to_o raise_v they_o again_o to_o preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n three_o to_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o sanctification_n these_o three_o humiliation_n justification_n and_o sanctification_n be_v the_o three_o main_a thing_n wherein_o our_o condition_n to_o god_n consist_v therefore_o my_o intent_n be_v to_o go_v through_o these_o three_o and_o we_o will_v do_v it_o brief_o begin_v with_o this_o text_n which_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n the_o occasion_n whereof_o be_v this_o paul_n tell_v the_o roman_n that_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o come_v to_o they_o but_o what_o shall_v he_o do_v there_o he_o will_v preach_v the_o gospel_n yea_o but_o it_o be_v a_o ignominious_a thing_n to_o be_v a_o christian_n a_o thing_n that_o will_v expose_v he_o to_o much_o persecution_n and_o shame_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n say_v he_o i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o gospel_n for_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n but_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o gospel_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v that_o be_v there_o be_v no_o way_n in_o the_o world_n for_o man_n to_o be_v justify_v to_o be_v count_v righteous_a before_o god_n but_o to_o have_v a_o righteousness_n reveal_v from_o heaven_n even_o another_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n than_o any_o man_n have_v in_o himself_o a_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n a_o righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o be_v impute_v to_o man_n and_o this_o say_v he_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o the_o gospel_n only_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n but_o here_o come_v the_o great_a question_n why_o be_v it_o needful_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a kind_n of_o righteousness_n reveal_v a_o righteousness_n wrought_v by_o another_o and_o make_v we_o only_o but_o by_o imputation_n say_v he_o it_o must_v be_v so_o else_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v save_v every_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v condemn_v for_o all_o man_n be_v unrighteous_a every_o man_n be_v full_a of_o all_o impiety_n and_o wickedness_n which_o he_o deliver_v in_o this_o verse_n thence_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o have_v the_o gospel_n reveal_v for_o that_o be_v it_o that_o reveal_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ._n a_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v only_o wrought_v by_o christ_n and_o will_v only_o stand_v out_o before_o the_o judgement-seat_n of_o god_n so_o that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o word_n be_v to_o convince_v man_n to_o show_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o have_v no_o righteousness_n of_o their_o own_o to_o assure_v they_o that_o if_o they_o stand_v in_o the_o condition_n they_o be_v in_o by_o nature_n they_o remain_v in_o condemnation_n for_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o there_o need_v no_o new_a condemnation_n ult_n if_o he_o have_v not_o the_o son_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v on_o he_o 1._o so_o that_o the_o main_a thing_n in_o these_o word_n be_v this_o assertion_n unrighteousness_n that_o man_n nature_n be_v full_a of_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n two_o thing_n be_v charge_v upon_o man_n nature_n first_o a_o fullness_n of_o all_o kind_n of_o sin_n against_o god_n second_o of_o all_o injustice_n and_o unrighteousness_n to_o man_n one_o touch_v the_o first_o table_n the_o other_o the_o second_o now_o when_o he_o say_v all_o ungodliness_n and_o all_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o in_o man_n nature_n there_o be_v all_o kind_n of_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o again_o that_o be_v to_o be_v mark_v unrighteousness_n of_o man_n he_o set_v it_o down_o in_o general_a because_o he_o speak_v it_o of_o all_o man_n none_o except_v so_o you_o must_v take_v both_o in_o every_o man_n none_o except_v be_v full_a of_o all_o unrighteousness_n all_o impiety_n all_o part_n of_o impiety_n all_o kind_n of_o unrighteousness_n be_v find_v in_o he_o but_o how_o will_v this_o be_v prove_v he_o prove_v it_o by_o two_o argument_n first_o because_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v against_o every_o man_n and_o god_n be_v a_o just_a judge_n his_o wrath_n will_v not_o be_v kindle_v against_o man_n except_o there_o be_v just_a cause_n and_o that_o be_v one_o argument_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o man_n say_v he_o it_o be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n whence_o three_o thing_n may_v be_v note_v for_o thence_o you_o may_v see_v the_o evidence_n of_o his_o wrath_n it_o be_v reveal_v and_o second_o the_o sureness_n of_o it_o it_o come_v from_o heaven_n and_o god_n will_v be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n and_o three_o the_o terriblenesse_n of_o it_o it_o be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n for_o when_o god_n be_v say_v to_o sit_v in_o heaven_n and_o to_o laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v and_o 2_o cor._n 6._o to_o sit_v in_o heaven_n it_o argue_v he_o do_v thing_n powerful_o but_o you_o will_v ask_v how_o be_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n reveal_v from_o heaven_n it_o be_v reveal_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n every_o man_n have_v so_o much_o light_n in_o he_o as_o to_o know_v that_o he_o deserve_v wrath_n and_o judgement_n and_o punishment_n and_o partly_o it_o be_v reveal_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o partly_o by_o continual_a experience_n god_n be_v ever_o and_o anon_o execute_v his_o wrath_n and_o judgement_n on_o sinner_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o argument_n the_o second_o argument_n to_o prove_v their_o unrighteousness_n be_v because_o they_o withhold_a the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n and_o here_o be_v a_o secret_a objection_n answer_v for_o it_o may_v be_v object_v there_o be_v many_o excellent_a thing_n in_o man_n as_o your_o moral_a philosopher_n have_v they_o not_o much_o light_n in_o their_o understanding_n much_o rectitude_n in_o their_o life_n do_v they_o not_o practise_v many_o moral_a virtue_n that_o be_v all_o one_o it_o will_v but_o increase_v their_o condemnation_n it_o be_v god_n work_n to_o put_v so_o much_o light_n so_o many_o excellent_a thing_n in_o they_o which_o have_v they_o use_v as_o they_o shall_v and_o might_n those_o principle_n will_v have_v shed_v themselves_o into_o their_o whole_a soul_n and_o conversation_n but_o they_o imprison_v they_o shut_v they_o up_o within_o the_o wall_n of_o their_o conscience_n man_n do_v not_o use_v the_o light_n they_o have_v nor_o improve_v it_o they_o do_v not_o bring_v it_o out_o in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n but_o withhold_a it_o in_o unrighteousness_n so_o that_o in_o the_o word_n there_o be_v three_o point_n lay_v down_o all_o which_o will_v help_v exceed_o to_o humble_v we_o first_o that_o man_n nature_n be_v full_a of_o all_o impiety_n and_o unrighteousness_n the_o second_o be_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n will_v sure_o fall_v on_o man_n for_o this_o if_o sin_n go_v alone_o it_o will_v not_o so_o much_o amaze_v man_n but_o when_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v too_o accompany_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o wrath_n man_n out_o of_o self-love_n will_v be_v move_v therewith_o the_o three_o that_o all_o the_o good_a in_o a_o man_n before_o his_o regeneration_n serve_v only_o to_o help_v forward_o his_o condemnation_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o handle_n of_o these_o point_n one_o point_n we_o must_v needs_o observe_v out_o of_o the_o method_n of_o the_o apostle_n this_o that_o he_o say_v here_o in_o few_o word_n be_v amplify_v to_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o three_o chapter_n all_o which_o time_n he_o spend_v in_o express_v particular_o how_o man_n nature_n be_v full_a of_o impiety_n and_o unrighteousness_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v that_o he_o urge_v justification_n by_o christ_n and_o after_o that_o he_o come_v to_o sanctification_n wherein_o the_o apostle_n method_n be_v very_o observable_a and_o therefore_o from_o his_o method_n before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o main_a we_o will_v brief_o deliver_v this_o point_n doct._n that_o humiliation_n must_v go_v before_o justification_n you_o may_v observe_v it_o from_o the_o method_n use_v man_n must_v first_o be_v convince_v of_o their_o impiety_n and_o unrighteousness_n before_o they_o can_v be_v fit_a to_o receive_v the_o gospel_n as_o the_o physician_n have_v their_o method_n in_o cure_v first_o to_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v the_o body_n and_o then_o to_o give_v cordial_n so_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o divinity_n you_o must_v be_v humble_v before_o you_o can_v be_v justify_v or_o humiliation_n go_v before_o justification_n which_o may_v be_v gather_v not_o only_o from_o this_o but_o likewise_o from_o many_o other_o place_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v the_o course_n god_n take_v every_o where_o with_o man_n and_o it_o be_v

i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o revelation_n of_o wrath_n from_o heaven_n against_o all_o unrighteousness_n wherein_o mark_v two_o thing_n wrath_n first_o the_o certainty_n of_o this_o wrath_n it_o shall_v come_v on_o all_o that_o be_v unrighteous_a and_o second_o what_o this_o wrath_n be_v i_o will_v but_o brief_o name_v the_o head_n and_o dispatch_v the_o point_n it_o first_o i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o certainty_n in_o it_o for_o god_n have_v reveal_v it_o from_o heaven_n rom._n 2.15_o they_o have_v thought_n accuse_v and_o excuse_v they_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o deserve_v wrath_n judgement_n strike_v they_o with_o fear_n second_o it_o appear_v by_o experience_n there_o be_v many_o step_n many_o print_n and_o vestigia_fw-la of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n continual_o last_o by_o the_o scripture_n curse_v be_v every_o one_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o the_o whole_a law_n to_o do_v it_o and_o as_o the_o law_n so_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v it_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n heart_n according_a to_o my_o gospel_n nay_o it_o be_v a_o old_a truth_n deliver_v before_o the_o scripture_n as_o in_o judes_n epistle_n enoch_n preach_v behold_v the_o lord_n shall_v come_v with_o ten_o thousand_o of_o angel_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o this_o will_v not_o persuade_v we_o will_v reason_n with_o you_o a_o little_a for_o it_o be_v not_o needless_a to_o strengthen_v these_o common_a truth_n with_o reason_n because_o we_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o they_o enough_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n man_n live_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o consider_v if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n he_o be_v not_o a_o negligent_a a_o idle_a or_o unactive_a god_n for_o shall_v he_o be_v such_o a_o god_n he_o must_v either_o be_v dead_a or_o asleep_a but_o god_n be_v a_o live_a god_n and_o if_o so_o then_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n now_o in_o that_o the_o main_a business_n be_v to_o punish_v and_o restrain_v they_o that_o be_v evil_a and_o to_o reward_v they_o that_o be_v good_a again_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n he_o will_v be_v fear_v and_o worship_v by_o man_n but_o if_o he_o will_v not_o punish_v man_n for_o sin_n if_o his_o wrath_n can_v not_o be_v kindle_v against_o they_o for_o their_o provocation_n of_o he_o he_o shall_v do_v neither_o good_a nor_o hurt_n and_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o man_n to_o condemn_v that_o that_o can_v neither_o hurt_v nor_o profit_v they_o and_o so_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v fear_v again_o if_o there_o be_v any_o god_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v delight_v in_o goodness_n he_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o certain_a inclination_n to_o that_o which_o be_v holy_a and_o right_a and_o if_o so_o than_o he_o must_v needs_o hate_v that_o that_o be_v evil_a if_o he_o love_v light_a he_o must_v needs_o hate_v darkness_n if_o he_o love_v life_n he_o must_v needs_o hate_v death_n and_o indeed_o love_v of_o goodness_n proceed_v from_o hatred_n of_o evil_a and_o hatred_n of_o evil_n arise_v from_o love_n of_o goodness_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o why_o shall_v not_o hatred_n be_v active_a as_o well_o as_o love_v therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a there_o shall_v wrath_n come_v against_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n observable_a second_o what_o kind_n of_o wrath_n be_v this_o in_o this_o wrath_n you_o shall_v observe_v three_o thing_n first_o there_o be_v a_o treasure_n of_o this_o wrath_n rom._n 2.5_o treasure_n thou_o according_a to_o the_o hardness_n of_o thy_o heart_n that_o can_v repent_v treasure_v up_o wrath_n now_o in_o a_o treasure_n you_o shall_v find_v three_o thing_n first_o it_o be_v a_o heap_n and_o there_o be_v still_o a_o addition_n thereto_o a_o man_n grow_v rich_a and_o rich_a save_v shilling_n and_o penny_n and_o they_o still_o add_v to_o the_o heap_n so_o god_n add_v to_o the_o heap_n of_o his_o wrath_n as_o man_n add_v sin_n he_o add_v drop_n to_o his_o viol_n and_o when_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v full_a than_o the_o viol_n of_o his_o wrath_n be_v full_a it_o be_v still_o increase_v let_v not_o a_o man_n think_v that_o when_o he_o be_v over_o the_o shoe_n he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o for_o wrath_n receive_v addition_n second_o treasure_n be_v close_o and_o cover_v there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o they_o for_o the_o present_a it_o be_v therefore_o say_v wrath_n be_v ●owne_n for_o the_o wicked_a as_o joy_n be_v sow_v for_o the_o righteous_a it_o lie_v under_o the_o ground_n for_o a_o time_n therefore_o do_v not_o say_v god_n be_v slack_a because_o you_o find_v not_o his_o wrath_n present_o pour_v forth_o it_o be_v not_o slackness_n but_o patience_n and_o if_o you_o do_v of_o negligence_n sin_n and_o god_n mark_n it_o not_o but_o be_v patient_a towards_o you_o and_o suffer_v you_o know_v that_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v that_o patience_n of_o he_o to_o be_v abuse_v but_o for_o every_o hour_n that_o you_o spend_v after_o the_o commission_n of_o a_o sin_n without_o return_v to_o god_n you_o shall_v fare_v the_o worse_o revel_v 2.20_o i_o give_v her_o space_n to_o repent_v and_o she_o do_v not_o what_o then_o therefore_o i_o will_v cast_v she_o into_o great_a tribulation_n so_o that_o as_o god_n be_v angry_a and_o as_o his_o wrath_n increase_v so_o it_o lie_v hide_v for_o a_o time_n three_o there_o be_v a_o expense_n of_o treasure_n in_o time_n of_o need_n they_o bring_v they_o forth_o and_o use_v they_o so_o do_v god_n partly_o in_o this_o life_n when_o he_o shall_v smite_v a_o man_n with_o destruction_n that_o shall_v quite_o sweep_v he_o away_o as_o he_o do_v saul_n and_o judas_n partly_o and_o special_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v which_o be_v call_v the_o declaration_n of_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v then_o be_v declare_v which_o be_v now_o for_o a_o time_n hide_v second_o it_o as_o there_o be_v a_o treasure_n of_o his_o wrath_n so_o there_o be_v a_o power_n of_o his_o wrath_n psal._n 90.11_o who_o know_v the_o power_n of_o thy_o anger_n that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o a_o wrath_n like_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n but_o a_o wrath_n that_o have_v much_o power_n it_o it_o so_o that_o look_v how_o much_o god_n be_v strong_a than_o man_n so_o much_o do_v his_o wrath_n exceed_v the_o wrath_n of_o man_n god_n show_v all_o his_o power_n in_o execute_v his_o justice_n on_o the_o wicked_a therefore_o it_o be_v say_v rom._n 9.22_o what_o if_o god_n willing_a to_o show_v his_o wrath_n and_o to_o make_v his_o power_n know_v endure_v with_o much_o long-suffering_a the_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n fit_v to_o destruction_n that_o be_v he_o will_v show_v his_o mighty_a power_n in_o punish_v they_o as_o he_o show_v the_o great_a riches_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n on_o the_o saint_n god_n be_v know_v by_o execute_v judgement_n and_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n be_v know_v by_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o punishment_n inflict_v and_o you_o shall_v know_v he_o to_o be_v a_o almighty_a god_n aswell_o in_o punishment_n as_o in_o mercy_n there_o be_v a_o transcendent_a power_n exercise_v in_o one_o aswell_o as_o in_o the_o other_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v who_o know_v the_o power_n of_o his_o wrath_n you_o know_v the_o wrath_n of_o a_o king_n be_v great_a because_o he_o be_v powerful_a and_o how_o much_o the_o power_n of_o god_n exceed_v the_o power_n of_o a_o king_n so_o much_o his_o wrath_n exceed_v the_o wrath_n of_o a_o king_n it_o be_v therefore_o compare_v to_o a_o consume_a fire_n that_o devour_v all_o to_o the_o wind_n that_o break_v the_o rock_n in_o sunder_o and_o to_o a_o overflow_a river_n that_o carry_v all_o away_o with_o it_o consider_v god_n therefore_o in_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o power_n for_o such_o be_v he_o in_o his_o wrath_n it_o three_o consider_v the_o suddenness_n of_o it_o it_o come_v sudden_o on_o man_n and_o that_o make_v it_o the_o more_o fearful_a if_o god_n give_v warning_n it_o be_v another_o case_n but_o he_o surprise_v man_n before_o they_o be_v aware_a it_o be_v true_a that_o damnation_n sleep_v not_o but_o travel_n as_o fast_o as_o thyself_o and_o will_v meet_v with_o thou_o at_o thy_o journey_n end_v but_o man_n know_v it_o not_o therefore_o when_o you_o see_v this_o to_o be_v your_o case_n what_o make_v you_o secure_a you_o feel_v it_o not_o you_o have_v no_o sense_n of_o evil_a you_o live_v by_o sense_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n but_o consider_v wrath_n come_v
