of_o judgement_n for_o god_n to_o deprive_v they_o total_o of_o his_o worship_n must_v needs_o be_v most_o fatal_a and_o pernicious_a to_o they_o 1._o by_o this_o mean_v all_o intercourse_n and_o

within_o his_o court_n i_o say_v such_o a_o judgement_n of_o famine_n must_v needs_o appear_v very_o terrible_a because_o when_o god_n reject_v man_n as_o his_o worshipper_n he_o reject_v they_o

he_o 2._o second_o this_o judgement_n be_v the_o more_o dreadful_a because_o by_o this_o mean_v israel_n be_v like_a to_o be_v reduce_v to_o a_o very_a deplorable_a condition_n in_o relation_n to_o their_o soul_n by_o be_v deprive_v of_o all_o such_o mean_n as_o shall_v be_v most_o advantageous_a to_o they_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v happy_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o blessing_n so_o be_v they_o in_o that_o great_a blessing_n which_o god_n be_v please_v to_o bestow_v upon_o they_o by_o send_v they_o his_o messenger_n early_o and_o late_o to_o instruct_v they_o these_o person_n be_v sometime_o
