A
SERMON
on
Luke
19.41
.
And
when
he
was
come
near
,
he
beheld
the
City
,
and
wept
over
it
.

Saying
,
If
thou
hadst
known
,
even
thou
,
at
least
in
this
thy
day
,
the
things
which
belong
unto
thy
Peace
!
but
now
they
are
hid
from
thine
eyes
.
Isa.
1.3
.
The
Ox
knoweth
his
owner
,
and
the
Ass
his
Masters
Crib
:
But
Israel
doth
not
know
,
my
people
doeth
not
consider
.
I
intend
not
to
be
tedious
in
Introduction
.
Explication
,
or
Division
of
the
Words
nor
curious
in
Method
,
but
to
offer
a
few
plain
Truths
;
Both
the
Prophet
and
our
Saviour
speaks
to
the
Rulers
,
and
the
people
ruled
,
Isatah
:
9
,
16.
The
Leaders
of
this
people
cause
them
to
err
,
and
they
that
are
led
of
them
are
destroyed
,
and
our
Saviour
says
Matth.
15
,
14.
The
blind
are
Leaders
of
the
blind
,
and
both
shall
fall
into
the
Ditch
.
The
Prophet
Iasiah
:
in
verse
2d
directs
his
Speech
to
the
senselcis
Creatures
,
(
hear
O
Heavens
,
and
give
car
O
Earth
,
The
more
to
awaken
and
affect
the
Isrelites
,
his
covenanted
and
professed
people
,
he
challenges
them
as
below
the
dullness
of
Bruites
,
that
acknowledge
and
obey
their
Owners
who
provides
them
,
and
in
their
Way
shews
respect
to
their
masters
but
my
people
Israel
are
more
stupid
than
bruites
;
they
do
not
own
nor
acknowledge
me
.
There
is
a
sort
of
people
in
this
Generation
,
called
Deists
,
but
I
call
them
Aitheists
,
who
arrogat
the
name
of
Witt
's
they
cry
down
revealed
Religion
,
despise
their
Souls
,
refuse
Instruction
,
reject
a
Saviour
,
and
deny
future
Rewards
and
Punishments
,
They
live
like
Beasts
,
and
are
worse
than
Beasts
,
they
do
not
own
and
reverence
their
Master
;
And
I
may
say
are
worse
then
Devils
,
Jam
:
2
,
19.
They
believe
and
tremble
;
It
may
be
many
here
never
beleived
,
never
trembled
.
In
that
Text
of
Luke
,
our
Lord
foreseeing
the
woful
day
of
Desolation
coming
upen
Jerusalem
:
was
affectionatly
concerned
with
their
deplorable
condition
,
and
wept
over
them
.
And
breaks
out
in
this
abrupt
and
emphatick
Speech
,
If
thou
even
thou
hadest
known
,
or
O
that
thou
hadst
known
,
or
happy
had
thou
been
if
thou
hadest
known
in
this
thy
day
,
Id
est
that
is
the
time
of
his
preaching
to
them
which
they
slighted
;
they
shut
their
eyes
,
and
God
Judicially
plagued
them
with
blindness
.
To
know
fignifies
here
,
to
acknowledge
,
bend
the
Mind
,
lay
to
heart
,
and
improve
for
practice
.
By
things
belonging
to
their
peace
is
understood
,
things
that
belong
both
to
their
hapiness
inward
and
outward
Their
peace
with
God
,
peace
in
their
Consciences
,
and
peace
with
the
Creatures
There
be
five
things
in
thir
words
.
1
That
there
are
some
things
that
belong
to
a
peoples
peace
,
in
all
these
respects
.
2dly
That
we
are
bound
to
study
a
heart
affecting
knowledge
of
these
things
.
3dly
That
the
present
time
and
day
would
be
thus
improven
.
4tly
The
advantage
that
redounds
to
these
that
thus
improve
time
.
It
would
prevent
Misery
.
It
is
implyed
that
people
smart
for
neglect
of
time
.
5tly
.
Slighting
time
,
lossing
the
season

may
never
be
recovered
again
.
Doctrine
.
The
point
I
offer
is
this
,
That
it
is
the
Interest
of
all
who
would
be
approven
of
God
and
their
own
Consciences
;
and
escape
a
challenge
and
Ruine
,
to
know
and
take
to
heart
the
things
that
belong
to
their
peace
,
to
their
Souls
peace
,
the
peace
of
the
Church
and
Land
.
I
will
not
insist
to
prove
so
evident
a
point
.
I
shall
first
speake
a
Word
of
Gods
Peace
,
which
is
the
Spring
of
all
other
true
Peace
.
2dly
Of
these
thing
to
be
known
,
that
belongs
to
the
Souls

the
peace
of
a
Church
and
Land
.
For
the
Peace
of
God
I
give
these
6
Things

His

people

of

2ly
I

What
belongs

the
Peace

For
if

knowledge
of
,
in
order
to
your
Peace
.
I
offer
you
Ten
Heads
here
.
You
must
know
God
.
1.
That
he
is
,
Heb.
11.6
.
He
that
comes
to
God
must
believe
that
he
is
;
This
is
the
Fountain
of
all
true
Knowledge
,
and
the
Spring
of
all
true
Peace
and
Comfort
.
2ly
.
That
we
must
know
what
He
is
,
what
is
His
Name
,
what
the
the
Word
declares
Him
to
be
,
Moses
says
,
Exod.
33.18
.
I
beseech
thee
shew
me
thy
Glory
And
the
Lord
proclaims
His
Name
,
Exod.
34.6
,
7.
The
LORD
,
the
LORD
GOD
,
merciful
and
gracious
,
long
suffering
,
and
aboundant
in
goodness
and
Truth
.
Keeping
Mercy
for
thousands
,
forgiving
Iniquity
,
Transgression
and
Sin
,
and
that
will
by
no
means
clear
the
guilty
.
O
what
advantage
redounds
from
this
,
it
relates
to
our
Peace
,
and
the
right
ordering
of
our
Spirits
,
And
making
the
Stream
of
our
Affections
run
in
the
right
Channel
;
To
know
Him
in
His
Infinite
Excellent
and
Glorious
Perfections
,
They
that
know
His
Name
faithful
and
true
,
will
put
their
Trust
in
Him
,
Psal.
9.10
.
If
we
knew
Him
in
His
Holiness
,
Power
,
Justice
,
and
Love
,
then
should
we
readily
Fear
,
Love
,
and
Obey
Him
;
If
we
knew
Him
in
His
Goodness
and
Mercy
,
it
would
draw
out
our
desires
and
delight
after
him
,
If
we
knew
Him
in
His
Soveraignity
,
then
should
we
acquiesce
in
all
his
disposings
of
our
lote
:
If
we
knew
Him
in
His
Omnisciency
,
that
would
keep
our
Hearts
in
aw
:
All
these
relate
to
our
Peace
.
2d
.
Head
,
We
must
study
to
know
Christ
,
if
we
regaird
our
Peace
;
And
first
in
the
Statelyness
of
His
Person
,
Heb.
1.3
.
who
is
the
brightness
of
the
Fathers
Glory
,
the
express
Image
of
his
Person
,
This
is
a
sweet
consideration
,
that
we
have
such
a
Noble
Redeemer
.
2.
It
relates
to
our
Peace
to
know
him
in
his
Natures
,
God
,
Man
,
a
meek
Mediator
to
deal
between
God
and
Man
.
To
know
Him
in
His
Human
Nature
,
Flesh
of
our
Flesh
and
Bone
of
our
Bone
,
our
God
who
has
right
to
redeem
,
and
has
payed
our
Debt
in
our
Nature
,
he
has
dignified
our
Nature
,
in
assuming
our
Nature
to
a
personal
Union
,
with
his
God-head
,
he
will
never
lay
it
down
again
Heb.
7.24
.
This
Man
continueth
ever
.
Then
we
must
know
him
in
his
Divine
Nature

an

value
to
his
sufferings
by
vertue
of
his
Godhead
he
rose
from
the
deed
Rom
:

3.
We
must
know
him
in
his
name
,
which
is
as
an
oyntment

The

Jesus

sweeter
than
another
Lord
of

Rev.
17.14
.
This
is
a
Quieting
consideration
,
when
we
have
many
Lords
who
would
impose
on
our
Consciences
,
we
have
one
Lord
and
Law-giver
James
4.12

No
Law
can
bind

what
is
consonant

,
thou
shalt
call
his
name
Jesus
said

for
he
shall
save

it

4ly
We
must
know
him
in

As
the
Anointed
Well

We
need
not
scar
:
to
learn
of
him
,
he
has
all
the
Treasures
of
wisdom
and
knowledge
,
Colos

He
has
the
tongue
of
the
Learned
,
to
speak
a
word
in

to
a
weary
Soul

he
leads
the

by
a
way
they
know
not
,
Makes

he
has
a

he
is
the
Master
of
Assemblies
that
fastens
the
nail
in
a
sure
place
Eccie
;
12.11
.
Then
secondly
We
must
know
him
in
his
Priestly
Office
1.
as
to
his
satisfaction
who
has
payed
a
competent
price
for
our
Ransom
1.
Timoth.
2.6
.
he
has
obtained
a
discharge
,
In
sign
and
token
whereof
it
is
said
Rom.

.
he
dyed
,
for
our
sins
to
pay
our
debt
and
rose
for
our
Righteousness
.
to
prove
the
payment
was
accepted
and
accompts
cleared
else
he
had
not
got
out
of

thus

Righteousness
is
declared
,
that
he
is
just
to
justifie
them
that
believe
in
Jesus
,

.
having
gotten
payment
of
the
Cautioner
,
he
will
note
rave
it
overagain
at
the
Beleivers
hands
.
O
What
a
cordial
is
this
,
to
these
weighted
with
the
sense
of
guilt
.
Then
as
to
his
Intercession
,
we
have
a
freind
in
Heaven
before
us
who
is
called
the
Angel
,
haveing
a
Golden
Censure
with
much
incense
that
he
should
offer
it
with
the
Prayers
of
all
Saints
upon
the
Golden-Alter
which
is
befor
the
Throne
Revel.
8.3
.
He
Compears
befor
God
for
us
,
when
Law
,
Satan
,
and
Conscience
,
accuse
,
he
rises
up
and
appears
for
the
poor
Sinner
to
answear
what
can
be
charged
upon
him
.
Heb.
9.24
And
this
is
sweet
that
he
never
losed
a
cause
he
took
in
hand
John
11.42
,
The
Father
hears
him
always
he
was
never
denyed
a
sute
.
Then
we
should
know
him
in
his
Kingly
Office
a
Glorious
King
Psal
24.7
.
who
choises
the
Officers
of
his
own
house

.
-11
.
12
he
subdues
and
captivats
Souls
to
his
obedience
Cor.
2.10.4.5
.
he
rules
by
his
Word
and
Spirit
and
defends
by
his
power
,
and
can
dash
the
Pot-Shards
in
pieces
that
are
his
Enemies
,
Ps.
2.9
.
We
most
receive
whole
Christ
in
all
his
Offices
,
if
we
be
not
ruled
by
his
Law
,
we
cannot
be
saved
by
his
death
,
Some
will
not
have
this
Man
to
reign
over
them
.
Luke
.
19.14
.
5ly
we
must
know
him
in
his
Love
1st
in
the
freedom
of
it
.
We
have
nothing
to
engage
his
love
,
but
much
in
us
to
provock
his
Loathing
.
He
loved
Jacob
freely

2ly
.
The

of
this
Love
in
two
respects

in
respect
of
the
kind

and
loved

no
fallen
Angels

.
he
took
not
on
him
the
nature
of
Angels
,
their
execution
was
as
quick
as
their
fall
cast
out
of
favour
for
ever
.
2ly
.
in

wherein

yet
was

all
came

ordered

is

Cordial

the
knowledge
of
this
Covenant
should
have
upon
our
Heart
and
Life
,
not
to
make
us
loose
and
wanton
,
but
having
these
precious
promises
we
should
cleanse
our selves
from
all
filthiness
of
the
Flesh
and
Spirit
,
perfecting
holiness
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,

.
as
you
tender

Peace

hates
putting
away

brave

know
not

ye
have
taken
time

lasure

to
consider
and
put
this
great
matter

a
point

upon
reflection

own

the
offer
of

say
it

are

thought
upon

time

place
,
and
manner
of
their
Covenanting

would
all
without
delay

Commands
are

broad

every
breach

this

that

it
be
a
Sin

which
may
cost
your
Life

and
may
go
betwixt
you
and
your
part

I
regaird
iniquity
in

will
not
hear

sayeth
Christ

whosoever
breaks
one
of
these
least
Commandments
,
and
shall
teach
Men
so
,
he
shall
be
called
least
in
the
Kingdom

we

have
equal
respect
to
all
the
Commands

Psalm

Fifthly
,
we
should
know
the
Command
is
in
the
promise
,
there
are
many
severe
Commands
and
as
many
sweet
promises
,
O
how
much
tends
this
to
peace
;
sayeth
the
poor
Sinner
he
hath
Commanded
us
to
love
him
,
and
he
has
promised
to
Circumcise
my
Heart
to
love
him
Deut.
30.6
.
he
has
Commanded
me
to
fear
him
,
and
he
has
promised
to
put
his
fear
in
my
heart
;
That
I
may
not
depart
from
him
,
Jer.
32.40
.
he
has
Commanded
me
to
repent
mourn
and
obey

Pray

and
he
has
promised
his
Spirit
to
all
these
effects

.
he
has
Commanded
me
to
beleive
,
and
he
is
the
auther
and
finisher
of
that
Grace
:
So
we
must
look
from
the
Command
to
the
promise
and
turn
the
promise
to
a
Prayer
,
God
will
turn
it
to
a
performance

who
works
in

People

Therefore
Christ
rebuked

There
are
these
particular
duties
you
would

would

you
must

Lord
will
keep
his
mind
in
perfect
peace
whose
heart
is

,
because
he
trusts
in
him

Thirdly
,
we
should
be
in
the
excrcise
of
Love
to
God
,
and
Love
to

Sum
of

that

I
put
two
Questions
to
you

First
,
how
will
you
answer
for
this
,
that
ye
do
that
which
ye
condemn
others
,
and
Judge
the
Comitters
thereof
worthy
of
Death
.
And
enact
Laws
against
Sabbath-breaking
,
Swearing
,
Drunkeness
and
Uncleanness
:
you
mock
God
,
and
are
self
condemned
;

Thou
therefore
which
teachest
another
,
teachest
thou
not
thy self
,
thou
that
teachest
a
man
not
to
Steal
,
doest
thou
Steal
,
thou
that
sayest
a
Man
should
not
commit
Adultery
;
Dost
thou
commit
Adultery
.
Thou
that
abhorrest
Idols
;
dost
thou
commit
Saerilige
:
Secondly
,
how
will
any
answer
for
this
,
that
they
Glory
in
what
they
cannot
endure
,
the
name
of
drunkard
,
would
thou
be
called
by
that
name
,
or
the
Swearer
,
or
Whore-Monger
;
Would
ye
be
content
to
have
it
Written

or
here

Hearts

I

call
for
the
Ministers
,
they
hated

persecuted
before

and
cryed
out
of
their
Sins

tears

I
have
known
others
that
neither
they
nor
their
carnal
Friends
would
suffer
the
Faithful
to
come
near
them

but
the

sent
them
over

smooth
absolution

O
betray
not
your
own
Souls
,
nor
let
others
do
it
,
thuart
not
your
own
Consciences
to
please
Men

as
Pilate
who
found
no
fault
in

yet
over
the
Belly
of

to
scourge

Right
Honourable

There
has
not
been
a
Session
of

but
before
a
next
some
members
have
gone
off
the
Stage
,
and
some
of
the
most
Honourable
for
quality
and
best
for
piety
are
gone
within
these
few
Years
.
't
is
hard
to
know
who
goes
next

make
you
ready
,
I
must
tesl
you
a
wrong
Step
in
Death
can
never
be
mended
Eccles.

In
the
Place
where
the
Tree
falls
there
it
lies
;
What
ever
changes
may
be
in
a
Mans
life
,
after
Death
there
is
none
,
but

Now
there
be
several
things
we
should
know
and
consider
in
reference
to
the
peace
of
the
Church
and
Land
,
and
herein
both
Rulers
and
People
should
Act
their
part
.
First
,
we
should
have
our
hearts
,
affected
with
reflection
on
the
crying
Sins
of
the
Land
,
our
iniquity
like
the
Wind
;
has
taken
us
away

Chap.
1.2
.
The
Lord
hath
a
controversie
with
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Land
,
because
there
is
no
Truth
nor
Mercy
,
nor
Knowledge
of
God
,
in
the
Land
,
by
Swearing
and
Lying
,
and
Killing
and
Stealing
,
and
commiting
Adultry
;
they
break
out
,
and
Blood
,
toucheth
Blood
:
And
People
become
impudent
.
As
if
they
would
give
God
a
defiyance
,
they
commit
Abominations
and
are
not
ashamed
,
neither
do
they
blush
Jerem
8.12
.
They
dispise
a
saviour
in
Gospel
ordinances
.
Secondly
we
should
consider
,
that
there
is
a
dark
and
thick
Cloud
of
wrath
and
judgement
,
hanging
over
us
,
the
Lord
threatning
as
Liviticus

.
to
heat
the
Furnace
yet
Seven
times
more
,
have
we
not
had
sad
Stroaks
,
decay
of
Trade
,
Dearth
,
Famine
,
Mortality
of
Man
and
Beast
,
and
something
of
Fire
and
Sword
.
I
look
upon
all
these
as
the
begining
of
sorrows
if
matters
mend
not
amongst
us
;
Let
us
hearken
to
that
word

in

To
promote
the
true
Worship
of
God
and
abolish
false
Worship
,
Superstition
,
and
all
Monuments
of
Idolatry
,
there
are
some
in
Scotland
presume
upon
an
intollerable
Innovation
to
make
use
of
the
Service-Book
which
hath
no
edge
,
I
have
heard
some
of
the
hearers
of
it
say
it
would
be
long
before
the
hearing
of
it
would
make
a
sore
heart
for
Sin
,
This
Church
could
never
endure
it
,
nor
durst
Prelates
in
their
greatest
hight
Adventure
upon
it
:
It
is
known
how
much
of
it
is
copied
out
of
the
Popish
Breviary
;
I
will
not
comment
upon
the
Verdict
of
a
great
person
who
called
that
Service
an
ill
said
Mass
,
for
the
ridiculous
Absurdities
and
Falsities
of
it
1st
They
may
be
seen
at

in

.
There
would
be
a
speciall
Care
to
visite
,
and
settle
Seminaries
of
Learning
with
pious
and
learned
men
.
It
is
an
old
Trick
of
Rome
to
poyson
these
Fountains

6tly
.
Magistrates
would
have
a
special
care
to
preserve
the
true
Government
in
Christs
Church
by
Presbetry
,
which
differs
as
much
from
Prelacy
as
a
stone
Wall
doth
from
a
Mud-Wall
;
We
own
this
Government
to
be
of
Divine
Right
,
and
for
the
Churches
intrinsick
Power
and
Priviledges
we
hold
them
of
no
secular
power
,
but
of
Jesus
Christ
the
head
of
the
Church
,
and
owned
as
such
in
our
Confession
of
Faith
,
which
is
ratified
in
Parliament
;
This
Government
and
the
Power
thereof
depends
not
upon
the
Suffrages
of
Men
which
are
alterable
,
no
Mans
Will
being
a
Standard
in
this
Matter
;
It
would
import
Christ
an
imperfect
King
,
if
he
had
left
it
to
Mens
Arbitriment
to
come
and
go
upon

Moses
might
not
alter

pin
from
the
Patern

And
if
Moses
was
faithful
in
the
House
of
God
as
a
Servant
,
much
more
Christ
as
a
Son
,
whose
House
we
are
,
Heb.
3.6
.
Christ
will
not
deny
Caesar
his
due
;
nor
will
he
want
his
own
,
nor
be
pleased
with
the
pairing
of
the
Priveledges
of
his
Church
,
for
the
Liberty
and
Exercise
of
our
Government
,
we
have
reason
to
bless
the
Lord
for
the
Countenance
and
Encouragement
we
have
from
our
Gracious
,
Christian
,
and
Protestant
King
and
we
are
hopeful
he
will
not
impair
but
inlarge
the
same
.
It
is
true
the
Church
exercised
their
power
given
of
God
some
hundreds
of
years
before
there
was
a
Christian
Magistrate
to
own
her
,
which
power
as
far
as
we
could
reach
we
used
in
times
of
Persecution
,
and
Church-Officers
must
use
,
when
Magistrates
are
Enemies
,
but
blessed
be
God
we
are
not
under
that
Temptation
.
I
have
before
other
Sessions
of
Parliament
proven
our
Government
in
all
respects
founded
on
the
Word
of
God
,
and
most
answerable
to
the
Ends
of
an
established
Ministry
.
To
hold
out
the
wild
Boar
that
would
corrupt
both
Doctrine
and
Manners
,
and
guard
best
against
Vice
and
Error
,
and
keep
Ordinances
best
from
pollution
,
and
the
Church
from
Infection
,
and
we
may
venture
the
Tryal
as
the
Prophet
did
.
1
Kings
18.
When
the
people
halted
between
two
Opinions
,
doubting
whether
God
was
God
or
Baal
was
God
,
the
Prophet
ventured
the
Matter
upon
this
that
God
that
answers
by
fire
let
him
be
God
,
and
he
carryed
it
,
that
it
was
acknowledged
the
Lord
He
was
God
,
that
did
bear
Witness
by
fire
from
Hheven
,
and
Baal
was
found
to
be
but
a
dead
and
a
deaf
God
that
could
not
answer
the
Expectation
of
his
Worshipers
.
Now
if
the
Government
which
we
own
be
not
most
witnessed
to
from
Heaven
by
the
Spirit
in
his
Operations
of
Conviction
,
Conversion
and
Consolation
of
Souls
:
Let
God
and
the
World
judge
:
Had
we
not
been
perswaded
of
these
things
,
what
fools
had
we
been
to
have
suffered
one
year
,
let
be
so
many
Years
severity
on
that
Account
.
I
judge
few
in
Scotland
sober
judicious
and
Inegnuous
will
spond
their
breath
against
this
Interest
and
if
any
,
it
is
mostly
these
who
indulge
themselves
and
love
to
be
indulged
in
their
Lusts
,
and
loves
Elbow-Room
to
Sin
without
Control
.
Right
Honourable
and
well-beloved
ye
would
be
wise
to
your selves
to
befriend
the
Church
in
all
her
Concerns
,
for
the
Arks
sake

blessed
Obededom

should
endeavour
knowledge

Good
and

,
rightly
to
time
and
circumstantiat
Actions

There
be
Three
Reasons
why
Magistrates
should
labour
to
have
Understanding
,
1st
,
The
figure
they
bear
by
their
Office
imported
in
their
Styles
,
being
called
Gods
,
Saviours
,
Fathers
.
Eyes
,
Pillars
,
heads
of
the
Body
and
Overseers
.
2dly
.
God
severly
threatens
Magistrates
that
misbehave
,
as
being
neither
above
Instruction
nor
Correction
if
they
fail
.
Job

He
poures
Contempt
upon
Princes
and
weakens
the
Strength
of

Mighty
.
Psal

He
strikes
through
Kings
in
the
day
of
his
wrath
Psal.

12.
He
is
terrible
to
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
,
he
shall
cut
off
the
Spirits
of
Princes
.
3dly
Because
they
are
lyable
to
many
Difficultys
and
Dangers
,
great
is
their
Task
,
to
know
the
State
of
the
People
,
to
repress
the
Insolencies
of
the
proud
,
to
minister
Justice
to
all
.
I
would
warn
both
Magistrates
and
people
to
know
and
watch
against
these
evilly
which
threatens
both
Church
and
State
with
Judgements
,
as
namely
,
1st
When
Men
loath
not
their
own
hearts
for
unprofitableness
under
Ordinances
,
but
weary
of
them

.
When
Men
professing

fear

and
not
going
to

.
5tly
.
When
Christ
is
not
received
in
Ordinances
,
nor
the
Motions
of
his
Spirit
cherished
.
6tly
When
people
are
grossly
prophane
in
Talk
and
walk
,
and
come
to
that
hight
of
Sin
as
to
cast
off
all
reproof
,
all
Dread
and
Aw
of
God
.
7tly
Peoples
frequent
,
familiar
,
and
needless
haunting
with
persons
perverse
,
in
Principles
and
Practices
,
whereby
they
partake
of
their
Sins
,
receive
of
their
Plagues
,
and
get
a
Snare
to
their
Soul

I
would
add
a
few
things
people
should
know

Kings

.
God
would
have
the
Ruins
of
the
City
of
Jericho
,
to
remain
as
a
standing
Monument
of
his
Justice
,
that
who
builds
it
,
shall
lose
all
his
Children
in
the
work
,
the
first
born
in
the
beginning
,
others
in
the
progress
,
and
the
youngest
in
the
close
of
it
:
There
is
an
instance
of
Divine
predictions
and
comminations
fulfilled
:
Hiel
,
he
would
choise
this
place
for
his
bulding
,
not
so
much
for
his
own
advantage
as
out
of
contempt
of
the
true
God
and
of
his
threatning
,
which
he
designed
to
convince
of
falshood
by
his
own
experience
,
and
out
of
an
ambitious
desire
to
advance
his
own
reputation
and
interest
:
by
his
sad
experience
he
found
the
truth
of
Gods
Word
,
and
how
vain
it
was
to
contend
with
him
,
he
was
made
an
eye
witness
of
his
Childrens
untimely
death
,
as
some
observes
,
several
Hundereds
of
Years
after
the
threatning
I
warn
you
all
to
beware
of
harbouring
any
thoughts
of
Building
the
Jericho
of
abjured
Prelacie
,
which
Scotland
has
been
so
Solemnly
and
frequently
Covenanted
and
sworn
against
,
a
weed
that
never
agreed
with
this
soil
but
alwayes
nipt

tender
and
wholsome
plants
.
What
losses
,
affronts
,
and
smartings
of
Mind
have
many
,
had
and
some
of
no
mean
Account
endured
in
their
Persons
end
Posterities
who
were
abetters
of
that
Interest
,
I
forbear
to
speak
of
all
which
I
have
observed
near
these
Fourty
Years
,
I
well
remember
of
two
of
no
mean
Account
,
who
were
among
the
chief
Contrivers
of
introducing
Prelacy
,
and
both
of
them
in
their
dying
had
severe
smartings
and
horrour
of
Conscience
,
one
of
them
,
the
last
Sabbaths
of
his
life
would
suffer
none
of
his
old
Brethren
to
Preach
in
his
Pulpit
,
but
engaged
three
honest
men
,
who
had
some
connivance
for
the
time
to
Preach
in
his
Pulpite
,
and
took
the
last
of
the
three
engaged
,
that
whether
he
lived
or
died
,
he
should
Preach
the
third
Sabbath
,
there
are
living
Witnesses
of
this
at
this
day
,
This
Account
I
had
from
one
of
the
Ministers
,
a
near
Relation
of
his
own
,
to
whom
he
ackowledged
,
he
went
over
the
belly
of
his
Light
,
and
said
to
one
of
the
Contrivers
;
we
could
never
set
up
Prelacy
in
Scotland
unless
B.
Sanderson
should
write
a
Retraction
of
his
Book
De
Juramento
,
by
which
he
was
convinced
of
the
indispensible
obligation
and
binding
virtue
of
the
Oath
of
the
Covenant
,
the
Brother
he
then
spoke
to
laid
his
Head
to
the
wall
,
and
sat
silent
for
a
time
,
yet
both
of
them
thortured
their
Consciences
and
complyed
with
the
design
I
wish
all
may
beware
of
medling
with
that
which
has
given
a
Scad
,
and
brunt
others
,
as
by
Arrows
of
the
mighty
,
and
Coals
of
Juniper
,
I
would
advise
all
,
that
have
leasure
and
are
disposed
without
byass
and
prejudice
in
this
point
to
Read
and
peruse
what
it
written
by
the
R.
Principals
Rule
,
and
Forrester
,
and
Mr.
Jamieson
,
who
wrote
without
consert
,
and
hardly
knew
of
one
anothers
setting
about
the
work
,
to
Answer
that
great
Champion
for
Prelacy
Dr.
Monro
,
who
appeared
as
if
he
would
give
a
Defiance
to
the
Armies
of
Israel
,
but
they
have
turned
the
Enemy
in
the
Gate
,
and
made
him
return
ashamed
,
and
it
is
observable
,
that
Mr.
Jamieson

blind
Man
,
who
in

Worlds
account
might
be
thought
a
stripling
