ungodly_a man_n to_o scourge_v they_o but_o when_o he_o hear_v they_o cry_v and_o roar_v so_o that_o they_o be_v about_o to_o swoon_v then_o he_o come_v run_v in_o and_o say_v comfort_v you_o comfort_v you_o my_o people_n they_o have_v receive_v double_a you_o merciless_a and_o cruel_a wretch_n you_o have_v give_v my_o child_n double_a twice_o as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v bear_v and_o so_o he_o fall_v a_o kiss_v they_o to_o fetch_v life_n in_o they_o again_o and_o so_o i_o think_v i_o see_v the_o lord_n come_v run_v in_o among_o the_o merciless_a besieger_n of_o this_o place_n and_o cry_v out_o as_o isa_n 3.15_o what_o mean_v you_o that_o you_o beat_v my_o people_n in_o piece_n what_o do_v you_o mean_v to_o do_v to_o they_o what_o do_v you_o purpose_n to_o reduce_v this_o town_n to_o nothing_o to_o consume_v it_o all_o to_o ash_n to_o butcher_v all_o my_o people_n here_o so_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v so_o much_o as_o one_o leave_v be_v that_o your_o resolution_n and_o intent_n indeed_o i_o have_v permit_v you_o to_o wreak_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o your_o rage_n upon_o the_o house_n and_o the_o person_n of_o my_o poor_a servant_n but_o what_o do_v you_o intend_v to_o burn_v all_o and_o kill_v all_o so_o that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o house_n stand_v nor_o a_o saint_n alive_a here_o i_o can_v bear_v it_o no_o the_o remainder_n of_o your_o rage_n must_v i_o restrain_v and_o thus_o you_o see_v god_n limit_v the_o wrath_n of_o wicked_a man_n which_o be_v the_o former_a member_n of_o the_o point_n 2_o branch_n and_o as_o he_o limit_n it_o in_o part_n so_o that_o part_n of_o it_o which_o he_o do_v not_o limit_n he_o turn_v it_o to_o his_o own_o praise_n and_o fetch_v glory_n to_o himself_o from_o it_o sure_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n shall_v praise_v thou_o say_v the_o psalmist_n here_o so_o much_o as_o be_v permit_v unrestrained_a shall_v bring_v honour_n to_o thy_o name_n and_o the_o remainder_n etc._n etc._n although_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n do_v not_o accomplish_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n it_o do_v accomplish_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n as_o he_o design_v to_o do_v get_v honour_n out_o of_o pharoah_n rage_n and_o out_o of_o the_o assyrian_n rage_n against_o his_o people_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a he_o will_v have_v honour_n out_o of_o the_o wrath_n and_o rage_n of_o he_o and_o our_o malicious_a enemy_n against_o this_o place_n thus_o he_o have_v do_v heretofore_o and_o will_v do_v to_o the_o world_n end_n but_o you_o will_v interpose_v and_o ask_v i_o now_o which_o way_n do_v the_o lord_n fetch_v praise_n out_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o wicked_a man_n against_o his_o people_n i_o answer_v principal_o two_o way_n first_o he_o fetch_v praise_n and_o glory_n from_o the_o rage_n of_o wicked_a man_n against_o his_o people_n as_o it_o commend_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o own_o power_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n that_o the_o lord_n shall_v keep_v his_o people_n notwithstanding_o all_o their_o fury_n that_o though_o there_o be_v enough_o of_o the_o malignant_a church_n to_o devour_v the_o militant_a to_o eat_v up_o god_n people_n as_o a_o man_n will_v eat_v bread_n and_o though_o they_o be_v so_o full_a of_o bitterness_n and_o wrath_n against_o they_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o man_n to_o be_v god_n shall_v preserve_v they_o notwithstanding_o safe_a and_o sound_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v keep_v they_o as_o he_o do_v sometime_o unsinge_v and_o untouched_a in_o a_o fournace_n of_o wrath_n heat_n hot_a than_o ordinary_a this_o set_v off_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o power_n second_o god_n fetch_v praise_n and_o glory_n to_o himself_o from_o the_o rage_n of_o wicked_a man_n against_o his_o people_n as_o it_o do_v accidental_o commend_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o they_o be_v it_o not_o very_o much_o my_o brethren_n that_o the_o saint_n shall_v stand_v it_o out_o and_o be_v upright_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o spite_n and_o fury_n of_o ungodly_a man_n against_o they_o that_o all_o their_o malice_n all_o their_o rage_n and_o all_o their_o threaten_n shall_v not_o cause_v they_o to_o desert_n or_o to_o deny_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n no_o nor_o to_o droop_v or_o faint_v under_o it_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n be_v admirable_o strengthen_v and_o uphold_v in_o these_o latter_a time_n of_o trial_n when_o there_o be_v no_o outward_a mean_n appear_v to_o the_o eye_n of_o sense_n or_o reason_n and_o when_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n leave_v be_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o which_o they_o be_v uphold_v than_o he_o you_v a_o glorious_a thing_n have_v he_o not_o much_o honour_n by_o it_o it_o be_v a_o honour_n to_o the_o lord_n that_o job_n continue_v constant_a and_o patient_a notwithstanding_o all_o the_o malice_n of_o satan_n and_o his_o instrument_n and_o the_o worst_a that_o they_o can_v do_v it_o glorify_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o he_o and_o therefore_o god_n i_o think_v do_v vaunt_v and_o pride_n himself_o in_o this_o precious_a saint_n of_o he_o in_o that_o speech_n of_o he_o to_o satan_n job_n 2.3_o have_v thou_o consider_v my_o servant_n job_n that_o there_o be_v none_o like_o he_o in_o the_o earth_n and_o still_o he_o hold_v fast_o his_o integrity_n though_o thou_o have_v do_v thy_o utmost_a to_o he_o he_o have_v not_o do_v as_o thou_o do_v wicked_o suggest_v he_o will_v he_o have_v not_o yet_o desert_v or_o deny_v i_o no_o still_o he_o hold_v fast_o his_o integrity_n and_o so_o the_o lord_n do_v seem_v to_o say_v in_o these_o day_n to_o the_o malicious_a enemy_n of_o his_o people_n look_v upon_o those_o saint_n of_o i_o though_o you_o have_v plunder_v they_o and_o strip_v they_o and_o turn_v they_o bare_a and_o naked_a to_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o world_n though_o you_o have_v imprison_v they_o though_o you_o have_v threaten_v they_o with_o death_n itself_o they_o never_o yield_v or_o comply_v with_o you_o they_o never_o take_v the_o curse_a oath_n that_o you_o endeavour_v to_o impose_v upon_o they_o they_o never_o yet_o deny_v i_o nor_o my_o cause_n but_o still_o they_o have_v hold_v fast_o their_o integrity_n though_o you_o have_v show_v the_o utmost_a of_o your_o rage_n and_o spite_n against_o they_o be_v not_o the_o rage_n of_o wicked_a man_n declare_v against_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o power_n and_o grace_n can_v not_o be_v magnify_v and_o set_v off_o as_o now_o it_o be_v but_o now_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n do_v praise_v he_o use_v 1_o now_o to_o apply_v it_o very_o brief_o be_v it_o so_o that_o though_o the_o wrath_n of_o wicked_a wretch_n have_v no_o limit_n in_o it_o yet_o the_o lord_n set_v limit_n to_o it_o why_o then_o i_o say_v as_o david_n touch_v the_o philistine_n let_v no_o man_n heart_n fail_v he_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o rage_n of_o these_o man_n let_v they_o fume_n and_o let_v they_o storm_n and_o let_v they_o swell_v even_o till_o they_o burst_v with_o inward_a fury_n they_o shall_v do_v but_o what_o the_o hand_n and_o counsel_n of_o god_n determine_v before_o to_o be_v do_v when_o they_o have_v do_v what_o he_o determine_v they_o shall_v not_o move_v one_o jot_n they_o shall_v not_o stir_v a_o inch_n further_o and_o why_o then_o be_v you_o so_o afraid_a of_o the_o oppressor_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v and_o forget_v the_o lord_n your_o maker_n who_o limit_v and_o bound_v their_o fury_n oh_o you_o of_o little_a faith_n wherefore_o do_v you_o doubt_v why_o will_v you_o say_v though_o god_n restrain_v the_o wrath_n and_o rage_n of_o wicked_a wretch_n many_o time_n yet_o at_o some_o other_o time_n he_o permit_v it_o to_o break_v out_o in_o a_o very_a great_a measure_n and_o so_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o it_o yet_o here_o be_v comfort_n still_o my_o brethren_n for_o that_o which_o he_o permit_v unrestrained_a he_o turn_v to_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o shall_v we_o not_o take_v sweet_a encouragement_n in_o this_o that_o god_n be_v glorify_v though_o our_o self_n suffer_v shall_v we_o not_o cheerful_o endure_v a_o little_a of_o their_o rage_n so_o the_o lord_n have_v honour_n by_o it_o shall_v we_o not_o prefer_v his_o glory_n far_o beyond_o our_o own_o quiet_a so_o that_o you_o see_v we_o want_v not_o something_o to_o support_v we_o every_o way_n and_o however_o matter_n go_v if_o god_n restrain_v the_o wrath_n of_o wicked_a wretch_n we_o have_v ease_n if_o he_o permit_v it_o unrestrained_a he_o have_v praise_n and_o this_o be_v not_o a_o empty_a notion_n raise_v by_o fancy_n but_o a_o certain_a thing_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n no_o

david_n and_o his_o man_n get_v they_o up_o into_o the_o hold_n use_v 2._o be_v it_o so_o my_o brethren_n that_o the_o rage_n of_o wicked_a man_n against_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v such_o a_o bottomless_a &_o endless_a rage_n then_o let_v we_o earnest_o beseech_v the_o lord_n that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v give_v up_o into_o their_o power_n what_o ever_o judgement_n come_v upon_o we_o true_a it_o be_v we_o must_v confess_v we_o have_v deserve_v heavy_a judgement_n bitter_a trial_n sharp_a correction_n and_o if_o the_o lord_n see_v fit_a we_o ought_v with_o meekness_n to_o submit_v to_o they_o and_o patient_o to_o bear_v his_o indignation_n because_o we_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o but_o yet_o let_v we_o be_v earnest_n with_o he_o that_o if_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o scourge_v we_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o chasten_v we_o himself_o and_o not_o to_o give_v we_o up_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o who_o tender_a mercy_n be_v cruel_a oh_o let_v we_o beg_v as_o the_o prophet_n david_n do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n 2_o sam._n 24.14_o let_v we_o fall_v now_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o his_o mercy_n be_v great_a and_o not_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o barbarous_a and_o bloody_a man_n and_o let_v it_o be_v our_o study_n and_o endeavour_v so_o to_o walk_v that_o we_o do_v not_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o take_v this_o sharp_a and_o rigid_a course_n with_o we_o and_o to_o this_o end_n we_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o avoid_v those_o sin_n which_o cause_n the_o lord_n to_o leave_v a_o people_n or_o a_o person_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o such_o wretch_n i_o may_v be_v very_o copious_a here_o but_o i_o shall_v name_v but_o two_o particular_n for_o haste_n and_o so_o on_o 1._o the_o first_o that_o i_o will_v mention_v be_v forsake_v god_n and_o cast_v off_o his_o service_n when_o man_n will_v be_v no_o long_o subject_n to_o the_o lord_n at_o least_o they_o will_v not_o be_v obedient_a to_o he_o full_o but_o in_o some_o certain_a thing_n only_o than_o he_o will_v make_v they_o subject_a to_o their_o cruel_a enemy_n and_o when_o they_o cast_v away_o his_o easy_a yoke_n the_o lord_n will_v lay_v a_o heavy_a yoke_n upon_o they_o the_o yoke_n of_o merciless_a oppression_n by_o barbarous_a and_o bloody_a man_n this_o be_v the_o sin_n for_o which_o he_o threaten_v it_o to_o his_o people_n as_o you_o may_v see_v deut._n 28.47_o because_o thou_o serve_v not_o the_o lord_n in_o gladness_n and_o in_o joyfulness_n of_o heart_n in_o the_o abundance_n of_o all_o thing_n therefore_o thou_o shall_v serve_v thy_o enemy_n in_o hunger_n and_o in_o thirst_n and_o nakedness_n and_o in_o the_o want_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o he_o shall_v put_v a_o yoke_n of_o iron_n on_o thy_o neck_n until_o he_o have_v destroy_v thou_o and_o this_o we_o see_v according_o fulfil_v on_o israel_n often_o in_o the_o book_n of_o judge_n as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v faithful_a and_o obedient_a they_o be_v free_a from_o enemy_n they_o flourish_v in_o a_o prosperous_a state_n but_o when_o they_o once_o forsake_v the_o lord_n and_o grow_v weary_a of_o his_o service_n their_o adversary_n be_v the_o chief_a and_o they_o that_o hate_v they_o rule_v over_o they_o to_o this_o effect_n we_o have_v a_o memorable_a instance_n 2_o chro._n 12.5_o the_o prince_n and_o the_o people_n have_v sit_v loose_a from_o god_n and_o go_v a_o

i_o have_v also_o leave_v you_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o shishack_n q._n d._n i_o see_v that_o you_o be_v weary_a of_o my_o service_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v serve_v your_o enemy_n another_o while_n i_o have_v leave_v you_o in_o their_o hand_n there_o let_v they_o worry_v you_o and_o spoil_v you_o there_o let_v they_o kill_v you_o and_o destroy_v you_o let_v they_o do_v what_o they_o
