to him is this Shouldest thou Help the Vngodly and Love them that Hate the LORD How fit is this to be applyed to our Times See hence who ever Helps the Vngodly is in the Fault They now talk Good Men are upon both Parties Whom shall we Condemn or Follow We shall say this one word be they Good or Evil if they Love them that Hate the LORD and Help the Vngodly they are to be reproved See who does such are on the Wrong Side and to be reproved Shouldest thou Help the Vngodly and Love them that Hate the LORD Should ye Help them Higher for all the Little Good they have done with their Power which they have gotten already They have too much of it already O! that all the Vngodly in the World were many steps Lower nor they are What will they do then when ye have set them up They will set up Wickedness with it O! Help GOD and the Godly But beware to Help up the Vngodly They are High enough already and there is none who will Help to Raise or Hold them up But GOD will Reprove them for they can do Nothing when they are raised up but Wickedness This Scripture speaks plainly Shouldest thou Help the Vngodly We shall say no more of it but this Whoever has Helped the Vngodly at this Time are worthy of a Reproof We are in Two Parties now There is one Party the LORD and the Godly And the other Party the Vngodly See what Party ye will take now Shouldest thou Love them that Hate the LORD and Help the Vngodly Be what he will to you Jehosophat was joined in Affinity with Achab and so came of it But be who he will Father or Mother or your King should ye Love and Help him that Hates the LORD We shall only say this word and take heed to it for it is the Word of Truth Enmity and Hatred against GOD cuts off all Obligation Indeed we will say that tho' we were in the nearest Obligation that is to say even in that Relation betwixt a Father and a Son Yet in this Case it is cut off The Holy Ghost says That his Father and Mother shall thrust him throw while he is Prophesying We say this then Hatred of GOD takes away all near and far off Obligation for if they go on to Hate the LORD and to Blaspheme the Name of GOD afrontedly and Oppose the Truths of GOD and with Malice and Hostility Oppress the Work of GOD We may not Help and Join with them If any Man can give better Doctrine nor this he may But he cannot But Remember he brings it not from the Scriptures of GOD if he give you that which is contrare to this but we shall leave it Amen A SERMON BY Mr. Donald Gargill Isaiah 10. Chapter 3. Verse And what will ye do in the Day of Visitation and the Desolation that shall come from far to whom will ye Flee for Help and where will you Leave your Glory WE see here the Feast is done and the Reckoning is come The most part of us that 's here has gotten already that which Sin can give us I say the Feast is Small and there is no Body but they will say so when it 's over O! but I have gotten Little There are some Wofull Creatures that thinks they shall have their Penny-worths of Sin But there was never a Man yet that got a Penny-worth at the Devils Hand and so it is in his Hand now Have ye gotten your Wills out There are some Folk who must have out their Wills cost what it will Well it shall cost you Dear enough Has the Great Ones gotten their Wills out Nay They have not gotten it out yet They have gotten out some of it and some of it no yet They will be keeped always short of it For when they shall be raised and reckoned with they will begin and say then I have not gotten my Will And ye got your Will the Earth would be made like a Hell Now we must consider whom he is speaking this of Whom is he speaking it of He speaks it of Men like ours that had made many a Sinfull Act. We call them ours We desire in the Sight of GOD to retract that word But he speaks to Men that had done many Sinfull Acts. In the first Verse it is said Wo to them that Decree Vnrighteous Decrees and that Write Grievousness that they have prescribed And if they have not Decreed Unrighteous Decrees and prescribed Grievousness let their Act of Council and Parliament Testifie The Generation afterwards will Wonder that ever Men made such Acts. It may be thought there has been as Ill Acts made before There was an Abominable Act made by a King in Scotland that all the World counted Abominable But they have over-passed that Filthy Law of King Kenneth For their Laws are more Abominable nor if they should have Enacted Publick Whoredoms and Stew-Houses We shall say that one word The first of Sinfull Laws lights on the Subjects But the last and the heaviest lights upon the Makers I say the last and the heaviest Now it has been heavy and sad to us to Obey But it has been sader and heavier for us to Suffer That was the first But what will come of the last and the heaviest And what will come of you when you come to Reckon for your Laws and Grievances Shortly thir words shews that Great Law-Makers on Earth will be put to thir Questions Yet Kings must come down off their Thrones and stand at the Bar of the Tribunal of GOD and their Laws Which they have made will be laid down before them and it will be said to them Will ye own them Own them we must He that will own them must Disown GOD that Intaills him to the Wrath of GOD and they own their Laws before GOD as they own them now it will be a strange thing But this is the thing that we are saying and which we see here that the Greatest upon Earth upon the account of thir Laws which they have made will be put to thir Questions before GOD and there are Three Questions in thir words O! that every one of us where at a Point and could give an Answer and Solution to them The first Question is What will ye do in the Day of Visitation What you is this Even you that made Laws What more these nor other Folk Because they made Evil Laws How so Ye did set up a direct contrary Judicatory to GOD. When Laws is directly a conrrare Judicatory to GOD it says Ye take upon you to give out Laws and Laws that are contrare to GODs Laws Now what will ye do O! but this Question will put to Silence and Amazement the great part of Men. What we have nothing to do with their Sinfull Laws we never made the Laws Well nevertheless ye did give Obedience to their Laws It will be here the Law Maker and the Law
