thy_o anger_n the_o doctrinal_a observation_n though_o god_n anger_n be_v infinite_a in_o itself_o and_o be_v the_o declaration_n of_o his_o just_a displeasure_n against_o sin_n and_o sinner_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o otherwise_o fear_v than_o as_o it_o work_v upon_o man_n heart_n to_o amend_v the_o miscarriage_n of_o their_o life_n and_o as_o it_o form_v they_o to_o reverential_n sincere_a

5._o from_o the_o whole_a discourse_n i_o shall_v set_v down_o some_o rule_n and_o motive_n to_o the_o condemn_a how_o they_o may_v not_o fall_v under_o the_o stroke_n of_o god_n severity_n first_o what_o be_v anger_n in_o god_n it_o be_v not_o a_o impotent_a passion_n as_o in_o man_n but_o a_o holy_a well_o regulate_v declaration_n of_o his_o hatred_n against_o sin_n in_o the_o just_a punishment_n of_o sinner_n this_o be_v without_o any_o disturbance_n of_o his_o essential_a blessedness_n in_o the_o serene_a enjoyment_n of_o himself_o and_o without_o any_o injuriousness_n towards_o men._n 2_o though_o god_n be_v infinite_o arm_v with_o power_n to_o destroy_v sinner_n yet_o he_o stir_v not_o up_o his_o whole_a displeasure_n till_o sinner_n despise_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n design_v to_o lead_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o amendment_n man_n by_o harden_v their_o heart_n in_o a_o obstinate_a course_n of_o sin_v fit_v themselves_o for_o eternal_a destruction_n thus_o final_a wilful_a inpenitency_n lift_v up_o its_o head_n above_o all_o other_o impiety_n triumph_v as_o it_o be_v over_o the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n such_o know_v not_o the_o power_n of_o his_o anger_n who_o by_o a_o insensible_a security_n plung_v their_o soul_n in_o sensual_a pleasure_n till_o god_n justice_n suspend_v all_o tenderness_n and_o triumph_n in_o their_o destruction_n second_o head_n god_n anger_n in_o the_o severity_n of_o it_o be_v declare_v in_o three_o respect_n 1._o in_o wound_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o most_o insolent_a audacious_a sinner_n when_o they_o most_o bless_v themselves_o in_o their_o impiety_n as_o presume_v that_o they_o shall_v defeat_v the_o stroke_n of_o vindictive_a justice_n 2._o in_o punish_v sin_n with_o sin_n with_o blindness_n of_o mind_n hardness_n of_o heart_n desperate_a obstupifaction_n in_o the_o conscience_n this_o be_v not_o only_o a_o assure_v pledge_n of_o eternal_a torment_n but_o the_o sad_a anticipation_n of_o they_o as_o seal_v up_o inpenitent_a sinner_n to_o the_o day_n of_o wrath._n 3._o by_o punish_v sinner_n beyond_o the_o grave_a in_o subject_v then_o under_o a_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o wrath_n ever_o come_v and_o abide_v as_o the_o curse_n on_o all_o incorrigible_a sinner_n the_o hell_n of_o hell_n be_v the_o perfect_a consummation_n of_o their_o wickedness_n yet_o these_o dreadful_a effect_n of_o divine_a anger_n though_o infinite_a in_o itself_o and_o eternal_a in_o those_o punishment_n which_o it_o inflict_v make_v little_a or_o no_o impression_n on_o man_n mind_n heart_n and_o conversation_n to_o awaken_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o reformation_n three_o head_n how_o man_n presumption_n declare_v itself_o in_o provoke_v god_n anger_n against_o themselves_o o_o consider_v the_o power_n of_o god_n anger_n in_o time_n lest_o he_o tear_v you_o in_o piece_n and_o there_o be_v none_o to_o deliver_v you_o the_o stout_a sinner_n have_v neither_o power_n nor_o fortitude_n of_o mind_n to_o bear_v up_o under_o much_o less_o to_o grapple_v with_o ahe_fw-la wrathful_a indignation_n of_o the_o almighty_a what_o be_v this_o it_o be_v not_o only_a god_n anger_n break_v forth_o into_o a_o flame_n of_o wrath_n but_o the_o utter_a loathe_n and_o abhor_v of_o the_o perverse_a sinner_n in_o the_o utter_a rejection_n of_o he_o so_o as_o to_o leave_v he_o just_o to_o himself_o in_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o iniquity_n till_o he_o be_v ripe_a for_o destruction_n be_v it_o any_o wonder_n if_o the_o utmost_a severity_n of_o the_o lord_n take_v hold_v on_o such_o who_o strengthen_v themselves_o in_o their_o wickedness_n yet_o be_v impudent_a and_o shameless_a in_o sport_v with_o those_o very_a thunderbolt_n which_o strike_v other_o dead_a as_o monument_n of_o god_n fiery_a indignation_n who_o be_v able_a to_o abide_v the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n wrath_n yet_o presumptuous_a sinner_n treasure_n it_o up_o as_o if_o they_o be_v covetous_a to_o entail_v damnation_n on_o themselves_o let_v such_o consider_v that_o holy_a person_n dread_v the_o excellency_n of_o god_n purity_n when_o he_o come_v to_o search_v and_o try_v the_o most_o innocent_a passage_n of_o their_o life_n to_o refine_v they_o in_o their_o conversation_n here_o argue_v thus_o what_o fearfulness_n will_v surprise_v all_o hypocrite_n to_o who_o the_o just_a lord_n arm_v with_o fury_n will_v not_o be_v a_o refine_n but_o a_o consume_a fire_n in_o the_o utmost_a effort_n of_o his_o vindictive_a wrath_n to_o all_o eternity_n four_o head_n i_o shall_v to_o

and_o the_o genuine_a fear_n of_o holy_a person_n 1._o a_o true_a penitent_n be_v trouble_v at_o the_o very_a remembrance_n of_o god_n holiness_n as_o be_v vile_a in_o his_o own_o account_n when_o

true_a fear_n of_o god_n be_v a_o settle_a reverential_n observance_n of_o he_o which_o overrule_v a_o saint_n to_o a_o perfect_a hatred_n of_o the_o least_o sin_n it_o maintain_v a_o holy_a strict_a discipline_n in_o mortify_v the_o inordinate_a lusting_n of_o the_o heart_n 4_o a_o real_a penitent_n can_v enjoy_v himself_o with_o any_o peace_n of_o mind_n unless_o he_o devote_v himself_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n in_o a_o reverential_n love_n of_o he_o for_o his_o divine_a excellency_n and_o perfection_n thus_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o the_o lord_n flow_v from_o love_n and_o be_v guard_v by_o a_o holy_a humble_a wariness_n not_o to_o displease_v god_n by_o the_o least_o remissness_n in_o any_o circumstance_n of_o his_o duty_n you_o have_v hear_v how_o god_n arm_n his_o justice_n with_o severity_n against_o sin_n and_o sinner_n yet_o wilful_a sinner_n bid_v the_o god_n of_o mercy_n depart_v from_o they_o they_o desire_v not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o way_n these_o be_v always_o grievous_a to_o they_o they_o mock_v at_o his_o fear_n and_o harden_v their_o heart_n against_o he_o but_o be_v they_o strong_a enough_o to_o conflict_n with_o omnipotency_n to_o escape_v god_n vengeance_n be_v impossible_a and_o to_o bear_v it_o be_v intolerable_a the_o anger_n of_o a_o man_n may_v be_v appease_v but_o when_o god_n 〈◊〉_d suffering_n be_v abuse_v by_o turn_v the_o
