n to_o reclaim_v we_o that_o he_o exercise_v israel_n with_o and_o what_o effect_n they_o have_v have_v upon_o we_o i_o need_v not_o go_v so_o far_o back_o as_o to_o the_o age_n of_o our_o forefather_n i_o need_v only_o refresh_v your_o memory_n and_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o various_a judgement_n that_o god_n have_v pour_v out_o upon_o this_o kingdom_n in_o your_o own_o time_n even_o the_o very_a same_o that_o he_o here_o in_o the_o text_n threaten_v
