certainly
it

a

to the grace
of
God,
to

on it in
a
natural way,
and
dolt not confider,
it
is
the
great
defign
of
God
above
all
things
in
the
World,
to
magnifie
his
grace
in
pardoning
of

'Tis
a
great
evil
to_
meafure
God
by
our
own
thoughts,
and
there are
two
waies
of
difhonouring God
by
it.
r.
The
way
of
the
carnal
fecure
fanner
;he
meafured
God
by
his
own
thoughts,
he thinks
God
is
not fo
ftric$
to
be
angry
for every
fault;
and if
thou offendeft,
that
if
we
go
and
cry
him mercy ,
he will be
pleafed
again.
We
think
it
an
eafie
matter to
pleafe
God,
and becaufe
God
is
filent we
think
he
do's
not
hate
fin
as
he
doth,
that's
on way
of difho-
nouring
God.
A
Second way
is
when
a
man
comes
to be
troubled
for
fin,
and
confcience
enlightened
;
then
we
think (lightly
of
God
ano-
ther
way.
It
may
be
thou haft
a
hard heart
and wouldft
not pardon
one
that provokes
thee again and again
,
thou
wouldft not
pats
by
fuch
and
fuch offences
and
thou
think'ft
God
is
fo
too,
thou
thinkeft God to
be
like
thy felf
,
and
that
he cannot bear with thee in fuch and
fuch
things,
becaufe
thou
canft not bear
with others. This
is
to
judge
God
by
our own line,
but
know, that the thoughts
of Gods
pardoning
grace are
as
far
above
ours
au
the
Heavens are
above
the
Earth
;
and
therefore we
muff
not meafure
God by
our own
thoughts.
