expel_v the_o canaanite_n till_o their_o iniquity_n be_v grow_v to_o the_o full_a and_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n have_v not_o be_v destroy_v have_v there_o be_v but_o five_o righteous_a person_n

excuse_v our_o lust_n and_o fling_v all_o on_o god_n we_o will_v fain_o make_v his_o way_n unequal_a as_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n do_v about_o the_o sour_a grape_n when_o they_o asperse_v god_n that_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n set_v the_o child_n tooth_n on_o edge_n but_o what_o be_v not_o these_o calumny_n false_a and_o have_v we_o not_o reason_n on_o the_o contrary_a to_o be_v even_o ravish_v with_o the_o unspeakable_a love_n of_o god_n but_o to_o illustrate_v this_o the_o better_a shall_v not_o god_n bestow_v one_o or_o five_o talent_n on_o who_o he_o please_v shall_v the_o stone_n complain_v that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o plant_n and_o the_o horse_n that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o man_n or_o the_o man_n that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o angel_n or_o what_o ought_v we_o not_o rather_o all_o to_o join_v together_o to_o be_v thankful_a for_o the_o bounty_n of_o our_o maker_n at_o this_o rate_n like_o lucifer_n else_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v at_o last_o to_o be_v our_o own_o carver_n even_o of_o the_o godhead_n also_o i_o say_v then_o if_o god_n give_v he_o that_o have_v one_o talon_n a_o fair_a trial_n as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o have_v two_o or_o he_o that_o have_v two_o a_o fair_a trial_n as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o have_v five_o have_v they_o reason_n to_o complain_v no_o sure_o nor_o be_v this_o our_o case_n neither_o for_o god_n be_v more_o good_a than_o so_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o increase_v our_o talent_n likewise_o if_o we_o use_v they_o well_o and_o if_o so_o where_o be_v the_o least_o room_n for_o those_o calumny_n have_v we_o not_o rather_o reason_v to_o admire_v the_o infinite_a and_o unfathomable_a mercy_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n nor_o be_v the_o objection_n from_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o labourer_n of_o any_o obstruction_n or_o

shall_v have_v his_o penny_n equal_o with_o he_o that_o bear_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o day_n must_v that_o destroy_v the_o degree_n of_o glory_n which_o his_o apostle_n also_o have_v reveal_v unto_o

or_o short_a or_o work_v more_o or_o less_o yet_o shall_v no_o such_o accidental_a advantage_n benefit_n or_o injure_v he_o but_o only_o his_o true_a and_o real_a advance_v through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n but_o you_o say_v god_n protect_v moses_n and_o christ_n from_o their_o infancy_n and_o why_o not_o where_o he_o have_v sow_o a_o extraordinary_a seed_n of_o many_o talent_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o world_n and_o his_o own_o glory_n may_v not_o he_o just_o in_o such_o a_o case_n also_o give_v notice_n of_o the_o birth_n of_o such_o a_o seed_n nay_o and_o give_v it_o a_o extraordinary_a preservation_n and_o that_o without_o the_o least_o prejudice_n to_o his_o justice_n in_o their_o trial_n thus_o can_v st._n paul_n peculiar_a call_v keep_v he_o from_o work_v out_o

thus_o can_v lucifer_n height_n secure_v he_o or_o moses_n revelation_n bring_v he_o into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n or_o to_o put_v the_o argument_n to_o a_o high_a topick_n will_v you_o question_v that_o justice_n that_o even_o the_o devil_n do_v not_o who_o upon_o his_o certainty_n of_o its_o sincerity_n venture_v to_o tempt_v even_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n jesus_n no_o no_o the_o way_n of_o god_n be_v too_o immutable_a to_o be_v draw_v aside_o at_o any_o time_n into_o petty_a shift_n and_o byway_n nor_o on_o the_o same_o account_n may_v we_o safe_o venture_v to_o judge_v any_o man_n what_o do_v we_o not_o see_v that_o great_a sinner_n every_o day_n repent_v and_o do_v not_o the_o spirit_n often_o choose_v unlikely_a mean_n to_o worldly_a appearance_n lest_o therefore_o like_o those_o who_o will_v not_o let_v even_o that_o great_a prophet_n christ_n jesus_n have_v honour_n in_o his_o own_o country_n let_v we_o forbear_v to_o censure_n and_o judge_v the_o mercy_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n which_o be_v unfathomable_a let_v we_o not_o look_v therefore_o on_o what_o man_n be_v or_o have_v be_v but_o what_o they_o may_v be_v upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n therefore_o if_o god_n usual_o let_v the_o father_n ignorances_n descend_n on_o the_o son_n according_a to_o his_o four_o commandment_n and_o as_o we_o feel_v to_o our_o sorrow_n through_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n and_o his_o piety_n come_v as_o a_o blessing_n to_o increase_v the_o talent_n of_o his_o generation_n as_o he_o do_v in_o abraham_n yet_o if_o he_o allow_v they_o equal_o fair_a trial_n be_v he_o not_o just_o and_o if_o he_o give_v he_o that_o have_v one_o talon_n five_o for_o the_o improvement_n or_o take_v his_o away_o quite_o that_o abuse_v they_o be_v not_o this_o just_a also_o o_o the_o wonder_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n who_o can_v sufficient_o admire_v the_o mercy_n or_o dread_v the_o terrible_a justice_n of_o our_o god_n and_o yet_o though_o the_o scripture_n herein_o of_o our_o gradual_a access_n herein_o in_o pursuance_n of_o this_o doctrine_n acquaint_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o all_o dye_n 1_o cor._n 15._o as_o if_o the_o wickedness_n of_o one_o part_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v draw_v down_o immediate_a judgement_n and_o of_o the_o other_o side_n its_o purity_n shall_v attract_v translation_n at_o the_o consummation_n of_o all_o thing_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o this_o conquest_n must_v be_v by_o a_o gradual_a access_n christ_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v like_o a_o seed_n sow_o that_o spring_v up_o we_o know_v not_o how_o we_o must_v not_o expect_v therefore_o to_o jump_v out_o of_o one_o state_n into_o another_o whether_o into_o miracle_n or_o translation_n but_o to_o proceed_v by_o degree_n and_o as_o our_o time_n of_o trial_n will_v lead_v we_o for_o as_o nemo_n repent_v fit_a turpissimus_fw-la so_o nemo_n repent_v fit_a optimus_fw-la be_v as_o true_a and_o as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o hundred_o journey_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n so_o we_o must_v have_v a_o hundred_o rise_v and_o stond_n in_o prayer_n and_o purity_n ere_o we_o can_v receive_v our_o crown_n we_o may_v see_v at_o first_o that_o adam_n be_v intend_v for_o a_o trial_n of_o time_n as_o he_o be_v to_o be_v fruitful_a and_o multiply_v ere_o he_o be_v to_o be_v translate_v and_o if_o he_o as_o make_v a_o prophet_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o delay_n what_o must_v we_o expect_v then_o that_o be_v a_o complete_a stage_n below_o he_o and_o that_o require_v as_o long_o a_o time_n ere_o we_o can_v be_v prophet_n also_o sure_o i_o say_v we_o may_v well_o have_v patience_n will_v we_o travel_v our_o two_o long_a journey_n in_o a_o minute_n or_o perfect_v such_o a_o stage_n in_o a_o hour_n and_o thus_o suppose_v our_o state_n to_o prophecy_n require_v ten_o year_n the_o perfect_a application_n to_o god_n and_o in_o the_o absolute_a resignation_n after_o we_o be_v adult_n and_o as_o indeed_o seem_v rational_a enough_o in_o the_o age_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o i_o say_v suppose_v the_o like_a time_n be_v allot_v for_o our_o stage_n of_o translation_n also_o can_v we_o be_v so_o unreasonable_a as_o to_o be_v angry_a at_o this_o bind_v of_o trial_n set_v we_o by_o god_n himself_o or_o shall_v we_o not_o rather_o patient_o wait_v the_o leisure_n and_o law_n of_o our_o purisication_n in_o it_o have_v we_o not_o as_o rational_o expect_v a_o infant_n to_o be_v a_o man_n and_o a_o acron_n to_o be_v a_o oak_n in_o a_o day_n and_o so_o over-rule_v all_o the_o law_n of_o heaven_n sure_o we_o have_v and_o if_o so_o why_o may_v not_o we_o have_v the_o natural_a patience_n of_o all_o thing_n nay_o and_o since_o we_o see_v that_o even_o the_o very_a world_n its_o self_n be_v force_v to_o grow_v old_a and_o purify_v itself_o thus_o by_o degree_n but_o what_o after_o all_o do_v thou_o think_v that_o thy_o trial_n
