Thirdly, It's a great aggravation of mens sins if they be 1called to duty, after God hath called them out of misery and they do not obey it. After thou comest out of an affliction, whether bodily or spiritual, God expects thou shouldest as diligently hearken to his call that calls thee to duty, as thou doest take hold of his mercy when he held it to thee to deliver thee out of thine affliction; charge thy soul 2thus, Oh wrenched heart that I have, I called to God, and God hath heard my call, and now God hath delivered me, and calls me to a duty, and shall I stop mine ears against Gods call? Oh how just were it for God to ⟨p. 24⟩leave me in misery, when I turn my back to him when he calls me to a duty!
