his_o stony_a heart_n be_v open_v and_o stream_n of_o tear_n gush_v out_o the_o bitter_a but_o wholesome_a tear_n of_o true_a repentance_n and_o that_o this_o may_v appear_v to_o be_v so_o i_o think_v

hand_n of_o god_n also_o work_v in_o they_o and_o by_o they_o manifest_o 2._o for_o the_o time_n of_o it_o that_o though_o it_o be_v a_o deathbed_n repentance_n and_o therefore_o full_a of_o danger_n and_o the_o utmost_a hazard_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o impossible_a to_o be_v true_a nor_o absolute_o desperate_a 3._o for_o the_o sincerity_n of_o it_o that_o what_o be_v thus_o possible_a to_o be_v good_a and_o true_a probable_o be_v so_o which_o though_o none_o but_o god_n that_o see_v the_o heart_n can_v tell_v certain_o yet_o man_n even_o also_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o believe_v it_o not_o only_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n but_o of_o moral_a justice_n from_o all_o evident_a sign_n of_o it_o which_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v give_v by_o one_o in_o his_o condition_n and_o first_o for_o the_o mean_n or_o method_n of_o it_o that_o which_o prepare_v the_o way_n for_o it_o be_v a_o sharp_a and_o painful_a sickness_n with_o which_o god_n be_v please_v to_o visit_v he_o the_o way_n which_o the_o almighty_a often_o take_v to_o reduce_v the_o wander_a sinner_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o himself_o i_o will_v be_v unto_o ephraim_n as_o a_o lion_n and_o as_o a_o young_a lion_n unto_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n i_o even_o i_o will_v tear_v and_o go_v away_o and_o none_o shall_v relieve_v he_o i_o will_v go_v and_o return_v to_o my_o place_n till_o they_o acknowledge_v their_o offence_n and_o seek_v my_o face_n and_o in_o their_o affliction_n they_o will_v seek_v i_o early_o hos._n 5.14_o 15._o and_o though_o to_o forsake_v our_o sin_n then_o when_o we_o can_v no_o long_o enjoy_v they_o seem_v to_o be_v rather_o the_o effect_n of_o impotency_n and_o necessity_n than_o of_o choice_n and_o so_o not_o so_o acceptable_a or_o praiseworthy_a yet_o we_o find_v god_n almighty_n use_v the_o one_o to_o bring_v about_o the_o other_o and_o improve_v a_o force_a abstinence_n from_o sin_n into_o a_o settle_a loathe_n and_o true_a detestation_n of_o it_o of_o which_o i_o shall_v give_v two_o note_a instance_n the_o first_o out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o that_o famous_a case_n of_o manasseh_n 2_o chron._n 33._o the_o near_a parallel_n that_o i_o can_v find_v both_o to_o the_o sin_n and_o repentance_n of_o the_o person_n now_o before_o we_o when_o he_o do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n more_o than_o all_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n before_o he_o and_o have_v make_v judah_n and_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n to_o err_v and_o do_v worse_o than_o the_o heathen_a who_o the_o lord_n have_v destroy_v before_o they_o yet_o we_o see_v god_n make_v use_n even_o of_o this_o way_n to_o reduce_v he_o to_o true_a repentance_n for_o we_o read_v at_o the_o 11._o v_o of_o this_o chapter_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n bring_v upon_o they_o the_o captain_n of_o the_o host_n of_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n which_o take_v manasseh_n among_o the_o thorn_n and_o bind_v he_o with_o fetter_n and_o carry_v he_o to_o babylon_n and_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n when_o he_o be_v in_o affliction_n he_o beseech_v the_o lord_n his_o god_n and_o humble_v himself_o great_o before_o the_o god_n of_o his_o father_n and_o pray_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o be_v entreat_v of_o he_o and_o hear_v his_o supplication_n and_o bring_v he_o again_o to_o jerusalem_n and_o unto_o his_o

the_o follow_a reformation_n which_o he_o wrought_v for_o he_o take_v away_o the_o strange_a god_n v_o 15._o the_o second_o instance_n i_o shall_v give_v of_o a_o true_a though_o force_a repentance_n be_v in_o that_o well_o know_a case_n of_o the_o prodigal_a son_n which_o follow_v my_o text_n in_o this_o chapter_n though_o he_o have_v waste_v all_o his_o substance_n with_o riotous_a live_n and_o

for_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n we_o be_v chastened_a of_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v condemn_v with_o the_o world_n whilst_o those_o who_o be_v reserve_v for_o destruction_n hereafter_o do_v usual_o in_o this_o life_n come_v into_o no_o misfortune_n nor_o be_v plague_v like_o other_o man_n for_o god_n do_v not_o afflict_v any_o willing_o nor_o grieve_v the_o child_n of_o

this_o life_n without_o disturbance_n and_o because_o the_o day_n of_o darkness_n must_v be_v many_o therefore_o do_v he_o suffer_v the_o sinner_n many_o time_n to_o die_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a that_o he_o may_v take_v his_o full_a swinge_n of_o what_o he_o have_v set_v his_o affection_n upon_o and_o after_o a_o long_a and_o prosperous_a life_n here_o without_o any_o check_n in_o his_o
