saint_n and_o

we_o take_v saint_n paul_n golden_a counsel_n which_o he_o give_v to_o his_o corinthian_n let_v we_o judge_v nothing_o before_o the_o time_n until_o the_o lord_n come_v who_o will_v bring_v to_o light_v the_o hide_a thing_n of_o darkness_n and_o will_v make_v manifest_a the_o counsel_n of_o the_o heart_n 1_o cor._n 4._o 5._o let_v no_o man_n anticipate_v this_o judge_n take_v his_o office_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n by_o judge_v his_o brethren_n exact_a knowledge_n be_v requisite_a in_o a_o judge_n the_o eye_n of_o man_n be_v too_o dim_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o action_n of_o other_o because_o they_o can_v see_v into_o the_o heart_n their_o root_n or_o fountain_n for_o god_n alone_o be_v the_o searcher_n of_o the_o heart_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o holy_a man_n in_o this_o life_n be_v oft_o judge_v to_o be_v hypocrite_n when_o as_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o glister_a glow-worm_n of_o morality_n in_o this_o dark_a night_n of_o the_o world_n go_v under_o the_o the_o notion_n of_o holiness_n and_o integrity_n thus_o the_o righteous_a be_v condemn_v and_o the_o wicked_a ustify_v by_o those_o who_o judge_v after_o the_o light_n of_o their_o eye_n according_a to_o

to_o the_o far_o set_n home_n of_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v on_o this_o subject_n as_o almighty_a god_n have_v share_v his_o power_n in_o the_o create_v of_o thing_n his_o wisdom_n in_o the_o government_n of_o they_o his_o mercy_n in_o the_o restauration_n of_o fall_a man_n so_o he_o have_v reserve_v his_o justice_n in_o punish_v of_o wicked_a to_o be_v declare_v eminent_o on_o this_o day_n it_o be_v true_a the_o wicked_a meet_v often_o with_o some_o of_o god_n vengeance_n here_o in_o this_o life_n but_o that_o be_v only_o as_o the_o heat-drop_n to_o the_o swing_a shower_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o indignation_n which_o on_o this_o day_n will_v take_v hold_n upon_o they_o it_o be_v but_o the_o brief_a preface_n to_o the_o huge_a volume_n of_o misery_n that_o then_o will_v attain_v they_o for_o if_o he_o make_v such_o variety_n of_o thing_n to_o show_v his_o power_n so_o wonderful_o have_v qualify_v they_o as_o he_o have_v do_v to_o show_v his_o wisdom_n if_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v so_o much_o as_o he_o have_v do_v that_o he_o may_v manifest_v his_o mercy_n to_o all_o what_o think_v you_o will_v he_o do_v when_o he_o set_v himself_o about_o it_o make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o manifest_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o justice_n or_o if_o you_o will_v thus_o to_o make_v this_o day_n appear_v somewhat_o more_o dreadful_a yet_o if_o when_o he_o intend_v to_o show_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o mercy_n he_o the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v be_v bear_v in_o a_o stable_a lie_v in_o a_o manger_n converse_v with_o sinner_n here_o in_o the_o world_n and_o at_o length_n for_o wretched_a sinner_n be_v apprehend_v bind_v spit_v upon_o buffet_v crown_v with_o thorn_n ridiculous_o array_v bear_v his_o massy_a cross_n on_o his_o own_o shoulder_n and_o at_o last_o on_o it_o be_v crucify_a between_o two_o malefactor_n if_o i_o say_v the_o son_n of_o god_n deign_v to_o undergo_v such_o thing_n to_o the_o astonishment_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n man_n and_o angel_n and_o this_o to_o declare_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n then_o conceive_v if_o you_o can_v what_o he_o will_v do_v when_o he_o intend_v full_o to_o declare_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o justice_n keep_v with_o much_o long-suffering_a and_o patience_n till_o this_o great_a day_n if_o you_o will_v have_v this_o far_o illustrate_v then_o thus_o saint_n luke_n in_o his_o relation_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o saint_n paul_n conversion_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o 9_o chap._n of_o the_o act_n that_o after_o he_o be_v dismount_v he_o hear_v a_o
