be_v also_o we_o can_v believe_v he_o will_v be_v true_a to_o himself_o we_o ought_v to_o conclude_v he_o will_v gain_v glory_n to_o himself_o even_o by_o those_o very_a thing_n by_o which_o we_o may_v foolish_o imagine_v he_o forfeit_v or_o hazard_v his_o glory_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v not_o be_v most_o unreasonable_a we_o must_v be_v patient_a again_o this_o consideration_n also_o

too_o you_o may_v easy_o be_v confident_a he_o will_v be_v so_o a_o little_a faith_n one_o shall_v think_v shall_v suffice_v man_n to_o believe_v god_n will_v be_v true_a to_o his_o own_o concern_v that_o be_v to_o his_o glory_n truth_n and_o church_n and_o last_o this_o no_o less_o enforce_v the_o quiet_a of_o sobriety_n for_o what_o great_a madness_n can_v there_o be_v conceive_v when_o we_o

and_o disturb_v this_o order_n and_o yet_o every_o man_n do_v disturb_v that_o order_n who_o make_v a_o step_n out_o of_o his_o call_v that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o order_n place_n and_o degree_n god_n have_v put_v he_o into_o wherefore_o see_v god_n not_o only_o govern_v the_o world_n in_o general_n but_o particular_o direct_v all_o to_o the_o exalt_v of_o his_o own_o glory_n if_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v dear_a to_o we_o as_o we_o profess_v it_o be_v and_o if_o we_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v god_n let_v we_o be_v quiet_a with_o a_o quiet_a both_o of_o patience_n faith_n and_o sobriety_n the_o three_o and_o last_o argument_n in_o the_o text_n persuade_v still_o the_o same_o duty_n be_v god_n presence_n patronage_n and_o everlasting_a constancy_n to_o his_o church_n

nor_o do_v we_o listen_v to_o reflect_v upon_o our_o adversary_n practice_n though_o we_o can_v further_o beside_o our_o god_n promise_n we_o have_v our_o king_n promise_v too_o for_o the_o support_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o some_o man_n must_v pardon_v we_o if_o we_o give_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o credit_n to_o his_o majesty_n royal_a word_n than_o to_o their_o airy_a hope_n or_o ventose_a

than_o to_o approve_v insolence_n wherefore_o let_v as_o many_o of_o the_o adversary_n of_o our_o church_n of_o all_o sort_n as_o hear_v i_o this_o day_n take_v the_o text_n as_o
