Is observable for this purpose the 17. and 18. verses, For the iniquity of his Covetousness was I wroth, and Smote him; I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heat, I have seen his ways and will heal him &c. Though he went on, and was worth; yet (saith God) I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will not take advantage; I will be content after all their froward rejections of all the offers of Grace, yet I will heal them for all that. The frowardness is that that hath reference (not only to unprofitableness under afflictions) but when one is dealt kindly withal, and doth not answer according to his kindness, but will have his own will such a one doth go on frowardly. Now then if we could put all these together that have been named of Gods willingness towards sinners to bring them in to be reconciled to him; Oh Lord! how infinite would the Grace, and goodness of God appear? How were God to be glorified in his Grace?

I see I cannot possibly come to these things, that I have heretofore propounded; As what needs all this and the like? But that must be done, or the reasons why God doth deal thus.
