here_o i_o demand_v a_o answer_n to_o this_o question_n q._n be_v we_o not_o covenant-breaker_n do_v we_o not_o make_v the_o time_n perilous_a by_o our_o falsify_v of_o our_o oath_n and_o covenant_n with_o god_n in_o our_o covenant_n we_o swear_v to_o six_o thing_n 1._o that_o we_o will_v endeavour_v to_o be_v humble_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o where_o shall_v we_o find_v a_o mourner_n in_o england_n for_o his_o own_o abomination_n that_o be_v commit_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o we_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o find_v a_o censurer_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o land_n but_o hard_o to_o find_v a_o true_a mourner_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o land_n 2._o we_o swear_v that_o we_o will_v endeavour_v to_o go_v before_o one_o another_o in_o the_o example_n of_o a_o real_a reformation_n but_o who_o make_v conscience_n of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o oath_n what_o sin_n have_v thou_o leave_v or_o in_o what_o one_o thing_n have_v thou_o be_v reform_v since_o thou_o take_v this_o covenant_n we_o read_v ezra_n 10.7_o that_o they_o enter_v into_o covenant_n to_o put_v away_o their_o wife_n and_o their_o child_n by_o they_o which_o be_v a_o very_a difficult_a and_o hard_a duty_n and_o yet_o do_v they_o it_o but_o what_o bosom_n sin_n what_o belove_a sin_n as_o dear_a to_o thou_o as_o thy_o dear_a wife_n and_o child_n have_v thou_o leave_v for_o god_n sake_n since_o thou_o take_v this_o oath_n i_o read_v nehem._n 5.13_o that_o the_o people_n take_v a_o oath_n to_o make_v restitution_n which_o be_v a_o costly_a duty_n and_o yet_o they_o perform_v it_o say_v the_o text._n but_o alas_o where_o be_v the_o man_n that_o have_v make_v restitution_n of_o his_o ill_n get_v good_n since_o he_o take_v this_o covenant_n i_o read_v 2_o chron._n 15.16_o that_o king_n asa_n depose_v his_o mother_n maachah_n she_o even_o she_o from_o be_v queen_n after_o he_o have_v enter_v into_o covenant_n and_o that_o the_o people_n 2_o kin._n 11.18_o after_o they_o have_v swear_v a_o covenant_n break_v in_o piece_n all_o the_o altar_n of_o baal_n thorough_o but_o where_o be_v this_o thorough_a reformation_n this_o thorough_a amendment_n of_o life_n indeed_o here_o be_v much_o talk_n of_o a_o reformation_n but_o little_a practice_n of_o a_o reformation_n we_o say_v we_o fight_v for_o a_o reformation_n but_o i_o fear_v lest_o in_o a_o little_a time_n we_o shall_v fight_v away_o our_o reformation_n or_o if_o not_o fight_v it_o away_o yet_o we_o shall_v dispute_v it_o away_o for_o now_o all_o our_o religion_n be_v turn_v into_o vtrum_n into_o question_n insomuch_o as_o that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o call_v all_o religion_n into_o question_n and_o in_o a_o little_a while_n will_v loose_v all_o religion_n in_o the_o crowd_n of_o question_n inter_fw-la disputandum_fw-la veritas_fw-la &_o religio_fw-la amittitur_fw-la there_o be_v a_o time_n not_o many_o year_n ago_o when_o god_n do_v bless_v our_o ministry_n in_o the_o city_n to_o the_o conversion_n of_o many_o people_n unto_o god_n but_o now_o there_o be_v many_o that_o study_v more_o to_o gain_v party_n to_o themselves_o then_o to_o gain_v soul_n to_o god_n the_o great_a work_n of_o conversion_n be_v little_o think_v on_o and_o never_o so_o few_o if_o any_o at_o all_o convert_v as_o in_o these_o day_n wherein_o we_o talk_v so_o much_o of_o reformation_n and_o be_v this_o to_o keep_v covenant_n with_o god_n 3._o we_o swear_v to_o endeavour_v to_o amend_v the_o life_n and_o reform_v not_o only_a ourselves_o but_o also_o those_o that_o be_v under_o our_o charge_n but_o where_o be_v this_o family-reformation_n indeed_o i_o read_v of_o jacob_n that_o when_o he_o go_v to_o perform_v his_o vow_n and_o covenant_n he_o first_o reform_v his_o family_n gen._n 35.3_o and_o that_o joshua_n resolve_v and_o perform_v it_o for_o himself_o and_o his_o family_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o so_o do_v josiah_n 2_o chron._n 34._o and_o ●h_a that_o i_o can_v add_v and_o so_o

since_o the_o covenant_n th●n_v before_o we_o speak_v and_o contend_v much_o for_o a_o church-reformation_n but_o how_o can_v there_o be_v a_o church-reformation_n unless_o there_o be_v a_o family-reformation_n what_o though_o the_o church-worship_n be_v pure_a yet_o if_o the_o worshipper_n be_v impure_a god_n will_v not_o accept_v of_o the_o worship_n and_o if_o family_n be_v not_o
