will_v but_o come_v up_o to_o the_o outward_a fast_a of_o the_o hypocrite_n we_o may_v have_v then_o some_o hope_v that_o desolate_v judgement_n and_o evil_n may_v at_o lest_o be_v put_v off_o during_o our_o day_n and_o will_v not_o this_o be_v wonderful_a mercy_n and_o not_o dear_o buy_v though_o we_o lie_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o ash_n not_o only_o once_o a_o month_n but_o once_o a_o

so_o with_o all_o the_o true_o pious_a and_o religious_a and_o i_o hope_v notwithstanding_o the_o general_a corruption_n and_o wickedness_n in_o the_o land_n there_o be_v such_o a_o number_n of_o these_o that_o if_o they_o will_v but_o diligent_o and_o constant_o in_o public_a and_o private_a cry_n mighty_o to_o god_n under_o a_o due_a sense_n of_o their_o own_o and_o the_o public_a sin_n and_o danger_n we_o may_v yet_o have_v hope_n of_o the_o lengthen_v out_o of_o our_o tranquillity_n and_o divert_v fear_v judgement_n if_o they_o will_v moses_n like_v constant_o hold_v up_o the_o hand_n of_o prayer_n and_o furnish_v themselves_o with_o such_o consideration_n and_o argument_n which_o like_o aaron_n and_o hur_z may_v help_v and_o support_v they_o in_o this_o work_n we_o may_v hope_v that_o our_o joshua_n shall_v yet_o prevail_v further_o against_o the_o amalekite_n god_n forbid_v that_o you_o shall_v to_o your_o other_o sin_n add_v this_o sin_n against_o the_o lord_n in_o cease_v to_o pray_v or_o in_o grow_v but_o cold_a and_o formal_a in_o this_o work_n many_o good_a people_n be_v apt_a to_o complain_v when_o judgement_n be_v threaten_v or_o inflict_v alas_o how_o can_v we_o expect_v better_o when_o there_o be_v so_o much_o wickedness_n and_o debauchery_n in_o the_o nation_n whereas_o they_o little_o consider_v that_o it_o may_v be_v as_o true_o lay_v at_o another_o door_n namely_o the_o neglect_n of_o that_o fervent_a prayer_n in_o themselves_o which_o may_v at_o least_o have_v stave_v off_o judgement_n long_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o be_v more_o peculiar_o concern_v in_o this_o work_n 1._o all_o pious_a minister_n it_o be_v their_o proper_a profess_a office_n to_o pray_v and_o to_o be_v example_n and_o encouragement_n to_o

time_n and_o leisure_n for_o set_v and_o solemn_a time_n of_o prayer_n both_o public_a and_o private_a than_o other_o and_o herein_o they_o may_v do_v as_o much_o nay_o more_o service_n in_o their_o closet_n than_o other_o do_v in_o the_o field_n i_o remember_v one_o of_o the_o powder_n traitor_n in_o his_o letter_n to_o the_o lord_n mounteagle_n by_o which_o the_o plot_n be_v defeat_v have_v

the_o latter_a end_n of_o this_o present_a year_n it_o may_v be_v say_v in_o truth_n concern_v our_o enemy_n they_o have_v receive_v a_o great_a blow_n and_o know_v not_o who_o have_v do_v it_o

as_o to_o some_o particular_a sin_n though_o they_o have_v not_o make_v a_o trade_n of_o sin_n as_o impenitent_a unbeliever_n do_v nay_o it_o be_v possible_a such_o person_n may_v be_v guilty_a of_o some_o sin_n that_o a_o wicked_a man_n can_v commit_v as_o spiritual_a pride_n lukewarmness_n sensible_a decay_n of_o grace_n partial_a and_o temporary_a backslide_n and_o the_o like_a and_o for_o

and_o property_n israel_n of_o old_a and_o the_o church_n of_o france_n of_o late_a have_v be_v sad_a instance_n of_o this_o truth_n nay_o i_o will_v add_v that_o in_o some_o sense_n the_o sin_n of_o believer_n admit_v of_o great_a aggravation_n than_o the_o sin_n of_o unbeliever_n as_o first_o they_o sin_n against_o more_o light_n and_o knowledge_n than_o other_o second_o they_o sin_n against_o

to_o god_n upon_o these_o account_n the_o sin_n of_o believer_n be_v and_o may_v be_v more_o provoke_v to_o god_n than_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o and_o more_o hasten_v public_a judgement_n and_o therefore_o this_o shall_v be_v a_o argument_n to_o such_o to_o look_v to_o themselves_o and_o to_o humble_v themselves_o great_o before_o god_n for_o these_o provoke_a sin_n of_o they_o that_o do_v not_o only_o bring_v down_o particular_a temporal_a judgement_n upon_o themselves_o but_o upon_o the_o whole_a nation_n god_n have_v a_o principal_a regard_n to_o the_o demeanour_n and_o carriage_n of_o his_o own_o child_n and_o none_o have_v so_o great_a a_o influence_n upon_o public_a judgement_n or_o mercy_n as_o they_o if_o they_o be_v watchful_a zealous_a devout_a and_o give_v themselves_o to_o prayer_n and_o other_o good_a duty_n they_o may_v and_o do_v often_o procure_v public_a mercy_n and_o the_o continuance_n of_o they_o and_o keep_v off_o public_a judgement_n yea_o we_o have_v

now_o to_o be_v find_v there_o be_v indeed_o abundance_n of_o profession_n great_a contention_n for_o opinion_n and_o party_n but_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n be_v lose_v or_o dwindle_v away_o

those_o person_n who_o not_o acknowledge_v the_o beforementioned_a wonderful_a providence_n of_o god_n towards_o this_o nation_n especial_o in_o the_o late_a great_a revolution_n be_v unthankful_a murmerer_n against_o god_n and_o enemy_n not_o only_o to_o those_o who_o he_o have_v be_v please_v to_o make_v the_o instrument_n thereof_o but_o to_o their_o own_o country_n they_o dislike_v the_o

for_o their_o enmity_n to_o the_o present_a government_n 1._o what_o sort_n of_o people_n these_o general_o be_v and_o here_o it_o may_v reasonable_o be_v demand_v why_o i_o rank_v this_o sort_n of_o sinner_n by_o themselves_o will_v they_o not_o come_v in_o under_o some_o of_o those_o head_n of_o sin_n and_o sinner_n i_o have_v mention_v before_o namely_o such_o as_o be_v open_o profane_a or_o pretend_o religious_a yes_o doubtless_o for_o it_o have_v and_o may_v be_v true_o observe_v that_o the_o generality_n of_o these_o murmurer_n be_v not_o only_o weak_a in_o their_o intellectual_n but_o

uncharitableness_n they_o may_v be_v find_v and_o include_v under_o the_o rank_n of_o the_o profane_a or_o hypocritical_a for_o they_o who_o pretend_v a_o mighty_a tenderness_n of_o conscience_n for_o a_o mistake_a duty_n towards_o one_o single_a person_n who_o be_v and_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o their_o country_n and_o religion_n and_o can_v dispense_v with_o all_o other_o obligation_n both_o to_o

by_o themselves_o be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v not_o include_v already_o under_o the_o kind_n of_o sin_n beforementioned_a but_o because_o they_o be_v double_a enemy_n to_o the_o government_n
