There is but one Attribute in God, that such Sinners can have any hope in, and that is Mercy; but herein they deceive themselves; for even Mercy will plead against them, I have waited so long, I have called so often, and have been rejected in such a scornful manner, that every base lust hath been prefer’d before me; therefore I will laugh at their Calamity, and mock when their fear cometh. O let them consider what Mercy it is, that they deceive themselves with, to their everlasting Undoing: It is an uncovenanted Mercy, a Mercy without Christ, without the Spirit of Grace, without Faith, Repentance and Holiness.
