and some time to be mitigated by good workes we haue declared a litle before, to wit, in the third obseruation vp∣on this confession. Moreouer, the word merit, both in the words which follow (Repentance deserued that God should alter his purpose, touching the destruction of Niniuie:) and also in other places▪ wheresoeuer either this or other Confessions doe vse it, it is without doubt thus to be taken, for that which we saie, to obteine, and to get, as it is often times vsed among the auncient Latine deuines. And whereas God here is said to haue chaunged his minde, we do not doubt, but that our bre∣theren do vnderstand it, as spoken after the manner of men, as when he is said to Repent him of some thing: or else it is to be referred to the outward preaching of Ionas. For as con∣cerning God himselfe, it was onelie a threatning, and not a sentence decreed.
