when_o the_o king_n of_o babylon_n lead_v the_o church_n of_o israel_n into_o captivity_n from_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v dark_a like_o the_o temple_n be_v all_o burn_a and_o break_v down_o the_o church_n and_o people_n lead_v into_o captivity_n enemy_n set_v up_o the_o people_n of_o god_n overthrow_v that_o look_v very_o dark_a like_o but_o this_o look_v somewhat_o lightsome_a like_o again_o in_o the_o dispensation_n that_o the_o lord_n keep_v still_o some_o prophet_n teacher_n among_o they_o to_o point_v out_o to_o they_o their_o duty_n and_o what_o israel_n ought_v to_o do_v they_o be_v not_o keep_v without_o mean_n for_o they_o have_v the_o word_n and_o prophet_n among_o they_o that_o be_v light_n like_o and_o withal_o it_o be_v manifest_v that_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o 70_o year_n that_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v on_o they_o at_o babylon_n that_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v bring_v back_o again_o and_o enjoy_v their_o own_o land_n again_o and_o their_o former_a privilege_n this_o be_v white_a like_o as_o you_o may_v see_v wherein_o both_o their_o condition_n be_v set_v out_o in_o that_o 29._o of_o jeremiah_n 10._o verse_n for_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n that_o after_o seventy_o year_n be_v accomplish_v at_o babylon_n i_o will_v visit_v you_o i_o will_v perform_v my_o good_a word_n towards_o you_o in_o cause_v you_o to_o return_v to_o this_o place_n there_o be_v seventy_o year_n that_o be_v to_o be_v accomplish_v at_o babylon_n under_o captivity_n that_o be_v sad_a that_o be_v dark_a like_o but_o there_o be_v a_o return_n to_o their_o former_a privilege_n again_o after_o the_o seventy_o year_n be_v accomplish_v that_o be_v blythsome_a lightsome_a like_o again_o they_o be_v casten_z out_o of_o the_o kirk_n that_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v sad_a but_o they_o be_v a_o kirk_n among_o themselves_o that_o be_v lightsome_a like_o again_o they_o were_z casten_z out_o of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v at_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v sad_a but_o they_o be_v not_o casten_z out_o of_o the_o heart_n and_o mind_n of_o god_n that_o be_v light_n like_o again_o they_o have_v the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o good_a will_n to_o bring_v they_o back_o to_o their_o former_a privilege_n that_o be_v light_n like_o now_o that_o we_o may_v apply_v this_o to_o our_o present_a case_n for_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o stand_v most_o in_o need_n of_o i_o say_v for_o application_n we_o may_v apply_v this_o to_o our_o present_a case_n we_o may_v say_v it_o be_v the_o present_a case_n of_o the_o church_n of_o britain_n and_o ireland_n this_o day_n there_o be_v something_o look_v very_o black_a like_o in_o our_o present_a dispensation_n and_o there_o be_v something_o look_v very_o white_a like_a and_o day_n like_v in_o our_o present_a dispensation_n that_o be_v as_o so_o many_o white_a spot_n in_o our_o cloud_n and_o be_v something_o day_n like_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o night_n and_o in_o the_o first_o room_n we_o shall_v speak_v a_o word_n to_o what_o be_v very_o black_a like_a in_o our_o present_a dispensation_n and_o there_o be_v these_o black_a like_a token_n in_o our_o present_a case_n first_o the_o lord_z have_v take_v away_o his_o ordinance_n that_o be_v a_o very_a night_n like_o dispensation_n a_o very_a black_a like_o thing_n in_o our_o case_n i_o assure_v you_o it_o be_v very_o dark_a like_a many_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n they_o can_v see_v throw_v it_o it_o be_v so_o sad_a that_o he_o shall_v have_v empty_v so_o many_o congregation_n at_o once_o be_v very_o dark_a like_a second_o this_o be_v very_o dark_a like_a in_o the_o present_a dispensation_n that_o there_o be_v none_o to_o own_o zions_n case_n at_o this_o time_n all_o the_o great_a one_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o pass_v by_o her_o case_n all_o our_o noble_n have_v turn_v their_o back_n upon_o god_n and_o the_o kirk_n will_v command_v all_o their_o subject_n to_o do_v so_o likewise_o and_o all_o that_o will_v look_v a_o warm_a look_n to_o zion_n be_v the_o butt_n of_o their_o indignation_n that_o look_v very_o dark_a like_a that_o be_v a_o dispensation_n very_a night_n like_o the_o gentile_n have_v also_o for_o the_o most_o part_n turn_v their_o back_n upon_o zion_n and_o will_v own_v she_o with_o no_o help_n and_o will_v show_v she_o no_o compassion_n for_o her_o comfort_n that_o look_v dark_a like_o that_o be_v a_o very_a night_n like_o dispensation_n three_o this_o look_v very_o dark_a like_a in_o our_o present_a dispensation_n that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v so_o full_a of_o division_n that_o they_o can_v have_v light_a together_o to_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o sin_n and_o duty_n but_o that_o which_o one_o say_v be_v sin_n another_o say_v it_o be_v duty_n one_o godly_a man_n have_v a_o principle_n of_o godliness_n say_v such_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o duty_n another_o godly_a man_n say_v na_fw-fr but_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n this_o be_v very_o dark_a like_o this_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o great_a darkness_n when_o we_o can_v agree_v in_o judgement_n upon_o what_o be_v sin_n and_o what_o be_v duty_n but_o one_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n say_v such_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o sin_n another_o say_v na_fw-fr but_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n oh_o sad_a that_o this_o shall_v be_v among_o the_o godly_a even_o between_o the_o godly_a themselves_o it_o be_v very_o dark_a like_a it_o be_v nothing_o and_o it_o be_v so_o between_o we_o and_o our_o enemy_n it_o be_v nothing_o to_o see_v this_o betwixt_o the_o godly_a and_o the_o wicked_a but_o to_o see_v it_o among_o the_o godly_a themselves_o it_o be_v very_o sad_a and_o dark_a like_o four_o this_o look_v dark_a like_o in_o our_o present_a dispensation_n that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o fail_v and_o faint_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o there_o be_v and_o so_o great_a a_o turn_n aside_o to_o crock_v path_n and_o that_o there_o be_v so_o few_o valiant_a for_o truth_n that_o be_v very_o dark_a like_a in_o the_o present_a dispensation_n this_o be_v also_o dark_a like_o that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o know_v the_o time_n how_o long_o our_o darkness_n shall_v continue_v there_o be_v very_o few_o to_o who_o the_o lord_n be_v reveal_v any_o thing_n of_o his_o mind_n anent_o the_o delivery_n of_o his_o work_n he_o have_v hide_v himself_o in_o his_o anger_n he_o have_v hide_v himself_o in_o his_o wrath._n he_o have_v shut_v up_o himself_o as_o within_o a_o stone-wall_n and_o will_v not_o reveal_v any_o thing_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o we_o that_o be_v dark_a like_a this_o be_v also_o very_o dark_a like_a in_o the_o present_a dispensation_n that_o none_o stir_v up_o himself_o to_o lay_v hold_n on_o he_o and_o that_o there_o be_v so_o few_o to_o stand_v in_o the_o gap_n to_o turn_v away_o his_o wrath._n and_o this_o be_v also_o very_o dark_a like_a that_o all_o our_o public_a ordinance_n be_v go_v so_o likewise_o we_o have_v let_v all_o our_o private_a meeting_n go_v with_o they_o as_o it_o be_v the_o ruler_n by_o a_o wicked_a law_n have_v chase_v we_o all_o away_o from_o a_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o we_o have_v run_v away_o from_o another_o part_n of_o it_o unchase_v they_o have_v violent_o shut_v we_o away_o from_o the_o public_a ordinance_n and_o we_o have_v run_v away_o from_o the_o private_a meeting_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o we_o have_v not_o study_v to_o edify_v they_o as_o if_o we_o be_v loose_v from_o our_o ministry_n when_o we_o be_v shut_v away_o by_o a_o wicked_a law_n this_o look_n very_o dark_a like_o also_o and_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o great_a darkness_n that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o faithful_a able_a and_o honest_a minister_n take_v away_o by_o death_n at_o this_o time_n some_o by_o the_o lord_n hand_n and_o that_o by_o a_o ordinary_a death_n and_o other_o that_o enemy_n have_v cruel_o execute_v and_o so_o there_o be_v many_o a_o useful_a instrument_n of_o his_o work_n take_v away_o which_o indeed_o may_v have_v be_v useful_a instrument_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v keep_v they_o alive_a each_o one_o of_o they_o may_v have_v be_v as_o a_o thousand_o and_o if_o help_v of_o god_n will_v have_v be_v very_o useful_a for_o a_o glorious_a work_n and_o now_o their_o be_v remove_v and_o take_v away_o look_v very_o sad_a and_o dark_a like_a and_o be_v very_o black_a like_a in_o the_o present_a dispensation_n that_o the_o lord_n as_o it_o be_v shine_v upon_o all_o the_o design_n of_o the_o enemy_n and_o discountenance_n as_o it_o be_v any_o attempt_n of_o his_o people_n that_o they_o have_v for_o their_o own_o defence_n this_o be_v very_o dark_a like_a that_o almost_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o the_o enemy_n take_v in_o hand_n but_o it_o thrive_v with_o they_o
