A55028	The necessity and encouragement, of utmost venturing for the churches help together with the sin, folly, and mischief of self-idolizing applyed by a representation of 1. some of the most notorious nationall sins endangering us, 2. the heavy weight of wrath manifested in our present calamities, yet withall, grounds of 3. confidence, that our church shall obtain deliverance in the issue, 4. hopes that the present Parliament shall be still imployed in the working of it : all set forth in a sermon, preached to the honorable House of Commons, on the day of the monethly solemn fast, 28.

virtual_a promise_n to_o england_n 3_o express_v 3._o but_o i_o take_v it_o for_o a_o much_o strong_a ground_n and_o more_o undoubted_a that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o story_n and_o in_o the_o threaten_n together_o have_v a_o epitome_n of_o all_o that_o god_n will_v do_v to_o his_o church_n plant_v in_o my_o nation_n and_o that_o god_n will_v never_o deal_v more_o severe_o with_o any_o national_a church_n than_o his_o word_n which_o be_v every_o way_n most_o perfect_a relate_v or_o threaten_v therefore_o if_o it_o can_v be_v find_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n do_v ever_o bring_v destruction_n upon_o his_o church_n plant_v in_o a_o nation_n or_o transplant_v his_o church_n whole_o out_o of_o such_o a_o land_n while_o they_o be_v in_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o

to_o be_v a_o very_a strong_a promise_n that_o he_o will_v afford_v we_o the_o like_a now_o logician_n say_v that_o even_o one_o example_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o no_o instance_n to_o the_o contrary_a

special_a work_n of_o god_n and_o little_a of_o the_o nation_n in_o it_o as_o in_o josiah_n time_n god_n wrought_v it_o by_o a_o special_a work_n upon_o the_o king_n who_o see_v all_o do_v himself_o and_o the_o people_n show_v little_a concurrence_n in_o it_o yet_o god_n will_v and_o do_v carry_v it_o through_o because_o he_o that_o love_v the_o people_n so_o well_o church_n be_v yet_o corrupt_v as_o to_o begin_v to_o reform_v they_o in_o a_o manner_n himself_o when_o he_o have_v begin_v it_o once_o will_v make_v somewhat_o of_o it_o and_o not_o let_v it_o altogether_o come_v to_o nothing_o of_o whether_o god_n though_o he_o ever_o be_v the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o all_o good_a yet_o act_v the_o reformation_n much_o by_o the_o people_n hand_n as_o it_o be_v in_o hezekiah_n
