god_n deal_n with_o his_o saint_n and_o with_o his_o son_n when_o god_n come_v to_o deliver_v his_o people_n these_o that_o he_o have_v relation_n to_o where_o he_o have_v some_o of_o his_o saint_n and_o for_o their_o sake_n he_o speak_v this_o he_o say_v how_o shall_v i_o deliver_v thou_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o god_n say_v so_o concern_v his_o son_n god_n do_v deliver_v up_o his_o son_n unto_o wrath_n without_o a_o how_o shall_v i_o do_v it_o yea_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n be_v in_o it_o there_o be_v no_o such_o expression_n of_o reluctancy_n about_o this_o work_n but_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o it_o please_v god_n to_o bruise_v he_o it_o please_v he_o well_o it_o be_v a_o act_n that_o please_v god_n to_o bruise_v his_o son_n indeed_o it_o be_v for_o glorious_a end_n that_o he_o have_v in_o it_o why_o so_o god_n may_v have_v end_n enough_o for_o to_o bring_v forth_o his_o glory_n in_o our_o bruise_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o any_o end_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v about_o he_o say_v how_o shall_v i_o do_v it_o god_n do_v not_o delight_n to_o grieve_v the_o child_n of_o man_n but_o god_n do_v grieve_v his_o son_n he_o bruise_v he_o and_o it_o please_v he_o to_o bruise_v he_o you_o shall_v find_v such_o a_o expression_n in_o isa_n 53._o and_o in_o psal_n 40._o in_o the_o volumn_n 53._o of_o the_o book_n it_o be_v write_v of_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v do_v thy_o will_n it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o christ_n shall_v come_v and_o suffer_v what_o he_o do_v when_o ephraim_n be_v bemoan_v himself_o gód_v bowel_n be_v trouble_v within_o he_o he_o do_v let_v the_o rod_n fall_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n in_o jer._n 31._o 19_o 20._o when_o ephraim_n 20_o be_v bemoan_v himself_o mark_v how_o god_n bowel_n there_o work_n but_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n do_v not_o spare_v his_o son_n god_n will_v spare_v ephraim_n jesus_n christ_n do_v bemoan_v himself_o when_o he_o cry_v out_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o and_o oh_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o oh_o what_o a_o bemoan_v of_o himself_o be_v this_o and_o yet_o in_o rome_n 8._o 32._o god_n spare_v not_o his_o own_o son_n he_o do_v not_o spare_v 32._o he_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o moan_n that_o he_o make_v unto_o he_o but_o he_o deliver_v he_o up_o here_o we_o read_v of_o the_o repenting_n of_o god_n that_o be_v kindle_v and_o divers_a time_n in_o scripture_n of_o god_n repent_v of_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n upon_o sinner_n but_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o chest_n i_o have_v make_v he_o a_o priest_n for_o ever_o that_o be_v so_o as_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o sacrifice_n both_o the_o priest_n to_o offer_v and_o the_o sacrifice_n its_o self_n in_o heb._n 7._o 21._o the_o lord_n swear_v and_o will_v not_o repent_v oh_o certain_o it_o be_v from_o this_o work_n of_o god_n the_o deliver_v up_o of_o his_o son_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v such_o work_n of_o bowel_n towards_o sinner_n when_o wrath_n come_v to_o be_v execute_v to_o say_v how_o shall_v i_o give_v thou_o up_o yet_o further_o if_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n do_v thus_o work_v towards_o sinner_n when_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v give_v up_o yea_o towards_o those_o that_o be_v very_o evil_a for_o so_o these_o be_v their_o heart_n bend_v to_o backslide_n hence_o than_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o walk_v close_o with_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o secure_a if_o the_o lord_n deal_v thus_o with_o rebellious_a 11._o son_n what_o will_v he_o do_v with_o a_o son_n that_o serve_v he_o that_o walk_v close_o with_o he_o though_o a_o son_n very_o vile_a very_o sinful_a yet_o there_o be_v a_o how_o shall_v i_o give_v thou_o up_o oh_o then_o thou_o who_o conscience_n witness_n of_o thy_o sincere_a endeavour_n in_o walk_v close_o with_o god_n continual_o know_v that_o thy_o estate_n must_v needs_o be_v secure_a yea_o further_o if_o this_o be_v so_o sure_o whensoever_o god_n deliver_v 12._o up_o his_o own_o people_n to_o any_o judgement_n there_o be_v some_o great_a matter_n in_o it_o some_o great_a matter_n in_o it_o for_o never_o do_v any_o affliction_n come_v unto_o they_o but_o it_o break_v through_o many_o reason_n of_o god_n heart_n god_n intend_v some_o great_a matter_n do_v judgement_n begin_v at_o the_o house_n of_o god_n it_o be_v because_o the_o lord_n have_v some_o great_a intent_n to_o bring_v forth_o it_o be_v not_o because_o the_o lord_n take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o moan_n of_o his_o people_n in_o the_o sorrow_n and_o suffering_n of_o his_o servant_n but_o it_o be_v because_o he_o intend_v some_o great_a thing_n for_o certain_o these_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n will_v not_o let_v such_o sore_a and_o grievous_a evil_n pass_v if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o great_a end_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n to_o bring_v about_o and_o yet_o further_o hence_o observe_v the_o difference_n between_o 13._o the_o day_n of_o patience_n and_o the_o time_n of_o wrath_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o that_o be_v godly_a here_o god_n patience_n speak_v thus_o towards_o the_o body_n of_o the_o people_n and_o so_o be_v patient_a and_o long-suffering_a towards_o they_o there_o be_v a_o time_n that_o god_n wile_n laugh_v at_o the_o destruction_n of_o sinner_n and_o he_o will_v mock_v when_o their_o fear_n come_v when_o he_o will_v execute_v his_o wrath_n and_o be_v comfort_v as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v there_o be_v a_o time_n indeed_o when_o god_n say_v how_o shall_v i_o give_v they_o up_o but_o there_o be_v another_o time_n wherein_o god_n do_v give_v forth_o the_o wine_n of_o his_o wrath_n the_o wine_n it_o do_v delight_v the_o lord_n as_o wine_n do_v unto_o a_o man_n when_o indignation_n shall_v illustrate_v be_v as_o wine_n to_o god_n than_o mercy_n and_o patience_n shall_v hold_v their_o peace_n for_o they_o have_v then_o their_o glory_n already_o they_o will_v never_o speak_v more_o but_o turn_v over_o the_o sinner_n unto_o justice_n yea_o plead_v unto_o justice_n against_o the_o sinner_n and_o then_o last_o see_v that_o god_n come_v off_o thus_o when_o he_o 14._o be_v about_o the_o let_v out_o of_o wrath_n make_v such_o stop_v as_o he_o do_v then_o sure_o we_o shall_v not_o hasten_v judgement_n against_o ourselves_o but_o let_v we_o make_v use_n of_o these_o deal_n of_o god_n for_o the_o break_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o cause_v they_o to_o return_v unto_o he_o let_v not_o we_o assist_v justice_n
