Sam. 12.20 3. God inuites to his feast sinners of vilest sort such as are as miserable in soule as they be in body that by high waies and hedges Church porches or any meetings to make their aduantage shew and offer to pitie faces gnawen eyes noses and members eaten with rottennesse Whosoeuer accepteth truely his inuitation comes and eats of his prouision is allowed cleansed from all his sinne cloathed with righteousnesse as a robe and adorned with graces as with Iewels Esay 61.10 Luk. 15.21 Reuel 19.7 Come receiue Christ he shall cloath you and decke you vnto admiration Who is shee Cant. 6.9 that comes out of the wildernesse to ioyne her selfe to her welbeloued Cant. 8.5 Obiection III.

Cor. 13.

Men hauing written their couenants sett their seales to them and deliuered them they that deale with them vse to rest as secured conceiuing they deale with wise honest and able men God hath written his couenant set his seale to it and by a minister authorized by him set you as it were in possession If you reiect it not not onely spirituall things but the application of them is represented in the Sacraments you are sprinkled with Sacramentall water you haue giuen to you and receiue Sacramentall bread and wine which by Gods appointment haue Sacramentall vnion with and relation vnto the spirituall thing represented It is such an obligation to faith and consecration of a mans selfe to God that if a man excite not his faith and yeeld himselfe he shall account to God aboue others that neuer had these testimonies Ezech. 20.37 I will cause you to passe vnder the rod and bring you into the bond of the couenant Obiection IIII. God will not cleare the guilty nor acquite the wicked he ioynes perishing vnto impenitency how shall I beleeue his promise of mercy to my pardon that cannot cleare my conversion to my conscience None can enter into the kingdome of heauen but borne of the spirit liuing after the flesh I shall die I am commanded to let no man deceiue me with vaine words to secure me from such danger Answere These two questions are distinct must not be confounded what
