be_v tell_v as_o you_o shall_v have_v old_a man_n in_o a_o tale_n of_o less_o than_o a_o hour_n long_o run_v over_o all_o their_o life_n verse_n 11._o who_o know_v the_o power_n of_o thy_o anger_n even_o according_a to_o thy_o fear_n so_o be_v thy_o wrath_n the_o prophet_n in_o this_o 11._o verse_n conclude_v his_o complaint_n and_o in_o the_o same_o complain_v of_o the_o dulness_n of_o mankind_n that_o whereas_o god_n show_v such_o sign_n of_o his_o wrath_n they_o have_v no_o sense_n or_o understanding_n of_o the_o power_n thereof_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o verse_n be_v somewhat_o doubtful_a word_n for_o word_n in_o the_o hebrew_n it_o be_v thus_o and_o according_a to_o thy_o fear_n thy_o wrath_n our_o translatour_n as_o you_o hear_v translate_v it_o otherwise_o and_o therein_o follow_v learned_a man_n that_o go_v before_o they_o and_o the_o word_n if_o necessity_n require_v it_o will_v bear_v such_o a_o construction_n and_o teach_v a_o profitable_a truth_n to_o wit_n that_o howsoever_o the_o wicked_a do_v not_o know_v the_o 〈◊〉_d of_o god_n wrath_n yet_o those_o that_o fear_n god_n know_v and_o understand_v the_o same_o but_o i_o have_v rather_o here_o take_v the_o word_n more_o simple_o and_o read_v they_o thus_o who_o know_v the_o 〈◊〉_d of_o thy_o anger_n and_o of_o thy_o power_n wrath_n according_a to_o thy_o fear_n that_o be_v to_o say_v how_o rare_a a_o thing_n be_v it_o to_o find_v a_o man_n that_o have_v any_o true_a sense_n and_o understanding_n of_o this_o thy_o mighty_a wrath_n or_o that_o make_v any_o religious_a use_n thereof_o the_o first_o doctrine_n we_o hence_o observe_v be_v that_o christian_n ought_v to_o mark_v and_o observe_v the_o power_n and_o force_v of_o god_n wrath_n in_o all_o those_o particular_n wherein_o he_o show_v it_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n be_v a_o merciful_a god_n and_o love_v and_o gracious_a but_o we_o must_v know_v also_o that_o he_o be_v a_o angry_a and_o a_o wrathful_a god_n yea_o that_o he_o be_v exceed_o angry_a when_o he_o be_v provoke_v the_o unto_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o only_o consider_v and_o understand_v the_o sign_n token_n and_o effect_n of_o his_o love_n and_o kindness_n in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o sign_n of_o his_o wrath_n also_o for_o in_o both_o he_o manifest_v himself_o and_o from_o both_o he_o look_v to_o reap_v glory_n and_o he_o be_v no_o less_o powerful_a in_o the_o one_o then_o in_o the_o other_o and_o in_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n there_o be_v as_o much_o use_n of_o the_o one_o as_o of_o the_o other_o yea_o a_o man_n shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o discern_v or_o make_v any_o good_a and_o true_a use_n of_o god_n love_n that_o do_v not_o first_o regard_n mark_v and_o labour_n to_o understand_v his_o wrath_n the_o second_o doctrine_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o know_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a but_o that_o his_o anger_n be_v powerful_a he_o be_v mighty_a in_o his_o wrath_n vanae_fw-la sine_fw-la viribus_fw-la irae_fw-la that_o anger_n that_o be_v without_o strength_n be_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o to_o be_v fear_v and_o tremble_v at_o many_o of_o we_o can_v talk_v of_o and_o observe_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n in_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a but_o we_o use_v to_o make_v a_o matter_n of_o nothing_o of_o it_o we_o be_v not_o ordinary_o affect_v with_o it_o so_o much_o as_o with_o the_o anger_n of_o any_o man_n that_o have_v but_o the_o least_o power_n to_o hurt_v us._n but_o the_o less_o we_o mark_v and_o know_v it_o here_o the_o more_o we_o shall_v know_v and_o feel_v it_o hereafter_o the_o three_o doctrine_n that_o the_o greatness_n and_o force_n of_o god_n wrath_n shine_v and_o show_v itself_o in_o the_o mortality_n of_o mankind_n aforesaid_a so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o argument_n to_o show_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a and_o that_o his_o anger_n be_v exceed_o powerful_a the_o general_a mortality_n of_o mankind_n be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v the_o same_o who_o can_v deny_v that_o he_o be_v angry_a when_o he_o drown_v the_o whole_a world_n when_o he_o destroy_v the_o first_o bear_v in_o egypt_n when_o he_o overwhelm_v the_o host_n of_o the_o egyptian_n in_o the_o red_a sea_n when_o he_o destroy_v all_o his_o own_o people_n in_o the_o wilderness_n that_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n very_o if_o we_o can_v well_o consider_v of_o the_o matter_n it_o can_v be_v no_o less_o sign_n of_o god_n wrath_n that_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o after_o after_o some_o manner_n or_o other_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n must_v die_v and_o that_o so_o many_o age_n before_o we_o be_v dead_a the_o four_o doctrine_n that_o it_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n for_o any_o man_n to_o conceive_v aright_o or_o to_o understand_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a or_o that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o fear_n in_o his_o anger_n many_o so_o live_v and_o follow_v such_o course_n as_o if_o they_o be_v persuade_v that_o god_n can_v not_o be_v angry_a or_o that_o if_o he_o be_v angry_a it_o be_v as_o easy_a a_o matter_n to_o please_v he_o as_o a_o child_n hence_o when_o they_o have_v over-shot_a themselves_o in_o any_o sin_n if_o they_o say_v god_n forgive_v i_o or_o i_o cry_v god_n mercy_n they_o think_v all_o be_v well_o and_o they_o shall_v never_o hear_v more_o of_o the_o matter_n when_o man_n trespass_n against_o a_o man_n if_o they_o think_v they_o have_v hinder_v themselves_o by_o it_o how_o careful_a how_o diligent_a be_v they_o to_o pacify_v his_o anger_n and_o to_o seek_v to_o regain_v his_o favour_n and_o good_a will_v again_o whereas_o the_o neglect_n hereof_o to_o god-ward_o when_o they_o have_v offend_v he_o show_v evident_o that_o they_o little_o regard_v his_o anger_n or_o esteem_v it_o not_o prejudicial_a at_o all_o to_o they_o the_o five_o doctrine_n that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o know_v the_o force_n of_o god_n wrath_n but_o we_o must_v make_v a_o right_a use_n thereof_o we_o must_v thereby_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o tremble_v before_o his_o majesty_n and_o take_v heed_n how_o any_o thing_n may_v either_o incense_v or_o continue_v his_o anger_n and_o we_o shall_v take_v heed_n also_o how_o his_o anger_n provoke_v we_o to_o anger_n or_o to_o any_o sin_n whatsoever_o that_o may_v further_o provoke_v he_o verse_n 12._o so_o

complaint_n he_o annex_v certain_a petition_n wherein_o he_o crave_v of_o god_n such_o gift_n and_o grace_n as_o be_v most_o needful_a for_o man_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o mortality_n aforesaid_a in_o which_o petition_n the_o prophet_n pray_v 1._o for_o divine_a instruction_n 2._o for_o divine_a consolation_n his_o petition_n for_o divine_a instruction_n be_v contain_v in_o this_o twelve_o
