though_o offend_v god_n in_o their_o sacrament-sin_n because_o the_o apostle_n add_v verse_n 32._o when_o we_o be_v judge_v we_o be_v chastened_a of_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v condemn_v with_o the_o world_n this_o then_o be_v lay_v for_o a_o foundation_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o god_n judge_v his_o own_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n now_o this_o word_n judgement_n do_v imply_v that_o god_n be_v not_o only_o a_o father_n to_o his_o people_n but_o a_o judge_n also_o a_o fatherly_a judge_n so_o that_o although_o as_o a_o father_n he_o be_v merciful_a and_o pitiful_a yet_o as_o a_o judge_n he_o be_v severe_a and_o will_v chastise_v for_o sin_n this_o be_v notable_o express_v 1_o john_n 2.12_o if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n though_o he_o be_v a_o father_n yet_o we_o need_v a_o advocate_n upon_o our_o sin_v even_o the_o lord_n christ_n though_o he_o be_v a_o tender_a father_n yet_o a_o holy_a judge_n also_o and_o therefore_o do_v god_n assume_v to_o himself_o such_o temper_a relation_n that_o his_o people_n may_v have_v such_o a_o temper_a and_o qualify_v frame_n of_o heart_n that_o they_o may_v rejoice_v with_o tremble_a that_o they_o may_v love_v with_o reverence_n that_o though_o they_o call_v on_o he_o as_o a_o father_n yet_o because_o he_o be_v such_o a_o father_n they_o be_v to_o pass_v the_o time_n of_o their_o sojourn_v here_o in_o fear_n 1_o pet._n 1.17_o therefore_o observe_v what_o the_o apostle_n add_v if_o you_o call_v he_o father_n who_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n judge_v every_o man_n if_o david_n though_o a_o man_n after_o his_o own_o heart_n if_o solomon_n though_o belove_v of_o the_o lord_n do_v sin_n against_o he_o he_o will_v chasten_v they_o and_o make_v they_o feel_v the_o bitterness_n of_o their_o fin_n as_o well_o as_o other_o although_o always_o their_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o affliction_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o godly_a for_o their_o sin_n and_o those_o which_o be_v upon_o the_o wicked_a the_o wo●d_n then_o in_o the_o text_n do_v suppose_v a_o real_a anger_n and_o just_a displeasure_n in_o god_n against_o his_o own_o people_n when_o they_o offend_v for_o to_o judge_n be_v more_o than_o to_o chasten_v to_o chasten_v be_v common_o make_v the_o action_n of_o a_o father_n but_o to_o judge_v and_o to_o punish_v the_o act_n of_o a_o judge_n yet_o this_o latter_a god_n do_v to_o his_o offend_a people_n whether_o it_o be_v punishment_n proper_o so_o take_v be_v afterward_o to_o be_v speak_v unto_o we_o have_v the_o

the_o word_n judgement_n even_o as_o to_o judge_v be_v use_v in_o several_a sense_n in_o the_o scripture_n sometime_o for_o that_o strict_a justice_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o sin_n to_o punish_v it_o according_a to_o the_o utmost_a desert_n of_o it_o against_o this_o david_n though_o a_o godly_a and_o justify_v man_n do_v earnest_o deprecate_v psal_n 143.2_o enter_v

in_o this_o judgement_n if_o god_n be_v only_o as_o a_o judge_n and_o not_o a_o father_n likewise_o we_o be_v all_o damn_a man_n but_o at_o other_o time_n judgement_n be_v use_v for_o mercy_n and_o moderation_n opposite_a to_o anger_n as_o jer._n 10.24_o o_o lord_n correct_v i_o but_o with_o judgement_n not_o in_o thy_o anger_n that_o be_v in_o moderation_n let_v my_o affliction_n be_v

let_v it_o not_o be_v in_o thy_o anger_n and_o hot_a displeasure_n for_o who_o can_v endure_v under_o that_o but_o in_o my_o text_n to_o judge_v and_o judgement_n be_v not_o take_v for_o moderation_n
