as_o potter_n shred_n with_o the_o sceptre_n of_o his_o power_n use_v that_o i_o may_v render_v these_o truth_n practicable_a and_o accommodate_v they_o to_o the_o use_n and_o benefit_n of_o this_o people_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o deal_v in_o all_o plainness_n and_o integrity_n as_o i_o will_v not_o give_v flatter_v word_n lest_o god_n shall_v destroy_v i_o so_o neither_o will_v i_o design_o provoke_v or_o move_v any_o to_o anger_n except_o it_o be_v at_o his_o sin_n i_o shall_v therefore_o endeavour_v to_o speak_v word_n of_o truth_n and_o soberness_n and_o yet_o choose_v rather_o to_o offend_v man_n than_o provoke_v the_o most_o high_a there_o be_v two_o uses_n i_o have_v to_o suggest_v unto_o which_o i_o shall_v reduce_v those_o few_o word_n which_o i_o have_v to_o speak_v the_o one_o by_o way_n of_o conviction_n the_o other_o of_o exhortation_n 1._o for_o conviction_n let_v we_o solemn_o consider_v and_o right_o weigh_v whether_o or_o no_o those_o word_n which_o have_v be_v speak_v against_o this_o place_n and_o people_n on_o such_o occasion_n as_o this_o be_v not_o such_o word_n as_o god_n command_v those_o that_o deliver_v they_o to_o come_v and_o speak_v i_o must_v confess_v when_o i_o serious_o look_v upon_o this_o people_n in_o their_o constitution_n civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a mould_v in_o the_o one_o under_o wholesome_a law_n in_o the_o other_o under_o strict_a and_o sacred_a covenant_n when_o i_o consider_v that_o the_o management_n of_o these_o be_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o pious_a and_o prudent_a magistracy_n a_o godly_a and_o learned_a ministry_n when_o i_o think_v how_o many_o there_o be_v who_o heart_n be_v upright_o with_o god_n and_o do_v not_o wicked_o depart_v from_o his_o covenant_n when_o i_o mind_n that_o by_o the_o very_a confession_n of_o unprejudiced_a stranger_n here_o be_v more_o of_o sobriety_n and_o honest_a conversation_n than_o almost_o in_o any_o place_n they_o have_v occasion_n to_o be_v conversant_a in_o it_o seem_v hard_a to_o believe_v that_o god_n who_o be_v full_a of_o mercy_n and_o pity_n who_o know_v this_o frame_n of_o we_o and_o mind_n that_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n shall_v declare_v against_o we_o though_o many_o infirmity_n shall_v appear_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o we_o and_o can_v be_v willing_a to_o think_v that_o all_o the_o warning_n &_o menace_n which_o have_v be_v utter_v by_o these_o or_o those_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o mistake_v of_o a_o irregular_a though_o well_o mind_v zeal_n or_o the_o dump_n and_o night_n vision_n of_o some_o melancholic_a spirit_n and_o thus_o indeed_o be_v the_o prophet_n of_o old_a censure_v but_o when_o i_o thorough_o weigh_v all_o circumstance_n in_o a_o equal_a balance_n i_o dare_v not_o but_o conclude_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v send_v they_o to_o speak_v all_o these_o word_n what_o they_o have_v speak_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n upon_o record_n and_o commend_v to_o we_o in_o print_n wherein_o we_o be_v impeach_v for_o degenercy_n threaten_v with_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n if_o we_o amend_v not_o and_o thence_o solemn_o advise_v and_o invite_v to_o repent_v if_o they_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n then_o be_v we_o far_o from_o be_v safe_a and_o secure_a from_o eminent_a danger_n i_o know_v they_o have_v be_v condemn_v by_o some_o contemn_v by_o many_o more_o scarce_o believe_v by_o any_o if_o we_o be_v to_o take_v the_o evidence_n of_o man_n faith_n by_o their_o work_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v ponder_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o they_o may_v leave_v conviction_n behind_o they_o 1._o they_o be_v the_o lord_n faithful_a watchman_n who_o give_v this_o alarm_n not_o man_n that_o come_v upon_o their_o own_o head_n but_o be_v set_v up_o by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o descry_v and_o give_v notice_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o his_o people_n and_o these_o be_v such_o as_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o make_v know_v his_o counsel_n to_o amos_n 3._o 7._o sure_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v nothing_o but_o he_o reveal_v his_o secret_n to_o his_o servant_n the_o prophet_n they_o be_v such_o as_o true_o fear_v god_n and_o will_v not_o dare_v to_o prophesy_v lie_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n 2._o they_o be_v such_o as_o love_v and_o labour_v for_o the_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n of_o this_o people_n who_o can_v true_o with_o the_o prophet_n appeal_v to_o he_o who_o know_v the_o heart_n that_o they_o desire_v not_o that_o woeful_a day_n friend_n and_o not_o enemy_n to_o our_o zion_n who_o love_v and_o stand_v up_o for_o the_o way_n of_o these_o church_n who_o pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o our_o jerusalem_n who_o mourn_v in_o secret_a for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o land_n and_o to_o their_o ability_n strong_o endeavour_v to_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o they_o and_o to_o prevent_v the_o eruption_n of_o god_n wrath_n who_o preach_v the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n with_o pity_n and_o compassion_n entreat_v and_o encourage_v to_o repentance_n 3._o they_o deliver_v not_o these_o message_n without_o many_o heavy_a pang_n and_o throe_n upon_o their_o own_o spirit_n this_o roll_n be_v bitter_a to_o they_o and_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o reluctancy_n and_o unwillingness_n do_v they_o declare_v themselves_o i_o myself_o have_v hear_v some_o of_o they_o express_v what_o combat_n what_o wrestle_n they_o have_v have_v in_o their_o own_o mind_n how_o loath_a to_o speak_v how_o fearful_a about_o their_o message_n how_o well_o they_o can_v have_v be_v content_a to_o enjoy_v the_o goodwill_n of_o the_o people_n and_o how_o great_o unwilling_a they_o be_v to_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o add_v to_o the_o guilt_n of_o those_o that_o have_v already_o run_v too_o deep_a on_o account_n with_o god_n and_o can_v they_o have_v so_o satisfy_v their_o own_o conscience_n and_o be_v clear_a of_o blood_n will_v have_v altogether_o hold_v their_o peace_n yea_o sometime_o have_v say_v as_o the_o prophet_n chap._n 20._o 9_o i_o will_v not_o make_v mention_n of_o he_o nor_o speak_v any_o more_o in_o his_o name_n 4._o there_o have_v be_v great_a harmony_n and_o concurrence_n in_o these_o testimony_n it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o voice_n only_o of_o one_o or_o two_o but_o such_o thing_n have_v be_v tell_v we_o from_o year_n to_o year_n and_o though_o god_n may_v put_v a_o lie_a spirit_n into_o four_o hundred_o false_a prophet_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o wont_a so_o to_o deceive_v his_o own_o servant_n if_o they_o all_o be_v mislead_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v or_o where_o shall_v we_o seek_v for_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o will_v not_o that_o itself_o be_v a_o clear_a evidence_n of_o god_n great_a displeasure_n against_o his_o people_n if_o it_o be_v indeed_o arrive_v at_o this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o prophet_n nor_o any_o one_o that_o can_v tell_v how_o long_o 5._o god_n himself_o have_v seal_v the_o truth_n of_o their_o warning_n with_o many_o awful_a providence_n the_o language_n whereof_o have_v there_o be_v no_o interpreter_n have_v speak_v his_o anger_n with_o clear_a demonstration_n the_o rod_n have_v speak_v as_o well_o as_o the_o word_n and_o every_o rod_n have_v come_v after_o such_o solemn_a word_n of_o warning_n as_o have_v be_v too_o general_o entertain_v in_o the_o quality_n of_o tale_n and_o falsehood_n and_o if_o god_n have_v in_o part_n accomplish_v the_o prediction_n of_o his_o servant_n may_v we_o not_o rational_o and_o religious_o judge_n that_o the_o remainder_n shall_v have_v their_o time_n of_o accomplishment_n too_o except_o we_o shall_v attend_v to_o the_o due_a mean_n of_o prevention_n 6._o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o these_o threaten_n be_v find_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o we_o they_o have_v not_o only_o declare_v the_o anger_n of_o a_o holy_a and_o jealous_a god_n but_o also_o draw_v up_o our_o indictment_n and_o enter_v god_n plea_n against_o we_o and_o full_o answer_v all_o our_o reason_n of_o appeal_n they_o have_v show_v judah_n their_o transgression_n and_o the_o house_n of_o

divine_a displeasure_n such_o as_o raise_v up_o god_n jealousy_n and_o kindle_v his_o anger_n against_o those_o that_o be_v so_o find_v guilty_a of_o they_o nor_o yet_o have_v they_o do_v this_o of_o
