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

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

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

seem_v like_o a_o desperate_a man_n when_o so_o of_o his_o own_o mind_n he_o hasten_v to_o his_o end_n but_o without_o doubt_n jonas_n perceive_v that_o from_o above_o he_o be_v require_v to_o

this_o can_v be_v refer_v unto_o the_o lot_n for_o this_o knowledge_n be_v common_a unto_o they_o all_o but_o jonas_n here_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n speak_v and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o confirm_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o first_o touch_v even_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n to_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o only_a king_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n this_o

that_o he_o leave_v not_o of_o to_o yield_v unto_o god_n his_o just_a honour_n yea_o although_o present_a death_n be_v before_o his_o eye_n although_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n burn_v against_o he_o yet_o we_o see_v as_o we_o have_v say_v how_o he_o give_v unto_o god_n his_o honour_n so_o the_o same_o in_o this_o place_n be_v repeat_v behold_v say_v he_o i_o know_v that_o for_o my_o sake_n this_o great_a tempest_n be_v ligted_a upon_o you_o he_o certain_o murmur_v not_o against_o god_n that_o upon_o himself_o take_v all_o the_o blame_n this_o therefore_o be_v the_o true_a confession_n of_o repentance_n when_o as_o we_o acknowledge_v god_n and_o willing_o also_o witness_v before_o man_n that_o he_o be_v just_a although_o to_o our_o fleshly_a sense_n he_o seem_v cruel_o to_o rage_n against_o we_o when_o as_o we_o geve_v unto_o he_o the_o praise_n of_o righteousness_n then_o true_o do_v we_o show_v our_o repentance_n for_o except_v the_o anger_n of_o god_n constrain_v we_o to_o this_o humility_n always_o we_o shall_v be_v fill_v with_o bitterness_n and_o howsoever_o we_o wax_v silent_a for_o a_o time_n our_o heart_n notwithstanding_o will_v be_v contemptuous_a and_o
