God

and
also
,
because

foresaw

which
gift
of

was
given
in
the
old

,
as
well
as
the

and
in

;
and
the
gift
of
Prophesie
vnder
the

began
with
Christ
,
the
chiefe
of
Prophets
,
and
ended
with
Iohn
,
who
wrote
the
Revelation
,
containing
all
memorable
things
to
befall
the
Church
of
God
,
or
enemies
there
of
to
the
end
of
the
world
:
For
how
soeuer
I
will
not
tye
the
spirit
of
God

but
hee
may
still
at

pleasure
endue
with

yet
it
may
seeme
,
that
Iustin

by

meant
but
such
as
did
open
and
expound
the
ancient
Prophets
of

If

indeed
came

yet
I
take
it
the
ordinary
gift
of
Prophesie
ceased
in
the
Church
with
Iohn
.
Brocard
and
some
others
who
professed
themselves
Prophets
,
and
by
written
Prophesies
foretold
many
things
,
the

proclaimed
them
for
fooles
,
liers
,
and
deceivers
,
and
that
they
never
had
any
such
gift
of
God
.
For
the
Prophets
of
the
old
Testament
,
in
some
ages
God
raised
up
many
,
in
some
very
few
,
in
some
none
:
From
the
time
of
Malachie
untill
Christ
we
have
no
writings
nor
knowledge
of
any
,
which
was

400.

And
this
was
to
stirre
up
in
Gods
people
a
greater
longing
for
Christ
,
and
his
forerunner
Iohn
the
Baptist
,
of
whom
Malachie
had
so
plainly
prophesied
.
The
times
in
the
old
Testament
which
most
abounded
with
Prophets
,
were
the
times
before
the
captivities
of
Israel
&
Iudah
,
to
reprove
them
for
their
sinnes
,
threaten
them
with
judgements
,
comfort
the
godly
,
and
make
the
wicked
excuselesse
,
who
contemned
God
and
his
word
;
this
being
often
and
most
heavily
laid
to
their
charge
,
that
he
did
rise
up
early
and
late
,
sending
all
his
Prophets
,
but
they
would
not
heare

Concerning
our
present
Prophet
,
hee
was
an
excellent
man
of
God
,
sanctified
in
his
mothers
wombe
,
and
abundantly
furnished
with
extraordinarie
graces
and
gifts
of
God
:
his
name
was
Ieremie
,
about
the
Etymon
whereof
,
the
godly
learned
are
somewhat
divided
in
opinion
;
two
of
them
are
good
,
you
may
chuse
whether
yee
will
:
One
deriveth
his
name
from
such
rootes
in
the
Hebrew
tongue
,
as
signifie
an
excellent
man
of
[

a

.

God
;
and
so
was
he
indeed
in
regard
of
sanctifying
grace
and
propheticall
gifts
,
and
is
by
a
learned
man
proposed
to
Preachers
of
the
Gospell
,
as
being
an
admirable
Preacher
[

*

Another
deriveth
his
name
from
such
a
roote
as
signifieth
to
cast
off
;
Iirmijah
,

;
and
so
he
was
in
regard
of
his
condition
,
for
of
all
the
Prophets
of
God
hee
suffered
most
,
and
was
most
calamitous

Me
thinketh
when
I
reade
his
Storie
and
Prophesie
,
hee
is
even
another
Paul

and
might
say
of
the
Prophets
,
as
hee
did
of

;
Are

are

most
materiall
for
you
to
take
knowledge
of
,
is
the
time
when
he
prophesied
,
which
is
said
to
begin
in
the
thirteenth
year
of
Iosiah
King
of
Iudah

to
hold

Assuredly

not

the
fearfull
judgements
of
God
upon

comfortable
,
that
God
is
more
ready
to
heare
and
helpe
,
than
his
people
are
to
call
upon
him
.
But
here
God
telleth
the
Prophet
,
he
will
not
heare
him
;
oh
this
is
fearefull
!
As
then
Iacob
awaking
out
of
his
dreame
,
said
,
How
dreadfull
is
this
place
?
this
is
none
other
,
but
the
gate
of
Heaven
[
y
](A04160-e2650-b)
y
Gen.
28.

;
so
may
I
say
,
when
I
muse
upon
these
words
,
Oh
how
dreadfull
is
this
text
!
this
is
none
other
,
but
the
gate
of
destruction
;
Oh
sinne
,
oh
sinne
,
whither
leadest
thou
?
how
vile
and
odious
a
thing
art
thou
!
that
bindest
Gods
hands
,
that
he
cannot
helpe
;
stoppest
Gods
eares
,
that
he
cannot
heare
;
shuttest
his
eyes
,
that
he
cannot
see
;
turnest
compassions
into
cruelties
;
smiling
countenance
,
into
frownes
;
promises
,
into
threatnings
;
mercies
,
into
judgements
;
and
of
a
loving
Father
,
makest
an
angry
Iudge
!
Oh
wofull
,
the
condition
of
Gods
people
now
!
That
it
may
not
be
yours
,
be
ware
of
their
sins
.
And
this
is
the
maine
marke
I
aime
at
,
both
in
the
choyce
and
handling
of
this
Scripture
;
which
that
I
may
the
more
orderly
and
profitably
doe
,
I
will
first
give
you
the
sense
of
the
words
,
and
then
raise
the
Doctrines
,
with
their
severall
Uses
and
Applications
:
and
because
they
are
many
,
and
very
usefull
,
let
me
stand
a
little
longer
,
in
the
inlightning
of
this
darke
Scripture
,
because
upon
the
true
understanding
thereof
,
as
on
an
immovable
foundation
,
the
ensuing
Doctrines
are
raised
and
builded
.
The
question
then
is
,
whether
this
be
an
absolute
I
answer
,
It
was
an
absolute
prohibition
,
as
the
letters
sound
,
so
as
if
hee
had
prayed
for
them
,
hee
had
sinned
;
yet
with
this
qualification
,
that
he
is
forbidden
to
pray
for
them
,
that
they
may
not
be
carried
into
captivitie
.
Their
captivitie
in
Babylon
was
the
burthen
of
his
prophesie
,
and
against
that
he
may
not
pray
[
*
](A04160-e2690-b)
*
Est
speciale
interdictum
.
Piscat
.
in
locum
.
;
as
a
judicious
Divine
saith
on
the
place
,
hee
might
not
pray
for
the
state
of
the
kingdome
[
“
](A04160-e2700-b)
“
Non
debuit
prostatu
regni
or
are
.
Calv.
;
hee
might
,
and
doubtlesse
did
,
pray
for
many
blessings
of
God
,
yea
for
greater
blessings
than
this
was
,
or
could
be
;
hee
might
pray
to
God
to
give
them
knowledge
,
faith
,
repentance
,
remission
of
sinnes
,
redemption
from
eternall
captivitie
;
he
might
pray
to
God
,
to
give
them
comfort
and
patience
in
their
captivitie
,
and
to
send
them
deliverance
,
according
to
promise
;
he
might
pray
for
deliverance
from
some
other
judgements
,
as
famine
,
or
pestilence
;
but
to
pray
for
the
state
of
the
kingdome
,
that
it
might
stand
and
flourish
,
and
the
enemie
not
prevaile
,
so
he
might
not
pray
:
God
was
resolved
,
for
their
sinnes
,
they
should
goe
into
captivitie
,
as
their
brethren
before
them
had
done
.
That
this
is
the
true
sense
,
seemeth
to
mee
sufficiently
confirmed
by
these
foure
Reasons
.
First
,
after
this
time
,
we
doe
not
reade
that
ever
We
acknowledge
,
ô
Lord
,
our
wickednesse
,
and
the
iniquitie
of
our
fathers
,
for
we
have
sinned
against
thee
,
doe
not
abhorre
us
,
for
thy
names
sake
,
doe
not
disgrace
the
throne
of
thy
glory
,
remember
,
and
doe
not
breake
thy
covenant
with
us
[

](A04160-e2750-b)
z
Ierem.

:
Could
there
be
a
more
powerfull
and
patheticall
prayer
made
than
this
?
I
answer
,
that
the
very
next
words
to
that
prayer
,
the
last
verse
of
that
chapter
,
doth
declare
,
that
at
that
time
there
was
a
great
famine
,
by
reason
of
drought
;
and
for
remove
of
that
judgement
,
and
for
the
blessing
of
raine
he
prayed
,
saying
,
Is
there
any
among
the
vanities
of
the
Gentiles
,
that
can
cause
raine
?
or
can
the
Heavens
give
showers
?
art
not
thou
he
,
ô
Lord
our
God
?
therefore
we
will
wait
upon
thee
.
But
(
I
say
againe
)
he
never
prayed
,
that
the
people
might
not
goe
into
captivitie
,
which
proveth
that
this
was
an
absolute
prohibition
.
Yea
,
for
further
fortification
of
this
Reason
,
take
notice
,
that
he
was
so
farre
from
praying
for
Poure
out
their
bloud
by
the
force
of
the
sword
,
let
their
wives
be
bereaved
of
their
children
,
and
be
widowes
,
let
their
men
be
put
to
death
,
and
their
young
men
slaine
by
sword
in
battaile
[

.
And
againe
,
Let
me
see
thy
vengeance
upon
them
,
for
unto
thee
have
I
opened
my
cause

Thus
humbly
did
the
Prophet
subscribe
to
Gods
revealed
decree
,
and
zealously
pray
for
the
execution
of
it
,
though
most
contrary
to
his
naturall
desire
:
neither
did
ever
any
thing
so
much
grieve
and
afflict
him
,
as
his
Lamentations
beare
witnesse
.
If
any
object
,
that
herein
the
Prophet
was
wanting
No
,
no
,
we
must
love
one
another
,
but
it
must
[
c
](A04160-e2890-b)
c
Gen.
22.
,
and
go
as
chearfully
about
that
,
as
if
he
went
to
his
marriage
:
Eli
must
not
love
himselfe
,
nor
his
sonnes
,
but
in
God
,
if
hee
crave
such
a
message
against
him
and
his
house
,
as
whosoever
heareth
it
,
would
make
his
eares
to
tingle
;
It
is
the
Lord
(
saith
Eli
)
let
him
doe
what
seemeth
him
good

:
Hath
not
Christ
taught
us
to
pray
,
that
Gods
will
may
be
done
[
e
](A04160-e2940-b)

?
This
Prophet
loved
Gods
people
dearely
;
and
appealeth
unto
God
,
Remember
that
I
stood
before
thee
,
to
speake
good
for
them
,
and
to
turne
away
thy
wrath
from
them
[
f

f

Gods
will
be
done
with
us
,
and
on
us
.
:
but
when
God
forbiddeth
him
to
pray
,
he
must
either
hold
his
peace
,
or
pray
for
execution
of
Gods
judgements
.
Secondly
,
the
Prophet
ever
perswaded
the
King
,
Princes
,
and
people
,
without
any
resistance
Thus
saith
the
Lord
,
behold
I
set
before
you
the
way
of
life
,
and
way
of
death
:
he
that
abideth
in
the
Citie
shall
die
by
the
sword
,
by
famine
,
and
by
pestilence
;
but
he
that
goeth
out
,
and
falleth
to
the
Caldeans
that
besiege
you
,
he
shall
live
,
and
his
life
shall
be
unto
him
for
a
prey
;
for
I
have
set
my
face
against
this
Citie
,
for
evill
,
and
not
for
good
,
it
shall
be
given
into
the
hands
of
the
King
of
Babylon
,
and
he
shall
burne
it
with
fire
,
saith
the
Lord
[
g
](A04160-e3010-b)
g
Ierem.
21.
9.
.
The
like
he
counselled
Zedekiah
the
King
,
Bring
your
necks
under
the
yoke
of
the
King
of
Babylon
,
and
serve
him
and
his
people
,
and
live
;
why
will
ye
die
,
thou
and
thy
people
,
by
the
sword
,
by
the
famine
,
and
by
the
pestilence
[

h
Ierem.
27.

12.
?
And
as
he
advised
the
King
and
people
to
yeeld
themselves
;
so
he
wrote
a
letter
to
those
that
were
carried
away
captives
,
requiring
them
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
to
be
quiet
,
and
to
pray
to
the
Lord
for
the
peace
of
the
Citie
[
i
](A04160-e3050-b)
i
Ierem.

;
which
sheweth
,
that
Ieremie
well
knew
that
the
Lords
purpose
was
absolute
,
and
his
prohibition
to
pray
for
them
so
too
.
If
any
man
shall
aske
me
,
whether
Gods
threatnings
I
answer
,
that
many
of
Gods
threatnings
of
At
what
instant
I
shall
speake
concerning
a
nation
,
and
concerning
a
kingdome
to
plucke
up
,
pull
downe
,
and
destroy
it
;
if
that
nation
against
whom
I
have
pronounced
,
turne
from
their
evill
,
I
will
repent
of
the
evill
I
have
thought
to
doe
unto
them

It
was
the
case
of
Ninivie
,
against
which
Ionah
,
by
commission
from
the
Lord
,
pronounced
,
Yet
fortie
dayes
,
and
Ninivie
shall
be
destroyed
[

l
Ionah

:
yet
Ninivie
repenting
,
Ninivie
was
not
then
destroyed
,
God
changed
his
revealed
will
and
sentence
,
the
prophesie
fell
,
but
the
Citie
fell
not
;
yea
,
the
same
punishment
,
which
at
the
first
threatning
is
conditionall
,
yet
afterwards
may
become
absolute
and
unavoidable
;
as
the
destruction
of
Sodome
,
conditionally
threatned
,
when
as
at
Abrahams
suit
the
Lord
was
brought
from
fiftie
to
ten
,
If
there
be
found
but
ten
righteous
persons
in
Sodome
,
I
will
spare
it
for
the
ten
sake
[

m

penult.
:
but
because
they
could
not
be
found
,
the
destruction
was
absolutely
threatned
,
when
the
Angell
said
to
Lot
,
We
will
destroy
this
place
,
the
Lord
hath
sent
us
to
destroy
it
[

](A04160-e3210-b)
n

;
and
if
God
had
not
beene
mercifull
to
pull
Lot
away
,
he
had
beene
destroyed
in
it
.
Such
was
the
case
of
this
people
.
If
when
Ieremie
began
his
ministerie
,
reproved
them
for
their
sinnes
,
and
threatned
them
with
captivitie
,
they
had
humbled
themselves
,
and
repented
in
sackcloth
[

:
but
growing
worse
and
worse
,
and
unto
their
former
sinnes
,
adding
this
of
extremely
abusing
the
Prophet
,
the
Lord
grew
to
be
resolute
,
they
should
into
captivitie
as
well
as
their
brethren
,
he
revealed
it
unto
his
Prophet
,
and
forbade
him
to
pray
for
them
,
which
he
did
,
and
only
counselled
them
to
yeeld
themselves
into
their
enemies
hands
.
Thirdly
,
by
way
of
prevention
,
God
satisfied
his
Prophet
,
in
what
he
foresaw
might
be
objected
.
Seest
thou
not
what
they
doe
in
the
Cities
of
Iudah
,
and
streets
of
Ierusalem
?
The
children
gather
wood
,
and
the
fathers
kindle
the
fire
,
and
the
women
knead
their
dough
to
bake
cakes
to
the
Queene
of
Heaven
:
Therefore
my
furie
shall
be
poured
out
on
such
a
people
unworthie
to
be
prayed
for
.
Is
it
not
a
just
thing
to
send
such
into
captivitie
?
Secondly
,
he
declareth
his
soveraigne
and
absolute
[
o
](A04160-e3390-b)
o
Ierem.
18.
1
,
6.
;
then
came
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
saying
,
O
house
of
Israel
,
cannot
I
doe
with
you
,
as
this
potter
?
behold
,
as
the
clay
is
in
the
hands
of
the
potter
,
so
are
yee
in
mine
hands
.
The
clay
is
not
beholden
to
the
potter
,
for
it
had
being
before
;
and
the
clay
never
offended
the
potter
,
yet
the
potter
may
make
what
vessell
he
will
,
and
the
vessell
not
complaine
,
Why
hast
thou
made
me
thus
?
But
we
are
beholding
to
God
for
our
being
,
and
we
have
sinned
against
him
,
and
may
he
not
doe
with
us
as
pleaseth
him
?
This
sinfull
people
shall
into
captivitie
,
the
Prophet
must
not
pray
for
them
,
yet
is
God
herein
most
righteous
and
just
.
Yea
,
but
harken
how
the
Prophet
Ah
Lord
God
,
the
Prophets
say
unto
them
,
yee
shall
not
see
the
sword
,
but
you
shall
have
an
assured
peace
in
this
place
.
Then
sayd
the
Lord
,
the
Prophets
prophesie
lies
in
my
name
,
I
sent
them
not
,
neither
have
I
commanded
them
,
neither
spoken
unto
them
,
they
prophesie
a
false
vision
and
divination
,
the
deceit
of
their
owne
heart
,
but
I
will
bring
the
sword
,
yea
and
by
the
sword
shall
those
false
Prophets
also
be
consumed
[
p
](A04160-e3440-b)
p
Ierem.
14.
13.
;
speake
unto
the
people
,
and
charge
them
,
that
they
harken
not
to
the
Prophets
,
Diviners
,
Dreamers
,
Inchaunters
,
and
Sorcerers
,
which
say
,
ye
shall
not
serve
the
King
of
Babel
,
for
they
prophesie
a
lie
unto
you
[
q
](A04160-e3460-b)
q
Ier.
27.

,
10
,
14.
.
Thus
God
preventeth
his
Prophet
,
and
declareth
that
this
judgement
is
well
deserved
,
and
standeth
with
justice
and
truth
,
and
would
have
the
Prophet
to
rest
therein
,
and
not
pray
for
them
.
Lastly
,
though
many
temporall
judgements
be
The
land
shall
be
desolate
,
the
earth
shall
mourne
,
and
the
heavens
above
be
blacke
,
I
have
spoken
it
,
I
have
purposed
it
,
and
will
not
repent
,
neither
will
I
turne
backe
from
it

That
must
needs
stand
,
which
the
Lord
thus
avoucheth
;
yet
to
make
it
,
if
it
were
possible
,
more
sure
,
the
Lord
hath
sworne
it
,
I
sweare
by
my selfe
,
(
saith

Lord

this
house
shall

that

Apostle
saith
,
an
oath
declareth
the
immutabilitie
of
his
counsell
.
God
never
sware
,
but
hee
performed
it
.
He
hath
sworne
,
and
will
not
repent
(
saith
David
[
u
](A04160-e3620-b)
u
Psal.
110.
4.
)
if
God
sweare
,
he
will
never
repent
of
it
;
he
may
change
his
sentence
,
but
never
reverse
Let
it
suffice
,
speake
no
more
to
me
of
this
matter
,
Deut.

He
cannot
lie
,
much
lesse
forsweare
himselfe
,
he
hath
seldome
sworne
,
but
ever
made
it
good
.
Seeing
then
God
revealed
to
The
maine
objection
(
which
I
know
of
)
that
may
be
made
either
against
this
sense
delivered
,
or
Now
therefore
let
me
alone
,
that
I
may
consume
them
,
and
I
will
make
of
thee
a
great
nation
;
and
Moses
besought
the
Lord
,
and
he
repented
of
the
evill
which
he
thought
to
doe
to
his
people
[
*
](A04160-e3740-b)
*

.
I
answer
,
that
betwixt
that
to
Moses
,
and
this
to
Ieremie
,
Let
me
alone
,
but
to
make
him
bold
to
pray
[

](A04160-e3830-b)
*
Quid
est
,
Dimitte

Gregor.
;
but
this
charge
is
with
waightie
words
,
Thou
shalt
not
pray
,
nor
crie
,
nor
make
intercession
,
for
I
will
not
heare
thee
.
Secondly
,
Moses
was
but
once
bid
let
God
alone
;

.
Now
if
Ioseph
told
Pharaoh
his
dreame
was
doubled
,
because
the
thing
was
established
of
God
;
he
will
bring
it
to
passe
[
y
](A04160-e3940-b)
y
Gen.
41.
32.
;
how
much
more
may
I
say
,
this
charge
is
tripled
to
his
Prophet
,
to
signifie
that
he
meaneth
good
sooth
,
their
captivitie
is
decreed
and
established
of
God
,
and
he
will
bring
it
to
passe
.
Thirdly
and
lastly
,
God
threatned
to
Moses
,
he
would
utterly
consume
the
people
,
yea
,
and
blot
out
their
name
from
under
heaven
[
z
](A04160-e4010-b)
z
Deut.
9.
14.
;
that
God
could
not
doe
,
but
much
dishonour
his
name
;
and
therefore
Moses
urgeth
in
his
prayer
,
wherefore
should
the
Aegyptians
speake
and
say
,
For
mischiefe
did
he
bring
them
out
,
to
slay
them
in
the
mountaines
,
and
to
consume
them
from
the
face
of
the
earth
.
Againe
,
to
doe
so
,
were
to
breake
promise
and
oath
,
which
he
had
made
with
their
fathers
,
and
therefore
Moses
doth
specially
urge
that
,
Remember
Abraham
,
Isaack
,
and
Israel
thy
servants
,
to
whom
thou
swarest
by
thine
owne
selfe
,
and
saydst
unto
them
,
I
will
multiply
your
seed
,
as
the
starres
of
heaven
,
and
all
this
land
that
I
have
spoken
of
,
will
I
give
unto
your
seed
,
and
they
shall
inherit
it
[
a
](A04160-e4060-b)
a
Deut.
32.
12
,
13.
.
So
that
what
face
soever
it
carried
,
Moses
saw
well
enough
,
God
did
not
meane
he
should
not
pray
for
them
.
But
the
case
is
here
altered
;
first
,
Gods
glorie
is
no
way
endangered
,
no
more
than
it
was
by
the
captivitie
of
the
ten
Tribes
;
nay
,
this
was
greatly
for
his
glorie
;
first
,
that
all
nations
might
see
what
a
just
God
he
is
,
who
will
not
forbeare
to
punish
sinne
,
no
not
in
his
owne
people
;
for
many
nations
shall
say
,
Wherefore
hath
the
Lord
done
thus
to
this
great
Citie
?
and
they
shall
answer
,
Because
they
have
forsaken
the
covenant
of
the
Lord
their
God
,
and
worshipped
other
Gods
,
and
served
them
[
b
](A04160-e4100-b)
b
Ierem.
22.
9.
;
but
his
deliverance
of
them
out
of
captivitie
should
be
much
more
for
his
glorie
,
for
hee
meant
that
should
be
more
eminent
and
glorious
than
their
deliverance
out
of
Aegypt
was
,
so
as
after
that
time
it
should
be
no
more
said
,
The
Lord
liveth
that
brought
up
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
Aegypt
;
but
the
Lord
liveth
that
brought
up
the
children
of
Israel
from
the
land
of
the
North
,
and
from
all
the
lands
whither
he
had
driven
them
[
c
](A04160-e4120-b)
c
Ierem.
16.
14.
.
See
how
greatly
their
captivitie
should
be
for
his
glorie
.
Neither
was
this
against
any
promise
or
oath
:
for
hee
had
already
performed
them
,
he
had
cast
out
the
Heathen
,
and
planted
Israel
in
.
Yea
rather
herein
God
was
as
good
as
his
word
,
for
hee
had
threatned
them
,
if
they
were
rebellious
and
disobedient
,
he
would
give
them
into
the
hands
of
their
enemies
,
and
they
should
reigne
over
them
[

d
Deut.

.
Thus
I
hope
,
by
conference
of
Scriptures
,
I
have
sufficiently
cleared
the
sense
of
this
,
viz.
that
it
was
an
absolute
prohibition

;
and
therefore
,
howsoever
the
Prophet
was
exceedingly
afflicted
;
to
foresee
in
spirit
,
and
afterwards
to
see
with
the
eyes
of
his
bodie
the
captivitie
of
the
Iewes
,
and
desolation
of
the
Citie
and
Temple
,
neither
was
hee
ever
wanting
to
give
them
good
counsell
,
and
pray
in
other
cases
for
them
;
yet
in
this
,
he
might
not
;
in
this
he
did
not
.
Now
it
followeth
to
build
doctrines
,
for
Instruction
,
Consolation
,
and
Reprehension
;
and
by
application
to
make
them
usefull
unto
us
:
which
doctrines
naturally
arising
,
are
many
,
and
namely
these
.
First
,
God
commonly
giveth
warning
,
before
Surely
the
Lord
God
will
doe
nothing
,
but
hee
revealeth
his
secrets
unto
his
servants

Prophets

.
Before
God
brought
the
floud
,
God
revealed
it
to
Noah
[

f
Gen.
6.

,
who
by
word
of
mouth
,
and
building
the
Arke
,
gave
warning
to
the
old
world
,
for
120.
yeeres
[

:
before
hee
sent
fire
and
brimstone
to
consume
the
Cities
in
the
plaine
,
hee
revealed
it
to
Abraham
,
and
then
to
Lot
,
and
his
children
[
h
](A04160-e4290-b)
h

12
,
13.
:
before
the
judgements
were
executed
on
Pharaoh
and
Aegypt
,
God
revealed
it
to
Moses
and
Aaron
[
i
](A04160-e4330-b)
i
Exod.
3.
19
,
20.
:
before
he
destroyed
Ninivie
,
he
gave
knowledge
thereof
to
Ionah
,
and
he
proclaimed
,
Yet
fortie
dayes
,
and
Ninivie
shall
be
destroyed
[
k
](A04160-e4360-b)
k

.
The
Iewes
shall
not
be
destroyed
,
but
the
day
and
time
shall
be
first
proclaimed
,
that
Gods
people
may
betake
themselves
to
fasting
and
prayer
.
Before
the
captivitie
of
the
ten
Tribes
,
God
revealed
it
to
many
of
his
Prophets
,
as
Isaiah
,
Iehu
,
Eliah
,
Michaiah
,
Obadiah
,
Hosheah
,
Amos
,
Ioel
:
that
,
as
before
a
great
storme
the
cocks
crow
loud
and
thicke
;
so
before
this
great
judgement
,
the
Prophets
threatned
,
and
cried
loud
and
shrill
;
before
the
captivitie
of
Iudah
and
Beniamin
,
many
other
Prophets
knew
of
it
,
and
were
sent
to
threaten
it
,
as
Esay
,
Ezechiel
,
Zephanie
,
and
our
Prophet
,
who
most
plainly
told
them
,
for
how
long
it
should
continue
.
How
were
the
Iewes
abundantly
warned
,
before
their
finall
destruction
and
dispersion
?
how
is
Babylon
fore warned
?
how
those
golden
Churches
in
Asia
Minor
?
how
are
wee
all
forewarned
of
the
destruction
of
the
world
by
fire
?
how
are
we
all
forewarned
of
the
destruction
of
the
wicked
in
hell
fire
?
yea
,
what
judgement
can
befall
us
,
but
our
consciences
must
needs
testifie
,
that
some
way
or
other
,
yea
many
wayes
,
God
hath
given
us
warning
?
All
which
doe
sufficiently
confirme
our
doctrine
,
that
commonly
God
doth
give
warning
,
before
hee
bring
any
great
judgement
upon
his
people
,
or
any
place
where
his
people
are
.
Only
this
is
to
be
lamented
,
that
people
will
take
no
warning
.
As
it
was
in
the
dayes
of
Noah
,
so
shall
it
be
at
the
end
of
the
world
,
Matth.
24.
The
men
of
the
old
world
had
warning
faire
enough
,
and
yet
knew
nothing
,
would
know
nothing
:
wee
have
warning
enough
,
but
most
will
take
no
warning
,
but
walke
on
still
,
and
will
know
nothing
,
till
the
heavens
be
all
on
a
flaming
fire
,
the
trumpet
sound
,
yea
hell
fire
seaze
upon
them
;
and
then
it
is
too
late
.
You
will
aske
me
,
by
what
meanes
doth
God
I
answer
:
the
meanes
are
of
two
sorts
,
viz.
ordinarie
,
and
extraordinarie
;
the
ordinarie
meanes
,
is
the
ministerie
of
his
servants
:
as
of
Noah
to
the
old
world
,
Lot
to
Sodome
,
Moses
and
Aaron
to
Aegypt
,
Prophets
to
Iudah
and
Israel
,
Christ
and
his
Apostles
to
the
Iewes
,
Ionah
to
Ninivie
,
(
as
you
have
heard
)
Meanes
extraordinarie
are
divers
;
as
terrible
signes
in
Sunne
,
Moone
,
and
Stars
;
earth-quakes
,
thunders
,
flashes
of
lightning
,
raging
windes
,
roaring
of
seas
;
of
all
which
,
though
some
naturall
reasons
may
bee
probably
rendred
,
yet
being
extraordinarie
,
they
doe
proclaime
,
in
their
kinde
,
Gods
anger
,
and
threaten
some
judgement
.
So
Christ
said
,
before
his
comming
to
judgement
,
there
should
be
signes
in
Sunne
,
Moone
,
Stars
,
Aire
,
Earth
,
Sea
,
so
as
mens
hearts
should
faile
with
feare

and

report
strange
things
,
before
the
finall
destruction
of

star

fearfull

of

But
of
all
presages
,
that
is
most
remarkable
,
which
Iosephus
hath

De
prodigijs
&
praesagijs
:
One
Iesus
the
sonne
of
Ananus
,
foure
yeeres
before
the
Romanes
came
,
when
the
Citie
was
in
great
peace
and
opulencie
,
hee
began
to
cry
up
and
downe
in
the
Citie
,
and
specially
in
the
Temple
,
and
that
upon
their
most
solemne
festivities
,
Woe
,
woe
to
Ierusalem
:
and
being
privately
by
many
,
and
afterwards
publikely
by
Magistrates
,
both
rebuked
,
punished
,
and
threatned
,
to
hold
his
peace
;
yet
he
held
on
,
so
long
as
he
was
able
day
and
night
,
till
in
the
end
the
enemies
came
,
and
hee
walking
upon
the
wals
,
and
crying
as
before
,
Woe
to
the
people
,
woe
to
Ierusalem
,
and
woe
to
the
Temple
,
at
the
last
he
also
cryed
out
,
And
woe
to
me
.
At
which
words
,
lapis
tormento
missus
,
a
stone
being
throwne
by
some
warlike
instrument
then
in
use
,
it
hit
him
in
the
head
:
so
ended
he
his
life
and
presage
;
which
some
accounted
to
proceed
from
divine
instinct
.
God
often
gave
them
into
the
hands
of
their
enemies
,
and
often
delivered
them
,
and
everie
deliverance
was
as
a
warning-peece
,
to
sinne
no
more
,
lest
he
would
deliver
them
no
more
.
Everie
mercie
abused
is
a
warning-peece
,
and
threatneth
judgement
,
Woe
to
Capernaum
,
which
had
beene
exalted
to
heaven
.
Likewise
lesser
judgements
(
when
people
doe
not
repent
)
doe
threaten
greater
,
as
everie
lesser
plague
in
Aegypt
did
threaten
a
greater
in
the
heele
of
it
,
according
to
Gods
threatning
,
If
for
these
things
thou
wilt
not
repent
,
I
will
punish
thee
seven
times
more
,
Levit.
26.
Now
Iudah
and
Ierusalem
must
to
it
,
because
they
would
not
be
warned
by
the
calamitie
of
their
brethren
.
Deliverances
from
evils
not
thankfully
received
,
nor
godly
use
made
of
them
,
threaten
judgements
:
yea
,
mercies
abused
threaten
judgement
:
and
the
greater
mercies
abused
,
the
greater
judgements
threatned
;
loe
these
are
the
meanes
,
besides
many
others
,
for
it
is
not
possible
to
reckon
up
all
.
Thirdly
,
would
you
know
the
Reasons
of
this
For

first
;
This

doth
,
to
declare
the
riches
of

how

and
loth

,
for
his
peoples
sake
,
that
being
threatned
and
warned
,

their
faith
and
The
third
&
last
reason
is
in
regard
of
the
wicked
,
that
they

threatned
and
warned

and
taking

peace
;
having
made
a
covenant
with
death
,
and
are
at
an
agreement
with
hell
,
that
all
such
wickednesse
may
be
cut
off
,
and
perish
without
excuse
.
Lo
these
are
the
reasons
.
Now
if
wee
make
Application
,
who
seeth
not
that
the
hand
of

is
verie

To
come
to
our selves
,
we
Gods
Ministers
have
told
you
of
these
things
before

What
have
wee
told
you
?
When
and
how
God
will
punish
this
land
?
No
,
we
could
not
tell
you
so
,
but
we
have
faithfully
told
you
,
the
sinnes
of
this
land
crie
unto
God
for
vengeance

God
is
a
just
God
,
and
if
sinne
be
not
repented
of
,
hee
will
punish
;
there
is
no
corner
of
the
land
,

for
many
yeeres
hath
rung
with
these
warnings

hence

ever
interlace
reproofes

prepare
them
for
times
of
triall
and
tentations

that
howsoever
they
lived
amongst
the
wicked
,
and
some
great
judgement
and
generall
might
come

yet
come
what
will
,
it
should
goe
well
with
them

yea
let

be
assured
,
the

will
require
as
strict
an
account

we
have
cheared

comforted

One
place
shall
serve
amongst

for
to

point

this
word
is
used
in

where

;
and
is
,
by
metaphor
,
frequently
ascribed
unto
prayer
;
wherin
Gods
servants
use
an
holy
force
and
violence
unto
God
,
in
their
deprecations
;
which
thing
also
our
English
translation
signifieth
,
Doe
not
(
intercede
)
which
is
properly
a
Latine
word
,
and
signifieth
to
come
betwixt
[
*

*
Inter
&
cede
.
;
and
so
to
let
,
hinder
,
withstand
,
or
prohibit
the
doing
of
a
thing
.
As
if
God
had
more
plainly
said
,
according
to
the
originall
and
Translations
,
I
am
purposed
that
this
people
shall
be
carried
into
Captivitie
,
and
doe
not
thou
by
thy
prayers
come
betwixt
me
and
them
,
to
let

hinder
,
withstand
,
or
resist
mee
.
The
Doctrine
thus
naturally
and
properly
raised
,
is
well
fortified
and
backed
by
many
other
,
both
positive
and
exemplarie
Scriptures
.
The
Prophet
Esay
There
is
none
that
calleth
upon
thy
name
,
that
stirreth
up
himselfe
to
take
hold
of
thee

First
,
observe
how
in
times
of
greatest
need
,
Gods
Timothie
,
Stir
up
the
gift
of
God
.
The
graces
of
God
being

Secondly
,
being
stirred
up
by
prayers
faithfull
and
fervent
,
men
lay
hold
on
God
:
And
againe
,
I
sought
for
a
man
among

,
that
should
make
up

hedge

stand
in

should
not

speaketh
of
offering

taking

wherein

hath
a

part

for

were

carried
it
away

but
the
poorest

Christian
sicke
in

scarce
able
to
breathe
,
yet
by
sighes
and
groanes
may
offer
violence
,
and
take
Gods
kingdome
by
force
:
and
S.
Paul
beseecheth
the
Romanes
,
For
the
Lord
Iesus
Christs
sake
,
and
for
the
love
of
the
Spirit
,
that
they
would

their
prayers
to
God
for
him
[

He
would
have
them
pray
,
but
not
coldly
and
negligently
,
as
the
Papists
mumbling
and
tumbling
over
their
beads
,
when
their
mindes
are
wandring
about
earthly
occasions
;
but
hee
would
have
them
strive
with
God
,
and
put
all
their
strength
to
it
;
yea
,
to
strive
to
the
shedding
of

Thus

you

in
the
old
Testament
,
and
Christ
and
his
Apostles
in
the
new

To
this
purpose
,
sweet
are
the
sentences
of
some
of
the
Fathers

An
ancient
one
saith
,
When
prayers
joyne
together
in
devotions
,
they
doe
(
as
it
were
)
even
band
themselves
together
to

And
another
saith
,
The
Saints
have
God
so
bound
,
that
he
cannot
punish
without
their
permission
and
licence

Loe
,
loe
,
the
incomprehensible
mercie
and
loving
kindnesse
of
God
,
towards
such
as
truly
feare
and
serve
him
,
making
them
in
his
goodnesse
,
in
his
bottomelesse
goodnesse
(
I
say
)
so
powerfull
and
mightie
with
him
,
that
their
prayers
are
as
it
were
bands
to
tie
his
hands
,
and
as
a
wall
against
him
,
that
hee
cannot
execute
his
anger
(
though
most
justly
deserved
)
unlesse
they
will
suffer
him
,
and
(
as
it
were
)
stand
out
of
his
way
.
How
may
the
consideration
hereof
make
us
exclaime

O

what
is

art

what
they

,

so
to
doe
;
now
God
cannot
but
acknowledge
the
worke
of
his
owne

therefore
,
we
know

Idolaters

are
of
no

the
praiers

abominable

But
though
God
be
angry
,
and
have
mustred
his
Armies
,
yea
and
besieged
,
and
battered
,
so
powerfull
are
Gods
servants
,
that
they
can
stand
up
in
the
breach
,
and
by
their
praiers
turne
away
threatned

Oh
who
would
not

such
a
Kings
favourite
!
who
cannot
deny
any
thing
,
which
is
for
his
glory
,
and
their
true
good
?
The
more
I
thinke

the

I
am
astonished
,
that
man
,
poore

miserable
man
,
weake

sicke

diseased

vile

yet
should
be
such
a

to
the
King
of
Kings
:
Oh
the
free
mercy
and
love
of
God!
How
should
the
consideration
hereof
ravish
us
?
This
being
so
,
when
the
sinnes
of
a
people
are
full
,
and
when
the
Lord
is
purposed
to
bring
a
judgement
upon
a
people
,
hee
commonly
maketh
way
thereunto
.
As
an
earthly
King
purposing
to
doe
a
thing
which
he
knoweth
is
displeasant
to
his
favourite
,
who
would
hinder
him
in
it
,
will
make
way
,
by
sending
him
out
of
the

,
or
forbidding
him
to
speake

or
some
way
taking

So
the

to
lay

but
as
it
were
grew
weary

As
then
it
is
a
most
comfortable
thing
to
see
godly
men
to
live
,
and
to
see
men
zealous
in
preaching
,
praying
,
and
serving
God
;
as
when
a
storme
commeth

to
see
all
men
betake
themselves
to
their
tacklings
,
as
the
Prophet
saith
,
to
stirre
up

to
lay
hold

so
is
it
a
fearefull
thing
to
see
the
righteous
taken
away
by
death

or
such
as
have
beene
zealous

become
cold
,
carelesse
,
and
negligent

set
all
at

let
others
care
whom
it
doth

so
post
it
over

hereby

maketh
way

execution
of
some
great
judgement
,
by
removing
such
as
might
stand
in

breach

stop

And
verily

herein
lieth
no

feare

that
within

God
hath
Lots
,
Nehemiahs
,
and
Esaies
,
that
being
sensible
of

doe
warne
this
secure
and
unthankfull

,
lift
up
their
hearts
and
hands
with

make

with
faithfull

,
mourne
for

abominations
of

are

generally
wished

were
taken
out

way

as
those
that
trouble

world
,
and
if
it
were
not
for
them
it
would
be
well
,
and
we
should
have
merry
times

Oh
unthankfull
world
,
oh
wretched
and
unthankfull
world
,
that
wilt
not
acknowledge
,
but
hate
and
persecute
such
as
stand
in
the
breach
,
and
resist
God!
Well
know
,
if
ever
all
the
Noahs
be
is
the
Arke
,
and
all
the
Lots
out
of
Sodome
;
if
all
these
swallowes
have
once
taken
their
flight
there
will
come
the
coldest
and
wofullest
winter
,
that
ever
the
Church
amongst
us
felt
and
endured
.
But
of
this
more
anon
.
Let
us
now
proceed
to
the
uses
of
this
Doctrine
,
whereof
the
first
is
.
Seeing
Gods
servants
are
powerfull
with
God
,
Oh
where
are
these
friends
?
Why
doth
the
Church
of
God
suffer
so
much
evill
?
Why
doth
she
lie
open
to
the
execution
of
such
fearefull
judgements
?
Because
Gods
faithfull
servants
give
way
,
and
doe
not
stand
in
the
breach
for
her
,
to
resist
God
.
There
was
a
curse
,
yea
a
bitter
curse
,
laid
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Meroz
,
because
they
did
not
helpe
the
Lord
against
the
mighty
,
Iudg.
5.

And
no
lesse
curse
doth
lie
on
the
Inhabitants
of
any
Place
and
Countrey
,
when
the
Lord
is
in
armes
,
that
doe
not
by
their
prayers
helpe
the
poore
weake
Church
against
God
:
that
doe
not
lay
hold
on
him
and
resist
him
,
but
suffer
him
to
crush
and
destroy
.
The
greatest
victories
and
deliverances
that
ever
we
read
of
,
were
obtained
by
fasting
and
prayer
,
yea
seldome
,
if
ever
,
was
the
Church
in
any
trouble
and
danger
,
and
delivered
,
but
it
was
procured
by
prayer
:
and
surely
it
is
not
without
divine
providence
and
grace
,
that
Gods
Ministers
doe
so
labour
to
stirre
you
up
,
for
even
that
sheweth
God
hath
a
great
blessing
in
store
for
his
Church
,
if
his
servants
would
but
aske
it
of
him
.
Wherefore
I
say
againe
,
Pray
,
pray
,
pray
for
the
welfare
of
Ierusalem
,
they
shall
prosper
that
love
it
.
Wherefore
God
That
the
Lord
would
utterly
consume
all
things
from
the
land
,
man
and
beast
,
fowles
and
fishes
,
and
that
the
great
day
of
the
Lord
is
neere
,
and
hasteth
greatly
,
when
the
waightie
man
shall
crie
bitterly
,
for
it
is
a
day
of
wrath
,
a
day
of
trouble
and
distresse
,
a
day
of
wastnesse
and
desolation
,
a
day
of
darknesse
and
gloominesse
,
a
day
of
the
trumpet
and
alarum
,
against
the
defenced
Cities
and
high
towers
:
bloud
shall
bee
powred
out
as
dust
,
and
flesh
at
dung
:
neither
shall
silver
nor
gold
bee
able
to
deliver
them
in
the
day
of
the

wrath
,
but
the
whole

shall
bee
devoured
by
the
fire
of
his

,
for
hee
shall
make
a
cleane
riddance
of
all
them
that
dwell
in

I
say
,
after
the
Prophet
had
thus
spent
,
and
concluded
the
first
chapter
in
denunciation
of
severe
judgements
,
in
that
fearefull
manner
,
as
might
make

howsoever
therein
he
could

in

God
forbade

to

yet
his

performed

,
Nabuzaradan
the

Steward
,
(
according

not

set

gave

Alas
that
this
foolish
world
should
be
such
an
enemy
to
its
best
friends
,
and
from
whom
it
receiveth
most

Oh
little
doe
wicked
men
know

what
a
treasure
they
lose
in
the
death
of
a
good
man
,
how
open
then
they
lie
to
the
lash
of
Gods
judgements
,
when
he
is
gone
,
that
used
to
stand
in
the
breach
.
It
was
said
of

And
it
was
said
of

S.

,
Bishop
of

and
of
whom
Theodosius

Emperour
pronounced

And
indeed
,
how
Italy
hath
beene
harrowed
and
brought
to
desolation
by
the
fire
and
sword
of
barbarous
Nations
,
the
Goths
,
Hunnes
,
and
Vandals
,
and
made
the
Theater
of
most
lamentable
Tragedies

Histories

report

In
places
where
enemies
are
up
in
Armes
,
chariots
and
horses
are
in
great
request
;
and
when
enemies
besiege
,
there
is
great
regard
had
to
the
wals
;
if
they
have
breaches
made
in
them
,
and
none
to
defend
,
or
fall
downe
flat
(
as
the
wals
of

did
[

)
those
Cities
must
needs
be
surprised
:
Now
good
men
are
as
the
wals
of
the
Common-wealth
,
City
,
or
Towne
,
where
they
dwell
;
if
it
were
not
for
them
,
the
judgements
of
God
would
breake
in
,
and
destroy
them
.
How
are
such
to
be
esteemed
?
Noah
was
as
a
wall
to
the
old
world
,
and
no
sooner
in
the
Arke
,
but
the
floud
came
and
destroyed
them
all
.
Lot
was
as
a
wall
to
Sodome
,
and
no
sooner
in
Zoar
,
but
fire
and
brimstone
fell
and
consumed
them
all
.
The
Christians
were
as
the
wall
to
Ierusalem
,
and
no
sooner
in
Pella
,
but
Ierusalem
was
surprised
and
sacked
.
No
sooner
had
Iosiah
his
eies
closed
,
that
he
might
not
see
the
vengeance
,
but
be
taken
to
rest
,
as
God
had
promised
,
but
straightway
the
wofull
tragedy
of
Iudah
and
Ierusalem
beganne
.
Wherefore
the
Prophet
complaineth
,
that
good
and
mercifull
men
are
taken
away
,
and
men
doe
not
take
it
to
heart
[

,
as
a
great
losse
,
and
fearefull
prognostication
of
evill
.
For
conclusion
,
seeing
Gods
servants
are
so
we
doe
not
know
how
to
pray
,
as
we
ought
ourselves
,
but
it
is
the
Spirit
which
helpeth
our
infirmitie

,
so
specially
this
most
excellent
,
proper
,
and
peculiar
gift
of
praier
.
I
pray
you
observe
,
that
whereas
the
Lord
by
his
Prophet
promiseth
,
I
will
destroy
all
the
Nations
that
come
against
Ierusalem
,
he
presently
addeth
in
the
next
words
,
as
the
meanes
whereby
so
great
a
favour
is
procured
,
I
will
poure
upon
the
house
of
David
,
and
upon
the
Inhabitants
of
Ierusalem
,
the
spirit
of
grace
,
and
of
supplication
[
f
](A04160-e10820-b)
f

,

.
Where
note
,
first
,
what
is
the
lot
and
condition
Oh
most
gracious
good
God
,
wee
humbly
For
I
will
not
heare
thee
.
]
It
is
very
common
Wee
know
that
God
heareth
not
sinners
:
but
if
any
man
be
a
worshipper
of
God
,
and
doth
his
will
,
him
he
heareth
[
g
](A04160-e10960-b)
g

.
So
then
,
the
meaning
(
of
not
hearing
)
is
,
God
will
denie
what
the
Prophet
should
thus
begge
of
God
.
If
the
Prophet
(
contrary
to
his
charge
)
should
make
his
suit
unto
God
,
to
spare
his
people
,
and
preserve
them
from
captivitie
,
hee
would
not
heare
,
hee
would
not
grant
his
desire
;
he
should
but
sinne
against
God
himselfe
,
and
doe
the
people
no
good
;
God
was
now
unchangeably
resolved
,
Iudah
should
into
captivitie
,
as
well
as
their
brethren
the
ten
Tribes
;
he
was
resolved
to
cast
them
out
of
his
sight
,
as
he
had
done
the
whole
seed
of
Ephraim
;
and
it
were
bootlesse
for
the
Prophet
to
pray
against
this
,
which
he
signifieth
thus
,
I
will
not
heare
thee
[
*
](A04160-e11010-b)
*
Non
ego
exaudiam
.
.
Indeed
it
is
true
,
that
the
judgements
of
God
are
commonly
conditionall
,
as
God
himselfe
hath
At
what
time
I
shall
speake
concerning
a
nation
,
and
concerning
a
kingdome
,
to
plucke
up
,
to
pull
downe
,
and
destroy
it
;
if
that
nation
against
whom
I
have
pronounced
,
turne
from
their
evill
,
I
will
repent
of
the
evill
which
I
thought
to
doe
unto
them
[
h
](A04160-e11040-b)
h
Ierem.
18.
7
,
8.
.
And
in
threatnings
,
sometimes
the
condition
is
expressed
,
as
divers
times
God
threatneth
his
people
thus
;
If
ye
walke
contrary
to
me
,
and
will
not
hearken
unto
me
,
I
will
punish
you
seven
times
more
[
i
](A04160-e11060-b)
i
Levit.
26.
18
,
21
,
24.
.
Sometimes
the
condition
is
not
expressed
,
but
necessarily
understood
,
as
when
Ionah
threatned
Ninivie
,
Yet
fortie
dayes
,
and
Ninivie
shall
be
destroyed
[
k
](A04160-e11090-b)
k
Ionah
.
3.
4.
;
the
fortie
dayes
came
,
and
Ninivie
was
not
destroyed
,
God
changed
his
revealed
will
,
because
the
concealed
condition
was
kept
,
for
Ninivie
repented
,
and
therefore
must
not
be
destroyed
.
Yea
the
same
judgement
which
at
the
first
threatning
may
be
conditionall
,
yet
afterwards
may
become
absolute
,
and
unavoidable
;
as
the
destruction
of
Sodome
was
at
the
first
conditionally
threatned
,
and
therefore
Abraham
so
farre
prevailed
with
God
,
that
if
there
were
but
ten
righteous
persons
found
in
it
,
he
would
spare
them
for
those
tens
sake
[
l
](A04160-e11140-b)
l
Gen.
18.
penult.
;
but
that
condition
failing
,
it
was
in
the
next
place
absolutely
threatned
,
the
Angels
said
to
Lot
;
The
Lord
hath
sent
us
to
destroy
this
City
,
and
we
will
destroy
it
[
m
](A04160-e11160-b)
m
Gen.
19.
13.
.
It
might
be
the
case
of
this
people
:
if
when
Gods
servants
Ieremy
:
The
Land
shall
be
desolate
,
the
earth
shall
mourne
,
and
the
heavens
above
be
blacke
;
I
have
spoken
it
,
I
have
purposed
it
,
and
will
not
repent
,
neither
will
I
turne
backe
from
it
[
n
](A04160-e11190-b)
n
Ierem.

28.
.
Yea
to
make
it
(
if
it
were
possible
)
more
sure
,
he
told
him
,
He
had
sworne
by
himselfe
,
that
house
(
wherein
they
so
trusted
)
should
become
a
desolation
[
o
](A04160-e11210-b)
o

.
And
to
adde
yet
more
waight
thereunto
,
expresly
forbiddeth
the
Prophet
to
pray
,
cry
,
or
make
intercession
to
him
in
behalfe
of
the
people
in
this
kinde
,
assuring
him
,
if
he
should
he
would
not
heare

,
or
grant
his
request
.
The
sense
being
given
,
and
that
which
might
be
said
against
it
,
prevented
,
now
I
raise
your
fourth

That

This

a
Doctrine
which
doth
so
exceedingly
concerne
us
,
even
as
much
as
all
our
lives
,
and
livelihood
,

and

not
sleightly
to
be
regarded
,
but
in
the
holy
feare
of
God
,
to
be
advisedly
considered
of
,
and
taken
to
heart
.
In
the
handling
whereof
,
I
purpose
to
spend
all
my
labours
here
and
elsewhere
this
day
.
For
method
and
order
wherein
,
and
First
,
take
knowledge
,
that
the
Scriptures
are
Because
I
have
called
,
and
yee
have
refused
,
I
have
stretched
out
mine
hand
and
no
man
regarded
,
but
yee
have
set
at
nought
all
my
counsell
,
and
would
none
of
my
reproofe
,
I
will
laugh
at
your
calamity
,
and
mocke
when
your
feare
commeth
:
when
your
feare
commeth
as
desolation
,
and
your
destruction
commeth
as
a
whirlwinde
.
Then
they
shall
call
upon
me
,
but
I
will
not
answer
;
they
shall
seeke
me
earely
,
but
they
shall
not
finde

Lo
,
how
the
sinnes
of
a
people
may
come
to
that
height
,
that
in
their
greatest
calamity
and
destruction
,
and
when
they
cry
most
fervently
,
and
seeke
God
earely
;
yet
God
will
be
so
farre
from
hearing
and
answering
of
them
,
that
he
will
laugh
and
mocke
them
.
And
againe
,
When
yee
spread
forth
your
hands
,
I
will
hide
mine
eies
from
you
;
yea
when
yee
make
many
praiers
,
I
will
not
heare

And
againe
,
by
our
Prophet
he
saith
;
When
they
fast
,
I
will
not
heare
their
cry
,
but
I
will
consume
them
,
by
the
sword

And
againe

I
will
bring
evill
upon
them
,
which
they
shall
not
be
able
to
escape
;
and
though
they
shall
cry

See
what
persons
God
hath
picked
out
of
all
the
bunch
,
of
the
Patriarches
,
Prophets
,
Judges
,
and
Kings
.
Who
ever
prevailed
more
by
praier
with
God
for
others
,
than
Moses
and
Samuel
?
When
the
people
had
committed
that
foule
Idolatry
,
in
worshipping
the
golden
Calfe
,
God
said
,
He
would
destroy

not

gap

:
But
Moses
he
besought
the
Lord
,
and
prevailed
.
The
Lord
repented
of
the
evill
,
and
did
it
not

And
when
the
Philistims
came
up
against
Israel
,
and
they
were
exceedingly
afraid
,
Samuel
,
Oh
faithfull
Samuel
the
Lords
Priest
,
cried
unto
the
Lord
for
Israel
,
and
the
Lord
heard
him
,
and
thundred
with

discomfited

But
if
Moses
,
and
Samuel
,
did
now
stand
before
the
Lord
,
his
minde
cannot
be
won
towards
this
people
,
but
they
shall
goe
into
captivity
.
And
againe
,
by
another
Prophet
he
saith
;
Sonne
of
man
,
when
the
Land
sinneth
against
me
,
by
trespassing
grievously
,
and
I
stretch
out
mine
hand
and
breake
the
staffe
of
bread
,
and
send
a
famine
,
and
cut
off
man
and
beast
;
though
these
three
men
were
in
it
,
Noah
,
Iob
,
and
Daniel
,
they
should
deliver
but
their
owne
soules
by
their
righteousnesse
.
Or
if
I
bring
noisome
beasts
,
or
bring
a
sword
,
or
a
pestilence
,
to
cut
off
man
and
beast
,
as
I
live
,
saith
the
Lord
,
though
these
three
men
were
in
it
,
Noah
,
Daniel
,
and
Iob
,
yet
should
they
deliver
neither
sonne
nor
daughter
,
they
should
only
deliver
their
owne
soules
,
but
the
Land
shall
be
desolate

Oh
see
againe
,
what
three
Worthies
he
doth
instance
in
?
Noah
,
that
upright
man
in
the
old
World
,
when
all
flesh
had
corrupted
their
waies
;
Iob
,
that
upright
man
,
and
fearing
God
in
the
Land
of
Vz
;
and
Daniel
,
that
man
of
Gods
desire
,
in
Babylon
.
Three
men
,
who
could
doe
much
with
God
,
for
whom
God
did
much
;
yet
if
they
had
praied
for
this
people
,
God
would
not
heare
them
,
they
should
not
be
able
to
deliver
sonne
nor
daughter
,
but
only
their
owne
soules
.
And
as
such
may
be
the
sinnes
of
a
nation
or
God
spake
mouth
to
mouth
,
as
a
man
talketh
familiarly
with
his
friend

who
obtained
by
his
praier
so
many
and
great
things
at
the
hands
of
God
for
others
;
so
apparently
honoured
and
graced
of
God
,
that
the
Lord
asked
Aaron
and
Miriam
.
,
Wherefore
were
ye
not
afraid
to
speake
against
my
servant
Moses

Yet
this
great
and
good
man
,
for
not
sanctifying
God
at
the
waters
of
strife
,
yea
for
once
speaking
unadvisedly
with
his
lips
,
and
thereunto
much
provoked
by
that
rebellious
people

An
heavie
judgement

And
though
Moses
made
it
his
earnest
suit
unto
God
;
O
Lord
God
,
thou
hast
begun
to
shew
to
thy
servant
great
kindnesse

goe

he
did
much
to

(

the
Lord
strake
the
childe
,
that
it
was

though
David
besought
the
Lord
for
the
childe
,
and
fasted
,
and
went
in
,
and
lay
all

upon

God
would
not
heare

but
on
the
seventh
day
the
childe
died
,
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord
by
his
Prophet
Nathan
;
Because
by
this
deed
,
thou
hast
given
great
occasion
to
the
enemies
of

to
blaspheme

the
childe

shall

And
againe
,
for
his
great
sinne
of
numbring
the
people
,
the
Lord
sent
him
a
message
by
his
Prophet
Gad
,
that
he
would
send
either
pestilence
,
famine
,
or
sword
:
and
though
David
repented
,
and
complained
that
he
was
in
a
great
strait
,
yet
he
could
not
obtaine
freedome
,
but
(
according
to
his
choice
)
God
sent
a
pestilence
,
whereof
in

there
died
seventie

Let
all
men
and
women
then
subscribe
to
this
undoubted
truth
of
God
,
that
such
may
be
the
sinnes
of
Gods
Church
in
generall
,
or
of
his
owne
deare
servants
in

,
that
God
will
not
heare
themselves
,
nor
others
for
them
,
but
will
bring
such
a
temporall
punishment
as
he
hath
purposed
upon

But

and
if
the
Lord
will
not
heare
thee
for
them
,
yet
thou
shalt
save
thine
owne
soule
:
The
Lord
is
not
more
marvellous
in
any
thing
,
than
in
preserving
his
,
in
some
generall
judgement
and
calamitie
,
that
have
mourned

sought

execution

if

land
flowing
with

he
shall
be
translated

which

Let

fast

and
if

childe
die

God
will
give
him

Let

for

Now
let
us
proceed
to
consider
the
reasons
wherefore
the
Lord
sometimes
will
not
be
intreated
,
but
will
bring
some
temporall
judgement
upon
his
Church
and
people
:
and
they
are
principally
these
.
First
,
to
declare
the
justice
of
God
:
for
if
God
And
verily
(
if
we
had
grace
)
the
remembrance
How
shall
I
commit
this
great
sinne
against
God
[
p
](A04160-e12200-b)
p
Gen.

?
It
may
be
,
this
sinne
will
adde
so
much
to
the
measure
of
my
former
sinnes
,
that
God
will
not
be
intreated
to
pardon
it
,
but
bring
some
heavie
temporall
judgement
upon
me
.
Would
not
God
heare
his
Prophet
Ieremie
,
no
nor
Moses
,
and
Samuel
,
Noah
,
Iob
,
and
Daniel
,
though
praying
for
his
owne
people
,
but
cast
them
off
,
a
prey
to
the
pestilence
,
famine
,
and
sword
?
Yea
would
not
God
heare
his
deare
servants
,
Moses
and
David
,
praying
for
themselves
;
but
even
for
small
sinnes
(
in
comparison
)
brought
heavie
temporall
calamities
and
chastisements
upon
them
?
Oh
what
am
I
,
a
worme
of
the
earth
,
that
I
should
commit
such
and
such
sinnes
,
and
presume
of
impunitie

O

he
altered
the
sentence
;
yet
sometimes
he
would
not

executed
judgements

he

Iehu
observed

when

the
King
of

he
said
to

Take

cast
him

;
for
remember
how
that
when
thou
and
I
rode
together
after
Ahab
his
father
,
the
Lord
laid
this
burden
upon
him
.
And
againe
,
being
told
that
the
dogs
had
eaten
Iezabel
,
he
said
,
This
is
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
which
he
spake
by
his
servant
Elijah
the
Tishbite
,
saying
,
In

that
so
they
might
prevent

(
as

those
wicked

were
angry
,
and
assured
the

,
they
did

terrifie
and
discourage
them
,
without

all
was

command

brake

&

From

,

was
given
to

the

did
exceedingly
further
it
,

increase

in

they
approved

liked

said

and
horrible

is
committed

Now
,
such
as
in

would
not
trouble
them
,
by
telling
them
of

sinnes
,

threatning
of

preach

Now
before
the
captivity
,
they
heaped
all
manner
of
discontents
,
discouragements
,
and
disgrace
,
upon
them
:
they
would
not

did

reproch

for

threatned

to

he
should

delivered

They
grievously
slandered

accused

as
a
man
that
discouraged
the
people
by
his
preaching
,
and
weakned
the
hands
of
the
men
of

,
and
sought
not
the
wealth
of

people
,
but
their
hurt
;
and
therefore
the
Princes
besought

King
to
put
him
to
death
[

:
his
enemies
conspired

;
and

watched
for

halting
[

](A04160-e13280-b)
h

20.

;
yea
they
did
sinite
and
imprison
him
both
[
i

,
and
much
endanger
his
life
with
the
filth
of

;
for

did
sticke
fast
in
the
mire
[
k
](A04160-e13300-b)
k

38.

;
which
made
him
so
bitterly
to
complaine
:
Woe
is
me
,
my
mother
,
that
thou
hast
borne
me
a
man
of
strise
,
and
a
man
of
contention
,
to
the
whole

:
I
have
neither
lent
nor

every

of

doth
curse
me
[

](A04160-e13320-b)

15.

Yea
,
he
was
so
discouraged
,
that
he
meant
verily
to
have
given
up
his
calling
,
and
to
have
preached
no
more
unto
them
;
and
certainly
this
he
had
done
,
but
that
the
word
and
Spirit
of
God
were
in
his
heart
,
as
fire
shut
up
in
his
bones
,
which
made
him
weary
of

,
and
he
could
not
stay

.
Thus
have
you
seene
the
great
corruption
that
was
in
the
Priests
and
Prophets
generally
,
both
in
regard
of
their
Ministery
,
and
conversation
;
and
how
the
people
behaved
themselves
,
both
towards
the
good
and
bad
.
Now
let
us
see
what
was
the
generall
condition
,
and
the
sinnes
of
the
people
.
As
,
to
beginne
with
such
as
were
greatest
:
First
,
they
were
ignorant
of
God
,
as
he
complaineth
:
My
people
is
foolish
,
they
have
not
knowne
me
;
they
are
sottish
children
,
and
have
no
understanding
;
they
are
wise
to
doe
evill
,
but
to
doe
good
,
they
have
not
knowledge
[
n
](A04160-e13370-b)
n
Ierem.
4.
22.
:
yea
they
were
more
blockish
and
senslesse
,
than
the
bruit
creatures
:
For
the
Storke
of
heaven
knoweth
her
appointed
times
;
the
Turtle
,
Crane
,
and
Swallow
,
observe
the
time
of
their
comming
,
but
my
people
know
not
the
iudgement
of
the
Lord
[
o
](A04160-e13390-b)
o
Ierem.
8.
7.
.
Secondly
,
Atheisme
;
they
professed
,
The
Lord
hath
forsaken
the
earth
,
he
seeth
not
[
p
](A04160-e13440-b)
p
Ezech.
9.
9.
.
Neither
was
this
the
sinne
of
the
common
people
onely
,
but
the
Princes
,
like
Atheists
,
devised
mischiefe
,
gave
evill
counsell
,
mocked
the
threatning
of
the
Prophet
,
and
said
,
Iudgement
was
not
neere
,
they
might
build
houses
[
q
](A04160-e13460-b)
q
Ezech.
11.
2.
.
Yea
King
Iehoiakim
himselfe
,
like
an
Arch-Atheist
,
having
heard
some
of
Ieremies
Prophesie
read
unto
him
,
he
cut
the
roule
in
peeces
,
with
a
pen-knife
,
and
cast
it
into
the
fire
,
and
consumed
it
[
r
](A04160-e13500-b)
r
Ierem.
36.
23.
.
Thirdly
,
foule
and
grosse
Idolatry
;
both
private
,
in
the
houses
of
their
imagery
,
in
the
darke
;
God
let
his
Prophet
,
through
an
hole
in
the
wall
,
see
seventy
of
the
Ancients
worshipping
Idols

;
and
also
publike
,
On
every

,
and
under
every
greene

to
a

these

reigned

which
God
sent
his

all
in

they
did
trust
,
because
they
had
the

no

happen
unto

answered

the

assured
the

,
he
would
cast

out

they
should
goe

he
would

as
if
they
had
beene
sent

had
prophesied

therefore
their

are
ours
,
either
to
admonish
us

and
turne
us
away
from
all
our

to
prevent

to
make

thereby
declaring
to
all
the
world
,
how
unwilling
he
is
to
enter
into
judgement
with
us
,
of
all
other
people
,
though
wee
have
provoked
him
,
above
all
people
professing
his
holy
and
heavenly
truth
:
and
to
this
end
,
whereas
his
hand
is
so
heavie
on
our
neighbours
,
he
sendeth
us
his
Ministers
unto
you
;
as
on
the
one
side
,
both
to
set
your
sinnes
before
your
faces
,
whereby
you
anger
him
,
and
the
meanes
how
to
pacifie
and
appease
him
,
that
he
may
perpetually
continue
a
good
God
to
you
and
yours
;
so
on
the
other
side
,
to
threaten
you
,
that
he
will
make
you
a
spectacle
of
wrath
and
misery
to
all
people
,
(
as
he
made

without
speedy

Yea

are

are

Is

not

in

more
reprochfull

than
to

to
scorne

jest
at

make

Yea
,
that
which
is
worse
than
all

are
not
the
Ieremies

,
sent
unto

,
hated
,
mocked

scorned

derided
,
and
even
loaded
with
malicious
slanders
,
as
the
vilest
men
on

,
and
not
worthy
to
live
?
Who
so
blinde
as
seeth
not
these
things
?
and
But
I
foresee
,
many
objections
will
be
made
against
this
conclusion
.
As
first
,
some
(
like
the
[
y
](A04160-e14860-b)
y
Luk.
18.
11.
)
may
say
,
I
thanke
God
,
I
am
not
an
Atheist
,
Idolater
,
blasphemer
,
murtherer
,
adulterer
,
nor
such
a
sinner
as
you
have
named
,
and
reproved
,
out
of
the
Prophet
;
therefore
I
need
not
so
take
things
to
heart
,
and
humble
my selfe
;
I
shall
escape
well
enough
.
I
answer
,
though
thou
wertest
as
just
,
and
Noah
,
Iob
,
or
Daniel
;
yet
thou
knowest
these
sinnes
doe
every
where
reigne
,
and
abound
,
and
thou
maist
be
wrapped
in
a
generall
judgement
.
The
Scriptures
afford
us
memorable
examples
,
of
great
and
generall
judgements
,
procured
by
the
sinnes
of
some
few
;
and
indeed
,
all
make
but
one
body
;
quilibet
homo
est
pars
communitatis
;
and
the
sinnes
of
the
wicked
,
are
in
some
sort
the
sins
of
all
them
,
where
they
dwell
;
but
specially
their
open
and
knowen
abominations
.
If
thou
seest
an
Atheist
,
Idolater
,
a
murtherer
,
a
drunkard
,
and
dost
not
to
the
uttermost
of
thy
power
,
seeke
to
stop
and
reforme
the
same
;
or
if
that
way
thou
canst
doe
but
little
,
yet
if
thou
dost
not
mourne
in
thy
soule
,
to
see
Religion
thereby
disgraced
,
God
dishonoured
,
and
his
anger
kindled
,
and
dost
not
pray
to
God
for
pardon
;
how
just
soever
thou
art
in
thine
owne
person
,
yet
those
sinnes
are
in
some
sort
thine
,
and
the
judgements
temporall
may
wrap
thee
in
them
.
Let
it
never
be
forgotten
,
that
when
Achan
had
Oh
Lord
God
,
what
shall
I
say
,
when
Israel
turneth
their
backs
,
before
their
enemies
?
God
answered
,
Israel
hath
sinned
,
and
they
have
also
transgressed
my
covenant
;
they
have
taken
of
the
accursed
thing
,
and
have
stollen
and
dissembled
,
and
have
put
it
even
amongst

See
how
God
challengeth
,
and
punisheth
all
Israel
for
Achans
sinne
:
and
at
his
execution
,
Ioshuah
asked
him
,
Why
hast
thou
troubled
us
?
Oh
Lord
!
if
this
were
remembred
and
beleeved
,
it
would
justly
cause
a
great
deale
of

,
to

of
such
a

If
his

observe
not

second
is

did
not

cut
downe

because

are

now
