slackness_n of_o the_o law_n which_o do_v over_o rule_v we_o or_o by_o the_o corruption_n of_o they_o that_o have_v the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n in_o their_o hand_n i_o will_v not_o now_o say_v but_o this_o i_o may_v to_o true_o say_v that_o there_o be_v great_a lack_n of_o severe_a discipline_n as_o for_o excommunication_n it_o be_v more_o use_v for_o money_n matter_n then_o for_o correction_n of_o sin_n these_o and_o sundry_a such_o other_o abuse_n and_o enormity_n be_v the_o thing_n which_o grieve_v good_a man_n and_o cause_v they_o both_o to_o pray_v and_o to_o preach_v for_o the_o reformation_n of_o they_o it_o be_v not_o a_o cap_n tippet_n or_o surples_n only_o which_o be_v but_o small_a matter_n and_o the_o small_a of_o many_o matter_n which_o be_v to_o be_v reform_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o yet_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o small_a account_n shall_v be_v make_v of_o these_o thing_n for_o hereof_o i_o be_o well_o assure_v that_o how_o small_a soever_o they_o seem_v they_o do_v no_o small_a hurt_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o to_o clog_n man_n conscience_n to_o hinder_v the_o course_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o breed_v

we_o must_v earnest_o &_o zealous_o go_v about_o god_n cause_n and_o god_n shall_v bless_v our_o travail_n &_o give_v good_a success_n unto_o the_o same_o thus_o you_o have_v hear_v how_o the_o church_n be_v dissolve_v and_o disorder_v let_v we_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o establish_v the_o pillar_n of_o it_o our_o gracious_a sovereign_n the_o queen_n majesty_n be_v the_o principal_a pillar_n of_o this_o church_n of_o england_n under_o christ_n it_o stand_v we_o great_o upon_o earnest_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n long_o to_o establish_v this_o pillar_n amongst_o us._n 3.10_o for_o if_o the_o strong_a samson_n the_o mighty_a god_n shall_v for_o our_o sin_n lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o this_o pillar_n and_o pull_v it_o down_o oh_o lord_n what_o ruin_n be_v like_a to_o follow_v i_o see_v nothing_o but_o destruction_n like_o to_o fall_v upon_o we_o as_o do_v upon_o the_o wicked_a philistian_n all_o those_o pastor_n who_o be_v either_o in_o chief_a place_n or_o endue_v with_o great_a

manful_o together_o to_o overthrow_v the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n and_o darkness_n and_o to_o establish_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n among_o we_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v call_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n we_o ought_v likewise_o to_o pour_v out_o our_o prayer_n before_o god_n that_o this_o pillar_n may_v stand_v steadfast_a among_o we_o and_o here_o if_o i_o do_v love_n digression_n &_o discourse_n from_o my_o matter_n i_o in_o get_v answer_v the_o papist_n who_o brag_n much_o of_o this_o place_n &_o cry_v mighty_o out_o say_v the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n we_o be_v the_o church_n therefore_o we_o be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n but_o this_o reason_n i_o will_v return_v upon_o they_o the_o church_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n now_o if_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o they_o be_v the_o pillar_n upholder_n &_o mainteners_n of_o truth_n then_o must_v we_o and_o will_v we_o grant_v they_o to_o be_v the_o church_n but_o if_o they_o be_v the_o piler_n of_o damnable_a doctrine_n contrary_a to_o god_n holy_a word_n howsoever_o they_o brag_n themselves_o to_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v in_o deed_n the_o synagogue_n of_o satan_n in_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v three_o thing_n the_o table_n of_o the_o testament_n the_o pot_n of_o mannâ—_n &_o the_o rod_n of_o aaron_n which_o be_v three_o certain_a sign_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o christ_n whereby_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o where_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v true_o preach_v the_o sacrament_n according_a to_o christ_n institution_n minister_v and_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n due_o execute_v there_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n now_o if_o the_o papist_n can_v prove_v that_o in_o there_o church_n true_a doctrine_n ground_v upon_o god_n word_n have_v be_v preach_v that_o the_o sacrament_n have_v be_v use_v &_o minister_v according_a to_o christ_n institution_n and_o that_o discipline_n have_v be_v right_o execute_v then_o will_v we_o recant_v and_o revoke_v whatsoever_o we_o have_v mainetain_v or_o preach_v then_o will_v we_o join_v hand_n with_o they_o but_o this_o they_o can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v &_o therâ—â—e_o they_o can_v never_o prove_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o â—e_z church_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n but_o to_o leave_v this_o now_o i_o will_v come_v to_o the_o â—ird_n part_n of_o my_o matter_n which_o contain_v i_o have_v before_o touch_v a_o exhortation_n of_o â—e_a prophet_n unto_o the_o wicked_a to_o cease_v from_o â—eir_n folly_n and_o wickedness_n not_o to_o trust_v to_o â—uch_o to_o their_o own_o wisdom_n and_o power_n not_o 〈◊〉_d exalt_v themselves_o against_o god_n and_o his_o people_n but_o rather_o to_o remember_v that_o all_o true_a â—eferment_n come_v from_o god_n and_o he_o exalâ—â—â—_n some_o and_o put_v down_o other_o i_o say_v â—o_o the_o foolish_a be_v not_o so_o foolish_a etc_n etc_n first_o 〈◊〉_d we_o consider_v who_o the_o prophet_n call_v â—â—â—sh_a
judge_n â—niustly_o justice_n must_v have_v but_o and_o eye_n â—nd_v not_o two_o not_o to_o look_v on_o the_o cause_n â—ith_v the_o one_o and_o on_o the_o purse_n with_o the_o oâ—â—er_n not_o on_o

of_o man_n now_o to_o come_v again_o to_o my_o text_n when_o i_o take_v a_o convenient_a time_n say_v god_n i_o will_v judge_v just_o this_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n i_o have_v before_o touch_v consist_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n in_o save_v and_o deliver_v his_o people_n and_o plague_a his_o enemy_n and_o when_o be_v it_o a_o convenient_a time_n for_o god_n to_o judge_v thou_o just_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o convenient_a time_n for_o god_n to_o judge_v just_o in_o punish_v of_o the_o wicked_a when_o their_o sin_n be_v grow_v to_o a_o ripeness_n and_o fullness_n when_o no_o admonition_n will_v amend_v they_o when_o no_o correction_n will_v reclaim_v they_o than_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o convenient_a time_n for_o god_n to_o pour_v down_o his_o heavy_a judgement_n upon_o they_o when_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n be_v wax_v great_a upon_o the_o earth_n and_o all_o flesh_n have_v defile_v their_o way_n and_o god_n have_v appoint_v they_o a_o space_n office_n score_n

i_o say_v can_v amend_v they_o but_o they_o neglect_v god_n call_v despise_v his_o preacher_n and_o continue_a in_o their_o wickedness_n than_o be_v it_o a_o convenient_a time_n for_o god_n to_o

for_o when_o neither_o the_o divine_a doctrine_n which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n teach_v nor_o the_o wonderful_a work_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v among_o they_o can_v move_v they_o to_o

convenient_a time_n for_o god_n to_o bring_v the_o roman_n upon_o they_o by_o who_o they_o be_v miserable_o and_o terrible_o destroy_v let_v we_o dear_o belove_a be_v admonish_v by_o these_o example_n to_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o walk_v not_o in_o the_o like_a stubbornness_n and_o commit_v not_o the_o like_a wickedness_n as_o they_o do_v for_o sure_o if_o we_o do_v we_o shall_v drink_v of_o the_o same_o cup_n as_o they_o do_v but_o when_o i_o consider_v our_o great_a unthankfulness_n towards_o god_n our_o great_a wickedness_n against_o god_n our_o backslide_n and_o backstart_v from_o god_n i_o stand_v in_o horror_n and_o terror_n of_o these_o heavy_a judgement_n which_o i_o fear_v i_o hang_v over_o we_o god_n for_o his_o mercy_n turn_v they_o away_o from_o we_o and_o the_o only_a way_n for_o we_o to_o avoid_v they_o be_v to_o turn_v by_o true_a &_o unfeigned_a repentance_n to_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n who_o be_v gracious_a &_o merciful_a slow_a to_o anger_n and_o of_o great_a goodness_n thus_o you_o have_v hear_v when_o it_o be_v a_o convenient_a time_n for_o god_n to_o plague_v his_o enemy_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v when_o it_o be_v a_o convenient_a time_n for_o god_n to_o judge_v just_o in_o save_v and_o deliver_v his_o people_n when_o god_n have_v sufficient_o correct_v his_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n have_v try_v their_o faith_n and_o prove_v their_o

to_o deliver_v they_o from_o their_o misery_n when_o god_n have_v punish_v the_o isâ—alites_n in_o egypt_n where_o they_o be_v grevousâ—y_o oppress_v 10._o and_o there_o be_v no_o mean_n for_o man_n
