Secondly, Consider that of Ahab when Benha• ad sent to him for Life, saying; Thus saith t•• Son Benhadad, I pray thee, let me Live Thou•• Benhadad had sought the Crown & Kingdom, ye• and also the Life of Ahab; yet how effectual•• doth Benhadad prevail with him. Is Benhadad y•• alive? said Ahab. He is my Brother; yea, • ye bring him to me. So he made him Ride • his Chariot, 1 Kings 20.

Th•• neither beggest of him his Crown and Digni•• Life, eternal Life will serve thy turn. H•• much more then, shalt thou have it, since t•• hast to deal with him who is Goodness & Me• it self! yea, since thou art called upon, y•• greatly encouraged by a promise of Life, • come unto him for Life?
