it_o shall_v be_v more_o easy_a for_o the_o land_n of_o catha●a_n at_o the_o last_o day_n then_o for_o they_o for_o in_o this_o discourse_n they_o may_v see_v first_o the_o sin_n of_o niniveh_n and_o in_o it_o their_o own_o sin_n 2_o again_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o send_v jonas_n unto_o the_o ninivite_n be_v heinous_a offender_n and_o thereby_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v also_o merciful_a unto_o themselves_o that_o he_o warn_v they_o of_o their_o fall_n by_o his_o preacher_n 3_o then_o the_o disobedience_n of_o jonas_n and_o his_o punishment_n child_n and_o thereby_o may_v they_o see_v a_o lively_a image_n of_o the_o fall_n of_o god_n child_n unto_o sin_n and_o god_n justice_n even_o upon_o his_o servant_n to_o the_o end_n to_o reclaim_v they_o and_o not_o to_o condemn_v they_o 4_o also_o they_o may_v see_v here_o the_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o jonas_n be_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o his_o delivery_n and_o thereby_o may_v they_o learn_v that_o god_n by_o punish_v his_o servant_n make_v they_o more_o strong_a and_o try_v their_o faith_n and_o when_o they_o cry_v unto_o he_o he_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o all_o their_o trouble_n 5_o and_o so_o again_o may_v they_o see_v how_o severe_o jonas_n preach_v unto_o the_o ninivite_n have_v no_o commission_n to_o entreat_v of_o god_n mercy_n unto_o they_o and_o yet_o that_o kind_n of_o preach_v wrought_v in_o they_o repentance_n be_v the_o very_a end_n why_o god_n send_v jonas_n unto_o they_o although_o jonas_n consider_v it_o not_o and_o also_o god_n mercy_n in_o pardon_v their_o sin_n and_o by_o this_o may_v they_o learn_v that_o though_o god_n speak_v angry_o unto_o we_o yet_o he_o never_o speak_v so_o but_o for_o our_o profit_n and_o will_v sure_o pardon_v our_o iniquity_n if_o we_o from_o the_o heart_n repent_v we_o of_o the_o same_o last_o they_o may_v see_v how_o jonas_n be_v once_o forgive_v yet_o eftsoon_o offend_v more_o grievous_o yea_o and_o murmur_v against_o god_n and_o yet_o god_n vanquish_v he_o with_o reason_n and_o of_o his_o great_a mercy_n forgive_v he_o also_o that_o his_o sin_n and_o by_o this_o may_v they_o learn_v how_o frail_a the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v if_o they_o be_v not_o still_o govern_v by_o god_n spirit_n and_o how_o merciful_a god_n be_v unto_o those_o that_o be_v he_o with_o many_o other_o thing_n most_o necessary_a for_o all_o man_n if_o they_o therefore_o neglect_v or_o contemn_v these_o thing_n let_v they_o know_v that_o they_o neglect_v the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o their_o salvation_n and_o so_o purchase_v to_o themselves_o eternal_a death_n the_o lord_n therefore_o for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n heal_v their_o blind_a eye_n and_o help_v their_o unbelief_n now_o right_o

even_o with_o a_o trouble_a mind_n come_v unto_o god_n with_o a_o desire_n to_o pray_v well_o and_o yet_o their_o prayer_n be_v not_o utter_o refuse_v although_o they_o be_v not_o allow_v nor_o yet_o

no_o work_n which_o be_v not_o infect_v with_o some_o spot_n except_o it_o be_v purify_v by_o free_a pardon_n purify_v and_o this_o be_v evident_a unto_o we_o in_o this_o prayer_n which_o be_v not_o so_o reject_v of_o god_n but_o it_o obtain_v the_o name_n of_o a_o prayer_n and_o yet_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o jonas_n be_v not_o so_o mind_v as_o he_o ought_v when_o he_o pray_v troublesomelie_o as_o it_o be_v chide_v &_o brawl_v with_o god_n and_o still_o retain_v some_o part_n of_o his_o former_a contumacy_n because_o he_o begin_v to_o like_o well_o of_o his_o run_v away_o from_o god_n and_o we_o have_v say_v that_o this_o be_v a_o manifest_a sign_n of_o rebellion_n when_o as_o shake_v off_o the_o the_o yoke_n he_o contemn_v the_o call_n of_o god_n it_o be_v necessary_a therefore_o that_o we_o acknowledge_v in_o this_o prayer_n of_o jonas_n some_o part_n of_o godliness_n and_o also_o many_o corruption_n this_o proceed_v from_o piety_n even_o that_o all_o this_o notwithstanding_o

pray_v for_o he_o have_v not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o have_v confess_v any_o more_o grievous_a fault_n if_o he_o have_v be_v guilty_a thereof_o for_o he_o will_v not_o extenuate_v or_o lessen_v his_o

some_o seed_n of_o godliness_n &_o obedience_n in_o his_o mind_n well_o jonas_n pray_v and_o hereby_o it_o follow_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o many_o prayer_n of_o holy_a man_n be_v

god_n therefore_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n go_v before_o repentance_n and_o conversion_n and_o this_o fear_n can_v not_o be_v without_o faith_n faith_n we_o see_v therefore_o first_o that_o here_o be_v no_o speak_v of_o outward_a work_n but_o of_o the_o renew_n or_o renovation_n of_o man_n but_o now_o if_o any_o man_n object_n that_o this_o let_v not_o but_o that_o good_a work_n may_v reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n and_o so_o obtain_v salvation_n for_o we_o i_o answer_v that_o here_o be_v no_o disputation_n about_o the_o cause_n of_o pardon_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n be_v please_v with_o the_o ninevite_n gratis_o even_o as_o he_o restore_v his_o favour_n unto_o we_o every_o day_n free_o jonas_n therefore_o mean_v not_o that_o these_o satisfaction_n prevail_v before_o god_n as_o though_o the_o ninevite_n have_v recompense_v their_o former_a sin_n no_o such_o thing_n do_v the_o word_n import_v but_o only_o by_o a_o consequent_a we_o must_v gather_v how_o the_o lord_n become_v again_o favourable_a unto_o we_o and_o how_o we_o obtain_v pardon_n with_o he_o but_o whether_o this_o be_v do_v by_o our_o merit_n and_o repentance_n or_o whether_o gratis_o the_o lord_n offer_v himself_o unto_o we_o see_v the_o whole_a scripture_n testify_v that_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o free_o &_o that_o by_o none_o other_o mean_v the_o lord_n can_v be_v propitious_a unto_o we_o then_o by_o not_o impute_v our_o sin_n unto_o we_o as_o touch_v this_o present_a place_n we_o must_v not_o very_o careful_o labour_n why_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o have_v see_v the_o work_n of_o the_o ninevite_n lest_o he_o shall_v destroy_v they_o for_o this_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o consequent_a for_o jonas_n here_o note_v not_o the_o cause_n but_o only_o show_v that_o god_n be_v pacify_v towards_o the_o ninevite_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o repent_v but_o we_o will_v speak_v yet_o more_o of_o this_o matter_n ❧_o the_o prayer_n grant_v oh_o almighty_a god_n see_v that_o we_o be_v fraught_v with_o so_o many_o vice_n and_o also_o see_v that_o daily_o so_o many_o sin_n yea_o heinous_a offence_n do_v burst_v out_o of_o we_o grant_v i_o say_v that_o we_o harden_v not_o our_o self_n at_o so_o many_o exhortation_n wherewith_o thou_o invite_v we_o unto_o thou_o but_o that_o with_o break_a &_o contrite_a heart_n we_o may_v be_v true_o humble_v as_o often_o as_o thou_o denounce_v thine_o ire_n unto_o we_o and_o may_v so_o settle_v ourselves_o before_o thy_o throne_n that_o we_o may_v prevent_v by_o thy_o sincere_a fear_n of_o piety_n and_o true_a

that_o true_a and_o sound_a affection_n of_o piety_n and_o repentance_n sith_o that_o this_o also_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o thy_o grace_n and_o favour_n that_o thou_o vouchsafe_v to_o prevent_v we_o and_o by_o thy_o spirit_n have_v testify_v that_o thou_o will_v be_v a_o father_n unto_o we_o final_o grant_v that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v cast_v down_o in_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v raise_v up_o in_o our_o hope_n unto_o the_o heaven_n through_o the_o same_o christ_n our_o lord_n amen_n caluin_n we_o tell_v yesterday_o how_o god_n release_v the_o ninevite_n of_o the_o punishment_n which_o he_o threaten_v they_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o jonas_n yea_o they_o have_v free_a remission_n and_o release_n of_o the_o sin_n as_o of_o the_o punishment_n as_o often_o as_o god_n set_v pardon_n before_o the_o eye_n of_o sinner_n this_o condition_n be_v add_v withal_o even_o that_o they_o do_v repent_v but_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o repentance_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o obtain_v forgiveness_n for_o gratis_o the_o lord_n offer_v himself_o neither_o be_v he_o otherwise_o induce_v thereto_o then_o by_o his_o mere_a liberality_n but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o have_v man_n abuse_v his_o mercy_n and_o favour_n he_o add_v that_o law_n or_o condition_n even_o that_o man_n repent_v they_o of_o their_o former_a life_n to_o change_v it_o into_o better_a so_o then_o he_o respect_v the_o work_n of_o these_o which_o confess_v that_o they_o detest_v their_o sin_n and_o with_o a_o true_a and_o sincere_a desire_n do_v fly_v for_o succour_v unto_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o no_o man_n also_o from_o the_o heart_n will_v covet_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v merciful_a unto_o he_o otherwise_o than_o he_o which_o be_v displease_v with_o himself_o for_o his_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n also_o why_o isaiah_n say_v 1._o that_o god_n will_v be_v merciful_a unto_o the_o remnant_a of_o his_o people_n even_o for_o that_o every_o man_n turn_v from_o his_o iniquity_n but_o god_n certain_o in_o these_o word_n mean_v not_o that_o repentance_n as_o i_o say_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o require_v repentance_n and_o newness_n of_o life_n because_o no_o man_n earnest_o desire_v grace_n &_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n but_o he_o which_o be_v displease_v with_o himself_o in_o his_o sin_n and_o now_o that_o jonas_n add_v that_o god_n be_v touch_v with_o repentance_n this_o manner_n of_o speak_v aught_o to_o be_v well_o know_v unto_o us._n sure_o if_o we_o will_v speak_v proper_o repent_v repentance_n be_v never_o find_v in_o god_n &_o again_o repentance_n be_v never_o refer_v to_o the_o inward_a &_o secret_a counsel_n of_o god_n for_o god_n always_o in_o himself_o remain_v one_o and_o in_o himself_o be_v constant_a and_o firm_a but_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v move_v with_o repentance_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o understanding_n and_o capacity_n of_o man_n for_o even_o as_o we_o perceive_v god_n to_o be_v angry_a as_o often_o as_o he_o cite_v we_o unto_o his_o judgement_n seat_n &_o declare_v unto_o we_o our_o sin_n so_o also_o do_v we_o perceive_v that_o he_o be_v pacify_v &_o appease_v when_o as_o he_o offer_v we_o hope_v of_o pardon_n and_o there_o be_v according_a to_o our_o sense_n some_o change_n in_o god_n when_o as_o he_o forget_v his_o anger_n as_o though_o he_o take_v to_o he_o a_o new_a mind_n or_o affection_n because_o therefore_o we_o can_v not_o otherwise_o be_v terrify_v so_o that_o we_o may_v humble_v ourselves_o before_o god_n and_o repent_v unless_o he_o set_v before_o we_o his_o ire_n and_o wrath_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n apply_v itself_o unto_o this_o grossness_n of_o our_o understanding_n now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o can_v cheerful_o call_v upon_o god_n unless_o we_o think_v he_o to_o be_v at_o one_o with_o we_o and_o appease_v toward_o we_o we_o see_v therefore_o that_o a_o certain_a kind_n of_o god_n change_v come_v into_o our_o mind_n as_o often_o as_o either_o god_n threaten_v we_o or_o give_v we_o any_o hope_n of_o pardon_n and_o reconciliation_n and_o so_o this_o speech_n when_o jonas_n say_v that_o god_n be_v move_v with_o repentance_n ought_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o this_o end_n us._n further_o we_o see_v that_o god_n be_v two_o way_n set_v out_o unto_o we_o first_o in_o his_o word_n and_o again_o second_o in_o his_o secret_a counsel_n as_o touch_v his_o secret_a counsel_n i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o god_n be_v always_o one_o neither_o do_v he_o use_v any_o of_o our_o affection_n but_o as_o touch_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o word_n which_o be_v apply_v unto_o our_o sense_n god_n be_v sometime_o angry_a with_o we_o and_o sometime_o as_o pacify_v offer_v unto_o we_o forgiveness_n and_o be_v favourable_a and_o propitiouse_a unto_o we_o and_o this_o be_v that_o repentance_n of_o god_n let_v we_o remember_v therefore_o that_o this_o depend_v and_o be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o word_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v touch_v with_o repentance_n even_o because_o the_o ninevite_n can_v perceive_v none_o other_o but_o that_o god_n have_v full_o determine_v that_o they_o shall_v perish_v and_o why_o so_o even_o because_o so_o he_o have_v declare_v by_o his_o word_n but_o now_o when_o as_o they_o rise_v up_o unto_o the_o hope_n of_o their_o safeguard_n then_o do_v they_o perceive_v some_o change_n &_o alteration_n even_o according_a to_o the_o capacity_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o sure_a each_o affection_n as_o well_o of_o fear_n as_o of_o joy_n do_v spring_n of_o the_o word_n because_o when_o god_n by_o his_o word_n denounce_v his_o ire_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o miserable_a man_n shall_v be_v terrify_v but_o when_o he_o invite_v they_o by_o his_o word_n unto_o salvation_n in_o set_v before_o they_o reconciliation_n
