quiet_o out_o of_o this_o world_n the_o strong_a do_v not_o disturb_v by_o intercept_n with_o sound_a repentance_n betwixt_o his_o sinful_a life_n and_o his_o quiet_a death_n therefore_o mr._n badman_n be_v go_v to_o hell_n the_o strong_a man_n arm_v be_v the_o devil_n and_o quietness_n be_v his_o security_n the_o devil_n never_o fear_v lose_v of_o the_o sinner_n if_o he_o can_v but_o

will_v let_v they_o alone_o they_o shall_v live_v and_o die_v in_o their_o sin_n but_o three_o proof_n my_o three_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o that_o say_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v blind_v their_o eye_n 40._o and_o harden_v their_o heart_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o see_v with_o their_o eye_n nor_o understand_v with_o their_o heart_n and_o be_v convert_v and_o i_o shall_v heal_v they_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o from_o these_o word_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o conversion_n to_o god_n where_o the_o eye_n be_v darken_v and_o the_o heart_n harden_v the_o eye_n must_v first_o be_v make_v to_o see_v and_o the_o heart_n to_o break_v and_o relent_v under_o and_o for_o sin_n or_o else_o there_o can_v be_v no_o conversion_n he_o have_v blind_v their_o eye_n and_o harden_v their_o heart_n lest_o they_o shall_v see_v and_o understand_v and_o so_o be_v convert_v and_o this_o be_v clear_o mr._n badmans_n case_n he_o live_v a_o wicked_a life_n and_o also_o die_v with_o his_o eye_n shut_v and_o heart_n harden_v as_o be_v manifest_a in_o that_o a_o sinful_a life_n be_v join_v with_o a_o quiet_a death_n and_o all_o for_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v convert_v but_o partake_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o sinful_a life_n in_o hell_n fire_n 2._o the_o second_o thing_n that_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o from_o these_o word_n be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o dispensation_n and_o manifestation_n of_o god_n anger_n against_o a_o man_n for_o his_o sin_n when_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o man_n i_o mean_v when_o he_o be_v so_o angry_a with_o they_o this_o among_o many_o be_v one_o of_o the_o judgement_n that_o he_o give_v they_o up_o unto_o to_o wit_n to_o blindness_n of_o mind_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n which_o he_o also_o suffer_v to_o accompany_v they_o till_o they_o enter_v in_o at_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n and_o then_o and_o there_o and_o not_o short_a of_o then_o and_o there_o their_o eye_n come_v to_o be_v open_v hence_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o rich_a man_n mention_v in_o luke_n he_o die_v and_o in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n 22._o imply_v that_o he_o do_v not_o lift_v they_o up_o before_o he_o neither_o see_v what_o he_o have_v do_v nor_o whither_o he_o be_v go_v till_o he_o come_v to_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n even_o into_o hell_n he_o die_v asleep_a in_o his_o soul_n he_o die_v besot_v stupefy_v and_o so_o consequent_o for_o quietness_n like_o a_o child_n or_o lamb_n even_o as_o mr._n badman_n do_v this_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o god_n anger_n he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o damn_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o let_v he_o see_v nor_o have_v a_o heart_n to_o repent_v for_o they_o lest_o he_o shall_v convert_v and_o his_o damnation_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v shall_v be_v frustrate_a lest_o they_o shall_v be_v convert_v and_o i_o shall_v heal_v they_o 3._o the_o three_o thing_n that_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o from_o hence_o be_v that_o a_o sinful_a life_n and_o a_o quiet_a death_n annex_v to_o it_o be_v the_o ready_a the_o open_a the_o beat_a the_o common_a highway_n to_o hell_n there_o be_v no_o sure_a sign_n of_o damnation_n than_o for_o a_o man_n to_o die_v quiet_o after_o a_o sinful_a life_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o all_o wicked_a man_n that_o be_v molest_v at_o their_o death_n with_o a_o sense_n of_o sin_n and_o fear_n of_o hell_n do_v therefore_o go_v to_o heaven_n for_o some_o be_v also_o make_v to_o see_v and_o be_v leave_v to_o despair_v not_o convert_v by_o see_v that_o they_o may_v go_v roar_v out_o of_o this_o world_n to_o their_o place_n but_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o sure_a sign_n of_o a_o man_n damnation_n than_o to_o die_v quiet_o after_o a_o sinful_a life_n than_o to_o sin_n and_o die_v with_o his_o eye_n shut_v than_o to_o sin_n and_o die_v with_o a_o heart_n that_o can_v repent_v 5._o he_o have_v blind_v their_o eye_n and_o harden_v their_o heart_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o see_v with_o their_o eye_n nor_o understand_v with_o their_o heart_n 27._o no_o not_o so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o this_o world_n lest_o they_o shall_v see_v with_o their_o eye_n and_o understand_v with_o their_o heart_n and_o shall_v be_v convert_v and_o i_o shall_v heal_v they_o god_n have_v a_o judgement_n for_o wicked_a man_n god_n will_v be_v even_o with_o wicked_a man_n 2._o god_n know_v how_o to_o reserve_v the_o ungodly_a to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n to_o be_v punish_v and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o his_o way_n by_o which_o he_o do_v it_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o mr._n badman_n 4._o four_o proof_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n concern_v the_o wicked_a there_o be_v no_o b●nds_n in_o their_o death_n 6._o but_o their_o strength_n be_v firm_a by_o no_o band_n he_o mean_v no_o trouble_n no_o gracious_a chastisement_n no_o such_o correction_n for_o sin_n as_o fall_v to_o be_v the_o lot_n of_o god_n people_n for_o they_o yea_o that_o many_o time_n fall_v to_o be_v they_o at_o the_o time_n of_o their_o death_n therefore_o he_o add_v concern_v the_o wicked_a they_o be_v not_o trouble_v then_o like_o other_o man_n neither_o be_v they_o plague_v like_o other_o man_n but_o go_v as_o secure_o out_o of_o the_o world_n as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o sin_v against_o god_n and_o put_v their_o own_o soul_n into_o danger_n of_o damnation_n there_o be_v no_o band_n in_o their_o death_n they_o seem_v to_o go_v unbound_v and_o set_v at_o liberty_n out_o of_o this_o world_n though_o they_o have_v live_v notorious_o wicked_a all_o their_o day_n in_o
