Than
:
the
pride
and
ftoutnefs
of
his
heart
feern'd
to
be
fo
much
abated,
that God
takes
notice of
it in the
29
verfe,
Seeft
thou
how
Ahab
hionblcrh
hirn
ft'lf
before
rr,e
;
and becaufe he
did
fo,
the judgement
was
deferred for
a
while ,
yet
certainly
4hab's
fin was
not,
nor
ever fhould
be
pardoned
,
though
he
put
on
Sackcloth
and
humbled
himfeif
before
the
Lord
:
t
appeal
unto you
this
morning.
Are not many
of
you hoping
for
pardon of
fin, and
yet
come far
fhort
of Ahab
?
all
you
do
in
your
repentance,is to fay,
God
be
merciful
unto me,
I
am
forry,
Lord
forgive me, and
there's
an
end, all's
done
pre
-
fently
;
but
Ahab went
a
great
deal
further,
and
yet
his
fin
was
not pardoned
:
Take
the example
of
Efeu,
you
know
what
the Scripture
fays
of
him,
He
fought
the
bleffing
i
with
tears,and
y
et
found
no
place
for
repentance
;
and
in
being
reje&
cd
of
the bleffing,
it
was
a
type
of
his
rejeftion
of
Heaven
fome
carry
it
thus, to
prove
there
may be
tears,
and
yet
no
true repentance, that
is a
truth
;
Efarc
was
very
much
trou-
bled,
and
fhed
many
tears,
and
yet there
was no
true
repen-
tance
:
but
I
rather
take the meaning
of
the
Text
thus
;
he
found
no place
of
repentance
in
his
Father Ifaac
;
his
Father
Ifaac
had given the bleffing to
facob,
and
would not
call
it
back, though
he
fought
it
with tears
;
there
was no
place
for
Ifaac
to recall
it
any more
,
though he flied many
tears,
yet
he went without
it
;
fo
that
there
may
be
much
forrow,
and
thou
may'ft
feek
the
bleffing
with
many tears
,
and
yet
God
may
be fo
turn'd
againft thee that
there
will
be
no
place
for
repentance, that
is,
God
will
not
call
in
that
that
is
out
againft
thee. And
of
7udas'tis
Paid
when he fawChriff
was condemn'd,
that
he
repented
:
'tis
faid
he did
repent, yet
fudas
was not
pardoned
;
fo
that
you
fee
plainly, there
may
be
repentance
,
and
yet
fin
never pardoned
:
Indeed,
true
repentance bath
e-
ver pardon
going along with
it
;
but the
Scripture
(peaks
of
a
repentance that
may
be
without pardon
;
therefore when
thou fay'ft thou
repentefl:
, you
muff
not
look upon it
fo
,
be-
caufe
you
repent, therefore your
fins
are pardoned,
as
if
eve-
ry
repentance was
true
;
for
thou miftakeft
in
the
work
of
repentance
, thou
thinkef
this
to
be
repentance
to
Salva-
tion,
for thee
to
be
forry
at
the very heart for thy
fins ;
