teach_v we_o the_o true_a and_o perfect_a way_n to_o repent_v for_o the_o scripture_n say_v the_o people_n of_o ninive_n believe_v in_o the_o lord_n this_o be_v the_o true_a and_o certain_a way_n of_o repentance_n to_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n the_o which_o thing_n be_v utter_v and_o speak_v epicure_n and_o contemner_n of_o true_a godliness_n can_v scarce_o refrain_v laughter_n esteem_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o easy_a to_o be_v do_v than_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n but_o i_o will_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v err_v for_o when_o faith_n in_o the_o lord_n be_v require_v of_o we_o let_v we_o know_v and_o understand_v that_o a_o work_n no_o less_o hard_a heavenly_a and_o divine_a be_v require_v of_o we_o than_o be_v the_o creation_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v unto_o thou_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n thou_o will_v think_v that_o a_o work_n impossible_a and_o above_o thy_o strength_n be_v require_v of_o thou_o but_o when_o it_o be_v say_v believe_v in_o the_o lord_n a_o thing_n no_o less_o impossible_a be_v require_v of_o thou_o then_o the_o creation_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n 19_o impossible_a i_o mean_v it_o be_v to_o flesh_n &_o blood_n but_o not_o impossible_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o spiritual_a force_n the_o which_o thing_n to_o explicate_v let_v we_o take_v the_o example_n of_o the_o ninivete_n for_o where_o as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v mean_v that_o they_o believe_v the_o sermon_n which_o ionas_n make_v at_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o it_o be_v the_o true_a divine_a and_o heavenly_a voice_n of_o god_n but_o how_o hard_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o believe_v this_o many_o thing_n do_v declare_v 14._o for_o first_o of_o all_o if_o we_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o person_n of_o ionas_n although_o he_o be_v count_v a_o great_a prophet_n among_o the_o israelite_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v not_o of_o so_o great_a authority_n among_o the_o ninivete_n which_o be_v uncircumcised_a gentile_n it_o be_v marvel_n therefore_o that_o they_o say_v not_o what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v with_o that_o jew_n that_o stranger_n what_o mean_v that_o fugitive_n and_o runagate_n fellow_n have_v god_n talk_v more_o with_o he_o than_o with_o our_o bishop_n and_o high_a priest_n if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o purpose_n of_o god_n to_o overthrow_v our_o city_n will_v he_o not_o soon_o have_v reveal_v it_o to_o our_o king_n or_o to_o some_o of_o our_o chief_a ruler_n in_o the_o city_n than_o to_o this_o runneawaye_n jew_n but_o neither_o the_o citizen_n nor_o the_o magistrate_n nor_o the_o king_n himself_o object_v any_o such_o thing_n to_o ionas_n but_o simple_o believe_v his_o word_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n wherefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v stir_v up_o to_o believe_v not_o by_o humane_a power_n but_o by_o heavenly_a force_n even_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n furthermore_o if_o we_o mark_v the_o text_n well_o when_o it_o say_v they_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n it_o shall_v easy_o appear_v that_o faith_n be_v not_o a_o humane_a work_n but_o a_o divine_a work_n for_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n comprehend_v three_o thing_n 1_o the_o first_o be_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v true_a when_o it_o reprove_v we_o of_o sin_n and_o condemn_v we_o for_o sin_n and_o pronounce_v we_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o as_o well_o corporal_a as_o eternal_a punishment_n but_o to_o believe_v this_o be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o a_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n let_v we_o behold_v therefore_o the_o sermon_n of_o ionas_n there_o be_v yet_o say_v he_o forty_o day_n and_o then_o shall_v ninive_n be_v overthrow_v this_o be_v a_o sermon_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v in_o effect_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v you_o ninivet_n you_o be_v ungodly_a man_n and_o the_o most_o wicked_a sinner_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n wherefore_o god_n within_o forty_o day_n will_v so_o overthrow_v and_o destroy_v your_o city_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v cast_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n into_o hell_n to_o take_v such_o a_o sermon_n in_o good_a part_n and_o to_o believe_v the_o same_o to_o be_v true_a be_v not_o of_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o a_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o man_n be_v leave_v and_o give_v over_o unto_o their_o strength_n can_v abide_v to_o be_v reprehend_v much_o less_o to_o be_v tell_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v damn_v wherefore_o if_o they_o patient_o bear_v reprehension_n and_o acknowledge_v their_o sin_n and_o damnation_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 2_o second_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o believe_v the_o promise_n make_v to_o abraham_n as_o concern_v christ_n that_o be_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n our_o life_n and_o salvation_n be_v eternal_a true_a and_o infallible_a but_o to_o believe_v this_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v in_o man_n but_o only_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o of_o humane_a wisdom_n but_o only_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n let_v we_o therefore_o once_o again_o consider_v of_o the_o sermon_n of_o ionas_n there_o be_v yet_o say_v he_o forty_o day_n and_o then_o shall_v ninive_n be_v destroy_v although_o this_o sermon_n seem_v only_o to_o be_v a_o sermon_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o which_o understand_v the_o law_n of_o god_n aright_a he_o understand_v also_o that_o in_o this_o sermon_n be_v contain_v the_o sermon_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n for_o paul_n as_o concern_v the_o law_n say_v 3._o the_o law_n be_v a_o schoolmaster_n unto_o christ_n wheresoever_o therefore_o the_o law_n do_v condemn_v we_o there_o do_v it_o refer_v we_o unto_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o damnation_n moreover_o s._n paul_n say_v the_o scripture_n that_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v conclude_v all_o thing_n under_o sin_n that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n jesus_n may_v be_v give_v to_o those_o the_o believe_v that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o law_n bring_v we_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n not_o that_o we_o shall_v perish_v in_o sin_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v refer_v to_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o by_o he_o obtain_v salvation_n also_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o ezechiell_n say_v 18._o i_o will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o turn_v from_o his_o wickedness_n and_o live_v but_o the_o law_n threaten_v death_n to_o the_o sinner_n yet_o not_o that_o he_o shall_v perish_v by_o death_n but_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o come_v unto_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o so_o obtain_v life_n so_o this_o sermon_n of_o ionas_n include_v in_o itself_o the_o gospel_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n as_o concern_v christ_n for_o he_o will_v not_o that_o the_o ninivet_n shall_v perish_v but_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v convert_v to_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v christ_n by_o faith_n and_o may_v have_v in_o he_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n to_o believe_v this_o be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n 3_o three_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n comprehend_v also_o in_o itself_o to_o believe_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v divine_a and_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o exhibit_v unto_o they_o obedience_n by_o faith_n and_o to_o bring_v forth_o the_o true_a fruit_n of_o repentance_n namely_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o our_o sin_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n to_o do_v this_o also_o we_o be_v unable_a without_o the_o aid_n of_o god_n spirit_n for_o we_o can_v true_o obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n unless_o the_o lord_n incline_v our_o heart_n thereunto_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n wherefore_o when_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o text_n that_o the_o ninivet_n believe_v the_o lord_n it_o mean_v not_o that_o they_o only_o have_v a_o light_a belief_n and_o imagination_n of_o god_n but_o it_o signify_v that_o they_o show_v forth_o these_o three_o thing_n namely_o that_o they_o believe_v themselves_o to_o be_v sinner_n and_o that_o they_o deserve_v not_o only_a destruction_n but_o also_o eternal_a damnation_n second_o that_o they_o believe_v to_o receive_v pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n for_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n only_o which_o be_v christ_n who_o prophet_n ionas_n be_v three_o it_o signify_v that_o they_o determine_v with_o themselves_o ever_o after_o to_o avoid_v sin_n and_o to_o obey_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n this_o be_v that_o true_a repentance_n which_o god_n regard_v and_o which_o obtain_v

prophesy_v the_o certain_a time_n of_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o people_n out_o of_o babylon_n say_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v set_v free_a the_o seven_o hundred_o year_n but_o the_o special_a example_n be_v of_o christ_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o he_o suffer_v the_o most_o shameful_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n but_o before_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o human_a nature_n and_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n the_o prophet_n preach_v of_o his_o death_n resurrection_n and_o kingdom_n as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o the_o three_o and_o fifty_o chapter_n of_o isaiah_n and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n 53._o for_o god_n so_o love_v his_o only_o beget_v son_n that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v suffer_v the_o jew_n so_o cruel_o to_o have_v put_v he_o to_o death_n unless_o he_o have_v before_o appoint_v and_o determine_v how_o to_o save_v and_o deliver_v he_o but_o some_o man_n will_v say_v i_o grant_v in_o deed_n that_o this_o happen_v to_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o ionas_n likewise_o and_o to_o other_o prophet_n and_o holy_a man_n object_n but_o i_o be_o so_o abject_a base_a and_o contemn_v that_o he_o have_v no_o care_n respect_n or_o regard_n unto_o i_o again_o my_o sin_n and_o offence_n be_v so_o heinous_a that_o god_n care_v not_o what_o evil_n happen_v unto_o i_o his_o wrath_n be_v so_o kindle_v against_o i_o we_o be_v true_o contemn_v respond_v if_o we_o consider_v our_o corporal_a estate_n and_o our_o sin_n no_o doubt_n do_v provoke_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o we_o but_o he_o which_o reject_v sinner_n for_o their_o sin_n he_o also_o receive_v sinner_n through_o repentance_n and_o although_o as_o touch_v our_o corporal_a estate_n we_o be_v abject_a and_o subject_a to_o death_n yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o we_o be_v of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n then_o be_v we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n a_o excellent_a treasure_n wherefore_o we_o must_v seek_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o come_v to_o repentance_n and_o to_o be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n the_o which_o thing_n we_o shall_v bring_v to_o pass_v when_o we_o acknowledge_v our_o sin_n embrace_v jesus_n christ_n by_o a_o true_a faith_n and_o walk_v

his_o son_n by_o faith_n when_o as_o therefore_o they_o which_o believe_v in_o christ_n testify_v the_o acknowledge_v of_o their_o sin_n by_o fast_v and_o sackcloth_n and_o declare_v their_o faith_n also_o by_o the_o amendment_n of_o their_o life_n and_o by_o embrace_v of_o virtue_n then_o be_v god_n say_v to_o have_v respect_n unto_o their_o work_n not_o that_o work_n of_o themselves_o be_v so_o meritorious_a that_o for_o they_o god_n will_v turn_v away_o his_o wrath_n but_o because_o work_n be_v argument_n and_o certain_a sign_n of_o the_o faith_n which_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o god_n only_o regard_v and_o for_o who_o merit_n alone_o he_o be_v pacify_v and_o forgive_v sin_n this_o now_o must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o ninivet_n for_o the_o ninivet_n be_v sinner_n &_o for_o their_o sin_n they_o deserve_v to_o have_v their_o city_n destroy_v but_o at_o the_o preach_n of_o ionas_n they_o be_v terrify_v and_o make_v believe_v as_o be_v aforesaid_a but_o what_o do_v they_o believe_v 1_o first_o they_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n and_o that_o the_o word_n which_o be_v preach_v unto_o they_o as_o concern_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o city_n be_v true_a &_o divine_a 2_o then_o they_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a for_o the_o promise_a seed_n of_o abraham_n by_o the_o which_o faith_n they_o fast_v and_o put_v on_o sackcloth_n to_o declare_v the_o true_a acknowledge_v of_o their_o sin_n 3_o last_o of_o all_o they_o turn_v every_o one_o from_o their_o wicked_a way_n to_o godliness_n and_o virtue_n to_o testify_v their_o faith_n and_o obedience_n towards_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n god_n therefore_o respect_v their_o work_n not_o for_o their_o merit_n but_o for_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n which_o be_v christ_n who_o they_o acknowledge_v by_o faith_n to_o be_v their_o only_a saviour_n &_o redeemer_n and_o in_o this_o place_n we_o have_v a_o excellent_a example_n of_o how_o great_a efficacy_n and_o profit_n true_a repentance_n be_v many_o man_n think_v and_o deem_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v do_v and_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o fatal_a destiny_n that_o be_v by_o a_o certain_a necessity_n and_o immutable_a order_n of_o thing_n and_o therefore_o they_o count_v it_o vain_a to_o seek_v mean_n to_o avoid_v danger_n to_o come_v and_o to_o call_v upon_o god_n to_o turn_v away_o such_o danger_n as_o be_v at_o hand_n and_o true_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o god_n be_v immutable_a 1._o and_o without_o all_o shadow_n of_o change_n i_o be_o god_n say_v he_o and_o be_o not_o change_v 102._o and_o the_o prophet_n david_n say_v they_o shall_v perish_v but_o thou_o shall_v endure_v but_o as_o touch_v peril_n and_o danger_n at_o hand_n god_n do_v so_o determine_v they_o to_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o if_o man_n do_v repent_v he_o receive_v they_o into_o his_o favour_n and_o forgive_v the_o punishment_n to_o come_v and_o if_o not_o the_o temporal_a yet_o at_o least_o the_o punishment_n which_o be_v eternal_a as_o the_o lord_n himself_o testify_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o prophet_n hieremie_n say_v if_o that_o people_n repent_v they_o of_o their_o wickedness_n i_o also_o will_v repent_v i_o of_o the_o plague_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v 18._o this_o true_o be_v speak_v even_o at_o the_o first_o of_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n to_o come_v of_o the_o which_o esayas_n also_o prophesy_v long_o before_o by_o the_o which_o say_n be_v signify_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n in_o his_o threaten_n if_o man_n do_v repent_v they_o of_o their_o sin_n the_o lord_n also_o will_v turn_v from_o his_o wrath_n &_o forgive_v the_o which_o thing_n the_o example_n of_o the_o ninivet_n well_o prove_v by_o who_o example_n also_o jerusalem_n have_v remain_v safe_a if_o so_o be_v the_o citizen_n of_o jerusalem_n have_v so_o repent_v at_o the_o preach_n of_o hieremy_n as_o the_o ninivet_n do_v at_o the_o preach_n of_o ionas_n the_o like_a have_v happen_v to_o the_o jew_n if_o they_o have_v afterward_o repent_v at_o the_o preach_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n as_o christ_n himself_o declare_v say_v jerusalem_n jerusalem_n how_o often_o will_v i_o have_v gather_v thou_o 23._o even_o as_o the_o hen_n gather_v her_o chicking_n under_o her_o wing_n and_o you_o will_v not_o and_o again_o there_o shall_v no_o sign_n be_v give_v unto_o they_o 12._o but_o the_o sign_n of_o ionas_n in_o the_o whale_n belly_n god_n true_o be_v so_o delight_v in_o repentance_n that_o if_o the_o wicked_a do_v but_o repent_v he_o external_o although_o he_o forgive_v not_o his_o sin_n &_o remit_v not_o his_o eternal_a punishment_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v forgive_v some_o part_n of_o his_o extern_a and_o temporal_a punishment_n in_o this_o world_n as_o testify_v the_o example_n of_o achab_n the_o wickedness_n of_o who_o heart_n although_o it_o remain_v still_o yet_o nevertheless_o when_o he_o humble_v himself_o at_o the_o preach_n of_o elias_n and_o repent_v external_o god_n be_v so_o delight_v therewith_o that_o the_o punishment_n be_v defer_v to_o the_o posterity_n of_o achab._n wherefore_o if_o any_o man_n desire_v to_o have_v not_o only_o the_o temporal_a punishment_n in_o this_o world_n for_o sin_n but_o also_o the_o everlasting_a punishment_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v remit_v let_v he_o repent_v true_o that_o be_v let_v he_o acknowledge_v his_o sin_n let_v he_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o let_v he_o show_v true_a obedience_n towards_o god_n so_o god_n grant_v a_o hundred_o &_o twenty_o year_n space_n of_o repentance_n before_o the_o flood_n so_o that_o if_o they_o have_v repent_v at_o the_o preach_n of_o no_n they_o have_v not_o only_o escape_v the_o punishment_n of_o the_o flood_n but_o also_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n fire_n so_o god_n give_v four_o hundred_o year_n space_n of_o repentance_n to_o the_o gentile_n the_o canaanite_n so_o to_o pharaoh_n so_o also_o in_o these_o day_n to_o we_o in_o the_o which_o the_o turk_n threaten_v to_o we_o christian_n destruction_n i_o say_v he_o have_v give_v we_o space_n of_o repentance_n to_o the_o which_o he_o call_v we_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o his_o holy_a gospel_n if_o therefore_o we_o repent_v we_o true_o that_o be_v if_o we_o faithful_o and_o unfeigned_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n and_o amend_v our_o life_n publikelye_v and_o private_o general_o and_o particular_o from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a than_o we_o shall_v escape_v the_o punishment_n and_o tyranny_n of_o the_o turk_n pope_n and_o all_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n but_o for_o so_o much_o as_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v great_a and_o the_o wickedness_n of_o life_n also_o very_o much_o as_o in_o drunkenness_n deceit_n whoredom_n swear_v and_o in_o many_o other_o vice_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o escape_v unpunished_a wherefore_o let_v we_o all_o general_o with_o one_o consent_n pray_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v so_o to_o kindle_v our_o heart_n with_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o we_o may_v amend_v our_o life_n and_o so_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o those_o plague_n which_o be_v at_o hand_n the_o four_o chapter_n text_n therefore_o ionas_n be_v sore_a discontent_n and_o angry_a and_o he_o pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o say_v oh_o lord_n be_v not_o this_o my_o say_n i_o pray_v thou_o when_o i_o be_v yet_o in_o my_o country_n therefore_o i_o haste_v rather_o to_o fly_v unto_o tharsis_n for_o i_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o thou_o be_v a_o merciful_a god_n full_a of_o compassion_n long_o suffer_v and_o of_o great_a kindness_n and_o repent_a when_o thou_o shall_v take_v punishment_n and_o now_o oh_o lord_n i_o beseech_v thou_o
