solemn_a fast_a day_n and_o wrestle_v with_o god_n by_o prayer_n as_o jacob_n do_v with_o the_o angel_n and_o not_o let_v he_o go_v until_o he_o have_v bless_v we_o and_o our_o force_n i_o will_v to_o

that_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v in_o we_o evil_a heart_n of_o unbelief_n and_o so_o provoke_v the_o majesty_n of_o heaven_n to_o refuse_v to_o go_v forth_o with_o our_o host_n 1_o cor._n 10._o 6._o to_o 12._o there_o be_v three_o vice_n or_o sin_n especial_o above_o all_o other_o note_v by_o historian_n which_o bring_v danger_n and_o public_a punishment_n and_o calamity_n unto_o a_o kingdom_n

have_v hear_v here_o how_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n provoke_v the_o infinite_a majesty_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o wrath_n by_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o sinful_a action_n and_o cause_v the_o most_o great_a and_o terrible_a god_n who_o be_v their_o helper_n and_o defender_n to_o depart_v from_o they_o and_o leave_v they_o to_o the_o will_n of_o their_o enemy_n insomuch_o that_o they_o be_v smite_v of_o they_o sundry_a time_n oh_o that_o this_o may_v be_v a_o warning_n unto_o all_o from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a and_o a_o effectual_a argument_n to_o prevail_v with_o every_o one_o of_o you_o both_o officer_n and_o soldier_n for_o to_o leave_v off_o your_o most_o horrid_a oath_n your_o profane_a speech_n your_o dissolute_a action_n your_o intemperate_a drink_n

commandment_n of_o god_n can_v you_o reasonable_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n will_v abide_v with_o you_o or_o take_v your_o part_n against_o the_o enemy_n oh_o no_o he_o be_v a_o most_o just_a and_o holy_a god_n who_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n clear_v the_o guilty_a but_o will_v execute_v the_o fierceness_n of_o his_o wrath_n against_o you_o until_o he_o have_v destroy_v you_o from_o off_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o blot_v out_o your_o name_n from_o under_o heaven_n we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o this_o and_o many_o example_n in_o the_o

much_o great_a be_v the_o wrath_n and_o fury_n of_o our_o god_n and_o without_o comparison_n the_o number_n of_o our_o sin_n for_o which_o we_o have_v deserve_v to_o be_v utter_o overthrow_v it_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v note_v by_o you_o all_o that_o whatsoever_o people_n or_o nation_n fleet_n or_o army_n do_v press_v the_o lord_n down_o most_o with_o the_o weight_n and_o burden_n of_o sin_n that_o

the_o attribute_n and_o title_n of_o god_n he_o be_v most_o holy_a and_o therefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o may_v with_o great_a safety_n trust_v in_o he_o and_o rely_v on_o his_o word_n
