nor will be weary of doing them good the beginning of his mercy was in everlasting and the end of it shall be in everlasting it began before time and shall continue after time is ended without end Psal 103.17 He gave them the best gift he had to give the measure of which love cannot be expressed but is set down in a grosse summe as inexpressible so God loved the world John 3.16 He gave his Son his begotten Son therefore his own Son a naturall son his onely begotten son he had no other so he loved his people if any can tell the measure of that love To fasten this reproof upon us let us consider Gods wayes of willingnes and delight towards us 1. When we have wearied him with our sinnes he is willing to pardon them Isai 43.24.25 yea he delighteth in this mercy Micah 7.18 he will abundantly pardon Isai 55.7 a signe of delight at that time when our hearts are weary and heavy l●●den with our sinnes he will pardon and give us rest Matth. 1● ●8 His abundant willingnes appeares in that 1. He invit●th us to come to him in our weary condition 2. He chargeth his Ministers to urge and presse comfort upon us to take no deniall Isai 40.1.2 Comfort ye Comfort ye speake comf●r●ably speake till they heare till they be comforted 3. He giveth his Ministers the tongue of the learned to speake a w●rd in sea on in the fittest time to the weary soul Isai 50.1 4. He creates the fruit of the lips peace Isai 57.19 whilst the Minister speakes peace he creates peace by his Almighty power he makes the fruit of the lips of his servants to be peace to the troubled soul as when Eli bid troubled Hannah Goe in peace and the Lord grant her petition she had peace to goe with for she did eat and her countenance was no more sad 2. He gives us refreshing comforts in that very worship of his in which we are weary Psal 36.8 abundantly satisfie us with the fatnes of his house and make us to drinke of the river of his pleasures He gives us the choisest most excellent delights Isai 25.6 fat things full of marrow wines on the lees well refined He invites us unto these places of delights that there he might give us his loves Cant. 7.11.12 and when we are there he gives us rich welcome Cant. 5.1 eat o friends drinke yea drinke abundantly o beloved Isai 55.3 eat ye that which is good and let your soul delight it selfe in fatnes 3. He accompanieth us in our afflicted weary conditions when Israel was a burning bush in Egypt the Angel of the Lord appeared in a flame of fire in the midst of the bush Exod. 3.2 He dwelt in the midst of the bush with good will to preserve them as he did the three children Dan. 3.24 25 28. He is as it were wearied in their weary condition Isai 63.9 He was afflicted Judg. 10.16 His soul was greived Jer. 31.20 His bowels were troubled He gives them refreshing delightfull comforts in their weary conditions Psal 119.92 Gods law was Davids delight Psal 94.19 Psal 41.3 God doth strengthen them upon the bed of languishing and turne their bed to make it easie in sicknes He turnes our mourning into dancing takes away our sackcloth and girdeth us with gladnes Psal 30.11 turneth our fasts into feasts Zech. 8.19 makes sorrow and sighing flee away Isai 51.11 makes us to forget our troubl●s and sorrows Job 11.16 4. These wayes of Gods willingnes and delight towards us are not limited to some times of our life and some speciall conditions and occasions but carried along the whole race of our life and that we may be confident of with David Psal 23.6 Surely goodnesse and mercy shall follow me all the dayes of my life they are therefore stiled sure mercies an everlasting coven●nt Isai 55.3 These refreshings are renewed as his Ordinances and our afflictions are renewed And if so much refreshment be given out on this side heaven in time of our absence from God in time of our pilgrimage what is in heaven reserved in the presence of God as our wellcome home as the wages of all our weary work and affliction especially as the perfection of our communion with Christ our head in heavenly delights who drunk the dregs of sorrow for our sake Compare Gods willingnes towards us with our wearines in his service that we may the better see our sin and be filled with shame No work hath that delight that assistance that incouragement that reward yet we are weary Look back to the daies of our youth and see what delightfull work sin was what time pains spent therein We could finde meat drink sleep work rest and recreation in sin yea so great was our delight in sin that it is very hard not to think with delight of what delight we formerly found in sin This considered we may break out with Paul Rom. 7.24 O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of death This heavy tiring body of death 3. To exhort us to labour the redresse of this wearines in Gods worship which causeth us to put off God with so unworthy unwellcome unacceptable service And let me first speak to them who are in an unregenerate condition if so be it might please God I might prevaile with them in two things 1. To grow out of love with themselves 2. To grow in love with the Image of God 1. There is great cause we should grow out of love with our selves be weary of our selves if we consider our natures will not nay cannot suffer us to do God any good service for they cannot be willing unto it or cheerfull in it should I ask any man that believes there is a God and that God made him and bestowed upon him all he hath he would say he were to be worshipped in the best manner but then come to the heart for a will unto Gods service and chear in it and it will not nay cannot yeild it Rom. 8.7 The carnall minde is enmity against God and he proves it by the affection it hath to his will for it is not subject to the law of God nor indeed can be it neither doth nor can come under the command of God subject and submit unto it that what it requireth shall be done willingly and cheerfully See it in an instance the little family religion that is I say not amongst heathens but amongst them that have lived long under the preaching of the Word and even in this place Men cannot but be convinced that it is a duty to read the Word and to pray in their families and they cannot but think it is good sometimes at least yet it is not done they cannot fall to it How comes that to passe their hearts will not suffer them they have no minde they have no delight therein It may be they will say they are unable and that hinders them but that is but
