one_o piece_n of_o scripture_n by_o another_o to_o overthrow_v god_n word_n by_o god_n work_n and_o so_o to_o divide_v god_n against_o god_n as_o satan_n against_o satan_n to_o make_v the_o lord_n say_v a_o thing_n in_o one_o place_n and_o in_o another_o to_o unsay_v it_o and_o final_o to_o draw_v from_o the_o lord_n himself_o a_o dispensation_n and_o liberty_n of_o sin_v that_o so_o what_o he_o require_v in_o so_o many_o place_n of_o his_o law_n he_o shoule_fw-mi release_n and_o cancel_v in_o one_o part_n of_o his_o gospel_n let_v any_o man_n who_o god_n have_v endue_v with_o any_o measure_n of_o sound_a understanding_n judge_v whether_o this_o be_v not_o to_o make_v a_o rent_n in_o the_o lord_n reveal_v will_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v it_o be_v time_n for_o we_o to_o judge_n ourselves_o for_o so_o do_v for_o before_o the_o lord_n will_v endure_v this_o the_o soul_n that_o do_v it_o shall_v be_v rend_v from_o he_o &_o throw_v among_o reprobate_n the_o judgement_n and_o damnation_n of_o these_o disgracer_n of_o god_n and_o depraver_n of_o his_o holy_a word_n sleep_v not_o and_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o shun_v or_o escape_v it_o but_o by_o a_o through_o judge_v of_o yourselves_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o impiety_n which_o if_o they_o do_v not_o who_o mouth_n have_v speak_v it_o and_o who_o mind_n have_v think_v it_o vengeance_n shall_v sure_o overtake_v they_o even_o that_o vengeance_n which_o be_v due_a to_o such_o as_o do_v this_o insufferable_a indignity_n to_o god_n and_o his_o word_n this_o be_v the_o 2._o step_n they_o tread_v who_o follow_v this_o way_n &_o we_o see_v it_o sink_v deep_a than_o the_o former_a towards_o that_o dreadful_a confusion_n which_o can_v be_v avoy_v if_o this_o fearful_a evil_n be_v not_o abandon_v let_v we_o yet_o see_v further_o to_o the_o three_o 3._o the_o produce_v and_o aleadge_v of_o this_o precedent_n of_o the_o thief_n thus_o that_o we_o may_v play_v the_o theive_n with_o god_n and_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o first_o fruit_n do_v breed_v and_o engender_v many_o foul_a falsehood_n and_o vile_a blasphemye_n in_o our_o heart_n he_o that_o propose_v this_o precedent_n for_o his_o apology_n against_o the_o manifest_a light_n of_o truth_n we_o have_v prove_v make_v this_o scripture_n the_o patron_n of_o such_o atheistical_a principle_n as_o be_v to_o be_v abhor_v in_o the_o thought_n of_o every_o

with_o a_o persuasion_n that_o by_o authority_n of_o scripture_n we_o may_v rejourne_v the_o obedience_n that_o long_o since_o we_o owe_v unto_o the_o lord_n whereas_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v clear_o opposite_a hereunto_o god_n call_v for_o nothing_o more_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v then_o the_o first_o and_o condemn_v nothing_o more_o than_o put_v off_o what_o he_o command_v his_o servant_n such_o as_o he_o have_v effectual_o call_v have_v make_v all_o the_o haste_n and_o expedition_n that_o be_v possible_a so_o say_v david_n i_o will_v run_v the_o way_n of_o thy_o commandment_n and_o again_o i_o make_v haste_n and_o delay_v not_o to_o keep_v thy_o righteous_a judgement_n so_o say_v cornelius_n to_o peter_n then_o i_o send_v for_o thou_o jmmediate_o and_o paul_n say_v the_o same_o of_o himself_o jmmediate_o i_o consult_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n etc._n etc._n the_o evidence_n of_o god_n 1.16_o psal_n 119.32.60_o act._n 10.33_o gal._n 1.16_o to_o hasten_v our_o duty_n be_v undeniable_a the_o sin_n of_o not_o do_v so_o be_v in_o excusable_a yet_o by_o these_o man_n argument_n the_o same_o god_n that_o be_v so_o eager_a for_o expedition_n do_v warrant_v our_o delay_n and_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v more_o false_a they_o that_o god_n shall_v abet_v these_o two_o contrary_n evil_n 4_o 2._o it_o do_v patronage_n not_o only_o delay_v but_o presumptuous_a delay_n such_o as_o man_n be_v guilty_a of_o by_o presume_v against_o all_o good_a ground_n they_o shall_v find_v the_o same_o measure_n of_o mercy_n that_o this_o thief_n do_v now_o to_o presume_v of_o pardon_n for_o a_o sin_n of_o presumption_n be_v to_o presume_v of_o more_o favour_n than_o the_o thief_n find_v for_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v his_o sin_n be_v not_o of_o presumption_n but_o either_o of_o mere_a ignorance_n if_o he_o be_v a_o roman_a as_o some_o suppose_v he_o &_o his_o fellow_n to_o be_v or_o of_o gross_a ignorance_n if_o he_o be_v a_o jew._n sure_a it_o be_v he_o know_v not_o christ_n for_o he_o revile_v he_o at_o the_o first_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o and_o must_v you_o by_o his_o example_n presume_v of_o delay_n in_o god_n duty_n which_o he_o never_o mean_v and_o of_o mercy_n for_o presumptuous_a delay_n which_o this_o thief_n never_o find_v shall_v god_n become_v the_o prop_n of_o our_o presumption_n when_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o his_o soul_n hate_n and_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v any_o mercy_n in_o store_n for_o it_o that_o he_o have_v not_o great_a store_n of_o justice_n heap_v up_o scarce_o against_o any_o ungodlynes_n &_o they_o that_o befaulty_a be_v say_v to_o store_n or_o treasure_n up_o wrath_n against_o the_o day_n of_o wrath_n that_o be_v 2.5_o ro._n 2.5_o every_o day_n to_o augment_v enlarge_v and_o add_v unto_o their_o own_o

bethink_v himself_o where_o he_o be_v and_o what_o he_o do_v the_o next_o leap_n may_v be_v into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n especial_o if_o he_o shall_v add_v this_o unto_o all_o that_o he_o will_v father_n such_o offence_n upon_o the_o lord_n allowance_n &_o so_o turn_v his_o extraordinary_a mercy_n into_o extraordinary_a jmpiety_n note_v david_n have_v another_o spirit_n when_o he_o pray_v against_o presumptuous_a sin_n that_o he_o may_v be_v free_a from_o the_o great_a transgression_n &_o do_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n posesse_v these_o woeful_a man_n 19.13_o psa_fw-la 19.13_o they_o will_v sure_o do_v the_o same_o but_o satan_n have_v enough_o even_o all_o that_o he_o will_v have_v to_o make_v they_o build_v their_o presumption_n upon_o god_n because_o he_o be_v that_o by_o so_o do_v he_o shall_v provoke_v god_n against_o they_o to_o abhor_v they_o for_o ever_o but_o let_v we_o look_v yet_o a_o little_a further_o evil_a 5_o 3._o the_o urge_v of_o this_o example_n thus_o do_v loose_v we_o &_o bind_v god_n we_o be_v enlarge_v for_o all_o our_o life_n till_o the_o last_o his_o hand_n be_v tie_v &_o that_o with_o double_a band_n be_v not_o this_o

of_o our_o life_n but_o to_o be_v free_a to_o come_v when_o we_o will_v though_o at_o the_o last_o day_n or_o hour_n or_o instant_n do_v we_o not_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o till_o we_o do_v come_v we_o must_v have_v health_n peace_n food_n and_o all_o other_o favour_n from_o god_n and_o that_o we_o must_v be_v accept_v also_o so_o we_o be_v free_a god_n be_v bind_v we_o be_v free_a from_o duty_n during_o our_o pleasure_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o kindness_n we_o must_v have_v for_o many_o year_n and_o do_v he_o no_o service_n but_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o maintain_v we_o till_o we_o come_v and_o entertain_v we_o when_o we_o come_v and_o be_v it_o not_o fearful_a and_o hideous_a jmpiety_n for_o we_o to_o seek_v to_o enslave_v the_o lord_n to_o our_o sinful_a life_n and_o to_o set_v ourselves_o at_o liberty_n in_o they_o against_o he_o but_o perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v god_n have_v bind_v himself_o say_v at_o what_o time_n soever_o a_o sinner_n shall_v repent_v
