it_o be_v your_o father_n will_n to_o give_v you_o a_o kingdom_n a_o kingdom_n of_o more_o glory_n than_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v a_o kingdom_n which_o shall_v never_o end_v this_o be_v the_o reward_n which_o god_n will_v certain_o bestow_v on_o his_o righteous_a servant_n and_o child_n of_o which_o reward_v some_o make_v the_o rain_v righteousness_n in_o the_o text_n a_o promise_n for_o they_o take_v righteousness_n to_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o it_o as_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n iniquity_n be_v take_v for_o the_o punishment_n thereof_o but_o whether_o that_o be_v the_o main_a intent_n of_o the_o word_n certain_o it_o may_v be_v comprehend_v in_o they_o for_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o righteousness_n be_v always_o give_v where_o itself_o be_v give_v holiness_n and_o the_o glorious_a reward_n of_o it_o can_v be_v disjoin_v so_o that_o he_o who_o have_v the_o one_o be_v sure_a of_o the_o other_o the_o wicked_a can_v inherit_v glory_n nor_o can_v the_o righteous_a be_v exclude_v instead_o therefore_o of_o perplex_v ourselves_o what_o shall_v come_v of_o we_o whether_o we_o shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n let_v we_o cheerful_o do_v our_o

the_o other_o hitherto_o i_o have_v handle_v and_o apply_v public_a the_o text_n with_o a_o respect_n to_o man_n private_a and_o personal_a state_n but_o as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o beginning_n the_o prophet_n deliver_v this_o advice_n with_o a_o regard_n to_o the_o public_a state_n of_o his_o people_n both_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastic_a and_o so_o it_o propose_v the_o true_a way_n and_o method_n of_o prevent_v and_o remove_v public_a calamity_n and_o disaster_n from_o church_n and_o state_n which_o be_v to_o put_v away_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o to_o encourage_v and_o promote_v piety_n and_o godliness_n as_o the_o prophet_n forewarn_v they_o of_o very_o sad_a and_o heavy_a judgement_n so_o all_o along_o he_o plain_o inculcate_n the_o cause_n thereof_o viz._n their_o pride_n and_o wantonness_n the_o neglect_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o worship_n and_o a_o gross_a contempt_n of_o and_o disobedience_n to_o his_o righteous_a law_n for_o this_o cause_n he_o tell_v they_o they_o be_v to_o be_v so_o exemplary_o punish_v and_o that_o nothing_o can_v save_v they_o from_o utter_a ruin_n or_o procure_v the_o lengthen_v of_o their_o tranquillity_n but_o the_o cease_n from_o sin_n and_o the_o do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n both_o the_o preservation_n and_o ruin_n of_o kingdom_n and_o public_a state_n be_v of_o god_n and_o he_o be_v move_v to_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o according_a as_o they_o be_v righteous_a or_o wicked_a for_o as_o solomon_n say_v righteousness_n exalt_v a_o nation_n but_o sin_n be_v 34._o a_o reproach_n to_o any_o people_n which_o maxim_n of_o the_o wise_a man_n be_v clear_o exemplify_v in_o sacred_a history_n and_o be_v wise_o observe_v in_o relation_n to_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o person_n of_o achior_n the_o captain_n of_o the_o son_n of_o ammon_n for_o in_o the_o speech_n which_o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v make_v to_o olofernes_n he_o tell_v he_o that_o while_o they_o sin_v not_o before_o their_o god_n they_o prosper_v because_o the_o god_n that_o hate_v iniquity_n be_v with_o they_o but_o when_o they_o depart_v from_o the_o way_n which_o he_o appoint_v they_o they_o be_v destroy_v in_o many_o sore_a battle_n and_o be_v lead_v captive_n into_o a_o land_n that_o be_v not_o they_o and_o the_o temple_n of_o their_o god_n be_v cast_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o their_o city_n be_v take_v by_o the_o enemy_n from_o which_o wise_a observation_n he_o conclude_v as_o wise_o his_o advice_n to_o the_o same_o olofernes_n now_o therefore_o my_o lord_n and_o governor_n if_o there_o be_v any_o error_n in_o this_o people_n and_o they_o sin_n against_o their_o god_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o this_o shall_v be_v their_o ruin_n and_o let_v we_o go_v up_o and_o we_o shall_v overcome_v they_o but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o iniquity_n in_o their_o nation_n let_v my_o lord_n pass_v by_o lest_o their_o lord_n defend_v they_o and_o their_o god_n be_v for_o they_o and_o we_o become_v a_o reproach_n before_o all_o the_o world_n righteousness_n 17._o be_v the_o great_a security_n of_o a_o people_n it_o be_v the_o strong_a bond_n of_o union_n among_o themselves_o and_o will_v defend_v

and_o who_o when_o a_o man_n way_n please_v the_o lord_n make_v his_o enemy_n to_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o he_o if_o therefore_o we_o have_v any_o concernment_n for_o the_o church_n and_o state_n whereof_o we_o be_v member_n if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o do_v good_a to_o our_o zion_n and_o to_o build_v up_o the_o wall_n of_o our_o jerusalem_n if_o we_o will_v have_v he_o to_o settle_v peace_n within_o their_o wall_n and_o prosperity_n within_o their_o palace_n let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o return_v from_o the_o evil_a of_o our_o way_n let_v we_o seek_v god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n retrieve_v true_a piety_n and_o true_a religion_n and_o by_o the_o work_n of_o real_a righteousness_n study_v to_o please_v god_n if_o we_o do_v this_o than_o his_o heart_n will_v be_v towards_o we_o and_o his_o delight_n will_v be_v in_o we_o then_o we_o shall_v become_v his_o pleasant_a vineyard_n which_o he_o will_v fence_v and_o plant_v out_o of_o which_o he_o will_v gather_v the_o stone_n and_o in_o which_o he_o will_v build_v a_o tower_n for_o himself_o he_o will_v cherish_v our_o church_n and_o state_n and_o do_v all_o that_o can_v be_v desire_v for_o their_o beauty_n order_n and_o peace_n but_o if_o instead_o of_o the_o pleasant_a grape_n of_o righteousness_n we_o yield_v the_o sour_a grape_n of_o iniquity_n if_o instead_o of_o judgement_n god_n see_v oppression_n if_o instead_o of_o righteousness_n he_o hear_v a_o cry_n if_o instead_o of_o the_o sweet_a smell_a savour_n of_o a_o christian_a conversation_n we_o send_v forth_o the_o noisome_a and_o stink_a scent_n of_o sin_n and_o impiety_n ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n than_o he_o will_v utter_o abandon_v we_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o he_o will_v then_o do_v to_o his_o vineyard_n i_o

be_v a_o return_n of_o righteousness_n of_o true_a and_o solid_a piety_n till_o that_o appear_v we_o need_v not_o look_v for_o good_a let_v we_o therefore_o seek_v the_o lord_n and_o by_o fervent_a and_o effectual_a prayer_n beseech_v he_o to_o give_v repentance_n unto_o all_o people_n and_o to_o rain_v down_o true_a righteousness_n upon_o all_o rank_n and_o order_n of_o man_n that_o it_o may_v
