A70812	The glasse of Gods providence towards his faithfvll ones held forth in a sermon preached to the two Houses of Parliament at Margarets Westminster, Aug. 13, 1644, being an extraordinary day of humiliation : wherein is discovered the great failings that the best are liable unto, upon which God is provoked sometimes to take vengeance : the whole is applyed specially to a more carefull observation of our late covenant, and particularly against the ungodly toleration pleaded for under pretence of liberty of conscience / by Herbert Palmer ...

that_o be_v in_o arm_n against_o the_o great_a judicatory_n of_o the_o kingdom_n if_o justice_n be_v not_o do_v upon_o those_o that_o be_v in_o our_o hand_n already_o and_o so_o purpose_v and_o

hereafter_o where_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n of_o persuasion_n that_o their_o heart_n be_v true_o turn_v from_o all_o desire_n of_o do_v future_a mischief_n prisoner_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n this_o i_o be_o most_o sure_a of_o that_o while_o any_o be_v under_o restraint_n in_o expectation_n of_o a_o sentence_n they_o ought_v at_o least_o to_o be_v keep_v from_o notorious_a provocation_n

that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v act_v by_o those_o that_o you_o employ_v in_o divers_a place_n there_o be_v a_o great_a cry_n of_o this_o how_o true_o and_o just_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o say_v but_o

that_o do_v without_o all_o peradventure_o he_o that_o be_v high_a than_o the_o high_a regard_n and_o there_o be_v high_a than_o they_o say_v the_o wise_a and_o kingly_a preacher_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o oppression_n and_o violent_a pervert_n of_o judgement_n and_o justice_n in_o a_o province_n eccles._n 5._o 8._o and_o god_n oft_o say_v elsewhere_o that_o he_o do_v and_o will_v hear_v the_o

that_o be_v in_o your_o hand_n main_o and_o that_o be_v the_o easy_a and_o the_o safe_a way_n for_o you_o and_o even_o for_o the_o oppressor_n themselves_o for_o by_o your_o do_v justice_n you_o may_v possible_o not_o only_o right_v those_o that_o have_v suffer_v wrong_a but_o perhaps_o also_o work_n so_o upon_o those_o that_o have_v do_v the_o wrong_n as_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o so_o as_o i_o may_v say_v you_o save_v god_n a_o labour_n and_o withhold_v his_o hand_n from_o take_v vengeance_n into_o who_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o fall_v say_v the_o

proceed_v a_o little_a further_o in_o a_o particular_a or_o two_o more_o specify_v in_o our_o covenant_n for_o reformation_n one_o be_v that_o we_o may_v ever_o remember_v that_o clause_n in_o the_o

the_o word_n of_o god_n you_o hear_v somewhat_o of_o this_o in_o the_o morning_n but_o i_o crave_v your_o patience_n that_o i_o may_v add_v a_o little_a to_o it_o doubtless_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v the_o only_a rule_n unto_o which_o we_o be_v all_o tie_v he_o only_o be_v the_o sovereign_a law-give●_z to_o appoint_v how_o he_o will_v have_v his_o church_n govern_v and_o so_o he_o have_v

to_o be_v vary_v by_o a_o human_a though_o not_o carnal_a prudence_n sufficient_a i_o say_v to_o preserve_v truth_n and_o piety_n and_o peace_n in_o his_o church_n and_o to_o expel_v the_o contrary_a by_o his_o blessing_n and_o no_o authority_n of_o man_n may_v presume_v to_o reject_v or_o over-rule_v in_o those_o thing_n where_o god_n word_n give_v out_o his_o will_n man_n business_n be_v only_o

i_o beseech_v you_o let_v i_o branch_v my_o exhortation_n from_o this_o into_o three_o particular_n word_n 1._o do_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a harken_v to_o the_o suggestion_n of_o any_o that_o will_v

express_v i_o doubt_v they_o will_v hardly_o excuse_v themselves_o from_o have_v take_v god_n name_n in_o vain_a in_o it_o and_o i_o conceive_v not_o how_o if_o they_o urge_v other_o to_o covenant_n in_o that_o manner_n they_o do_v less_o than_o cause_v they_o to_o sin_n by_o urge_v to_o make_v god_n name_n in_o vai●_z but_o however_o sure_o there_o be_v a_o time_n

this_o oft_o time_n within_o the_o sight_n and_o hear_n of_o evil_a man_n namely_o that_o he_o may_v let_v they_o see_v that_o they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o blaspheme_v or_o reproach_n the_o name_n

for_o any_o such_o misbehaviour_n they_o may_v also_o within_o a_o while_n be_v able_a to_o discern_v if_o they_o will_v mind_v it_o and_o not_o wilful_o shut_v their_o eye_n against_o the_o light_n of_o god_n providence_n that_o god_n be_v no_o favourer_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o best_a of_o his_o own_o and_o that_o as_o they_o that_o offend_v do_v not_o therein_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o
