through_o their_o own_o greatness_n god_n may_v just_o look_v at_o every_o sin_n against_o he_o as_o very_o great_a because_o he_o look_v through_o his_o own_o greatness_n and_o man_n that_o have_v

all_o under_o they_o six_o further_n those_o that_o be_v above_o other_o have_v nothing_o to_o keep_v in_o their_o wrath_n as_o mean_a man_n though_o their_o anger_n be_v up_o yet_o it_o be_v keep_v

seneca_n have_v it_o be_v not_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o mind_n that_o cause_v wrathful_a anger_n but_o the_o swell_a of_o the_o mind_n a_o leg_n that_o have_v the_o gout_n be_v big_a than_o the_o

again_o they_o have_v nothing_o else_o to_o satisfy_v they_o nothing_o to_o make_v up_o any_o thing_n that_o cross_v they_o therefore_o when_o they_o be_v cross_v they_o be_v outrageous_a in_o their_o wrath_n use_v 1._o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a judgement_n for_o any_o people_n to_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o those_o that_o be_v evil_a and_o passionate_a because_o their_o passion_n will_v be_v outrageous_a and_o then_o fearful_a lamentable_a and_o grievous_a fruit_n be_v like_a to_o follow_v upon_o it_o use_v 2._o hence_o see_v that_o those_o who_o be_v under_o other_o which_o be_v passionate_a have_v cause_n to_o seek_v god_n much_o for_o they_o and_o to_o entreat_v god_n to_o moderate_v their_o passion_n and_o to_o quiet_v it_o in_o psal_n 76.10_o it_o

please_v to_o moderate_v their_o passion_n use_v 3._o hence_o see_v what_o cause_n we_o have_v to_o admire_v god_n goodness_n to_o his_o church_n in_o preserve_v his_o church_n notwithstanding_o there_o be_v so_o many_o that_o have_v power_n over_o it_o and_o be_v cross_v mighty_o by_o the_o way_n of_o god_n people_n that_o it_o be_v not_o swallow_v up_o by_o they_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o say_v to_o the_o proud_a wave_n hither_o you_o shall_v go_v and_o no_o further_o job_n 30.11_o and_o that_o place_n in_o psal_n 76.10_o be_v further_a notable_a for_o this_o purpose_n sure_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n shall_v praise_v thou_o it_o be_v god_n that_o turn_v the_o wrath_n of_o man_n to_o his_o praise_n &_o he_o do_v not_o only_o preserve_v his_o church_n notwithstanding_o it_o but_o make_v it_o work_v for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o church_n use_v 4._o here_o we_o have_v a_o good_a use_n of_o direction_n to_o those_o that_o have_v power_n over_o other_o as_o parent_n and_o governor_n to_o take_v heed_n this_o power_n be_v not_o abuse_v and_o therefore_o consider_v with_o yourselves_o 1._o who_o be_v it_o have_v give_v i_o this_o power_n be_v it_o not_o the_o lord_n 2._o again_o consider_v how_o have_v i_o provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o myself_o and_o yet_o god_n do_v not_o use_v his_o power_n against_o i_o those_o that_o be_v over_o other_o and_o be_v give_v to_o anger_n shall_v think_v how_o be_v god_n provoke_v and_o cross_v and_o if_o i_o do_v think_v because_o i_o be_o cross_v to_o put_v forth_o all_o my_o power_n against_o they_o that_o cross_v i_o how_o be_v it_o that_o god_n be_v so_o patient_a and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o put_v forth_o his_o power_n against_o i_o though_o i_o be_o over_o they_o i_o be_o under_o god_n and_o god_n may_v just_o put_v forth_o all_o his_o power_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o wrath_n against_o i_o because_o i_o that_o have_v but_o little_a power_n when_o i_o be_o cross_v i_o put_v forth_o all_o my_o power_n against_o they_o 3._o and_o then_o in_o the_o three_o place_n consider_v the_o power_n that_o you_o have_v over_o other_o when_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o authority_n it_o be_v a_o very_a glorious_a thing_n it_o be_v that_o which_o have_v a_o part_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o it_o will_v you_o now_o then_o take_v your_o authority_n and_o power_n to_o subject_v it_o to_o your_o lust_n &_o make_v that_o a_o instrument_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a evil_n and_o the_o more_o authority_n &_o power_n any_o have_v to_o use_v it_o in_o the_o devil_n service_n the_o more_o evil_a it_o be_v joseph_n speech_n to_o his_o brethren_n be_v very_o observable_a in_o gen._n 50.19_o when_o they_o be_v afraid_a lest_o he_o shall_v at_o last_o revenge_v himself_o upon_o they_o he_o answer_v they_o fear_v not_o for_o be_o i_o in_o the_o place_n of_o god_n there_o be_v many_o interpretation_n give_v of_o this_o but_o it_o may_v well_o carry_v this_o sense_n with_o it_o that_o power_n i_o have_v be_v from_o god_n and_o under_o god_n yea_o it_o put_v i_o into_o the_o place_n of_o god_n therefore_o i_o dare_v not_o abuse_v it_o to_o make_v it_o serviceable_a to_o revenge_v the_o lord_n be_v to_o have_v the_o glory_n be_v to_o have_v the_o glory_n of_o our_o strength_n the_o psalmist_n have_v such_o a_o expression_n have_v god_n give_v you_o strength_n &_o power_n over_o other_o let_v god_n have_v the_o glory_n of_o your_o strength_n and_o do_v not_o abuse_v it_o many_o think_v it_o be_v a_o disparagement_n to_o yield_v to_o other_o when_o they_o cross_v they_o but_o they_o do_v not_o think_v it_o much_o to_o yield_v to_o the_o devil_n say_v the_o scripture_n ephes_n 4.26.27_o let_v not_o the_o sun_n go_v down_o upon_o your_o wrath_n neither_o give_v place_n to_o the_o devil_n rather_o give_v way_n to_o any_o creature_n than_o to_o the_o devil_n if_o any_o cross_n you_o and_o you_o let_v your_o wrath_n go_v on_o against_o they_o you_o give_v way_n to_o the_o devil_n but_o rather_o give_v way_n to_o any_o creature_n 4._o again_o it_o be_v a_o most_o

in_o wrath_n than_o in_o mercy_n a_o learned_a man_n say_v you_o must_v distinguish_v between_o that_o which_o god_n give_v in_o good_a pleasure_n and_o that_o which_o he_o
much_o evil_a and_o very_a fearful_a thing_n come_v from_o wrath_n when_o it_o be_v distemper_v and_o let_v out_o first_o because_o it_o do_v wonderful_o blind_v the_o judgement_n of_o man_n anger_n

passion_n do_v warm_v all_o the_o lust_n that_o lodge_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o put_v a_o activeness_n into_o they_o whereas_o before_o they_o be_v cold_a and_o like_a snake_n be_v cold_a do_v not_o

with_o cold_a and_o like_a snake_n lie_v and_o do_v not_o stir_v but_o when_o the_o heat_n of_o passion_n come_v it_o put_v a_o heat_n into_o all_o those_o corruption_n and_o then_o they_o craul_v forth_o and_o make_v woeful_a work_n now_o in_o all_o man_n there_o be_v a_o distemper_a wrath_n and_o fearful_a fruit_n come_v from_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o mortify_v but_o when_o there_o be_v power_n join_v with_o passion_n than_o it_o be_v outrageous_a indeed_o as_o we_o see_v here_o how_o violent_a in_o wrath_n be_v pharaoh_n against_o moses_n and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n commend_v moses_n that_o he_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o the_o passion_n that_o be_v join_v with_o power_n so_o saul_n how_o violent_a be_v his_o passion_n when_o once_o he_o have_v power_n he_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o very_a quiet_a spirit_n while_o he_o be_v in_o a_o private_a condition_n and_o withal_o at_o his_o first_o come_v to_o the_o kingdom_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o 1_o

in_o 1_o sam._n 22_o 18.19_o he_o cause_v doeg_n to_o slay_v at_o one_o time_n fourscore_o and_o five_o priest_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o nob_n to_o be_v smite_v with_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o sword_n

observe_v here_o how_o outrageous_a man_n will_v be_v in_o their_o wrath_n when_o it_o be_v for_o themselves_o when_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n in_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n they_o can_v be_v quiet_a enough_o as_o when_o god_n command_v saul_n to_o slay_v agag_n and_o the_o amalekite_n and_o all_o their_o cattle_n than_o he_o be_v loath_a to_o be_v so_o outrageous_a but_o out_o of_o compassion_n he_o spare_v some_o for_o sacrifice_n but_o then_o the_o cause_n be_v god_n now_o when_o it_o be_v his_o own_o cause_n then_o slay_v all_o priest_n and_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o suckling_n and_o

a_o fearful_a manner_n thus_o violent_a and_o fierce_a be_v wrath_n where_o it_o have_v power_n and_o so_o rehoboam_n when_o he_o have_v power_n he_o answer_v the_o people_n rigid_o in_o 1_o king_n 12.14_o my_o little_a finger_n shall_v be_v thick_a than_o my_o father_n loin_n my_o father_n have_v chastise_v you_o with_o whip_n but_o i_o will_v chastise_v you_o with_o scorpion_n and_o you_o

outrageous_a where_o there_o be_v power_n withal_o be_v these_o first_o because_o power_n do_v puff_n up_o the_o heart_n with_o pride_n and_o pride_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o passion_n so_o much_o as_o man_n be_v passionate_a so_o much_o pride_n be_v not_o mortify_v in_o they_o but_o as_o one_o man_n through_o the_o disposition_n of_o his_o body_n may_v be_v more_o subject_a to_o passion_n

from_o the_o difference_n in_o the_o encourage_n occurrency_n of_o god_n providence_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o next_o doctrinal_a conclusion_n which_o be_v raise_v from_o hence_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o moses_n be_v afraid_a he_o do_v forsake_v egypt_n out_o of_o fear_n now_o moses_n by_o faith_n do_v forsake_v egypt_n and_o be_v not_o afraid_a the_o point_n be_v doct._n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n people_n at_o some_o time_n from_o that_o they_o be_v at_o other_o time_n now_o moses_n seem_v to_o have_v further_a courage_n and_o strength_n then_o former_o we_o have_v many_o example_n in_o scripture_n and_o daily_a experience_n of_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o wonderful_a difference_n between_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n people_n at_o sometime_o and_o at_o other_o time_n as_o elijah_n be_v a_o man_n of_o mighty_a courage_n that_o can_v look_v ahab_n on_o the_o face_n and_o when_o ahab_n say_v be_v thou_o he_o that_o trouble_v israel_n nay_o say_v he_o it_o be_v thou_o and_o thy_o father_n house_n at_o another_o time_n he_o flee_v from_o jezebel_n and_o god_n say_v to_o he_o what_o do_v thou_o here_o elijah_n be_v thou_o flee_v from_o a_o woman_n that_o but_o the_o other_o day_n have_v such_o a_o courage_n and_o so_o david_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o david_n be_v afraid_a and_o behave_v himself_o with_o much_o folly_n in_o his_o fear_n as_o in_o the_o change_n of_o his_o behaviour_n before_o the_o king_n of_o gath_n at_o another_o time_n as_o in_o psalm_n 23._o he_o will_v not_o fear_v what_o man_n can_v do_v unto_o he_o though_o he_o walk_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o so_o in_o many_o psalm_n you_o have_v his_o heart_n mighty_o deject_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o psalm_n and_o before_o he_o have_v do_v mighty_o raise_v and_o so_o abraham_n sometime_o he_o have_v mighty_a strength_n and_o confidence_n of_o his_o faith_n at_o other_o time_n his_o faith_n fail_v he_o and_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o equivocate_v and_o shift_v for_o himself_o and_o so_o jeremiah_n god_n say_v he_o will_v make_v he_o as_o a_o brazen_a wall_n and_o he_o will_v give_v he_o a_o spirit_n of_o courage_n at_o another_o time_n jeremiah_n be_v mighty_o deject_v because_o of_o the_o reproach_n he_o meet_v withal_o and_o he_o will_v speak_v no_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o so_o peter_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o a_o poor_a damsel_n at_o other_o time_n who_o so_o bold_a as_o peter_n as_o in_o

to_o be_v his_o but_o the_o glorious_a strength_n of_o god_n the_o chief_a of_o god_n strength_n to_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o glorious_a in_o
