if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v the_o lord_n who_o be_v on_o our_o side_n when_o man_n rise_v up_o against_o we_o then_o they_o have_v swallow_v we_o up_o quick_a when_o their_o wrath_n be_v kindle_v

the_o wrath_n and_o malice_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n people_n and_o that_o against_o israel_n as_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n it_o be_v express_v in_o the_o last_o word_n of_o my_o text_n they_o be_v wrathful_o displease_v at_o we_o god_n enemy_n be_v so_o at_o all_o time_n never_o otherwise_o but_o at_o some_o time_n they_o show_v it_o more_o than_o at_o other_o and_o that_o be_v when_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o put_v their_o malice_n in_o execution_n which_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n in_o my_o text._n second_o their_o conspiracy_n their_o attempt_n to_o execute_v their_o malice_n express_v in_o these_o word_n when_o they_o rise_v up_o against_o we_o three_o the_o extreme_a danger_n of_o god_n people_n at_o the_o time_n of_o such_o a_o attempt_n which_o be_v so_o

that_o go_v down_o alive_a into_o the_o pit_n this_o phrase_n as_o it_o signify_v the_o greatness_n and_o nearness_n of_o that_o danger_n that_o come_v sometime_o on_o god_n church_n so_o it_o signify_v also_o the_o eager_a passionate_a hope_n of_o their_o enemy_n they_o have_v swallow_v we_o up_o quick_a say_v israel_n in_o my_o text_n they_o be_v in_o great_a haste_n to_o have_v we_o in_o their_o belly_n that_o they_o can_v not_o forbear_v we_o till_o we_o be_v dead_a as_o one_o of_o they_o render_v it_o that_o they_o fall_v upon_o we_o raw_a they_o can_v not_o stay_v the_o dress_n of_o we_o say_v another_o that_o they_o be_v for_o swallow_v we_o up_o whole_a they_o have_v not_o patience_n for_o chew_v say_v a_o three_o sure_o great_a be_v their_o haste_n when_o their_o wrath_n be_v thus_o kindle_v against_o we_o and_o great_a be_v our_o danger_n if_o god_n have_v not_o be_v on_o our_o side_n that_o be_v the_o four_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o these_o word_n four_o it_o be_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n that_o watch_v over_o his_o people_n that_o take_v part_n with_o they_o against_o their_o implacable_a enemy_n that_o deliver_v they_o from_o danger_n even_o when_o thing_n be_v come_v to_o extremity_n last_o here_o be_v a_o due_a return_n to_o god_n of_o thankfulness_n from_o his_o people_n which_o as_o they_o have_v cause_n for_o at_o all_o time_n so_o especial_o upon_o such_o a_o deliverance_n on_o every_o thought_n or_o mention_n of_o it_o now_o may_v israel_n say_v with_o mouth_n and_o heart_n private_o and_o in_o the_o congregation_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o be_v on_o our_o side_n what_o will_v have_v become_v of_o we_o and_o now_o what_o shall_v we_o render_v to_o he_o for_o be_v thus_o on_o our_o side_n say_v be_v put_v for_o do_v in_o scripture-language_n all_o god_n word_n be_v action_n and_o he_o expect_v something_o like_o this_o from_o we_o he_o expect_v that_o our_o action_n shall_v answer_v our_o word_n that_o what_o we_o say_v in_o our_o thanksgiving_n we_o shall_v do_v like_o it_o in_o all_o the_o course_n of_o our_o life_n and_o that_o we_o glorify_v god_n not_o only_o by_o offer_v praise_n but_o by_o order_v our_o conversation_n aright_o here_o be_v five_o thing_n observe_v first_o the_o malice_n of_o wicked_a man_n they_o be_v always_o wrathful_o displease_v at_o we_o second_o their_o endeavour_n to_o execute_v it_o when_o they_o rise_v up_o against_o we_o three_o the_o danger_n of_o god_n people_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o quick_a four_o god_n providence_n over_o they_o in_o appear_v on_o their_o side_n and_o last_o their_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n in_o their_o grateful_a acknowledgement_n of_o it_o of_o all_o these_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n chief_o to_o be_v consider_v which_o i_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o for_o my_o subject_n at_o this_o time_n the_o first_o be_v the_o malicious_a design_n of_o god_n enemy_n for_o the_o destruction_n of_o his_o people_n the_o second_o be_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n watch_v over_o his_o people_n to_o deliver_v they_o from_o he_o and_o their_o enemy_n both_o these_o i_o shall_v consider_v first_o in_o other_o instance_n and_o then_o in_o the_o gunpowder-treason_n it_o be_v that_o which_o perhaps_o of_o all_o other_o be_v the_o great_a that_o ever_o be_v it_o be_v that_o which_o particular_o concern_v we_o this_o day_n i_o shall_v show_v therefore_o first_o how_o great_a a_o danger_n it_o be_v how_o near_o the_o point_n of_o execution_n how_o then_o god_n appear_v for_o our_o deliverance_n how_o wonderful_a a_o deliverance_n it_o be_v and_o then_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o show_v our_o sense_n of_o it_o in_o our_o zeal_n for_o that_o religion_n which_o god_n be_v so_o concern_v for_o and_o in_o adorn_v it_o by_o a_o life_n that_o may_v be_v exemplary_a to_o all_o other_o christian_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o observe_v be_v the_o malice_n and_o spitefulness_n of_o wicked_a man_n the_o enemy_n of_o god_n their_o proneness_n to_o hurt_v and_o to_o destroy_v his_o church_n and_o all_o true_a member_n of_o it_o this_o as_o soon_o as_o i_o name_v it_o be_v confess_v on_o all_o hand_n for_o all_o party_n take_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o the_o worst_a sect_n among_o christian_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v they_o that_o take_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o only_a true_a church_n grant_v but_o this_o that_o they_o be_v the_o only_a true_a church_n and_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v with_o we_o for_o my_o doctrine_n they_o will_v acknowledge_v it_o and_o tell_v we_o we_o be_v instance_n of_o it_o that_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n hate_v his_o church_n and_o endeavour_v to_o destroy_v it_o but_o because_o this_o will_v signify_v nothing_o till_o it_o appear_v who_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n or_o at_o lest_o who_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v determine_v that_o by_o bring_v it_o to_o this_o issue_n that_o they_o who_o be_v most_o give_v to_o hate_v and_o to_o destroy_v other_o especial_o those_o other_o who_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o religion_n they_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o god_n or_o at_o least_o they_o be_v so_o far_o corrupt_v in_o that_o particular_a i_o may_v say_v this_o of_o man_n without_o any_o relation_n to_o the_o church_n the_o worse_a they_o be_v in_o other_o respect_n the_o more_o prone_a they_o be_v general_o to_o hate_v those_o that_o be_v better_o than_o themselves_o and_o to_o show_v it_o by_o do_v they_o all_o the_o mischief_n they_o be_v able_a whereas_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n good_a man_n be_v of_o gracious_a disposition_n they_o may_v be_v displease_v but_o not_o wrathful_o as_o it_o be_v in_o my_o text_n they_o be_v not_o prone_a to_o do_v mischief_n but_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v good_a even_o to_o enemy_n and_o the_o better_a they_o be_v the_o more_o they_o excel_v in_o these_o disposition_n a_o good_a man_n be_v the_o only_a true_a image_n of_o god_n who_o be_v good_a and_o do_v good_a to_o all_o his_o creature_n even_o to_o sinner_n who_o be_v so_o far_o from_o willing_a the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n that_o he_o do_v not_o willing_o grieve_v the_o child_n of_o man_n whereas_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o hate_v and_o to_o hurt_v and_o to_o destroy_v all_o that_o come_v in_o his_o
