202,

Gojpel Rerazjsaon.

yc

God

is

good; his

Word,

his

ways are

good

his Gofpel

and

the

Covenant

in

his

Son

is

good

;

and

whatever troubles

are

upon me,

yet

G,..

;d is

righteous

:

and

although God

juflifie

not me, vet I

will justifie

God

;

if

there

be

any foul

that

canno, find his

Evidences,

or

any

of

thofe

f

gns

before fpoken

cf,

you

'flak

make ufe

of

this

:

if

you cannot

find any

other

do

-hat

thou

can'

}

to

juflifie

God

;

thou

art

afraid

that

God

will

not

,jullifie

thee,

do

thorn

¡uf

ifie

bim

;

fometimes

it

is

wih

many

men,

as

with

fomewretched

fervant

that

has

dealt

falf11

vitb

his

Mafler,

anal

may

be

all

the while

he can

make

an

advantage

of

his

Matter

for

his own ends

,

he

will

fpeak

wall of him

,

but

if

his

Mailer

turn

him out

of

doors for

his wickcdnefs then

he

rails

on him

;

'tis ordinary for

bad

fervants to

do

fo

when

they are

turn'd

away for

their

wicked

-

nefs

;

and

fo it

is

with many, when

all goes

well with them

then

they like

well

of

the wayes

of

God

;

but

if

they

come to

fuck

a

condition

as

that

they think that

God

wi

l

call

them away

indeed

,

and

that they are

like

to peri

1h,

then

.hey begin

to

have

hard

thoughts

of

God

,

and by

de-

grees,

they fpeak

agsinfl God

and

his ways

;

take

heed

of

this,

although

you want the Evidences

of

his love and

mercy, yet

retain

in

your hearts

good thoughts

of God

and

of

his

ways,

and this will

be

a

fpecial help

to bring into

your

fouls the

comfort

and afftirance

of

your Jullification

;

and

now

I

have

done with this

argument,

I

have [hewed you

who

it

is

that

bath his

fins

pardoned

,

I

have

[hewed

the

feveral

m

iflakes,

and

I

have

íhewed

you

ccrta'n

infallible

grour.d'

from Scripture

Evidences

of

the

pardon

of

fin

and Rules

how to make

ufe

of

thofe

Evidences

;

and now upon

what

you

have

heard,

you have teftimony

and

afTuránce

of

the pardon

of

your fins,

or

you have not

;

if

you

find

your

hearts do

not anfwer

to

thefe Evidences,

or

that you are

afraid

that

your

fins

are not pardoned

,

then take

a

ufe

of

Exhortation to

put

you

onto

leek

after

this

bleffednefs.
