[ 1194] Mercies of God in Christ Jesus to be sought while they may be found.
HEE that intends to speak with any one in a well fortified Castle,* 1.1 must
come by day whilest the draw-bridge is down, otherwise being once up, there
will be no entrance at all, Thus many a Man loseth Mercy as Saul did his
Kingdom by not discerning the time; Esau came too late, and the foolish Vir∣gins
did not lay hold upon the first opportunity; He therefore that resolves for
Heaven, must in the time of this life make good his passage, strive to enter
whilest the bridge of Mercy is let down; For if it be once drawn up,* 1.2 there's no
by-ward, no loop-hole to creep in at: And that Soul must needs then be ex∣posed
to the Iustice of God, where Mercy hath shut up her tender bowels of compas∣sion.
