salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n it_o be_v harsh_a but_o it_o be_v good_a news_n 2_o cor._n 5._o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n when_o you_o be_v gather_v together_o and_o my_o spirit_n with_o the_o power_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o deliver_v such_o a_o one_o unto_o satan_n for_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v save_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n speak_v of_o the_o incestuous_a person_n if_o man_n will_v be_v so_o wretched_a as_o to_o sin_v gross_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v order_v that_o such_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v deliver_v to_o satan_n for_o what_o that_o he_o may_v be_v damn_v and_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o hell_n no_o for_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v save_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o true_o belove_v i_o have_v see_v more_o than_o one_o that_o have_v bless_v god_n for_o that_o ordinance_n that_o have_v be_v bring_v to_o humble_v their_o soul_n and_o sweet_o and_o close_o to_o walk_v with_o god_n again_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n on_o that_o ordinance_n now_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o the_o worst_a in_o the_o gospel_n either_o reproof_n and_o that_o but_o upon_o great_a occasion_n or_o else_o deliver_v to_o satan_n and_o that_o must_v be_v upon_o extraordinary_a occasion_n yet_o both_o be_v sweet_a and_o profitable_a and_o precious_a for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o soul_n therefore_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o doctrine_n hold_v clear_a to_o you_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o gospel_n look_v which_o way_n you_o will_v but_o good_a news_n and_o glad_a tiding_n to_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n there_o be_v one_o objection_n more_o and_o so_o i_o proceed_v to_o wicked_a the_o use_n some_o body_n may_v say_v out_o of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a say_v my_o god_n isa._n 57_o ult._n and_o isa._n 48._o 12._o the_o wicked_a be_v like_o the_o trouble_a sea_n when_o it_o can_v rest_v who_o water_n cast_v out_o mire_n and_o dirt_n the_o prophet_n seem_v to_o comfort_v the_o godly_a but_o wicked_a man_n have_v no_o peace_n then_o a_o man_n may_v say_v how_o do_v this_o stand_n with_o your_o doctrine_n you_o say_v that_o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o peace_n and_o glad_a tiding_n and_o good_a news_n to_o wicked_a man_n even_o to_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n the_o be_v three_o way_n to_o answer_v it_o in_o few_o word_n gospel_n the_o first_o be_v that_o however_o isaiah_n be_v in_o a_o sort_n a_o evangelical_a prophet_n and_o speak_v many_o thing_n of_o gospel_n by_o way_n of_o prophecy_n he_o see_v thing_n for_o we_o and_o not_o for_o himself_o as_o peter_n say_v yet_o these_o kind_n of_o expression_n be_v more_o proper_o law_n than_o gospel_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v no_o other_o language_n in_o the_o law_n but_o that_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a transgress_v once_o and_o be_v damn_v for_o ever_o but_o the_o language_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v contrary_a it_o come_v and_o give_v peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a and_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a he_o preach_v peace_n to_o they_o that_o be_v near_o and_o to_o they_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o and_o who_o be_v they_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v emphatical_o sinner_n be_v we_o not_o jew_n say_v the_o apostle_n and_o not_o sinner_n of_o the_o gentile_n therefore_o this_o be_v rather_o law_n than_o gospel_n second_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a or_o to_o sinner_n say_v my_o god_n you_o may_v understand_v it_o also_o in_o this_o sinner_n sense_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o make_v any_o peace_n with_o sin_n though_o he_o send_v message_n of_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n to_o sinner_n though_o god_n be_v reconcile_v to_o a_o sinner_n he_o will_v never_o be_v reconcile_v to_o sin_n but_o the_o three_o and_o last_o and_o most_o proper_a as_o i_o take_v it_o gospel_n be_v this_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a say_v my_o god_n that_o be_v there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o man_n that_o continue_v in_o sin_n after_o jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v offer_v they_o and_o they_o have_v refuse_v he_o than_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o they_o observe_v for_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a concernment_n it_o become_v not_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o any_o mean_n to_o pronounce_v wrath_n and_o curse_v or_o damnation_n to_o a_o sinner_n qua_fw-la a_o sinner_n as_o a_o sinner_n he_o be_v not_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n if_o he_o do_v he_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o say_v here_o come_v a_o drunkard_n eo_fw-la ninety_n because_o he_o be_v a_o drunkard_n god_n will_v plague_v he_o and_o damn_v he_o this_o be_v the_o language_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o you_o will_v say_v will_v you_o speak_v peace_n to_o drunkard_n and_o sinner_n object_n we_o speak_v judgement_n and_o curse_n and_o damnation_n to_o sinner_n they_o when_o once_o we_o have_v first_o offer_v christ_n and_o they_o refuse_v he_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n and_o no_o other_o according_a to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o be_o to_o pronounce_v damnation_n and_o curse_v to_o wicked_a man_n because_o they_o refuse_v jesus_n christ_n because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n you_o will_v say_v be_v it_o absolute_o evil_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o quest_n speak_v against_o drunkard_n and_o swearer_n and_o whoremonger_n and_o to_o say_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n will_v fall_v on_o they_o etc._n etc._n no_o why_o because_o i_o speak_v against_o a_o drunkard_n not_o proper_o because_o he_o be_v a_o drunkard_n but_o his_o drunkeness_n unbelief_n be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o continue_v in_o unbelief_n and_o so_o have_v not_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n so_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o scripture_n there_o be_v a_o drunkard_n a_o sot_n a_o jeerer_n of_o godliness_n i_o say_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n will_v come_v upon_o he_o and_o the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n be_v ready_a to_o overtake_v he_o why_o not_o because_o he_o be_v proper_o such_o a_o one_o but_o because_o those_o be_v sign_n that_o he_o be_v a_o unbeliever_n when_o god_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n there_o be_v people_n that_o he_o will_v judge_v eo_fw-la nomine_fw-la because_o they_o be_v drunkard_n he_o will_v throw_v they_o to_o hell_n as_o those_o in_o the_o mountain_n of_o wales_n etc._n etc._n because_o they_o have_v but_o a_o little_a light_n and_o they_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v condemn_v and_o the_o heathen_n shall_v be_v condemn_v for_o their_o ignorance_n etc._n etc._n but_o under_o the_o gospel_n all_o be_v wrap_v up_o in_o unbelief_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o pin_n of_o heaven_n or_o hell_n the_o very_a ward_n that_o open_v or_o shut_v that_o you_o be_v believer_n or_o unbeliever_n but_o i_o will_v not_o stand_v long_o on_o that_o now_o i_o proceed_v to_o show_v what_o profit_n we_o may_v have_v by_o this_o doctrine_n by_o way_n of_o application_n there_o be_v divers_a special_a lesson_n that_o i_o will_v have_v sinner_n you_o learn_v hence_o the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o this_o truth_n that_o i_o have_v now_o teach_v you_o it_o be_v the_o door_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o very_a entrance_n into_o christian_a religion_n the_o first_o stone_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o christian_a building_n in_o the_o profession_n of_o religion_n in_o gospel_n profession_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o devotion_n and_o profession_n but_o it_o be_v not_o build_v according_a to_o the_o gospel_n but_o if_o you_o will_v walk_v according_a to_o the_o gospel_n learn_v this_o lesson_n first_o that_o be_v that_o god_n give_v life_n and_o salvation_n through_o christ_n to_o sinner_n as_o sinner_n though_o they_o be_v hard_o heart_v backslide_n and_o the_o chief_a of_o sinner_n yet_o as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v sinner_n and_o but_o sinner_n they_o may_v always_o look_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o salvation_n in_o his_o hand_n to_o be_v bestow_v on_o they_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o thou_o must_v learn_v and_o be_v teach_v it_o of_o god_n or_o else_o thou_o can_v not_o go_v one_o step_n into_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o belove_v till_o you_o know_v and_o learn_v this_o you_o will_v be_v like_o man_n in_o the_o dark_a you_o will_v be_v grope_v for_o christ_n jesus_n but_o you_o will_v never_o be_v graft_v into_o he_o you_o will_v never_o be_v knit_v to_o christ_n i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o first_o step_n to_o religion_n to_o understand_v this_o truth_n aright_o that_o the_o gospel_n bring_v glad_a tiding_n of_o salvation_n to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n
the_o new_a testament_n we_o shall_v labour_v for_o a_o full_a spirit_n of_o adoption_n what_o be_v what_o that_o that_o be_v that_o there_o may_v be_v nothing_o in_o my_o heart_n towards_o god_n but_o pure_a love_n because_o in_o his_o deal_n to_o i_o there_o be_v not_o a_o syllable_n but_o love_n and_o grace_n and_o glad_a tiding_n to_o i_o and_o my_o heart_n and_o life_n shall_v be_v answerable_a for_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o the_o horror_n that_o you_o find_v whence_o in_o your_o heart_n and_o all_o your_o fear_n and_o trouble_n that_o arise_v there_o they_o be_v from_o this_o error_n in_o your_o mind_n this_o opinion_n that_o be_v not_o quite_o root_v out_o that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n administration_n some_o ill_n and_o bad_a tiding_n there_o be_v some_o love_n and_o some_o hatred_n some_o mercy_n and_o some_o wrath_n you_o think_v that_o it_o may_v be_v god_n be_v your_o father_n and_o it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v your_o enemy_n and_o that_o because_o you_o have_v sin_v he_o will_v damn_v you_o to_o hell_n this_o be_v natural_a and_o ordinary_a now_o if_o you_o be_v convince_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o gospel_n since_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o be_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o his_o dispensation_n but_o love_n and_o mercy_n and_o no_o wrath_n hell_n and_o damnation_n and_o sin_n etc._n etc._n be_v all_o throw_v away_o and_o if_o i_o be_v perfect_o righteous_a and_o perfect_o justify_v from_o all_o my_o sin_n if_o i_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n give_v i_o and_o be_o one_o with_o god_n for_o ever_o by_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n and_o shall_v have_v life_n and_o a_o crown_n of_o glory_n for_o ever_o and_o my_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v lay_v to_o my_o

into_o the_o soul_n when_o i_o view_v this_o truth_n over_o and_o pull_v it_o by_o peicemeale_n and_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o gall_n nothing_o in_o the_o gospel_n first_o or_o last_o but_o what_o be_v amiable_a and_o beautiful_a and_o bless_a news_n to_o sinner_n then_o there_o shall_v follow_v this_o consideration_n why_o shall_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o my_o heart_n and_o

the_o carriage_n of_o my_o heart_n be_v clear_a towards_o he_o as_o his_o be_v in_o his_o son_n by_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o gospel_n towards_o i_o labour_n for_o a_o perfect_a spirit_n of_o adoption_n that_o you_o may_v not_o have_v any_o of_o those_o bubble_n of_o bondage_n in_o your_o spirit_n that_o now_o over_o take_v you_o and_o be_v twist_v and_o weave_v with_o that_o little_a adoption_n that_o you_o have_v for_o who_o be_v there_o among_o we_o to_o this_o hour_n but_o when_o he_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o have_v a_o little_a smile_n in_o his_o soul_n to_o see_v his_o favour_n and_o a_o little_a joy_n and_o delight_n to_o come_v at_o he_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o fear_n and_o tremble_a as_o peter_n when_o he_o be_v on_o the_o wave_n and_o what_o if_o god_n will_v not_o receive_v i_o etc._n etc._n therefore_o study_v to_o keep_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o keep_v up_o the_o temper_n of_o a_o child_n in_o the_o soul_n especial_o when_o god_n let_v a_o man_n fall_n into_o temptation_n and_o folly_n and_o weakness_n etc._n etc._n but_o though_o it_o be_v hard_a labour_n to_o keep_v up_o that_o temper_n at_o least_o thus_o much_o that_o thou_o never_o come_v to_o so_o low_a a_o condition_n which_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o one_o that_o be_v a_o good_a man_n wherein_o thou_o can_v not_o with_o a_o

on_o god_n with_o fear_n and_o can_v not_o cry_v abba_fw-he abba_fw-he that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o daddie_v daddie_a as_o our_o babe_n use_v to_o say_v if_o thou_o do_v not_o come_v so_o high_a thou_o be_v spoil_v and_o undo_v desire_v god_n to_o teach_v you_o this_o lesson_n also_o three_o if_o this_o be_v so_o that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v all_o glad_a tiding_n to_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n then_o i_o appeal_v just_a to_o you_o all_o and_o let_v every_o man_n put_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o own_o breast_n and_o if_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n as_o i_o hope_v it_o have_v be_v clear_v you_o shall_v all_o be_v your_o own_o judge_n how_o just_a will_v the_o damnation_n of_o that_o sinner_n be_v that_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o gospel_n if_o there_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n ridge_a tiding_n sad_a news_n as_o people_n be_v apt_a to_o fancy_v to_o themselves_o than_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o one_o persecute_v it_o and_o another_o despise_v it_o and_o another_o neglect_v it_o and_o another_o turn_v it_o into_o wantonness_n but_o when_o it_o come_v in_o such_o a_o stream_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o love_n and_o light_n and_o salvation_n and_o grace_n and_o all_o free_o lay_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o a_o sinner_n for_o his_o receive_n nay_o he_o shall_v have_v power_n and_o grace_n to_o receive_v it_o he_o shall_v have_v salvation_n and_o a_o vessel_n to_o carry_v it_o in_o judge_v how_o just_o thy_o damnation_n will_v be_v in_o the_o last_o day_n man_n or_o woman_n whosoever_o thou_o be_v that_o set_v thyself_o against_o the_o gospel_n and_o will_v not_o receive_v salvation_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o damnation_n come_v out_o so_o rife_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v scar_n ever_o mention_v in_o why_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o i_o know_v of_o damnation_n be_v not_o mention_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n nor_o hell_n but_o as_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o grave_n etc._n etc._n but_o when_o grace_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o life_n come_v damnation_n come_v at_o the_o heel_n of_o it_o how_o can_v you_o escape_v the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n then_o come_v the_o worm_n that_o never_o die_v and_o the_o fire_n that_o never_o go_v out_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o then_o damnation_n be_v proper_a then_o when_o a_o man_n will_v not_o receive_v salvation_n not_o because_o he_o can_v no_o man_n be_v damn_v because_o he_o can_v receive_v christ_n but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o receive_v this_o salvation_n and_o grace_n therefore_o say_v christ_n mat._n 28._o go_v

be_v you_o will_v say_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o thing_n gospel_n be_v not_o so_o very_o good_a because_o we_o poor_a sinner_n do_v not_o hear_v any_o thing_n in_o it_o for_o the_o body_n we_o do_v
