the_o bottom_n be_v they_o be_v weary_a of_o god_n service_n again_o vii_o weariness_n of_o spiritual_a privilege_n that_o be_v to_o be_v enjoy_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n service_n they_o be_v

pay_v so_o dear_a as_o they_o think_v for_o their_o privilege_n that_o they_o be_v weary_a of_o they_o they_o have_v little_a sense_n or_o experience_n of_o the_o worth_n of_o privilege_n but_o feel_v the_o burden_n of_o service_n and_o be_v willing_a so_o they_o may_v be_v discharge_v of_o the_o one_o to_o part_v with_o the_o other_o yea_o they_o be_v full_a of_o their_o mercy_n and_o nauseate_a their_o privilege_n as_o much_o as_o ever_o the_o israthte_n do_v the_o manna_n again_o viii_o weariness_n many_o time_n of_o their_o very_a profession_n of_o service_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n a_o bare_a empty_a profession_n grow_v a_o burden_n to_o they_o especial_o when_o they_o have_v serve_v their_o turn_n of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v grow_v out_o of_o fashion_n in_o the_o world_n they_o repent_v they_o be_v so_o far_o engage_v as_o to_o have_v take_v up_o a_o profession_n and_o will_v desert_n and_o abandon_v it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o shame_n and_o they_o know_v how_o to_o secure_v a_o honourable_a retreat_n as_o they_o never_o have_v experience_v the_o power_n of_o godliness_n so_o they_o grow_v at_o last_o to_o be_v weary_a even_o of_o the_o form_n of_o godliness_n to_o maintain_v a_o name_n to_o live_v and_o keep_v up_o a_o profession_n of_o religion_n require_v more_o labour_n and_o pain_n than_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o bestow_v upon_o it_o but_o thus_o you_o see_v when_o a_o person_n or_o people_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v weary_a of_o god_n the_o second_o question_n shall_v be_v whence_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o a_o person_n or_o people_n be_v weary_a of_o god_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o general_a frame_n of_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n sometime_o but_o this_o will_v require_v a_o very_a large_a discourse_n and_o i_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o some_o other_o opportunity_n use_v 1._o of_o examination_n have_v we_o not_o then_o great_a reason_n to_o examine_v ourselves_o narrow_o and_o impartial_o whether_o we_o be_v not_o such_o a_o people_n as_o be_v weary_a of_o god_n we_o see_v the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v deserve_o charge_v with_o it_o jacob_n and_o israel_n be_v weary_a of_o god_n yea_o many_o church_n in_o new-testament_n time_n on_o who_o more_o of_o light_n grace_n spirit_n be_v shed_v forth_o have_v be_v most_o unworthy_o weary_a of_o the_o bless_a god_n and_o what_o be_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v plead_v any_o privilege_n or_o think_v ourselves_o secure_v from_o such_o a_o sinful_a frame_n of_o spirit_n as_o this_o be_v i_o know_v we_o have_v a_o great_a opinion_n of_o ourselves_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v god_n have_v hardly_o such_o another_o people_n in_o the_o world_n as_o his_o people_n in_o new-england_n hence_o it_o will_v hardly_o sink_v into_o many_o man_n heart_n that_o god_n shall_v leave_v new-england_n and_o give_v up_o his_o people_n and_o interest_n here_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o adversary_n that_o be_v ready_a enough_o to_o stretch_v forth_o their_o hand_n upon_o our_o pleasant_a thing_n we_o be_v prone_a to_o imagine_v the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n here_o be_v too_o good_a to_o be_v destroy_v or_o tread_v down_o by_o any_o foot_n of_o pride_n and_o violence_n but_o i_o wish_v there_o be_v not_o more_o of_o pride_n and_o fancy_n then_o of_o faith_n in_o this_o opinion_n i_o confess_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o very_a glorious_a interest_n among_o we_o but_o it_o be_v very_o little_a behold_v to_o we_o that_o have_v weaken_v and_o disparage_v it_o exceed_o by_o our_o great_a miscarriage_n i_o know_v also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o number_n of_o very_a choice_n people_n among_o we_o very_o dear_a to_o god_n for_o who_o we_o fare_v the_o better_a at_o this_o day_n and_o i_o do_v indeed_o hope_v that_o god_n be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o break_v up_o house_n among_o we_o and_o remove_v from_o we_o very_o loath_a to_o sell_v his_o people_n for_o nought_o when_o he_o be_v not_o like_a to_o increase_v his_o wealth_n by_o their_o price_n psal._n 44._o 12._o yea_o that_o he_o fear_v to_o speak_v in_o his_o own_o language_n deut._n 32._o 27._o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o enemy_n lest_o our_o adversary_n shall_v behave_v themselves_o strange_o and_o say_v our_o hand_n be_v high_a and_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o do_v all_o this_o i_o hope_v the_o lord_n may_v be_v say_v at_o this_o day_n as_o in_o hosea_n 11._o 8_o 9_o how_o shall_v i_o give_v thou_o up_o ob_fw-la new-england_n my_o heart_n be_v turn_v within_o i_o my_o repenting_n be_v kindle_v together_o i_o will_v not_o execute_v the_o
