Of
the
Drf
honour
done to
the
Grace
of
Gód
by
not
ret
ing
on
it.
2. Of
the
Evil
of
it.
T
Here
is
one
fort more that are great difhonourers
of
the pardoning grace
of
Gód,
and
they are thofe that
think
they
honóur
him ,
and
yet difhonour
him exceed-
ingly,
.fuch
as
being apprehenfìve
of
the
greatnefs
of their
fins,
the
vilenefs
of
them
and
their
own
mifery,
by reafon
thereof
lie
down
in
a
fallen
dee
f
erate difèouraging
mood,
under
the
weight
and
burden
of
them,
and
are
ready
to
turn againfi
themfelves,
fling
certainly,
my condition
is
fuch,
as
I
muff
expect
no other
but
to
lie
for ever under
the
burden
of
my
fins
,
and bear
for
ever
the
punifhment
of
them
;
I
have
heard
much indeed
of the riches
of
the pardoning
grace
of
God
;
but
for
my
part,
my
condition
is
fuch,
that little ex-
pedation I
have
of
being made
partaker of
it
;
certainly
this kind
of
Pullen
difcouragememnt,
in
lying under our
fins,
is
a
mighty aggravation
of
our
fin,
and
exceedingly
difhonour-
able
to
the
pardoning grace of
God
; many
that
are thus,
let
them
hear
never
fo much
opened
of
the riches
of
the Gofpel ,
and the infinitenefs
of
the
grace
of
God
;
all
is
nothing to
them,
it
raifes them not
from
the
fullennefs
of
their hearts
,
and
the difcouragement
of fpirit that
hangs upon
them
they
are like
to
thofe
in
Exod.

but fays
the
Text
, they
hearkened
not
to

only for anguifh
of fpirit,

for

;
fo
many people when
God
comes
to
awaken
their
Confciences,
there
is
fo
much anguifh
in
the
fenfe
of
their
fin,
that they hearken not
to
what
is
faid

let
