understanding_n whereupon_o it_o be_v record_v as_o a_o great_a aggravation_n of_o jeroboam_n sin_n that_o he_o offer_v to_o god_n in_o the_o fifteen_o day_n of_o the_o eigth_n month_n 15.32_o 1_o

as_o the_o ill_a temper_n of_o heart_n in_o the_o idolater_n which_o occasion_v it_o and_o that_o be_v a_o proud_a conceit_n of_o mend_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o add_v something_o to_o make_v it_o more_o specious_a and_o this_o corrupt_a principle_n be_v the_o true_a spring_n of_o all_o invent_v uncommand_v and_o therefore_o unwarrantable_a form_n of_o worship_n in_o defence_n of_o which_o whoever_o plead_v custom_n and_o antiquity_n do_v only_o use_v name_n for_o which_o we_o ought_v so_o much_o the_o more_o to_o detest_v it_o since_o the_o old_a an_o error_n be_v the_o worse_a it_o be_v and_o call_v for_o the_o sore_a rain_n of_o judgement_n to_o wash_v those_o inveterate_a stain_n of_o it_o away_o as_o god_n threaten_v by_o amos_n 2.4_o amos_n 2.4_o for_o three_o

very_a thing_n do_v so_o little_o abate_v that_o it_o be_v mention_v as_o a_o cause_n of_o their_o punishment_n and_o it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o when_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v flat_a idolater_n god_n do_v content_v himself_o with_o punish_v they_o only_o by_o seventy_o year_n captivity_n but_o in_o our_o saviour_n time_n when_o in_o great_a zeal_n not_o for_o god_n law_n

that_o those_o person_n who_o have_v be_v in_o the_o same_o case_n must_v needs_o expect_v the_o same_o punishment_n if_o they_o shall_v venture_v to_o commit_v the_o same_o sin_n i_o shall_v therefore_o omit_v the_o prosecution_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o perjury_n against_o which_o so_o many_o curse_n be_v denounce_v in_o scripture_n that_o as_o certain_a as_o god_n be_v true_a so_o
