In-Text And such was the Method touching which St. Paul speaks in his Epistle to the Romans; Despisest thou the Riches of his Goodness and Forbearance and Long-suffering, not knowing that the Goodness of God leadeth thee to Repentance? When God is pleas'd to plant his Vineyard upon a very fruitful Hill, to make a strong fence about it, to gather out the stones, to build a Tower in the midst, and to make a Wine-press, what can he mean but to ingage it, to yield him Grapes in proportion to all his Culture? And he appeals to the Inhabitants of Ierusalem and Iudah, whether more could be done than he had done unto his Vineyard, what could he signifie but his Indeavours, to overcome evil with doing good? Thus God draws near to us in Mercies, that we may also draw near to Him, in the Amendment of our Lives and our Conversations.
