Two sermons preached by Master Henry SmithTvvo sermons preached by Master Henry Smith

Thus Jonah tempted, hath consented to neglect his charge, and doth he forth-with repent? No, he prepares himself to his purposed journey. But Jonah arose to fl•e unto Tarshish. As Jonah was no sooner tempted to go to Tarshish but he yielded, so as soon as he had yielded, forth-with be to go. So Jonah made himself a run-away and showed himself a disobedient servant to his God. And in the mean while, Nineveh set on the score, and had no hoe with them in working wickedness: but still filling the cup of all abominations, ran down to hell with as much force and speed as they could. So Nineveh is still Nineveh, but Jonah is not like Jonah, for the Prophet is flying, and sin is crying, and so all falls to confusion.

Thus Ionah tempted, hath consented to neglect his charge, and doth he forth-with repent? No, he prepares himselfe to his purposed iourney. But Ionah arose to fl•e vnto Tarshish. As Ionah was no sooner tempted to goe to Tarshish but he yeelded, so as soone as hee had yeelded, forth-with be to go. So Ionah made himselfe a run-away and shewed himselfe a disobedient seraunt to his God. And in the meane while, Niniuie set on the score, and had no hoe with them in working wickednesse: but still filling the cuuppe of all abominations, ranne downe to hell with as much force and speede as they could. So Niniuie is still Niniuie, but Ionah is not like Ionah, for the Prophet is flying, and sin is crying, and so al falles to confusion.

But Jonah arose up to fly unto Tarshish, &c.

But Ionah arose vp to flie vnto Tarshish, &c.

Jonah flieth unto Tarshish before he would go to Nineveh; and every one is like the son which said he would not, before he went: and so sin is borne first, as Esau, was borne before Jacob. Therefore if evil may compare with goodness in particular actions, in all mankind
