against_o we_o be_v very_o many_o yet_o we_o against_o god_n be_v vast_o more_o numerous_a if_o not_o rather_o without_o number_n who_o can_v tell_v how_o oft_o he_o offend_v be_v holy_a david_n question_n and_o it_o plain_o imply_v that_o no_o man_n can_v tell_v for_o his_o own_o part_n though_o he_o be_v the_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n yet_o he_o fair_o acknowledge_v that_o his_o sin_n be_v more_o in_o number_n than_o the_o hair_n of_o his_o head_n and_o what_o then_o must_v we_o think_v of_o ourselves_o who_o come_v far_o short_a of_o his_o piety_n and_o integrity_n again_o be_v our_o neighbour_n sin_n against_o we_o very_o heinous_a and_o provoke_a we_o against_o god_n be_v infinite_o more_o so_o and_o that_o upon_o these_o two_o account_n the_o infinite_a distance_n between_o god_n and_o we_o the_o mighty_a obligation_n we_o have_v receive_v from_o god_n and_o these_o be_v such_o aggravation_n of_o our_o sin_n against_o god_n as_o our_o neighbour_n offence_n against_o ourselves_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o for_o as_o for_o man_n they_o be_v all_o but_o fellow-creature_n and_o though_o there_o be_v order_n and_o superiority_n among_o they_o yet_o the_o distance_n bear_v no_o proportion_n with_o the_o infinite_a and_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n whereby_o god_n be_v exalt_v above_o the_o son_n of_o man_n if_o we_o also_o compare_v the_o benefit_n we_o receive_v from_o god_n with_o what_o we_o confer_v upon_o one_o another_o even_o those_o also_o bear_v no_o resemblance_n and_o therefore_o can_v aggravate_v our_o neighbour_n trespass_n against_o we_o in_o any_o proportion_n with_o our_o offence_n against_o god_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o that_o if_o our_o sin_n against_o god_n both_o for_o the_o number_n and_o aggravation_n of_o they_o be_v infinite_o great_a than_o the_o great_a of_o our_o neighbour_n injury_n can_v be_v how_o unreasonable_o we_o demean_v ourselves_o if_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n while_o we_o deny_v forgiveness_n to_o our_o brother_n for_o the_o lesser_a offence_n we_o have_v suffer_v at_o his_o hand_n do_v you_o as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v by_o be_v the_o common_a rule_n of_o equity_n will_v you_o therefore_o that_o god_n shall_v show_v mercy_n to_o you_o be_v you_o also_o merciful_a to_o your_o fellow-creature_n this_o be_v the_o great_a equity_n and_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n and_o god_n will_v certain_o deal_v with_o we_o according_a to_o that_o rule_n so_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o s._n matt._n vi_fw-la 14_o 15._o if_o you_o forgive_v man_n their_o trespass_n your_o heavenly_a father_n will_v also_o forgive_v you_o but_o if_o you_o forgive_v not_o man_n their_o trespass_n neither_o will_v your_o heavenly_a father_n forgive_v your_o trespass_n and_o elsewhere_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v judgement_n without_o mercy_n who_o have_v show_v no_o mercy_n and_o now_o i_o will_v beseech_v 13._o james_n 11._o 13._o the_o malicious_a and_o revengeful_a man_n if_o he_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v calm_a to_o consider_v with_o himself_o whether_o he_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v those_o everlasting_a pain_n which_o be_v reserve_v for_o those_o to_o who_o god_n refuse_v to_o show_v mercy_n if_o he_o can_v let_v he_o consider_v further_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o his_o great_a interest_n to_o agree_v with_o his_o adversary_n quick_o while_o he_o be_v in_o the_o way_n with_o he_o to_o seek_v reconciliation_n with_o he_o to_o forgive_v he_o pray_v for_o he_o and_o do_v he_o good_a that_o he_o also_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o that_o mercy_n from_o god_n which_o be_v not_o attainable_a by_o we_o unless_o we_o from_o our_o heart_n forgive_v every_o man_n his_o brother_n their_o

of_o his_o own_o sin_n if_o he_o that_o be_v but_o flesh_n nourish_v hatred_n who_o shall_v entreat_v for_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n serm._n ii_o 1_o cor._n four_o part_n of_o the_o 5._o verse_n judge_v nothing_o before_o the_o time_n until_o the_o lord_n come_v the_o belief_n of_o our_o saviour_n second_o come_n as_o it_o have_v a_o general_a influence_n upon_o all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o christian_a conversation_n so_o more_o peculiar_o do_v it_o serve_v to_o dissuade_v we_o from_o that_o uncharitable_a temper_n so_o prevail_v among_o man_n of_o judge_v and_o censure_v the_o rest_n of_o our_o brethren_n and_o be_v frequent_o insist_v on_o by_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n as_o a_o most_o effectual_a and_o cogent_a argument_n against_o it_o for_o the_o better_a enforcement_n therefore_o of_o this_o prohibition_n so_o frequent_a in_o the_o gospel_n i_o shall_v inquire_v 1._o what_o that_o judgement_n be_v that_o be_v here_o so_o universal_o forbid_v 2._o the_o particular_a force_n of_o the_o argument_n here_o use_v to_o dissuade_v we_o from_o it_o because_o the_o lord_n come_v 3._o i_o shall_v show_v the_o great_a unreasonableness_n of_o it_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o understand_v that_o the_o judgement_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o judicial_a proceed_n either_o in_o matter_n civil_a or_o ecclesiastical_a and_o this_o if_o from_o no_o other_o argument_n may_v appear_v from_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o judicial_a power_n to_o the_o well-being_n and_o support_v of_o humane_a society_n for_o that_o civil_a society_n can_v subsist_v in_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n without_o sufficient_a authority_n reside_v in_o some_o person_n above_o other_o to_o determine_v controversy_n between_o man_n and_o man_n and_o to_o execute_v punishment_n upon_o those_o that_o offer_v violence_n to_o their_o neighbour_n be_v too_o plain_a to_o be_v insist_v on_o for_o that_o bad_a man_n be_v vast_o more_o numerous_a than_o good_a and_o that_o such_o who_o have_v no_o sense_n of_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o be_v restrain_v from_o evil_a but_o by_o the_o severity_n of_o wholesome_a law_n and_o the_o due_a execution_n of_o they_o and_o that_o this_o can_v be_v without_o judicial_a authority_n every_o man_n experience_n may_v convince_v he_o if_o therefore_o we_o consider_v that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o confusion_n but_o of_o order_n and_o that_o he_o design_v man_n for_o society_n and_o mutual_a support_n of_o each_o other_o in_o it_o we_o can_v persuade_v ourselves_o that_o any_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v tend_v to_o the_o subversion_n of_o it_o which_o the_o take_v away_o judicial_a proceed_n will_v certain_o do_v nay_o rather_o since_o order_n and_o government_n be_v so_o necessary_a to_o our_o wellbeing_a we_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v derive_v from_o god_n and_o from_o he_o alone_o and_o agreeable_o to_o this_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n be_v style_v by_o our_o apostle_n the_o minister_n of_o god_n a_o revenger_n to_o execute_v wrath_n 5._o rom._n xiii_o 4_o 5._o upon_o he_o that_o do_v evil_a and_o we_o be_v therefore_o require_v to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o they_o not_o only_o for_o wrath_n but_o also_o for_o conscience_n sake_n neither_o be_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o judicial_a power_n less_o evident_a in_o matter_n ecclesiastical_a than_o in_o civil_a nor_o be_v the_o danger_n of_o confusion_n and_o disorder_n great_a in_o the_o state_n than_o in_o the_o church_n therefore_o when_o our_o saviour_n send_v forth_o his_o disciple_n to_o gather_v to_o he_o a_o church_n and_o make_v disciple_n of_o all_o nation_n he_o entrust_v they_o with_o the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n with_o the_o power_n of_o censure_v and_o absolve_v of_o remit_v and_o retain_v sin_n agreeable_a to_o the_o demerit_n of_o person_n under_o their_o jurisdiction_n and_o in_o obedience_n to_o this_o commission_n the_o scripture_n give_v we_o several_a instance_n of_o the_o use_n and_o exercise_v of_o this_o power_n by_o this_o authority_n s._n paul_n do_v deliver_v hymenaeus_n and_o alexander_n unto_o satan_n that_o they_o may_v learn_v to_o blaspheme_v as_o we_o read_v 1_o tim._n i_o 20._o and_o in_o the_o 5._o chapter_n of_o this_o epistle_n verse_n 5._o he_o give_v direction_n to_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n to_o use_v the_o same_o power_n over_o such_o person_n as_o be_v notorious_a to_o deliver_v such_o unto_o satan_n for_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o the_o spirit_n

offer_v we_o in_o the_o least_o degree_n answerable_a to_o those_o contumelious_a usage_n which_o the_o holy_a jesus_n be_v expose_v to_o be_v any_o of_o our_o calamity_n comparable_a to_o those_o bitter_a pain_n which_o he_o endure_v upon_o the_o cross_n or_o be_v there_o any_o sorrow_n can_v so_o deep_o affect_v our_o soul_n as_o that_o unconceivable_a anguish_n of_o his_o do_v which_o make_v he_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o infinite_a weight_n of_o his_o affliction_n the_o pierce_a violence_n of_o his_o pain_n we_o find_v not_o the_o least_o syllable_n of_o complaint_n proceed_v from_o he_o against_o this_o proceed_n of_o his_o father_n towards_o he_o no_o word_n of_o reproach_n or_o resentment_n against_o his_o most_o barbarous_a and_o implacable_a enemy_n let_v we_o therefore_o look_v unto_o jesus_n under_o these_o circumstance_n and_o then_o we_o can_v but_o be_v sensible_a how_o ill_o it_o become_v we_o who_o pretend_v to_o be_v his_o disciple_n and_o call_v ourselves_o by_o his_o name_n to_o be_v so_o angry_a and_o impatient_a under_o those_o light_a affliction_n we_o be_v call_v to_o 2._o our_o saviour_n suffering_n have_v this_o far_a influence_n to_o engage_v we_o in_o imitation_n of_o his_o patience_n because_o the_o perfect_a innocency_n of_o his_o life_n have_v merit_v none_o of_o those_o thing_n he_o know_v no_o sin_n neither_o be_v guile_n find_v in_o his_o mouth_n he_o be_v holy_a harmless_a undefiled_a and_o separate_v from_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o may_v just_o have_v claim_v exemption_n from_o those_o misery_n he_o undergo_v and_o have_v withdraw_v his_o shoulder_n from_o bear_v the_o heavy_a burden_n which_o it_o please_v his_o father_n to_o lay_v on_o he_o if_o he_o therefore_o when_o he_o may_v have_v avoid_v those_o calamity_n that_o befall_v he_o when_o he_o can_v have_v call_v for_o more_o than_o twelve_o legion_n of_o angel_n to_o rescue_v he_o from_o his_o danger_n choose_v rather_o to_o submit_v to_o all_o those_o indignity_n he_o foresee_v will_v be_v heap_v upon_o he_o in_o obedience_n to_o his_o heavenly_a father_n how_o much_o rather_o ought_v we_o without_o repine_v quiet_o to_o sit_v down_o under_o the_o afflict_a hand_n of_o god_n we_o who_o can_v suffer_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n so_o grievous_a which_o we_o have_v not_o deserve_v we_o who_o sin_n do_v every_o day_n provoke_v god_n indignation_n against_o we_o what_o rational_a plea_n can_v we_o have_v why_o god_n shall_v not_o use_v the_o most_o severe_a chastisement_n upon_o we_o and_o certain_o if_o god_n spare_v not_o his_o own_o son_n but_o give_v he_o up_o to_o those_o calamity_n he_o have_v not_o deserve_v we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o submit_v to_o he_o notwithstanding_o any_o trouble_n he_o bring_v upon_o we_o and_o to_o take_v up_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o penitent_a thief_n upon_o the_o cross_n we_o indeed_o suffer_v just_o for_o we_o receive_v the_o due_a reward_n of_o our_o deed_n but_o the_o holy_a jesus_n have_v do_v nothing_o amiss_o 3._o a_o further_a argument_n which_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o saviour_n suffering_n suggest_v to_o we_o to_o engage_v we_o to_o a_o like_a patient_a submission_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o end_n and_o design_n of_o his_o suffering_n which_o be_v the_o great_a design_n of_o goodness_n and_o love_n to_o we_o that_o can_v be_v undertake_v and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o engage_v we_o to_o a_o suitable_a return_n of_o obedience_n and_o love_n to_o he_o though_o it_o be_v to_o die_v for_o his_o sake_n as_o he_o do_v for_o we_o and_o to_o suffer_v the_o most_o severe_a trial_n that_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o appoint_v we_o to_o undergo_v when_o all_o mankind_n like_o sheep_n have_v go_v astray_o when_o they_o have_v all_o sin_v and_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o make_v themselves_o liable_a to_o the_o utmost_a severity_n of_o his_o anger_n and_o justice_n when_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n and_o be_v in_o no_o capacity_n to_o help_v ourselves_o or_o contrive_v our_o own_o recovery_n than_o it_o please_v the_o son_n of_o god_n out_o of_o his_o tender_a compassion_n and_o inimitable_a love_n to_o mankind_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n the_o habitation_n of_o glory_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o flesh_n to_o submit_v to_o all_o the_o misery_n and_o sorrow_n of_o humane_a life_n and_o last_o to_o suffer_v the_o most_o painful_a and_o ignominious_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n to_o redeem_v we_o from_o the_o bondage_n and_o dominion_n of_o sin_n and_o from_o the_o dreadful_a effect_n of_o it_o and_o to_o make_v we_o capable_a of_o life_n and_o salvation_n bless_a lord_n what_o be_v man_n that_o thou_o shall_v be_v so_o mindful_a of_o he_o what_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o thou_o shall_v so_o regard_v he_o as_o to_o debase_v thyself_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n and_o to_o submit_v to_o all_o the_o vile_a indignity_n and_o most_o unsupportable_a pain_n to_o rescue_v he_o from_o that_o misery_n which_o by_o his_o own_o wilful_a and_o unreasonable_a choice_n he_o have_v bring_v upon_o himself_o o_o the_o inestimable_a riches_n of_o love_n which_o the_o holy_a jesus_n express_v towards_o we_o in_o these_o his_o suffering_n and_o now_o what_o shall_v we_o render_v for_o all_o his_o goodness_n be_v there_o any_o thing_n which_o we_o can_v be_v unwilling_a to_o do_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o he_o who_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v so_o much_o for_o we_o we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o obligation_n of_o our_o saviour_n example_n to_o engage_v we_o to_o follow_v he_o in_o the_o patient_a suffer_v those_o calamity_n that_o befall_v we_o be_v very_o plain_a and_o evident_a because_o his_o suffering_n be_v undertake_v for_o our_o sake_n and_o benefit_n and_o he_o require_v this_o testimony_n of_o our_o love_n and_o gratitude_n for_o so_o unspeakable_a mercy_n towards_o we_o that_o we_o also_o shall_v take_v up_o our_o cross_n cheerful_o and_o follow_v he_o wheresoever_o we_o be_v call_v to_o it_o 4._o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o saviour_n suffering_n and_o death_n be_v a_o further_a argument_n to_o a_o like_a patience_n under_o and_o submission_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n because_o they_o be_v a_o strong_a evidence_n of_o that_o future_a reward_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o those_o who_o continue_v faithful_a to_o the_o end_n and_o run_v with_o patience_n the_o christian_a race_n set_v before_o they_o our_o saviour_n while_o he_o be_v yet_o alive_a promise_v many_o blessing_n and_o reward_n to_o his_o disciple_n and_o follower_n most_o of_o which_o be_v to_o have_v their_o accomplishment_n in_o another_o life_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o foretell_v they_o that_o in_o this_o world_n they_o shall_v have_v tribulation_n and_o that_o they_o must_v be_v always_o ready_a to_o forsake_v father_n and_o mother_n wife_n and_o child_n brethren_n and_o sister_n yea_o and_o their_o own_o life_n also_o if_o they_o will_v be_v his_o disciple_n however_o that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a reward_n lay_v up_o for_o they_o in_o heaven_n which_o they_o shall_v not_o fail_v to_o partake_v of_o if_o they_o continue_v steadfast_a in_o this_o faith_n and_o finish_v their_o course_n with_o patience_n now_o our_o saviour_n can_v give_v no_o great_a evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o those_o promise_n he_o make_v to_o they_o and_o of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o his_o intention_n in_o press_v this_o duty_n of_o patience_n under_o suffering_n than_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v willing_a to_o go_v before_o they_o in_o this_o so_o painful_a and_o laborious_a a_o enterprise_n and_o to_o endure_v the_o worst_a of_o those_o evil_n which_o he_o foretell_v shall_v befall_v they_o in_o prospect_n of_o the_o joy_n set_v before_o he_o which_o he_o promise_v they_o
