though

I

it
might

Further,
Thou
fait?
God
is
merciful,
True,
the
mercy
of
God
is
fweet and
a blefi
-ed
argument,
and
our
fouls much
delight
to
open the
grace
and mercy
of
God
;
and
I
have
endeavou-
red
to open
to
you what
is
revealed
in
the
Gofpel
;
yet
Gods
mercy
is
free, though
he
delight
to
glorifie
his
mercy
:
and
he
bath thoufand
thoufands
of
Subjec`t's,
to
glorifie
his mercy
in,
though
thou perifh
eternally. Though thou
perifh eternally, yet
God
may
be
glorious
in the
blefiednefs
of
his
mercy
:
God
bath others
to
magnifie his
mercy unto
besides
thee
:
a
beg-
gar
comes and asks
an
alms
of
a
man
,
and he
gives
him
none
that
is
not
an
argument the
man
is
not
merciful
,
for he bath
other
objects, that are more
fuitable and
fit
;
though
he give
not to every one,
'tis no
difhonour
to his
compaffion
;
fo
it
is
with
God,
he
hath thoufands
of
objects to beftow
his
mercy
on
;
though thou perifh.
Further,

faift
God
is

ciful,
and
therefore
thou
hop'ft
for pardon
:
Why
?
God
is
and
hath
been
merciful
to
thee
beyond
all
that thou canft
conceive,
God
bath
