I Knew that thou art obsti∣nate,* 1.1 and thy necke is an yron sinew, and thy brow brasse, Esa. 48. 4. I knew that thou wouldst grieuously trans∣gresse, therefore haue I called thee a transgressor from the wombe, vers. 8. In thy natiuitie when thou wast borne, thy nauill was not cut, thou wast not washed with water, I saw thee polluted in thine own blood, Ezech. 16. 4. 6. Neuerthelesse, for my names sake,
and for my praise, haue I refrained my wrath from* 1.2 thee, that I cut the•…•… not off, Esa. 48 9. Yea, euen when thou wast in thy blood, I said vnto thee, thou shalt liue, •…•… sware vnto thee, and entred into a coue∣nant with thee, saith the Lord, and thou art become mine, Ezech. 16. 8. For why shall I cause others to trauaile and bring forth, and shall I remaine barren, saith the Lord? Esa. 66. 9. No; But in the middes of my children, the worke of mine hands, shall my name be sanctified, Esa. 29. 23. Thou shalt call me father, and not turne from me, Ierem 3. 19. And I will put a new spirit in thy bowels, that thou maist walke in* 1.3 my statutes, Ezech. 11. 19. Old things are passed a∣way, behold all things are made new: if any man be in Christ, let him become a new creature, 2. Cor. 5. 17. Verely I say vnto you, except a man be borne againe, he cannot see the kingdome of God, Ioh. 3. 3. Be yee therefore renewed in the spirit of your mind, Eph. 4. 23. Putting on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge, after the image of him who created him, Coloss 3. 10.
Marke our natu∣rall miserie.
Behold what a loue the Father hath •…•…ewed vs.
See the will of God concerning our sanctification.
