in_o i_o that_o this_o cause_n and_o this_o business_n be_v of_o god_n i_o will_v many_o year_n ago_o have_v run_v from_o it_o if_o it_o be_v of_o god_n he_o will_v bear_v it_o up_o if_o it_o be_v of_o man_n it_o will_v tumble_v as_o every_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v of_o man_n since_o the_o world_n begin_v have_v do_v and_o what_o be_v all_o our_o history_n and_o other_o tradition_n of_o

this_o be_v so_o the_o alwise_a god_n deal_v with_o it_o if_o this_o be_v of_o human_a structure_n and_o invention_n and_o it_o be_v a_o old_a plot_v and_o contrivance_n to_o bring_v thing_n to_o

another_o argument_n to_o the_o good_a people_n of_o this_o nation_n if_o they_o will_v be_v safe_a and_o have_v no_o better_a principle_n whether_o they_o prefer_v the_o have_v of_o their_o will_n though_o it_o be_v their_o destruction_n rather_o than_o comply_v with_o thing_n of_o necessity_n that_o will_v excuse_v i_o but_o i_o shall_v wrong_v my_o native_a country_n to_o suppose_v this_o for_o i_o look_v at_o the_o people_n of_o these_o nation_n as_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o be_v a_o people_n bless_v by_o god_n they_o have_v be_v so_o and_o they_o will_v be_v so_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o immortal_a seed_n which_o have_v be_v and_o be_v among_o they_o those_o regenerate_v one_o in_o the_o land_n of_o several_a judgement_n who_o be_v all_o the_o flock_n of_o christ_n and_o lamb_n of_o christ_n though_o perhaps_o under_o many_o unruly_a passion_n and_o trouble_n of_o spirit_n whereby_o they_o give_v disquiet_v to_o themselves_o and_o other_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o to_o god_n as_o to_o we_o he_o be_v a_o god_n of_o other_o patience_n and_o he_o will_v own_v the_o least_o of_o truth_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n and_o the_o people_n be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o angry_a but_o they_o will_v prefer_v their_o safety_n to_o their_o passion_n and_o their_o real_a security_n to_o form_n when_o necessity_n call_v for_o supply_n have_v they_o not_o well_o be_v acquaint_v with_o this_o principle_n they_o have_v never_o see_v this_o day_n of_o gospel-liberty_n but_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v object_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o talk_v of_o necessity_n when_o man_n create_v necessity_n will_v not_o the_o lord_n protector_n make_v himself_o great_a and_o his_o family_n great_a do_v not_o he_o make_v these_o necessity_n and_o than_o he_o will_v come_v upon_o the_o people_n with_o this_o argument_n of_o necessity_n this_o be_v something_o hard_a indeed_o but_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o make_v necessity_n whatsoever_o the_o judgement_n or_o thought_n of_o man_n be_v and_o i_o say_v this_o not_o only_o to_o this_o assembly_n but_o to_o the_o world_n that_o that_o man_n live_v not_o that_o can_v come_v to_o i_o and_o charge_v i_o that_o i_o have_v in_o these_o great_a revolution_n make_v necessity_n i_o challenge_v even_o all_o that_o fear_n god_n and_o as_o god_n have_v say_v my_o glory_n i_o will_v not_o give_v unto_o another_o let_v man_n take_v heed_n and_o be_v twice_o advise_v how_o they_o call_v his_o revolution_n the_o thing_n of_o

lessen_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o glory_n which_o he_o have_v say_v he_o will_v not_o give_v unto_o another_o nor_o suffer_v to_o be_v take_v from_o he_o we_o know_v what_o god_n do_v to_o herod_n when_o he_o be_v applaud_v and_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v god_n and_o god_n know_v what_o he_o will_v do_v with_o man_n when_o they_o shall_v call_v his_o revolution_n human_a design_n and_o so_o detract_v from_o his_o glory_n when_o they_o have_v not_o be_v forecast_n but_o sudden_a providence_n in_o thing_n whereby_o carnal_a and_o worldly_a man_n be_v enrage_v and_o under_z and_o at_o which_o many_o i_o fear_v some_o good_a have_o murmur_v and_o repine_v because_o disappoint_v of_o their_o mistake_a fancy_n but_o still_o they_o have_v be_v the_o wise_a disposing_n of_o the_o almighty_a though_o instrument_n have_v have_v their_o passion_n and_o frailty_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o honour_n to_o god_n to_o acknowledge_v the_o necessity_n to_o have_v be_v of_o god_n impose_v when_o true_o they_o have_v be_v so_o as_o indeed_o they_o have_v when_o we_o take_v our_o sin_n in_o our_o act_n to_o ourselves_o and_o much_o more_o safe_a than_o

have_v any_o man_n to_o come_v and_o tell_v of_o the_o transaction_n that_o have_v be_v and_o of_o those_o period_n of_o time_n wherein_o god_n have_v make_v these_o revolution_n and_o find_v where_o
