And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah.] David did: so doth God bow and draw the hearts of his elect, by motions of mercy, and proffers of pardon upon their return unto him. See Isaiah 55:7-8.

Put as much confidence in them as you safely can, and this will not fail to excite their confidence towards you.
