A51487	Aug. 7: 1670. A most useful sermon preached in London, By a most worthy and faithfhl [sic] minsiter and servant of Jesus Christs, most learnedly pressed from Amos 8. 11. ... From which text of scripture, he learnedly shews the dreadful and deplorable condition of that kingdom which a famine of the word of the Lord seizes upon; and further shews, that they are the greatest felons who would rob us of the word of God, and that there is more justice in hell then is here upon earth, for in hell they do not punnish the innocent		1671 (1671)	Wing M2931BA; ESTC R213887	17,302	48

sword_n the_o sword_n skip_v over_o many_o they_o may_v be_v hide_v from_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o sword_n as_o we_o read_v of_o obadiah_n he_o hide_v a_o thousand_o prophet_n in_o a_o cave_n and_o so_o escape_v the_o edge_n of_o the_o sword_n now_o a_o famine_n reach_v all_o 3._o famine_n make_v a_o man_n cruel_a to_o himself_o and_o it_o be_v like_o a_o wolf_n in_o his_o breast_n it_o make_v a_o man_n feed_v upon_o himself_o he_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o his_o own_o arm_n it_o make_v a_o person_n unnatural_a lam._n 4.10_o thus_o the_o famine_n of_o the_o body_n be_v worse_a than_o the_o sword_n and_o now_o belove_v a_o famine_n of_o the_o word_n be_v worse_a than_o a_o famine_n of_o bread_n in_o these_o two_o respect_n 1._o a_o famine_n of_o bread_n be_v only_o a_o pine_v and_o starve_v of_o the_o body_n oh_o but_o the_o other_o be_v starve_v of_o the_o soul_n by_o how_o much_o more_o precious_a the_o soul_n be_v then_o the_o body_n so_o much_o the_o sad_a the_o famine_n of_o the_o soul_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o soul_n be_v the_o most_o spiritual_a and_o reserve_a part_n of_o man_n it_o be_v like_a spirit_n of_o wine_n the_o soul_n be_v a_o divine_a spark_n that_o flee_v upward_o towards_o god_n now_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v more_o noble_a than_o the_o body_n than_o the_o famine_n of_o the_o soul_n must_v needs_o be_v more_o deadly_a and_o pernicious_a than_o that_o of_o the_o body_n etc._n etc._n 2._o the_o famine_n of_o the_o body_n be_v but_o temporal_a but_o for_o a_o time_n and_o it_o will_v quick_o have_v a_o end_n sorrow_n and_o sigh_v shall_v flee_v away_o ezek._n 35._o oh_o but_o the_o famine_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v eternal_a the_o worm_n will_v be_v ever_o gnaw_v the_o man_n the_o man_n will_v be_v ever_o die_v but_o never_o dead_a he_o will_v never_o taste_v of_o one_o drop_n of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n it_o be_v a_o eternal_a famine_n he_o shall_v not_o have_v one_o drop_n of_o water_n to_o cool_v his_o tongue_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o famine_n of_o the_o word_n be_v far_o more_o grievous_a than_o the_o famine_n of_o bread_n now_o the_o sadness_n of_o the_o soul_n famine_n will_v further_o appear_v in_o these_o three_o or_o four_o particular_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v 1._o to_o have_v the_o famine_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o dreadful_a judgement_n because_o now_o the_o very_a mean_n of_o salvation_n be_v take_v away_o the_o very_a bridge_n be_v pluck_v up_o that_o shall_v lead_v we_o over_o to_o heaven_n prov._n 29.18_o where_o there_o be_v no_o vision_n the_o people_n perish_v the_o hebrew_n word_n for_o perish_v have_v two_o signification_n either_o it_o signify_v to_o be_v make_v naked_a they_o strip_v off_o their_o ornament_n and_o glory_n or_o else_o the_o word_n perish_v signify_v to_o reject_v god_n reject_v such_o a_o people_n when_o he_o take_v awy_a the_o vision_n from_o they_o where_o there_o be_v no_o vision_n the_o people_n perish_v but_o now_o here_o be_v a_o question_n may_v be_v ask_v quest_n you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o but_o may_v we_o not_o be_v save_v without_o the_o word_n preach_v ans_fw-fr i_o will_v not_o dispute_v what_o god_n

sanctuary_n unto_o they_o ezek._n 11.16_o as_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o wilderness_n when_o they_o can_v not_o have_v the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o till_v plow_a and_o sow_v in_o this_o case_n god_n give_v they_o bread_n from_o heaven_n john_n 6.31_o let_v i_o assure_v you_o ordinary_o god_n do_v not_o distil_v the_o golden_a oil_n of_o salvation_n but_o through_o the_o pipe_n of_o

god_n ordinary_o make_v use_v of_o the_o word_n to_o work_v grace_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o spirit_n why_o this_o make_v the_o famine_n of_o the_o word_n so_o dismal_a because_o now_o the_o very_a mean_n of_o salvation_n be_v take_v away_o from_o a_o people_n they_o lie_v in_o their_o blood_n 2._o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v a_o famine_n of_o the_o word_n it_o be_v very_o sad_a wherever_o it_o come_v because_o now_o the_o lord_n turn_v away_o his_o face_n from_o a_o people_n or_o a_o nation_n ordinance_n be_v the_o face_n of_o god_n they_o be_v his_o

the_o child_n have_v rather_o have_v his_o father_n frown_n upon_o he_o than_o that_o he_o shall_v turn_v away_o his_o face_n to_o be_v so_o incense_v against_o he_o that_o he_o will_v not_o look_v upon_o his_o child_n and_o this_o be_v sad_a to_o have_v god_n turn_v away_o his_o face_n from_o a_o people_n better_o have_v a_o frown_a face_n from_o god_n than_o no_o face_n the_o lord_n may_v have_v love_n under_o a_o wrinkle_a brow_n as_o the_o sun_n may_v be_v under_o a_o cloud_n but_o for_o god_n to_o turn_v away_o his_o face_n from_o we_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o intend_v to_o disinherit_v we_o as_o david_n pray_v lord_n hide_v not_o thy_o face_n from_o i_o in_o anger_n psal_n 120.2_o it_o be_v sad_a when_o god_n hide_v his_o face_n for_o a_o time_n but_o worse_o when_o he_o quite_o turn_v away_o his_o face_n that_o he_o will_v not_o look_v upon_o a_o people_n oh_o this_o make_v a_o soul-famine_n very_o sad_a and_o dreadful_a 3._o the_o famine_n of_o the_o word_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o sad_a and_o dismal_a because_o if_o the_o word_n be_v go_v god_n have_v now_o do_v speak_v to_o we_o he_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v pray_v observe_v it_o be_v call_v in_o the_o text_n

a_o people_n ezek._n 1.5_o why_o shall_v you_o be_v smite_v any_o more_o and_o so_o for_o god_n to_o leave_v speak_v to_o a_o people_n this_o be_v a_o rebellious_a people_n it_o be_v to_o no_o
