kingdom_n of_o heaven_n suffer_v violence_n and_o the_o violence_n take_v it_o by_o force_n the_o meaning_n be_v this_o say_v christ_n to_o they_o we_o preach_v the_o gospel_n so_o do_v john_n with_o he_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v preach_v but_o deceive_v not_o yourselves_o many_o think_v they_o take_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o take_v some_o be_v content_a to_o be_v save_v and_o to_o do_v many_o thing_n as_o herod_n do_v and_o as_o the_o second_o and_o three_o ground_n do_v but_o this_o be_v a_o false_a take_n and_o deceive_v not_o yourselves_o thereby_o there_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o take_v when_o a_o man_n take_v this_o kingdom_n violent_o and_o indeed_o none_o shall_v have_v it_o but_o after_o this_o manner_n now_o what_o be_v it_o to_o take_v it_o violent_o when_o a_o man_n take_v a_o thing_n violent_o he_o do_v it_o with_o all_o his_o might_n he_o put_v all_o his_o strength_n to_o it_o he_o do_v it_o not_o cold_o and_o slight_o and_o overly_o but_o with_o all_o his_o might_n so_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v as_o if_o one_o be_v to_o come_v within_o a_o narrow_a door_n which_o can_v be_v without_o difficulty_n when_o he_o put_v to_o all_o his_o violence_n and_o strength_n to_o do_v it_o according_a to_o the_o phrase_n in_o luke_n since_o the_o time_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n they_o press_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n that_o be_v with_o violence_n as_o if_o god_n seem_v to_o hold_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o his_o hand_n that_o unless_o you_o pull_v it_o and_o extort_v it_o from_o he_o as_o it_o be_v you_o shall_v never_o have_v it_o now_o will_v any_o man_n do_v thus_o till_o he_o be_v humble_v it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v when_o a_o man_n be_v bring_v into_o fear_n of_o his_o life_n and_o be_v like_a to_o die_v the_o fear_n of_o loss_n of_o natural_a life_n will_v make_v he_o work_v any_o thing_n with_o violence_n much_o more_o than_o when_o a_o man_n see_v eternal_a death_n that_o he_o shall_v die_v for_o ever_o will_v he_o take_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n with_o violence_n that_o be_v he_o will_v not_o perform_v duty_n in_o a_o slight_a manner_n as_o if_o god_n be_v behold_v to_o he_o not_o with_o that_o laxity_n in_o his_o judgement_n of_o the_o truth_n as_o he_o conceive_v nor_o with_o that_o coldness_n in_o the_o duty_n those_o that_o will_v be_v save_v must_v take_v salvation_n by_o force_n which_o a_o man_n will_v never_o do_v till_o he_o be_v humble_v there_o be_v much_o profession_n and_o many_o kind_n of_o take_v christ_n in_o the_o world_n but_o the_o right_a take_n be_v when_o a_o man_n will_v be_v at_o this_o cost_n to_o part_v with_o all_o to_o deny_v himself_o perfect_o and_o every_o way_n and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o every_o cross_n when_o his_o lust_n be_v thorough_o mortify_v and_o this_o can_v be_v till_o he_o be_v humble_v for_o mark_v nothing_o mortify_v but_o joy_n and_o love_n that_o do_v proper_o and_o immediate_o mortify_v for_o no_o man_n will_v part_v with_o his_o lust_n till_o he_o find_v christ_n sweet_a than_o they_o till_o than_o he_o will_v never_o part_v with_o they_o in_o good_a earnest_n now_o christ_n will_v never_o be_v sweet_a till_o we_o have_v find_v the_o bitterness_n of_o sin_n till_o god_n have_v so_o press_v it_o on_o their_o conscience_n that_o they_o feel_v the_o weight_n and_o burden_n of_o it_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o 1_o now_o the_o use_n of_o this_o be_v double_a first_o be_v this_o so_o necessary_a then_o labour_v to_o see_v yourself_o humble_v if_o ever_o you_o look_v to_o be_v save_v and_o justify_v for_o though_o god_n offer_v salvation_n to_o all_o as_o it_o be_v true_a none_o

a_o certainty_n in_o it_o for_o god_n have_v reveal_v it_o from_o heaven_n rom._n 2.15_o they_o have_v thought_n accuse_v and_o excuse_v they_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o

the_o world_n continual_o last_o by_o the_o scripture_n curse_v be_v every_o one_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o the_o whole_a law_n to_o do_v it_o and_o as_o the_o law_n so_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v it_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n heart_n according_a to_o my_o gospel_n nay_o it_o be_v a_o old_a truth_n deliver_v before_o the_o scripture_n as_o in_o judes_n epistle_n enoch_n preach_v behold_v the_o lord_n shall_v come_v with_o ten_o thousand_o of_o angel_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o this_o will_v not_o persuade_v we_o will_v reason_n with_o you_o a_o little_a for_o it_o be_v not_o needless_a to_o strengthen_v these_o common_a truth_n with_o reason_n because_o we_o be_v not_o convince_v of_o they_o enough_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n man_n live_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o consider_v if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n he_o be_v not_o a_o negligent_a a_o idle_a or_o unactive_a god_n for_o shall_v he_o be_v such_o a_o god_n he_o must_v either_o be_v dead_a or_o asleep_a but_o god_n be_v a_o live_a god_n and_o if_o so_o then_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n now_o in_o that_o the_o main_a business_n be_v to_o punish_v and_o restrain_v they_o that_o be_v evil_a and_o to_o reward_v they_o that_o be_v good_a again_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n he_o will_v be_v fear_v and_o worship_v by_o man_n but_o if_o he_o will_v not_o punish_v man_n for_o sin_n if_o his_o wrath_n can_v not_o be_v kindle_v against_o they_o for_o their_o provocation_n of_o he_o he_o shall_v do_v neither_o good_a nor_o hurt_n and_o it_o be_v natural_a to_o man_n to_o condemn_v that_o that_o can_v neither_o hurt_v nor_o profit_v they_o and_o so_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v fear_v again_o if_o there_o be_v any_o god_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v delight_v in_o goodness_n he_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o certain_a inclination_n to_o that_o which_o be_v holy_a and_o right_a and_o if_o so_o than_o he_o must_v needs_o hate_v that_o that_o be_v evil_a if_o he_o love_v light_a he_o must_v needs_o hate_v darkness_n if_o he_o love_v life_n he_o must_v needs_o hate_v death_n and_o indeed_o love_v of_o goodness_n proceed_v from_o hatred_n of_o evil_a and_o hatred_n of_o evil_n arise_v from_o love_n of_o goodness_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o why_o shall_v not_o hatred_n be_v active_a as_o well_o as_o love_v therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a there_o shall_v wrath_n come_v against_o all_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n observable_a second_o what_o kind_n of_o wrath_n be_v this_o in_o this_o wrath_n you_o shall_v observe_v three_o thing_n first_o there_o be_v a_o treasure_n of_o this_o wrath_n rom._n 2.5_o treasure_n thou_o according_a to_o the_o hardness_n of_o thy_o heart_n that_o can_v repent_v treasure_v up_o wrath_n now_o in_o a_o treasure_n you_o shall_v find_v three_o thing_n first_o it_o be_v a_o heap_n and_o there_o be_v still_o a_o addition_n thereto_o a_o man_n grow_v rich_a and_o rich_a save_v shilling_n and_o penny_n and_o they_o still_o add_v to_o the_o heap_n so_o god_n add_v to_o the_o heap_n of_o his_o wrath_n as_o man_n add_v sin_n he_o add_v drop_n to_o his_o viol_n and_o when_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v full_a than_o the_o viol_n of_o his_o wrath_n be_v full_a it_o be_v still_o increase_v let_v not_o a_o man_n think_v that_o when_o he_o be_v over_o the_o shoe_n he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o for_o wrath_n receive_v addition_n second_o treasure_n be_v close_o and_o cover_v there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o they_o for_o the_o present_a it_o be_v therefore_o say_v wrath_n be_v ●owne_n for_o the_o wicked_a as_o joy_n be_v sow_v for_o the_o righteous_a it_o lie_v under_o the_o ground_n for_o a_o time_n therefore_o do_v not_o say_v god_n be_v slack_a because_o you_o find_v not_o his_o wrath_n present_o pour_v forth_o it_o be_v not_o slackness_n but_o patience_n and_o if_o you_o do_v of_o negligence_n sin_n and_o god_n mark_n it_o not_o but_o be_v patient_a towards_o you_o and_o suffer_v you_o know_v that_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v that_o patience_n of_o he_o to_o be_v abuse_v but_o for_o every_o hour_n that_o you_o

then_o therefore_o i_o will_v cast_v she_o into_o great_a tribulation_n so_o that_o as_o god_n be_v angry_a and_o as_o his_o wrath_n increase_v so_o it_o lie_v hide_v for_o a_o time_n three_o there_o be_v a_o expense_n of_o treasure_n in_o time_n of_o need_n they_o bring_v they_o forth_o and_o use_v they_o so_o do_v god_n partly_o in_o this_o life_n when_o he_o shall_v smite_v a_o man_n with_o

just_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v then_o be_v declare_v which_o be_v now_o for_o a_o time_n hide_v second_o it_o as_o there_o be_v a_o treasure_n of_o his_o wrath_n so_o there_o be_v a_o power_n of_o his_o wrath_n psal._n 90.11_o who_o know_v the_o power_n of_o thy_o anger_n that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o a_o wrath_n like_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n but_o a_o wrath_n that_o have_v much_o

his_o justice_n on_o the_o wicked_a therefore_o it_o be_v say_v rom._n 9.22_o what_o if_o god_n willing_a to_o show_v his_o wrath_n and_o to_o make_v his_o power_n know_v endure_v with_o much_o

therefore_o it_o be_v say_v who_o know_v the_o power_n of_o his_o wrath_n you_o know_v the_o wrath_n of_o a_o king_n be_v great_a because_o he_o be_v powerful_a and_o how_o much_o the_o power_n of_o god_n exceed_v the_o power_n of_o a_o king_n so_o much_o his_o wrath_n exceed_v the_o wrath_n of_o a_o king_n it_o be_v therefore_o compare_v to_o a_o consume_a fire_n that_o devour_v all_o to_o the_o wind_n that_o break_v the_o rock_n in_o sunder_o and_o to_o a_o overflow_a river_n that_o carry_v all_o away_o with_o it_o consider_v god_n therefore_o in_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o power_n for_o such_o be_v he_o in_o his_o wrath_n it_o three_o consider_v the_o suddenness_n of_o it_o it_o come_v sudden_o on_o man_n and_o that_o make_v it_o the_o more_o fearful_a if_o god_n give_v warning_n

of_o sin_n you_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o punishment_n if_o such_o a_o one_o as_o aristotle_n or_o a_o stranger_n from_o the_o truth_n shall_v hear_v of_o this_o punishment_n the_o

not_o deceive_v for_o for_o such_o thing_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v on_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n and_o observe_v when_o christ_n go_v about_o to_o show_v to_o any_o man_n or_o to_o any_o church_n what_o their_o sin_n be_v or_o what_o their_o danger_n be_v he_o add_v this_o let_v he_o that_o have_v a_o ear_n hear_v what_o the_o spirit_n say_v to_o the_o church_n his_o end_n be_v to_o tell_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n still_o that_o come_v in_o he_o that_o have_v a_o ear_n to_o hear_v let_v he_o hear_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v when_o i_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o matter_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v many_o here_o that_o can_v tell_v what_o i_o say_v that_o can_v understand_v i_o well_o but_o few_o have_v ear_n to_o understand_v indeed_o as_o when_o the_o prophet_n come_v to_o jeroboam_fw-la he_o hear_v the_o prophet_n so_o as_o it_o anger_v he_o he_o know_v what_o his_o sin_n be_v but_o he_o hear_v it_o not_o to_o purpose_v so_o when_o christ_n pronounce_v a_o woe_n to_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n they_o hear_v it_o well_o enough_o but_o they_o have_v not_o a_o ear_n to_o hear_v it_o to_o purpose_n man_n may_v hear_v what_o flesh_n and_o common_a reason_n and_o common_a man_n say_v of_o sin_n but_o not_o what_o the_o spirit_n say_v of_o it_o there_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o sinfulness_n in_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a evil_n of_o sin_n and_o what_o the_o spirit_n say_v of_o this_o they_o do_v not_o hear_v therefore_o you_o must_v even_o be_v bring_v to_o christ_n as_o the_o deaf_a man_n be_v who_o be_v both_o deaf_a and_o dumb_a be_v bring_v to_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v lay_v his_o hand_n on_o he_o now_o christ_n put_v his_o finger_n into_o his_o ear_n and_o say_v ephata_n be_v thou_o open_v and_o then_o the_o man_n hear_v and_o speak_v so_o of_o all_o man_n that_o hear_v this_o word_n there_o be_v not_o a_o man_n but_o he_o be_v deaf_a according_a to_o this_o inward_a kind_n of_o hear_v therefore_o you_o must_v be_v
