be_v in_o heaven_n the_o other_o of_o his_o laugh_n at_o his_o adversary_n even_o to_o show_v that_o that_o conspiracy_n which_o be_v make_v against_o he_o &_o his_o anoint_a shall_v not_o prosper_v or_o prevail_v but_o vanish_v &_o come_v to_o nothing_o so_o that_o the_o doctrine_n be_v right_o collect_v out_o of_o the_o text_n and_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v unto_o we_o out_o of_o sundry_a place_n of_o sacred_a writ_n but_o i_o will_v touch_v some_o two_o or_o three_o only_a at_o this_o time_n and_o so_o pass_v it_o over_o the_o first_o be_v out_o of_o the_o prophet_n isay_n in_o the_o 8_o chapter_n of_o his_o pprophecy_n and_o the_o 9_o and_o 10_o verse_n thereof_o when_o he_o say_v gather_v together_o on_o heap_n o_o you_o people_n and_o you_o shall_v be_v break_v to_o piece_n and_o hearken_v you_o of_o far_a country_n gird_v yourselves_o &_o you_o shall_v be_v break_v in_o piece_n gird_v yourselves_o and_o you_o shall_v be_v break_v in_o piece_n take_v counsel_n together_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o nought_o pronounce_v a_o decree_n yet_o shall_v it_o not_o stand_v for_o god_n be_v with_o us._n the_o second_o be_v in_o the_o 33._o psalm_n &_o the_o 10._o &_o 11._o verse_n thereof_o where_o the_o prophet_n david_n say_v the_o lord_n break_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o bring_v to_o nought_o the_o device_n of_o the_o people_n the_o counsel_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v stand_v for_o ever_o and_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o heart_n throughout_o all_o age_n the_o three_o and_o last_o be_v the_o 12._o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n and_o the_o 7._o and_o 8_o verse_n thereof_o where_o john_n say_v and_o there_o be_v a_o battle_n in_o heaven_n michael_n and_o his_o angel_n fight_v against_o the_o dragon_n and_o the_o dragon_n fight_v and_o his_o angel_n but_o they_o prevail_v not_o neither_o be_v their_o place_n find_v any_o more_o in_o heaven_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o nothing_o can_v stand_v against_o the_o lord_n but_o all_o do_v come_v to_o nought_o that_o be_v raise_v up_o against_o he_o and_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v this_o partly_o because_o he_o be_v wise_a than_o all_o see_v which_o way_n to_o prevent_v his_o enemy_n and_o to_o bring_v his_o own_o purpose_n to_o pass_v and_o partly_o because_o he_o be_v strong_a than_o all_o be_v able_a to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v both_o in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n according_a to_o paul_n word_n in_o 1._o cor._n 1.25_o when_o he_o say_v for_o the_o foolishness_n of_o god_n be_v wise_a than_o man_n and_o the_o weakness_n of_o god_n be_v strong_a than_o man_n the_o use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v manifold_a use_v but_o yet_o it_o stand_v chief_o in_o three_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v to_o teach_v we_o what_o shall_v be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o the_o plot_n which_o the_o wicked_a have_v in_o their_o soul_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o such_o as_o do_v cleave_v unto_o he_o they_o shall_v vanish_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o be_v like_a in_o this_o respect_n as_o the_o child_n in_o the_o mother_n womb_n that_o there_o do_v perish_v and_o never_o come_v alone_a into_o this_o world_n or_o like_v unto_o his_o dream_n who_o be_v busy_a all_o the_o night_n in_o his_o sleep_n about_o gold_n and_o rich_a preferment_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o morning_n be_v as_o poor_a as_o when_o he_o go_v to_o bed_n in_o a_o word_n they_o do_v but_o lose_v their_o labour_n as_o he_o do_v who_o go_v about_o by_o wash_v to_o make_v a_o black-moore-white_a or_o by_o teach_v to_o make_v a_o ass_n play_v upon_o a_o harp_n let_v this_o be_v a_o continual_a meditation_n with_o we_o every_o day_n and_o night_n the_o second_o be_v to_o pull_v we_o back_o from_o all_o such_o matter_n as_o do_v tend_v any_o manner_n of_o way_n against_o the_o lord_n for_o let_v we_o assure_v our_o own_o soul_n that_o if_o we_o attempt_v any_o such_o thing_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o good_a success_n therein_o but_o our_o endeavour_n shall_v be_v bring_v to_o nought_o i_o beseech_v you_o remember_v what_o gamaliel_n say_v and_o follow_v his_o counsel_n which_o he_o give_v unto_o the_o jew_n when_o they_o strive_v against_o the_o apostle_n and_o go_v about_o to_o hinder_v all_o preach_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n man_n of_o israel_n say_v he_o take_v heed_n to_o yourselves_o what_o you_o intend_v to_o do_v touch_v these_o man_n refrain_v yourselves_o from_o they_o and_o let_v they_o alone_o for_o if_o this_o counsel_n or_o this_o work_n be_v of_o man_n it_o will_v come_v to_o nought_o but_o if_o it_o be_v of_o god_n you_o can_v destroy_v it_o lest_o you_o be_v find_v even_o sighter_n against_o god_n as_o it_o be_v in_o act_n 5_o 35_o etc._n etc._n but_o some_o may_v say_v object_n none_o of_o we_o be_v so_o beastly_a as_o to_o fight_v against_o the_o lord_n himself_o ans_fw-fr ans_fw-fr let_v no_o man_n be_v deceive_v for_o we_o do_v all_o of_o we_o war_n against_o he_o many_o way_n and_o as_o in_o general_a when_o we_o do_v violate_v and_o break_v his_o statute_n refuse_v to_o do_v that_o which_o he_o have_v command_v we_o for_o to_o do_v so_o in_o particular_a we_o do_v it_o four_o manner_n of_o way_n the_o one_o be_v when_o we_o oppose_v ourselves_o against_o the_o magistrate_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n who_o he_o have_v set_v over_o we_o for_o to_o rule_v &_o govern_v we_o for_o to_o resist_v they_o be_v to_o resist_v god_n himself_o as_o paul_n do_v show_v in_o rom._n 13.1.2_o another_o be_v when_o we_o do_v oppose_v ourselves_o against_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n who_o he_o have_v raise_v up_o to_o teach_v and_o instruct_v us._n for_o to_o resist_v they_o be_v to_o resist_v god_n himself_o as_o christ_n have_v teach_v we_o in_o luke_n 10.16_o the_o three_o be_v when_o we_o do_v oppose_v ourselves_o against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o such_o heavenly_a ordinance_n of_o he_o as_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o man_n for_o his_o own_o worship_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n soul_n for_o to_o resist_v they_o be_v to_o resist_v god_n himself_o as_o gamaliel_n do_v insinuate_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o acts._n before_o quote_v the_o four_o and_o last_o be_v when_o we_o do_v oppose_v ourselves_o against_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o the_o member_n of_o lesus_fw-la christ_n for_o to_o resist_v they_o be_v to_o resist_v god_n himself_o as_o zecharie_n do_v declare_v in_o zech._n 2.8_o all_o these_o way_n do_v man_n in_o every_o place_n almost_o lift_v up_o themselves_o against_o the_o lord_n but_o beware_v we_o that_o we_o join_v not_o with_o they_o therein_o but_o let_v we_o carry_v ourselves_o holy_a and_o reverent_o in_o all_o these_o respect_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v cross_v in_o our_o purpose_n and_o pay_v most_o dear_o for_o it_o at_o the_o last_o the_o three_o and_o last_o be_v to_o comfort_v we_o who_o have_v such_o a_o strong_a and_o wise_a god_n on_o our_o side_n that_o nothing_o can_v prevail_v against_o he_o it_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n unto_o a_o man_n to_o serve_v such_o a_o master_n as_o will_v always_o take_v his_o part_n &_o see_v he_o wrong_v by_o no_o man_n but_o then_o especial_o be_v his_o heart_n exhilerate_v with_o much_o joy_n &_o alacrity_n when_o he_o do_v understand_v that_o none_o be_v able_a to_o make_v his_o part_n good_a with_o his_o master_n but_o he_o do_v always_o prevail_v against_o all_o what_o a_o consolation_n then_o and_o joy_n of_o spirit_n ought_v it_o to_o be_v unto_o we_o see_v our_o master_n &_o lord_n who_o we_o serve_v be_v not_o only_o omnipotent_a in_o himself_o be_v strong_a than_o all_o but_o also_o so_o love_v to_o we_o that_o he_o do_v always_o take_v our_o part_n and_o so_o assist_v we_o from_o time_n to_o time_n that_o we_o shall_v still_o overcome_v our_o foe_n and_o not_o be_v vanquish_v by_o they_o oh_o let_v we_o ponder_v often_o on_o this_o point_n for_o it_o will_v be_v a_o good_a cordial_a medicine_n unto_o we_o in_o all_o disease_n whatsoever_o and_o it_o will_v revive_v we_o like_o aqua_fw-la aquavitae_fw-la or_o rosa_fw-la solis_fw-la when_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o faint_v or_o sink_v hitherto_o you_o have_v hear_v a_o description_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o regard_n of_o that_o which_o his_o enemy_n do_v to_o he_o now_o you_o must_v mark_v how_o he_o be_v describe_v in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o he_o will_v do_v to_o they_o and_o that_o be_v also_o two_o manner_n of_o way_n the_o one_o be_v by_o his_o work_n the_o other_o be_v by_o his_o word_n by_o his_o work_n in_o the_o first_o verse_n and_o by_o his_o word_n in_o the_o fixth_n verse_n his_o work_n contain_v his_o anger_n against_o they_o and_o
that_o god_n be_v a_o patient_a god_n not_o will_v the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o shall_v convert_v and_o live_v so_o much_o do_v paul_n teach_v we_o of_o he_o in_o rom._n 2.4_o say_v despise_v thou_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o bountifulness_n and_o patience_n and_o long_o suffer_v not_o know_v that_o the_o bountifulness_n of_o god_n lead_v thou_o to_o repentance_n so_o much_o do_v peter_n teach_v we_o of_o he_o in_o 2._o pet._n 3.9_o say_v the_o lord_n be_v not_o slack_a concern_v his_o promise_n as_o some_o man_n count_v slackness_n but_o be_v patient_a towards_o we_o and_o will_v have_v no_o man_n to_o perish_v but_o will_v all_o man_n to_o come_v to_o repentance_n so_o much_o do_v joel_n teach_v we_o of_o he_o in_o joel._n 2.13_o say_v and_o rend_v your_o heart_n and_o not_o your_o garment_n and_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n for_o he_o be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a slow_a to_o anger_n and_o of_o great_a kindness_n and_o repent_v he_o of_o the_o evil_n so_o much_o final_o do_v god_n himself_o teach_v we_o of_o himself_o in_o ezech._n 33.11_o say_v as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o that_o the_o wicked_a turn_n from_o his_o way_n and_o live_v but_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o reason_n be_v not_o god_n a_o just_a god_n and_o be_v not_o his_o eye_n pure_a eye_n not_o abide_v to_o behold_v sin_n and_o iniquity_n yes_o why_o then_o do_v he_o not_o strike_v because_o his_o mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n and_o his_o compassion_n fail_v not_o according_a to_o david_n word_n in_o psalm_n 145.9_o and_o the_o prophet_n jeremies_n in_o lament_n 3.2_o for_o as_o the_o one_o of_o they_o do_v extol_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n above_o all_o thing_n so_o the_o other_o of_o they_o do_v declare_v that_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o do_v not_o consume_v we_o according_o as_o our_o sin_n do_v deserve_v wherefore_o learn_v out_o of_o this_o use_v first_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n for_o they_o be_v very_o much_o unlike_o for_o my_o thought_n say_v god_n be_v not_o your_o thought_n neither_o be_v your_o way_n my_o way_n say_v the_o lord_n for_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v high_a than_o the_o earth_n so_o be_v my_o way_n high_a than_o your_o way_n and_o my_o thought_n above_o your_o thought_n esay_n 55.8.9_o if_o treason_n and_o insurrection_n be_v once_o make_v against_o the_o chief_a governor_n of_o any_o land_n the_o party_n offend_v therein_o be_v apprehend_v and_o according_a to_o law_n they_o be_v execute_v as_o traitor_n and_o rebel_n and_o all_o this_o be_v but_o well_o and_o according_a to_o justice_n and_o equity_n without_o which_o no_o commonwealth_n can_v stand_v or_o flourish_v but_o yet_o with_o god_n it_o be_v not_o so_o though_o that_o we_o do_v daily_o make_v insurrection_n against_o he_o and_o commit_v high_a treason_n against_o his_o person_n by_o blaspheme_v his_o holy_a name_n and_o by_o trample_v his_o divine_a statute_n and_o ordinance_n under_o our_o foot_n yet_o he_o do_v spare_v we_o and_o not_o consume_v we_o according_a to_o our_o wicked_a desert_n and_o as_o one_o most_o desirous_a to_o have_v we_o save_v &_o to_o become_v bless_v he_o do_v cry_v unto_o we_o for_o a_o turn_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n oh_o who_o can_v extol_v this_o goodness_n of_o the_o lord_n sufficient_o shall_v we_o rebel_v against_o he_o &_o provoke_v he_o to_o his_o face_n and_o yet_o will_v he_o come_v and_o entreat_v we_o to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o doubtless_o if_o one_o do_v but_o offend_v we_o some_o two_o or_o three_o time_n in_o some_o matter_n that_o do_v concern_v our_o credit_n and_o profit_n so_o that_o we_o grow_v infamous_a or_o poor_a thereby_o we_o can_v never_o sound_o and_o thorough_o endure_v that_o party_n again_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o though_o he_o shall_v come_v unto_o we_o himself_o to_o ask_v we_o forgiveness_n yet_o we_o shall_v hardly_o ever_o receive_v he_o to_o love_n and_o favour_n again_o within_o our_o heart_n so_o close_o will_v his_o wrong_n &_o injury_n cleave_v unto_o us._n we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o samaritan_n refuse_v to_o receive_v christ_n into_o one_o of_o their_o city_n for_o a_o night_n lodging_n james_n and_o john_n two_o of_o his_o disciple_n be_v by_o and_o by_o inflame_v with_o great_a choler_n &_o wrath_n and_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v their_o master_n be_v revenge_v upon_o they_o for_o it_o say_v unto_o he_o after_o this_o sort_n lord_n will_v thou_o that_o we_o command_v that_o fire_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n &_o consume_v they_o even_o as_o eliah_n do_v luke_n 9.54_o but_o as_o for_o our_o god_n we_o see_v here_o how_o patient_a he_o be_v in_o put_v up_o great_a rebellion_n and_o treason_n and_o in_o call_v upon_o the_o rebel_n and_o traitor_n themselves_o for_o amendment_n of_o life_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v save_v learn_v we_o therefore_o in_o the_o next_o place_n that_o though_o we_o do_v sin_n and_o offend_v yet_o there_o be_v mercy_n in_o the_o lord_n to_o forgive_v us._n for_o where_o sin_n do_v abound_v there_o grace_n do_v more_o than_o abound_v say_v the_o apostle_n in_o rom._n 5.20_o david_n do_v speak_v most_o excellent_o of_o this_o matter_n in_o psalm_n 103._o etc._n etc._n say_v the_o lord_n be_v full_a of_o compassion_n and_o mercy_n slow_a to_o anger_n and_o of_o great_a kindness_n he_o have_v not_o deal_v with_o we_o after_o our_o sin_n nor_o reward_v we_o according_a to_o our_o iniquity_n for_o as_o high_a as_o the_o heaven_n be_v above_o the_o earth_n so_o great_a be_v his_o mercy_n towards_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o as_o far_o as_o the_o east_n be_v from_o the_o west_n so_o far_o have_v he_o remove_v our_o sin_n from_o we_o as_o a_o father_n have_v compassion_n on_o his_o child_n so_o have_v the_o lord_n compassion_n on_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o lest_o that_o any_o shall_v doubt_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n mark_v what_o god_n himself_o do_v say_v in_o isay_n 1.18_o come_v now_o say_v he_o and_o let_v we_o reason_n together_o say_v the_o lord_n though_o your_o sin_n be_v as_o crimson_a they_o shall_v be_v make_v as_o white_a as_o snow_n though_o they_o be_v red_a like_o scarlet_n they_o shall_v be_v as_o wool_n and_o sure_o if_o god_n do_v here_o call_v upon_o these_o traitor_n and_o rebel_n to_o forsake_v their_o sin_n with_o a_o intent_n and_o purpose_n to_o save_v they_o if_o they_o will_v so_o do_v then_o may_v you_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o will_v receive_v every_o repent_a sinner_n that_o do_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o forgive_v he_o all_o his_o transgression_n be_v they_o never_o so_o many_o when_o he_o do_v ask_v pardon_n for_o they_o and_o hearty_o forsake_v they_o wherefore_o though_o you_o have_v sin_v great_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o have_v trespass_v even_o against_o heaven_n and_o his_o majesty_n with_o the_o prodigal_a son_n yet_o despair_v not_o but_o with_o the_o prodigal_a son_n return_v unto_o he_o and_o know_v that_o you_o shall_v find_v mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n as_o he_o do_v and_o as_o david_n do_v and_o as_o solomon_n do_v and_o as_o peter_n do_v and_o as_o paul_n do_v and_o as_o many_o more_o beside_o they_o do_v who_o sin_n be_v great_a and_o heinous_a for_o god_n have_v say_v it_o who_o can_v lie_v

a_o time_n to_o give_v repentance_n and_o upon_o repentance_n to_o receive_v to_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o woman_n sing_v concern_v saul_n and_o david_n say_v saul_n have_v slay_v his_o
