when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n come_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n but_o natural_o every_o man_n have_v these_o he_o build_v up_o some_o castle_n against_o god_n he_o build_v up_o the_o

therefore_o god_n command_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v so_o thy_o wisdom_n have_v make_v thou_o to_o rebel_v let_v we_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o and_o make_v this_o use_n trust_n of_o trial_n of_o it_o that_o if_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n we_o can_v use_v all_o outward_a mean_n and_o not_o trust_v in_o they_o that_o we_o can_v trust_v in_o god_n and_o not_o to_o our_o

i_o only_o touch_v it_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o god_n first_o or_o last_o overturne_v all_o vain_a confidence_n in_o the_o creature_n creature_n the_o wall_n of_o jericho_n down_o

that_o you_o have_v kindle_v but_o take_v this_o withal_o with_o you_o you_o shall_v have_v this_o at_o my_o hand_n say_v god_n you_o shall_v lie_v down_o in_o sorrow_n what_o become_v of_o hamans_n

and_o munition_n yet_o god_n overturne_v all_o therefore_o let_v we_o make_v that_o use_n that_o jeremy_n 20._o do_v jer._n 20._o therefore_o let_v not_o the_o wise_a man_n trust_v in_o his_o wisdom_n or_o the_o strong_a man_n in_o his_o strength_n or_o the_o rich_a man_n in_o his_o riches_n let_v a_o man_n joy_n in_o none_o of_o these_o but_o if_o he_o will_v joy_v let_v he_o joy_n in_o this_o that_o he_o know_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n that_o for_o the_o second_o brief_o the_o three_o be_v this_o that_o god_n do_v this_o by_o base_a and_o weak_a mean_n he_o confound_v great_a and_o mighty_a enterprise_n mean_n and_o mighty_a person_n and_o use_v but_o base_a and_o despise_a mean_n as_o here_o the_o wall_n of_o jericho_n fall_v down_o with_o the_o noise_n of_o rams-horne_n this_o i_o may_v carry_v along_o through_o all_o the_o story_n in_o the_o scripture_n from_o the_o creation_n to_o this_o present_a time_n to_o show_v how_o god_n do_v great_a thing_n by_o despise_a mean_n sometime_o by_o no_o mean_n at_o all_o sometime_o clean_o contrary_a to_o all_o mean_n when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n give_v sight_n to_o the_o blind_a he_o put_v clay_n upon_o his_o eye_n that_o one_o will_v think_v be_v fit_a to_o put_v they_o out_o we_o see_v in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o israelite_n what_o a_o ox_n goad_n do_v and_o what_o samson_n do_v with_o the_o law_n bone_n of_o a_o ass_n we_o see_v by_o what_o a_o trick_n the_o midiani_n es_fw-mi be_v put_v to_o flight_n by_o gideon_n in_o all_o the_o story_n we_o see_v when_o god_n will_v do_v great_a matter_n he_o do_v it_o by_o base_a mean_n when_o he_o will_v confound_v the_o pride_n of_o pharaoh_n he_o will_v do_v it_o by_o frog_n and_o louse_n and_o such_o base_a creature_n that_o be_v fit_a in_o god_n wisdom_n to_o overthrow_v the_o pride_n of_o that_o wretched_a king_n god_n as_o he_o overturnes_a the_o pride_n of_o man_n so_o for_o the_o most_o part_n he_o do_v it_o by_o weak_a and_o despise_a mean_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v clear_a that_o he_o may_v have_v all_o the_o glory_n sometime_o the_o mean_n that_o he_o glory_n use_v have_v no_o influence_n at_o all_o to_o effect_v the_o thing_n but_o be_v only_o join_v with_o the_o thing_n as_o here_o what_o influence_n can_v poor_a trumpet_n of_o rams-horne_n have_v to_o cast_v down_o wall_n they_o can_v have_v none_o but_o only_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n join_v before_o the_o wall_n fall_v down_o they_o be_v thing_n that_o must_v be_v use_v to_o try_v their_o obedience_n and_o that_o they_o may_v know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o by_o chance_n that_o they_o fall_v down_o but_o by_o god_n power_n and_o for_o other_o reason_n but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o influence_n from_o the_o cause_n to_o the_o effect_n it_o be_v suppose_v it_o can_v produce_v the_o effect_n of_o itself_o therefore_o i_o say_v god_n do_v this_o that_o he_o may_v have_v all_o the_o glory_n for_o that_o be_v his_o end_n and_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v our_o end_n we_o see_v here_o though_o they_o have_v silver_n trumpet_n yet_o they_o must_v by_o god_n appointment_n use_v these_o base_a mean_n trumpet_n of_o rams-horne_n now_o they_o be_v to_o use_v they_o seven_o day_n digression_n together_o and_o therefore_o on_o a_o sabbath_n day_n but_o it_o be_v no_o breach_n of_o the_o day_n because_o god_n can_v dispense_v with_o his_o own_o law_n in_o case_n of_o charity_n good_a work_n may_v be_v do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n and_o in_o case_n of_o duty_n likewise_o as_o the_o priest_n kill_v the_o sacrifice_n on_o the_o sabbath_n so_o here_o
