that_o music_n in_o god_n service_n though_o it_o may_v please_v the_o ear_n of_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v unpleasing_a in_o the_o ear_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o best_a music_n that_o will_v

to_o sin_n against_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n now_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o the_o first_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o he_o that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n and_o live_v impenitent_o sin_n against_o the_o birth_n death_n resurrection_n and_o exaltation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n sin_n against_o the_o great_a argument_n that_o god_n can_v use_v to_o persuade_v he_o to_o repent_v sin_n against_o the_o great_a help_n that_o god_n can_v afford_v he_o to_o repent_v he_o be_v a_o sinner_n leave_v without_o all_o excuse_n he_o be_v a_o monster_n in_o christianity_n and_o the_o hot_a

in_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o these_o be_v time_n of_o war_n and_o bloodshed_n this_o be_v the_o day_n of_o jacob_n trouble_n and_o therefore_o god_n do_v especial_o call_v for_o

else_o i_o will_v remove_v the_o gospel_n from_o you_o and_o not_o to_o repent_v when_o god_n use_v such_o argument_n be_v a_o sin_n that_o god_n will_v hardly_o pardon_v as_o you_o shall_v read_v in_o the_o 22._o of_o isaiah_n 12_o 13_o 14._o in_o that_o day_n the_o lord_n call_v for_o weep_v and_o mourn_a speak_v of_o a_o time_n of_o war_n and_o baldness_n and_o sackcloth_n etc._n etc._n

that_o be_v it_o shall_v hardly_o ever_o be_v pardon_v and_o then_o second_o because_o god_n have_v now_o take_v away_o all_o those_o hindrance_n and_o 2._o impediment_n that_o do_v heretofore_o lie_v in_o your_o way_n to_o hinder_v you_o from_o repentance_n and_o therefore_o now_o god_n especial_o call_v you_o to_o repentance_n there_o be_v five_o obstruction_n that_o hinder_v many_o from_o

a_o second_o impediment_n be_v inconsideration_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v 2._o say_v express_o ier._n 8._o 6._o i_o hearken_v and_o hear_v but_o they_o speak_v not_o aright_o no_o man_n repent_v
