punifhrnents which

;
but
it
is a
thoufand to
one
if
we
then truly
repent, who
haue
hued
our
whole
time
in
impenitencie, or then turne
vnto
God
if
wee
were not before
that
time effeóualy
called
and
conuerted;
for
as
wee
liue,
fo
wee commonlie die;
neither
is
it
likely
that
hauing
led
our
hues
like wicked
Balaam,
we
fhould die
the
death
ofthe
righteous;that
hauing
alwaies
hitherto been
thornes and
thifiles we should
now
bring forth
fweet figges
and pleafant
grapes
when
wee
are
readie
to
bee cut
downe
.andto
be
cat+
into the
fire;
that
hauing
all
our
life
(owed
the
feedes
ofwickedneffe
we
fhould at our death
reape
the fruit
of
godlineffe;
And
therefore(as
the Apollle
exhorteth)let
vs
not
be deceiued, Clod
is
not
mocked;
for whatf
ewer
a
man
fozvetls
that
!hod
he alto
reape;
for
he
that
foweth

f
lefh,'ball

corruption,
but
he
that
forveth
to
the
mirit,fhall
of
the
reapelifeeuerlafling,
as
it
is
Ga1.6.7.8.Let
vs
now turne
GaL6,T.S.
vnto
God,
while
he calleth
vs
and
granteth
vs
the
meaner
ofour
conuerfion
the
miniflerie
of
his
word
;
now
is
the ac-
ceptable time,
now
is
the
day
of
our faluation;
and
if
wee
will now
turne vnto
God
and
trulie repent
while1
we
might
continue
in
our
finnes,
we
maybe
allured
our repentance
is
true
and vnfained,
and
not
preffed
out
_ofvs
with
fenfe
of
.prefent
paine,nor forced with
feare
of
future
punifhment,
and
that turning to
God,
wee fhall be receiued
to
grace and

then
offer
to

might
haue
ferued
