Mark what carnal therefores the men and people of the world have, Prov. 7.14, 15. I offered my peace offering, now therefore am I come forth to meet thee. A strange therefore, as if she should say, I have been at duty, and at the ordinance; and therefore now am come forth to play the whore. Ye know also what a therefore Pilate had, upon the Judgment of Christ, I find no fault with him, now therefore Scourge him and let him go. 1Oh strange therefore, I find no fault with him, therefore whip him, nay, therefore whip him not, for I find no fault in him. Are there not such therefores still in the hearts of men, The Lord is gracious and merciful, Therefore I'll go on to sin; The Lord is patient and forbearing, Therefore I'll repent afterwards.
