There was none exalted him, but they followed their own Counsels and did what they list, yet, how shall I give thee up? (this from the Connection.) I will give you an instance, and that's a very famous one as we have in all the book of God. What sins were greater than the sins of Jerusalem against Christ when he lived? and yet Christ 1looks on Jerusalem, and weeps over it; weeps over it, when he considered of the destruction of it. Yea, and mark, Though Jerusalem were guilty of the Blood of Christ, took away the very Life of Christ; yet when Christ was risen again, one of the first things that Christ doth in the 24. of Luke, 47. when he was going there to Emmaus, Christ saith, That Repentance, and Remission of sins was to be preached in his Name among all Nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Repentance, and remission of sins preached to all Nations: Oh! but surely Jerusalem must be left, Jerusalem that did slay the Prophets, and was so injurious, yea, Jerusalem that put Jesus Christ to death: though all Nation should have Repentance, and Remission of sins preached to them, yet one would think Jerusalem now should be excepted; No saith Christ, beginning at Jerusalem, Jerusalem shall be the first place where I'll have preached Repentance and Remission of sins, even that Jerusalem that took away my life, I'll have preached Repentance and Remission of sins there in the very first place of all, Oh! Gods mercies are beyond mans iniquities.
