Make a double Catalogue: One of thy sins; The other of Gods mercies to thee, & bind them about thy heart to bring it into a religious frame. Thus I have named six other mercies. My humble suit is, That you would p•nder & consider seriously what hath been said unto you. Consider what I say, saith the Apostle, and the Lord give you understanding. The Thessalonians had never understood 1what Paul had said, if they had not considered it. No more shall we profit by this Sermon, if we do not consider what hath bin said. And this consideration must have four ingredients.
