we_o shall_v see_v he_o face_n to_o face_n oh_o what_o fleet_n or_o army_n be_v there_o on_o earth_n or_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o can_v harm_v you_o if_o you_o be_v follower_n of_o god_n as_o dear_a child_n and_o doer_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o well-pleasing_a in_o his_o sight_n what_o human_a force_n or_o power_n can_v possible_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o or_o against_o you_o if_o your_o heart_n be_v but_o perfect_a towards_o god_n for_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n run_v to_o and_o fro_o throughout_o the_o whole_a earth_n to_o show_v himself_o strong_a in_o the_o behalf_n of_o they_o who_o heart_n be_v perfect_a towards_o he_o and_o who_o sincere_o endeavour_v to_o walk_v in_o his_o law_n which_o he_o set_v before_o we_o 2_o chron._n 16._o 9_o therefore_o let_v i_o desire_v of_o you_o all_o for_o to_o take_v heed_n now_o above_o all_o other_o time_n that_o your_o heart_n be_v perfect_a towards_o god_n and_o his_o church_n towards_o our_o most_o gracious_a sovereign_a lord_n and_o lady_n king_n william_n and_z queen_n marry_o towards_o the_o good_a and_o welfare_n of_o our_o land_n and_o nation_n and_o in_o the_o last_o place_n towards_o one_o another_o that_o officer_n may_v love_v the_o soldier_n under_o their_o command_n and_o the_o soldier_n be_v obedient_a and_o faithful_a unto_o their_o officer_n and_o then_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n will_v bless_v and_o prosper_v you_o whithersoever_o you_o go_v and_o in_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o you_o backbite_v and_o quarrel_v and_o prove_v treacherous_a one_o to_o another_o you_o shall_v be_v destroy_v one_o of_o another_o for_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o none_o other_o but_o our_o great_a lord_n and_o master_n himself_o that_o a_o kingdom_n a_o house_n or_o army_n or_o fleet_n divide_v against_o itself_o can_v stand_v but_o must_v fall_v into_o desolation_n and_o hence_o we_o find_v that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o joshua_n their_o captain_n and_o governor_n that_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o do_v rebel_n against_o thy_o commandment_n and_o will_v not_o hearken_v unto_o thy_o word_n in_o all_o that_o thou_o command_v he_o he_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n josh_n 1._o ult_n whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o prove_v treacherous_a to_o our_o bless_a governor_n and_o present_a government_n and_o will_v not_o obey_v their_o majesty_n order_n in_o all_o punctilio_n he_o shall_v be_v deal_v with_o as_o a_o rebel_n and_o traitor_n and_o no_o regard_n have_v to_o his_o commission_n because_o he_o have_v prove_v disloyal_a to_o his_o prince_n this_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n concern_v this_o matter_n therefore_o rebel_n not_o you_o against_o the_o lord_n neither_o fear_v you_o the_o people_n of_o the_o etc._n etc._n three_o and_o last_o that_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n himself_o and_o not_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n or_o to_o be_v very_o courageous_a in_o fight_v god_n battle_n be_v a_o duty_n require_v of_o all_o his_o people_n but_o especial_o of_o those_o which_o be_v call_v thereunto_o by_o lawful_a authority_n and_o a_o principal_a mean_n for_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n with_o or_o among_o such_o a_o people_n or_o army_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o lesson_n we_o may_v see_v confirm_v to_o we_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o israelite_n here_o in_o this_o chapter_n of_o our_o text._n for_o we_o read_v that_o they_o by_o their_o fear_n and_o faint-heartedness_n by_o their_o unbelief_n and_o cowardice_n when_o god_n have_v command_v they_o not_o to_o fear_v or_o to_o be_v afraid_a at_o the_o outward_a strength_n and_o power_n of_o their_o enemy_n the_o amorites_n and_o canaanites_n thereby_o tempt_v the_o lord_n and_o provoke_v he_o to_o wrath_n because_o he_o be_v their_o strength_n and_o defence_n and_o fight_v all_o their_o battle_n insomuch_o that_o he_o forsake_v they_o and_o depart_v whereupon_o the_o prophet_n moses_n tell_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o prosper_v for_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o among_o you_o and_o therefore_o go_v not_o up_o against_o the_o enemy_n say_v he_o lest_o you_o be_v smite_v of_o they_o and_o so_o they_o be_v indeed_o when_o god_n their_o helper_n and_o defender_n be_v not_o with_o they_o see_z vers_n 41_o 42_o 44_o 45._o so_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n the_o mighty_a god_n and_o terrible_a send_v his_o spirit_n upon_o jahaziel_n and_o command_v he_o to_o tell_v jehoshaphat_n say_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n unto_o you_o be_v not_o afraid_a nor_o be_v dismay_v by_o reason_n of_o this_o great_a multitude_n for_o the_o battle_n be_v not_o you_o but_o go_n to_o morrow_n go_v out_o very_o courageous_o against_o they_o for_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v with_o you_o 2_o

be_v thou_o dismay_v for_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n be_v with_o thou_o whithersoever_o thou_o go_v josh_n 1._o 9_o so_o in_o the_o word_n of_o our_o text_n rebel_n not_o you_o against_o the_o lord_n

pusillanimous_a and_o faithless_a generation_n what_o then_o must_v we_o say_v unto_o very_o many_o in_o this_o age_n who_o be_v afraid_a at_o the_o very_a shake_n of_o a_o aspenleaf_n and_o hide_v themselves_o at_o the_o beat_v of_o a_o drum_n or_o sound_v of_o a_o trumpet_n let_v i_o ask_v they_o if_o they_o think_v such_o pusillanimity_n be_v decent_a in_o any_o one_o who_o be_v call_v a_o
