of_o that_o but_o just_a a_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o this_o city_n and_o the_o royal_a camp_n and_o other_o part_n beyond_o the_o sea_n that_o it_o be_v predictive_a and_o foretell_v of_o a_o great_a change_n in_o the_o world_n and_o of_o this_o i_o give_v these_o follow_a argument_n 1._o it_o be_v beyond_o all_o denial_n most_o evident_a that_o scripture_n make_v use_v of_o earthquake_n as_o the_o conveyance_n of_o its_o description_n of_o the_o great_a work_n and_o change_v god_n will_v make_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n till_o it_o appear_v that_o course_n of_o earthquake_n

then_o by_o its_o own_o appearance_n for_o if_o first_o christ_n convey_v his_o kingdom_n by_o earthquake_n as_o type_n and_o pledge_n it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a to_o expect_v when_o he_o alarm_n the_o world_n with_o earthquake_n he_o have_v something_o to_o do_v more_o than_o ordinary_a in_o the_o advancement_n of_o it_o else_o his_o so_o great_a use_n of_o they_o in_o his_o word_n will_v be_v but_o as_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o mountain_n and_o amuse_v in_o vain_a by_o the_o so_o often_o use_v of_o earthquake_n he_o teach_v we_o to_o expect_v by_o they_o see_v as_o on_o one_o side_n he_o use_v earthquake_n in_o his_o word_n to_o express_v great_a thing_n for_o his_o kingdom_n by_o so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o use_v earthquake_n that_o be_v so_o in_o fact_n to_o and_o in_o his_o providence_n to_o foretell_v some_o change_n for_o his_o kingdom_n follow_v they_o according_a to_o his_o word_n 2._o the_o nation_n and_o place_n where_o this_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n come_v be_v such_o as_o be_v close_o concern_v in_o the_o change_n that_o god_n be_v about_o to_o make_v be_v either_o of_o the_o protestant_a profession_n or_o of_o the_o ten_o king_n that_o yet_o give_v their_o kingdom_n to_o the_o beast_n that_o god_n be_v please_v therefore_o to_o guide_v the_o motion_n of_o unquiet_a vapour_n over_o so_o many_o country_n and_o city_n it_o be_v like_o the_o

now_o in_o the_o forego_n discourse_n in_o a_o practical_a and_o persuasive_a way_n endeavour_v to_o engage_v man_n to_o a_o timely_a repentance_n by_o set_v out_o the_o hazard_n of_o a_o late_a one_o i_o have_v think_v it_o necessary_a to_o make_v the_o state_n of_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n as_o exact_a as_o i_o can_v by_o consider_v whatever_o may_v with_o fair_a appearance_n of_o scripture-reason_n call_v into_o question_n and_o scruple_n what_o i_o have_v ground_v my_o persuasion_n upon_o i_o will_v therefore_o as_o a_o supplement_n to_o all_o i_o have_v say_v first_o recollect_v what_o i_o have_v intend_v all_o along_o and_o then_o cast_v all_o i_o can_v possible_o suppose_v against_o it_o into_o objection_n and_o answer_n that_o by_o close_a atention_n to_o the_o case_n itself_o every_o one_o that_o will_v be_v at_o the_o cost_n to_o consider_v it_o may_v be_v convince_v to_o the_o main_a end_n viz._n a_o present_a religious_a life_n 1._o first_o then_o i_o make_v it_o not_o the_o question_n whether_o a_o true_a repentance_n how_o late_o soever_o be_v a_o repentance_n to_o salvation_n 2._o nor_o second_o whether_o god_n have_v reserve_v it_o to_o the_o prerogative_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o give_v a_o true_a repentance_n at_o last_o 3._o nor_o three_o whether_o a_o repentance_n that_o be_v true_a and_o sincere_a though_o but_o in_o the_o seed_n be_v surprise_v with_o a_o deathbed_n may_v not_o then_o break_v out_o and_o show_v itself_o more_o full_o 4._o nor_o last_o whether_o a_o man_n that_o have_v the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n bring_v to_o he_o but_o just_a before_o his_o die_a condition_n may_v not_o expect_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n work_v with_o it_o then_o even_o as_o in_o the_o free_a time_n of_o life_n all_o these_o i_o do_v with_o great_a confidence_n acknowledge_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o i_o have_v say_v against_o a_o deathbed_n repentance_n will_v be_v comprise_v in_o these_o follow_a assertion_n which_o i_o restrain_v whole_o to_o man_n that_o have_v live_v under_o the_o light_n and_o exhortation_n and_o application_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n with_o all_o usual_a freedom_n and_o yet_o have_v not_o begin_v sincere_o to_o repent_v till_o they_o come_v to_o die_v the_o first_o be_v that_o a_o deathbed_n repentance_n how_o fair_a soever_o it_o may_v appear_v have_v yet_o the_o great_a doubt_n imaginable_a upon_o it_o whether_o it_o be_v true_a the_o second_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n of_o fear_n god_n will_v not_o give_v his_o grace_n to_o such_o a_o die_a man_n to_o repent_v the_o three_o that_o a_o repentance_n at_o death_n be_v not_o that_o general_a repentance_n the_o scripture_n discourse_v of_o make_v promise_n of_o pardon_n upon_o offer_v the_o assistance_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o enjoin_v the_o duty_n of_o with_o so_o many_o press_a command_n for_o that_o repentance_n immediate_o to_o be_v begin_v be_v suppose_v to_o govern_v a_o follow_a life_n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a and_o miraculous_a repentance_n if_o true_a last_o that_o it_o be_v therefore_o against_o all_o rule_n of_o piety_n and_o prudence_n by_o mispending_a life_n to_o cast_v ourselves_o upon_o the_o necessity_n of_o repentance_n at_o death_n this_o i_o say_v be_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o i_o have_v design_v all_o along_o and_o which_o i_o will_v now_o further_o clear_a and_o vindicate_v from_o these_o follow_a objection_n objection_n 1._o do_v not_o the_o parable_n of_o call_v some_o labourer_n into_o the_o vineyard_n at_o the_o eleven_o hour_n imply_v that_o god_n do_v in_o ordinary_a convert_n some_o at_o the_o last_o hour_n as_o well_o as_o soon_o etc._n mat._n 20._o v._n 1._o etc._n etc._n answer_n the_o main_a scope_n of_o parable_n be_v only_o argumentative_a and_o so_o far_o as_o the_o scope_n of_o that_o parable_n relate_v to_o this_o case_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o i_o acknowledge_v that_o god_n give_v eternal_a life_n to_o true_a repentance_n if_o true_a at_o last_o even_o as_o to_o the_o first_o and_o early_a repentance_n the_o reward_n be_v to_o all_o of_o grace_n and_o not_o of_o debt_n it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v consider_v there_o remain_v a_o hour_n of_o work_v represent_v rather_o old_a age_n than_o a_o deathbed_n if_o the_o colour_n of_o a_o parable_n prove_v any_o thing_n and_o so_o be_v rather_o against_o this_o repentance_n than_o for_o it_o in_o the_o second_o objection_n i_o suppose_v man_n take_v sanctuary_n at_o infinite_a mercy_n and_o power_n in_o this_o manner_n although_o no_o thought_n of_o man_n can_v reach_v the_o mercy_n that_o accept_v or_o give_v repentance_n at_o the_o last_o yet_o mercy_n be_v as_o much_o above_o our_o thought_n as_o the_o heaven_n above_o the_o earth_n what_o can_v we_o define_v concern_v it_o and_o though_o there_o be_v so_o many_o circumstance_n of_o impossibility_n according_a to_o our_o measure_n of_o thing_n yet_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v impossible_a with_o man_n with_o god_n be_v possible_a for_o with_o god_n all_o thing_n be_v possible_a how_o can_v we_o then_o determine_v in_o this_o case_n can_v we_o by_o search_v find_v out_o the_o almighty_a in_o his_o mercy_n and_o power_n can_v we_o find_v he_o out_o to_o perfection_n it_o be_v high_a as_o heaven_n what_o can_v we_o do_v it_o be_v deep_a than_o hell_n what_o can_v we_o know_v the_o measure_n thereof_o be_v long_o than_o the_o earth_n and_o broad_a than_o the_o sea_n answer_n now_o because_o in_o this_o objection_n the_o sinew_n of_o all_o hope_n and_o expectation_n from_o this_o late_a repentance_n meet_v i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o give_v the_o most_o punctual_a answer_n to_o it_o and_o though_o i_o know_v after_o all_o that_o be_v or_o can_v be_v say_v man_n will_v not_o quit_v it_o yet_o i_o shall_v rest_v upon_o this_o answer_n as_o my_o last_o resolution_n of_o this_o case_n and_o by_o it_o raise_v the_o dissuasion_n from_o a_o trust_n in_o such_o a_o repentance_n to_o the_o height_n the_o greatness_n of_o the_o hazard_n appear_v most_o full_o from_o it_o in_o general_a
