man_n but_o then_o one_o reason_n more_o why_o such_o such_o thing_n must_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o their_o time_n and_o season_n why_o it_o must_v be_v 3._o to_o vindicate_v god_n holiness_n that_o there_o may_v not_o be_v a_o reproach_n leave_v upon_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n as_o if_o he_o be_v please_v with_o the_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n of_o a_o evil_a generation_n with_o reverence_n be_v it_o speak_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o vindicate_v his_o holiness_n but_o by_o the_o execution_n of_o these_o judgement_n of_o he_o i_o say_v that_o be_v the_o lord_n way_n do_v but_o mark_v how_o the_o wicked_a of_o the_o world_n do_v sometime_o challenge_v god_n to_o show_v himself_o in_o his_o judgement_n if_o he_o be_v a_o holy_a god_n and_o therefore_o god_n be_v constrain_v to_o do_v it_o in_o mal._n 2.17_o you_o have_v weary_v god_n with_o your_o word_n and_o wherein_o even_o when_o you_o say_v every_o one_o that_o do_v evil_a be_v good_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o where_o be_v the_o god_n of_o judgement_n wicked_a man_n they_o say_v that_o god_n love_v man_n that_o walk_v wicked_o and_o though_o we_o sin_n he_o love_v we_o never_o the_o worse_o why_o if_o he_o do_v not_o love_v the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n where_o be_v the_o god_n of_o judgement_n if_o our_o evil_a do_n displease_v he_o why_o do_v he_o not_o execute_v judgement_n why_o do_v be_v not_o let_v we_o see_v his_o displeasure_n god_n may_v say_v in_o his_o word_n what_o he_o will_v wicked_a man_n will_v not_o understand_v that_o they_o better_o understand_v the_o language_n of_o his_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o evil_n and_o do_v hate_v all_o iniquity_n why_o do_v he_o not_o show_v it_o by_o his_o judgement_n now_o i_o say_v god_n be_v put_v upon_o this_o he_o be_v constrain_v to_o vindicate_v his_o own_o holiness_n by_o his_o judgement_n because_o sentence_n against_o a_o evil-work_n be_v not_o execute_v speedy_o therefore_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v full_o set_v in_o they_o to_o do_v evil_a eccl._n 8.11_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n be_v plain_o this_o because_o wicked_a man_n be_v not_o punish_v in_o way_n of_o sin_n say_v they_o we_o may_v live_v as_o wicked_o as_o we_o will_v for_o aught_o we_o see_v we_o shall_v fare_v as_o well_o as_o those_o that_o be_v more_o precise_a this_o be_v the_o desperate_a wickedness_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o god_n will_v make_v know_v himself_o by_o his_o judgement_n and_o thereby_o he_o will_v take_v off_o this_o reproach_n and_o therefore_o that_o be_v a_o notable_a place_n psalm_n 9.16_o i_o think_v you_o have_v not_o this_o word_n higgaion_n selah_n above_o once_o more_o in_o the_o scripture_n this_o higgaion_n do_v import_v consider_v meditate_v upon_o this_o why_o what_o be_v it_o we_o shall_v take_v such_o notice_n of_o why_o it_o be_v this_o the_o lord_n be_v know_v by_o the_o judgement_n that_o he_o execute_v that_o be_v god_n be_v know_v by_o his_o judgement_n in_o his_o holiness_n in_o his_o purity_n and_o it_o be_v that_o that_o set_v he_o forth_o in_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o attribute_n when_o god_n bring_v judgement_n on_o the_o wicked_a than_o they_o must_v confess_v that_o god_n be_v a_o holy_a god_n and_o therefore_o take_v that_o scripture_n more_o where_o you_o have_v this_o confirm_v psal_n 58.9_o 10._o before_o your_o pot_n can_v feel_v the_o thorn_n it_o be_v a_o metaphorical_a expression_n and_o i_o suppose_v the_o meaning_n be_v this_o before_o the_o thorn_n or_o any_o other_o combustible_a matter_n put_v under_o the_o pot_n can_v heat_v it_o that_o be_v in_o a_o very_a little_a time_n god_n shall_v take_v away_o the_o wicked_a what_o shall_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o this_o the_o righteous_a shall_v rejoice_v when_o he_o see_v the_o vengeance_n and_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v very_o there_o be_v a_o reward_n for_o the_o righteous_a very_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o judge_v in_o the_o earth_n see_v what_o effect_n god_n judgement_n have_v that_o a_o mere_a man_n that_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o grace_n in_o his_o soul_n shall_v be_v force_v to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o reward_n for_o the_o righteous_a they_o that_o say_v where_o be_v the_o god_n of_o judgement_n when_o god_n come_v forth_o in_o way_n of_o judgement_n he_o
