repentance_n day_n by_o day_n but_o be_v forewarn_v by_o a_o great_a than_o jonah_n let_v we_o at_o least_o be_v wise_a as_o the_o ninnevite_n to_o turn_v whilst_o we_o have_v space_n from_o our_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v find_v mercy_n for_o god_n resist_v the_o proud_a and_o exalt_v the_o lowly_a and_o meek_a and_o indeed_o humiliation_n and_o a_o godly_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n turn_v the_o very_a edge_n of_o his_o anger_n for_o when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n have_v commit_v that_o great_a sin_n of_o forsake_v their_o live_a strength_n and_o make_v to_o themselves_o a_o golden_a calf_n in_o horeb_n like_v to_o the_o god_n of_o egypt_n they_o mourn_v and_o no_o man_n put_v on_o his_o ornament_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v unto_o moses_n say_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n you_o be_v a_o stiff-necked_a people_n i_o will_v come_v up_o unto_o thou_o in_o a_o moment_n and_o consume_v thou_o therefore_o now_o put_v off_o thy_o ornament_n from_o thou_o that_o i_o may_v know_v what_o to_o do_v unto_o thou_o exod_n 33.4.5_o and_o this_o alone_a can_v move_v compassion_n in_o the_o heavenly_a mind_n when_o so_o sensible_o provoke_v by_o so_o great_a a_o affront_n so_o quick_o offer_v the_o divine_a majesty_n who_o have_v wrought_v such_o wonder_n for_o their_o sake_n in_o egypt_n and_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o a_o bondage_n they_o long_o have_v groan_v and_o

for_o you_o and_o how_o in_o return_n for_o such_o transcendent_a goodness_n he_o expect_v all_o your_o service_n and_o will_v not_o value_v the_o price_n of_o his_o precious_a blood_n at_o so_o low_a
