The use of this to our selves is, that the patient forbearance of God may lead us to repentance, Romans the second and the fourth.1 The Prophet Joel bids us Rent our hearts, 2and fall to weeping and mourning; Because the Lord is merciful and slow to anger. Gods long-suffering is as a hand reached out, that points us to repentance. Such is his goodness, that when all his terrors and menace; are set in their places, yet he makes room for Repentance, whensoever it comes. And though they be as ready to strike, as Abraham's hand was to Isaacs sacrifice; yet Repentance, tanquam vox Angeli, shall stay them. O blessed Repentance, how sweet and amiable art thou! yet how few love thee!
