earthquake_n so_o the_o nature_n of_o security_n be_v to_o conceive_v a_o safety_n in_o the_o midst_n or_o approach_n of_o danger_n like_o the_o people_n of_o laish_n and_o as_o this_o be_v a_o sleepy_a eviil_n 18.20_o judg._n 18.20_o man_n will_v strive_v to_o sleep_v spiritual_o notwithstanding_o the_o noise_n that_o be_v make_v that_o may_v keep_v they_o wake_v so_o oft_o time_n the_o

all_o likelihood_n cause_v their_o carnal_a security_n that_o they_o regard_v not_o the_o spiritual_a danger_n of_o themselves_o or_o of_o the_o church_n 1._o great_a necessity_n 2._o worldly_a good_n 3._o negative_a goodness_n 1._o great_a necessity_n they_o be_v constrain_v by_o conquest_n in_o war_n at_o first_o to_o go_v down_o into_o babylon_n therefore_o have_v so_o just_a a_o call_n to_o

not_o fear_v their_o spiritual_a condition_n or_o any_o do_v amiss_o in_o desert_v the_o church_n for_o one_o particular_a great_a omission_n be_v nothing_o with_o man_n that_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o gross_a commission_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o every_o carnal_a secure_a spirit_n these_o three_o make_v they_o secure_v both_o for_o themselves_o and_o for_o the_o church_n 1._o for_o themselves_o first_o necessity_n at_o first_o become_v a_o voluntary_a impiety_n at_o last_o say_v the_o world_n we_o be_v bear_v in_o sin_n we_o have_v all_o our_o fault_n therefore_o they_o take_v it_o not_o to_o heart_n to_o be_v unconvert_v unchanged_a they_o think_v they_o shall_v do_v as_o well_o as_o other_o we_o be_v all_o sinner_n say_v they_o therefore_o as_o they_o think_v we_o be_v all_o alike_a sinner_n and_o we_o shall_v all_o fare_n and_o speed_v alike_o so_o because_o a_o man_n by_o necessity_n must_v deal_v with_o profane_a man_n 5.10_o 1_o cor._n 5.10_o therefore_o he_o think_v he_o do_v not_o offend_v though_o he_o be_v not_o shy_a of_o their_o company_n when_o the_o necessary_a occasion_n be_v end_v 2._o by_o reason_n of_o the_o world_n a_o man_n be_v make_v secure_a in_o his_o own_o carnal_a condition_n the_o profit_n of_o the_o world_n the_o not_o feel_v of_o worldly_a want_n rock_n many_o a_o man_n spiritual_o fast_o asleep_a in_o a_o carnal_a condition_n the_o rich_a man_n luke_n 12._o have_v fullness_n in_o his_o barn_n have_v fullness_n of_o peace_n in_o his_o heart_n that_o he_o need_v no_o more_o to_o enable_v he_o to_o say_v soul_n take_v thy_o pleasure_n when_o the_o belly_n be_v full_a the_o bone_n be_v at_o rest_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o cause_n that_o the_o apostle_n say_v not_o many_o mighty_a not_o many_o noble_a be_v call_v 26._o 1_o cor._n v._o 26._o the_o poor_a say_v our_o saviour_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d gospellise_v not_o only_o receive_v it_o but_o be_v change_v by_o it_o 3._o by_o reason_n of_o negative_a goodness_n man_n be_v very_o confident_a of_o their_o safe_a spiritual_a estate_n though_o be_v deep_o in_o a_o carnal_a luke_n 18.11_o mat._n 25.44_o if_o man_n omit_v never_o so_o much_o good_a so_o as_o they_o do_v not_o commit_v gross_a evil_n they_o think_v their_o condition_n safe_a the_o hardy_a man_n fear_v not_o a_o defect_n so_o long_o as_o he_o feel_v no_o pain_n in_o his_o limb_n 2._o for_o the_o church_n these_o three_o also_o do_v make_v the_o secure_a spirit_a man_n so_o secure_a so_o fearless_a and_o careless_a of_o the_o common_a good_a 1._o necessity_n at_o first_o because_o the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n have_v be_v captivate_v to_o the_o roman_n civil_o therefore_o now_o they_o can_v do_v nothing_o for_o the_o truth_n but_o against_o the_o truth_n spiritual_o to_o the_o persecute_v of_o the_o apostle_n and_o crucify_a of_o christ_n though_o the_o government_n of_o the_o roman_n do_v not_o intermeddle_v with_o their_o divine_a law_n 18.15_o act_n 18.15_o or_o religion_n though_o in_o christ_n time_n they_o have_v the_o most_o apposite_a time_n of_o the_o church_n reformation_n yet_o they_o be_v then_o most_o opposite_a matth._n 23.37_o matth._n 21.37_o they_o be_v all_o against_o the_o truth_n thus_o mighty_o do_v a_o beginning-necessity_n grow_v to_o a_o perpetuity_n as_o the_o philosopher_n tell_v of_o a_o drunkard_n that_o excuse_v himself_o that_o he_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o be_v drink_v because_o by_o custom_n he_o have_v habituate_v himself_o to_o it_o it_o be_v come_v to_o a_o necessity_n upon_o he_o he_o think_v not_o on_o this_o that_o by_o time_n he_o may_v unhabite_v unnecessitate_n himself_o again_o so_o because_o at_o first_o till_o christ_n shall_v come_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o divine_o instistuted_a ceremony_n as_o circumcision_n etc._n etc._n to_o point_n at_o his_o come_n gen._n 17.13_o therefore_o the_o jew_n think_v this_o necessity_n be_v upon_o they_o always_o when_o christ_n be_v come_v act_v 15.5_o just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o because_o in_o king_n edward_n the_o sixth_n time_n we_o be_v new_o come_v out_o of_o thick_a dark_a popery_n and_o in_o q._n elizabeth_n time_n new_o come_v out_o of_o bloody_a persecution_n so_o that_o those_o noble_a pious_a prince_n have_v neither_o opportunity_n of_o time_n nor_o space_n of_o time_n to_o draw_v a_o exact_a platform_n of_o discipline_n the_o time_n be_v so_o full_a of_o trouble_n therefore_o all_o the_o cry_n be_v that_o if_o we_o have_v just_o no_o more_o reformation_n than_o be_v in_o those_o prince_n day_n we_o be_v perfect_o well_o be_v there_o not_o as_o we_o say_v before_o the_o infancy_n of_o church_n gal._n 4.1_o and_o consequent_o the_o youth_n and_o manhood_n must_v she_o not_o be_v clothe_v with_o discipline_n suitable_a to_o her_o growth_n till_o she_o come_v to_o full_a manhood_n though_o she_o grow_v slow_a than_o other_o church_n as_o geneva_n holland_n scotland_n 2._o worldly_a good_n ease_n peace_n contentment_n when_o be_v the_o affliction_n of_o joseph_n slight_v the_o trouble_n of_o the_o church_n disregard_v when_o man_n be_v at_o ease_n in_o zion_n these_o time_n be_v for_o the_o general_a of_o the_o same_o complexion_n if_o danger_n of_o war_n be_v over_o conspiracy_n discover_v pursepayment_n past_a than_o they_o think_v the_o church_n be_v well_o enough_o reform_v which_o be_v as_o irrational_a as_o to_o think_v a_o man_n wound_v be_v whole_a because_o he_o have_v a_o gay_a suit_n on_o 3._o negative_a goodness_n because_o the_o conclave_n of_o the_o pharisee_n be_v outward_o as_o paint_a sepulcher_n therefore_o their_o church_n need_v no_o more_o reformation_n but_o oppose_v it_o whip_v it_o they_o can_v not_o be_v better_o because_o the_o general_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n then_o be_v as_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n virgin_n in_o outward_a show_n though_o foolish_a inward_o therefore_o 1._o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d they_o slumber_v 2._o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d they_o sleep_v first_o a_o sleep_n in_o carnal_a security_n and_o because_o samaria_n be_v not_o at_o a_o time_n so_o bad_a as_o judah_n therefore_o samaria_n conceive_v herself_o to_o be_v justify_v ezech._n 16.52_o so_o now_o adays_o because_o england_n be_v not_o so_o superstitious_a as_o rome_n so_o profane_a as_o germany_n therefore_o we_o be_v well_o enough_o reform_v as_o if_o one_o shall_v think_v because_o he_o be_v not_o sick_a of_o the_o plague_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o sick_a on_o the_o contrary_a the_o spiritual_a liberty-lover_n can_v trust_v himself_o or_o the_o church_n upon_o principle_n of_o carnal_a security_n 1._o not_o himself_o the_o principle_n of_o necessity_n be_v with_o he_o of_o no_o
