unto_o thou_o and_o will_v common_a with_o thou_o from_o of_o the_o mercy_n seat_n 3_o oftentimes_o he_o speak_v unto_o the_o father_n ●y_a dream_n 37._o as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o example_n of_o

answer_v the_o demand_n of_o the_o priest_n by_o his_o ephod_n 12._o excel_v and_o surmount_v their_o accustom_a shine_n and_o brightness_n but_o when_o god_n refuse_v to_o answer_v the_o precious_a stone_n remain_v in_o their_o wont_a glory_n nothing_o alter_v or_o change_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o answer_v by_o ephod_n it_o be_v apparent_a by_o the_o scripture_n as_o by_o the_o three_o and_o twenty_o and_o eight_o and_o twenty_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n of_o king_n 5_o oftentimes_o he_o speak_v to_o the_o father_n by_o vision_n 1._o the_o which_o vision_n the_o

but_o howsoever_o it_o please_v god_n to_o speak_v and_o talk_v with_o this_o our_o prophet_n ionas_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v neither_o be_v it_o great_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v for_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n in_o deed_n speak_v with_o ionas_n and_o that_o the_o call_n of_o the_o prophet_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v do_v in_o

speak_v unto_o the_o father_n and_o do_v affirm_v that_o they_o will_v more_o willing_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o so_o be_v it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o talk_v with_o they_o after_o that_o fashion_n notwithstanding_o if_o we_o well_o consider_v of_o the_o matter_n now_o that_o christ_n be_v come_v and_o have_v publish_v his_o gospel_n throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o the_o time_n be_v much_o more_o happy_a than_o they_o be_v in_o time_n past_a for_o god_n have_v speak_v with_o we_o not_o by_o angel_n not_o by_o dream_n or_o vision_n but_o by_o his_o own_o son_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n who_o by_o his_o divine_a majesty_n excel_v all_o angel_n whereupon_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o be_v write_v 1._o in_o these_o last_o day_n god_n have_v speak_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o son_n who_o he_o have_v appoint_v heir_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o christ_n himself_o say_v 13._o bless_a be_v the_o

and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v now_o salvation_n be_v near_a unto_o we_o than_o it_o be_v then_o for_o see_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v commend_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n from_o heaven_n say_v this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n hear_v he_o 17._o he_o be_v most_o happy_a which_o so_o hear_v he_o by_o his_o gospel_n that_o by_o faith_n he_o comprehend_v the_o same_o &_o obey_v his_o call_n for_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o believe_v not_o this_o son_n of_o god_n he_o will_v not_o believe_v though_o all_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n all_o the_o patriarch_n all_o the_o prophet_n and_o father_n stand_v before_o he_o to_o testify_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o neglect_v the_o felicity_n and_o happiness_n of_o our_o time_n but_o let_v we_o attend_v and_o give_v ear_n to_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n whereby_o we_o may_v obtain_v everlasting_a salvation_n now_o it_o follow_v to_o show_v to_o what_o thing_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n call_v ionas_n arise_v say_v he_o go_v to_o that_o great_a city_n of_o ninive_n and_o preach_v in_o it_o how_o that_o their_o wickedness_n be_v come_v up_o before_o i_o as_o concern_v the_o city_n of_o ninive_n and_o who_o be_v the_o first_o builder_n of_o the_o same_o we_o may_v read_v in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n this_o city_n be_v so_o enlarge_v that_o in_o bigness_n it_o be_v comparable_a to_o babylon_n which_o be_v fifteen_o mile_n compass_n according_a to_o the_o mile_n of_o germany_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o text_n ninive_n be_v a_o great_a city_n and_o of_o three_o day_n journey_n 3._o and_o in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o prophecy_n 4._o it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o that_o city_n there_o be_v a_o cxx._n thousand_o child_n how_o great_a then_o be_v the_o number_n of_o man_n woman_n servant_n maiden_n and_o stranger_n wherefore_o ninive_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a city_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o at_o that_o time_n when_o ionas_n be_v send_v unto_o it_o the_o mighty_a monarchy_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n be_v in_o the_o same_o moreover_o circumcise_v jew_n dwell_v not_o in_o it_o but_o uncircumcised_a gentile_n have_v their_o habitation_n there_o when_o as_o therefore_o it_o please_v god_n to_o send_v the_o prophet_n ionas_n unto_o it_o he_o do_v plain_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n which_o shall_v favour_v one_o nation_n and_o abhor_v another_o and_o which_o shall_v be_v only_o the_o god_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o gentile_n also_o wherefore_o god_n will_v not_o have_v one_o nation_n or_o people_n but_o all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n say_v paul_n between_o the_o jew_n &_o the_o gentile_a for_o there_o be_v one_o lord_n of_o all_o etc_n etc_n but_o this_o be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o though_o god_n save_v all_o the_o gentile_n without_o difference_n although_o they_o abide_v in_o their_o impiety_n and_o be_v not_o convert_v unto_o the_o lord_n but_o that_o he_o desire_v to_o have_v all_o man_n save_v and_o reject_v none_o that_o repent_v &_o acknowledge_v the_o true_a god_n whereupon_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v not_o simple_o there_o be_v one_o lord_n of_o all_o rich_fw-fr towards_o all_o but_o he_o add_v to_o such_o as_o call_v upon_o he_o for_o all_o simp_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v but_o all_o such_o as_o call_v upon_o the_o lord_n every_o one_o say_v he_o which_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v save_v but_o how_o shall_v they_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o who_o they_o believe_v not_o therefore_o they_o which_o desire_v to_o be_v save_v must_v of_o necessity_n hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n believe_v the_o same_o and_o call_v upon_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n for_o there_o be_v salvation_n in_o no_o other_o whereupon_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o the_o ninivet_n be_v not_o simple_o save_v but_o a_o prophet_n be_v send_v unto_o they_o to_o declare_v the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v and_o repent_v furthermore_o when_o the_o lord_n say_v preach_v unto_o they_o because_o their_o wickedness_n be_v come_v up_o before_o i_o and_o so_o forth_o he_o plain_o declare_v what_o affection_n he_o bear_v towards_o those_o that_o be_v sinner_n for_o although_o he_o hate_v sin_n and_o iniquity_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o desire_v to_o have_v all_o man_n save_v if_o so_o be_v they_o repent_v before_o the_o flood_n come_v the_o lord_n call_v man_n to_o repentance_n by_o noe._n before_o the_o burn_a of_o sodom_n the_o lord_n call_v the_o sodomite_n to_o repentance_n by_o loth._n when_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n be_v at_o hand_n the_o lord_n call_v the_o jew_n to_o repentance_n by_o the_o prophet_n and_o afterward_o by_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n so_o in_o this_o place_n before_o ninive_n shall_v be_v destroy_v the_o citizen_n be_v call_v to_o repentance_n by_o ionas_n and_o because_o they_o repent_v they_o escape_v punishment_n as_o hereafter_o shall_v be_v declare_v these_o thing_n therefore_o be_v diligent_o to_o be_v consider_v of_o we_o because_o in_o these_o day_n god_n have_v reveal_v himself_o unto_o we_o by_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o call_v this_o realm_n of_o england_n to_o repentance_n wherefore_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o consider_v and_o know_v that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o england_n be_v ascend_v and_o come_v before_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o that_o his_o just_a wrath_n and_o punishment_n be_v at_o hand_n for_o the_o same_o for_o it_o be_v not_o at_o this_o time_n or_o of_o late_a that_o england_n have_v begin_v to_o sin_n or_o to_o commit_v abomination_n but_o it_o have_v sin_v and_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o

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
