not_o thy_o heart_n be_v hasty_a to_o utter_v any_o thing_n before_o god_n and_o let_v thy_o word_n be_v few_o three_o the_o reason_n and_o ground_n of_o all_o for_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o thou_o upon_o earth_n 14.2_o 1_o errrour_n in_o the_o defect_n of_o religious_a duty_n and_o devotion_n 1._o folly_n in_o not_o offer_v psal_n 14.2_o in_o the_o word_n before_o you_o hear_v of_o the_o offering_n of_o fool_n so_o a_o offering_n they_o have_v yet_o there_o be_v a_o fool_n that_o have_v say_v in_o his_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o god_n psal_n 14.2_o doubtless_o where_o no_o god_n no_o offering_n folly_n in_o the_o high_a kind_n yet_o such_o be_v rather_o madman_n than_o fool_n yea_o beast_n rather_o than_o man_n yet_o beast_n the_o worst_a and_o wild_a the_o lion_n do_v seek_v their_o meat_n of_o god_n psal_n 104.21_o 104.21_o psal_n 104.21_o so_o they_o acknowledge_v god_n yea_o they_o serve_v he_o they_o continue_v this_o day_n according_a to_o thy_o ordinance_n for_o all_o thing_n serve_v thou_o psal_n 119.91_o 119.91_o psal_n 119.91_o therefore_o they_o be_v nor_o man_n nor_o beast_n but_o devil_n nay_o the_o very_a devil_n also_o believe_v and_o tremble_v jam._n 2.19_o 2.19_o james_n 2.19_o as_o s._n john_n say_v of_o cerinthus_n so_o we_o of_o they_o they_o be_v the_o devil_n firstborn_a worse_o than_o their_o father_n not_o cain_n not_o saul_n not_o judas_n so_o bad_a as_o they_o for_o judas_n be_v among_o the_o apostle_n saul_n among_o the_o prophet_n cain_n even_o among_o the_o offerer_n yea_o the_o first_o of_o they_o gen._n 4.3_o 4.3_o gen._n 4.3_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o reason_n where_o the_o principle_n be_v deny_v no_o argue_v where_o the_o foundation_n be_v raze_v no_o build_n where_o the_o fire_n and_o every_o spark_n of_o grace_n be_v quite_o put_v out_o no_o hope_n of_o any_o burn_a offering_n therefore_o my_o text_n omit_v they_o only_o it_o speak_v and_o i_o with_o it_o of_o offerer_n and_o folly_n in_o offering_n but_o here_o again_o what_o offer_v offer_v 2_o false_a and_o undue_a sacrifice_n or_o offer_v be_v it_o any_o burn_v offer_v or_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n as_o of_o old_a among_o the_o jew_n the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n no_o such_o matter_n those_o be_v but_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o until_o christ_n but_o to_o dream_v any_o long_o of_o these_o now_o be_v such_o a_o folly_n that_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o guilty_a off_o they_o do_v not_o they_o dare_v not_o acknowledge_v they_o now_o they_o well_o know_v the_o commandment_n and_o the_o place_n for_o those_o sacrifice_n his_o temple_n only_o deut._n 12._o etc._n deut._n 12.5.13_o 14_o etc._n etc._n therefore_o with_o the_o temple_n down_o go_v their_o bloody_a sacrifice_n even_o one_o thousand_o and_o six_o hundred_o year_n since_o now_o they_o have_v no_o other_o sacrifice_n as_o i_o show_v the_o last_o time_n but_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o prayer_n hos_n 14._o 2._o hos_fw-la 14.1_o 2._o nay_o they_o plain_o

there_o be_v also_o and_o a_o prime_a folly_n it_o be_v of_o which_o we_o be_v guilty_a that_o we_o use_v they_o not_o namely_o eye_n lift_v up_o to_o god_n in_o heaven_n so_o david_n psal_n 123._o
