" the penitent Thief by " his dying Words attained " to the Reward of Eter- " nal Life. O let us then " turn our Hearts to God " speedily is the Judge in- " clined to our Petitions, " if we from our Per- " verseness be set streight. " O let us stand with ear- " nest Lamentations against " the threatning Sword of " so great a Judgment. " Certainly Perseverance " is pleasing to the just " Judge, although it is " not grateful to Men : be- " cause the Righteous and " Merciful God will have " us with earnest Petitions " to request his Mercy, " and he will not so much, " as we deserve, be an- " gry with us. Of this " he speaketh by his Pro- " phet. Call upon me in " the Day of thy Trouble, " and I will deliver thee, " and thou shall glorify me.
