add_v i_o must_v tell_v you_o we_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v what_o sanctification_n and_o the_o new_a creature_n be_v it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v bring_v to_o a_o entire_a resignation_n of_o his_o will_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o to_o live_v in_o the_o offer_n up_o of_o his_o soul_n continual_o in_o the_o flame_n of_o love_n as_o a_o whole_a burn_v offer_v to_o christ_n and_o how_o little_a say_v he_o be_v many_o of_o those_o who_o profess_v christianity_n experimental_o acquaint_v with_o this_o work_n on_o their_o soul_n by_o this_o discourse_n i_o conceive_v he_o have_v very_o excellent_o and_o clear_o discover_v to_o i_o that_o part_n of_o sanctification_n which_o he_o be_v unwilling_a to_o write_v i_o than_o presume_v to_o inquire_v of_o he_o what_o his_o present_a apprehension_n be_v concern_v a_o very_a great_a persecution_n which_o shall_v fall_v upon_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o these_o nation_n of_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n of_o which_o this_o reverend_a primate_n have_v speak_v with_o great_a confidence_n many_o year_n before_o when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o high_a and_o full_a state_n of_o outward_a peace_n and_o settlement_n i_o ask_v he_o whether_o he_o do_v believe_v those_o sad_a time_n to_o be_v past_a or_o that_o they_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v to_o which_o he_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v yet_o to_o

i_o reply_v that_o i_o do_v hope_v it_o may_v have_v be_v pass_v as_o to_o these_o nation_n of_o we_o since_o i_o think_v that_o though_o we_o who_o be_v the_o people_n thereof_o have_v be_v punish_v much_o less_o than_o our_o sin_n have_v deserve_v and_o that_o our_o late_a war_n have_v make_v far_o less_o devastation_n than_o war_n common_o bring_v upon_o those_o country_n where_o it_o please_v god_n in_o judgement_n to_o suffer_v it_o yet_o we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v that_o many_o great_a house_n have_v be_v burn_v ruin_a and_o leave_v without_o inhabitant_n many_o great_a family_n impoverish_v and_o undo_v and_o many_o thousand_o life_n also_o have_v be_v lose_v in_o that_o bloody_a war_n and_o that_o ireland_n and_o scotland_n as_o well_o as_o england_n have_v drink_v very_o deep_a of_o the_o cup_n of_o god_n anger_n even_o to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o government_n and_o the_o utter_a desolation_n almost_o of_o a_o very_a great_a part_n of_o those_o country_n but_o this_o holy_a man_n turn_v to_o i_o and_o fix_v his_o eye_n upon_o i_o with_o that_o serious_a and_o ireful_a look_n which_o he_o usual_o have_v when_o he_o speak_v god_n word_n and_o not_o his_o own_o and_o when_o the_o power_n of_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v upon_o he_o and_o to_o constrain_v he_o to_o speak_v which_o i_o can_v easy_o discern_v much_o to_o differ_v from_o the_o countenance_n where_o with_o he_o usual_o speak_v to_o i_o he_o say_v thus_o fool_z not_o yourself_o with_o such_o hope_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o all_o you_o have_v yet_o see_v have_v be_v but_o the_o begin_n of_o sorrow_n to_o what_o be_v yet_o to_o come_v upon_o the_o protestant_a church_n of_o christ_n who_o will_v ere_o long_o fall_v under_o a_o sharp_a persecution_n than_o ever_o yet_o have_v upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o say_v he_o to_o i_o look_v you_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o outward_a court_n but_o a_o worshipper_n in_o the_o temple_n before_o the_o altar_n for_o christ_n will_v measure_v all_o those_o that_o profess_v his_o name_n &_o call_v themselves_o his_o people_n &_o the_o outward_a worshipper_n he_o will_v leave_v out_o to_o be_v tread_v down_o by_o the_o gentile_n the_o outward_a court_n say_v he_o be_v the_o formal_a christian_a who_o religion_n lie_v in_o perform_v the_o outside_n duty_n of_o christianity_n without_o have_v a_o inward_a life_n &_o power_n of_o faith_n and_o love_n unite_n they_o to_o christ_n and_o these_o god_n will_v leave_v to_o be_v tread_v down_o and_o sweep_v away_o by_o the_o gentile_n but_o the_o worshipper_n within_o the_o temple_n and_o before_o the_o altar_n be_v those_o who_o do_v indeed_o worship_n god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n who_o soul_n be_v make_v his_o temple_n and_o he_o be_v honour_v and_o adore_v in_o the_o most_o inward_a thought_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o sacrifice_v their_o lust_n and_o vile_a affection_n yea_o and_o their_o own_o will_n to_o he_o and_o these_o god_n will_v hide_v in_o the_o hollow_a of_o his_o hand_n and_o under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v one_o great_a difference_n between_o this_o last_o and_o all_o the_o other_o precede_a persecution_n for_o in_o the_o former_a the_o most_o eminent_a and_o spiritual_a minister_n and_o christian_n do_v general_o suffer_v most_o and_o be_v most_o violent_o fall_v upon_o but_o in_o this_o last_o persecution_n these_o shall_v be_v preserve_v by_o god_n as_o a_o seed_n to_o partake_v of_o that_o glory_n which_o shall_v immediate_o follow_v and_o come_v upon_o the_o church_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o this_o storm_n shall_v be_v over_o for_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o sharp_a so_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o short_a persecution_n of_o they_o all_o and_o shall_v only_o take_v away_o the_o gross_a hypocrite_n and_o formal_a profesor_n but_o the_o true_a spiritual_a believer_n shall_v be_v preserve_v till_o the_o calamity_n be_v overpast_a i_o than_o ask_v he_o by_o what_o mean_n or_o instrument_n this_o great_a trial_n shall_v be_v bring_v on_o he_o answer_v by_o the_o papist_n i_o reply_v that_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o very_o improbable_a they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o since_o they_o be_v now_o little_o countenance_v and_o but_o few_o in_o these_o nation_n and_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n be_v more_o set_v against_o they_o then_o ever_o since_o the_o reformation_n he_o answer_v again_o that_o it_o will_v be_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o papist_n and_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o sudden_a massacree_n and_o that_o the_o then_o pope_n shall_v be_v the_o chief_a instrument_n of_o it_o all_o this_o he_o speak_v with_o so_o great_a assurance_n and_o with_o the_o same_o serious_a and_o concern_v countenance_n which_o i_o have_v before_o observe_v he_o to_o have_v when_o i_o have_v hear_v he_o soretell_v some_o thing_n which_o in_o all_o humane_a appearance_n be_v very_o unlikely_a to_o come_v to_o pass_v which_o yet_o i_o myself_o have_v live_v to_o see_v happen_v according_a to_o his_o prediction_n and_o this_o make_v i_o give_v the_o more_o earnest_a attention_n to_o what_o he_o then_o utter_v he_o then_o add_v that_o the_o papist_n be_v in_o his_o opinion_n the_o gentile_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o 11_o of_o the_o revelation_n to_o who_o the_o outward_a court_n shall_v be_v leave_v that_o they_o may_v tread_v it_o underfoot_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o gentile_n worship_n in_o their_o adore_a image_n and_o saint_n depart_v and_o in_o take_v to_o themselves_o many_o mediator_n and_o this_o say_v he_o the_o papist_n be_v now_o design_v among_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o be_v sure_a you_o be_v ready_a this_o be_v the_o substance_n &_o i_o think_v for_o the_o great_a part_n the_o very_a same_o word_n which_o this_o holy_a
