Chambers who died in despaire saying he was damned Yet saith that judicious Divine it is not for any to note him with the black marke of a Reprobate for one thing saith he hee spake in extremity which must move all men to conceive well of him which was O that I had but one drop of Faith for by this it seemes be had a heart to repent and believe and therefore a penitent and believing heart indeed so far he and which may be an instance of much more moment to fence our hearts against finall despaire and to suspend our censures of others salvation when they seem as lost and forsaken by their heavenly Father We have it upon Evangelicall record that our Saviour on the Crosse cryed O God my God why hast thou forsaken me Mat. 27.46 Such words he uttered as man when as God as agood * Habes in conquerente reliclum se esse quia homo est habes eundem profitentem Latroni in Paradiso regnaturum quia Deus est Hilar.

Paul's practice for his patterne which was so to exercise himselfe as to have alwayes a conscience void of offence towards God and man Act. 24.16 And such a life as † Non potest male mori quibene vixerit audeo dicere non potest malè mori qui bone vixerit Aug. inoperib Tom. 9. de disciplin cap. 2.
