god_n mercy_n that_o he_o deal_v thus_o with_o the_o soul_n of_o poor_a sinner_n it_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o that_o passage_n in_o the_o 15._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n there_o the_o master_n of_o the_o vineyard_n call_v the_o labourer_n together_o and_o they_o receive_v every_o man_n a_o penny_n now_o they_o that_o come_v first_o and_o have_v bear_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o day_n when_o they_o see_v that_o they_o which_o come_v last_o have_v as_o much_o as_o they_o they_o murmur_v against_o the_o master_n of_o the_o vineyard_n say_v these_o last_o have_v wrought_v but_o one_o hour_n and_o thou_o have_v make_v they_o equal_a unto_o we_o which_o have_v bear_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o day_n but_o then_o the_o master_n answer_v say_v friend_n i_o do_v thou_o no_o wrong_n be_v it_o not_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o do_v what_o i_o will_v with_o my_o own_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o call_v thou_o at_o the_o three_o hour_n and_o he_o at_o the_o six_o hour_n and_o this_o man_n at_o the_o eleven_o hour_n it_o be_v out_o of_o my_o mercy_n that_o i_o call_v thou_o and_o out_o of_o my_o mercy_n that_o i_o call_v he_o be_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o do_v what_o i_o will_v with_o my_o own_o mercy_n be_v i_o and_o love_n be_v i_o and_o reward_n be_v i_o it_o be_v my_o mercy_n that_o i_o will_v call_v any_o at_o any_o time_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v dispose_v of_o it_o as_o i_o please_v second_o as_o the_o lord_n do_v express_v hereby_o the_o freeness_n of_o his_o grace_n so_o the_o lord_n also_o hereby_o do_v mervelous_o magnify_v his_o great_a power_n and_o all-sufficiency_n in_o save_v the_o soul_n of_o poor_a people_n that_o be_v able_a to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n and_o so_o likewise_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o servant_n there_o be_v many_o little_a one_o that_o be_v fool_n and_o have_v no_o knowledge_n and_o yet_o the_o lord_n be_v able_a to_o convert_v they_o and_o make_v they_o understand_v the_o mystery_n of_o salvation_n there_o be_v many_o strong_a man_n that_o snuffle_v up_o the_o wind_n like_o the_o ass_n in_o the_o wilderness_n they_o will_v not_o stoop_v they_o will_v not_o be_v humble_v but_o they_o will_v do_v what_o they_o listen_v and_o yet_o the_o lord_n be_v able_a to_o over_o power_n this_o sturdy_a heart_n of_o a_o young_a and_o strong_a man_n and_o he_o be_v able_a to_o support_v the_o weak_a nature_n of_o a_o young_a one_o and_o so_o man_n that_o be_v weatherbeaten_a in_o their_o sin_n and_o screw_v into_o their_o corruption_n god_n be_v able_a to_o overpower_v these_o and_o convert_v these_o also_o and_o bring_v they_o home_o unto_o himself_o if_o he_o be_v a_o weak_a silly_a child_n yet_o god_n be_v able_a to_o inlighten_v he_o if_o he_o have_v a_o sturdy_a heart_n yet_o god_n can_v bring_v he_o down_o and_o if_o he_o be_v a_o weatherbeaten_a and_o a_o old_a sinner_n yet_o god_n be_v able_a to_o call_v he_o and_o convert_v he_o also_o and_o hereby_o the_o wonderful_a power_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v see_v in_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o work_v how_o he_o will_v when_o he_o will_v and_o upon_o who_o he_o will_v in_o this_o kind_n look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o physician_n when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o disease_n which_o lie_v low_a in_o his_o body_n and_o breed_v rottenness_n in_o his_o bone_n insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v almost_o past_a cure_n than_o the_o physician_n that_o can_v recover_v this_o man_n show_v admirable_a skill_n and_o he_o show_v admirable_a power_n in_o regard_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o provide_v such_o mean_n and_o apply_v such_o mean_n as_o thereby_o the_o party_n may_v be_v cure_v by_o this_o mean_v the_o skill_n of_o the_o physician_n and_o the_o power_n of_o he_o be_v magnify_v so_o it_o be_v with_o this_o great_a god_n when_o all_o sort_n of_o sinner_n be_v call_v and_o all_o corruption_n subdue_v your_o little_a one_o that_o know_v nothing_o yet_o god_n inlighten_v they_o and_o support_v they_o timothy_n do_v suck_v the_o sincere_a milk_n of_o the_o gospel_n on_o one_o side_n as_o he_o do_v suck_v the_o milk_n of_o his_o mother_n breast_n on_o the_o other_o side_n and_o then_o there_o be_v a_o stubborn_a heart_n on_o another_o side_n which_o break_v all_o bond_n and_o snap_n all_o cord_n apiece_o h●e_v care_n for_o nothing_o he_o will_v be_v rule_v by_o no_o man_n and_o then_o there_o be_v your_o old_a forlorn_a sinner_n his_o sin_n be_v become_v a_o rottenness_n in_o his_o bone_n old_a incanl●●ed_a pride_n and_o incancred_a covetousness_n and_o malice_n god_n now_o to_o conquer_v all_o these_o and_o help_v these_o do_v not_o this_o show_n admirable_a power_n in_o the_o lord_n 〈◊〉_d to_o work_n and_o thus_o to_o order_v thing_n for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n so_o that_o we_o see_v that_o god_n do_v and_o can_v call_v in_o all_o age_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o next_o passage_n and_o that_o be_v this_o however_o the_o lord_n do_v at_o several_a time_n convert_v several_a of_o his_o servant_n and_o there_o be_v no_o time_n allot_v to_o he_o yet_o most_o and_o most_o usual_o god_n do_v call_v they_o before_o their_o old_a age_n and_o that_o some_o interpreter_n witty_o observe_v out_o of_o the_o text_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o master_n of_o the_o vineyard_n go_v out_o at_o the_o three_o sixth_o and_o nine_o hour_n and_o see_v some_o stand_a idle_a and_o he_o send_v they_o into_o his_o vineyard_n he_o go_v then_o on_o purpose_n to_o see_v and_o hire_v and_o send_v in_o labourer_n to_o work_v in_o his_o vineyard_n but_o the_o text_n say_v he_o go_v out_o at_o the_o eleven_o hour_n not_o to_o hire_v any_o for_o he_o do_v not_o expect_v to_o see_v any_o then_o idle_a but_o he_o go_v out_o upon_o some_o other_o occasion_n and_o see_v some_o then_o stand_v idle_a he_o wonder_v at_o it_o and_o say_v why_o stand_v you_o all_o the_o day_n idle_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v no_o man_n will_v hire_v you_o now_o it_o be_v but_o one_o hour_n to_o night_n it_o be_v time_n for_o man_n to_o leave_v work_v and_o not_o to_o begin_v to_o work_v he_o go_v out_o occasional_o and_o meet_v with_o these_o unexpected_a he_o wonder_v at_o these_o and_o therefore_o they_o observe_v that_o if_o there_o have_v not_o be_v great_a mercy_n in_o the_o master_n of_o the_o vineyard_n this_o be_v no_o time_n to_o hire_v labourer_n in_o so_o that_o the_o case_n be_v clear_a some_o be_v call_v in_o their_o youth_n some_o in_o their_o middle_a age_n some_o in_o their_o old_a age_n some_o in_o their_o tender_a year_n some_o in_o their_o ripe_a age_n some_o old_a some_o young_a but_o this_o be_v most_o true_a than_o those_o who_o god_n do_v call_v it_o be_v most_o common_o in_o their_o middle_a age_n before_o they_o come_v to_o their_o old_a age_n this_o be_v the_o general_a course_n of_o god_n he_o call_v many_o before_o some_z after_z but_o most_o then_o eccles_n 3.1_o there_o the_o wise_a man_n observe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n appoint_v for_o every_o purpose_n and_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o middle_a age_n be_v the_o fit_a time_n for_o this_o purpose_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o all_o thing_n depend_v upon_o god_n will_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v wisdom_n in_o this_o god_n and_o he_o order_v thing_n according_a to_o wise_a doom_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o fit_a season_n wherein_o the_o lord_n shall_v deal_v thus_o gracious_o in_o convert_v of_o a_o sinner_n if_o we_o consider_v either_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n or_o the_o end_n of_o god_n give_v grace_n in_o both_o these_o respect_n first_o if_o we_o look_v to_o man_n and_o regard_n either_o the_o constitution_n of_o his_o body_n or_o the_o gift_n &_o quality_n of_o his_o mind_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o it_o be_v most_o fit_a for_o god_n to_o work_v upon_o he_o in_o his_o middle_a age_n he_o can_v do_v it_o and_o may_v do_v it_o at_o another_o time_n but_o that_o be_v the_o fit_a time_n and_o that_o first_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o his_o body_n for_o it_o be_v observe_v by_o philosopher_n that_o a_o man_n in_o his_o tender_a infancy_n live_v the_o life_n of_o a_o tree_n only_o he_o only_o eat_v and_o grow_v and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o little_a child_n in_o their_o swaddle_a clothes_n afterward_o when_o he_o come_v into_o further_a year_n when_o he_o come_v to_o be_v ten_o or_o twelve_o year_n old_a than_o he_o live_v the_o life_n of_o a_o beast_n he_o be_v take_v away_o with_o those_o object_n that_o be_v then_o most_o suitable_a to_o he_o for_o a_o child_n to_o consider_v of_o the_o mystery_n of_o life_n &_o salvation_n be_v

be_v enlighten_v the_o child_n happy_o repli_v alas_o father_n when_o i_o know_v no_o other_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o do_v no_o better_o but_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v once_o give_v we_o the_o truth_n let_v we_o walk_v in_o it_o i_o must_v follow_v the_o example_n of_o no_o man_n in_o this_o kind_n the_o minister_n tell_v i_o that_o there_o be_v no_o expectation_n of_o mercy_n unless_o i_o turn_v from_o my_o sin_n the_o text_n be_v plain_a and_o the_o minister_n say_v that_o we_o must_v walk_v in_o god_n commandment_n here_o if_o ever_o we_o mean_v to_o reign_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n hereafter_o oh_o then_o say_v the_o father_n i_o will_v the_o minister_n have_v be_v far_o enough_o off_o when_o he_o put_v this_o into_o your_o head_n and_o if_o he_o see_v that_o this_o will_v not_o

and_o pluck_v up_o by_o the_o root_n as_o saint_n jude_n speak_v upon_o he_o 12._o jude_n 12._o and_o he_o bid_v he_o see_v what_o he_o can_v do_v in_o this_o case_n and_o then_o he_o come_v and_o

upon_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o be_o very_o glad_a to_o hear_v it_o but_o yet_o be_v wary_a and_o wise_a though_o too_o much_o be_v too_o much_o in_o this_o case_n your_o head_n be_v not_o yet_o gray_a if_o you_o have_v have_v the_o experience_n that_o i_o have_v you_o will_v then_o perhaps_o know_v as_o much_o as_o i_o know_v be_v wise_a i_o say_v in_o this_o kind_n but_o i_o pray_v understand_v i_o aright_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v against_o holiness_n all_o this_o while_n i_o beseech_v you_o do_v not_o mistake_v i_o so_o for_o i_o be_o glad_a with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o change_n wrought_v in_o you_o and_o that_o you_o take_v up_o such_o a_o good_a course_n but_o this_o be_v that_o i_o say_v be_v religious_a and_o wise_a both_o together_o bless_v be_v god_n my_o friend_n we_o have_v a_o glorious_a church_n many_o wise_a man_n and_o yet_o they_o require_v not_o so_o much_o and_o they_o perform_v not_o so_o much_o they_o will_v drink_v and_o be_v merry_a and_o why_o shall_v you_o exact_v more_o than_o these_o wise_a man_n aye_fw-mi but_o repli_v the_o child_n i_o can_v tell_v what_o wise_a man_n say_v and_o what_o they_o do_v i_o must_v not_o do_v as_o they_o do_v but_o as_o god_n command_v the_o text_n say_v be_v you_o holy_a as_o i_o be_o holy_a and_o be_v you_o pure_a as_o christ_n be_v pure_a 1._o joh._n 3.3_o can_v a_o man_n be_v more_o holy_a than_o christ_n can_v a_o man_n be_v more_o pure_a than_o christ_n in_o this_o case_n i_o know_v not_o what_o man_n do_v but_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o word_n give_v no_o such_o allowance_n and_o now_o they_o think_v the_o matter_n be_v past_a hope_n when_o carnal_a counsel_n can_v prevail_v nor_o curse_a device_n take_v place_n than_o they_o think_v the_o matter_n be_v past_a cure_n and_o therefore_o they_o pursue_v he_o with_o deadly_a indignation_n they_o put_v such_o taunt_n upon_o he_o and_o follow_v he_o with_o such_o scoff_n that_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o poor_a creature_n be_v even_o weary_a and_o tire_v and_o so_o depart_v from_o his_o god_n and_o all_o good_a course_n and_o so_o he_o fall_v into_o wicked_a course_n again_o and_o run_v down_o headlong_o into_o hell_n and_o this_o be_v one_o cord_n which_o the_o wicked_a the_o devil_n factor_n lay_v upon_o a_o poor_a sinner_n to_o pluck_v he_o from_o god_n you_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o you_o must_v see_v into_o these_o thing_n and_o be_v humble_v for_o this_o or_o else_o you_o must_v look_v to_o suffer_v that_o judgement_n which_o be_v due_a to_o the_o commission_n of_o this_o sin_n you_o must_v know_v you_o go_v professe_o against_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o a_o miserable_a condition_n second_o if_o this_o cord_n be_v break_v than_o the_o lord_n have_v another_o cord_n the_o lord_n make_v a_o sinner_n apprehend_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n he_o hear_v the_o minister_n how_o he_o speak_v of_o god_n wonderful_a love_n and_o goodness_n in_o that_o he_o will_v not_o only_o accept_v poor_a sinner_n and_o entertain_v they_o when_o they_o come_v but_o command_v they_o to_o come_v and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o entreat_v and_o beseech_v they_o to_o come_v and_o receive_v mercy_n from_o he_o nay_o he_o wait_v for_o our_o amendment_n and_o cry_n out_o oh_o when_o will_v it_o once_o be_v and_o when_o a_o poor_a sinner_n hear_v this_o this_o even_o melt_v his_o heart_n and_o he_o resolve_v never_o to_o follow_v his_o sin_n more_o and_o then_o he_o come_v home_o and_o tell_v his_o father_n or_o his_o master_n what_o wonderful_a goodness_n god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o make_v know_v unto_o he_o ay_o say_v he_o can_v not_o have_v think_v so_o much_o i_o can_v not_o have_v conceive_v so_o much_o what_o that_o god_n shall_v stoop_v to_o man_n and_o majesty_n to_o misery_n that_o god_n shall_v not_o only_o offer_v grace_n and_o give_v a_o sinner_n leave_v to_o take_v grace_n but_o that_o god_n shall_v follow_v such_o a_o wretch_n as_o i_o be_o with_o mercy_n and_o entreat_v i_o to_o be_v save_v what_o admirable_a and_o wonderful_a goodness_n be_v this_o father_n or_o master_n shall_v i_o be_v so_o unnatural_a as_o to_o neglect_v this_o mercy_n and_o kindness_n oh_o let_v it_o never_o be_v for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n sake_n thus_o the_o father_n or_o the_o master_n see_v his_o child_n or_o his_o

labour_n to_o pluck_v away_o this_o cord_n with_o another_o and_o therefore_o thus_o he_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o mercy_n endless_a boundless_a mercy_n with_o the_o lord_n therefore_o let_v we_o make_v use_n of_o this_o mercy_n son_n and_o let_v we_o take_v this_o goodness_n servant_n in_o this_o case_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o only_o provide_v for_o the_o good_a of_o our_o soul_n but_o for_o the_o good_a of_o our_o body_n also_o as_o the_o lord_n require_v that_o we_o shall_v perform_v service_n to_o he_o so_o he_o require_v also_o that_o

not_o require_v such_o exactness_n of_o you_o that_o thereby_o you_o shall_v impoverish_v your_o estate_n beware_v therefore_o of_o too_o much_o preciseness_n i_o say_v lest_o you_o bring_v thereby_o
