Am I a God at hand saith the Lord and not a God a far off can any hide himselfe in secret places that I shall not see him saith the Lord Do not I fill heaven and earth saith the Lord Jer. 23.23 24. Upon vvhich dissention the auditory are usually desired to judg And novv inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah judg I pray between me and my vineyard What could I have done more to my vineyard than I have done unto it Isa 5.3 4.

Apollos the eloquent Alexandrian mightily convinced the Jevves in publick Act. 18. For an introduction to vvhich 1. The affections are to be considered that are to be vvrought upon 2. The vvorking upon them diversly by Scripture Patheticks Affections to be wrought upon may be conveniently reduced to 1. Love 2. Hatred 3. Hope 4. Fear 5. Joy 6. Sorrow 7. Zeal Motives to Love Love respects God our selvs our neighbours David's love to God is express'd in divers places extatically O how amiable arethy dvvellings thou Lord of hosts My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord my heart and my flesh rejoyce in the Living God Psal 84.
