2. Do not these men know that they vent all these confident zealous insultings, directly against the Scripture expressions, as well as against ours? Doth not Christ say to Jerusalem, How oft would I have gathered thee, as a Hen gathereth her Chickens under her Wings, and ye would not? yet did not God decree their not being so gathered? Are you sure that all those Jews were Elected and Saved to whom Peter saith Act. 3. last. To you first God sent his Son Jesus to bless you, in turning every one of you from his Iniquities? Or rather, is it not spoken of the end of Gods Legislative Will, and so is meant of a conditional gift? God will so bless you, if you are willing or reject it not? For by turning from Iniquity there is meant the work of Sanctification following the first act of Faith, and perhaps of Justification too. Multitudes of such expressions may be found in the Scripture, which I am loath needlessly to tire my self and the Reader with the recital of.
