Hence his Love is said to be such as passeth Knowledge, and that his Riches are unsearchable. He has no body knows what; for no body knows who! He has by him in store for such as seem in the view of all Men, to be gone beyond Recovery. For this is the Text in plain, What Man or Angel could have thought the Jerusalem-sinners had not yet been on this side of Impossibility of enjoying Life and Mercy? Hadst thou seen their Actions and what horrible things they did to the Son of God? Yea, how stoutly they backed what they did, with Resolves and Endeavours to persevere, when they had killed his Person, against his Name and Doctrine: ⟨p. 126⟩And that there was not found among them, all that while, as we read of, the least Remorse or Regret for these their doings Couldst thou have imagined that Mercy would ever take hold of them, at least so soon! Nay that they should of all the World, be counted those only meet to have it offered to them in the very first place▪ For so my Text commands, saying, Preach Repentance and Remission of Sins among all Nations, Beginning at Jerusalem.
