come_v down_o unto_o you_o have_v great_a wrath_n so_o i_o may_v say_v when_o offence_n arise_v woe_n wo_n to_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o devil_n be_v come_v down_o among_o they_o the_o devil_n hand_n abroad_o offence_n he_o make_v wonderful_a improvement_n of_o they_o they_o be_v his_o weapon_n and_o poison_a arrow_n etc._n etc._n 4_o but_o why_o do_v offence_n fall_v as_o a_o real_a and_o heavy_a judgement_n upon_o the_o world_n reason_n 1._o because_o god_n will_v pour_v out_o his_o wrath_n upon_o the_o obstinate_a sinner_n of_o the_o world_n all_o manner_n of_o way_n he_o make_v the_o word_n a_o vial_n of_o wrath_n to_o they_o their_o mercy_n a_o vial_n of_o wrath_n to_o they_o their_o affliction_n a_o vial_n of_o wrath_n to_o they_o their_o own_o sin_n a_o vial_n of_o wrath_n to_o they_o and_o that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n may_v come_v upon_o they_o to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o be_v pour_v upon_o they_o all_o manner_n of_o way_n even_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n a_o vial_n of_o wrath_n to_o they_o reason_n 2._o because_o by_o these_o they_o may_v fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o iniquity_n god_n have_v a_o measure_n of_o wrath_n fill_v up_o run_v over_o to_o be_v pour_v upon_o the_o ungodly_a of_o the_o world_n one_o day_n and_o they_o have_v a_o measure_n of_o iniquity_n which_o they_o go_v on_o fill_v up_o here_o and_o by_o how_o much_o this_o measure_n of_o iniquity_n be_v fill_v up_o by_o so_o much_o do_v the_o measure_n of_o wrath_n grow_v great_a now_o because_o sinner_n delight_v to_o be_v fill_v up_o this_o measure_n therefore_o they_o shall_v not_o want_v occasion_n but_o even_o god_n himself_o that_o so_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o wrath_n may_v be_v fill_v to_o the_o brim_n will_v lay_v occasion_n before_o they_o by_o leave_v his_o people_n and_o permit_v they_o to_o fall_v that_o so_o the_o sinner_n of_o the_o world_n thereby_o may_v be_v blind_v harden_a make_v more_o notorious_o vile_a and_o so_o have_v the_o measure_n of_o their_o iniquity_n fill_v up_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v observable_a psalm_n 11.6_o that_o god_n rain_v snare_n first_o upon_o the_o wicked_a than_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n and_o a_o horrible_a tempest_n god_n have_v fire_n ay_o but_o first_o god_n will_v rain_v snare_n the_o drunkard_n adulterer_n swearer_n shall_v have_v such_o a_o thing_n lay_v as_o a_o snare_n before_o he_o to_o harden_v he_o make_v he_o more_o vile_a notorious_a incorrigible_a in_o his_o sin_n o_o sinner_n sinner_n take_v heed_n that_o now_o whilst_o god_n be_v rain_v snare_n you_o be_v not_o take_v in_o they_o lest_o god_n fire_n and_o brimstone_n and_o horrible_a tempest_n fall_v upon_o your_o head_n reason_n 3._o because_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o wonderful_a justice_n and_o equity_n that_o when_o offence_n do_v arise_v they_o shall_v fall_v as_o a_o real_a and_o heavy_a judgement_n upon_o the_o world_n why_o why_o because_o the_o world_n without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o dishonour_n that_o god_n suffer_v by_o they_o or_o the_o reproach_n of_o his_o name_n and_o cause_n watch_v for_o offence_n wish_v for_o they_o desire_v they_o rejoice_v in_o they_o publish_v and_o spread_v they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o most_o just_a thing_n with_o god_n that_o when_o they_o come_v they_o shall_v fall_v as_o a_o judgement_n upon_o they_o rather_o than_o any_o this_o be_v that_o they_o will_v have_v and_o therefore_o let_v they_o take_v they_o and_o the_o woe_n of_o they_o drunkard_n swearer_n formal_a professor_n thou_o will_v have_v offence_n arise_v they_o be_v meat_n and_o drink_n to_o thou_o lo_o say_v god_n here_o they_o be_v take_v they_o and_o the_o woe_n of_o they_o for_o it_o be_v thou_o thou_o have_v long_v to_o see_v they_o here_o they_o be_v thou_o shall_v have_v thy_o belly_n full_a of_o they_o in_o the_o end_n reason_n 4._o because_o god_n as_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n so_o also_o in_o the_o very_a rise_n and_o issue_n of_o offence_n will_v put_v a_o manifest_a difference_n betwixt_o his_o own_o child_n and_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n offence_n come_v to_o both_o but_o not_o to_o both_o alike_o offence_n to_o the_o godly_a they_o be_v as_o the_o rod_n of_o a_o father_n for_o correction_n to_o the_o world_n as_o the_o rod_n of_o a_o enemy_n for_o destruction_n to_o the_o godly_a they_o bring_v honey_n in_o the_o tail_n of_o they_o to_o the_o world_n a_o poisonous_a deadly_a sting_n a_o manifest_a difference_n to_o the_o one_o they_o be_v seem_v judgement_n but_o real_a mercy_n to_o the_o other_o they_o be_v seem_v approbation_n of_o their_o way_n and_o course_n but_o real_a judgement_n upon_o their_o person_n soul_n and_o body_n for_o ever_o if_o god_n prevent_v not_o 5_o but_o if_o such_o a_o woe_n come_v upon_o the_o world_n by_o offence_n how_o may_v i_o come_v to_o know_v that_o so_o it_o may_v be_v prevent_v when_o the_o world_n be_v just_o offend_v and_o so_o offend_v as_o thereby_o in_o danger_n of_o this_o dreadful_a woe_n answ_n 1._o the_o world_n be_v just_o offend_v when_o professor_n by_o principle_n which_o they_o hold_v or_o maintain_v do_v put_v out_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v a_o light_n that_o the_o heathen_n have_v rom._n 2._o and_o possible_o a_o mere_a natural_a man_n that_o have_v no_o work_n of_o grace_n upon_o his_o heart_n nor_o savour_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n as_o spiritual_a may_v see_v those_o thing_n that_o this_o light_n direct_v too_o as_o clear_o as_o christian_n for_o though_o

shall_v do_v now_o when_o professor_n maintain_v principle_n contrary_a to_o this_o light_n the_o world_n who_o have_v the_o light_n and_o see_v by_o it_o and_o so_o far_o as_o they_o see_v you_o must_v give_v they_o leave_v to_o know_v be_v just_o offend_v and_o can_v tell_v they_o to_o their_o tooth_n their_o principle_n be_v a_o lie_n and_o themselves_o a_o company_n of_o liar_n and_o deceiver_n as_o to_o instance_n suppose_v a_o professor_n have_v such_o a_o principle_n that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n but_o only_o that_o god_n that_o be_v within_o him_z a_o wicked_a man_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v tell_v such_o a_o loose_a professor_n such_o a_o atheist_n i_o shall_v say_v that_o his_o principle_n be_v a_o lie_n and_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n for_o when_o he_o behold_v the_o creature_n and_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n dictate_v to_o he_o that_o he_o can_v never_o make_v it_o and_o that_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o

of_o prayer_n etc._n etc._n worship_v god_n in_o such_o a_o way_n the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v tell_v he_o that_o it_o be_v a_o lie_n for_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n teach_v this_o that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v serve_v call_v upon_o again_o if_o a_o man_n a_o profess_v man_n one_o that_o seem_v to_o hold_v such_o a_o principle_n that_o i_o need_v make_v no_o conscience_n of_o any_o sin_n or_o action_n whatsoever_o i_o may_v be_v drink_v or_o murder_v my_o neighbour_n lie_v with_o his_o wife_n the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v teach_v such_o a_o one_o that_o this_o

their_o principle_n extinguish_v and_o blot_v out_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n then_o be_v the_o world_n just_o offend_v second_o when_o professor_n in_o their_o practice_n swerve_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o morality_n the_o moral_a law_n be_v write_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o adam_n before_o his_o fall_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o every_o man_n so_o that_o by_o this_o man_n of_o the_o world_n be_v able_a to_o pass_v a_o judgement_n upon_o moral_a act_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a though_o wicked_a man_n can_v judge_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o godly_a nor_o of_o his_o work_n as_o they_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o faith_n yet_o they_o can_v judge_v of_o his_o morality_n and_o of_o his_o act_n as_o they_o be_v moral_a act_n now_o when_o man_n of_o the_o world_n see_v professor_n break_v the_o pale_n and_o bond_n of_o morality_n and_o transgress_v these_o rule_n they_o be_v just_o offend_v and_o know_v that_o they_o do_v evil_a
and_o from_o such_o consideration_n they_o be_v to_o repent_v so_o that_o the_o gospel_n come_v first_o before_o the_o word_n of_o repentance_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o they_o as_o they_o be_v

forty_o first_o verse_n and_o fifty_o first_o verse_n a_o thing_n very_o remarkable_a to_o show_v we_o that_o he_o will_v not_o lose_v one_o day_n have_v god_n set_v a_o time_n to_o bring_v a_o

therefore_o will_v the_o lord_n wait_v that_o he_o may_v be_v gracious_a unto_o you_o wait_v upon_o he_o the_o lord_n wait_v to_o be_v gracious_a do_v you_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n bless_a be_v all_o they_o that_o wait_v for_o he_o but_o then_o consider_v last_o that_o so_o long_o as_o you_o do_v by_o faith_n wait_v upon_o god_n f●r_v a_o mercy_n though_o that_o mercy_n shall_v never_o

and_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o come_v and_o therefore_o i_o can_v wait_v i_o have_v be_v wait_v so_o long_o and_o i_o can_v wait_v no_o long_o it_o may_v be_v so_o it_o may_v be_v you_o have_v be_v a_o
