He hath long spared thee and borne with thee when thou never purposed'st to repent and now thou repenting will he not give thee mercy Wherefore doth he grant thee to live at this present to heare him to speak this and mee to speak this but of love to us all Oh therefore let us pray him that he would adde to this that we might believe these love-tokens that he loveth us and indeed he will doe it Lord open our eyes in thy gifts to see thy gracious goodnesse Amen But to tarry in this I will not Let every man consider Gods benefits past and present publike and private spirituall and corporall to the confirming of his faith concerning the promises of the Gospel for the pardon of his sinnes I will now goe about to shew you a fourth meane to confirme your faith in this even by examples Of these there are in the Scriptures very many as also daily experience doth diversely teach the same if we were diligent to observe things accordingly wherefore I will be more breefe herein having respect to time which stealeth fast away Adam in Paradise transgressed grievously as the painfull punishment which we all as yet feele proveth if nothing else Though by reason of his sinne he displeased God sore and ranne away from God for he would have hid himselfe yea he would have made God the causer of his sinne in that he gave him such a Mate so farre was he from asking mercy yet all this notwithstanding God turned his fierce wrath neither upon him nor Eve which also required not mercy but upon the Serpent Sathan promising unto them a seed Jesus Christ by whom they at the length should be delivered In token whereof though they were cast out of Paradise for their nurture to serve in sorrow which would not serve in joy yet he made them apparel to cover their nakednesse a visible document and token of his invisible love and grace concerning their soules If God was so mercifull to Adam which so sore brake his commandement and rather blamed God then asked mercy Thinkest thou O man that he will not be mercifull to thee which blamest thy selfe and desirest pardon To Cain he offered mercy if he would have asked it What hast thou done saith God the voyce of thy Brothers blood Cryeth unto me out of the earth O mercifull Lord should Cain have said I confesse it But a las he did not so and therefore said God Now that is in that thou desirest not mercy Now I say be thou accursed c. Loe to the reprobate he offered mercy and will he deny it thee which art his child Noah did he not sinne and was drunk good Lot also both in Sodom dissembled a little with the Angels prolonging the time and out of Sodome he fell very foule as did Judah and the Patriarks against Joseph but yet I ween they found mercy Moses Myriam Aaron though they stumbled a little yet received they mercy Yea the people in the wildernesse often sinned and displeased God so that he was purposed to have destroyed them Let me alone saith he to Moses that I may destroy them But Moses did not let him alone for he prayed still for them and therefore God spared them If the people were spared through Moses prayer they not praying with him but rather worshiping their golden Calfe eating drinking making jolly good cheere Beloved why shouldest thou doubt whether God will be mercifull to thee having as indeed thou hast one much better then Moses to pray for thee with thee even Jesus Christ who sitteth on the right hand of his Father and prayeth for us being no lesse faithfull in his Fathers house the Church then Moses was in the Synagogue David that good King had a foule foile when he committed Whoredome with his faithfull servants wife Bethsheba whereunto he added also a mischievous murther causing her husband his most faithfull Souldier Vriah to be slaine with an honest company of his most valiant men of warre and that with the sword of the uncircumcised In this sinne though a great while he lay asleepe as many doe now adaies God give them good waking thinking that by the Sacrifices he offered all was well God was content yet at length when the Prophet by a Parable opened the offence and brought David in remembrance of his own sinne and in such sort that he gave judgement against himselfe then quaked he his Sacrifices had no more taken away his sinnes then our Sir Johns Trentals and wagging of his fingers over the heads of such as lie asleepe in their sinnes out of the which when they are awaked they will see that it is neither Masse nor Mattins blessing nor cursing will serve then I say he cryed out saying Peccavi Domine I have sinned saith he against my Lord and good God which hath done so much for me I caused indeed Vriah to be killed I have sinned I have sinned what shall I doe I have sinned and am worthy of eternall damnation But what saith God by this Prophet Dominus transtulit peccatum tuum non morieris The Lord hath taken away thy sinnes thon shalt not dye O good God he said but Peccavi I have sinned but yet from his heart and not from his lips only as Pharavh and Saul did and incontinently he heareth Thou shalt not dye the Lord hath taken away thy sinnes Or rather hath laid them upon the back of his sonne Jesus Christ who bare them and not only them but thine and mine also if that we will now cry but from our hearts Peccavimus we have sinned good Lord we have done wickedly enter not into judgement with us but be mercifull unto us after thy great mercy and according to the multitude of thy compassions doe away our iniquities c.
