Is he not thy father, and a father •ull of compassions and bowels? And can a father stand by his dying Child, see his fainting fits, hear his melting groans, and pity begging looks; and not help him; especially having restoratives by him that can do it? Surely, as a father pities his own Children, so will thy God pity thee, Psal. 103. 12, 13. He Will spare thee, as a father spareth his own son that serves him, Mal. 3. 17. Hark, how his bowels yearn? I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, it not Ephraim my dear son? is he not a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still, I will surely have mercy on him, Jer. 31. 20.
