God
will
hold you to this Scripture, that
you
muff
repent
at
fuch
a
rime
as
that you
muff keep
all
Gods
Statutes,
then
you fee, this
is
the
worít
time
of
all,to defer
repentance till
your
Fick

;
for
how
can
you
keep

then,,
and
do
all
that
is
lawful and
right
then
?

And
what
haft
thou
no

fpirit,
but
to defer
coming in
till

?
Haft
thou
no

care
of
thy

no
more
love
to
God
and his
ways,
but
to put
it
off till
fuch a

is

The
Eighth
way
of
difhonouring the
pardoning
grace
of
God,
and
the
moft
confiderable
of
all,
is
the
feeling
and
expeEt-
Ing
of it
any
other way,
but
only
through the
Mediation
of
the
Son
of
God
;
I
told
you
in
the opening
of
the glorious myfteries
of
pardoning grace,
that
it muff be
done
by
a
Mediator
:
Now,
not
only
grofs ignorant
people,
but
many others diíhonour the
pardoning
grace
of God,
they
are. not
fenfible
of
this
:
that it
is
fuch grace that only
comes
through
the Mediation
of
the
Son
of
God
:
We
have
too low
thoughts
of
the
pardoning grace
of
God,
if
we do think there
is
a
pcflibility
of
attaining
it
any
other
way
than by
the mediation
of
him, that
is
God
-Man
:
If
we
think
our
crying
to
God
at any time
will
doit,
or
our roaring
out
in
an-
guifh
of
fpirit,
forty,
fifty,
or
fixty
years
is
enough to do it
:
or
that
there
is
any
thing
to attain it
by, under
the mediation
of
the
Son
ofGod,
we
have too low
thoughts
of
the
pardoning
grace
of
God,
we
give not
God
that honour that
is
due unto
ir.
Luther
has
a
notable expreffion to this
purpofe,
It
is
a horrible blgíhemy
If
you prefume
to pacifie
God
by
any
works,
'tis
an excellent
fpeech;
fo
I
fay,
'tis
horrible
blafphemy and intolerable to
think
to
have
any
thing
in
the leaft
of
your own,
to prefume
upon
that God
will
be
pacified
with it, whereas
God
cannot
be
pacifi-
ed
by any
other
means,
than
by
the
infinite
price
of
the
Death
and
Blood
of
his own
Son
;
one
drop
of
which
is
more
precious,
than
all
the creatures
of
Heaven and
Earth
;
God
will
fay,
Have
I
revealed
fuch
a
way
of
being
reconciled
with
my
Creatures,
and
