For this
Jima every n.an
that
tsgodly pray
unto thee
in
a
time
when thou
maif
be
found
;
as
if
David
in
this language fpake
thus,0
all
you
poor
finners,that
fin
againft
God,
think it
an eafie
matter
to get pardon
of
fin
;
know,
I
have
found it
otherwife,it
coal me
dear
before
I
could
get
affurance
of
pardon
;
and
there-
fore
for
this caufe
let every
one
that
is
acquainted
with
the
wayes
of
God,
feek
to
God
in
due
time,
and
not
put it off
front
time
to time,
for thebufinefs
is
not
fo
flight to
put it
off
:
many
abufe the
example
of David,
and
think
becaufe
he finned,
they
may take
liberty
to fin, but
they
confider not
what
abundance
of
farrow
it
colt
him to get
his
pardon
;
it
coil
him
fo
much
as
that
he
tells
them,
for
this
caufe
every
one
fhall
fee's,
God
in
due
time
:
many think they
may put it
off
till any time
;
but
mirk
what
David
fays,For
this
cearife
every man
that
is
godly
)1411
fee
thee
in
time
when thou
be
found
;
he does
not fay, I have
found mercy
in
the pardoning
of
my
great
fins, and
for
this caufe
men
fhall
be
bold to put it off
to any
time;
no,
but
for this
caufe
thofe that are
godly,
and have
any acquaintance
in
the wayes
of
God,
will
feek
God
in
a
time
that
he may
be
found
;
and
if
thofe that
are
godly,
that
have
fin
pardoned
in
the
Court
of
Heaven
find
fo
hard
a
matter
ofit
to get
it
pardoned
in
their
own
Confcience;
;
how
does it
concern
thee
that
perhaps
haft
thy
fin
neither
pardoned
in
the
Court of
Heaven,
nor
in
thy
own
Confcience,
But
art
in
the
gall
of
bitternefs
and
bond
of iniqui-
ty,
how concerns
it
thee
CO
look
to it
?
that
is a
third
fort
that
abufe
the mercy
ofCod
in having flight
thoughts
of
the
pardon
of
fin.
Fourthly,
rhofi
that
feek,
for
pardon but
are
infenfìble
of
the
greatnefs
of
the
work
of
God
in pardoning they
do
not put
it off,
but feek it
for the
prefent,but
how?
with extream
unfenfiblenefs
;
they
do
not
come
before
God
with brokennefs, trouble
and
con
trition of
fpirit
in
feeking
after pardon
offin;many
they repeat
of
their
fins
before
God,and
have
a
gift
of
Prayer,
it
is
that
which
would
make
a
mans
heart
to
tremble,to
confider
how
many have
a
great gift
in
Prayer,
and
will
be
praying half
an
hour,
and will
repeat
abundance
of their
fins, make
Catalogues,
and
tell
large
flories
of
their
fins,
bring
in
all
the aggravations againft them
for their
fins
;
judge themfelves
,
and
fpeak
mighty words
?oì
against
