unfeigned_o cry_v to_o he_o when_o he_o correct_v we_o and_o so_o shall_v we_o know_v in_o experience_n that_o our_o cry_n and_o complaint_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a but_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o the_o

people_n be_v not_o take_v away_o but_o still_o remain_v and_o continue_v blasphemer_n of_o god_n and_o troubler_n of_o his_o church_n but_o because_o i_o perceive_v the_o hour_n to_o pass_v more_o

account_n of_o all_o the_o blood_n thirsty_a tyrant_n of_o the_o earth_n first_o fight_v against_o the_o present_a despair_n he_o say_v thy_o dead_a shall_v live_v even_o my_o body_n or_o with_o my_o

when_o death_n appear_v to_o have_v devour_v they_o for_o thy_o dead_a shall_v live_v yea_o not_o only_o shall_v they_o live_v but_o my_o very_a dead_a carcase_n shall_v arise_v and_o so_o i_o see_v

i_o see_v that_o life_n shall_v devour_v death_n so_o that_o death_n shall_v be_v destroy_v and_o so_o thy_o servant_n shall_v have_v life_n this_o i_o say_v be_v the_o victory_n of_o faith_n when_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o death_n through_o the_o light_n of_o god_n word_n the_o afflict_a see_v life_n hypocrite_n in_o the_o time_n of_o quietness_n and_o prosperity_n can_v general_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v true_a in_o his_o promise_n but_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o extremity_n and_o there_o cease_v the_o hypocrite_n further_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n then_o he_o see_v natural_a mean_n whereby_o god_n use_v to_o work_v but_o the_o true_a faithful_a when_o all_o hope_n of_o natural_a mean_n fail_v then_o fly_v they_o to_o god_n himself_o and_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o promise_n

therewith_o let_v we_o further_o observe_v that_o the_o prophet_n here_o speak_v not_o of_o all_o dead_a in_o general_a but_o say_v thy_o dead_a o_o lord_n shall_v live_v in_o which_o word_n he_o make_v difference_n betwixt_o those_o that_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o those_o that_o die_v in_o their_o natural_a corruption_n and_o in_o the_o old_a adam_n dye_v in_o the_o lord_n can_v none_o except_o those_o that_o live_v in_o he_o i_o mean_v those_o that_o attain_v to_o the_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o none_o live_v in_o he_o but_o those_o that_o with_o the_o apostle_n can_v say_v i_o live_v and_o yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n jesus_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o the_o life_n that_o i_o now_o live_v 2._o i_o have_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n not_o that_o i_o mean_v that_o the_o faithful_a have_v at_o all_o hour_n such_o sense_n of_o the_o life_n everlasting_a that_o they_o fear_v not_o the_o death_n and_o the_o trouble_n of_o this_o life_n no_o not_o so_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o god_n child_n be_v weak_a yea_o and_o in_o many_o thing_n imperfect_a but_o i_o mean_v that_o such_o as_o in_o death_n and_o after_o death_n shall_v live_v must_v communicate_v in_o this_o life_n with_o jesus_n christ_n 1._o and_o must_v be_v regenerate_v by_o the_o seed_n of_o life_n that_o be_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o everliving_a god_n which_o whosoever_o despise_v refuse_v life_n and_o joy_n everlasting_a the_o prophet_n transfer_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o himself_o say_v even_o my_o dead_a body_n shall_v arise_v and_o immediate_o after_o give_v commandment_n and_o charge_n to_o the_o dweller_n in_o the_o dust_n that_o be_v to_o the_o dead_a carcase_n of_o those_o that_o be_v depart_v for_o the_o spirit_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n dwell_v not_o in_o the_o dust_n that_o they_o shall_v awake_v that_o they_o shall_v sing_v and_o rejoice_v for_o they_o shall_v arise_v and_o spring_v up_o from_o the_o earth_n even_o as_o the_o herb_n do_v after_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o dew_n from_o above_o time_n will_v not_o suffer_v that_o these_o particular_n be_v so_o large_o treat_v as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o as_o i_o glad_o will_v therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o the_o prophet_n in_o transfer_v the_o power_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o himself_o do_v not_o vindicate_v to_o himself_o any_o particular_a prerogative_n above_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o that_o he_o alone_o shall_v live_v and_o arise_v and_o not_o they_o also_o but_o he_o do_v it_o to_o let_v they_o understand_v that_o he_o teach_v a_o doctrine_n whereof_o he_o be_v certain_a yea_o and_o whereof_o they_o shall_v have_v experience_n after_o his_o death_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v my_o word_n appear_v to_o you_o now_o to_o be_v incredible_a but_o the_o day_n shall_v come_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v take_v from_o you_o my_o carcase_n shall_v be_v enclose_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o shall_v you_o be_v lead_v away_o captive_n to_o babylon_n where_o you_o shall_v remain_v many_o day_n and_o year_n as_o it_o be_v bury_v in_o your_o sepulcher_n but_o then_o call_v to_o

own_o country_n and_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n this_o i_o doubt_v not_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n the_o charge_n that_o he_o give_v to_o the_o dweller_n in_o the_o dust_n be_v to_o express_v the_o power_n of_o god_n word_n whereby_o he_o not_o only_o give_v life_n where_o death_n apparent_o have_v prevail_v but_o also_o by_o it_o he_o call_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o even_o

of_o the_o flesh_n or_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n now_o see_v that_o these_o be_v not_o of_o the_o father_n but_o of_o the_o world_n how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o our_o soul_n can_v feed_v upon_o chastity_n temperance_n and_o humility_n so_o long_o as_o that_o our_o stomach_n be_v replenish_v with_o the_o corruption_n of_o these_o vice_n now_o so_o it_o be_v that_o willing_o flesh_n can_v never_o refuse_v these_o forename_a but_o rather_o still_o delight_v itself_o in_o every_o one_o of_o they_o yea_o in_o they_o all_o as_o the_o example_n be_v but_o too_o evident_a it_o behove_v therefore_o that_o god_n himself_o shall_v violent_o pull_v his_o child_n from_o these_o venomous_a breast_n that_o when_o they_o lack_v the_o liquor_n and_o poison_n of_o the_o one_o they_o may_v visit_v he_o and_o learn_v to_o be_v nourish_v of_o he_o oh_o if_o the_o eye_n of_o worldly_a prince_n shall_v be_v open_v that_o they_o may_v see_v with_o what_o humour_n and_o liquor_n their_o soul_n be_v feed_v while_o that_o their_o whole_a delight_n consist_v in_o pride_n ambition_n and_o lust_n of_o the_o stink_a flesh_n we_o understand_v then_o how_o god_n do_v visit_v man_n as_o

now_o it_o rest_v to_o understand_v how_o man_n visit_v god_n man_n do_v visit_v god_n when_o he_o appear_v in_o his_o presence_n be_v it_o to_o the_o hear_n of_o his_o word_n or_o to_o the_o participation_n of_o his_o sacrament_n as_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n beside_o the_o observation_n of_o their_o sabbath_n and_o daily_a oblation_n be_v command_v thrice_o a_o year_n to_o present_v themselves_o before_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o as_o we_o do_v and_o as_o often_o as_o we_o present_v ourselves_o to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n for_o there_o be_v the_o footstool_n yea_o there_o be_v the_o face_n and_o throne_n of_o god_n himself_o wheresoever_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v true_o preach_v and_o his_o sacrament_n right_o minister_v but_o man_n may_v on_o this_o sort_n visit_v god_n hypocritical_o for_o they_o may_v come_v for_o the_o fashion_n they_o may_v hear_v with_o deaf_a ear_n yea_o they_o may_v understand_v and_o yet_o never_o determine_v with_o themselves_o to_o obey_v that_o which_o god_n require_v and_o let_v such_o man_n be_v assure_v that_o he_o who_o search_v the_o secret_n of_o heart_n will_v be_v avenge_v of_o all_o such_o for_o nothing_o can_v be_v to_o god_n more_o odious_a then_o to_o mock_v he_o in_o his_o own_o presence_n let_v every_o man_n therefore_o examine_v himself_o with_o what_o mind_n and_o what_o purpose_n he_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n yea_o with_o what_o ear_n he_o hear_v it_o and_o what_o testimony_n his_o heart_n give_v unto_o he_o when_o that_o god_n command_v virtue_n and_o forbid_v impiety_n repine_v thou_o when_o god_n require_v obedience_n thou_o hear_v to_o thy_o own_o condemnation_n mock_v thou_o at_o god_n threaten_n thou_o shall_v feel_v the_o weight_n and_o truth_n of_o they_o albeit_o too_o late_o when_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v deliver_v thou_o from_o his_o hand_n but_o the_o visitation_n whereof_o our_o prophet_n speak_v be_v only_o proper_a to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o in_o the_o time_n when_o god_n take_v from_o they_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n or_o show_v his_o angry_a countenance_n unto_o they_o have_v their_o recourse_n unto_o he_o and_o confess_v their_o former_a negligence_n with_o trouble_a heart_n cry_v for_o his_o mercy_n this_o visitation_n be_v not_o proper_a to_o all_o afflict_a but_o appertain_v only_o to_o god_n child_n for_o the_o reprobate_n can_v never_o have_v access_n to_o god_n mercy_n in_o time_n of_o their_o tribulation_n and_o that_o because_o they_o abuse_v as_o well_o his_o long_a patience_n as_o the_o manifold_a benefit_n they_o receive_v from_o his_o hand_n for_o as_o the_o same_o prophet_n heretofore_o say_v let_v the_o wicked_a obtain_v mercy_n yet_o shall_v he_o never_o learn_v wisdom_n but_o in_o the_o land_n of_o righteousness_n that_o be_v where_o the_o very_a knowledge_n of_o god_n abound_v he_o will_v do_v wicked_o which_o be_v a_o crime_n above_o all_o other_o abominable_a for_o to_o what_o end_n be_v it_o that_o god_n erect_v his_o throne_n among_o we_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v fear_v he_o why_o do_v he_o reaveal_v his_o holy_a will_n unto_o we_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v obey_v it_o why_o do_v he_o deliver_v we_o from_o trouble_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v witness_n unto_o the_o world_n that_o he_o be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a now_o when_o that_o man_n hear_v their_o duty_n and_o know_v what_o god_n require_v of_o they_o do_v malapert_o fight_v against_o all_o equity_n and_o justice_n what_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v they_o else_o but_o make_v manifest_a war_n against_o god_n yea_o when_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o god_n such_o deliverance_n that_o they_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o god_n himself_o have_v in_o his_o great_a mercy_n

may_v run_v to_o ruin_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n it_o be_v almost_o incredible_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o enrage_v against_o god_n that_o neither_o his_o plague_n nor_o yet_o his_o
