they_o caluin_n one_o thing_n escape_v i_o in_o the_o third_o verse_n jonas_n say_v that_o the_o city_n nineveh_n be_v a_o great_a city_n unto_o god_n this_o manner_n of_o speak_v be_v sufficient_o

other_o it_o be_v most_o famous_a for_o this_o cause_n i_o will_v brief_o touch_v this_o because_o certain_a man_n very_o subtle_o but_o very_o chyldish_o almost_o call_v it_o the_o city_n of_o god_n 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

gather_v that_o jonas_n so_o denounce_v destruction_n unto_o they_o that_o with_o all_o he_o show_v that_o god_n be_v the_o revenger_n of_o all_o offence_n &_o rebuke_v the_o ninevit●_n and_o as_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

acknowledge_v the_o worthy_o they_o suffer_v punishment_n and_o this_o be_v a_o preparation_n to_o humility_n &_o repentance_n ●●ch_a of_o these_o thing_n be_v easy_o gather_v out_o of_o this_o word_n 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 have_v they_o be_v let_v we_o know_v therefore_o that_o jonas_n so_o much_o foretell_v of_o his_o call_n that_o the_o ninevite_n hold_v for_o certainty_n that_o he_o be_v a_o celestial_a preacher_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 noah_n conceive_v by_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n out_o of_o faith_n he_o teach_v that_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o it_o proceed_v from_o thence_o and_o yet_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n must_v be_v by_o some_o other_o mean_v raise_v up_o then_o by_o the_o threaten_n to_o build_v the_o ark_n to_o be_v for_o he_o a_o sanctuary_n of_o safeguard_n so_o also_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 worthy_o be_v call_v to_o pain_n &_o punishment_n they_o have_v be_v confuse_v &_o dismay_v with_o terror_n &_o never_o have_v aspire_v to_o the_o desire_v of_o pardon_n when_o as_o therefore_o they_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 repentance_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n but_o that_o there_o be_v mingle_v with_o all_o soul_n ta●●_n of_o grace_n ▪_o so_o they_o believe_v god_n because_o although_o they_o understand_v that_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 may_v certain_o think_v that_o they_o profit_v more_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o jonas_n then_o that_o they_o shall_v only_o understand_v that_o they_o be_v culpable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n

to_o pray_v unto_o god_n be_v the_o only_a remedy_n in_o all_o affliction_n and_o misery_n if_o we_o therefore_o be_v teach_v both_o in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o use_v this_o

therefore_o ought_v this_o edict_n of_o the_o king_n to_o strike_v into_o we_o then_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v but_o even_o simple_o utter_v this_o doctrine_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o

unto_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n for_o here_o he_o exhort_v that_o they_o shall_v convert_v from_o their_o wicked_a way_n by_o the_o word_n way_n the_o scripture_n be_v accustom_v to_o understand_v the_o whole_a course_n or_o order_n of_o man_n life_n it_o be_v as_o much_o therefore_o as_o it_o he_o say_v let_v each_o of_o you_o change_v his_o disposition_n and_o manner_n let_v we_o all_o be_v

the_o thief_n and_o principal_a virtue_n consist_v in_o equity_n &_o justice_n that_o be_v when_o man_n live_v among_o themselves_o mutual_o without_o any_o wrong_n or_o injury_n and_o i_o will_v to_o

and_o repent_v and_o turn_v away_o from_o the_o fierceness_n of_o his_o wrath_n that_o we_o perish_v not_o caluin_n here_o also_o more_o plain_o be_v the_o mind_n &_o intent_n of_o the_o king_n

then_o if_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o faith_n it_o be_v also_o far_o from_o repentance_n for_o repentance_n and_o faith_n be_v thing_n couple_v together_o as_o we_o have_v say_v in_o other_o place_n for_o no_o man_n can_v of_o his_o own_o accord_n submit_v himself_o unto_o god_n unless_o first_o he_o have_v taste_v of_o his_o goodness_n and_o second_o have_v conceive_v hope_n of_o salvation_n for_o he_o that_o be_v only_o strike_v with_o terror_n will_v flee_v the_o presence_n and_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o so_o on_o every_o side_n of_o he_o reign_v desperation_n and_o then_o follow_v can●●macie_n and_o rebellion_n question_n now_o then_o how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o the_o king_n of_o nineveh_n indeed_o and_o without_o counterfeit_a or_o do_v repent_v and_o yet_o doubt_o entreat_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v a_o

let_v for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n be_v cast_v down_o with_o terror_n and_o afterward_o take_v heart_n to_o he_o have_v set_v before_o he_o the_o hope_n of_o pardon_n and_o salvation_n yet_o by_o and_o by_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v void_a of_o all_o fear_n because_o as_o long_o as_o he_o behold_v his_o sin_n and_o be_v also_o enwrap_v in_o other_o thought_n and_o cogitation_n he_o shall_v waver_v and_o be_v diverse_o toss_v in_o mind_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n therefore_o but_o that_o the_o king_n of_o nineveh_n conceive_v hope_n of_o salvation_n &_o safeguard_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n be_v perplex_v in_o mind_n as_o well_o for_o the_o preach_n of_o jonas_n as_o for_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o his_o own_o sin_n two_o let_v we_o therefore_o there_o be_v which_o may_v call_v back_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o king_n from_o assurance_n and_o certainty_n of_o his_o safeguard_n or_o at_o the_o least_o may_v stay_v he_o that_o sudden_o he_o shall_v not_o apprehend_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o with_o a_o quiet_a mind_n may_v think_v that_o god_n will_v be_v propitiouse_a unto_o he_o the_o first_o let_v be_v that_o terrible_a sermon_n of_o jonas_n be_v this_o after_o forty_o day_n nineveh_n shall_v perish_v for_o although_o jonas_n may_v add_v some_o thing_n as_o we_o have_v say_v yet_o so_o precise_a be_v that_o threaten_v that_o it_o may_v dismay_v the_o mind_n of_o all_o man_n it_o behove_v the_o king_n therefore_o mighty_o to_o strive_v that_o he_o may_v overcome_v so_o great_a a_o let_v and_o repel_v &_o drive_v from_o he_o that_o terrible_a preach_n of_o jonas_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o be_v void_a of_o all_o comfort_n and_o consolation_n second_o the_o king_n when_o he_o ponder_v and_o weigh_v his_o sin_n may_v some_o what_o waver_v but_o we_o see_v how_o he_o endeavour_v to_o escape_v although_o he_o have_v these_o two_o impediment_n and_o hinderance_n before_o his_o eye_n because_o when_o he_o say_v who_o can_v tell_v whether_o god_n will_v turn_v away_o from_o the_o fierceness_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o repent_v when_o he_o say_v so_o i_o say_v we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v in_o a_o strong_a conflict_n because_o howsoever_o jonas_n seem_v to_o shut_v up_o from_o he_o the_o gate_n of_o mercy_n and_o to_o forbid_v &_o deny_v he_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n and_o safeguard_n howsoever_o also_o his_o own_o conscience_n keep_v he_o down_o and_o oppress_v he_o he_o yet_o proceed_v and_o prick_v himself_o forward_o and_o so_o final_o aspire_v unto_o hope_n of_o forgiveness_n 2.14_o again_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o this_o manner_n of_o speak_v who_o can_v tell_v etc_n etc_n note_v rather_o difficulty_n than_o diffidency_n for_o the_o king_n as_o it_o be_v doubt_o inquire_v who_o can_v tell_v whether_o god_n will_v turn_v himself_o because_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n that_o god_n after_o so_o long_a sufferance_n shall_v yet_o spare_v that_o so_o wicked_a a_o city_n the_o king_n therefore_o express_v a_o difficulty_n for_o this_o be_v not_o a_o sign_n of_o diffidency_n or_o distrust_n when_o he_o so_o demand_v and_o when_o in_o joel_n it_o be_v say_v who_o know_v etc_n etc_n it_o be_v altogether_o the_o like_a say_n and_o therefore_o say_v more_o when_o he_o expound_v that_o place_n but_o let_v this_o brief_o suffice_v we_o that_o the_o king_n do_v not_o bewray_v his_o distrust_n but_o rather_o express_v the_o difficulty_n and_o hardness_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o humility_n that_o he_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v drown_v in_o the_o deep_a gulf_n of_o hell_n with_o the_o people_n &_o yet_o cease_v not_o to_o hope_v the_o best_a for_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o hope_n when_o as_o a_o matter_n seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n yea_o though_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o natural_a reason_n yet_o we_o hope_v still_o well_o well_o we_o see_v now_o what_o be_v the_o understanding_n of_o these_o word_n of_o the_o repentance_n of_o god_n we_o will_v speak_v of_o it_o another_o time_n either_o to_o morrow_n or_o the_o next_o day_n it_o follow_v that_o we_o perish_v not_o we_o see_v how_o a_o king_n profane_a seek_v to_o redeem_v himself_o from_o destruction_n even_o by_o the_o pacify_v of_o god_n therefore_o as_o soon_o as_o any_o danger_n hang_v over_o we_o and_o be_v at_o hand_n let_v this_o come_v into_o our_o mind_n that_o no_o escape_n from_o the_o same_o may_v be_v find_v unless_o the_o lord_n receive_v we_o into_o favour_n even_o as_o the_o king_n of_o nineveh_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n seem_v to_o reason_n after_o this_o sort_n as_o soon_o as_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v propitious_a and_o pacify_v all_o thing_n shall_v fall_v out_o well_o we_o see_v therefore_o how_o much_o this_o

for_o by_o this_o we_o gather_v to_o what_o end_n the_o lord_n do_v solicit_v we_o to_o repentance_n which_o be_v even_o because_o he_o will_v be_v reconcile_v unto_o we_o and_o also_o reconcile_v

the_o judgement_n of_o god_n ought_v whole_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o this_o use_n even_o that_o we_o may_v come_v into_o favour_n with_o god_n because_o he_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v appease_v and_o be_v ready_a always_o to_o embrace_v those_o which_o unfeigned_o turn_v themselves_o unto_o he_o therefore_o in_o this_o example_n we_o understand_v that_o god_n respect_v nothing_o else_o as_o often_o
