they_o do_v to_o that_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v these_o reason_n why_o notwithstanding_o god_n special_a care_n of_o his_o people_n in_o common_a calamity_n somâ—_n of_o they_o do_v fall_v therein_o it_o be_v for_o one_o or_o more_o of_o these_o reason_n usual_o 1._o it_o be_v sometime_o through_o unbelief_n god_n keep_v they_o while_o they_o trust_v he_o but_o when_o their_o trust_n fail_v than_o the_o promise_n fail_v and_o god_n be_v not_o a_o security_n to_o they_o it_o be_v sometime_o through_o unbelief_n so_o we_o find_v it_o in_o the_o case_n of_o israel_n go_v to_o canaan_n there_o be_v abundance_n fall_v in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o true_o among_o those_o that_o fall_v we_o may_v think_v there_o be_v some_o upright_a one_o that_o have_v grace_n in_o their_o heart_n but_o yet_o they_o disinherit_v god_n they_o think_v the_o journey_n be_v long_o and_o tedious_a and_o the_o way_n be_v difficult_a therefore_o they_o fall_v in_o the_o wilderness_n it_o be_v because_o of_o their_o unbelief_n by_o who_o be_v he_o grieve_v forty_o year_n in_o the_o wilderness_n be_v it_o not_o by_o they_o who_o carcase_n fall_v in_o the_o wilderness_n to_o who_o he_o

god_n make_v special_a promise_n of_o preservation_n but_o when_o the_o faith_n of_o his_o people_n fail_v sometime_o god_n suffer_v they_o to_o lose_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o promise_n 2._o when_o his_o people_n sin_n as_o the_o world_n do_v than_o he_o cause_v they_o to_o taste_v of_o judgement_n with_o the_o world_n when_o they_o keep_v not_o clear_a from_o the_o sin_n for_o which_o god_n

of_o her_o plague_n in_o which_o word_n you_o have_v a_o promise_n and_o a_o threaten_n promise_v if_o you_o do_v not_o partake_v of_o her_o sin_n than_o you_o shall_v not_o suffer_v with_o she_o but_o if_o you_o do_v you_o may_v expect_v to_o share_v with_o she_o in_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o you_o find_v moses_n a_o choice_a servant_n and_o he_o suffer_v in_o the_o wilderness_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n and_o it_o be_v because_o he_o sin_v as_o they_o do_v that_o die_v in_o the_o wilderness_n numb_a 27.12_o why_o may_v he_o not_o go_v into_o canaan_n why_o say_v he_o for_o you_o rebel_v against_o my_o commandment_n in_o the_o desert_n of_o zin_n etc._n etc._n you_o rebel_v when_o the_o congregation_n rebel_v and_o therefore_o for_o that_o reason_n although_o it_o be_v the_o one_o time_n that_o moses_n do_v miscarry_v in_o his_o way_n towards_o canaan_n and_o yet_o for_o join_v with_o the_o people_n in_o that_o one_o sin_n of_o murmur_a he_o be_v cut_v short_a of_o canaan_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o case_n of_o common_a calamity_n if_o we_o sin_n with_o the_o world_n we_o may_v be_v lead_v to_o suffer_v
