For I say unto you that none of those men which were bidden shall tast of my Supper and ye may well feare it shall fare with you as with the Israelites who because They would not accept Gods offer enter Canaan when he tendred it allthough a while after they would have done it and did indeavor yet God would never let them come into it Where Gods Mercy is most free he is usually most quick severe and they that may will not goe free are served as the Servant that might and would not Deut. 15. 16. 17.
