Answ. True, there are some Men say, We are •ds, we will come no more under thee, Jer. 2.31. • as God says in another case (if they are concerned in Shall come to me) They shall know •se Word shall stand, mine or theirs, Jer. 44.28. •e then is the case, we must now see who • be the Liar; he that saith, I will not; or •hat saith, he shall come to me. You shall •he, says God: I will nor come saith the •er. Now, as sure as he is concerned in this • come, God will make that Man eat his own •rds; for I will not is the unadvised Con••••ion of a crazy headed Sinner, but shall come • spoken by him, that is of Power to perform • word. Son, go work to day in my Vineyard; said • Father; but he answered and said, I will not •e. What now, will he be able to stand to • Refusal? Will he pursue his desperate De•? No; he afterwards repented and went. But ⟨p. 54⟩how came he by that Repentance? Wh• was wrapped up for him in the absolute ••• mice; and therefore, notwithstanding he s• will not, he afterwards repented and went • this Parable Jesus Christ sets forth the O• cy of the Sinners of the World, as to their coming to him; they will not come threatened, yea, though Life be offered upon condition of coming.
