that_o our_o contention_n and_o difference_n have_v be_v most_o about_o and_o that_o charity_n which_o shall_v be_v the_o proper_a character_n of_o christian_n as_o it_o be_v the_o very_a spirit_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v lay_v aside_o as_o if_o it_o do_v not_o concern_v we_o and_o fury_n and_o animosity_n have_v be_v take_v up_o instead_o of_o it_o it_o have_v be_v think_v a_o commendable_a quality_n to_o be_v fierce_a against_o all_o that_o will_v not_o entertain_v their_o notion_n of_o thing_n that_o they_o can_v even_o call_v down_o for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n upon_o they_o to_o consume_v they_o man_n foot_n have_v run_v to_o evil_a and_o they_o have_v make_v haste_n to_o shed_v innocent_a blood_n their_o thought_n be_v thought_n of_o iniquity_n waste_v and_o destruction_n be_v in_o their_o path_n and_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n have_v they_o not_o know_v judgement_n have_v be_v turn_v away_o backward_o and_o justice_n stand_v afar_o off_o yea_o truth_n fail_v and_o he_o that_o departsth_n from_o evil_n have_v make_v himself_o a_o prey_n as_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v isa_n 57.7_o etc._n etc._n which_o of_o judah_n sin_n have_v we_o not_o have_v among_o we_o yea_o i_o may_v say_v which_o of_o sodom_n sin_n and_o all_o this_o in_o a_o land_n of_o light_n which_o have_v be_v lift_v up_o to_o heaven_n in_o many_o blessing_n and_o privilege_n and_o which_o profess_v to_o receive_v and_o submit_v to_o the_o holy_a institution_n and_o rule_n of_o the_o bless_a jesus_n by_o who_o sure_o we_o be_v teach_v quite_o other_o thing_n if_o the_o rude_a and_o barbarous_a indian_n or_o servant_n of_o some_o cruel_a or_o dunghill_n deity_n shall_v wallow_v in_o all_o licentiousness_n or_o shall_v like_o beast_n of_o prey_n devour_v and_o tear_v one_o another_o it_o will_v be_v no_o such_o strange_a thing_n for_o this_o will_v satisfy_v best_o the_o fiend_n they_o serve_v but_o our_o saviour_n have_v write_v we_o another_o copy_n and_o have_v prescribe_v we_o rule_n of_o the_o great_a purity_n self-denial_n love_n and_o condescension_n to_o one_o another_o and_o this_o be_v our_o profession_n and_o therefore_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o mighty_a aggravation_n of_o our_o crime_n and_o may_v give_v we_o a_o just_a expectation_n of_o another_o sort_n of_o treatment_n from_o the_o almighty_a well_o might_n god_n have_v say_v to_o we_o ah_o i_o will_v ease_v i_o of_o my_o adversary_n and_o i_o will_v avenge_v i_o of_o my_o enemy_n and_o we_o may_v have_v grope_v for_o the_o wall_n like_o the_o blind_a for_o support_n and_o direction_n and_o yet_o may_v not_o have_v find_v it_o we_o may_v have_v roar_v all_o like_a bear_n and_o mourn_v sore_o like_o dove_n and_o look_v for_o judgement_n but_o have_v find_v none_o for_o salvation_n which_o may_v have_v be_v far_o from_o we_o this_o we_o may_v sure_o have_v expect_v if_o providence_n have_v measure_v out_o to_o we_o in_o his_o dispensation_n that_o which_o we_o have_v deserve_v so_o that_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v and_o be_v not_o our_o deliverance_n then_o of_o mere_a mercy_n god_n himself_o have_v put_v on_o the_o helmet_n of_o salvation_n upon_o his_o head_n for_o we_o and_o have_v put_v on_o the_o garment_n of_o vengeance_n for_o clothe_v and_o be_v clad_v with_o zeal_n as_o a_o cloak_n and_o when_o the_o enemy_n be_v come_v in_o like_o a_o flood_n upon_o we_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v lift_v up_o a_o standard_n against_o he_o let_v we_o therefore_o say_v with_o the_o psalmist_n bless_v the_o lord_n o_o my_o soul_n and_o all_o that_o be_v within_o i_o bless_v his_o holy_a name_n bless_v the_o lord_n o_o my_o soul_n and_o forget_v not_o all_o his_o benefit_n who_o forgive_v all_o thy_o iniquity_n and_o heal_v all_o thy_o disease_n who_o redeem_v thy_o life_n from_o destruction_n who_o crow_v thou_o with_o lovingkindness_n and_o tender_a mercy_n 3._o but_o than_o it_o be_v likewise_o to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o duty_n of_o praise_n that_o we_o show_v our_o thankful_a acceptance_n of_o the_o mercy_n by_o our_o unite_a study_n and_o earnest_a prayer_n to_o have_v that_o perfect_v which_o be_v begin_v and_o now_o it_o be_v come_v to_o so_o good_a a_o pass_n that_o it_o may_v not_o meet_v with_o any_o thing_n to_o obstruct_v the_o desire_a end_n if_o there_o be_v any_o value_n for_o so_o great_a a_o mercy_n and_o if_o we_o do_v real_o carry_v a_o grateful_a sense_n of_o it_o upon_o our_o heart_n if_o we_o will_v not_o relapse_n into_o our_o former_a trouble_n and_o fear_n but_o will_v see_v a_o last_a peace_n in_o our_o israel_n we_o shall_v labour_v to_o prevent_v whatsoever_o may_v hinder_v the_o full_a attainment_n of_o a_o bless_a issue_n and_o we_o shall_v with_o joint_a endeavour_n and_o strong_a cry_n to_o the_o god_n of_o all_o counsel_n and_o grace_n do_v our_o very_a utmost_a to_o accomplish_v so_o glorious_a a_o work._n and_o if_o we_o do_v our_o part_n we_o need_v not_o doubt_n but_o that_o he_o who_o have_v so_o merciful_o give_v out_o his_o helping-hand_n thus_o far_o will_v be_v as_o ready_a to_o assist_v in_o what_o remain_v for_o if_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o destroy_v we_o sure_o he_o will_v not_o have_v do_v we_o all_o this_o good_a but_o we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o dally_v with_o providence_n and_o to_o have_v it_o even_o at_o our_o beck_n or_o command_n if_o we_o play_v away_o this_o day_n of_o grace_n and_o neglect_v the_o season_n or_o if_o we_o divide_v into_o fraction_n and_o run_v into_o party_n we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o be_v save_v against_o our_o will._n god_n have_v once_o more_o put_v a_o opportunity_n in_o our_o hand_n wherein_o we_o may_v make_v ourselves_o happy_a if_o we_o will_v consider_v the_o thing_n that_o make_v for_o our_o peace_n and_o if_o we_o let_v this_o pass_v we_o do_v not_o know_v whether_o ever_o we_o may_v have_v such_o another_o if_o it_o shall_v at_o last_o miscarry_v for_o want_v of_o our_o continual_a unite_a concurrence_n it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o we_o to_o pretend_v a_o esteem_n of_o the_o present_a providence_n or_o a_o zeal_n to_o our_o religion_n when_o we_o still_o sacrifice_v the_o public_a good_a to_o our_o private_a interest_n or_o unchristian_a resentment_n but_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o indeed_o we_o can_v expect_v no_o other_o but_o to_o be_v the_o scorn_n and_o derision_n of_o all_o nation_n and_o the_o triumph_n of_o our_o enrage_a enemy_n as_o we_o shall_v be_v real_o a_o blot_n to_o the_o english_a name_n and_o reform_a religion_n and_o our_o posterity_n after_o we_o may_v have_v too_o much_o cause_n to_o curse_v we_o for_o the_o stupidst_n generation_n that_o ever_o be_v but_o then_o moreover_o if_o we_o be_v true_o sensible_a of_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o present_a mercy_n to_o ourselves_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o grain_n of_o christian_a charity_n leave_v in_o we_o we_o can_v but_o pity_v those_o that_o want_v it_o and_o shall_v be_v as_o earnest_a on_o their_o behalf_n that_o they_o may_v partake_v of_o the_o like_a and_o as_o the_o church_n here_o pray_v further_a that_o god_n will_v turn_v their_o captivity_n as_o the_o stream_n of_o the_o south_n and_o that_o they_o who_o have_v sow_v in_o tear_n may_v at_o length_n reap_v in_o joy_n so_o let_v we_o pray_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o our_o poor_a brethren_n with_o the_o deep_a and_o most_o yearning_n compassion_n o_o remember_v not_o against_o thy_o servant_n former_a iniquity_n let_v thy_o tender_a mercy_n speedy_o prevent_v they_o for_o they_o be_v bring_v very_o low_a help_v they_o o_o god_n of_o our_o salvation_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o thy_o name_n and_o deliver_v they_o wherefore_o shall_v the_o heathen_a say_v where_o be_v now_o their_o god_n let_v he_o be_v know_v among_o the_o heathen_a in_o our_o sight_n and_o let_v the_o sigh_v of_o the_o prisoner_n come_v before_o thou_o according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o power_n so_o we_o thy_o people_n and_o sheep_n of_o thy_o pasture_n will_v give_v thou_o thanks_o for_o ever_o we_o will_v show_v forth_o thy_o praise_n to_o all_o generation_n 4._o the_o last_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v mention_v that_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o duty_n of_o praise_n be_v that_o we_o manifest_v the_o sincerity_n of_o our_o gratitude_n by_o a_o serious_a study_n of_o amendment_n and_o reformation_n that_o it_o may_v not_o repent_v the_o lord_n what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o for_o after_o all_o that_o be_v come_v upon_o we_o for_o our_o evil_a deed_n and_o for_o our_o great_a trespass_n see_v that_o our_o god_n have_v punish_v we_o less_o than_o our_o iniquity_n deserve_v and_o have_v give_v we_o such_o deliverance_n as_o this_o shall_v we_o again_o break_v his_o
