never_o plead_v for_o upon_o earth_n god_n be_v thank_v all_o immorality_n stand_v condemn_v by_o a_o law_n what_o ever_o the_o practice_n of_o man_n be_v or_o whatever_o the_o cowardice_n or_o

or_o state_n i_o know_v no_o iniquity_n establish_v by_o a_o law_n unless_o it_o be_v some_o sort_n of_o theft_n and_o that_o the_o very_o worst_a i_o mean_v sacrilege_n and_o i_o be_o very_o far_o from_o be_v sure_a of_o that_o god_n be_v thank_v for_o our_o law_n the_o gospel_n have_v not_o all_o way_n nay_o seldom_o since_o the_o pure_a and_o primitive_a time_n of_o it_o prove_v sufficient_a to_o overcome_v the_o baseness_n of_o human_a nature_n and_o no_o man_n ever_o dispute_v the_o magistrate_n power_n in_o make_v such_o law_n against_o immorality_n there_o be_v a_o great_a necessity_n of_o make_v of_o they_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v the_o exigence_n of_o mankind_n the_o second_o be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n neither_o of_o which_o without_o the_o make_n of_o these_o law_n can_v be_v provide_v for_o as_o for_o the_o first_o we_o need_v not_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o fetch_v argument_n from_o divinity_n to_o prove_v what_o have_v be_v the_o constant_a voice_n and_o experience_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o true_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n can_v as_o little_a subsist_v without_o make_v these_o law_n i_o mean_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o this_o world_n for_o as_o for_o his_o eternal_a and_o internal_a as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v glory_n and_o perfection_n as_o likewise_o that_o which_o be_v manifest_v among_o the_o bless_a spirit_n all_o our_o deed_n of_o darkness_n can_v never_o cast_v any_o shadow_n upon_o it_o though_o in_o this_o world_n god_n honour_n be_v much_o disgrace_v by_o our_o transgression_n and_o one_o reason_n why_o it_o must_v be_v so_o be_v god_n have_v make_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o be_v his_o own_o in_o a_o particular_a manner_n indeed_o they_o be_v his_o own_o at_o first_o by_o write_v they_o upon_o our_o nature_n and_o in_o our_o heart_n but_o he_o make_v they_o his_o own_o by_o a_o particular_a sanction_n he_o do_v so_o to_o the_o jewish_a nation_n when_o the_o government_n be_v pure_o theotracy_n and_o god_n be_v please_v to_o come_v down_o upon_o the_o mount_n to_o manage_v all_o thing_n himself_o and_o to_o speak_v the_o ten_o commandment_n to_o the_o people_n and_o the_o author_n of_o our_o institution_n be_v so_o far_o from_o take_v that_o law_n away_o that_o he_o tell_v we_o in_o his_o first_o sermon_n from_o his_o mouth_n that_o he_o come_v to_o fulfil_v it_o i._n e._n to_o fill_v it_o up_o now_o if_o god_n as_o if_o he_o be_v pater_fw-la patrioe_v as_o well_o as_o pater_fw-la coeli_fw-la father_n of_o nation_n as_o well_o as_o father_n of_o heaven_n require_v obedience_n to_o those_o law_n which_o be_v give_v we_o for_o the_o security_n and_o peace_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v a_o small_a return_n to_o his_o honour_n to_o see_v these_o law_n his_o and_o we_o he_o as_o well_o as_o we_o he_o by_o way_n of_o sanction_n because_o we_o by_o way_n of_o benefit_n put_v in_o execution_n nay_o further_o the_o sad_a and_o sinful_a condition_n of_o mankind_n and_o the_o obligation_n of_o evangelical_n duty_n that_o lie_v upon_o we_o in_o deal_v with_o man_n guilty_a of_o trespass_n make_v it_o necessary_a god_n can_v be_v honour_v without_o the_o execution_n of_o wrath_n upon_o the_o violation_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n upon_o this_o account_n god_n will_v be_v honour_v in_o this_o world_n or_o he_o will_v confound_v it_o i_o say_v he_o can_v be_v honour_v in_o this_o world_n without_o this_o execution_n of_o wrath._n why_o so_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o evil_a constitution_n of_o affair_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o christianity_n on_o the_o other_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n enjoin_v we_o rule_n of_o justice_n the_o law_n of_o christ_n enjoin_v we_o in_o case_n of_o

we_o in_o our_o name_n good_n or_o person_n this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o this_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o our_o saviour_n when_o he_o suffer_v say_v st._n peter_n he_o commit_v his_o cause_n to_o he_o that_o judge_v righteous_o and_o st._n paul_n give_v a_o reason_n for_o it_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o god_n vengeance_n be_v i_o rom._n 12.19_o be_v it_o not_o for_o this_o reservation_n aristotle_n and_o tully_n have_v be_v both_o in_o the_o right_n who_o make_v it_o a_o act_n of_o justice_n to_o revenge_v a_o injury_n a_o act_n of_o justice_n it_o be_v but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o god_n have_v reserve_v to_o himself_o vengeance_n be_v i_o and_o it_o be_v insufferable_a in_o we_o to_o wrest_v his_o sword_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n when_o joseph_n brethren_n be_v afraid_a their_o father_n be_v dead_a he_o will_v be_v avenge_v on_o they_o for_o injury_n they_o have_v do_v he_o fear_v not_o say_v he_o for_o be_o i_o in_o the_o place_n of_o god_n gen._n 50._o q._n d._n vengeance_n belong_v unto_o he_o now_o the_o question_n therefore_o be_v how_o do_v god_n avenge_v our_o injury_n of_o which_o the_o world_n be_v and_o will_v be_v full_a injury_n be_v forbid_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o injury_n will_v be_v commit_v by_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n and_o injury_n must_v be_v suffer_v and_o forgive_v too_o by_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o injury_n must_v be_v revenge_v too_o by_o the_o justice_n and_o government_n of_o the_o world_n but_o must_v be_v revenge_v only_o by_o god_n vengeance_n be_v i_o but_o how_o do_v god_n revenge_n and_o repay_v our_o injury_n i_o answer_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n first_o immediate_o by_o himself_o and_o that_o sometime_o in_o this_o world_n always_o in_o the_o next_o second_o mediate_o by_o the_o power_n depute_v unto_o man_n and_o the_o magistrate_n be_v call_v god_n in_o that_o respect_n first_o by_o himself_o immediate_o so_o david_n comfort_v himself_o against_o saul_n 1_o sam._n 26._o david_n say_v to_o abishai_n destroy_v he_o not_o for_o who_o can_v stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n against_o the_o lord_n be_v anoint_v and_o be_v innocent_a david_n say_v further_o as_o the_o lord_n live_v the_o lord_n shall_v smite_v he_o or_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o die_v or_o he_o shall_v descend_v into_o battle_n and_o perish_v and_o then_o again_o add_v the_o lord_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v stretch_v out_o my_o hand_n against_o the_o lord_n be_v anoint_v of_o this_o extraordinary_a vengeance_n of_o god_n the_o heathen_n themselves_o have_v very_o strong_a apprehension_n and_o comfort_v themselves_o with_o expectation_n of_o it_o so_o the_o heathen_a mariner_n in_o jonah_n when_o the_o lot_n fall_v upon_o he_o and_o discover_v he_o the_o same_o judgement_n we_o find_v the_o barbarian_n pass_v upon_o st_n paul_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n when_o they_o see_v a_o viper_n fasten_v upon_o his_o hand_n they_o conclude_v no_o doubt_v this_o man_n be_v a_o murderer_n who_o though_o he_o escape_v the_o sea_n yet_o vengeance_n suffer_v he_o not_o to_o live_v so_o achilles_n in_o homer_n when_o he_o confess_v he_o ought_v not_o to_o avenge_v himself_o of_o his_o superior_a comfort_v himself_o with_o this_o apprehension_n that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n sometime_o or_o other_o will_v do_v he_o right_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d these_o be_v the_o apprehension_n the_o jew_n and_o heathen_n have_v of_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o his_o divine_a and_o immediate_a vengeance_n what_o we_o be_v to_o have_v we_o may_v learn_v from_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o the_o unrighteous_a judge_n that_o for_o importunity_n sake_n do_v the_o widow_n right_a conclude_v of_o god_n the_o righteous_a judge_n shall_v not_o he_o avenge_v his_o own_o elect_n that_o cry_v unto_o he_o day_n and_o night_n i_o tell_v you_o say_v he_o he_o will_v avenge_v they_o speedy_o though_o he_o bear_v long_o with_o they_o this_o be_v god_n first_o way_n of_o avenge_a but_o this_o be_v in_o extraordinary_a and_o rare_a case_n and_o often_o and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n put_v off_o till_o the_o great_a day_n of_o doom_n the_o terrible_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o second_o there_o be_v a_o more_o ordinary_a and_o daily_a way_n of_o avenge_a injury_n and_o that_o be_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o magistrate_n so_o we_o
