Help. 5.

Yea further; God is fain first to yield to his poor Creature. It may be man may be wrought so far as to say; I wil send to such a man the second time; but when they are at parly, and are together, you shall see them, (if one of them be superior to the other) stand upon this; who shal yield first, and it wil be hard to bring the Superior to yeild. But God is not so. When we come to treat with God about our peace, and Re∣conciliation with him, though our hearts stand against it, yet God yeilds first. And for that you have a nota∣ble Text Rom. 5.10. If when we were enemies we were Reconciled unto God; which Phrase doth plainly note, that God is first contented to yield on his part: this is the infinite grace, and goodness towards man thus to begin with man in the point of Reconciliation.
