I. I observe from this discourse of our Saviour, THAT MIRACLES ARE OF GREAT FORCE AND EFFICACY TO BRING MEN TO REPENTENCE.

II. THAT GOD IS NOT OBLIGED TO WORK MIRACLES FOR THE CONVERSION OF SINNERS.

III. THAT THE EXTERNAL MEANS OF REPENTANCE WHICH GOD AFFORDS TO MEN, DO. SUPPOSE AN INWARD GRACE OF GOD ACCOMPANYING THEM. sufficiently enabling men to repent, until by obstinate neglect and resistance we provoke God to withdraw it from the means, or else to withdraw both the grace and the means from us.

IV. That an irresistible degree of grace is not necessary to repentance, nor commonly afforded to those who do repent.

V. That the sins and impenitence of men receive their aggravation, and consequently shall have their punishment proportionable to the opportunities and means of repentance which those persons enjoyed and neglected.

VI. THAT THE CASE OF THOSE WHO ARE IMPENITENT UNDER THE GOSPEL IS OF ALL OTHERS THE MOST DANGEROUS, and their damnation shall be the most severe.

(J. Tillotson, D. D.)
