they_o with_o who_o he_o be_v before_o at_o peace_n so_o job_n 30.21_o thou_o be_v become_v cruel_a to_o i_o or_o thou_o be_v turn_v or_o change_v q._n d._n thou_o be_v good_a and_o gracious_a but_o now_o thou_o be_v severe_a and_o cruel_a so_o isa_n 63.10_o he_o be_v turn_v to_o be_v their_o enemy_n and_o fight_v against_o they_o thus_o both_o these_o way_n god_n seem_v to_o be_v represent_v under_o change_n and_o how_o then_o be_v he_o unchangeable_a nevertheless_o unchangeable_a for_o all_o this_o and_o to_o vindicate_v god_n unchangeableness_n notwithstanding_o this_o i_o will_v entreat_v you_o to_o consider_v two_o thing_n 1._o consider_v that_o god_n be_v unchangeable_a under_o the_o most_o various_a and_o changeable_a dispensation_n that_o he_o do_v or_o can_v walk_v in_o towards_o we_o it_o be_v true_a the_o external_a dispensation_n change_v his_o outward_a course_n and_o carriage_n towards_o we_o be_v very_o changeable_a and_o various_a now_o he_o smile_v and_o then_o he_o frown_v now_o he_o fill_v and_o then_o he_o emtye_v now_o he_o lift_v up_o and_o then_o he_o cast_v down_o now_o he_o break_v and_o then_o he_o bind_v up_o etc._n etc._n thus_o the_o outward_a deal_n and_o dispensation_n of_o god_n be_v very_o changeable_a and_o various_a yet_o in_o and_o under_o all_o he_o himself_o change_v not_o but_o be_v still_o the_o same_o the_o same_o in_o his_o be_v and_o in_o his_o blessedness_n and_o the_o same_o in_o his_o counsel_n covenant_n and_o love_n to_o we_o hence_o psal_n 25.10_o all_o the_o path_n that_o be_v the_o providence_n and_o dispensation_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o be_v mercy_n and_o truth_n to_o his_o people_n his_o path_n towards_o they_o be_v very_o various_a in_o themselves_o but_o god_n love_n and_o grace_n be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o the_o outward_a dispensation_n of_o god_n towards_o we_o it_o may_v be_v be_v change_v he_o do_v smile_v but_o now_o he_o frown_v he_o do_v give_v but_o now_o he_o take_v away_o he_o do_v form_n light_n but_o now_o he_o create_v darkness_n for_o we_o and_o hereupon_o we_o apprehend_v that_o god_n himself_o his_o heart_n his_o counsel_n his_o covenant_n his_o love_n be_v change_v but_o it_o be_v only_o in_o our_o apprehension_n for_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n he_o be_v the_o same_o still_o the_o most_o variable_a of_o his_o dispensation_n do_v not_o argue_v the_o least_o variableness_n in_o he_o at_o all_o and_o indeed_o where_o he_o be_v a_o friend_n he_o be_v a_o friend_n for_o ever_o and_o where_o he_o be_v a_o enemy_n he_o be_v a_o enemy_n for_o ever_o the_o change_n be_v only_o in_o the_o external_a dispensation_n 2._o consider_v that_o the_o change_n be_v in_o we_o and_o not_o in_o god_n god_n be_v always_o the_o same_o but_o we_o be_v not_o the_o same_o when_o god_n be_v pacify_v towards_o those_o with_o who_o he_o be_v offend_v they_o be_v change_v not_o he_o he_o be_v the_o same_o he_o be_v and_o when_o he_o be_v angry_a with_o saint_n with_o who_o he_o be_v before_o at_o peace_n they_o be_v change_v not_o he_o the_o change_n be_v in_o job_n not_o in_o god_n when_o he_o say_v thou_o be_v turn_v to_o be_v cruel_a to_o i_o the_o change_n be_v in_o the_o church_n not_o in_o god_n when_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v turn_v to_o be_v their_o enemy_n god_n say_v a_o worthy_a divine_a be_v the_o same_o his_o love_n be_v the_o same_o his_o wrath_n be_v the_o same_o his_o mercy_n be_v the_o same_o his_o justice_n be_v the_o same_o and_o that_o for_o ever_o but_o we_o change_v be_v cast_v sometime_o under_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o love_n and_o sometime_o under_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o wrath_n we_o be_v sometime_o under_o the_o sad_a dropping_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o sometime_o under_o the_o sweet_a influence_n of_o his_o mercy_n as_o a_o man_n that_o change_v his_o aspect_n and_o turn_v about_o his_o body_n to_o another_o point_n of_o the_o heaven_n that_o part_n of_o the_o heaven_n which_o be_v before_o at_o his_o right_a hand_n be_v now_o at_o his_o left_a not_o but_o that_o the_o heaven_n be_v as_o they_o be_v they_o change_v not_o either_o their_o position_n or_o motion_n but_o the_o man_n have_v change_v he_o so_o the_o wrath_n and_o love_n the_o justice_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n stand_v always_o at_o the_o same_o point_n but_o we_o turn_v sometime_o justice-ward_n sometime_o mercy-ward_n now_o we_o face_n his_o wrath_n and_o then_o his_o love_n thus_o the_o change_n be_v in_o we_o and_o not_o in_o god_n and_o so_o he_o remain_v unchangeable_a still_o 4._o the_o four_o proposition_n be_v this_o that_o god_n unchangeableness_n do_v no_o way_n exclude_v or_o invalidate_v the_o use_n of_o mean_n if_o god_n be_v unchangeable_a then_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v the_o use_n of_o mean_n why_o do_v we_o pray_v or_o hear_v or_o use_v any_o mean_n in_o order_n to_o our_o eternal_a good_a why_o my_o belove_a god_n unchangeableness_n do_v no_o way_n exclude_v or_o invalidate_v the_o use_n of_o mean_n for_o pray_v consider_v first_o that_o god_n will_v the_o mean_n as_o well_o as_o the_o end_n and_o the_o mean_n in_o order_n to_o the_o end_n he_o will_v our_o pray_v as_o well_o as_o our_o pardon_n our_o hear_v as_o well_o as_o our_o happiness_n our_o sow_v as_o well_o as_o our_o reap_v our_o sow_v in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n as_o well_o as_o our_o reap_v in_o the_o harvest_n of_o mercy_n he_o will_v our_o believe_v as_o well_o as_o our_o blessedness_n he_o will_v the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o yea_o he_o will_v the_o one_o in_o order_n to_o the_o other_o and_o that_o with_o the_o same_o absolute_a immutable_a and_o eternal_a will_n he_o have_v ordain_v we_o shall_v walk_v in_o good_a work_n eph._n 2.10_o and_o he_o ha_o h_z choose_v we_o to_o salvation_n through_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o truth_n 2_o thes_n 2.13_o second_o consider_v that_o as_o god_n will_v the_o mean_n as_o well_o as_o the_o end_n so_o through_o the_o use_n of_o these_o it_o be_v that_o he_o give_v out_o himself_o and_o his_o blessing_n to_o we_o and_o at_o last_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o end_n god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o his_o people_n and_o therein_o lay_v himself_o under_o bond_n to_o do_v great_a thing_n for_o they_o as_o great_a as_o a_o god_n can_v do_v but_o he_o will_v have_v they_o pray_v for_o they_o nor_o will_v he_o do_v they_o but_o in_o a_o way_n of_o prayer_n ezek._n 36.37_o and_o god_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o never_o say_v to_o the_o seed_n of_o jacoh_n seek_v you_o i_o in_o vain_a isa_n 45.19_o indeed_o god_n be_v not_o want_v to_o his_o people_n in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_a the_o lord_n be_v good_a to_o they_o that_o wait_v for_o he_o to_o the_o soul_n that_o seek_v he_o lam._n 3.26_o ordinary_o god_n will_v not_o communicate_v himself_o and_o his_o love_n any_o other_o way_n and_o that_o soul_n that_o neglect_v this_o put_v himself_o out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o the_o manifestation_n and_o communication_n of_o god_n and_o his_o love_n indeed_o god_n have_v as_o it_o be_v tie_v himself_o to_o soul_n under_o a_o conscientious_a use_n of_o mean_n to_o do_v they_o good_a ask_v and_o you_o shall_v receive_v seek_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v knock_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v open_v to_o you_o for_o every_o one_o that_o ask_v receive_v and_o every_o one_o that_o seek_v find_v and_o to_o he_o that_o knock_v it_o be_v open_v as_o you_o therefore_o value_v communion_n with_o god_n and_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o love_n take_v heed_n of_o lay_v aside_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n three_o consider_v that_o these_o thing_n we_o call_v mean_n such_o as_o prayer_n hear_v and_o the_o like_a be_v instance_n of_o our_o homage_n worship_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n hereby_o we_o worship_v god_n and_o give_v so_o far_o the_o glory_n to_o he_o that_o be_v due_a unto_o his_o name_n and_o consequent_o to_o cast_v off_o these_o be_v to_o cast_v off_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o to_o deny_v we_o owe_v homage_n to_o he_o lay_v all_o these_o together_o and_o our_o proposition_n be_v clear_a that_o god_n s_o unchangeableness_n do_v no_o way_n exclude_v or_o invalidate_v the_o use_n of_o mean_n and_o when_o we_o use_v mean_n it_o be_v not_o to_o change_v but_o fulfil_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o to_o alter_v but_o to_o accomplish_v his_o counsel_n and_o bring_v we_o into_o the_o fruition_n of_o they_o thus_o by_o these_o proposition_n i_o have_v vindicate_v the_o unchangeableness_n of_o god_n from_o cavil_n and_o contradiction_n and_o it_o remain_v a_o truth_n that_o the_o lord_n jehovah_n be_v a_o unchangeable_a god_n chap._n vi_o several_a
