that_o god_n be_v a_o patient_a god_n not_o will_v the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o shall_v convert_v and_o live_v so_o much_o do_v paul_n teach_v we_o of_o he_o in_o rom._n 2.4_o say_v despise_v thou_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o bountifulness_n and_o patience_n and_o long_o suffer_v not_o know_v that_o the_o bountifulness_n of_o god_n lead_v thou_o to_o repentance_n so_o much_o do_v peter_n teach_v we_o of_o he_o in_o 2._o pet._n 3.9_o say_v the_o lord_n be_v not_o slack_a concern_v his_o promise_n as_o some_o man_n count_v slackness_n but_o be_v patient_a towards_o we_o and_o will_v have_v no_o man_n to_o perish_v but_o will_v all_o man_n to_o come_v to_o repentance_n so_o much_o do_v joel_n teach_v we_o of_o he_o in_o joel._n 2.13_o say_v and_o rend_v your_o heart_n and_o not_o your_o garment_n and_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n for_o he_o be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a slow_a to_o anger_n and_o of_o great_a kindness_n and_o repent_v he_o of_o the_o evil_n so_o much_o final_o do_v god_n himself_o teach_v we_o of_o himself_o in_o ezech._n 33.11_o say_v as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o that_o the_o wicked_a turn_n from_o his_o way_n and_o live_v but_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o reason_n be_v not_o god_n a_o just_a god_n and_o be_v not_o his_o eye_n pure_a eye_n not_o abide_v to_o behold_v sin_n and_o iniquity_n yes_o why_o then_o do_v he_o not_o strike_v because_o his_o mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n and_o his_o compassion_n fail_v not_o according_a to_o david_n word_n in_o psalm_n 145.9_o and_o the_o prophet_n jeremies_n in_o lament_n 3.2_o for_o as_o the_o one_o of_o they_o do_v extol_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n above_o all_o thing_n so_o the_o other_o of_o they_o do_v declare_v that_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o do_v not_o consume_v we_o according_o as_o our_o sin_n do_v deserve_v wherefore_o learn_v out_o of_o this_o use_v first_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n for_o they_o be_v very_o much_o unlike_o for_o my_o thought_n say_v god_n be_v not_o your_o thought_n neither_o be_v your_o way_n my_o way_n say_v the_o lord_n for_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v high_a than_o the_o earth_n so_o be_v my_o way_n high_a than_o your_o way_n and_o my_o thought_n above_o your_o thought_n esay_n 55.8.9_o if_o treason_n and_o insurrection_n be_v once_o make_v against_o the_o chief_a governor_n of_o any_o land_n the_o party_n offend_v therein_o be_v apprehend_v and_o according_a to_o law_n they_o be_v execute_v as_o traitor_n and_o rebel_n and_o all_o this_o be_v but_o well_o and_o according_a to_o justice_n and_o equity_n without_o which_o no_o commonwealth_n can_v stand_v or_o flourish_v but_o yet_o with_o god_n it_o be_v not_o so_o though_o that_o we_o do_v daily_o make_v insurrection_n against_o he_o and_o commit_v high_a treason_n against_o his_o person_n by_o blaspheme_v his_o holy_a name_n and_o by_o trample_v his_o divine_a statute_n and_o ordinance_n under_o our_o foot_n yet_o he_o do_v spare_v we_o and_o not_o consume_v we_o according_a to_o our_o wicked_a desert_n and_o as_o one_o most_o desirous_a to_o have_v we_o save_v &_o to_o become_v bless_v he_o do_v cry_v unto_o we_o for_o a_o turn_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n oh_o who_o can_v extol_v this_o goodness_n of_o the_o lord_n sufficient_o shall_v we_o rebel_v against_o he_o &_o provoke_v he_o to_o his_o face_n and_o yet_o will_v he_o come_v and_o entreat_v we_o to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o doubtless_o if_o one_o do_v but_o offend_v we_o some_o two_o or_o three_o time_n in_o some_o matter_n that_o do_v concern_v our_o credit_n and_o profit_n so_o that_o we_o grow_v infamous_a or_o poor_a thereby_o we_o can_v never_o sound_o and_o thorough_o endure_v that_o party_n again_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o though_o he_o shall_v come_v unto_o we_o himself_o to_o ask_v we_o forgiveness_n yet_o we_o shall_v hardly_o ever_o receive_v he_o to_o love_n and_o favour_n again_o within_o our_o heart_n so_o close_o will_v his_o wrong_n &_o injury_n cleave_v unto_o us._n we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o samaritan_n refuse_v to_o receive_v christ_n into_o one_o of_o their_o city_n for_o a_o night_n lodging_n james_n and_o john_n two_o of_o his_o disciple_n be_v by_o and_o by_o inflame_v with_o great_a choler_n &_o wrath_n and_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v their_o master_n be_v revenge_v upon_o they_o for_o it_o say_v unto_o he_o after_o this_o sort_n lord_n will_v thou_o that_o we_o command_v that_o fire_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n &_o consume_v they_o even_o as_o eliah_n do_v luke_n 9.54_o but_o as_o for_o our_o god_n we_o see_v here_o how_o patient_a he_o be_v in_o put_v up_o great_a rebellion_n and_o treason_n and_o in_o call_v upon_o the_o rebel_n and_o traitor_n themselves_o for_o amendment_n of_o life_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v save_v learn_v we_o therefore_o in_o the_o next_o place_n that_o though_o we_o do_v sin_n and_o offend_v yet_o there_o be_v mercy_n in_o the_o lord_n to_o forgive_v us._n for_o where_o sin_n do_v abound_v there_o grace_n do_v more_o than_o abound_v say_v the_o apostle_n in_o rom._n 5.20_o david_n do_v speak_v most_o excellent_o of_o this_o matter_n in_o psalm_n 103._o etc._n etc._n say_v the_o lord_n be_v full_a of_o compassion_n and_o mercy_n slow_a to_o anger_n and_o of_o great_a kindness_n he_o have_v not_o deal_v with_o we_o after_o our_o sin_n nor_o reward_v we_o according_a to_o our_o iniquity_n for_o as_o high_a as_o the_o heaven_n be_v above_o the_o earth_n so_o great_a be_v his_o mercy_n towards_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o as_o far_o as_o the_o east_n be_v from_o the_o west_n so_o far_o have_v he_o remove_v our_o sin_n from_o we_o as_o a_o father_n have_v compassion_n on_o his_o child_n so_o have_v the_o lord_n compassion_n on_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o lest_o that_o any_o shall_v doubt_v of_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n mark_v what_o god_n himself_o do_v say_v in_o isay_n 1.18_o come_v now_o say_v he_o and_o let_v we_o reason_n together_o say_v the_o lord_n though_o your_o sin_n be_v as_o crimson_a they_o shall_v be_v make_v as_o white_a as_o snow_n though_o they_o be_v red_a like_o scarlet_n they_o shall_v be_v as_o wool_n and_o sure_o if_o god_n do_v here_o call_v upon_o these_o traitor_n and_o rebel_n to_o forsake_v their_o sin_n with_o a_o intent_n and_o purpose_n to_o save_v they_o if_o they_o will_v so_o do_v then_o may_v you_o not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o will_v receive_v every_o repent_a sinner_n that_o do_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o forgive_v he_o all_o his_o transgression_n be_v they_o never_o so_o many_o when_o he_o do_v ask_v pardon_n for_o they_o and_o hearty_o forsake_v they_o wherefore_o though_o you_o have_v sin_v great_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o have_v trespass_v even_o against_o heaven_n and_o his_o majesty_n with_o the_o prodigal_a son_n yet_o despair_v not_o but_o with_o the_o prodigal_a son_n return_v unto_o he_o and_o know_v that_o you_o shall_v find_v mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n as_o he_o do_v and_o as_o david_n do_v and_o as_o solomon_n do_v and_o as_o peter_n do_v and_o as_o paul_n do_v and_o as_o many_o more_o beside_o they_o do_v who_o sin_n be_v great_a and_o heinous_a for_o god_n have_v say_v it_o who_o can_v lie_v yea_o he_o have_v swear_v it_o and_o bind_v it_o with_o a_o oath_n that_o he_o do_v not_o desire_v the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o that_o he_o shall_v turn_v and_o live_v as_o you_o hear_v before_o out_o of_o ezech._n 33.11_o last_o from_o hence_o observe_v this_o use_n use_v that_o if_o any_o do_v perish_v through_o his_o sin_n and_o transgression_n he_o must_v not_o impute_v the_o fault_n thereof_o unto_o god_n but_o unto_o himself_o for_o god_n here_o do_v call_v man_n from_o their_o evil_a way_n that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o perish_v but_o be_v save_v in_o all_o our_o plague_n and_o judgement_n and_o in_o all_o our_o woe_n and_o calamity_n whether_o in_o this_o world_n or_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v the_o lord_n may_v always_o say_v unto_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o hosea_n 13.8_o o_o israel_n one_o have_v destroy_v thou_o but_o in_o i_o be_v thy_o help_n for_o the_o lord_n do_v take_v as_o it_o be_v great_a pain_n to_o make_v we_o good_a what_o can_v i_o have_v do_v more_o say_v the_o lord_n to_o my_o vineyard_n that_o i_o have_v not_o do_v unto_o it_o isay_n 5.4_o wherefore_o accuse_v god_n i_o beseech_v you_o at_o no_o time_n if_o any_o destruction_n do_v happen_v unto_o you_o but_o lay_v the_o whole_a blame_n thereof_o upon_o

hunger_n and_o other_o calamity_n which_o fall_v upon_o they_o they_o break_v out_o into_o murmur_a and_o blasphemous_a speech_n against_o god_n and_o into_o open_a rebellion_n and_o insurrection_n against_o moses_n and_o aaron_n their_o governor_n insomuch_o as_o they_o have_v stone_v they_o to_o death_n have_v not_o god_n by_o a_o outstretch_v arm_n preserve_v they_o numb_a 14.10_o the_o three_o be_v their_o wilfulness_n or_o obstinacy_n for_o they_o be_v with_o narcissus_n in_o love_n with_o themselves_o and_o dote_v upon_o their_o own_o way_n will_v not_o hearken_v unto_o the_o charmer_n charm_v he_o never_o so_o sweet_o as_o appear_v by_o christ_n speech_n in_o math._n 11.17.18.19_o but_o as_o jeremy_n do_v well_o observe_v of_o they_o in_o chap._n 5.3_o they_o make_v their_o face_n hard_a than_o a_o stone_n and_o do_v refuse_v to_o return_v in_o regard_v whereof_o the_o lord_n send_v forth_o his_o servant_n ezechiel_n to_o preach_v unto_o his_o people_n he_o tell_v he_o that_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v he_o and_o that_o because_o they_o be_v impudent_a child_n and_o stiffe-hearted_n ezech._n 2.4_o the_o four_o and_o last_o be_v their_o unbelief_n or_o unfaithfulnesse_n for_o as_o christ_n do_v well_o observe_v of_o his_o own_o disciple_n that_o they_o be_v dull_a of_o heart_n and_o slow_a to_o believe_v luke_n 24.25_o so_o they_o distrust_v god_n and_o not_o rely_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o steadfast_a faith_n do_v depart_v away_o from_o he_o and_o commit_v grievous_a abomination_n against_o he_o according_a to_o that_o in_o jer._n 5.23_o but_o this_o people_n have_v a_o unfaithful_a and_o rebellious_a heart_n they_o be_v depart_v and_o go_v so_o then_o these_o four_o vice_n reign_v among_o they_o do_v like_o a_o violent_a stream_n carry_v they_o to_o all_o kind_n of_o rebellion_n the_o cause_n of_o their_o rebellion_n be_v thus_o touch_v use_v now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o doctrine_n they_o be_v in_o number_n four_o for_o first_o here_o we_o may_v learn_v in_o that_o all_o do_v thus_o rebel_v that_o the_o great_a number_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o the_o best_a but_o the_o worst_a the_o flock_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o little_a flock_n according_a to_o his_o own_o word_n in_o luke_n 12.32_o when_o he_o say_v fear_v not_o little_a flock_n for_o it_o be_v your_o father_n pleasure_n to_o give_v you_o a_o kingdom_n but_o the_o flock_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o great_a flock_n according_a to_o that_o in_o revel_v 20.8_o where_o his_o army_n that_o he_o gather_v together_o against_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n out_o of_o the_o four_o quarter_n of_o the_o earth_n even_o gog_n and_o magog_n be_v compare_v to_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n for_o number_n oh_o weigh_v this_o well_o and_o with_o a_o religious_a heart_n and_o let_v neither_o popery_n tell_v you_o of_o multitude_n which_o they_o make_v to_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o god_n church_n nor_o the_o carnal_a gospeller_n of_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o world_n which_o they_o make_v to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o their_o life_n but_o ever_o look_v for_o truth_n and_o goodness_n in_o the_o small_a number_n for_o many_o according_a to_o christ_n word_n do_v go_v in_o at_o the_o wide_a gate_n and_o broad_a way_n that_o lead_v to_o destruction_n and_o but_o few_o at_o the_o straight_a gate_n and_o narrow_a way_n that_o lead_v unto_o life_n math._n 7.13.14_o second_o here_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o we_o must_v not_o care_v for_o the_o love_n &_o like_n of_o the_o world_n nor_o hang_v upon_o the_o multitude_n for_o their_o applause_n &_o favour_n for_o they_o be_v against_o the_o lord_n &_o not_o for_o he_o sure_o as_o they_o be_v most_o unconstant_a in_o their_o way_n turn_v upon_o every_o small_a occasion_n like_o the_o weathercock_n at_o the_o blast_n of_o the_o wind_n this_o day_n one_o be_v a_o man_n with_o they_o to_o morrow_n a_o beast_n this_o day_n none_o better_o with_o they_o to_o morrow_n none_o worse_o this_o day_n a_o god_n with_o they_o to_o morrow_n a_o devil_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o their_o deal_n towards_o christ_n &_o paul_n so_o their_o love_n and_o favour_n must_v needs_o be_v bend_v towards_o the_o worst_a see_v they_o themselves_o be_v bad_a and_o do_v oppose_v themselves_o against_o the_o almighty_a remember_v always_o what_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n about_o this_o matter_n if_o you_o be_v of_o the_o world_n say_v he_o in_o joh._n 15.19_o the_o world_n will_v love_v his_o own_o but_o because_o you_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n but_o i_o have_v choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o wherefore_o as_o they_o that_o run_v at_o tilt_n look_v to_o the_o judge_n what_o they_o say_v and_o not_o what_o the_o vulgar_a people_n say_v so_o i_o beseech_v you_o look_v you_o ever_o what_o your_o judge_n in_o heaven_n do_v allow_v or_o approve_v and_o care_v not_o what_o the_o world_n and_o the_o people_n thereof_o do_v think_v or_o say_v three_o here_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o multitude_n and_o the_o common_a people_n will_v be_v enemy_n unto_o you_o and_o labour_n to_o resist_v you_o whensoever_o you_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n aright_o if_o you_o shall_v once_o begin_v to_o seek_v christ_n and_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o they_o shall_v stand_v in_o your_o way_n to_o hinder_v you_o as_o they_o do_v stand_v in_o zacheus_n way_n when_o he_o go_v forth_o to_o see_v christ_n luke_n 19.3_o if_o you_o be_v once_o in_o his_o presence_n &_o do_v begin_v to_o call_v upon_o he_o for_o mercy_n &_o help_v they_o will_v rebuke_v you_o as_o they_o do_v the_o poor_a blind_a man_n who_o cry_v unto_o he_o say_v jesus_n the_o son_n of_o david_n have_v mercy_n on_o i_o luke_n 18.39_o if_o you_o be_v sick_a or_o dead_a in_o your_o sin_n &_o trespass_n and_o christ_n do_v begin_v to_o come_v home_o to_o the_o house_n of_o your_o soul_n to_o heal_v you_o and_o to_o raise_v you_o up_o from_o the_o death_n of_o your_o sin_n they_o will_v stop_v his_o passage_n and_o entrance_n in_o if_o they_o can_v as_o they_o do_v when_o christ_n come_v to_o the_o ruler_n house_n to_o heal_v his_o daughter_n that_o be_v sick_a yea_o dead_a when_o he_o come_v math._n 9.23_o but_o as_o christ_n turn_v they_o there_o out_o of_o door_n say_v get_v you_o hence_o so_o must_v you_o shake_v they_o all_o off_o and_o not_o communicate_v with_o flesh_n &_o blood_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o your_o god_n but_o do_v as_o abraham_n do_v when_o he_o sacrifice_v to_o god_n the_o

may_v learn_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o people_n and_o in_o any_o case_n not_o to_o do_v as_o they_o do_v for_o see_v that_o they_o do_v rebel_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o john_n do_v say_v 1._o joh._n 5.19_o do_v lie_v in_o wickedness_n we_o must_v not_o follow_v they_o nor_o go_v after_o their_o way_n to_o provoke_v the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n against_o we_o

do_v counsel_v we_o for_o to_o do_v if_o sinner_n do_v entice_v we_o to_o go_v with_o they_o let_v we_o not_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n with_o they_o but_o refrain_v our_o foot_n from_o their_o path_n
