here_o for_o a_o time_n the_o latter_a end_n of_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v peace_n i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o doctrine_n reas_n 1_o first_o concern_v the_o observation_n of_o the_o wicked_a especial_o of_o the_o godly_a this_o may_v be_v one_o principal_a reason_n why_o we_o must_v mark_v they_o well_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o life_n and_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o death_n because_o god_n be_v not_o mutable_a and_o changeable_a but_o ever_o the_o same_o without_o any_o shadow_n of_o change_n as_o the_o lord_n heretofore_o and_o daily_o do_v bring_v shame_n and_o confusion_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o so_o make_v they_o example_n unto_o other_o so_o will_v the_o lord_n deal_v with_o we_o if_o we_o tread_v in_o their_o path_n the_o same_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o overtake_v other_o sinner_n shall_v in_o the_o end_n overtake_v thou_o if_o thou_o walk_v in_o th●er_a way_n see_v thou_o a_o man_n that_o have_v be_v a_o graceless_a wretch_n a_o horrible_a swearer_n a_o unclean_a person_n a_o profane_a person_n or_o the_o like_a have_v the_o lord_n follow_v such_o with_o his_o judgement_n as_o their_o life_n have_v be_v without_o grace_n so_o their_o death_n have_v be_v without_o comfort_n behold_v in_o they_o thy_o own_o condition_n remember_v that_o god_n be_v just_a the_o same_o judgement_n wait_v upon_o the_o same_o sinner_n so_o especial_o as_o my_o text_n say_v concern_v the_o godly_a mark_v well_o the_o righteous_a and_o behold_v the_o just_a behold_v their_o life_n and_o behold_v their_o death_n if_o their_o life_n have_v be_v religious_a though_o accompany_v with_o many_o outward_a affliction_n their_o death_n have_v never_o want_v comfort_n the_o end_n of_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v peace_n and_o let_v the_o same_o encourage_v thou_o in_o well_o do_v because_o god_n be_v not_o mutable_a 10._o act_n 10._o he_o change_v not_o in_o every_o nation_n he_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o work_v
