A call to the unconverted, to turn and live
A call to the unconverted, to turn and live; and accept of mercy, while mercy may be had; as they ever would find mercy, in the day of extremity from the living God. / By his unworthy servant, Richard Baxter.

The Lord complaineth of the People, and the People think it is long of God. The same controversy as handled, Chap xviii. ver. 25. they plainly say, that the way of the Lord is not •qual. So here they say, verse 19. if our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we •ine away in them how shall we then live? As if they should say. If we must die, and be miserable, how •a• we help […]? as if it were not long of them, but God. But God in my ⟨p. 8⟩text doth clear himself of, it, and telleth them how they may help it •f they will, and persuadeth them to use the mean, and if they will not be persuaded, he lets them know that is long of themselves; and if th•s will not satisfy them, he will not forbear to punish them. It is he that will be the Judge, and he will judge them according to their ways; they are no judge of him or of themselves, as wanting authority, and wisdom, and impartiality, nor is it the cavilling and quarrelling wi•h God that shall serve their turn, or save them from the execution of justice which they murmur at.
