norance, for
the
prophaneffe
of
the people
of
the Land,
even
now when
there
is
fifth
a
liberty
of
the
Jofpel
(for
never was
the
like)
yet
they
turne
away
from
it,and
judge
themfelves un-
%lorthy
of eternal
iife,&
even
do
fk
ight to the fpirit
ofgrace,

:Mark
how
P4u1 was
of
&ed
for his
Country
mens lake,
that
he
coil
i even
have
wiiht
himfelfe
to
have
been
cut
off from Jesus
Chrifi,
he
was fo
troubled
for
their
ig-
norance and
tejection
ofChrifi,
one
would
think
that
feeing
Cod
bath
fo
wonderful!),
wrought
to
bring
us
to the
enjoyment
of
the'liberty
of
the
that
this Mould be
a
time
that
-
generally peó
le
ihould
come
in
to
embrace
it. O but
we find
tt
otherwife, there
is
a
vild fpirit rifen
among men againti
the.
wayes
of
Uodlineiïe.
And
thenthi:cily,
Mourne we
that
there
are fuch diviflorts
now
among
us
; The Devil
fees
that
he
can't
get
many
to
that
prophanefie
ano
Popery
as
he
was
won:
to
doe,
and
therefore
now he comes
to
f,oyle
Religion
and
that
by divifions,yea
and
among
the
Godly,and
there
the policy of
Satan
is as
much
fen
as
in
any
thing yea
and
the
rather
let
us
take this
to heart,
when we confider
that
aloioff
every time man
meddle with
divifions, and cry
out
againfi
them, they
make
them
wider,
and many
they are affected
indeed
becaufe
of
the
divifions
that
are
in
the
Land
;
I
but
it
is becaufe
every
one
will
not
be
of
their
mind,
and
therefore they mourne,
but
it's
afelfifh
mour-
ning
for
the
moli
part
when
men
cry out
of
divifions,:
becaufe
they
may
carry
away
all
the efieem,
and
honour
and dignities,
and preferments
without
any
controule whatfoever,
therefore
they cry out of
divifions,
but
there
is
not
a
fpiritual mourning
of heart
for
the
fins
of
the
divifions
that are
among us.
And:
then Fifthly, O
mourne we for
the
abufe
of
our
liberty,
the
wantonnefs
that
is among
us
now;The
Lord grants
unto
us
times
of
liberty, more then ever
our
fore-fathers
had
or could
have
thought to
have
had,
and
now,
O Lord
what
an
abufe
of
this
liberty
is
there
!
How
do men
run
out to
all
kind
of
licen-
tioi-
fneffe
becaufe
of
liberty; out
of
that pleading
for
that true
liberty
of confcience
that
Chrifi
would have
us
to render
one
another
in
they
run
out to
all
kind
of
ltcentioufnefi'e,
Blafphe-
my,andyvickedneife whatfoever.
