CHAP. 73. The thirteenth argument: Manifesting the exceeding willingness of God to be reconciled to sinners.
CHAP. 73. The thirtenth argument: Manifesting the exceeding willingness of God to be reconciled to sinners.
Another evidence of Gods willingness to be reconciled is this; that God is so importunate with sinners, he uses such strong arguments, that he first takes away objections, and then he is so importunate, he doth not merely satisfy himself with offering of mercy: but he is very importunate in the work, and the importunity of God appears. First in this; that the scripture expresses God crying out after sinners: not only seeking out after sinners, but calling, and crying: so the words in the Original are, of Gods beseeching to be reconciled, of God calling to sinners, in Prov. 1. It is said of wisdom, that it cries, the Lord cries out, and that in Isa. 55.
