1. Such as sin notwithstanding mercies.
1. Such as sinne notwithstanding mercies.
2. Such as sin under mercies, at the same time when God is showing mercy unto them. Of these David speaks, Our Fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt, they remembered not the multitude 1of thy mercies, but provoked him at the Sea, yea even at the Red Sea. This was a great aggravation. They sinned at the very place where they were delivered, and at the very time when they were delivered, at the Sea, even the Red Sea: And as it is at the 13. verse, They soon forgot his works; the word in the Hebrew 2is, they made haste to forget his works. This is our condition: God hath brought us into the school of mercy, but are there not many among us that turn this school of mercy into the school of iniquity? that remain irreformable in a year of Reformation, that not only hate to be reformed, but hate the very Reformation it self? that sin under mercies, even under mercies?
