if_o one_o leper_n among_o ten_o that_o be_v cleanse_v return_v with_o his_o thanks_o he_o shall_v be_v accept_v if_o in_o a_o city_n one_o in_o a_o tribe_n but_o two_o and_o in_o a_o whole_a world_n but_o eight_o just_a person_n be_v find_v the_o lord_n will_v receive_v they_o and_o save_v they_o from_o perish_v with_o the_o wicked_a world_n the_o lord_n deal_v not_o with_o his_o people_n as_o man_n do_v that_o will_v say_v if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o fish_n in_o the_o net_n and_o a_o little_a one_o cast_v it_o in_o again_o if_o there_o come_v uppe_o but_o a_o little_a fruit_n upon_o the_o tree_n let_v the_o swine_n eat_v it_o except_o there_o be_v more_o if_o the_o hen_n bring_v but_o one_o chicken_n cast_v it_o away_o because_o there_o be_v no_o more_o or_o as_o the_o wicked_a say_v if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o or_o two_o in_o a_o congregation_n that_o fear_n god_n what_o account_v make_v you_o of_o he_o he_o be_v one_o we_o be_v many_o against_o one_o but_o the_o lord_n make_v much_o of_o one_o so_o it_o be_v his_o own_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o also_o shall_v make_v more_o account_n of_o one_o good_a man_n if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o among_o many_o then_o of_o many_o bad_a as_o the_o lord_n do_v for_o he_o deal_v like_o a_o merciful_a creditor_n who_o have_v many_o desperate_a debt_n will_v take_v any_o thing_n and_o not_o refuse_v part_n because_o he_o can_v have_v all_o last_o of_o all_o from_o this_o place_n we_o note_v that_o the_o lord_n use_v to_o spare_v many_o wicked_a one_o oftentimes_o for_o the_o small_a number_n of_o his_o elect_a sake_n which_o be_v among_o they_o as_o he_o spare_v sodom_n and_o gomorrha_n for_o lot_n sake_n the_o old_a world_n for_o noah_n sake_n and_o putiphar_n for_o joseph_n sake_n the_o thorn_n be_v spare_v for_o the_o lily_n sake_n that_o grow_v among_o they_o and_o the_o tare_n for_o the_o wheat_n sake_n be_v not_o cut_v down_o and_o for_o good_a jehoshaphat_n his_o sake_n it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n prophet_n vouchsafe_v to_o go_v unto_o wicked_a jehoram_fw-la or_o else_o he_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o have_v look_v towards_o that_o wicked_a man_n though_o he_o be_v a_o king_n 3.1_o 2_o king_n 3.1_o this_o may_v teach_v we_o to_o make_v much_o of_o they_o that_o fear_v god_n for_o if_o their_o number_n be_v once_o accomplish_v the_o world_n be_v at_o a_o end_n for_o as_o the_o world_n be_v make_v at_o the_o first_o for_o their_o sake_n so_o for_o their_o sake_n it_o be_v that_o it_o continue_v and_o stand_v for_o how_o long_o do_v sodom_n stand_v free_a from_o the_o fire_n of_o god_n wrath_n after_o lot_n and_o his_o household_n be_v remoove_v out_o of_o it_o or_o how_o long_o do_v the_o old_a world_n escape_v drown_v after_o that_o noah_n and_o his_o company_n be_v enter_v the_o ark_n no_o long_o shall_v the_o world_n stand_v after_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v once_o gather_v his_o choose_a unto_o himself_o if_o the_o wicked_a do_v well_o consider_v of_o this_o point_n that_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v gather_v his_o wheat_n into_o his_o barn_n as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n say_v that_o he_o will_v then_o gather_v the_o tare_n together_o and_o cast_v they_o into_o unquenchable_a fire_n they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o hasty_a to_o drive_v away_o god_n people_n and_o to_o hunt_v they_o out_o of_o their_o company_n and_o out_o of_o their_o city_n and_o town_n as_o they_o do_v like_o the_o galilean_n which_o be_v not_o well_o until_o christ_n be_v go_v out_o of_o their_o coast_n but_o even_o in_o policy_n they_o make_v much_o of_o he_o as_o foam_n do_v of_o ward_n who_o land_n they_o enjoy_v but_o during_o their_o minority_n and_o the_o term_n of_o their_o life_n and_o after_o their_o decease_n or_o when_o they_o come_v to_o full_a age_n all_o go_v from_o they_o again_o to_o another_o but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o text_n again_o and_o will_v bring_v you_o to_o zion_n zion_n be_v a_o fort_n in_o jerusalem_n 8.1_o 2._o sam._n 5.7_o 2._o sam._n 6.16_o 1._o king_n 8.1_o &_o keep_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o jebusite_n till_o david_n time_n but_o it_o be_v win_v by_o david_n when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n after_o he_o have_v win_v it_o he_o bring_v ●hither_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n covenant_n to_o which_o place_n the_o people_n resort_v to_o worship_v the_o lord_n so_o that_o by_o zion_n be_v mean_v the_o place_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o religion_n so_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o these_o word_n be_v this_o in_o respect_n i_o will_v set_v you_o at_o liberty_n from_o your_o enemy_n and_o bring_v you_o again_o to_o your_o own_o country_n that_o you_o may_v serve_v i_o in_o holy_a exercise_n of_o religion_n as_o i_o have_v appoint_v whence_o we_o may_v note_v that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o church_n deliverance_n from_o any_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n be_v to_o become_v more_o religious_a for_o to_o this_o end_n have_v the_o lord_n deliver_v we_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n that_o we_o may_v serve_v he_o without_o fear_n 1.74_o luke_n 1.74_o in_o righteousness_n &_o true_a holiness_n always_o but_o some_o may_v say_v this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o no_o great_a vaive_n for_o they_o have_v it_o before_o &_o make_v no_o reckon_n of_o it_o &_o therefore_o very_a like_o that_o this_o will_v not_o move_v they_o but_o if_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o of_o their_o gorgeous_a house_n delicate_a orchard_n pleasant_a field_n and_o abundance_n of_o worldly_a wealth_n and_o great_a honour_n and_o dignity_n it_o may_v be_v they_o will_v have_v regard_v such_o thing_n as_o sathan_n think_v to_o move_v christ_n to_o worship_v he_o that_o way_n when_o no_o way_n else_o will_v prevail_v he_o show_v he_o therefore_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o they_o and_o do_v offer_v they_o all_o unto_o he_o upon_o condition_n that_o he_o will_v fall_v down_o and_o worship_v he_o but_o by_o no_o mean_n he_o can_v prevail_v with_o his_o goodly_a offer_n for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v not_o of_o a_o worldling_n mind_n that_o will_v do_v more_o for_o gold_n then_o for_o godliness_n so_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v tell_v the_o jew_n of_o such_o matter_n wherewith_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v more_o draw_v they_o with_o spiritual_a matter_n he_o may_v have_v win_v their_o love_n for_o ever_o but_o to_o tell_v they_o of_o zion_n and_o religion_n of_o pastor_n and_o preach_v may_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o drive_v they_o further_o from_o his_o love_n then_o before_o indeed_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o good_a worldly_a policy_n but_o the_o lord_n need_v not_o to_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o world_n the_o truth_n be_v so_o that_o when_o they_o have_v their_o fill_n of_o religion_n and_o religious_a exercise_n at_o zion_n they_o care_v not_o for_o they_o but_o now_o be_v well_o humble_v with_o affliction_n among_o idolater_n and_o scoffer_n and_o be_v keep_v from_o it_o they_o account_v dear_o of_o it_o and_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o may_v further_o appear_v by_o that_o pitiful_a complaint_n and_o moan_n which_o they_o make_v in_o the_o 137._o ●_o 〈◊〉_d 137_o

before_o when_o they_o be_v at_o zion_n but_o now_o they_o weep_v yea_o so_o great_a be_v their_o grief_n at_o the_o remembrance_n of_o zion_n now_o that_o all_o mirth_n and_o music_n be_v lay_v
