have_v not_o we_o reason_n now_o as_o to_o bewail_v our_o want_n so_o to_o weep_v over_o our_o mercy_n all_o this_o day_n long_o and_o to_o consider_v how_o much_o we_o be_v the_o worse_a for_o

they_o receive_v do_v but_o ripen_v their_o sin_n and_o hasten_v their_o ruin_n take_v heed_n you_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a of_o the_o mercy_n you_o receive_v as_o christ_n say_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a of_o repentance_n you_o may_v remember_v it_o be_v say_v of_o solomon_n cant._n 8.11_o he_o have_v a_o vine-yard_n in_o baal-hamon_n and_o solomon_n let_v it_o out_o but_o

indeed_o the_o lord_n direct_v to_o this_o in_o deut._n 26.5_o they_o be_v to_o come_v to_o bring_v their_o first_o fruit_n to_o god_n when_o they_o come_v to_o canaan_n they_o be_v to_o come_v to_o

mercy_n when_o a_o soul_n can_v say_v as_o jacob_n do_v i_o be_o less_o than_o the_o least_o of_o all_o thy_o mercy_n second_o the_o proper_a fruit_n of_o mercy_n by_o which_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o better_a for_o it_o be_v when_o they_o ascribe_v all_o mercy_n to_o god_n when_o they_o say_v we_o have_v wrought_v no_o deliverance_n in_o the_o earth_n neither_o have_v the_o

all_o he_o look_v on_o no_o instrument_n no_o second_a cause_n three_o when_o mercy_n do_v bring_v a_o man_n sin_n to_o remembrance_n the_o soul_n stoop_v under_o the_o apprehension_n of_o mercy_n what_o will_v god_n show_v mercy_n to_o i_o one_o so_o rebellious_a and_o disobedient_a as_o i_o and_o then_o the_o soul_n read_v over_o the_o guilt_n of_o his_o sin_n with_o new_a remorse_n be_v

ult_n when_o god_n show_v the_o great_a mercy_n that_o ever_o he_o will_v give_v they_o when_o he_o will_v give_v they_o sister_n for_o daughter_n and_o exalt_v she_o to_o be_v the_o mother_n church_n

captivity_n but_o will_v the_o lord_n yet_o show_v mercy_n the_o soul_n be_v in_o bitterness_n for_o this_o four_o when_o mercy_n lay_v upon_o the_o man_n the_o strong_a obligation_n and_o a_o man_n

a_o deliverance_n as_o this_o shall_v we_o rebel_v as_o if_o they_o shall_v have_v say_v if_o this_o mercy_n do_v not_o make_v up_o the_o bank_n against_o disobedience_n nothing_o in_o the_o world_n will_v do_v it_o this_o make_v a_o man_n as_o david_n to_o cleave_v to_o god_n with_o full_a purpose_n of_o heart_n and_o to_o say_v this_o god_n be_v my_o god_n be_v my_o god_n for_o ever_o five_o when_o the_o soul_n study_v what_o he_o shall_v return_v to_o god_n for_o all_o his_o mercy_n you_o know_v that_o god_n not_o only_o expect_v return_n but_o proportionable_a return_n and_o i_o

our_o receipt_n there_o be_v a_o double_a way_n to_o make_v reckon_n even_o you_o can_v never_o return_v so_o much_o in_o the_o thing_n but_o in_o the_o will_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o as_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v large_a in_o mercy_n so_o much_o the_o more_o thy_o heart_n shall_v be_v enlarge_v in_o return_n and_o let_v i_o offer_v this_o to_o your_o thought_n in_o every_o

though_o the_o lord_n have_v many_o end_n in_o it_o yet_o some_o special_a end_n the_o lord_n aim_v at_o in_o every_o mercy_n which_o you_o shall_v consult_v with_o god_n about_o go_v to_o the_o
