or_o fear_n we_o seem_v general_o to_o be_v well_o enough_o satisfy_v with_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o but_o many_o among_o we_o be_v still_o dissatisfy_v with_o the_o method_n and_o

worth_n their_o notice_n but_o rather_o deserve_v their_o opposition_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o plain_a language_n of_o some_o disaffect_v people_n in_o this_o present_a generation_n oh_o horrid_a ingratitude_n altogether_o unbecoming_a the_o practice_n of_o reasonable_a man_n or_o christian_n i_o will_v ask_v a_o question_n if_o i_o know_v where_o to_o have_v it_o resolve_v viz._n what_o such_o man_n as_o these_o will_v have_v to_o which_o i_o doubt_v themselves_o can_v answer_v it_o must_v certain_o be_v conclude_v that_o they_o be_v in_o love_n with_o chain_n that_o see_v they_o be_v loose_v from_o they_o they_o endeavour_v what_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o bind_v they_o on_o afresh_o this_o certain_o be_v neither_o consonant_n with_o reason_n nor_o religion_n though_o such_o man_n perhaps_o will_v pretend_v to_o both_o for_o both_o detect_v such_o absurdity_n it_o be_v unbecoming_a the_o reason_n of_o a_o man_n to_o destroy_v his_o own_o body_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v unbecoming_a the_o practice_n of_o a_o christian_a to_o contribute_v towards_o and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o country_n and_o of_o that_o church_n of_o which_o he_o be_v a_o member_n at_o least_o by_o profession_n as_o undoubted_o all_o such_o disaffect_v person_n virtual_o do_v though_o it_o be_v not_o in_o their_o power_n actual_o to_o perform_v it_o but_o such_o person_n whoever_o they_o be_v must_v expect_v one_o day_n to_o be_v severe_o accountable_a for_o all_o this_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v faithful_o warn_v they_o all_o of_o it_o this_o day_n if_o my_o voice_n will_v extend_v so_o far_o for_o it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n to_o endeavour_v to_o thwart_v the_o design_n and_o method_n of_o the_o almighty_a god_n for_o if_o man_n will_v walk_v contrary_a to_o he_o he_o will_v also_o walk_v contrary_a to_o they_o and_o by_o some_o mean_n or_o other_o and_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o will_v make_v they_o feel_v the_o weight_n of_o their_o folly_n in_o the_o punishment_n of_o their_o iniquity_n and_o if_o his_o mercy_n can_v prevail_v with_o they_o to_o be_v grateful_a his_o judgement_n will_v make_v they_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o affront_v his_o majesty_n let_v such_o therefore_o be_v wise_a in_o time_n and_o express_v the_o gratitude_n of_o their_o soul_n for_o such_o great_a blessing_n in_o a_o due_a proportion_n of_o thanks_o and_o praise_n as_o be_v suitable_a for_o such_o a_o occasion_n and_o that_o with_o a_o hearty_a sincerity_n and_o let_v we_o all_o after_o the_o example_n of_o the_o holy_a prophet_n
