All this while God has not left the Sinners, nor is come to the end of his Patience towards him, but stands at least with the Door of Grace a jar in his Hand, as being loth as yet to bolt it against him.
4. Art thou followed with Affliction, and dost thou hear God's angry Voice in ⟨p. 138⟩thy Afflictions? Doth he send with the Affliction an Interpreter to show thee thy Vileness, and why or wherefore the Hand of God is upon thee, and upon what thou hast; to wit, that it is for thy sinning against him, and that thou mightest he turned to him? If so, thy Summer is not quite ended, thy Harvest is not yet quite over and gone, Take heed, stand out no longer, least he cause Darkness, and least thy Feet stumble upon the dark Mountains; and least while you look for Light, he turn it into the Shadow of Death, and make it gross Darkness, Jer. 8.20. Chap. 13.15, 16, 17.
