mere_a threaten_n of_o death_n after_o this_o life_n shall_v be_v enough_o to_o terrify_v christian_n from_o the_o abuse_n of_o any_o of_o his_o ordinance_n much_o more_o than_o shall_v they_o move_v we_o when_o as_o so_o many_o seal_n &_o sacrament_n thereof_o he_o shall_v annex_v thereunto_o sensible_a plague_n &_o punishment_n in_o this_o life_n we_o can_v but_o see_v that_o many_o plague_n &_o judgement_n be_v go_v forth_o from_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n into_o the_o world_n yea_o into_o the_o church_n yea_o into_o many_o of_o our_o house_n and_o upon_o our_o own_o person_n neither_o do_v we_o see_v the_o judgement_n only_o but_o we_o may_v see_v also_o if_o we_o do_v not_o wilful_o shut_v our_o eye_n for_o what_o particular_a sin_n god_n infflict_v many_o of_o they_o who_o be_v it_o that_o can_v see_v that_o so_o many_o &_o so_o many_o plague_n and_o vengeance_n have_v fall_v and_o do_v yet_o lie_v upon_o such_o and_o such_o man_n for_o their_o murder_n theft_n adultery_n

will_v serve_v to_o restrain_v we_o from_o those_o sin_n but_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o so_o many_o judgement_n these_o sin_n abound_v and_o as_o it_o be_v triumph_n over_o they_o 2_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o unworthy_a &_o profane_a receiver_n of_o this_o sacrament_n do_v not_o only_o eat_v and_o drink_v therein_o a_o spiritual_a judgement_n which_o hypocrite_n and_o carnal_a man_n do_v not_o so_o much_o care_n for_o but_o even_o bodily_a judgement_n also_o so_o that_o it_o may_v prove_v in_o the_o end_n &_o effect_v no_o bet_fw-mi rthen_n a_o very_a bane_n &_o poison_n unto_o our_o body_n &_o a_o mean_n of_o many_o grievousisease_n yea_o and_o of_o untimely_a death_n for_o so_o it_o prove_v we_o see_v to_o some_o of_o these_o corinthian_n and_o we_o can_v plead_v no_o special_a privilege_n the_o more_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v love_v our_o bodily_a life_n &_o health_n the_o more_o let_v we_o make_v conscience_n of_o the_o former_a duty_n these_o kind_n of_o judgement_n here_o mention_v be_v no_o stranger_n among_o we_o yea_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n in_o this_o kind_n have_v lie_v a_o long_a time_n heavy_a upon_o we_o and_o though_o we_o can_v precise_o say_v as_o the_o apostle_n here_o do_v that_o for_o this_o very_a cause_n some_o of_o we_o be_v afflict_v with_o this_o disease_n &_o some_o with_o that_o and_o so_o many_o with_o the_o pestilence_n etc._n etc._n yet_o have_v such_o a_o precedent_n set_v before_o we_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o such_o a_o sin_n punish_v with_o such_o judgement_n it_o be_v too_o apparent_a that_o not_o only_o the_o same_o sin_n do_v reign_v among_o we_o but_o that_o also_o the_o same_o judgement_n lie_v in_o great_a weight_n and_o measure_n upon_o we_o we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o fear_v that_o among_o other_o this_o very_a sin_n be_v one_o cause_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o in_o seek_v to_o remove_v these_o judgement_n let_v we_o have_v a_o special_a care_n among_o other_o sin_n to_o reform_v this_o 3_o so_o oft_o as_o any_o of_o we_o be_v guilty_a unto_o ourselves_o of_o unreverent_a and_o unworthy_a receive_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o the_o more_o free_a we_o have_v be_v withal_o from_o any_o of_o these_o judgement_n in_o the_o great_a danger_n we_o shall_v fear_v ourselves_o to_o be_v for_o we_o be_v indebt_v so_o many_o death_n and_o sickness_n to_o the_o lord_n which_o except_o we_o prevent_v betimes_o with_o true_a repentance_n we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o pay_v with_o the_o interest_n either_o in_o this_o life_n or_o in_o another_o for_o the_o lord_n as_o much_o hate_v this_o sin_n in_o we_o as_o in_o the_o corinthian_n and_o will_v be_v sure_a at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o to_o punish_v it_o severe_o and_o the_o more_o he_o defer_v to_o punish_v it_o the_o more_o severe_o he_o will_v do_v it_o when_o he_o take_v the_o rod_n once_o into_o his_o hand_n let_v we_o then_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n take_v heed_n how_o in_o this_o case_n we_o too_o much_o abuse_v the_o patience_n and_o long_o suffer_v of_o god_n patience_n wound_v become_v fury_n for_o the_o further_a enforce_v of_o this_o the_o apostle_n show_v first_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n in_o this_o curse_n of_o he_o second_o his_o mercy_n his_o justice_n in_o that_o he_o have_v not_o thus_o sharp_o judge_v they_o if_o they_o have_v judge_v themselves_o for_o say_v he_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v judge_v v._o 31._o as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v we_o may_v thank_v ourselves_o for_o these_o and_o such_o like_a judgement_n that_o lie_v upon_o we_o and_o can_v no_o way_n blame_v god_n for_o they_o for_o it_o be_v just_a with_o he_o the_o best_a of_o we_o be_v so_o sinful_a as_o we_o be_v that_o when_o we_o will_v not_o judge_v and_o condemn_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n judge_v and_o condemn_v by_o he_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v 1_o that_o the_o best_a mean_n to_o
