and_o i_o will_v gather_v all_o nation_n and_o bring_v they_o down_o to_o the_o valley_n of_o jehoshaphat_n and_o will_v please_v there_o for_o my_o people_n and_o for_o my_o heritage_n israel_n who_o they_o have_v scatter_v among_o the_o nation_n behold_v i_o will_v raise_v they_o out_o of_o the_o place_n whether_o you_o have_v sell_v they_o so_o shall_v you_o know_v that_o i_o be_o the_o lord_n dwell_v in_o zion_n my_o holy_a mountain_n then_o shall_v jerusalem_n be_v holy_a prove_v the_o return_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n captivity_n prove_v and_o there_o shall_v no_o stranger_n pass_v

upon_o their_o head_n they_o shall_v obtain_v joy_n and_o gladness_n and_o sorrow_n and_o mourning_n shall_v flee_v away_o thus_o we_o may_v see_v that_o jerusalem_n be_v yet_o to_o be_v the_o

chap_n 37_o 38._o 39_o and_o isa_n 11.12_o and_o 65._o and_o 66._o read_v the_o 68_o psalm_n and_o psal_n 102._o and_o 122._o read_v jer._n 30._o and_o 31._o read_v joel_n chap._n 2._o and_o 3._o read_v zeph._n 3._o read_v zach._n 12._o and_o 14._o mal._n 3._o these_o and_z many_o more_o scripture_n do_v show_v plain_o that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n shall_v turn_v from_o their_o captivity_n into_o their_o own_o land_n and_o also_o take_v notice_n that_o these_o scripture_n speak_v not_o of_o judah_n captivity_n viz._n that_o of_o the_o seventy_o year_n and_o the_o like_a from_o which_o they_o have_v return_v and_o yet_o for_o their_o sin_n be_v go_v to_o captivity_n again_o but_o this_o be_v the_o return_v not_o only_o of_o judah_n but_o also_o of_o israel_n

plain_o say_v when_o i_o shall_v bring_v their_o captivity_n the_o captivity_n of_o sodom_n and_o her_o daughter_n and_o the_o captivity_n of_o samaria_n and_o her_o daughter_n then_o will_v i_o

you_o conclude_v that_o sodom_n and_o her_o daughter_n shall_v never_o return_v and_o so_o consequent_o judah_n and_o her_o daughter_n shall_v never_o return_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o this_o text_n seem_v to_o be_v your_o strong_a hold_n yet_o you_o shall_v see_v this_o text_n will_v fight_v against_o you_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o shall_v show_v who_o they_o be_v that_o be_v call_v the_o daughter_n of_o sodom_n and_o second_o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o sodom_n and_o her_o daughter_n shall_v return_v to_o their_o former_a estate_n and_o if_o so_o than_o you_o may_v blush_v for_o shame_n to_o say_v that_o judah_n shall_v never_o return_v and_o so_o to_o the_o first_o which_o be_v to_o show_v what_o people_n be_v call_v the_o daughter_n of_o sodom_n the_o which_o we_o find_v to_o be_v the_o moabite_n and_o the_o ammonite_n 19_o gen._n 19_o for_o when_o the_o lord_n overthrow_v the_o city_n of_o the_o plain_a there_o be_v none_o do_v

therefore_o lot_n daughter_n consult_v to_o make_v their_o father_n drink_v that_o they_o may_v bear_v seed_n by_o he_o 19.31_o gen._n 19.31_o for_o say_v they_o our_o father_n be_v old_a and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o earth_n to_o come_v into_o we_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n imply_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v in_o order_n to_o distinguish_v the_o

we_o etc._n etc._n upon_o which_o we_o find_v they_o make_v their_o father_n drink_v with_o wine_n estate_n it_o be_v prove_v that_o sodom_n and_o her_o daughter_n shall_v return_v to_o their_o

of_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o captivity_n will_v be_v too_o large_a to_o discourse_v of_o only_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o prophet_n amo●_n in_o short_a show_v we_o the_o reason_n for_o you_o may_v mind_v the_o lord_n do_v forbid_v israel_n from_o do_v moab_n and_o ammon_n any_o wrong_n when_o they_o pass_v by_o to_o destroy_v the_o nation_n for_o as_o ezekiel_n say_v 19_o ezek._n 16._o deut._n 29_o 19_o they_o be_v brethren_n to_o israel_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n suffer_v israel_n as_o aforesaid_a to_o do_v they_o no_o hurt_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o lord_n give_v they_o captive_a into_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o enemy_n from_o whence_o also_o they_o shall_v return_v 13._o amos_n 1_o 13._o as_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o and_o the_o reason_n that_o amos_n render_v why_o god_n do_v give_v they_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o enemy_n be_v because_o say_v he_o for_o three_o transgression_n of_o the_o child_n of_o ammon_n 1.2_o chp._n 1.2_o and_o for_o four_o i_o will_v not_o turn_v away_o the_o punishment_n thereof_o because_o they_o have_v rip_v up_o the_o woman_n with_o child_n of_o gilead_n that_o they_o may_v enlarge_v their_o border_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n 27._o 2_o king_n 3.26_o 27._o for_o three_o transgression_n and_o for_o four_o of_o moab_n i_o will_v not_o turn_v away_o the_o punishment_n thereof_o because_o he_o burn_v the_o bone_n of_o the_o king_n of_o edom_n into_o lime_n the_o which_o cruel_a act_n be_v record_v in_o the_o second_o book_n of_o king_n and_o also_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o captivity_n the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n speak_v large_o of_o but_o i_o shall_v come_v now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o prove_v that_o they_o viz._n the_o daughter_n of_o sodom_n shall_v return_v out_o of_o captivity_n and_o that_o also_o the_o earth_n viz._n the_o place_n of_o sodom_n shall_v be_v restore_v and_o then_o i_o have_v full_o prove_v the_o matter_n and_o that_o the_o place_n of_o sodom_n shall_v be_v restore_v be_v clear_a because_o the_o whole_a creation_n that_o be_v make_v subject_a to_o
return_v to_o their_o own_o land_n only_o the_o dry_n up_o of_o the_o river_n may_v be_v a_o little_a the_o precedent_a work_n as_o if_o time_n will_v give_v leave_n i_o will_v show_v you_o and_o that_o the_o gather_n of_o the_o disperse_v of_o israel_n and_o bring_v they_o into_o their_o own_o land_n will_v be_v full_o effect_v under_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o seven_o trumpet_n which_o by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n be_v call_v the_o great_a trumpet_n because_o under_o his_o sound_n great_a thing_n will_v be_v effect_v than_o under_o any_o of_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o other_o six_o trumpet_n and_o therefore_o see_v what_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v 13._o isa_n 27.12_o 13._o which_o be_v as_o follow_v and_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o that_o day_n that_o the_o lord_n

i_o come_v now_o to_o show_v what_o will_v be_v the_o three_o thing_n effect_v at_o that_o time_n which_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n shall_v become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o

have_v destroy_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n long_o before_o for_o their_o rebellion_n but_o for_o these_o two_o cause_n god_n do_v suffer_v long_o the_o first_o be_v because_o he_o will_v make_v

so_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o sin_n and_o cherish_n of_o it_o fit_v we_o for_o destruction_n and_o thus_o one_o part_n of_o israel_n be_v fit_v for_o destruction_n by_o their_o

he_o do_v deliver_v they_o although_o he_o have_v say_v he_o will_v deliver_v they_o no_o more_o as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 32._o and_o 33._o verse_n of_o the_o 12._o chapter_n and_o thus_o for_o want_v of_o knowledge_n not_o ignorance_n in_o the_o scripture_n you_o may_v see_v how_o the_o eye_n of_o your_o understanding_n be_v darken_v so_o as_o you_o can_v see_v as_o it_o be_v at_o

it_o be_v from_o the_o false_a church_n and_o presbyter_n as_o the_o lord_n b●shop_n and_o so_o consequent_o from_o the_o pope_n for_o what_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v and_o believe_v in_o

have_v for_o a_o long_a time_n so_o stand_v be_v not_o christ_n minister_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o person_n qualification_n ordain_v and_o second_o the_o person_n qualification_n ordain_v

appointment_n and_o fi●st_o we_o may_v consider_v his_o ordination_n or_o appointment_n whence_o it_o be_v whether_o by_o a_o true_a presbyter_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v from_o a_o false_a to_o which_o i_o say_v of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v a_o false_a for_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o pope_n gregory_n the_o great_a or_o the_o like_a it_o be_v plain_a it_o be_v not_o from_o a_o true_a

second_o to_o his_o qualification_n as_o touch_v his_o good_a manner_n in_o life_n and_o conversation_n all_o england_n know_v that_o know_v any_o thing_n that_o he_o be_v of_o such_o a_o evil_a

from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o when_o god_n have_v give_v any_o man_n his_o spirit_n so_o as_o to_o qualify_v he_o for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o the_o church_n elect_v he_o
