O Fools and slow of Heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken, Luke 24.25. Mark you here, slowness to believe is a piece of Folly. Ay! But sayest thou, I do believe some, and I believe what can make against me. Ay, but Sinner, Christ Jesus here calls thee Fool for not believing all. Believe all, and despair if thou Canst. He that believes all, believes that Text that saith, Christ would have Mercy preached first to the Jerusalem-sinners. He that believeth all, ⟨p. 103⟩•elieveth all the Promises and Consolations •f the Word; and the Promises and Consolations of the Word, weigh heavier than •o all the Curses and Threatenings of the •aw. And Mercy rejoiceth against Judgment. Wherefore believe all, and Mercy will (to thy Conscience) weigh Judgment •own, and so minister Comfort to thy Soul. The Lord take the Yoke from off thy Jaws, since he has set Meat before thee Hos. 11.4. And help thee, to remember that he is •leased in the first place to offer Mercy to •he biggest Sinners.
