enter_v into_o the_o ear_n of_o the_o almighty_a lord_n how_o long_o will_v thou_o look_v on_o how_o long_a lord_n forever_o arise_v o_o god_n in_o thy_o righteousness_n and_o make_v bare_a thy_o arm_n to_o judgement_n behold_v the_o child_n of_o man_n be_v all_o backslider_n they_o encourage_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o wickedness_n and_o say_v tush_o god_n shall_v not_o see_v but_o arise_v o_o lord_n in_o thy_o fury_n and_o scatter_v they_o in_o thy_o indignation_n for_o there_o be_v none_o that_o deal_v righteous_o and_o loves_n judgement_n no_o there_o be_v not_o one_o godly_a man_n leave_v this_o be_v the_o cry_n of_o a_o public_a national_a gild_n that_o be_v of_o unpunished_a spread_a and_o triumph_v vice_n and_o atheism_n the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v that_o the_o community_n shall_v suffer_v and_o the_o punishment_n become_v as_o general_a as_o the_o offence_n his_o wisdom_n equity_n and_o providence_n be_v then_o at_o stake_n and_o must_v be_v make_v good_a by_o a_o visible_a and_o public_a execution_n of_o justice_n which_o come_v down_o upon_o a_o nation_n in_o famine_n or_o pestilence_n in_o the_o sword_n in_o earthquake_n and_o in_o other_o great_a desolation_n which_o be_v the_o usual_a judgement_n of_o heaven_n and_o terrible_a vial_n of_o god_n wrath_n pour_v out_o upon_o a_o sinful_a land_n and_o pollute_a people_n and_o let_v we_o not_o deceive_v ourselves_o there_o be_v family_n sin_n as_o well_o as_o national_a and_o the_o same_o rule_n hold_v with_o proportion_n in_o every_o private_a household_n and_o lesser_a company_n of_o evil-doer_n but_o the_o more_o populous_a the_o society_n be_v the_o great_a be_v the_o danger_n in_o permit_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o people_n to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o gate_n of_o the_o city_n and_o to_o walk_v our_o street_n public_o for_o there_o be_v as_o certain_a a_o contagion_n in_o some_o sort_n of_o sin_n which_o man_n catch_v by_o look_v on_o as_o there_o be_v in_o some_o disease_n these_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v suppress_v if_o they_o can_v be_v whole_o extinguish_v that_o they_o may_v be_v like_o those_o subterranean_a fire_n which_o burn_v slow_a and_o prey_n only_o upon_o their_o own_o fuel_n while_o pen_v within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o when_o they_o once_o take_v air_n break_v out_o into_o a_o flame_n lay_v all_o thing_n before_o they_o in_o ruin_n and_o there_o be_v no_o great_a difficulty_n if_o we_o know_v but_o our_o own_o strength_n to_o keep_v any_o sin_n thus_o far_o at_o least_o under_o our_o foot_n for_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a shame_n which_o attend_v every_o dishonest_a action_n vice_n be_v conscious_a of_o its_o own_o deformity_n and_o loathsomeness_n and_o by_o instinct_n require_v darkness_n and_o a_o vizor_n but_o it_o may_v be_v flatter_v by_o great_a example_n into_o a_o good_a opinion_n of_o its_o own_o excellency_n it_o may_v be_v cherish_v by_o complaisance_n and_o and_o harden_v by_o familiarity_n into_o such_o a_o impudence_n as_o to_o appear_v before_o the_o sun_n and_o without_o its_o mask_n however_o since_o god_n and_o nature_n have_v stamp_a shame_n upon_o every_o vice_n let_v we_o know_v our_o own_o right_a and_o dominion_n over_o it_o and_o keep_v it_o within_o its_o natural_a bound_n of_o shame_n let_v every_o honest_a and_o virtuous_a man_n set_v his_o face_n direct_o and_o bold_o against_o atheism_n profaneness_n and_o immorality_n assure_v himself_o that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n so_o dare_v and_o hardy_a which_o a_o man_n resolutely-good_a and_o pious_a may_v not_o dash_v out_o of_o countenance_n and_o strike_v into_o confusion_n i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o brethren_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o you_o to_o do_v this_o and_o that_o it_o be_v just_a to_o use_v all_o the_o power_n which_o the_o law_n have_v vest_v in_o you_o to_o restrain_v all_o such_o immorality_n for_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v your_o duty_n and_o believe_v i_o it_o behoove_v we_o all_o to_o consider_v serious_o the_o several_a opportunity_n and_o advantage_n god_n have_v put_v into_o our_o hand_n to_o discourage_v and_o prohibit_v atheism_n profaneness_n and_o debauchery_n and_o faithful_o to_o discharge_v our_o duty_n herein_o for_o this_o likewise_o be_v one_o way_n of_o make_v other_o man_n vice_n our_o own_o when_o they_o thrive_v and_o propagate_v by_o our_o connivance_n for_o be_v we_o well_o assure_v that_o whosoever_o have_v it_o in_o his_o power_n to_o forbid_v and_o hinder_v a_o sin_n and_o do_v not_o when_o he_o can_v he_o invite_v and_o command_v it_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v you_o how_o powerful_a and_o influential_a example_n be_v in_o most_o thing_n we_o do_v how_o effectual_o that_o teach_v and_o how_o addict_v we_o be_v to_o learn_v and_o that_o therefore_o it_o do_v concern_v we_o all_o very_a much_o to_o set_v forth_o ourselves_o example_n of_o virtue_n and_o holiness_n and_o that_o of_o consequence_n it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o restrain_v all_o example_n of_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n in_o other_o man_n to_o the_o utmost_a of_o our_o power_n when_o you_o shall_v do_v this_o brethren_n you_o be_v then_o what_o our_o bless_a saviour_n require_v his_o disciple_n to_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n which_o shine_v before_o man_n and_o the_o salt_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o have_v not_o lose_v its_o savour_n i_o will_v conclude_v with_o some_o serious_a consideration_n upon_o the_o whole_a 1._o we_o must_v not_o expect_v from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o the_o ill_a example_n of_o other_o man_n shall_v excuse_v the_o follower_n though_o it_o will_v most_o certain_o condemn_v the_o author_n of_o it_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o ready_o catch_v at_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o excuse_n for_o sin_v and_o so_o lie_v hold_v upon_o this_o pretence_n the_o woman_n say_v adam_n who_o thou_o give_v i_o give_v one_o of_o the_o tree_n and_o i_o do_v eat_v but_o yet_o neither_o the_o woman_n temptation_n exempt_v adam_n from_o the_o punishment_n nor_o the_o serpent_n temptation_n the_o woman_n and_o as_o long_o as_o we_o have_v a_o judgement_n right_o inform_v to_o discern_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o be_v constant_o instruct_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n what_o be_v the_o bound_n of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o what_o we_o be_v to_o do_v and_o what_o to_o avoid_v other_o man_n deviation_n can_v be_v no_o real_a excuse_n for_o our_o transgress_v when_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v chalk_v i_o out_o the_o path_n of_o virtue_n and_o holiness_n which_o i_o be_o to_o walk_v in_o it_o be_v my_o own_o fault_n and_o the_o proneness_n of_o my_o own_o vicious_a inclination_n if_o i_o follow_v he_o that_o show_v i_o other_o way_n by_o this_o god_n have_v give_v i_o sufficient_a light_n to_o secure_v i_o against_o error_n and_o if_o i_o be_o mislead_v i_o seduce_v myself_o all_o man_n will_v commiserate_v the_o sad_a fate_n of_o a_o blindman_n to_o be_v lead_v by_o other_o unknowing_o to_o the_o edge_n of_o a_o precipice_n and_o to_o break_v himself_o in_o piece_n by_o his_o fall_n from_o thence_o but_o they_o will_v condemn_v it_o for_o self-murder_n in_o one_o that_o be_v not_o blind_a remember_v therefore_o young_a man_n that_o whosoever_o have_v eye_n lead_v himself_o to_o his_o own_o ruin_n even_o when_o he_o follow_v another_o that_o tempt_v he_o to_o it_o 2._o if_o we_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o certainty_n of_o a_o future_a state_n and_o of_o the_o reward_n and_o punishment_n after_o death_n no_o argument_n can_v be_v more_o forcible_a against_o our_o tempt_v other_o to_o wickedness_n than_o this_o consideration_n that_o by_o the_o same_o act_n we_o increase_v our_o own_o gild_n and_o mighty_o further_a our_o brother_n damnation_n know_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o they_o which_o commit_v these_o thing_n be_v worthy_a of_o death_n and_o yet_o not_o only_o do_v the_o same_o but_o have_v pleasure_n in_o they_o that_o do_v they_o those_o indeed_o who_o have_v go_v so_o far_o beyond_o the_o bound_n of_o shame_n know_v no_o measure_n it_o be_v the_o less_o wonder_n therefore_o that_o their_o own_o and_o other_o man_n sin_n become_v their_o triumph_n and_o sport_n that_o they_o magnify_v themselves_o upon_o their_o victory_n in_o the_o list_n of_o some_o beastly_a vice_n and_o make_v it_o their_o mirth_n to_o have_v be_v successful_a in_o tempt_v other_o in_o have_v compass_v sea_n and_o land_n to_o gain_v one_o proselyte_n who_o they_o make_v manifold_n more_o the_o child_n of_o hell_n than_o themselves_o but_o the_o commonness_n of_o this_o sin_n can_v exc●se_v it_o when_o serious_o consider_v it_o be_v but_o a_o melancholy_a subject_n for_o mirth_n and_o a_o most_o shameful_a one_o to_o boast_v of_o for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o part_n of_o a_o honest_a man_n
