false_a believer_n if_o both_o be_v wicked_a liver_n a_o honest_a infidel_n will_v hold_v weight_n with_o a_o wicked_a christian._n and_o a_o sober_a papist_n be_v as_o good_a as_o a_o drunken_a protestant_n nay_o better_o inasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v better_a to_o glorify_v god_n what_o way_n soever_o though_o in_o a_o false_a faith_n then_o to_o dishonour_v his_o holy_a name_n wherewith_o we_o be_v call_v by_o a_o unholy_a conversation_n yea_o so_o foul_a a_o corruption_n of_o so_o holy_a a_o profession_n must_v needs_o much_o more_o shame_v his_o life_n make_v it_o ten_o time_n more_o

as_o he_o have_v no_o religion_n at_o all_o that_o deny_v the_o verity_n of_o divine_a doctrine_n so_o he_o have_v no_o religion_n to_o any_o purpose_n that_o hold_v the_o truth_n but_o deny_v

religion_n be_v in_o vain_a jam._n 1._o 26._o he_o read_v we_o a_o lesson_n in_o the_o next_o word_n which_o man_n in_o his_o time_n and_o likewise_o now_o will_v hardly_o learn_v viz._n that_o true_a

to_o visit_v the_o fatherless_a &_o widow_n in_o their_o affliction_n and_o to_o keep_v himself_o unspotted_a of_o the_o world_n ver_fw-la 27._o wherefore_o they_o be_v apostate_n from_o religion_n that_o relinquish_v either_o the_o doctrine_n or_o the_o practice_n of_o religion_n this_o of_o the_o first_o term_n in_o the_o next_o place_n by_o infidelity_n or_o unbelief_n we_o mean_v a_o withdraw_n of_o our_o heart_n from_o rest_v whole_o upon_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n word_n now_o in_o the_o word_n two_o thing_n be_v propose_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v believe_v 1_o all_o manner_n of_o

tend_v to_o the_o direction_n of_o our_o practice_n which_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v and_o embrace_v against_o all_o counsel_n terror_n or_o allurement_n whatsoever_o tend_v to_o draw_v we_o from_o obedience_n in_o our_o life_n both_o these_o be_v the_o object_n of_o true_a faith_n whereby_o man_n yield_v assent_v unto_o all_o doctrine_n commandment_n threaten_n promise_n of_o god_n not_o only_o as_o true_a and_o good_a in_o themselves_o but_o as_o better_a and_o true_a than_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v be_v set_v against_o they_o whence_o in_o all_o persuasion_n unto_o

they_o together_o how_o apostasy_n spring_v from_o infidelity_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v

who_o seek_v to_o glorify_v god_n by_o his_o obedience_n but_o god_n make_v he_o happy_a in_o the_o reward_n of_o it_o r._n 3._o three_o the_o last_o shall_v be_v from_o the_o power_n of_o god_n

again_o he_o have_v under_o his_o command_n the_o force_n of_o all_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n which_o he_o rule_v as_o he_o please_v to_o his_o own_o purpose_n he_o can_v at_o

this_o point_n which_o need_v not_o so_o much_o confirmation_n to_o convince_v we_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o as_o persuasion_n to_o move_v we_o to_o apply_v it_o to_o our_o practice_n i_o will_v therefore_o come_v to_o the_o application_n of_o it_o after_o i_o have_v in_o few_o word_n clear_v a_o doubt_n or_o twain_o the_o solution_n whereof_o will_v far_o illustrate_v the_o point_n itself_o q._n 1_o the_o first_o question_n be_v what_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o those_o that_o suffer_v evil_a for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n we_o see_v it_o be_v general_o the_o condition_n and_o lot_n of_o the_o godly_a to_o have_v very_o hard_a measure_n in_o this_o world_n if_o any_o sit_v down_o by_o the_o loss_n it_o be_v common_o they_o he_o that_o refrain_v himself_o from_o evil_n make_v himself_o a_o prey_n it_o be_v and_o will_v be_v true_a to_o the_o world_n end_n a_o godly_a man_n be_v a_o fair_a mark_n whereupon_o to_o discharge_v all_o the_o malice_n and_o mischief_n of_o the_o world_n and_o a_o goodly_a pleasant_a matter_n it_o be_v to_o the_o devil_n and_o man_n to_o heap_v all_o injury_n that_o may_v be_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o so_o hateful_a a_o person_n as_o be_v in_o their_o account_n a_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n how_o then_o be_v it_o true_a that_o god_n service_n bring_v we_o no_o damage_n i_o answer_v brief_o to_o this_o doubt_n three_o thing_n a._n 1_o that_o such_o evil_n as_o befall_v the_o good_a and_o godly_a come_v upon_o they_o ordinary_o not_o for_o their_o diligence_n but_o negligence_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n even_o they_o have_v their_o fault_n their_o pride_n their_o security_n their_o unbelief_n their_o profaneness_n in_o god_n worship_n their_o covetousness_n and_o then_o no_o marvel_n if_o they_o smart_v for_o it_o god_n

he_o have_v a_o hand_n to_o smite_v we_o as_o well_o as_o to_o defend_v we_o a_o rod_n as_o well_o as_o a_o crook_n and_o he_o love_v we_o so_o well_o that_o he_o will_v not_o spare_v our_o iniquity_n
