execution_n of_o justice_n therefore_o in_o such_o case_n as_o these_o find_v a_o general_a approbation_n and_o applause_n whence_o solomon_n tell_v we_o that_o when_o it_o go_v well_o with_o the_o righteous_a the_o city_n rejoice_v 11.10_o prov._n 11.10_o and_o when_o the_o wicked_a perish_v there_o be_v shout_v but_o to_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o proposition_n that_o be_v but_o the_o manifest_a consequence_n of_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v viz._n iii_o that_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n be_v terrible_a to_o evil-doer_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o since_o it_o be_v they_o that_o suffer_v by_o it_o their_o sin_n then_o find_v they_o out_o and_o bring_v they_o to_o public_a shame_n and_o their_o guilty_a conscience_n many_o time_n in_o such_o case_n be_v let_v loose_a to_o torment_v '_o they_o and_o happy_a it_o be_v for_o they_o if_o they_o can_v but_o repent_v and_o amend_v their_o way_n and_o so_o escape_v those_o endless_a torment_n to_o which_o sin_n else_o will_v inevitable_o bring_v '_o they_o they_o will_v have_v reason_n then_o to_o be_v very_o thankful_a for_o their_o cure_n though_o the_o method_n of_o it_o be_v never_o so_o bitter_a and_o unpleasant_a but_o it_o be_v a_o sad_a and_o a_o dreadful_a thing_n indeed_o when_o punishment_n in_o this_o life_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n be_v but_o a_o prelude_n to_o everlasting_a woe_n and_o misery_n in_o the_o next_o which_o yet_o must_v be_v the_o case_n if_o not_o prevent_v by_o repentance_n according_a to_o the_o four_o proposition_n manifest_o contain_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n viz._n iv_o that_o injustice_n and_o wickedness_n will_v most_o certain_o bring_v a_o man_n to_o ruin_v without_o repentance_n destruction_n shall_v be_v to_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n this_o be_v a_o truth_n which_o have_v a_o necessary_a connexion_n with_o and_o dependence_n upon_o the_o essential_a attribute_n of_o god_n his_o veracity_n and_o his_o justice_n he_o have_v say_v it_o and_o therefore_o no_o doubt_n he_o will_v make_v it_o good_a and_o we_o must_v have_v very_o unworthy_a thought_n of_o he_o if_o we_o can_v believe_v that_o ever_o he_o will_v suffer_v any_o man_n final_o to_o prosper_v by_o displease_v he_o and_o do_v evil_a see_v he_o always_o see_v it_o be_v it_o carry_v never_o so_o close_o and_o always_o have_v it_o in_o his_o power_n to_o do_v justice_n it_o be_v therefore_o most_o certain_a that_o he_o will_v one_o day_n meet_v with_o all_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n and_o convince_v they_o full_o to_o their_o everlasting_a satisfaction_n that_o he_o be_v no_o idle_a or_o unconcern_v spectator_n of_o what_o they_o do_v but_o do_v always_o intend_v what_o he_o have_v so_o often_o tell_v they_o in_o vain_a even_o to_o render_v to_o all_o man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n and_o then_o they_o will_v never_o call_v in_o question_n his_o providence_n any_o more_o nor_o have_v it_o in_o their_o power_n to_o be_v infidel_n any_o long_o in_o this_o world_n it_o can_v otherwise_o be_v but_o some_o will_v escape_v from_o justice_n as_o it_o be_v execute_v by_o men._n some_o be_v too_o big_a for_o the_o law_n and_o some_o too_o subtle_a and_o humane_a law_n can_v reach_v to_o all_o case_n they_o be_v indeed_o but_o a_o expedient_a for_o a_o little_a while_n to_o keep_v the_o world_n from_o run_v into_o a_o total_a confusion_n but_o whatever_o defect_n there_o may_v be_v in_o they_o or_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o they_o or_o howsoever_o man_n may_v escape_v here_o there_o be_v one_o above_o who_o no_o man_n can_v deceive_v none_o can_v bribe_v nor_o none_o can_v be_v too_o strong_a for_o who_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o do_v right_a to_o all_o and_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v plain_o that_o it_o be_v every_o man_n interest_n as_o well_o as_o duty_n to_o live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_o in_o the_o world_n and_o now_o have_v speak_v thus_o brief_o to_o those_o four_o proposition_n which_o be_v all_o manifest_o contain_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n as_o they_o have_v be_v explain_v i_o proceed_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o make_v some_o application_n of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v to_o the_o present_a time_n and_o occasion_n and_o i_o think_v if_o we_o reflect_v serious_o upon_o the_o doctrine_n that_o have_v be_v deliver_v it_o will_v afford_v we_o motive_n sufficient_a to_o the_o duty_n which_o all_o or_o any_o of_o we_o be_v now_o call_v to_o whether_o it_o be_v first_o to_o choose_v such_o a_o magistrate_n as_o we_o believe_v will_v be_v faithful_a to_o the_o trust_v repose_v in_o he_o and_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o lover_n of_o justice_n a_o patron_n of_o piety_n and_o virtue_n and_o a_o terror_n to_o evil-doer_n which_o be_v the_o proper_a business_n of_o some_o of_o you_o or_o second_o to_o discharge_v this_o great_a trust_n according_o and_o so_o as_o to_o answer_v the_o hope_n and_o expectation_n of_o good_a men._n or_o three_o to_o be_v aid_v and_o assist_v in_o the_o do_v thereof_o which_o be_v every_o one_o duty_n as_o he_o have_v ability_n and_o opportunity_n or_o last_o which_o be_v constant_o the_o duty_n of_o we_o all_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o so_o that_o a_o good_a magistrate_n faithful_o discharge_v his_o trust_n may_v be_v no_o terror_n but_o a_o joy_n and_o comfort_n to_o we_o the_o doctrine_n i_o say_v that_o have_v be_v deliver_v contain_v motive_n sufficient_a to_o every_o one_o of_o these_o which_o i_o shall_v crave_v leave_n brief_o to_o lay_v before_o you_o and_o so_o conclude_v and_o first_o all_z those_o that_o be_v concern_v may_v here_o find_v how_o much_o it_o do_v behoove_v they_o to_o use_v their_o endeavour_n that_o such_o a_o person_n may_v be_v choose_v as_o they_o believe_v will_v faithful_o discharge_v the_o trust_v repose_v in_o he_o one_o that_o have_v the_o courage_n to_o do_v justice_n impartial_o a_o friend_n to_o truth_n and_o right_n one_o that_o be_v of_o a_o true_a public_a spirit_n a_o lover_n of_o his_o country_n and_o of_o this_o great_a city_n in_o particular_a and_o which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o one_o that_o fear_v god_n a_o

be_v joy_n to_o do_v judgement_n and_o righteousness_n and_o who_o will_v do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o prevent_v the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n by_o exercise_v a_o wholesome_a severity_n towards_o they_o that_o if_o possible_a they_o may_v be_v reclaim_v or_o at_o least_o to_o stop_v as_o far_o as_o may_v be_v the_o contagion_n of_o their_o ill_a example_n such_o a_o one_o or_o one_o that_o approach_v near_a to_o and_o deserve_v most_o of_o such_o a_o character_n as_o this_o will_v every_o good_a man_n desire_n to_o choose_v for_o why_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o religion_n of_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n the_o desire_n of_o the_o public_a good_a and_o the_o hope_n of_o avert_v the_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n by_o give_v some_o
