i_o let_v israel_n go_v this_o sturdy_n oak_n do_v god_n visit_v with_o judgement_n by_o pour_v out_o of_o his_o plague_n upon_o he_o and_o his_o land_n and_o he_o bring_v down_o his_o pride_n in_o

unto_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o sacrifice_n unto_o their_o god_n they_o do_v god_n deliver_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n by_o a_o strong_a arm_n and_o lead_v through_o the_o red_a sea_n as_o upon_o dry_a land_n make_v the_o water_n stand_v as_o wall_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o on_o the_o left_a and_o thus_o god_n make_v pharach_n a_o example_n to_o all_o that_o after_o shall_v be_v hard-hearted_a and_o refuse_v to_o obey_v the_o lord_n and_o let_v it_o never_o be_v forget_v that_o in_o all_o these_o overthrow_v god_n take_v care_n for_o the_o righteous_a for_o they_o that_o love_v god_n and_o obey_v his_o voice_n and_o rebel_v not_o against_o his_o good_a spirit_n but_o turn_v at_o the_o reproof_n thereof_o who_o sin_v not_o but_o stand_v in_o awe_n as_o namely_o noah_n that_o righteous_a man_n him_z god_n save_v from_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o old_a world_n and_o deliver_v just_a lot_n out_o of_o the_o overthrow_n of_o sodom_n and_o israel_n his_o people_n he_o redeem_v out_o of_o the_o iron-furnace_n and_o deliver_v they_o from_o pharaoh_n that_o oppress_v they_o and_o plead_v their_o cause_n with_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o avenge_v their_o wrong_n upon_o they_o yet_o here_o be_v one_o precedent_n more_o that_o part_n of_o israel_n which_o sin_v and_o obey_v not_o god_n voice_n but_o day_n by_o day_n provoke_v he_o to_o anger_n by_o their_o rebellion_n and_o unbelief_n even_a they_o for_o who_o god_n have_v wrought_v such_o great_a salvation_n god_n overthrow_v in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o cut_v they_o off_o in_o his_o

forty_o year_n to_o bear_v the_o whoredom_n of_o their_o father_n till_o the_o carcase_n of_o their_o father_n be_v consume_v in_o the_o wilderness_n these_o god_n be_v grieve_v and_o displease_v with_o because_o they_o rebel_v against_o his_o good_a spirit_n which_o he_o give_v they_o to_o instruct_v and_o lead_v they_o in_o the_o way_n they_o shall_v go_v and_o this_o be_v not_o all_o but_o he_o swear_v in_o his_o wrath_n they_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n so_o may_v we_o well_o conclude_v with_o the_o apostle_n that_o if_o god_n spare_v not_o the_o angel_n that_o sin_v nor_o the_o old_a world_n that_o sin_v nor_o the_o city_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n that_o sin_v nor_o pharaoh_n and_o his_o host_n that_o sin_v nor_o that_o part_n of_o israel_n that_o sin_v who_o god_n so_o dear_o love_v and_o wrought_v so_o great_a salvation_n for_o but_o make_v they_o example_n for_o all_o that_o after_o shall_v live_v ungodly_a oh_o what_o shall_v be_v the_o end_n of_o those_o that_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o count_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n a_o unholy_a thing_n and_o do_v despite_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o daily_o crucify_v the_o son_n of_o god_n afresh_o spiritual_o by_o their_o ungodly_a life_n and_o ungodly_a conversation_n for_o as_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n so_o whosoever_o sin_v rebel_n against_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o do_v do_v despite_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o as_o he_o that_o despise_v the_o law_n that_o come_v by_o moses_n die_v without_o mercy_n so_o god_n have_v reserve_v a_o great_a punishment_n for_o he_o that_o sin_n wilful_o and_o turn_v not_o at_o god_n reproof_n but_o rebel_n against_o his_o spirit_n set_v at_o nought_o his_o counsel_n
