the_o speech_n be_v bring_v unto_o the_o king_n as_o though_o the_o king_n have_v understand_v that_o the_o whole_a city_n be_v on_o a_o roar_n and_o move_v with_o the_o preach_n of_o jonas_n but_o the_o word_n admit_v a_o contrary_a sense_n and_o exposition_n even_o that_o the_o speech_n of_o jonas_n by_o and_o by_o come_v to_o the_o king_n ear_n and_o i_o rather_o incline_v to_o this_o exposition_n and_o judgement_n for_o jonas_n seem_v exegeticallie_o or_o expositinal_o to_o show_v how_o the_o ninevite_n put_v on_o sackcloth_n this_o he_o speak_v brief_o vers_fw-la 5._o and_o now_o he_o utter_v the_o same_o more_o large_o and_o we_o know_v that_o this_o order_n be_v much_o use_v among_o the_o hebrew_n to_o t●●th_n the_o sum_n of_o thing_n in_o few_o word_n and_o afterward_o to_o add_v the_o explication_n therefore_o because_o in_o the_o five_o verse_n jonas_n say_v that_o the_o ninevite_n be_v cover_v with_o sackcloth_n and_o proclaim_v a_o fast_a and_o now_o in_o this_o verse_n he_o seem_v to_o express_v more_o evident_o how_o this_o be_v do_v even_o by_o the_o king_n commandment_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v credible_a that_o the_o fast_o be_v not_o command_v in_o the_o king_n city_n appoint_v only_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o common_a people_n when_o as_o the_o king_n be_v there_o and_o his_o counselor_n because_o therefore_o it_o be_v more_o agreeable_a that_o the_o edict_n concern_v the_o fast_a proceed_v from_o the_o king_n therefore_o i_o willing_o do_v so_o ioygne_a these_o two_o verse_n together_o that_o the_o first_o may_v signify_v the_o fruit_n that_o follow_v of_o the_o preach_n of_o jonas_n and_o the_o latter_a may_v be_v add_v expositive_o because_o he_o declare_v the_o same_o thing_n more_o full_o now_o jonas_n say_v that_o therefore_o be_v the_o fast_o indict_v of_o the_o ninevite_n because_o the_o king_n with_o this_o counsel_n have_v so_o decree_v and_o so_o i_o do_v interpret_v the_o hebrew_n word_n by_o the_o preterpluperfect_a tense_n thus_o for_o the_o speech_n have_v come_v unto_o the_o king_n for_o the_o order_n and_o manner_n jonas_n now_o set_v down_o how_o the_o ninevite_n proclaim_v afast_n even_o because_o the_o king_n be_v admonish_v of_o the_o sermon_n of_o jonas_n and_o by_o and_o by_o call_v together_o his_o counselor_n this_o therefore_o be_v a_o public_a edict_n and_o not_o some_o rash_a raise_v motion_n as_o sometime_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v he_o say_v that_o the_o edict_n be_v publish_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o king_n and_o of_o his_o counsel_n or_o noble_n although_o some_o take_v the_o hebrew_n word_n for_o order_n of_o allowance_n the_o word_n signify_v to_o taste_v as_o jonas_n afterward_o use_v the_o word_n but_o here_o it_o be_v take_v by_o a_o metaphor_n for_o counsel_n and_o i_o do_v think_v that_o this_o sense_n better_o agree_v to_o this_o place_n but_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o matter_n itself_o that_o the_o king_n of_o so_o royal_a a_o city_n jonas_n yea_o the_o chief_a monarchy_n in_o those_o day_n yield_v himself_o so_o obedient_a at_o the_o preach_n of_o jonas_n it_o be_v sure_o worthy_a the_o note_n we_o see_v that_o king_n wax_v proud_a oftentimes_o because_o they_o think_v that_o they_o be_v exempt_v from_o the_o common_a fort_n of_o man_n and_o so_o lyfte_v they_o up_o themselves_o above_o law_n and_o hereby_o it_o come_v that_o they_o will_v make_v all_o thing_n lawful_a unto_o they_o and_o then_o while_o they_o let_v the_o reign_n lose_v to_o their_o own_o lust_n they_o take_v it_o grievous_o to_o be_v admonish_v or_o reprehend_v yea_o though_o it_o be_v by_o their_o equal_n but_o jonas_n a_o poor_a man_n &_o a_o foreigner_n that_o he_o therefore_o so_o affect_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o king_n by_o it_o certain_o appear_v the_o secret_a power_n of_o god_n which_o he_o place_v in_o his_o word_n as_o often_o as_o so_o it_o please_v he_o god_n true_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o his_o word_n work_v not_o equal_o that_o be_v keep_v not_o always_o one_o order_n or_o rule_v but_o when_o it_o seem_v good_a unto_o he_o so_o effectual_o touch_v he_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n that_o the_o good_a success_n that_o the_o word_n shall_v have_v pass_v all_o man_n imagination_n ▪_o even_o as_o in_o this_o place_n a_o worthy_a example_n of_o the_o same_o be_v set_v before_o we_o for_o who_o will_v have_v say_v that_o a_o profane_a king_n who_o live_v always_o as_o he_o list_v in_o who_o no_o true_a and_o sincere_a religion_n do_v reign_v in_o one_o moment_n can_v so_o be_v tame_v and_o more_o lay_v aside_o all_o glory_n of_o his_o kingdom_n will_v prostrate_v himself_o in_o the_o dust_n and_o put_v on_o sackcloth_n we_o see_v therefore_o that_o god_n not_o only_o speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o jonas_n but_o also_o thereto_o add_v efficacy_n unto_o his_o word_n but_o this_o be_v to_o be_v call_v to_o mind_v which_o christ_n speak_v 4●_o the_o man_n of_o nineveh_n shall_v rise_v up_o in_o the_o judgement_n against_o this_o people_n for_o they_o repent_v at_o the_o preach_n of_o jonas_n and_o behold_v a_o great_a than_o jonas_n be_v here_o day_o christ_n utter_v the_o voice_n of_o his_o gospel_n for_o although_o he_o be_v not_o after_o a_o visible_a manner_n conversant_a here_o among_o we_o yet_o he_o it_o be_v which_o by_o his_o minister_n do_v speak_v if_o we_o contemn_v this_o doctrine_n how_o shall_v our_o obstinacy_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n be_v excusable_a when_o the_o ninevite_n which_o never_o taste_v any_o true_a doctrine_n of_o piety_n which_o be_v endue_v with_o no_o knowledge_n in_o religion_n so_o soon_o be_v convert_v at_o the_o preach_n of_o jonas_n but_o that_o their_o repentance_n be_v serious_a we_o gather_v by_o this_o that_o the_o preach_n of_o jonas_n be_v very_o sharp_a for_o he_o denounce_v destruction_n to_o that_o most_o mighty_a city_n and_o this_o might_n by_o and_o by_o have_v bring_v the_o king_n mind_n unto_o madness_n and_o fury_n that_o therefore_o so_o gentle_o and_o with_o so_o small_a ado_n he_o be_v humble_v for_o certainty_n be_v a_o most_o rare_a alteration_n and_o change_n we_o have_v therefore_o a_o notable_a example_n of_o repentance_n that_o the_o king_n can_v so_o soon_o forget_v himself_o and_o his_o dignity_n and_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o lay_v aside_o his_o precious_a ro●be●_n he_o put_v sackcloth_n upon_o he_o now_o as_o touch_v fast_v and_o sackcloth_n it_o be_v certain_a and_o true_a that_o repentance_n consist_v not_o in_o these_o outward_a thing_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o joel._n for_o god_n care_v not_o for_o ceremony_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v glorious_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n the_o same_o be_v frivolous_a in_o his_o sight_n for_o he_o require_v the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o heart_n repentance_n therefore_o look_v what_o jonas_n here_o declare_v of_o fast_v &_o other_o exercise_n aught_o to_o be_v refer_v unto_o the_o lawful_a end_n why_o they_o be_v use_v even_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o ninevite_n will_v evident_o declare_v that_o they_o be_v culpable_a and_o worthy_o call_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n and_o next_o that_o they_o humble_o desire_v the_o favour_n of_o the_o judge_n fast_v therefore_o and_o sackcloth_n be_v only_o but_o a_o outward_a profession_n of_o repentance_n for_o if_o a_o man_n all_o his_o life_n long_o fast_o and_o put_v on_o sackcloth_n &_o wallow_v in_o the_o dust_n &_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n ioygn_v not_o with_o all_o the_o sincere_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n he_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o jest_n with_o god_n and_o trifle_n in_o his_o sight_n therefore_o of_o themselves_o these_o outward_a exercise_n shall_v be_v of_o small_a moment_n except_o the_o inward_a affection_n of_o the_o heart_n go_v before_o they_o and_o move_v man_n so_o to_o declare_v such_o testimony_n of_o their_o inward_a mind_n furthermore_o as_o often_o as_o the_o scripture_n make_v any_o mention_v of_o fast_v of_o ash_n end_n and_o sackcloth_n we_o must_v mark_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o as_o external_a and_o outward_a sign_n of_o repentance_n which_o if_o they_o be_v false_a nothing_o else_o do_v they_o but_o provoke_v the_o ire_n of_o god_n but_o if_o they_o be_v true_a they_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o end_n and_o not_o that_o of_o themselves_o they_o be_v of_o force_n to_o pacify_v god_n ire_n or_o to_o put_v away_o our_o sin_n now_o if_o any_o man_n will_v demand_v whether_o repentance_n bring_v with_o it_o fast_v sackcloth_n and_o ash_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a that_o the_o faithful_a all_o their_o whole_a life_n ought_v to_o meditate_v repentance_n therefore_o except_o each_o of_o we_o exercise_v himself_o in_o this_o continual_a study_n even_o that_o he_o renounce_v both_o himself_o
we_o shall_v perceive_v now_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hold_v that_o jonas_n teach_v among_o the_o israelit_n and_o this_o to_o be_v command_v he_o by_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o shall_v go_v down_o to_o the_o ninevite_n but_o of_o this_o commandment_n in_o due_a order_n we_o shall_v see_v more_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o hold_v this_o that_o he_o be_v not_o at_o that_o only_a time_n create_v a_o prophet_n when_o he_o be_v appoint_v a_o teacher_n to_o the_o ninevite_n but_o that_o he_o be_v then_o send_v to_o the_o ninevite_n when_o as_o long_a time_n he_o have_v bestow_v his_o labour_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o his_o church_n this_o book_n be_v partly_o historical_a and_o partly_o instruction_n or_o didascalye●_n for_o he_o declare_v what_o come_v to_o pass_v unto_o he_o after_o that_o he_o will_v fly_v from_o the_o call_n of_o god_n and_o afterward_o also_o what_o be_v the_o effect_n or_o end_n of_o his_o prophecy_n and_o all_o this_o be_v one_o part_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o show_v what_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n he_o be_v command_v to_o deliver_v or_o carry_v to_o the_o ninevite_n in_o the_o end_n he_o write_v a_o song_n of_o thanksgiving_n therefore_o this_o late_a part_n contain_v the_o doctrine_n and_o be_v not_o a_o simple_a narration_n only_o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o word_n chap._n 1._o the_o text_n ¶_o and_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o jonas_n the_o son_n of_o amittai_n say_v arise_v go_v to_o nineveh_n to_o that_o great_a city_n and_o cry_v against_o it_o because_o the_o wickedness_n of_o they_o be_v come_v up_o before_o my_o face_n caluin_n ionas_n seem_v here_o as_o i_o have_v touch_v already_o covert_o to_o note_n that_o he_o be_v before_o this_o time_n call_v to_o the_o office_n of_o

to_o come_v to_o jonas_n when_o he_o be_v send_v to_o nineveh_n but_o when_o he_o be_v a_o ordinary_a prophet_n the_o lord_n will_v also_o transfer_v his_o labour_n to_o other_o nation_n but_o that_o he_o be_v send_v unto_o nineveh_n it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o lord_n weary_a of_o the_o obstinacy_n of_o his_o own_o people_n will_v show_v a_o example_n of_o godly_a docility_n in_o a_o profane_a and_o incircumcised_a nation_n whereby_o he_o may_v make_v the_o israelite_n the_o more_o inexcusable_a they_o outward_o give_v honour_n to_o true_a piety_n they_o boast_v that_o they_o be_v a_o holy_a people_n circumcision_n be_v unto_o they_o a_o token_n and_o pledge_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n yet_o despise_v they_o all_o the_o prophet_n that_o teach_v with_o they_o may_v be_v unprofitable_a it_o be_v therefore_o propable_a that_o the_o prophet_n be_v take_v away_o from_o they_o that_o the_o ninevite_n with_o their_o example_n may_v augment_v the_o crime_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n for_o that_o in_o three_o day_n they_o be_v convert_v unto_o god_n after_o that_o jonas_n preach_v there_o but_o with_o the_o israelite_n and_o their_o gentile_n nothing_o long_o time_n he_o profit_v when_o as_o yet_o sufficient_o be_v his_o authority_n establish_v and_o that_o unto_o their_o profit_n as_o we_o have_v say_v of_o late_a for_o jonas_n prophesy_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n as_o yet_o shall_v continue_v although_o they_o be_v worthy_a to_o perish_v the_o lord_n yet_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o

unto_o they_o and_o i_o true_o do_v not_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o ingratitude_n of_o the_o people_n by_o this_o mean_n be_v increase_v see_v that_o the_o ninevite_n repent_v at_o the_o voice_n of_o jonas_n and_o that_o in_o short_a time_n but_o the_o israelite_n always_o continue_v harden_v in_o their_o stubbornness_n and_o therefore_o certain_a man_n more_o subtle_o then_o wise_o do_v expound_v this_o place_n of_o math._n 12._o this_o perverse_a generation_n seek_v a_o sign_n and_o there_o shall_v no_o sign_n be_v give_v unto_o it_o but_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o prophet_n jonas_n thus_o they_o say_v that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v transport_v unto_o the_o gentile_n even_o as_o jonas_n be_v lead_v away_o from_o his_o own_o nation_n and_o give_v a_o teacher_n unto_o foreign_a and_o profane_a nation_n and_o under_o that_o they_o will_v have_v to_o lie_v hide_v the_o call_n of_o the_o gentile_n many_o year_n to_o come_v as_o if_o christ_n say_v that_o he_o will_v after_o come_v to_o the_o gentile_n when_o he_o have_v prove_v the_o desperate_a wickedness_n of_o his_o elect_a people_n but_o because_o christ_n plain_o apply_v the_o similitude_n it_o be_v not_o our_o part_n this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n to_o draw_v his_o word_n and_o he_o restrain_v the_o figure_n to_o this_o one_o sense_n that_o be_v even_o as_o jonas_n be_v three_o day_n in_o the_o belly_n of_o the_o

after_o the_o resurrection_n so_o then_o will_v i_o begin_v to_o speak_v more_o effectuous_o aswell_o with_o the_o jew_n as_o with_o the_o gentile_n even_o as_o jonas_n convert_v nineveh_n when_o he_o be_v return_v to_o life_n this_o be_v therefore_o the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o this_o place_n therefore_o be_v not_o jonas_n a_o figure_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o he_o be_v send_v away_o unto_o the_o gentile_n but_o because_o after_o three_o day_n he_o be_v revive_v when_o he_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n a_o dead_a man_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v we_o see_v that_o jonas_n be_v appoint_v a_o

for_o this_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a thing_n therefore_o not_o as_o yet_o do_v god_n manifest_o show_v what_o thing_n he_o will_v do_v by_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n 15._o even_o as_o when_o

that_o they_o may_v be_v a_o people_n holy_a and_o elect_a but_o the_o author_n contrary_a opinion_n do_v say_v that_o the_o ninevite_n be_v turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n without_o circumcision_n that_o

unto_o we_o and_o this_o be_v that_o repentance_n of_o god_n let_v we_o remember_v therefore_o that_o this_o depend_v and_o be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o word_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v touch_v with_o repentance_n even_o because_o the_o ninevite_n can_v perceive_v none_o other_o but_o that_o god_n have_v full_o determine_v that_o they_o shall_v perish_v and_o why_o so_o even_o because_o so_o he_o have_v declare_v by_o his_o word_n but_o now_o when_o as_o they_o rise_v up_o unto_o the_o hope_n of_o their_o safeguard_n then_o do_v they_o perceive_v some_o change_n &_o

this_o do_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n chief_o shine_v that_o he_o be_v appease_v so_o soon_o as_o man_n repent_v and_o also_o in_o that_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o father_n unto_o they_o

again_o speak_v dissemble_o shall_v by_o and_o by_o open_a hell_n and_o by_o and_o by_o heaven_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o against_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n than_o such_o dissimulation_n we_o see_v then_o why_o jonas_n be_v carry_v away_o with_o so_o great_a sorrow_n he_o respect_v not_o himself_o but_o because_o he_o see_v a_o occasion_n give_v or_o a_o door_n lay_v open_a to_o wicked_a blasphemy_n if_o god_n shall_v alter_v his_o determination_n or_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v constant_a in_o his_o word_n here_o hence_o i_o say_v come_v that_o so_o great_a sorrow_n but_o although_o this_o be_v a_o very_a good_a reason_n 3._o yet_o we_o gather_v of_o what_o force_n our_o good_a intent_n be_v with_o god_n if_o any_o good_a intent_n may_v be_v imagine_v certain_o this_o may_v deserve_v some_o praise_n that_o jonas_n have_v rather_o a_o hundred_o time_n to_o die_v then_o to_o here_o those_o wicked_a blasphemy_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v a_o mere_a laugh_a stock_n that_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n be_v fable_n that_o god_n do_v but_o dissemble_v this_o or_o that_o as_o it_o he_o shall_v transfigure_v himself_o into_o diverse_a form_n this_o be_v a_o excellent_a intent_n if_o we_o may_v be_v judge_n or_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v esteem_v according_a to_o our_o sense_n but_o by_o and_o by_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o it_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n let_v we_o learn_v therefore_o not_o to_o arrogate_v unto_o ourselves_o judgement_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o pass_v our_o capacity_n but_o to_o submit_v our_o mind_n unto_o god_n and_o to_o desire_v of_o he_o the_o spirit_n of_o discretion_n and_o judgement_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o jonas_n so_o shall_v fret_v against_o god_n but_o that_o he_o be_v inflame_v with_o the_o study_n of_o his_o glory_n but_o this_o be_v a_o inconsiderate_a zeal_n because_o he_o himself_o will_v be_v arbiter_n and_o judge_n he_o ought_v rather_o to_o have_v submit_v himself_o unto_o god_n and_o this_o same_o rule_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v of_o we_o all_o if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o see_v many_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v from_o above_o that_o be_v by_o the_o secret_a providence_n of_o god_n which_o do_v even_o lie_v open_v the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o the_o blasphemy_n of_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n this_o true_o be_v to_o be_v lament_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n let_v we_o desire_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v at_o the_o length_n convert_v those_o reproach_n unto_o his_o own_o glory_n but_o let_v not_o we_o murmur_v &_o grudge_n as_o many_o do_v which_o by_o and_o by_o begin_v to_o chide_v against_o god_n as_o often_o as_o a_o thing_n be_v otherwise_o govern_v and_o direct_v than_o they_o themselves_o list_v or_o do_v think_v convenient_a let_v we_o learn_v by_o the_o example_n of_o jonas_n not_o to_o measure_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n by_o our_o own_o capacity_n but_o let_v we_o patient_o weight_n till_o he_o convert_v the_o darkness_n into_o light_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n also_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o obey_v his_o commandment_n to_o follow_v his_o call_n without_o controversy_n although_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v set_v themselves_o against_o we_o although_o many_o thing_n do_v come_v in_o our_o way_n which_o may_v turn_v we_o away_o from_o the_o right_a course_n yet_o let_v we_o continue_v in_o this_o sure_a determination_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v better_o for_o we_o then_o that_o we_o be_v obedient_a may_v go_v forward_o in_o the_o same_o way_n which_o he_o set_v before_o we_o but_o where_o as_o he_o say_v that_o he_o make_v haste_n to_o come_v to_o tharsis_n he_o do_v not_o altogether_o excuse_v his_o flight_n but_o now_o he_o declare_v more_o evident_o that_o he_o have_v not_o refuse_v any_o trouble_n or_o labour_n nor_o yet_o have_v refuse_v any_o controversy_n or_o danger_n but_o only_o because_o he_o be_v careful_a for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n therefore_o he_o be_v draw_v away_o from_o his_o vocation_n to_o this_o end_n therefore_o tend_v the_o word_n of_o jonas_n as_o though_o he_o will_v appoint_v god_n to_o be_v a_o witness_n and_o a_o judge_n that_o not_o for_o fear_v of_o danger_n nor_o for_o slothfulness_n nor_o for_o rebellion_n nor_o for_o any_o other_o respect_n he_o withdraw_v gim_a self_n from_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n but_o only_o for_o that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v his_o sacred_a name_n violate_v and_o defile_v for_o that_o he_o will_v not_o willing_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o that_o preach_n which_o may_v open_v the_o mouth_n of_o ungodly_a &_o profane_a man_n to_o laugh_v god_n himself_o to_o scorn_v when_o as_o say_v he_o i_o hope_v for_o none_o other_o profit_n of_o my_o preach_n but_o even_o that_o the_o gentile_n may_v laugh_v god_n to_o scorn_v yea_o may_v tear_v in_o piece_n amongst_o they_o his_o holy_a name_n as_o if_o he_o be_v deceitful_a and_o vain_a therefore_o have_v i_o rather_o fly_v unto_o tharsis_n therefore_o here_o jonas_n do_v not_o altogether_o excuse_v himself_o for_o then_o to_o no_o purpose_n have_v his_o chastisement_n light_v upon_o he_o whereby_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v thorough_o tame_v he_o be_v call_v of_o late_a from_o the_o very_a hell_n shall_v we_o say_v that_o he_o dare_v so_o lift_v up_o his_o horn_n against_o god_n that_o he_o will_v altogether_o be_v free_a from_o all_o fault_n this_o certain_o be_v to_o to_o absurd_a but_o as_o i_o have_v say_v he_o object_v to_o god_n that_o at_o the_o beginning_n he_o flee_v not_o for_o any_o other_o cause_n but_o for_o that_o he_o hope_v not_o for_o any_o plausible_a fruit_n or_o success_n of_o his_o preach_n but_o rather_o he_o fear_v that_o which_o he_o see_v imminent_a even_o that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v a_o laugh_a stock_n immediate_o he_o add_v because_o i_o know_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o god_n full_a of_o favour_n and_o merciful_a slow_a to_o anger_n etc_n etc_n this_o be_v sure_o marvellous_a that_o jonas_n be_v call_v away_o from_o his_o vocation_n because_o he_o know_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a see_v that_o no_o sharp_a goad_n ought_v to_o prick_v we_o forward_o when_o as_o god_n will_v use_v our_o labour_n or_o diligence_n for_o we_o know_v that_o no_o man_n can_v perform_v his_o obedience_n chéerefullye_o unto_o god_n but_o he_o which_o be_v even_o allure_v with_o his_o fatherly_a goodness_n so_o then_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v a_o willing_a prophet_n or_o teacher_n but_o he_o which_o be_v persuade_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a jonas_n therefore_o seem_v to_o to_o foolish_o to_o reason_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v therefore_o withdraw_v from_o his_o office_n because_o he_o know_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a again_o how_o know_v jonas_n this_o even_o out_o of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o this_o place_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o 33._o of_o exod._n where_o that_o notable_a and_o memorial_n vision_n be_v describe_v unto_o we_o 33_o where_o god_n set_v out_o himself_o to_o be_v see_v of_o moses_n there_o be_v exhibit_v unto_o the_o holy_a prophet_n a_o lively_a image_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v no_o place_n
