yet_o this_o testimony_n of_o jonas_n ought_v to_o satisfy_v we_o but_o when_o he_o be_v command_v to_o arise_v and_o go_v to_o nineveh_n the_o lord_n give_v now_o some_o hope_n of_o profit_n even_o

because_o god_n take_v care_n for_o it_o &_o in_o the_o which_o he_o will_v show_v such_o a_o example_n of_o conversion_n but_o this_o kind_n of_o speak_v be_v take_v of_o the_o common_a manner_n of_o

it_o be_v cite_v they_o unto_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n show_v unto_o they_o their_o gyiltinesse_n for_o if_o he_o have_v simple_o speak_v of_o punishment_n this_o certain_o can_v not_o

when_o as_o jonas_n say_v that_o the_o ninevite_n belove_v god_n ▪_o for_o unless_o the●_z have_v be_v persuade_v that_o this_o commandment_n proceed_v from_o heaven_n what_o manner_n of_o faith_n

and_o from_o hence_o come_v their_o faith_n again_o the_o ninevite_n have_v never_o so_o believe_v god_n to_o put_v upon_o themselves_o sackcloth_n but_o that_o they_o be_v admonish_v of_o their_o sin_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o jonas_n while_o he_o cry_v out_o against_o nineveh_n lay_v open_a and_o set_v also_o evident_o before_o all_o man_n how_o wicked_o those_o man_n have_v live_v and_o how_o heinous_a and_o grievous_a their_o offence_n be_v against_o god_n and_o hereby_o it_o come_v that_o they_o put_v on_o sackcloth_n &_o humble_o flee_v for_o succour_n unto_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n because_o they_o understand_v that_o they_o be_v worthy_o call_v to_o judgement_n for_o their_o life_n wicked_o lead_v but_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v how_o the_o ninevite_n believe_v god_n faith_n sith_o to_o the●_z no_o hope_n be_v give_v of_o salvation_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o faith_n without_o the_o taste_n of_o the_o fatherly_a benevolence_n of_o god_n who_o so_o conceive_v that_o god_n be_v displease_v and_o angry_a with_o he_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o he_o must_v altogether_o despair_v when_o as_o therefore_o jonas_n give_v they_o no_o ●ast_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n he_o may_v rather_o a_o hundred_o time_n terrify_v the_o ninevite_n than_o once_o call_v they_o to_o the_o faith_n but_o the_o speech_n may_v be_v synechdochiall_a that_o be_v put_v part_n for_o the_o whole_a for_o it_o be_v not_o whole_a faith_n when_o as_o man_n be_v call_v to_o repentance_n do_v submissivelie_o humble_a themselves_o before_o god_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 11_o in_o the_o 1●_o to_o the_o hebre._n that_o noah_n by_o faith_n fear_v where_o he_o bring_v the_o fear_n which_o

by_o synecdoche_n may_v this_o place_n be_v expound_v that_o the_o ninevite_n believe_v the_o lord_n even_o because_o when_o they_o understand_v that_o god_n be_v to_o geve_v they_o their_o deserve_a punishment_n they_o submit_v themselves_o to_o he_o &_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n flee_v unto_o he_o to_o crave_v pardon_n but_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o ninevite_n conceive_v more_o by_o the_o word_n of_o jonas_n than_o a_o naked_a terror_n and_o fear_n because_o if_o they_o have_v only_o apprehend_v that_o part_n even_o that_o they_o be_v guilty_a before_o god_n and_o

do_v humble_o prostrate_v themselves_o before_o god_n certain_o they_o conceive_v some_o hope_n of_o grace_n and_o favour_n at_o god_n hand_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o so_o touch_v with_o

they_o be_v most_o worthy_a of_o death_n they_o yet_o despair_v not_o but_o have_v recourse_n unto_o prayer_n when_o as_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o the_o ninevite_n seek_v that_o remedy_n we_o
