they_o will_v repent_v and_o then_o it_o follow_v that_o my_o preach_n shall_v be_v vain_a and_o sure_o god_n will_v not_o be_v contrary_a to_o himself_o but_o will_v show_v forth_o a_o example_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n when_o he_o shall_v forgive_v this_o people_n again_o let_v we_o note_v that_o we_o do_v wicked_o when_o as_o without_o judgement_n we_o follow_v our_o zeal_n for_o there_o be_v some_o blind_a fury_n which_o then_o carry_v we_o away_o therefore_o although_o a_o thousand_o absurdity_n do_v come_v in_o our_o head_n when_o god_n command_v any_o thing_n yet_o be_v our_o eye_n to_o be_v close_v as_o it_o be_v and_o always_o we_o ought_v to_o follow_v on_o in_o the_o course_n of_o our_o vocation_n because_o he_o will_v so_o moderate_v all_o event_n that_o they_o all_o shall_v tend_v to_o his_o glory_n it_o be_v not_o our_o part_n here_o to_o be_v to_o curious_a but_o this_o be_v our_o best_a means_n that_o we_o let_v the_o event_n of_o thing_n alone_o unto_o god_n it_o be_v our_o part_n indeed_o to_o fear_n and_o to_o be_v careful_a but_o with_o all_o this_o our_o care_n ought_v to_o submit_n itself_o unto_o god_n so_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o suffice_v we_o even_o to_o pray_v this_o be_v the_o sum_n now_o that_o he_o say_v again_o that_o god_n do_v repent_v he_o of_o evil_a we_o have_v expound_v it_o a_o little_a before_o even_o that_o although_o he_o have_v stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n yet_o he_o pluck_v it_o in_o again_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o find_v any_o repentance_n in_o man_n for_o evil_a here_o be_v take_v for_o punishment_n god_n therefore_o although_o he_o may_v and_o that_o worthy_o lie_v upon_o man_n extreme_a pain_n and_o punishment_n he_o yet_o suspend_v his_o judgement_n and_o if_o they_o run_v unto_o he_o with_o true_a repentance_n by_o and_o by_o he_o be_v pacify_v and_o appease_v and_o this_o be_v the_o repentance_n of_o god_n even_o that_o what_o ever_o punishment_n and_o evil_a man_n have_v deserve_v he_o do_v of_o his_o own_o accord_n remit_v so_o soon_o as_o man_n be_v displease_v with_o themselves_o and_o repent_v now_o it_o follow_v vers_fw-la 3_o the_o text_n ¶_o therefore_o thou_o oh_o lord_n take_v i_o beseech_v thou_o my_o life_n from_o i_o for_o it_o be_v better_a for_o i_o to_o die_v then_o to_o live_v caluin_n here_o we_o see_v how_o great_o jonas_n chafe_v and_o wax_v hot_a in_o his_o

as_o if_o he_o fear_v not_o death_n but_o have_v put_v of_o all_o fear_n free_a and_o at_o liberty_n may_v offer_v himself_o unto_o god_n but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o affection_n of_o jonas_n be_v not_o so_o lofty_a there_o be_v no_o vers_fw-la 2_o doubt_n in_o deed_n as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o he_o yet_o retain_v some_o spark_n of_o godliness_n in_o he_o and_o i_o say_v that_o this_o thing_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v but_o o●s_v by_o the_o word_n of_o pray_v for_o if_o jonas_n have_v burst_v out_o into_o the_o voice_n of_o a_o desperate_a man_n this_o sure_o have_v be_v no_o prayer_n when_o as_o therefore_o he_o pray_v notwithstanding_o he_o so_o speak_v it_o follow_v that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o voice_n of_o desperation_n but_o of_o to_o much_o anger_n or_o indignation_n wherein_o jonas_n do_v not_o moderate_v himself_o ▪_o final_o this_o prayer_n proceed_v of_o a_o godly_a &_o holy_a zeal_n but_o jonas_n in_o the_o manner_n itself_o or_o in_o go_v forward_o do_v offend_v for_o he_o be_v even_o paste_v himself_o ▪_o when_o he_o prefer_v death_n before_o life_n say_v thou_o lord_n take_v i_o away_o first_o it_o can_v not_o be_v without_o fault_n that_o he_o be_v so_o headlong_o carry_v to_o the_o desire_n of_o death_n death_n for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o we_o to_o pass_v out_o of_o this_o world_n but_o as_o long_o as_o god_n retain_v and_o keep_v we_o in_o this_o stay_n wherein_o he_o have_v place_v we_o with_o quiet_a mind_n we_o ought_v to_o abide_v who_o so_o therefore_o he_o be_v that_o with_o so_o great_a ardoncie_n make_v haste_n to_o death_n 1.25_o without_o do_v able_a he_o offend_v god_n paul_n see_v that_o death_n be_v to_o be_v wish_v to_o himself_o but_o again_o when_o he_o perceive_v that_o his_o labour_n be_v profitable_a to_o the_o church_n he_o be_v ●ntent_a with_o his_o lot_n and_o prefer_v the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n before_o his_o desire_n and_o so_o be_v he_o ready_a both_o to_o live_v &_o die_v unto_o god._n jonas_n but_o jonas_n cantrarie_a now_o say_v he_o take_v away_o my_o soul_n this_o be_v one_o fault_n another_o be_v when_o as_o he_o desire_v to_o die_v because_o god_n will_v spare_v the_o ninevite_n although_o he_o be_v touch_v with_o some_o sorrow_n yet_o ought_v he_o not_o to_o ●a●e_v go_v or_o rather_o to_o have_v burst_v out_o thus_o far_o that_o in_o the_o loathe_n of_o his_o life_n he_o shall_v wish_v after_o death_n but_o here_o hence_o we_o learn_v when_o once_o man_n let_v lose_v the_o rain_n to_o unadvised_a zeal_n whether_o they_o be_v carry_v jonas_n the_o holy_a prophet_n which_o of_o late_o be_v tame_v and_o subdue_v with_o so_o hard_a chastisement_n yet_o be_v carry_v away_o headlong_o even_o unto_o the_o desire_n of_o death_n &_o why_o because_o he_o think_v that_o it_o fall_v out_o ill_a that_o he_o have_v denounce_v destuction_n unto_o the_o ninevite_n and_o yet_o the_o city_n continue_v safe_a this_o example_n ought_v to_o restrain_v we_o lest_o we_o geve_v sentence_n rash_o of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n but_o rather_o may_v hold_v all_o our_o sense_n captive_n lest_o at_o any_o time_n such_o temerity_n &_o rashness_n shall_v burst_v out_o of_o we_o because_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o who_o condemn_v not_o jonas_n even_o as_o he_o condemn_v himself_o for_o he_o reveal_v not_o here_o his_o own_o praise_n but_o he_o will_v here_o declare_v that_o he_o rash_o have_v judge_v of_o that_o work_n of_o god_n well_o jonas_n here_o confess_v his_o foolishness_n let_v therefore_o his_o experience_n be_v a_o lesson_n unto_o we_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o preposterous_a then_o according_a to_o our_o judgement_n to_o determine_v this_o or_o that_o because_o this_o be_v when_o all_o be_v do_v the_o true_a wisdom_n to_o submit_v ourselves_o whole_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o god._n now_o if_o any_o man_n here_o will_v move_v a_o direction_n death_n whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o wish_v for_o death_n i_o answer_v brief_o that_o death_n be_v not_o to_o be_v wish_v for_o in_o the_o loathe_n of_o life_n that_o be_v one_o thing_n i_o mean_v that_o to_o be_v loathe_v of_o life_n when_o either_o poverty_n or_o hunger_n or_o ignominy_n or_o any_o such_o thing_n do_v make_v life_n hateful_a or_o odious_a unto_o we_o but_o if_o any_o man_n in_o the_o irksomeness_n and_o in_o the_o dyslyke_a of_o his_o shyve_n be_v gréeve_v to_o remain_v on_o the_o earth_n according_a as_o paul_n say_v oh_o miserable_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o death_n he_o for_o certainty_n shall_v conceive_v a_o holy_a and_o godly_a desire_n so_o that_o that_o obedience_n whereof_o i_o speak_v he_o add_v even_o that_o his_o affection_n burst_v not_o out_o as_o it_o be_v in_o despite_n of_o god_n but_o who_o so_o be_v so_o affect_v let_v he_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v stay_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n as_o long_o as_o it_o please_v he_o again_o if_o any_o man_n wish_v for_o death_n because_o he_o escape_v himself_o in_o time_n to_o come_v or_o dread_v to_o undertake_v any_o office_n or_o charge_n he_o verily_o strive_v with_o god_n and_o such_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o jonas_n he_o say_v that_o death_n be_v more_o welcome_a than_o life_n but_o why_o because_o the_o lord_n spare_v the_o ninevite_n we_o see_v then_o how_o blind_a he_o be_v and_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o a_o mad_a motion_n &_o violence_n to_o wish_v for_o death_n let_v we_o therefore_o learn_v so_o to_o love_v this_o life_n that_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o leave_v the_o fame_n as_o often_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v good_a unto_o the_o lord_n let_v we_o learn_v also_o to_o wish_v for_o death_n but_o so_o that_o we_o may_v live_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o may_v proceed_v in_o our_o course_n until_o he_o himself_o bring_v we_o unto_o our_o end_n now_o here_o follow_v the_o rebuke_n of_o god._n vers_fw-la 4_o the_o text_n ¶_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v do_v thou_o well_o in_o be_v angry_a in_o thyself_o caluin_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o god_n so_o chide_v jonas_n

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
