the_o foundation_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o several_a thing_n that_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o his_o discourse_n in_o the_o 11_o first_o chapter_n after_o he_o have_v beseech_v they_o to_o

one_o word_n more_o to_o say_v and_o that_o be_v though_o in_o that_o perhaps_o i_o shall_v show_v my_o weakness_n it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o encouragement_n to_o you_o to_o go_v on_o in_o this_o

he_o be_v this_o day_n and_o in_o this_o world_n jesus_n christ_n be_v own_v this_o day_n by_o you_o all_o and_o you_o own_v he_o by_o your_o willingness_n in_o appear_v here_o and_o you_o manifest_v this_o as_o far_o as_o poor_a creature_n can_v to_o be_v a_o day_n of_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n by_o your_o willingness_n i_o know_v you_o remember_v that_o scripture_n in_o psalm_n 110.3_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v willing_a in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o power_n god_n do_v manifest_v it_o to_o be_v a_o day_n of_o the_o power_n of_o jesus_n christ_n have_v through_o so_o much_o blood_n and_o so_o much_o trial_n as_o have_v be_v upon_o these_o nation_n make_v this_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a issue_n thereof_o to_o have_v a_o people_n call_v to_o the_o supreme_a authority_n upon_o a_o avow_a account_n god_n have_v own_v his_o son_n by_o this_o and_o you_o by_o your_o willingness_n do_v own_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o for_o my_o part_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v never_o look_v to_o see_v such_o a_o sight_n perhaps_o you_o be_v not_o know_v by_o face_n one_o to_o another_o but_o we_o must_v tell_v you_o this_o that_o indeed_o we_o have_v not_o allow_v ourselves_o in_o

thus_o god_n have_v own_v you_o in_o the_o face_n and_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o by_o your_o come_n hither_o have_v you_o own_v he_o as_o it_o be_v in_o isaiah_n 43.21_o it_o be_v a_o high_a expression_n and_o look_v to_o your_o own_o heart_n whether_o now_o or_o hereafter_o god_n shall_v apply_v it_o to_o you_o this_o people_n say_v he_o i_o have_v form_v for_o myself_o that_o they_o may_v show_v forth_o my_o praise_n it_o be_v a_o memorable_a place_n &_o i_o hope_v not_o unfit_o apply_v god_n apply_v it_o to_o each_o of_o your_o heart_n i_o shall_v not_o descant_v upon_o the_o word_n they_o be_v plain_a you_o be_v as_o like_o the_o form_n of_o god_n as_o ever_o people_n be_v if_o any_o man_n shall_v ask_v you_o one_o by_o one_o and_o shall_v tender_v a_o book_n to_o you_o you_o will_v dare_v to_o swear_v that_o neither_o direct_o nor_o indirect_o do_v you_o seek_v to_o come_v hither_o you_o have_v be_v passive_a in_o come_v hither_o in_o be_v call_v hither_o and_o that_o be_v a_o active_a word_n this_o people_n i_o have_v form_v consider_v the_o circumstance_n by_o which_o you_o be_v call_v together_o through_o what_o difficulty_n through_o what_o

upon_o they_o or_o rather_o be_v call_v to_o the_o supreme_a authority_n and_o therefore_o know_v your_o be_v call_v indeed_o i_o think_v as_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v that_o never_o be_v a_o supreme_a authority_n consist_v of_o so_o numerous_a a_o body_n as_o you_o be_v which_o i_o believe_v be_v above_o 140_o be_v even_o in_o the_o supreme_a authority_n under_o such_o a_o nation_n in_o such_o a_o way_n of_o own_v of_o god_n and_o be_v own_v by_o he_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v also_o never_o a_o people_n form_v for_o such_o a_o purpose_n so_o call_v if_o it_o be_v time_n to_o compare_v your_o stand_n with_o those_o that_o have_v be_v call_v by_o the_o suffrage_n of_o the_o people_n who_o can_v tell_v how_o soon_o god_n may_v fit_v the_o people_n for_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o who_o will_v desire_v any_o thing_n more_o in_o the_o world_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o i_o will_v all_o the_o lord_n people_n be_v prophet_n i_o will_v they_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v call_v and_o fit_a to_o call_v and_o it_o be_v the_o longing_n of_o our_o heart_n to_o see_v they_o once_o own_o the_o interest_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v if_o i_o know_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n what_o be_v there_o like_a to_o win_v the_o people_n to_o the_o interest_n and_o love_n of_o god_n nay_o what_o a_o duty_n will_v lie_v upon_o you_o to_o have_v your_o conversation_n such_o as_o that_o they_o may_v love_v you_o that_o they_o may_v see_v you_o lay_v out_o your_o time_n and_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v not_o this_o the_o most_o likely_a way_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o their_o liberty_n and_o do_v you_o not_o by_o this_o put_v it_o upon_o god_n to_o find_v the_o time_n and_o the_o season_n for_o it_o by_o pour_v forth_o his_o spirit_n at_o least_o by_o convince_a they_o that_o as_o man_n fear_v god_n have_v seek_v they_o out_o of_o their_o thraldom_n and_o bondage_n under_o the_o legal_a power_n so_o man_n fear_v god_n rule_v they_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o take_v care_n to_o administer_v good_a unto_o they_o but_o this_o be_v some_o digression_n i_o say_v own_o your_o call_n for_o indeed_o it_o be_v marvellous_a and_o it_o be_v of_o god_n and_o it_o have_v be_v unproject_v unthought_a of_o by_o you_o and_o we_o and_o that_o have_v be_v the_o way_n god_n have_v deal_v with_o we_o all_o along_o to_o keep_v thing_n from_o our_o eye_n that_o what_o we_o have_v act_v we_o have_v see_v nothing_o before_o we_o which_o also_o be_v a_o witness_n in_o some_o measure_n to_o our_o integrity_n i_o say_v you_o be_v call_v with_o a_o high_a call_v and_o why_o shall_v we_o be_v afraid_a to_o say_v or_o think_v that_o this_o way_n may_v be_v the_o door_n to_o usher_v in_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v and_o prophesy_v of_o and_o to_o set_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n to_o wait_v for_o and_o expect_v we_o know_v who_o they_o be_v that_o shall_v war_n with_o the_o lamb_n against_o his_o enemy_n they_o shall_v be_v a_o people_n call_v choose_v and_o faithful_a and_o have_v in_o the_o military_a way_n we_o must_v speak_v it_o without_o flattery_n i_o believe_v you_o know_v it_o he_o have_v act_v with_o they_o and_o for_o they_o and_o now_o in_o the_o civil_a power_n and_o authority_n and_o these_o be_v not_o ill_a prognostication_n for_o that_o good_a we_o wait_v for_o indeed_o i_o do_v think_v something_o be_v at_o the_o door_n we_o be_v at_o the_o threshold_n and_o therefore_o it_o become_v we_o to_o lift_v up_o our_o head_n and_o to_o encourage_v ourselves_o in_o the_o lord_n and_o we_o have_v some_o of_o we_o think_v it_o our_o duty_n to_o endeavour_v this_o way_n not_o vain_o look_v on_o that_o prophecy_n in_o daniel_n and_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v not_o be_v deliver_v to_o another_o people_n true_o god_n have_v bring_v it_o into_o your_o hand_n by_o his_o own_n and_o blessing_n and_o call_v out_o a_o military_a power_n god_n have_v persuade_v their_o heart_n to_o be_v instrumental_a in_o call_v you_o and_o this_o have_v be_v set_v upon_o our_o heart_n and_o upon_o all_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o land_n it_o may_v be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o our_o duty_n to_o deliver_v it_o over_o to_o any_o

first_o fight_v with_o we_o come_v to_o this_o first_o conclusion_n among_o ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o have_v be_v fight_v out_o of_o it_o necessity_n will_v have_v teach_v we_o patience_n but_o to_o be_v take_v from_o we_o so_o unworthy_o we_o shall_v be_v render_v the_o worst_a people_n in_o the_o world_n and_o we_o shall_v become_v traitor_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n and_o when_o god_n have_v lay_v this_o to_o our_o heart_n and_o that_o we_o find_v the_o interest_n of_o his_o people_n be_v grow_v cheap_a and_o not_o lay_v to_o heart_n and_o if_o we_o come_v to_o competition_n of_o thing_n the_o cause_n even_o among_o themselves_o will_v even_o almost_o in_o every_o thing_n go_v to_o the_o ground_n this_o do_v add_v more_o consideration_n to_o we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_n upon_o we_o and_o true_o i_o speak_v it_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o some_o that_o be_v here_o that_o be_v at_o the_o close_a consultation_n i_o may_v say_v as_o before_o the_o lord_n the_o think_v of_o a_o act_n of_o violence_n be_v to_o we_o worse_o than_o any_o engagement_n that_o ever_o we_o be_v in_o yet_o and_o worse_o to_o we_o than_o the_o utmost_a hazard_n of_o our_o life_n that_o can_v be_v so_o unwilling_a be_v we_o so_o tender_a be_v we_o so_o desirous_a be_v we_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o these_o man_n may_v have_v quit_v their_o place_n with_o honour_n and_o true_o this_o i_o be_o the_o long_o upon_o because_o it_o have_v be_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o conscience_n our_o justification_n and_o have_v never_o yet_o be_v impart_v through_o to_o the_o nation_n and_o we_o have_v rather_o begin_v with_o you_o to_o do_v it_o than_o to_o have_v do_v it_o before_o and_o do_v think_v indeed_o that_o these_o transaction_n be_v more_o proper_a for_o a_o verbal_a communication_n than_o to_o have_v put_v it_o into_o writing_n i_o doubt_v whosoever_o have_v put_v it_o on_o will_v have_v be_v tempt_v to_o have_v dip_v his_o pen_n in_o anger_n and_o wrath_n but_o affair_n be_v at_o this_o posture_n that_o we_o see_v plain_o and_o evident_o in_o some_o critical_a thing_n that_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v a_o despise_a thing_n true_o than_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o hand_n of_o other_o man_n must_v be_v the_o hand_n that_o must_v be_v trust_v with_o it_o and_o then_o we_o think_v high_a time_n for_o we_o to_o look_v about_o we_o and_o to_o be_v sensible_a of_o our_o duty_n if_o i_o shall_v take_v up_o your_o time_n to_o tell_v you_o what_o instance_n we_o have_v to_o satisfy_v our_o judgement_n and_o

shall_v i_o repeat_v these_o thing_n to_o you_o i_o shall_v do_v that_o which_o i_o will_v avoid_v to_o rake_v into_o these_o thing_n too_o much_o only_o this_o if_o any_o body_n be_v in_o competition_n for_o any_o place_n of_o real_a and_o final_a trust_n how_o hard_a and_o difficult_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o get_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v carry_v without_o make_v party_n without_o thing_n indeed_o unworthy_a of_o a_o parliament_n and_o when_o thing_n must_v be_v carry_v so_o in_o a_o supreme_a authority_n indeed_o i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o other_o trial_n in_o that_o case_n of_o wales_n which_o i_o must_v confess_v for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o set_v myself_o upon_o if_o i_o shall_v inform_v what_o discountenance_n that_o business_n of_o the_o poor_a people_n of_o god_n there_o have_v who_o have_v watch_n over_o they_o man_n like_v so_o many_o wolf_n ready_a to_o catch_v the_o lamb_n assoon_o as_o it_o be_v bring_v out_o into_o the_o world_n how_o signal_o they_o throw_v that_o business_n under_o foot_n to_o the_o discountenance_v of_o the_o honest_a people_n there_o and_o to_o the_o countenance_v of_o the_o malignant_a party_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n i_o need_v but_o say_v it_o be_v so_o many_o have_v feel_v by_o sad_a experience_n it_o be_v so_o who_o will_v better_a impart_v that_o business_n to_o you_o which_o for_o myself_o and_o fellow_n officer_n i_o think_v it_o be_v as_o perfect_a trial_n of_o their_o spirit_n as_o any_o thing_n it_o be_v know_v to_o many_o of_o we_o that_o god_n kindle_v a_o seed_n there_o indeed_o hardly_o to_o be_v parallel_v since_o the_o primitive_a time_n i_o will_v this_o have_v be_v all_o the_o instance_n but_o find_v which_o way_n their_o spirit_n

of_o those_o poor_a creature_n we_o think_v this_o a_o evil_a requital_n i_o will_v not_o say_v they_o be_v at_o the_o uttermost_a pitch_n of_o reformation_n although_o i_o can_v say_v that_o one_o
