vpon

for our
faluation
;
or
though
prefently
we
fede
not
this
faith and repentance,
yet ifeuer
in
former
time we
haue
dilcèrned
it
in vs,
that
then we
are
receiued
into
Gods
loue
and favour,
and
therefore
(hall haue

vs
vino
the
end,
be made partakers
of
his
gratious
promifes,
and heires
of
euerlailing
life
;
for
the
promifes
of
the
Gofpell
are
not
reflrained
to
thofe who
fcele
their faith,
but
to thofe
that
haue fa.ith;not
to
thofe
who fede that
they
doe
beleeue,
but
vnto thofe
who
doe beleeue.
.
Neither
is
the
not
feeling
of
Gods
loue and
fauour
a
good
argument to
prooue
that
we are
out
of
his loue and
fauour;
or
the apprehenfion
of
his
wrath
and
anger
in
ourfenfe
and
feeling,
a found reafon
to
perfwade
vs
that
wee are
fübiea
to
his
wrathful'
difpleafure
;
feeing
the
beeing,
of
a
thing,
and
the
fenfible
difcerning
of
the thing to bee,
are diners;
and therefore howfoeuer at fometimes
they<concurre,
yet
oftentimes
theyare
feuered
and difioyued
:
fo
that
the
con
-
clutaon
which
is
inferred
negatiuely
from
the fenfes,to
prooue
the
not
being
of
their
obieEt,
is
not
onely commonly
falle,
but
an
oftentimes
abfurd
and ridiculous;for
example,
.
fometimes
we
fee
not
the beams
of
the
finìne,as
in
the
night
feafon,or when
itis
couered with
foine
thicke
blacke cloud;
"ant Thal
we herehence conclude
that
the funne
fhineth
not,
nor
will
euer
againe
appeare
vnto
vs
?
So
the
bright
beames
of
Gods
loue and fauour
are
fometimes
hidden
from
vs
in
the night
oftentations,
and
fo
fhádowed
with
the cloud
of
our
grieuous
fins,
that
we
cannot
fenfibly difcerne
them;
but
(hal
we
hence inferre,
that there
is
no grace and mercy
to
be
found
with
God,
or
that
he
will*
neuer againe
make them
Thine
vpon
vs
?The
one
is
as abfürd
as
the
other,
and
'both
grofly
fall:
So
fometimes
the
funne
is
eclipfed
by the inter-
potation
ofthe
Moone,fo
as
we
cannot
difcerne his
light, of
very
dimly;
but
ifany
man
fhould conclude
fromhence
that
itwere
quite
taken
away,or;that we were depriued-itterly
of

the
