put_v authority_n or_o terror_n into_o his_o word_n to_o stuff_v they_o full_a of_o the_o sin_n of_o swear_v wise._n you_o say_v right_a else_o as_o i_o be_o persuade_v man_n will_v not_o so_o usual_o

concern_v about_o atten._n i_o perceive_v by_o the_o prophet_n that_o a_o man_n may_v sin_v in_o swear_v to_o a_o truth_n they_o therefore_o must_v needs_o most_o horrible_o sin_v that_o swear_v to_o

god_n to_o witness_v and_o to_o swear_v to_o a_o lie_n be_v to_o call_v god_n to_o witness_v that_o that_o lie_n be_v true_a this_o therefore_o must_v needs_o offend_v for_o it_o put_v the_o high_a affront_n upon_o the_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n of_o god_n 3._o therefore_o his_o wrath_n must_v sweep_v they_o away_o this_o kind_n of_o swear_v be_v put_v in_o with_o lie_v ●_o and_o kill_v 3._o and_o steal_v and_o commit_v adultery_n and_o therefore_o must_v not_o go_v unpunished_a for_o if_o god_n will_v not_o hold_v he_o guiltless_a that_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a which_o a_o man_n may_v do_v when_o he_o swear_v to_o a_o truth_n as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o how_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o he_o shall_v hold_v such_o guiltless_a who_o by_o swear_v will_v appeal_v to_o god_n if_o lie_v be_v not_o true_a or_o that_o swear_v out_o of_o their_o frantic_a and_o bedlam_n madness_n it_o will_v grieve_v and_o provoke_v a_o sober_a man_n to_o wrath_n if_o one_o shall_v swear_v to_o a_o notorious_a lie_n and_o avouch_v that_o that_o man_n will_v attest_v it_o for_o a_o truth_n and_o yet_o thus_o do_v man_n deal_v with_o the_o holy_a god_n they_o tell_v their_o

be_v a_o hunger_a or_o to_o go_v to_o bed_v when_o it_o be_v night_n atten._n i_o have_v often_o muse_v in_o my_o mind_n what_o it_o shall_v be_v that_o shall_v make_v man_n so_o common_a in_o the_o

be_v sure_a because_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v abominable_a swear_v 1._o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v from_o the_o prompting_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n within_o they_o 2._o also_o

that_o dare_a boldness_n that_o bid_v defiance_n to_o the_o law_n that_o forbid_v it_o 4._o swearer_n think_v also_o that_o by_o their_o belch_n of_o their_o blasphemous_a oath_n out_o of_o their_o

and_o when_o they_o meet_v with_o fool_n they_o overcome_v they_o this_o way_n but_o if_o i_o may_v give_v advice_n in_o this_o matter_n no_o buyer_n shall_v lay_v out_o one_o farthing_n with_o he_o

his_o chapman_n money_n into_o his_o own_o pocket_n atten._n all_o these_o cause_n of_o swear_v so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v perceive_v flow_v from_o the_o same_o root_n as_o do_v the_o oath_n themselves_o even_o from_o a_o harden_a and_o desperate_a heart_n but_o pray_v show_v i_o no●_n how_o wicked_a curse_v be_v to_o be_v distinguish_v from_o this_o kind_n of_o swear_v wise_a swear_v swear_v as_o i_o say_v have_v immediate_o to_o do_v with_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o it_o call_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v witness_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o be_v say_v that_o be_v if_o they_o

of_o a_o damnable_a state_n wise._n so_o it_o be_v therefore_o when_o god_n will_v show_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o anger_n against_o sin_n and_o sinner_n in_o one_o word_n he_o say_v they_o be_v

be_v three_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o from_o these_o word_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o conversion_n to_o god_n where_o the_o eye_n be_v darken_v and_o the_o heart_n harden_v the_o eye_n must_v first_o be_v make_v to_o see_v and_o the_o heart_n to_o break_v and_o relent_v under_o and_o for_o sin_n or_o else_o there_o can_v be_v no_o conversion_n he_o have_v blind_v their_o eye_n and_o harden_v their_o heart_n lest_o they_o shall_v see_v and_o understand_v and_o so_o be_v convert_v and_o this_o be_v clear_o mr._n badmans_n case_n he_o live_v a_o wicked_a life_n and_o also_o die_v with_o his_o eye_n shut_v and_o heart_n harden_v as_o be_v manifest_a in_o that_o a_o sinful_a life_n be_v join_v with_o a_o quiet_a death_n and_o all_o for_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v convert_v but_o partake_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o sinful_a life_n in_o hell_n fire_n 2._o the_o second_o thing_n that_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o from_o these_o word_n be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o dispensation_n and_o manifestation_n of_o god_n anger_n against_o a_o man_n for_o his_o sin_n when_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o man_n i_o mean_v when_o he_o be_v so_o angry_a with_o they_o this_o among_o many_o be_v one_o of_o the_o judgement_n that_o he_o give_v they_o up_o unto_o to_o wit_n to_o blindness_n of_o mind_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n which_o he_o also_o suffer_v to_o accompany_v they_o till_o they_o enter_v in_o at_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n and_o then_o and_o there_o and_o not_o short_a of_o then_o and_o there_o their_o eye_n come_v to_o be_v open_v hence_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o rich_a man_n mention_v in_o luke_n he_o die_v and_o in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n 22._o imply_v that_o he_o do_v not_o lift_v they_o up_o before_o he_o neither_o see_v what_o he_o have_v do_v nor_o whither_o he_o be_v go_v till_o he_o come_v to_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n even_o into_o hell_n he_o die_v asleep_a in_o his_o soul_n he_o die_v besot_v stupefy_v and_o so_o consequent_o for_o quietness_n like_o a_o child_n or_o lamb_n even_o as_o mr._n badman_n do_v this_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o god_n anger_n he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o damn_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o let_v he_o see_v nor_o have_v a_o heart_n to_o repent_v for_o they_o lest_o he_o shall_v convert_v and_o his_o damnation_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v shall_v be_v frustrate_a lest_o they_o shall_v be_v convert_v and_o i_o shall_v heal_v they_o 3._o the_o three_o thing_n that_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o from_o hence_o be_v that_o a_o sinful_a life_n and_o a_o quiet_a death_n annex_v to_o it_o be_v the_o ready_a the_o open_a the_o beat_a the_o common_a highway_n to_o hell_n there_o be_v no_o sure_a sign_n of_o

sin_n and_o fear_n of_o hell_n do_v therefore_o go_v to_o heaven_n for_o some_o be_v also_o make_v to_o see_v and_o be_v leave_v to_o despair_v not_o convert_v by_o see_v that_o they_o may_v go_v roar_v out_o of_o this_o world_n to_o their_o place_n but_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o sure_a sign_n of_o a_o man_n damnation_n than_o to_o die_v quiet_o after_o a_o sinful_a life_n than_o to_o sin_n and_o die_v with_o his_o eye_n shut_v than_o to_o sin_n and_o die_v with_o a_o heart_n that_o can_v repent_v 5._o he_o have_v blind_v their_o eye_n and_o harden_v their_o heart_n that_o they_o shall_v

understand_v with_o their_o heart_n and_o shall_v be_v convert_v and_o i_o shall_v heal_v they_o god_n have_v a_o judgement_n for_o wicked_a man_n god_n will_v be_v even_o with_o wicked_a man_n 2._o god_n know_v how_o to_o reserve_v the_o ungodly_a to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n to_o be_v punish_v and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o his_o way_n by_o which_o he_o do_v it_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o
