Secondly. Confess it, Bewail it, that the Glorious GOD should so many Years come looking for Fruit, and find so little of what he has looked for; ⟨p. 187⟩and seek and get the Pardon of it. Oh! Let it not be said This Day, as in Jer. VIII. 6. I hearkened and heard; No Man Repented, saying, What have I done? This Day examine your selves. You will upon Examination find, That you have brought forth little of that Fruit which you should have had. You will find, That very much evil Fruit has been found upon you. Oh! The Humiliations which you a•e by your Unfruitfulness called unto! Cry out, Lord, I abhor my self, and I Repent in Dust and Ashes! Cry out, Lord, such a Barren Tree deserves to be turned into Dust and Ashes. Weep to the Lord for the Pardon of this Unfruitfulness. Plead the Sacrifice of the Fruitful JESUS, who yet was Cut off. Let This be your only Plea for your Pardon. The Cross is to be pleaded, that the Barren Tree may be pardoned.
