againft
the
grace
of God,
that they
know not what
to
fay,
but
go
away
for
half
an
hour,
and
they
will
have
the
fame
ob-
jec`ttons
as
if
never
any
thing
had
been faid
unto them, cer-
tainly there
is
more
evil in
this
,
than you
are aware
of,
this
limiting
and
determining
of
Gods grace
:
'tis true, there
is
reafon to
judge
your
felves
unworthy,
and
that
God
may
deny
you,
but
that
God
will deny
you
is
another thing
;
there
is
a
great
deal
of
difference
in
there
:
fome when
they
are
put upon the
ufe
of
means,
will confefs
they ought to
at-
tend
upon
them,
andthat
they
will do
it,
but
yet when I
have done
all,
I
have
little
hopes that
God
will
deliver
me,
but
I
fhall
dye
and
perifh
in
my
fins,
as
that woman,

am
a
poor
Woman,
I
have but
a
ha-idful
of
meal
in
the
barrel,and
a
little
Oyl
in
a
Crufe,and
am
gathering
two
flicks
that
I
may
eat
it
and
dye
;
fo
much
as
I
have
I
am
preparing,
and
when
I
have
eaten
this
I
muff
dye,
thus
fays
many
a
foul,
I
may
go hear the word
and
pray,
but
to little
purpofe
;
But
I
will
go
and do
them and then
I
muff
dye.
It
is
but
little that
I
can
make
of
Prayer,
when
I
have
fpoken
two
or
three words,
I
am
prefently diftrac`ed with wandring
thoughts.
Two or
three
flicks
I
may lay
together, but
when
I
have
done
that,
I
mutt
dye.
Now
know
and
confider this
day,
what from
God
fhall
be
faid
unto
you,
thou
much
difhonour-
eft the pardoning grace
of
God.
Firft,
Know
it
is
very
low
thoughts
thou
haft
of
the
pardoning
mercy
of
God,and what
Chri
fl
bath purchafed,and what
God
bath intended
from
everlafting in
the
Covenant
of grace,
to
thofe
fouls
for whom
he intends
good
;
and
though for
his
inten-
tions
he
keeps
them to
himfelf
(
and
would not have thee
meddle
with
that)
till
he
manifeft them
in
the
work
of
grace
,
yet
in
the
mean
time having revealed no
further,
but
that
thou
have
it
as
well
as
any
other,
he expects
from
thee
that thou fhouldft venture thy felf
upon
his
grace through
his
Son
Jefus
Chrift,
and
though thou
fail
thou
art
vile,
un-
worthy,
and
after the
ufe
of
means,
that thou
art
unprofi-
table, vain,
full
of
wandring thoughts
and
deadnefs,
and
therefore
thou canft not
expec`f
grace
;
know
that
thou
haft
but mean
thoughts
of
the grace
of
God,
that
